  1. Mai Hime is a shounen style show with a focus on the mostly female cast, the males are tag a longs or secondaries. It's pretty good too.

    EDIT: Also, although she looks much older, the main character in Airmaster is incredible. That show is definitely shounen, gives many modern day "tournament" style shows a run for their money.
  2. Just downloaded and installed the new drivers, but still no luck. Lowest and Low Shaders don't have the issue (because there isn't lighting on the windows,) Medium causes this but goes away as soon as I crank it up to High.

    Guess I'll have to learn to deal with this, eh?
  3. Same exact problem, but I'm on a laptop with ATI graphics. (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series.) This problem exists for me on the Medium Shader settings, but goes away if I bump it up to High. This does result in a significant FPS hit, but at least I'm not looking at the weird windows, lava trails and of course, the Dust Rifle's weird glow.

    My driver version is 8.872.0.0, which I assume is up to date because the game doesn't inform me I have outdated drivers and the date listed is 7/7/2011.

    Is a driver rollback something I should also look into? If so, what should I look at using? I don't necessarily mind running the High shader setting, but the FPS hit is *harsh* in First Ward.

    Also: @Coolio

    For me, I am on a 64 bit operating system but do not have either FSAA or Ambient Occulision set.

    Awesome nod to the blooper reel, I love it.

    Yes, this is also something I'm eager to find out.

    Took the words right out of my mouth. This is amazing. Knocked it right out of the park. Well done, devs. This is perfect.

    That's funny you mention it... I've always seen that character as Ms. Liberty, despite the clear differences between the login screen and her in game appearance. Must be the hair and mask.
  8. Thanks for the tip, Z-Man, but the refresh button wasn't working earlier.. I found myself having to refresh the entire page. I still couldn't get a decent captcha, in Firefox or IE. I eventually gave up and searched for a work around.. thankfully, one exists.

    If anyone was having the same problem I was, downloading the Steam client and creating an account from there works without needing a captcha.

    Also, one you purchase the game via the client, click on "Game Details" and to the right, you should see a CD Key link for your serial code. Second account just become a bit more premium
  9. I'd love to buy this for my second account, but Steam's captcha system is ridiculous if not borderline impossible. A bunch of dashes and ink blots.
  10. I thought it was odd, not seeing such a slash command on the forums. Maybe I'll just settle for a rotating bind. (Power + Cc for the 1st press, 2nd press calls 1st CC.)

    Thanks!
  11. Hi. I currently have a macro set up for one of my characters to switch into a copy of his battle outfit upon using Instant Healing, except this copy has an aura on meant to represent the drastic change in healing. This is almost perfect... and I was hoping there was a way to macro in costume change again when Instant Healing fades. That way, I'm not counting down the minute thirty and then re-applying his first costume.

    I asked around my g-channels, and several people have known others that have done this. One for sure mentioned knowing someone that used a similar setup with Unstoppable, though they thought it might rely on an end/health crash in order to work.

    Can I use this with Instant Healing? How would I go about macroing this? I've searched the Paragon Wiki's article on slash commands, macro's and binds but with no luck.

    Thanks in advance!
  12. I believe it was said somewhere those attending the con in July might see the first videos of I21. So there's your answer.
  13. Revenue will increase (if we can compare it to nearly all other F2P transitions) and there will be a VIP only server to keep us separate from the types that flood these sorts of games.

    Yeah, total DOOM.

    Excellent work as usual! I enjoy looking through and seeing what you can create with the costumes, poses/emotes and various locales. Always impressive!
  15. My mind immediately went to Kid Goku/Sun Wokung/The Monkey King when I saw that screen shot as well. If anything, this might lead to more Dragonball copyright violations and less Dragonball Z violations. :P

    Here, the Victorian era never ended. Nemesis came to power before the rise of the Metas, and conquered the world. The only force left standing in his iron-clad way are the Paladins of Justice;

    Herald
    Neon
    Relay
    The Puggilist
    Fortress
    Brother Psion
    Gorgon
    Lady Arcana

    The Armies of Nemesis Rex are not to be trifled with, however. Human soldiers are backed up by humanoid automatons, armed with rifle and blade, and capable of cutting a swathe through any who stand against them.

    Welcome...to Dimension Victoria XIII

    ((V13 is in my AE arc, Crown of Iron, Heart of Steel Part 1, if anyone is interested Author @TechbotALPHA))
    Perfect timing, especially with the Steampunk pack drawing near. I'm going to give your arc a play through for sure!
  17. No one's mentioned the new job listings at Paragon Studio's website. If we were in danger of maintenance mode or shut down DOOOM... I doubt they would be hiring new people.
  18. Instant buy. These new trailers are amazing as well. Loved the feel of this one. Absolutely epic.
  19. It's almost been a year since I plugged my favorite little RP group, so I suppose this is as good a time as any. Titan Industries is still my home when it comes to City of Heroes, more friendly and fun than any other group I've joined over the last 7 years. Also, the group leaders launched a blueside version recently... so practically anyone can participate.

    So come on. Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls (With Titan Industries!)
  20. The Resistance Crusader arcs do a pretty good job of that. Another example would a rival MMO company's take on villainous content. From setting KO'ed cops on fire, stealing souls to power something evil, or mutating college kids into parasitic creatures... that's all dastardly stuff that made me feel really incredibly comic booky evil.
  21. Private Punishment: "I knew he wouldn't show. A Trained Monkey was just mocking me. Again."

    Awesome.

    Somewhat in the same boat, played the heck out of Exteel but never touched Dungeon Runner. I just assumed it funded itself through cash items ala Exteel.

    Guild Wars would be Buy to Play, which is neither Freemium nor Free to Play. But nice try.

    Those worried about conversion to a Freemium model shouldn't worry too much. NCSoft has shut down both F2P games I know about (Exteel and Dungeon Runner.) Also, Tabula Rasa wasn't given the freemium option, even when those two games were still in service. So, your wishes would be granted. It's either the game is alive or it's dead.

    Personally, I'd be for a freemium model. I wouldn't use the other freemium super hero game's model, as I can't imagine most people like being that limited. I'd referance another company that has recently went freemium with two of it's high fantasy games, but I can't directly talk about them due to zee rules. So, if you can't catch the gist, sorry. But, those two conversions went over flawlessly. Yeah, you're bound to get trolls and idiots, but it's not like our game is completely devoid of them now because we have a subscription.
