I dunno, the bubbles feel pretty comparable to Invisible Woman's fields.

They could engage Marauder's minion swarm before everyone is ready and lead Marauder out of the room.

That incident is one that happened recently in a trial I was on [and quite possibly one that Adeon was, since we're both on Virtue I believe]. It sucks. It really really freaking sucks. I took the time after the event to explain to the new player how that part worked personally. However, several people were pissed off at the player for that incident.

Personally, I saw it as an accident, and didn't think the person deserved the hate levied against them.

Snow Globe gave another example [they get a bulk of the temps and don't realize how to use them]. However, with Snow Globe's example, if it got to the point where Marauder wasn't getting pacified, I'd go off and start clearing crates on my own. Hopefully getting a few others to help me, but it's simply another a fail mistake that's just slightly more recoverable.

I think it's more a case of them wanting to limit the appearance of 'buying' power. With the 'big' power items still being obtained through game means.

However, it's possible to buy some gear to help 'jump start' your character, especially in the lower levels.

I've seen accidents happen. It's an ugly mess. I've actually been on a Lam run once where it was mostly first timers and no one really had confidence of how it worked. One guy quit early on when they realized that and felt the need to berate the group over it. It was more amusing when they requeued and selected in-progress and rejoined the fail-league though.

I think it's a two-fold issue. With leaders assuming that it's easy enough to 'follow along' [and hey, in BAF, it mostly is] until they learn the drill, and the new player assuming to just follow the drill as normal for the game unless said elsewise. It's pretty easy to assume it just works.

Lam and Keyes are chaotic. It's easy enough once you know what to do, but they are a bit intimidating before you do. Keyes, I think, may actually be better for new players right now, because it's extremely rare for a Keyes league leader not to spend a few minutes before queuing up explaining how it works.

Of course, frankly, I think it just goes down to being an accident. Better to educate the person so it doesn't happen again than be a jerk about it.

The only place I see it having more 'teeth' with regards to the player run videos in a MMO is in the case of leaks. Which then works as simply another trump charge if they choose to pursue NDA violation charges.

That's cool, something I'd suggest if you can before installing the replacement card from EVGA is to go ahead and clean your drivers out. Just to be safe.

Eep, I made a signature.

But more on topic, I think every vanity SG needs a Jeeves-alt.

And with Freedom coming it's all the more accessible!

nvlddmkm is part of the nvidia driver package.

Given the broad nature, it's difficult to actually properly isolate that sort of error. The error # that the nvlddmkm is throwing can be helpful though.

That scale with your level. Kinda interested in how that'll work out personally. I'd like if they removed the level component from inventions in general. Would be a mess with regards to influence sinks though.

There have been a few, the most recent one is the Steampunk booster. It will also most likely be the last 'booster', as the game is transitioning to a f2p/freemium model. As such, going forward, you're going to see more individual items for sale.

That is not to say they won't be releasing bundle packs or such, which is quite possible, but in general we get to look forward to more items than necessarily themed packs.

Eh, I think you're misinterpreting the changes. The change for the 1-20 game is to be cover more of those popups and incidentals, and most likely include stuff like "how do I craft inventions", "how do I get to ouroborus and start a flashback" [since Ouro is going level ~14 now], and other aspects of the game that don't really get covered by the tutorial, but new players still need to be educated on.

I guess prolly better to think of it similar to the those tip pop-ups only with some game content to showcase them better.

Marauder has more ambient light in his shots and in generally in a shinier locale?

Regardless, hopefully it can be turned off in options.

Well, I'd also argue it could make it easier to 'work' up to a purple set or such. Or work into changing a set without completely locking down your ability to earn enhancements [sure you can just gleemail it around, but].

Pretty much, voice overs are very expensive for MMOs since they require studio time and scheduling with the talent.

Although, it's very easy to 'cut corners' and not do studio work for the voiceovers, but you'll find many quality issues crop up then.

I just assume it's just repeating the first 13 posts.

I personally like the idea of having it just be timed exclusive.

Don't really need it ending up like BlizzCon.

Fun story just now, wasn't a cutscene bomb, but was just as annoying. After a death, saw half of a team just hanging outside the big door in lambda. Ya only 2/1 left, but half of a team just hanging out while 3-4 people were trying to get the last 2...

Was frustrating.
