    All City of Heroes/City of Villains servers are centrally located in Dallas, Texas, as of July 29, 2010.

    I miss the days of living 15 miles from Pinnacle, rather than 1500.
  4. All powers get turned off, not just suppressed. If you want to know why you can go to any WW/BM on Virtue -- I'll bring my Spines/Fire with Quills and Flames going, and arrange for any number of Kins to drive-by SB you, while a half-dozen MMs have full sets of pets out.

    To qualify for the "fast-track" to all the goodies, you have to agree to let any NCSoft/Paragon Studios employee take over the character in question, at any time, with no prior warning.

    No real difference between Home, Pro, Ultimate as far as COH is concerned.
    I can verify that CoH runs (or at least ran) on Win Server 2003 x64 as well.

    Anyone have a confirmation for kheldians?

    We experienced some "bugs" with the scrapper's stalker power last night. It seems that any time two people would try to enter the security room (ie, a stalker and a scrapper), one would die.
    My PB got Ghost Widow, whichever that corresponds to.

    Yeah, because no one ever played /SR before i9.
  9. My latest seems to fill these specs nicely:
    ASUS G51J. i7-q720m, 6 GiB RAM, 500 GiB HD, nVidia GTS 360M, 1920x1080 15.6", upgraded to Blu-ray writer. $1665 from xoticpc.com. See their website for more detailed specs. Also available from 1toppc.com, agearnotebooks.com, and others.

    I am very pleased with it.

    Hee. I used to do that with Claws.Shockwave. Not many people complain about the KB when _everything_ in the corridor is against the far wall. In fact, at one time I had 12 Centrioles slotted in my scrapper. I still speculate that she was the only scrapper to have ever done that.
  11. Lenovo is still who I look at first when it _has_ to work. These machines are used by people whose bill rate approaches the cost of the hardware, so virtually any decrease in downtime is worth the extra money for reliability.

    For my own use, my last three laptops have been ASUS. They've consistently delivered the feature set I was looking for at the best price.

    Wth???

    Seems to be fixed as of 15:20 EST. At least it's downloading a new sound.pigg atm.

    Wth???

    Happened to me as well. All .pigg files after playerMale.pigg (in alphabetical order) are gone.

    Dull and uninteresting would be an inherent I had to stop scrapping and plan how to use for maximum advantage. Wild and scrapper-like is one that crushes my foes unpredictably, without requiring any thought on my part, during frenzied melee.

    Back to Basics

    Very interesting. I'm doing something like that now; my quest is to try to do as much dev content (hero-side atm) as possible at the appropriate level. I.e. all missions from all contacts, or filling the relationship bar for repeatables before outleveling, plus the safeguards. The only exception I'm making is for TFs and trials.

    BTW, there is truly astounding amount of stuff to do in the 20-24 band.

    The team so nice, Turg joined it twice!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Fixed that... looks like team #1 is now full and we are good to go @ 8:30PM. Let's plan on meeting up at the CO base, please. If more folks show up -- we'll need a volunteer to lead team #2.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Damn it, I need to pay more attention to CO. I'll lead the second Synapse team tonight if we get enough people.

    This weekend was one heckuva great Paragon-fest at our house.

    We enjoyed the Positron TF immensely (Those words have never been uttered by me before). The rest of the long weekend things were very hectic so we did not get back with our friends on Champion to try something else. Thanks again for putting it together. What a RUN!

    Someone mentioned Synapse... considering the skill and experience level witnessed during the Posi TF, I think we should make it a Standard CO Policy to hit each TF at level (and crush it!). I submit this to House Super-human Affairs Committee for further consideration!

    Just a few of my thoughts as I sit here at work sipping coffee on a chilly Tuesday morning.
