    I hate the AH UI

    1. No. If only for your chat windows and interaction with other players.
    2. meh
    3. I actually enjoy the auto complete function most of the time when it works, and for the times when I don't I can just disable it. BUT the diferrence in names between recipes and crafted IOs drives me nuts. Makes searching a drag and sometimes it even makes some things not show up at all. I really, REALLY wish they would fix that. It looks sloppy if nothing else.

    This cannot be stressed enough.
  3. CoT spectral lieutentants at lower levels. Especially if there's a bunch of them.

    Great example! The old hairstyles need their textures updated to at least the quality of the newer ones!

    You're surprised to find teenagers playing a pc game?

    Anyway, my 13 yo brother plays. And my now 20 yo brother has been playing since he was a teenager as well.
  6. Option 1 definitely.

    The new gladiator shoulder piece looks way better than the old piece.

    Those head wings a few posts back are a good example of why old stuff needs updating/replacing. I have a character that uses a good few parts of the Valkyrie set, but she also wants the wings + headband. The problem is that the headband is only available with the old low texture quality wings and not the much better looking ones from the valkyrie set. So now I have to choose between ugly wings that clash with the rest of the outfit or no headband but nice looking wings, neither looks exactly right for the outfit I envision.

    I wonder if it's only people going from Villain to full Hero they count, or if they also count the Rogues. Most people I know only have 1 or 2, if any at all, villains that went permanently to blue side. But a whole slew of them that went Rogue. Vigilantes are a lot less comon afaik.

To hold agro on that whole group on my own and not die in 2 more seconds I need to be healed by at least one person. If it's a +2 or +3 mission, the alpha will kill me and healing probably wont help unless it's timed perfectly. I'd need appropriate buffs to handle that situation smoothly.

    I never said healing was required in every group. I just used a particular example. A team with multiple tanks and good controls that work together can do fine without a healer. A team with a single tank and no control is going to need appropriate buffs or awesome heals though.
    Psst, inspirations.

    No. More slots would make people actually more powerfull. That is not the intention of this change. As it is done now nobody gets more powerfull (much) It just makes the -20 game faster and less boring.

    How does this change in any way affect /EA different or more than other brute secondareis? It's not as if Brutes went without stamina before ...

    You can math the crap out of it.....and come to the conclusion that its adequate or even slightly better.....but If Im still killing things while Km dude is going all animatrix then its a subpar set.
    So, you not liking the animations makes it a sub par set...

    I don't give a crap about critcism, I even agree with the general opinion that €6 for this is to much. The way over the top reactions from people, who somehow manage to get personally insulted by this, with all sorts of nonsensical justifications just grates on my nerves.

    You know what makes it even worse? For those of you who have played Guild Wars and watched the trailer...notice something a little similar?

    I said it before and I will say it again. The Devs seem to be focused on making us pay for everything they can possibly put a price tag on.

    Definately a pass for me as well.
    ... Overreacting a bit here? It's not as if they kicked your puppy or something.

    It feels dirty that the devs give us absolutely horrible dance emotes for years, never showing any interest in making at least something that people actually do while dancing, then decide "Oh hey, want to upgrade from those awful dance emotes? Especially dance6? And ya know those things you've been asking for for years? We're gonna make you pay extra for it."

    Just feels wrong.
    Meh, as long as they don't start putting missions and powersets into 'boosters' I'm fine with it.

    Yes, cause plinking away at them one at a time from around a corner is not only FUN, it's SUPER. And it works great, that is until they rush and wipe you anyway, just for kicks.

    I'm sorry, but pulling isn't a panacea for poor design.
    Hey you're the one complaining it's to hard, not me. I haven't had a problem yet. Not on my solo stalker, not on my solo dom, not on my blaster/corr duo.

    I still say that there's nothing more diffucult than Vahzilok in Praetoria.

    Which you can't get too before lvl 25. Praetorian missions aren't there at all either. Missing a contact in a line of arcs annoys me. Or the second arc of a contact.

    Ambushes - FFS

    I like the ambushes, it gives a sense of urgency and excitement.

    Plowing through static after static mob gets old a lot faster.

    I, too, enjoy a challenge, and appreciate a huge amount of what went into Praetoria. But...

    True story (since we seem to be into this):

    3-person team, all 4-5 year vets. Clockwork mish. Pretty much instakilled by the stacked spawn of Builders and Menders with their uber AOEs- you know, the ones that KEEP DAMAGING YOU WHEN YOU RESPAWN in the hospital, because dying and porting doesn't reset the counter? Plus the -regen from the minions.

    Naturally, it was our fault for having mostly lethal/smashing damage, and 2 of us are WP. We should have 'practiced' and rolled other characters.
    Or you could've just shrugged it off and tried something else ... like pulling.
  21. I always do it manually.
    download driver -> Uninstall driver manually-> reboot -> install driver -> reboot.

    It always asks for a reboot after uninstalling/installing.

    Which should be fixed by installing the new 10.8 catalyst drivers.
