Just an additional thought: while i disagree with most of O_I's 'reasoning', i think that it's not unreasonable to increase the number of freespecs available, and i expect to see an upgrade/revamp of the respect system in the next several issues to make it more friendly to IO users. -
and there went the last bit of mitigation in /fire manipulation. I'm not really sure it this is a good thing.

I think that warning is there because of a while back there was an issue were a bunch of players were granted several months if not years of vet rewards early. They changed something in the backend system which then caused that iirc. It was decided that support wasn't going to bother with fixing that and people got to keep their vet rewards.
But by all accounts problems like yours still are being fixed. -
If you somehow manage to burn through all the free and earnable ones we get, you can just buy all the respecs you want you know. Either with inf or real money. I'm not seeing the problem.

I have over 30 characters, only 1 has a second build. My main dark/dark corr has a build for TF's (team oriented) and one for soloing.
With new characters, I use the first build to level to 20 without using the fitness pool. At 20 I swap to the second build and grab stamina. That's the main use I get out the system. -
To me the animations make it actually feel faster, instead of slower. I don't have the last 3 attacks yet though.

1. It can call people
2. It can send text messages.
3. It has no other unnecessary functions that I pay for but never use.
I'm not against smartphones or anything, but I just really can't see me needing one. I'd rather spend the extra cash on my next pc upgrade. >.> -
A force powerset without a 'throw lightsaber' power fails by default.

First make sure your windows is up to date. You don't have service pack 2 yet. You really should make sure windows auto update is on if you aren't going to update manually yourself.
Your sound drivers are old too, but I doubt that's the problem. Updating can't hurt though. -

I've seen maybe, 3 in game with no vet badges and 3 on the boards asking questions...
I was really, really hoping GR would give us a large boost in popularity.
I'm still loving it all the same, just wish they'd spent something on advertising.
There's advertising in comics, on the ATI driver page, various webpages, a deal with Razor, steam, ... what more do you want?
There's loads of returning players and really more than 3 new players. The average amount of players online on the Union server easily tripled overnight with the release of GR. -
Yea, that was a fun mission. I soloed it on my stalker.

Quote:I'd rather have all those other options than FSAA really.Originally Posted by Captain Fabulous
Draw distance is what's killing you. I have mine set at 75%. Make sure water is off or on low and that bloom, dof, desaturation, and ambient occlusion are all off. You should then be able to turn FSAA to 4x and get decent framerates.
Draw distance below 100% is not acceptable to me, I don't like things popping up when I'm right next to them, (before Ultra Mode I had it at 200%) and all the other effects don't seem to affect the FSAA performance on my machine.
It's been a couple of driver versions since I tried though, I might tinker with it some more, see if it makes a difference. -
Quote:Your graphics drivers are most definitly not up to date. You should try searching for them on the Intel website.Originally Posted by heathernicole526
I appreciate you guys getting back to me, but I tried turning those options down/off and that didn't really help, I searched for updates for my drivers and everything is supposedly up to date, and when I decided to uninstall/reinstall everything, it did load, and I was in the city and able to move around, but the graphics and performance were so crappy!!! It's like block-detail, and the lag is so bad that by the time I hit a button, whatever commands I hit a minute before are just catching up! It looks like crap!!!
I'm so disappointed, and I guess it is just my computer... I'm thinking of just getting my money back for this game (if i can...)
You have an integrated Intel graphics chip, which really isn't suited for gaming, so you'll not be able to run any of the Ultra Mode settings, but it should be able to run the game once the drivers are up to date.
Also, have you tried running the game in safe mod? (check the little box on the updater/launcher)
Edit: Go here http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx?lang=eng and click the 'run driver update untility'. If that fails, you can search for it manually. -
Honestly, they should just stop whining.
Bots are a great set, if you enjoy it, don't let some whiners put you of from it. With bubbles though, later on especially, you might want to watch a bit what you do with your knockback bubbles. Just running off in the middle of a spawn with them up will probably get you yelled at some more.

I'm liking the speed at which these patches are being crancked out. Keep it up.

Quote:Yea, I have a 4870x2. I run all UM settings at max except shadows, which are medium, and 130% draw distance and have a good framerate (+-20fps in GV center, Aion City, Imperial City,... 30-40fps just about everywhere else). But I can't turn on FSAA at all without diving towards +-10fps at the lowest setting, no matter what other gfx options I have turned on/off.Originally Posted by Captain Fabulous
Prior to Ultra Mode the HDR effects (high water, bloom, dof, and desaturation) would completely break FSAA. With Ultra Mode it no longer breaks, but the performance hit is massive, at least for 4-series cards.

Quote:I don't have any numbers to back it up, but my hunch is that a fire/kin corr will outdamage a BA/stone brute, especially at higher levels and against groups of enemies.Originally Posted by ChrisUlrich84
You think the fire/kin setup will do similar damage to battle axe/stone brute?
BA lacks aoe damage and while the tier 9 from stone, Granite armor, makes you near indestructable, it also takes a penalty to damage and speed.
Edit to put in: Of course this is them considered seperatly. With the buffs from kinetics most of those drawbacks are erased. A speed boosted and damage buffed brute is a wonder to behold. For stone armor, kinetics is really the thing you want behind you. -
Quote:Kinetics + brute = winOriginally Posted by ChrisUlrich84
So you think fire/kinetics is a good match when mostly pairing with a battle axe/stone brute?
Seriously though. Kinetics is a great pairing with melee classes; it has a nice heal, Speed Boost is awesome and when you get Fulcrum Shift there's no stopping you.
It's especially good with something like ba/stone, which both are very slow and endurance heavy sets. The +recharge, +speed and +recovery from speed boost helps negate all those drawbacks. -
I'm sad I can't put bosses in while soloing.

In adition to what Slauterhause said, your videocard drivers are from 2008. That's ancient. You should get those updated asap. And the soundcard drivers too.

Quote:I'd say Fire/energy or Fire/psi, fire/fire maybe but I personally dislike /fire it lacks mitigation and is harder to keep alive because of it.Originally Posted by ChrisUlrich84
So if it was blaster, what would you think? Definitely fire... still so weird to see that! And energy/electric?
Energy/ is mid level damage (I like it a lot, though the knockback annoys some people) and /elec is probably dead last.
Basicly all blasters do loads of damage, but fire/ more than others. In AoE it's only rivaled by Archery and then only because of the rediculously powerfull tier 9 Rain of Arrows.
I'm not really a blaster player though. Others might feel different. -
Quote:On corruptors it's my favourite, maybe not for top damage but it offers really good mitigation, something fire itself lacks. The -res in Tar patch helps a lot with your dmg output too.Originally Posted by ChrisUlrich84
And you also agree that Dark Miasma is the best compliment to fire for single target DPS?
Kinetics is a good choice. Lots of +dmg and +speed there.
But if it's damage and only damage you want, you're probably better off getting a blaster. -
Quote:Fire's secondary effect is extra damage over time. It really adds up. It trades any and all utility for more damage.Originally Posted by ChrisUlrich84
Fire? Really? Even though almost everything is moderate? I never would have guessed! Assault Rifle looks way damaging... I would have figured that!

Fire blast. It's damage king both single target and AoE. Pair with Dark Miasma for extra awesome.
