  1. Sounds like a new player triggered event along the lines of the Rikti Invasion for completing the LGTF.

    If players crash enough servers, it triggers the War Walker invasion on all servers that are still playable.
  2. What event did the Devs make in Atlas?
  3. I must admit, this wasn't what I was expecting when I saw the thread title.

    But then I remembered that Forbin already knew about the Whine/Rage Quit power set that so many seem to embrace.

    That might actually work. It would let people that can't get to the Shadow Shard unlock the Rularuu weapons.

    Since the Invasion Code presents the invaders as even con to your level, it wouldn't be as annoying as the original Rularuu event with the eyeballs one-shotting lowbies that hadn't even gotten into draw distance to be able to see them.

    That wouldn't work either. I'd still have to team for a while, if only with myself.

    Anyone that has met me can tell you that I don't even like putting up with me most of the time.

    Also, you are making me defend Golden Girl here. Please consider in your mind how wrong you are in that I'm forced to do this.
    This is my first harsh comment in response to one of her posts that I can recall. I've even defended her posting style here and elsewhere.

    Much of the reason for my response tonight is due to her continual refusal to understand that when people say solo they don't mean that they want to be invited to a different type of team or a team of a smaller size. Or maybe she does understand and just doesn't use much common sense when typing the first thing that pops into her head.

    Since she knows I don't team, even in testing, it's rather ridiculous to have thought I'd have bothered looking at what might be in the LFG tab. I leave that for people that will be willing to test teaming items.

    Considering I've defended her in the past it means nothing to me that you seem to not like defending her.

    EDIT: I've also defended you in the past and have no remorse about doing so.

    Why would I bother looking at things on the LFG tab? The LFG tab is related to teaming and I don't do that.

    Use a bit of common sense before you post nonsense like that. Maybe some posters wouldn't be so harsh about your comments if you did.

Yes, they are used, but it makes no sense that a build (supposedly)runs fine on the test but needs a fix days after the release to live. I know that every single scenario can't be tested and there could be minor issues. What I get from that is that they are releasing the build too early and with known bugs.
    It's not that it's being released with known bugs, but when it hits the Live servers they have a much higher load than Beta and Test get. Some of the bugs they've found this way in the past have only been found when under full load and generally showed up on the Freedom and Virtue servers first since they have the highest load.

    There have been other factors that caused major problems in the past that weren't encountered on Test but showed immediately on Live due to some other configuration issues on one or more particular servers, usually an unusual configuration.

    Stress testing, load testing, and all sorts of things are done during testing, but there are some things that those tests won't give full information on. Ghost Falcon told us in general about how those two situations above had shown up in the past that were never seen during testing. I'd much rather that they be vigilant after the patches and take down servers quickly for testing.

    It's much better than Issue 2 or Issue 3 release when it went a whole weekend and into the early part of the next week when things were fixed. In-game support was taking between 4 hours and a day to get to problems and more petitions were coming in while they dealt with what they had already.
  11. IIRC, that is the generic driver that Windows 7 installs and it doesn't include OpenGL support.

    There have been several reports of problems with the current 11.8 desktop drivers (and I doubt the Mobility drivers are any better) and previous versions as well. It's easy to find the older desktop drivers on the ATI site, but I'm having no luck finding the older Mobility drivers for your card and OS combination.

    As for the Gateway site, well, when I go to the information pages on that notebook it shows that it comes with an ATI Mobility 2600. When you go to the Drivers and Downloads pages, it only lists Intel drivers. Way to go Gateway.

    Luckily, you can download the 11.3 Mobility drivers from TechPowerUp. You may be able to find links to the 11.4, 11.2, 11.1 or earlier drivers with a little searching.

    Be sure to follow proper Un-installation procedures using a program like Driver Sweeper after uninstalling your old drivers but before rebooting. This will remove left-over bits of the previous driver so that you can cleanly install other drivers.

    So what you are saying is that you want them to just turn the servers on and let you on no matter what kind of problems you may experience?

    You are much different from many of the forum posters that claim they aren't fixing problems.

    I guess my signature is more apropos than I thought.

    Are you sure you spelled his name right?

    *rolls around on floor laughing uncontrollably*

























    Yes, that was a joke. The joke's on Zwangelbushenrodholdersbaconwafflesaregood.
  15. To follow up on what Zwaggenborkenhazelnut posted above, he's always responded to my PM's. Even though I refuse to spell his name correctly and even when it's nothing to do with the game (those generally take longer due to low priority).

    It's not always immediately since he's got PM's coming in faster than he can deal with them, he's in and out of meetings, UStream chats, convention planning, convention attending, convention panels, Meet N Greet's after or before the panels, specific testing on the Test servers, testing on the Beta servers, having a real life and a family, having to respond to questions from co-workers, having to wait for answers from co-workers, having to wait for answers from Austin, having to respond to questions from Austin ..... *take a deep breath* ..... and somehow find time to communicate with us on the forums, Facebook, Twitter, possibly LiveJournal (is that still going?) or other things I haven't thought of.

    Yeah, I'd be blowing up at people on a regular basis if I had his job. That's likely why I don't have that type of job. Well, that and no one would want me enforcing forum rules, including me.

    Thanks for the update Zwiffelpuffinstuff, it's appreciated.

    Technically, it is incorrect. The way you stated it is correct, but there is a difference in how you stated it and how Claws stated it.

    If Claws had said "what they are calling everyone who is playing now (except for trial accounts). As it is, the way it is worded would include former subscribers that are not currently subscribed in the everyone group (everyone not playing on a trial account at least group).

    Is it nitpicking? Certainly. And some will nitpick every little thing. Some will admit when they make an error of some type. , Some will admit when they stated something incorrectly, even if unintentionally. Some will admit when they misinterpreted what someone else said or posted. Some will not admit to making mistakes. Some will never admit that their interpretation of what was said or posted was wrong.

    It is the interwebz after all.

    The reason I posted that is because one of the many whaaaambulance cries of late has been about certain powersets needing to be purchased (whether it's through the free PP's we get with the sub, PP's you pay cash for, or whatever). The false argument many of them have been trying to use is that "we always got all of the powersets for free" when clearly we didn't (individual purchases of CoH and CoV before they fully merged them, purchase of GR, powers in the Super Boosters, etc.).

    I see from your clarification that this wasn't your intent. My point is still valid.

    I know how to use a forum, but thanks for the sarcasm at any rate.
    The Search features on this forum work very well indeed. Much better than the Search features on the old UBB forums we used to have.

    I don't know Smash_Zone's posting history well enough to comment on whether or not they were being sarcastic and I'm not interested enough to go through their previous posts to generate an opinion about them.

    I've found years old posts relatively quickly using the Search features here that I'd likely never have found on the old forums or it would have taken much much longer.

    PRO-TIP: Hover your cursor over those links and look at the address they are pointing to. It shows how Smash-Zone entered the search criteria. For example, Free-form +Power as the keywords. The + or - before words gives better search results.

    Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

    You definitely weren't the only one.
  21. Open it as an Account issue, since this is what it is. If you got an email with the previous /petition, re-open it and ask that it be escalated to a Senior Account Representative since the person that initially responded seems not to understand the problems.
  22. Keeping != Access. If you go Premium and don't have enough Paragon Rewards, you lose access to MM's and Controllers. You still have them, but you can't access them until you've unlocked that access. The only way to unlock access to Incarnate powers is to subscribe. The powers are still there, you just don't have access to them.

    Currently, less than 100% of all powersets are available at no extra cost. Demon Summoning, Dual Pistols, Kinetic Melee and Electric Control require a valid Going Rogue code applied to the account. If you haven't purchased Going Rogue and applied the code to your account, you don't get 100% of all powersets. They cost extra.
  24. I can't duplicate the problem you are describing.

    Are you running in Full Screen or Windowed Mode?

    If you are running in Windowed Mode, is the window maximized? (Center button in upper right corner looks like two windows, one on top of the other. If it's a single button it is not maximized and you may be clicking outside of the CoH window.)
