Quote:Actually, I lost the +2 over Alpha buff with the crash. I still outlasted a couple of the others.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
For the record, the Battalion soldiers were Tankers buffed with controller pets (not sure if any of the drivers used them: they would have been quickly vaporized), ranged attacks, purple triangles, and shifted +2 beyond the alpha shift. Oh, and to make them really hard to kill, some of you might have noticed they had a powerful green healing and regenerating aura. You guys were fighting Tanker-mitos: that's the healing power of a green Hamidon mitochondria.
So yeah: tanker health, near capped resistances, AV triangles, mito healing, shifted 50+3. Tough, but not invincible - as we saw. I hope you guys enjoyed my attempt to create a balanced opponent for you.

In a crowd shot like that you wouldn't be able to see the names in the 3 point font either.

You're right. I now don't feel bad for Carbine. It also reinforces my low opinion of Garriott.

One concern with the 650 ti you linked to. I have a PCI Express 2.0/16. Is the 3.0/16 a different slot fit? I'm thinking it's the 16 that matches up okay, but I wanted to be sure

Tom's Hardware has a Graphic's Card Hierarchy Chart. It was just updated for November 2012.
The 460-256bit is one step up from the GTX550. The 460 seems to require a 450W PSU. -
CoH was the final straw for me. I knew about the other games, however none of those games were genres I was especially interested in. I also knew that once they say that they are shutting down a game that there wasn't a chance to save CoH as it existed in August. I'm tired of hearing that "if only NCsoft could see what this is doing, they'll change their mind". That isn't going to happen.
At the point where NCsoft dumped Auto Assault I was already 2+ years invested in this community. Tabula Rasa died when I had 4+ years invested into CoH. Year 5 witnessed the closing of two more games (Exteel and Dungeon Runners). Year 6 had 3 closures (Lineage 1 and two other Korean titles). Likely the only reason they haven't closed 4 games this year is that they are running out of titles to dump.
So over the last 5 years my opinion of NCsoft has eroded:- From "This company backed CoH when times are tough." (2007)
- To "This company seems a bit mis-managed."
- To "This company is being run by idiots."
- To "This company doesn't actually care about its games at all."
- To "Why the hell do people keep trusting this company?" (present)
There comes a point where you have to take a look at what a group is doing vs what they are claiming. They claim they are the worldwide leader in MMOs, but all they are is the worldwide leader of MMO-Killers.
NCsoft doesn't deserve the attention it is getting. In my mind they are already a dead company. I will never buy a product from them, and I will do my best to tell others why to avoid them. I feel bad for Carbine, but they should have done their homework before joining with NCsoft.
I've dealt with other companies that have pulled the same stunts as NCsoft has (take from a financially viable product to fund multiple failed product launches). Things didn't end well for those companies either. -

So in order to stop NCsoft killing any more gaming communities, you want them to kill off ALL of their gaming communities by going out of business?
I was prepared to stay with this game well into 2014. I never gave up trying to get players that left to come back.Quote:Originally Posted by BrandX
The best way to keep a game from closing down?
Don't keep leaving it when you rush to max level and go "What's next?"
Also, get friends into it! May not work, but it'd help -
Quote:I wasn't talking about ex-employee comments. When current employees in Korea say that "the company gives an almost free lunch" as the only good thing about a company, the corporate atmosphere is toxic.Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
Yes because disgruntled EX employees always make a great reference for how good a company is. I would rather work at a job where I hated the company..than not have a job.
Here is the thing: I don't wish any players of NCsoft games the disappointment when their game gets shut down. However it will happen.Quote:Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
So yeah when I see people saying they hope X-Game shuts down...reminds me how petty people truly can be to wish that on other people; employees and gamers.
I could care less about the employees though. They are supporting an unethical company. They know how bad things are internally.
Nope, I found a MMO I like. I liked it enough to commit to it for at least 14 months. I liked it enough that I put my money on that game when there are countless F2P and solo games I could play or even buy a console system to play that.Quote:Originally Posted by BrandX
I get the feeling that some of those upset to that point have no other MMO they want to play.
Likely why they also say every other one is terrible and try to point out every bad thing about them.
I have accounts with two F2P games as well (rarely used).
There comes a point where you have to say "Just go away." I've got to that point with NCsoft. I'm positive that players will find other games and employees will find other work (okay, given the attitude of some NCsoft employees, some won't) and life will go on without NCsoft. It is an overrated company, and a lot of its practices hindered development here.Quote:Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
I don't play any other MMO but would never wish for people to become unemployed or for fans of another game to lose their game. Seems silly/petty/cruel to wish financial hardship and/or sadness on complete strangers because you don't like a company they are associated with.
NCsoft is paving the way to making itself go out of business, at least in North America. I will neither help it nor hinder its progress to oblivion. -
Quote:From employee comments, working for another company would be considered a benefit.Originally Posted by BrandX
Yup! Nothing like hoping more people get put out of work! \o/
It is going to happen. There will be a time when NCsoft shuts down another game. The company is a pathological game killer. I consider NCsoft going out of business so they won't kill more communities to be the one of the best things that could happen to the game industry.Quote:Originally Posted by Another_Fan

I'd like to do some regular Magisterium runs for practice as well... I'll try for a league Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
Likely around 6pm Pacific, 8 pm Central, 9 pm Eastern for those nights.

I don't think I'm feeling up to running a trial tonight. -
Oh, and you can try manually joining a channel too:

You can check who is on a channel by:

I've done it for Templar and Illuminati. I really like how the three factions essentially get the same story, but at different points in the overall story. Your actions as a Templar directly affect the mission the Illuminati get (the Illuminati show up at the parking garage last, after the show is essentially over.)
And yeah, the use of illumination is really well done. There are a couple of future missions that send you into darkness as well, very creepy. Speaking of which, remember to hang on to the head lamp you get from this mission! It will come in handy later.Quote:Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I tried to keep mine but when I exited the mission it was gone.

Quote:It is very possible that there is a problem with your account, I know of at least one person that had a major chat bug. /petition it and hopefully the GMs will be able to help you out.Originally Posted by Furio
Maybe I've screwed something up with my settings, but I literally *never* see any chat. I see people, have done a couple of dungeons through the group finder, but my main's just finished egypt and i never see any one chatting
Other than that, there is the instructions up-thread about setting up the auto-join for channels, but here is a screenshot of the files needed:
A "Scripts" folder needs to be in the game folder, and the two files need to be named exactly the same (no extension). -

Quote:Yeah, it is going to be White that I'll bring, nothing else is close to the requirements.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
I agree, your requirements aren't out of line for what you want to do. White's build is fairly tight and if I bring her, I'll have to drop one or two powers to do the leadership pool. I'll check a couple of my other 50s, as they might be better suited to this. On the other hand, if I don't have anything better suited, I'll bring White to help others get the badge.
