    I do not care what armor you have, you get hit with this, your done.
    And since they have their faces exposed. Imagine getting hit in the jaw by one of these guns.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNW3E...eature=related

    The my point is, get the IDF against a unified military from around the world, with strong weapons to back them up,you will alot of Praetorian's running for cover or home to Tyrant crying like little girls.
    Problem with that is Preatoria on average has far superior tech then us. I mean yeah we have some pretty crazy tech but out technology only comes to equal Preatoria tech in a few fields such as ground troop weapons and mechanized units. Stuff like our real world military stuff such as tanks/planes/warships is far outclassed(like the badge that says they have planes that accelerate to mach 2 before leaving the ground). Then there are all the non-military stuff that supports the military which we don't even come close for most of it, for example their power sources.

    I went to HP's website and found the manual here:

    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02100456.pdf

    and browsed through it and in the section on "Using the Keyboard" starting on page 26, it states:

    "NOTE: The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup Utility. If this feature is disabled in Setup Utility, you must press fn and an action key to activate the assigned function. Refer to the "Setup Utility (BIOS)" chapter."

    So, it looks like you can change this behavior in the BIOS setting of your laptop by reading the fine manual from HP.

    (This is NOT a forum where official technical/QA support is available.)
    thanks will try this tomorrow when its not so late and yeah currently pushing f1,f2 etc and pushing fn+f1,fn+f2 etc do different things but not what I what and the alt+fn+f1 works but a bit much for in-game

    Will answer later.



    Thanks Tex. Hope that helps.
  7. I would be interested in one this Friday through Monday.
  8. Should i just give up because i really don't see me ever getting to use a better keyboard if the response I get no matter where I look or who I ask is it should just be plug and play.


    I also know that I did not say people had already told me that here. I have said it elsewhere and it really drives me nuts when I tell someone I have tried one thing over and over and it refuses to work and their only response is well that should work.

    As for getting the other keyboard to work.. if it detected it and installed drivers, it seems it should be working. You can have more than one active mouse or keyboard at a time. It's not a matter of choosing one over the other.
    Mouse works fine and keyboard evens has its lights turn on but does nothing. Keyboard is definitely not broken works on the desktop and 2 other laptops in the house.

    I have and fn button but only thing I can seem to do with it is hold it down and press the F keys to make them do other stuff I don't want them to.
  10. Ok I have a new HP laptop and all the f keys have some special functions so I can not use them in-game. I have tried every search I can think of in the control panel and can't find anyway to disable it.

    So my next thing was to try plugging in my wireless logitech keyboard with a USB and it will not work and the only thing I can find on the laptop to change keyboards has nothing at all to switching to an external keyboard.

    The logitech shows up in the device manager, the computer says it is detecting it and the first time I plugged it in that it successfully installed the drivers.


    I would love to use the other keyboard because then I have a number pad but the special F keys are driving me nuts.

    I don't care how much you can survive, if you can't hold aggro, you're not a tank.

    First to fight.
    First to fall.
    Never fall. (or, in my case, never fall without Soul Transfer being recharged)
    Unless of course some problem leads to the mobs being way over the arrgo cap.

    You could arrgo that a good tank will keep that from happening though.
  12. Sorry that I was unclear but I said that the soft cap wasn't a problem.(did forgot the steadfast thing thanks) Maybe you were just trying to tell me the way I could soft cap using the least slots? but then you only suggested one set.

    I do not know why the dots were black, I had had then green when I exported it even.


    "Do not enhance Phalanx Fighting's defense bonus. Grant Cover's defense bonus is also not worth enhancing. "

    I do plan on moving that 2nd slot off GC and I put defense in Phalanx because there is nothing else to and it comes with a slot.
  13. Ok this is my current build.

    I know it has problems like extra slots in stamina but haven't got around to using a free respec before all 3 and only want to do it once.

    The 45 IOs are still there because getting 50s just to replace would be of little worth.

    Once I respec, I plan one getting One with the Shield. Would like Fire Breath and another ST attack.

    Since I need few set bonuses to Soft cap would like to get as much recharge as I can.

    If I dropped CP to get stuff in Pyre mastery could I maintain my end with right sets? Would Pyre be that useful in damage? Would I be able to get a full chain with Combustion/FSC/SC that I wouldn't even use it?

    Main reason I would like to get pyre is to help fill attack chain, could FB fill that gap better?

    This is my farming toon but I don't farm often so would like to be able to do both. Would doing a farm and team build have much benefit to either?

  14. I am pacific time also just post in EST, will try to do one tomorrow at either 1 pm PST or 5pm and if people don't have enough vg merits we will do a rikti raid first.
  15. there is a chance I won't be there so wasn't going to post, will probably bring my elec/nin stalker
  16. I started a mothership Raid around 7:00pm EST and after manged to pick up 7 people to go to PI. We started with a full team(4 HVAS) and a solo Stone tank and lost 1 person about 20 minutes in and stayed at 7 till we slowly fell apart an hour later. We normally had 3 monsters at a time and with just one debuffer were taking down 3 in about 4-5 minutes. I had 2 people in my sg with us and between the 3 of us we managed 21 EoEs.
  17. With everyone wanting Shards and Hamidon being good to get shards wanted to do something different to help with both.

    So Presenting:
    Rikti/Monster Stomping Day


    Day: well since I am leaving till the 2nd on the 16th it will be everyday I can up till then and then Saturdays or Sundays starting in January.(unless someone else can lead it x-mas)

    Time: looking to start them between 6 and 8 EST but 2 hours before or after could work.

    Where: Rikti War Zone and Peregrine Island

    We will start with a Mothership Raid and whoever can use 250 VG merits from Raid to get a HVAS that we then take to PI to help stomp Monsters for EoEs. This might lead to doing Hami but for now just want a fun way to get shards and help make Hami easier for more shards.


    For Raid looking to just get 1 or 2 teams we can form a team around. For monsters those team/s should be enough and Pugs can come if they bring a Heavy.





    Will be able to start first one tomorrow(12/15) 1pm or 5pm PST. Please post times you can do this.

    Blue Bullet2.2
    Takeo
    Hatake Kasumi
    Burning Rubber
    Mind Tap-
    KO Fury

    2:34:xx with 10 defeats

    That is pretty good since we only had Cosmic for 1/5 of it and absolutely no heals after that. If he could have stayed think we could have avoid all the deaths before the final mission and the ambushes. But with KO dcing a ton during that last mish we probably would have failed cause no one else had taunt not his fault he actually got back in really fast.


    Edit: want to know how well you guys did.
  20. Was fun sorry I couldn't stay longer hope more come and should have got a pic of that new mish and the stairs.
  21. Ugh late on posting for it again. will bring BlueBullet2.2 again.

    Friend is vig this time so if he is coming we won't be late again. I will lead a 2nd team for whoever wants to do it if........1: my friend comes and if he doesn't come if 2: I don't get on Mr.Es team. So 90% chance I will lead a 2nd team.

    i am Kat/regen and he is an emp. he has the rech/heal alpha and I have the first recharge and only need 3 more shards for rech/heal so will most likely have by tonight.
  22. I think this is an attempt to cause stupid by posting something so stupid that the only way to attempt to understand without killing yourself is to become stupid.


    This thread should just be renamed "Awesome ways to express disbelief at stupid posts" or something shorter.

    if we had real world Super Jumping the cities would be littered with impact craters. Real world Super Speed there would be person shaped dents everywhere and pedestrian collisions at up to 140MPH head on. Flying would be the only one that would be safe and avoid collateral damage. Teleport will normally be as safe as Flying but unlike if someone collides flying and gets bruised up, two people teleporting into the same place in space will be at best missing a good chunk of their body and worst looking at extremely painful and certain death.


    Med-porters would be awesome. If tells didn't become texts then we can amuse they would be somehow mental and that would be epic.

    I thought the whole marriage thing wasn't about in-game stuff or did I totally not read anything about that correctly? like they just wrote it in game to fit with what they did in real life sort of thingy? I mean not of having an in-game explanation would be weird but it would be very close to bottom of story problems for me.
  25. Every zone will be free for all PvP(but can still make teams) and all game Avs/heroes/EBs will come out to buy stuff and trample people. Statesman will probably leave a path of destruction on his way to Cape and Face Plates Galore but don't think of taking him out cause he looks like he is alone will probably have a large group of supers following in his wake buffing him so they can get to deals faster. Hopefully Winter Lord doesn't show up to get early x-mas stuff or everything within a half mile of where he is will be a massive rolling battle with Snow monsters.

    Basically if you want anything show up with 1-3 full teams depending on how popular the store is and get in fast then blast a hole in the roof and fly out just in case there are any really powerful guys going for the front door.

    If you don't have time for any hosp visits you better avoid malls at all costs cause they are likely to attract whole factions, think Hollows cave maps packed tight with trolls can be hard? Just think of that entire map of trolls packed in one store.

    Hopefully GW doesn't realize that arcane groups like CoT are very likely to go after the same stuff as her or she might decide to make a deal with one of them, then we will end up with GW so infused with magic she will perma-hold everything that comes within 100yds of her.
