There is nobody in the accounting office on weekends. The only support staff that is available is Game Moderators. They can move your character if you get stuck, and complete in-game missions. Beyond that, you'll have to wait for somebody to actually get into work on Monday.

It seems that Triumph Server suffered a severe lack of Ice Cweam Sundae. Recommend try reviving with 3 cases of Pie and we'll see if the Cancer goes into remission.

Here's a tip: Stop playing your controller like a defender.

Start playing your controller like a controller.

If all you do on your controller is buff / debuff, you aren't going to have a different experience than playing a defender. A Controllers primary is, get this, CONTROL. Outside of Ice Blast and the Dark power sets, no defender set is going to allow you to mez the living daylights out of mobs.

Once you grasp what it is that controllers are for, and what they do, you won't be asking why teams want controllers.

Ahoy there matey's, I be off to search for buried Catnip!

ElectroHawk: quick response: Hybrid Crossfire and Hybrid SLI

Both Nvidia and AMD have solutions where their main graphics cards can leverage a lesser processor for increase power. While there aren't a lot of SLI / Crossfire systems as we think of them, there is a potentially large market for Hybrid setups.

This actually will be an an even big deal with stuff like AMD Fusion, where the processor will have a graphics chip on die. I know AMD has talked about 2x2 processor and 4x2 processor configurations, where two of the cores are RadeonHD GPUs, and the other 2 or 4 cores are Bulldozer cores.

Personally, I think a bigger focus should be on stuff like OpenCL, which can leverage a GPU core as a processing core. Lets say City Of Heroes swapped out it's existing physics engine for, say OpenCL through Bullet. If you had both an add-in GPU, and an integrated GPU, you could assign the integrated GPU to handle physics calculations, thus freeing up the central processor. This could be really useful right now for many users who might have both an add-in card and an integrated GPU. It would also be useful for CPU+GPU designs that Intel is already shipping, as well as AMD's forthcoming Fusion designs.

My opinion is that there's a large existing market that can leverage hardware-accelerated physics through OpenCL right now, and that market will simply continue to grow. Could I prove it enough to convince the developers they should act on this? Probably not.
