Texas Justice

When they started doing them, Ghost Falcon was doing the updates and, knowing him, he set it that way since he was likely up at the time anyway and voluntarily logged in from home to do the updates.

When they decided to hand it off to Alpha Wolf, it was likely decided to make it so that it was only done during office hours and not interfere with their personal time.

That's the response you'll get when a .Net application fails to respond, usually due to the computer going into Hibernate or Sleep modes.

Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select Task Manager.

I'd recommend setting the Launcher to not start with Windows and to close when the game launches instead and that way you won't have that problem.

You can follow the steps in Hyperstrike's stickied post here called Guide: How to make the new NCSoft Launcher as unobtrusive as possible.

Sleep mode has always been quirky.

Actually, a 32-bit OS can address up to 4 Gb of RAM, but that includes ALL RAM in the system including system RAM, graphics RAM, PCI Memory Range, ACPI and a few other bits and pieces.

For example, if you have a computer with a 32-bit OS, 4 Gb of system RAM and a video card with 512 Mb of video RAM you'll wind up with a usable portion of RAM that is a bit over 3 Gb.

If you take that same computer with a 32-bit OS, 4 Gb of system RAM and replace the video card with one of the newer cards that has a 2 Gb nVidia 670 video card, well, you have a bit under 2 Gb of usable RAM.

If instead you use a 64-bit OS, you don't run into that limitation until you get to something like 16 Eb (Exabytes) of addressable RAM.

So, to answer the OP's question, make sure you get a 64-bit version of Windows 7. The processor architecture (32-bit or 64-bit processor) has nothing to do with the OS version.

EDIT: Wiki link. An article on the 32-bit vs 64-bit memory limit.

I took BAB with me when Texas Justice ran the arc. As a Blaster, I always look for a beefier companion that has more HP. And it was a bit of a sentimental choice. Plus, us old guys have to stick together.

I didn't have any problems with him wandering off away from me or aggroing any groups. He stayed right with me and stayed alive all the way through the Clamor fight. He took the Alpha's and I only took a few hits in the fight with Clamor.

No.

No. It shouldn't.

Forming a Super Group is a VIP only perk and is considered an incentive to subscribe.

Free and Premium players get quite a bit as it is for free. If they opened up everything that various people want opened up for free to all there would be no point in having a subscription.

This game will always be a subscription based game at the root with the addition of some a la carte purchasable items and a somewhat limited free to play aspect.

EDITED to clarify: My response is based on the current setup where creating an SG, setting up a base and paying base rent are tied to the SG Registrar. If they want to open up being able to see the Top 100 list or move it to something like the Information kiosks (doubtful since they don't seem to want to do anything else with them), I'd not have a problem with doing that. And as Cardiff_Giant also states, I read that as the SG Registrar, not the SG Registry when the OP said "had nothing to say as a free player". Since of course, you can only access the Registry through the Registrar I thought the OP mistyped it.

There are two types of Story Arcs, Blue Book and Green Book.

The Blue Book arcs are major arcs and are denoted by having a blue outline around the book and a blue bookmark.

The Green Book arcs are minor arcs and are denoted by having a green outline around the book and a blue bookmark.

Prior to Issue 17 you could only have 2 active Blue Book arcs. When they raised the active mission limit from 3 to 7 in Issue 17 they also raised the number of active major arcs (Blue Book) from 2 to 5.

Contacts that start a major arc will not give missions if you are at the limit. Contacts that give minor arcs will still give missions as long as you don't have 7 missions already.

I believe the DA arcs are counting as major arcs although I'm not able to verify that right now. I'm basing that on how other DA contacts won't give missions and that it can be cleared up by doing the Personal Story Arcs. They are short informational missions that take little time and fill out some of the back story. It's better to get them out of the way completely so they don't cause the problem in the future.

Apparently Belladonna Vetrano's arc is counted as a major arc (blue book). Also, there is a Personal Story Mission at the end of Belladonna Vetrano's arc as well, so I'd recommend running it to keep it from clogging up the open books.

Remember, any open major arcs (blue book) you had on the other alignment will still count against you as well, even though you can't see them on the current alignment.

I've not had any problems with my Gun Drone following me unless I move out of range of it too fast. Then I get the same behavior as escort pets that don't know where I am. As long as I move a bit slower initially it will stay with me on Oranbega maps, Talon Cave maps, 5th Column cave maps or anything else.

It had been Ghost Falcon that was doing it originally from what I remember, but Alpha Wolf was the one that was doing it when he posted about the time change.

It's always said abandon progress (since the launch of the game as far as I remember).

That was in the game before they added the ability to Abandon Mission.

A few questions to go along with that as well.

Did your character start as a Hero or a Villain? Has it changed alignment? If it changed alignment, did you have any "Open Books" on the previous alignment? If so, those still count against your current totals so you'd need to change alignments again to clear them up.

Are there any other Open Books on any of your Contacts? You don't have to have an active mission from them with an Open Book for it to count against you.

Since Belladonna's arc is a story arc, it would be trying to open a new book. If you are at your limit from other Open Books she won't be able to give you missions. You'll need to complete those books.

As StarGeek mentioned another thread I helped someone with, the Personal Story Missions seem to be counting as books still being open as well. Clearing those Personal Story Missions would likely get her to open her arc to you.

No, this isn't for me.

There has been at least one non-VIP player asking if there are any RP SG's on Justice. And since non-VIP's can't post on the server forums, I thought I'd be nice and ask for them.

So ... any active RP SG's on Justice?

Now's your chance to let the non-VIP players know who you are so they can contact you.

She was a World Designer when I first saw her name mentioned as a Dev.

I know she was listed in the Credits for the release of the game in the Design block with Jack Emmert, Al Rivera, Sean Fish, Michael Lewis, Matt Miller and others.
