We're still go for this?
Going to have to peel my boy off the gamebox soon. -
My brother, AKA @Crypto Knight.

It might.

Quote:it has been a good week for baking...
I bought a laptop with borked video because i was fairly positive it could be fixed by baking...
It is working now after 7m 45s @ 385f in a conventional oven. i noticed a heavy solder smell when pulling the board out of the oven. -

Split the insanity between the 2 of you?

Just to clear that up:
Quote:no nemesis system War Witch says
"Hey all,
Just to clarify before speculation runs toooooo rampant, we're not doing a Nemesis-type system for Issue 17.
War Witch "
But that says nothing of an evil twin / clone type foe. -
Wild Guessing in progress:
I'm thinking the enemy which can match one "blow for blow" is either an exact duplicate one's character, or some type of enemy / AV than can emulate the powers of the characters facing them / it.
Quote:The concept would tie in nicely with the Going Rogue theme we're headed into, plus the tech to make it happen already exists in the game (costume saving, Mission Architect).MMORPG.COM: Issue 17 will also introduce a "new and nefarious foe" that will be able to match players "blow for blow." Given the Issue's title, I'm guessing it will be your doppelganger, but for now Paragon Studios isn't saying anything more than that.
Well, I'm even more curious to see it now. -
Quick follow up here, to pursue the hijacking further:
- 50M received from Smite for New Player Council events
- New Asus EAH5858 vid card has replaced the faulty* 880GT (was even artefacting during post) and I'm back in Paragon City. Hide your badges.
- *Faulty card repaired by stripping and cleaning it, setting it up to bake at 385F for 9 minutes. After a 30 min. cool down it was remounted and set up in wife's PC. It has been working fine since last Friday.
Thx for the tip Impyre. -
This will be my first raid since the changes made back in I9.
I'm not even kidding.
I'd like to bring in my inv/em tanker but also have fire/dev, dm/regen, db/regen, da/db. My mélée preferrence is showing.
Wife also will be there, probably on her ice/emp.
Feel free to bully us around so that we can fall into place. -

I'll be ferrying the kids and then running errands.
...
When is the rerun scheduled? -
I'm late!
Happy Birthday Ura Hero!
Here's your b-day cake, as I usually like to offer:
What?
Well, I got hungry... -
Quote:"Had."...And I totally forgot about Stalemate having a dead video card.
Got a replacement card tonight - weeks ahead of the planned schedule.
Put that little ATI 5850 thru the paces just a bit to get the settings to my liking in Paragon City. I'll be testing it further over the weekend as time allows.
I know Smite... I know. I changed my mind at the counter tonight. Literally.
Impyre suggested something to try with the previous 8800GT card (which involves an oven), so I'll give that a shot and see if I can revive it or not and have the artefacting at post disappear. -
NOTE TO MENTORS:
It may be another few weeks before I can get a replacement graphics card so my ingame presence will be rare. If it does happen, please don't fault me for wanting to play instead of manage the group.
I will be back in regular action as quickly as I can.
Meanwhile, please continue to promote the project in low level areas and announce any new partnerships you already have or will start. Feel free to be as creative as you want in this. My suggestions in the social group threads are only examples.
This Mentor Project cannot work unless there is some sort of visibility extended in the lower level ranges of players, and this has to be undertaken by mentors on a regular basis.
Addendum - Dr Apocalypse, Mortal Prey and Talbein Vikshus: Please accept the invitation in your User CP to the Mentor Project social group here on the CoH boards. -
I had pretty much forgotten about that... Thx for jogging my memory guys,
As for the graphics card, I was told the offer I had been proposed (wicked deal on a BFG 285GTX OC) isn't going to work as they can no longer get the card.
Since my order had already been approved they proposed the same kind of rebate on another card (about 33% odd retail), but none of the other cards appeal to me.
I may find myself relying on the kids' PC playing in safemode whenever they're not using it, which means rarely, until I can replace it.
Since Real Life issues came up, that expense may have to be put on the back burner for a while longer. -
I won't modify the info in the PV channel MOTD for the time being then.
Hopefully someone will pick up the mantle.
Gratz on the job btw. -
Quote:...Leo, how come it doesn't let you purchase them from the site?
IP block. "Unfortunately, this item is not available for sale to your region from the NCsoft Store. We suggest you inquire with a local retailer to make your purchase."
There are always workarounds such as using Hotspot Shield. I recommended this to a SG mate living in Europe and it worked fine for her purchases off the PlayNC store. Also works for Hulu.
Just saying. -
BONNE FÊTE!
It wouldn't be a good b-day without cake, would it?
And of course, this one has a little... Quebecer feel to it.
-
I'm interested, but availability is going to a problem for me if it turns into a competition.
Caliber Black, DP/Dev blaster. -
Thanks Sokyoku.
I may have grab one of the other PCs to get in. I need to keep promoting/recruiting neophytes and start poking mentors about how their own promoting is going.
Also, if they've started partnerships we could get some sort of status report going.
Friday night might work out for a tentative return since the kids will be out until 10PM or so. Less crying when I commandeer their PCs then.
