  1. It's definitely not a Boomtown revamp. That's not Boomtown on the cover.

    Cross server teaming would be nice, and fantastic if it can be done, but it's not necessary to implement a auto-teaming function.

    You keep it til you switch. Reaffirming doesn't affect it.
  3. The recent buffs to flight speed was at the base, not the cap.

    It is highly unlikely that the cap will ever increase. So, if you want to argue that, go to Suggestions and add it to the pile of things that will never happen.

    The Fly base was accidentally increased 50% rather than 33%. It will be fixed eventually. For now, unenhance Fly puts you over the cap. When it gets fixed, it will put you slightly under the cap and one enhancement in the base slot will put you back over.
  4. K, now you've given it away.

    I know exactly what the announcement will be.


    Thanks!

    Then you don't have GR.

    Trials have GR and when they update, they're ushered to the GR version.

    But if they apply a pre-GR edition, then they don't get GR.

    Except that we know that there were World Wars and the Korean war and that Rome and Tokyo were the same cities in Praetoria that they are in Prime.

    All this presumes same world geographies.

    The reactors of Neutropolis were once the main source of power for the Eastern US, we learn. So, scratch anything west of the Mississippi.
  8. Sometime late Friday night the wall of Earl will go directly over the islands. It should hopefully have transitioned from a Category 3 to a Category 2 Hurricane by then.

  9. If it's not visible in screen shots... it might be the monitor.

    Try another monitor if you can.

    I had a Batman and Robin poster on the wall of my bedroom once...

    ... in 1966.

    About time.

    It used to be you were indeed locked into that Patron until you respecked. Has that changed now?

    Yes, vsync is on.

    If I find an area that repeatedly gives me this issue (the wood looking 70s office buildings seem to do it most), then switch my texture settings (high->medium, etc.) the line will disappear - but only for that area, it will pop up in a minute or two somewhere else.

    This line is not visible on screenshots.

    XP/2GB Ram/ATI 5770 1GB/Core2 2.13x2

    Thoughts?
    Well.... try turning Vsync off.
  15. They're going to reboot the Kheldian story line.

    Now, they'll be kittens who steal yarn.

    Luong is the last name of one of the RL programmers.

    Wandered by him tonight around /loc 2416.2 96.0 7182.9 in Talos Island. He has a purple ring at his feet. He has text for when you click him but nothing more.

    Maybe related to Albert Maurer?

    The name sounds like and the toon looks like the lead programmer, Matt Stults (far right next to BAB). And there is a programmer, Andy Maurer who looks nothing like Albert.

    More than likely they're NPC leaks from future issues.

    Wonder if it counts if you respec or use a second build and hit 20 that way.
  19. Did you uninstall the old drivers before installing the new? Several have reported the 10.8 not working well if the old isn't uninstalled first.

    Powers contacts may or may not work with Resistance, depending on the contact. Hetzfeld will, Bobcat won't. I'm assuming Neuron won't either.
