Not too sure do we even know if it was sent to someone on Primal? I'll admit to just giving a cursory glance, but couldn't it also be potentially a leak to someone in the Resistance?

Although, it would be a neat, tied benefit.

Unlock this Backpack, get +10 salvage storage.
Add a vanguard backpack costume option to the vanguard sack, etc.

Would be kind of neat imo.

Personally, I think people just forget that 'dead zones' are the cost of any game that has progressive content. Especially true when you start introducing new content. You can rebalance the server load usually, resulting in the 'old dead zones' not taking as much resources any more, but really, it's not that big of a deal.

To be fair, y'know, that's something they can share. I mean, wasn't Positron an energy form for some period of time? Or was that just the not-quite-canon comic?

Strange, personally, I'm seeing most MMO forums getting more negative.

I blame them all having gone to the americans.

Ok, different issue then what was thought.

What was your old video card? And, RealTek HD, so onboard sound? What motherboard is it?

I believe oil-based would have similar issues as a water-based powerset.

For some reason now, I have the desire to see the Praetorian version of Captain Dynamic and The Great Face.

More specifically, depends a lot on the age of the card. However, that card specifically has an hdmi plug, so it's not using DVI->HDMI. ANd it's a 400 series with an hdmi port, so it should pass audio. The problem is, you gotta route audio from the sound card [if it's onboard or a stand-alone] to the video card.

You'd have to look at your card manual to determine where the audio connection is [to be honest, I can't tell by looking at the stock photos of the board]. And also your sound card manual to determine where that connection would be on the board, I believe, it's normally the spdif connector, but I'm not positive.

Thank you, saved me quite a bit of effort when it hit me again today. I'm going to pretty much wash my hands of it. I'm not really willing to test my other theory of ISP packet shaping/QoS failing isp-side. I hope it gets fixed though, regardless.

I dunno, I have a suspicion it may be their flash-headers, but I'm too slack to check the site with lynx... Hmm, although, I guess I prolly should add that to my list of checks if it occurs again.

When I have the problem, all the computers that share my internet access can't access. Even my Ubuntu box.

However, my phone readily gets in.

May be packet-shaping fail on a provider side, but I don't really have much desire to call my neighbors and ask if they can get on the boards . I may try it in the future, but. Blahe.


Not just CityOfHeroes for me, all Plaync sites go kaputzen. So I can't even access my account information.


Here's hoping it got fixed . It hasn't logged me out surprisingly enough.

Yes...

And I'd thank you not to bring it up! *can't level up Kheldians past level 41*

It's about as easy as staying alive as everyone runs from mob to mob.

At least for me.

Oh wait.

Ya, I was the same way on my MM until I found a nice way to macro Insp -> Pets, now I just autofeed my Big Bot reds and accuracies as they drop, and go from there.

Populations, as a whole, have congregated to the Busiest High Level areas. RWZ and RI typically.

This already occurs with the Supergroup teleporter actually. And there is a resolution there as well.

Off hand, Jack's Uber Scrapper Fu and the obfuscation of Animation's impact on power balance come to mind.

[ add ]
And in general, I think it's important not to dismiss something because it is known to be true. Especially if it persists. But, significant time may not really be necessary. Accuracy nerfs come to mind here greatly. Just run a unit-test after each build to verify that nothing is happening with Accuracy. There are potential timeframes when the dev staff is wrong. And confirmation bias can be a pain, especially if it's a case of obfuscated math in the first place .

Or possibly a solution similar to WoW's current method. Threads for the new top tier, shards for the old.

Convert all the existing threads to shards, and change the 'old' recipes to use shards, and move on.

Not really too likely with how the progression is setup currently though, but it's a thought.

Which is a fairly sound point. I'd only suggest being aware that there is different intent at play. You're a bit less likely to be going on a respec trial trying to earn a respec token if your build currently is sox roxing.

There is a comparable statement that you'll prolly rarely want/need to go on BAF/Lam once you have purpled out those new abilities.

The new abilities are crutches that end up covering other problems, imo. The 'big problem' being communication and situational awareness. Not much can really be done about those two beyond players 'improving themselves'. Kinda harsh, but sad. The other aspect the incarnate abilities crutch over though, is the inbalance amongst powers [when considering the content]. I personally feel that much like pvp serves as a microscope to highlight existing balance problems, raiding should do the same. At the very least, it should tighten the cloud of relative balance in those raids.

Unlike other MMOs with raiding content, there aren't a whole lot of options for raiding encounters, so 'balance over a variety of encounters' doesn't have as much validity. Although it's also a potential solution to other broader balance issues. However in general, it's important that the raids are designed in a way where you 'bring the player' not the class (although that doesn't mean that roles shouldn't be important either .
