Did anyone else notice Mr Teller up on the 2nd floor of the store map? He was at one of the counters but, not targetable.

Concerning the new part 2 of the sig arc, have the devs said anything about how the rewards would work now that there's 2 TFs out there? IE: we could get 2 hero merits a week from the first tf, can we now get 4 by doing both tf's or is it 2 across the board?

I've poked around but, don't see any notes. Has there been any word on how long the downtime will be?

Ah but, we're applying real world construction times here. In a city chocked full of super powered folks, I'd say a total city revamp could be done in a year or less.

Yep, thanks for the heads up, I had resigned myself to waiting til the afternoon to try and patch.

New shots of Cavill as Superman with a better look at the costume. Costumes quite a bit from the norm but, with the upcoming reboot, fitting in well with the "new" mythos. Least his hair looks right in these...not all poofy.

Sorry to those that my tank, Rogue 11, was on an ITF with last night. Power outage took me out for the rest of the night. Didn't want anyone to think I'd just dropped for no reason.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

Did the driver thing and no change. I still get all kinds of graphical weirdness. Now, I can fix it by just sliding a video setting slider back and forth and it resets for the zone I'm in but, I have to redo it each time I zone. Workable but, still a pain in the butt. Something about the recent patched didn't take for me or fudged something for me. Dunno. At this point, I'm gonna try a clean reinstall and hope that works.

But, on the beta server, everything's just fine. It's only on the live server that I have an issue.

I really don't think it's my graphic driver. I tested every other game I have installed on my laptop and they all ran as smooth as ever at highest settings. I didn't experience this until after the latest patch.

edit: And when I log into the beta server, everything's just peachy. It definitely seems to be that live patch that screwed me up.

Another thing to note, if I just toggle the graphics settings from custom to the "custom hidden" setting, it brings everything back to normal until I zone. Then, it repeats the issues again.

Thanks for the link Texas, here goes:

So, I do the update and log in...only to see this:


I'll post my dxdiag at the end of this. I haven't updated anything recently so, I'm running the same setup I have for awhile and has worked just fine up until today. Was there something in the patch that borked up ati cards or am I just looking at the dreaded reinstall?

http://www.4shared.com/document/M4vvRw4F/DxDiag.html

Louisa County, VA here. Was reallllly close to the epicenter and a whole lotta shakin wasa goin' on. Thankfully, nobody was badly hurt from what I've heard but, the schools are closed for 2 weeks. The high school got hit hard.

Yeah, looks pretty good. I'm hoping that broken vault door is a hint that this Superman is more smashy and less blabby. I mean, he did start in "Action" comics not, "Lets talk this over tea" comics. :P

So, I've rolled up a elec/shield scrapper to see what the hulabaloo is all about. He's Praetorian so, I'm up against the usual Praet stuff. So far, I've been soloing him and feel...well, underwhelmed. I'll post my build so far (to lvl 15) for critique below, maybe I'm just missing something. I'm only running DOs right now and I know that things don't really ramp up much till SOs and then IO sets but, I've played other scrappers that rocked socks from the get-go. This one, so far, is leaving me cold. Am I just missing something?
