This is the first thread I've EVER read from page 1-20. Holy moly I don't know how you forumites do it AND keep a sense of humour.

We're psychotic.

Speak for yourself, Lady. Some of us are only sociopathic.

Nice post.

I think you just gave me the kick I needed to crank up my second account.

I've been pushing myself to spend more time playing with my son, but honestly never even considered CoH/V as a possible time sink for the two of us. (Probably due to CoH/V being the sometimes necessary escape from my son. )

Think I might change my tune on that.

I didn't read this whole thread, but I think Sexy should be an inherent.

[/ QUOTE ]
I believe it is. Its just in an Epic AT we can't get.

[/ QUOTE ]

You get it with claws/sr.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's just a passive power. Far, far lower magnitude than the inherent.

[/ QUOTE ]

But it scales up! The more aggro you pull, the sexier you get.

devs hate soloers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dude.. what are you talking about? This change is HEAVEN for soloers. All you need is one friend to use a character they aren't playing to hold a spot to keep the TF up, then X number of folks to help start and then quit, and you get to solo 4/6/8-man spawns for an entire TF's worth of missions!

There's going to be LESS harassment of other players to pad!

This freaking rocks for soloists.

EDIT: C'mon devs, take the next step, let a single person start a TF on their own, and STILL set the spawns for whatever you decide SHOULD be running it.

Yes all the most recent changes to the game have converted it to City of Farmers,

1) purple recipes tied to mob defeats = best way to get them = farm or PL
2) XP smoothing = reduced the number of drops per level = farm oro to get stuff.
3) XP smoothing = sweeping hazard zones are the best place to level (again, we've come full circle on this one) and while you are sweeping you get to farm.

Lotta really bad ideas here that all point to skipping content and merely farming as the "most efficient way to play the game"

[/ QUOTE ]

And still the most boring.

I'm going to love this change because it's going to give me what I want for once. I get to have cranked up spawns, not for farming, not for drops, but for the joy of the carnage.

All at my own pace with minimal harassment of other players.

Right on.

WOOT! It's carnage time! My brutes and scrappers thank you!!!!

Hmmm... crank up my ancient second account or just use my brother's to pad that one necessary spot?

wow.

While I like the heart on the crotch business....

If there's not something in there of functional use to make the lowbie levels go by faster, I can't rationalize the 10 bucks.

That's a 6 pack of beer for me.

Anyone else think it's kind of creepy to have a life-size picture of yourself in your room? What are those people thinking?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, yea... lifesize picture of me is creepy... but lifesize picture of Bill Z.. hmmm.

Cool you guys found one of em. Keep looking though, the biggest Grandville easter egg has yet to be found

[/ QUOTE ]

New redname sighting. So YOU'RE the one we get to blame for Grandville's horrific performance?

Grrrr.

That said, I love the zone, so well done on the imagery.

Would be nice if it didn't rip apart our rigs, though.

EDIT: Wow... got wrapped right into this necropost, didn't I?

Groovy.

My reading comprehension fails again.

Aerones,

Although hot and well done.... ummm, I'm black. Not African-Amercian black. I mean black. Like my soul. And my Guinness.

And no, that pic did not make me gay looking at it. There's nothing wrong with <CENSORED> myself.

As a heads up, I've requested that this thread be unstickied. In light of the fact that the most recent Catalysts set to N/A Bloom, Depth of Field and Desaturation effects, and that the data in the OP is 6 months old, this thread has outlived its usefulness.

I advise all users of ATI video cards to open a ticket with NCSoft support for any problems they may have with this game. Following the guidance of a non-professional to work around issues is detrimental to the goal of resolution.

I won't be writing another one.

I advise all users of ATI video cards to open a ticket with NCSoft support for any problems they may have with this game. Following the guidance of a non-professional to work around issues is detrimental to the goal of resolution.

I also ask that any reference to prior guides I have written be avoided for future seekers of information/support, as such outdated information will more likely exacerbate issues rather than aid those seeking assistance.

If no resolution can be found through proper channels, perhaps they should write a letter to Richard Garriott directly.

They day the games are fully merged, that heroes and villains all have access to all of the zones etc., is the day I cancel my account. It is a bad idea all around.

[/ QUOTE ]
becuase you will have more people to play with, you will be able to lvl faster and see more content?

[/ QUOTE ]
No, because World PvP is antithetical to how this game was launched, and thus, antithetical to the very thing that attracted a large portion of the Old Guard among the playerbase.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. I don't need to level faster when I can solo to 50 within a few months of casual play.

My global list is nearly full. I can find people to team with at any hour of the day when I desire.

We have PvP zones. Would I mind if those were made cross server? Considering the small number of players I find in those zones, no, I wouldn't mind that at all.

Would I mind the constant nagging of "Player X wants to fight you" when I'm soloing in PvE zones? Oh yea, that'd annoy me to the point of cancellation in a heartbeat.

heh.

This might prove interesting for some:

Catalyst 8.1 introduces MultiView™ support. This feature provides for hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering across multiple graphics adapters.

[/ QUOTE ]

Other than that, I see nothing of note.

8.1s are out for XP as well.

I dunno, Wolf. It seemed to me that GhostRaptor was implying it was a known issue on NCSoft's side of things.

Perhaps if someone at NCSoft had some information, they could come in and share it with us. Someone like the current graphics engine lead, perhaps.

As for AMD not updating links, when you are at the OS, Card Type selction screen and hit Next, the tab that pops up still says 7.11 as well.

And what, pray tell, is this Known Issue? And why the hell didn't anyone mention it on the US forums?

[ QUOTE ]
Glad to hear you've got yourself back into the game now.

The issue with the newest ATI drivers having problems is known and a fix for that should be coming through in a near-future update.

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting thread. Looks like Omegas are once again the way to go as per our European brethren.

Doing some digging on their forums to see if anything else of interest pops up.

Edit: Nope. Nothing of note.

Awesome. Nice to see Turbo_Ski in her proper element.
