I'm still here but I had to take a day off on Friday. I was thinking of posting a message on the boards but it seems to encourage certain types of behaviour when people know for sure that there isn't anybody moderating around :P

[/ QUOTE ]

But we already know there's no-one moderating around until at least 2 or 3pm our time.

I like elec, powersink being my main reason and Thunderstrike gives you a second stun against those that need them.

EMP + Powersink can be nice.

Also there's the energy based set. Power Boost + EMP is sickening, I use that on my troller often. But on my defender I like Elec

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm. Cynic and Shannon make good cases too. Conserve Power is great after an EMP and Power Build Up (or Power Boost in my Grav/TAs case) is sick before an EMP. And Total Focus will stack with Cosmic Burst to stun (and heavily damage) bosses.

At least it didn't go the way of Darkfall

Linky

And ouch at the final paragraph dig at the lack of customer services over here (not that it's not true or anything)

[ QUOTE ]
I think I've maybe had it once or twice in my entire time using the forums but 99% of the time i have no problems and that's across 5 different computers and 2 mobiles with 4 different ISPs.

The problems just seem really random in who they affect

Except for FFM. That bug loved him (personally I think he was forging it for the postcount )

Yah, couldn't find a good concept for a Cold/ toon...

[/ QUOTE ]

Just stick him in a Cryo suit and blame Crey. It's the base-line method for making any character concept

[/ QUOTE ]

But, but, but... the Crey look so ugly! And another thing that puts me off Cold/ is the bulkiness of the Ice Shields! It's all about having the right look

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the nice thing about Cold. You're not making YOUR character ugly with bulky shields, just everyone elses on the team

(I'm a complete number *Lady of Negotiable Virtue* so it's the shiney numbers of Cold which draw me to it, although I still have to get out of single figures level-wise)

I'd go Dark, mostly for Soul Drain at 47.

I love Soul Drain so much (or Mire if you're used to a Warshade).

Aim > Soul Drain > Irradiate > Neutron Bomb would be a lovely PBAOE combo too (ok Bomb isn't PBAOE but it'd work the same way)

Dark Consumption would work nicely with EMP as well.

*Loads Cakeapult*
*Aims*

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire!!

Have a good one! And ignore that whisling sound which seems to be getting nearer and nearer. I'm sure it's nothing.

Yeah this forum software is a dogpile.

However don't expect anyone to actually do anything about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

They have - but it's not ready yet - be patient

[/ QUOTE ]

Let's be realistic here. It's more like "Since we fired (sorry, made redundant) almost anyone working in the Community Support area in the EU we don't have anyone to manage setting it up & running it any more".

That said this board is generally fine for me. But I don't use Exploder.

[ QUOTE ]
actually one other thing i could do with feedback on. when you upload a critter mission or costume. do you want people to download them? and how? plain text on screen or plain text download was what i was thinking.

[/ QUOTE ]

You'd have to be able to download, that's the point surely? Otherwise the feature isn't anything more than "Look at the nice cossies / enemies I made", I wouldn't see the use of not being able to download them.

As a downloadable Text File I guess.

Cohesion is probably the best description when it comes to powers. I was going to say some form of difficultly rating but one mans "Hard as nails" minions are anothers "Easy Mode" in a lot of cases.

Some form of freeform field where people can add their own notes on the groups saying things like "Squishies might find this group tricky" or conversly "Some meleers may find the debuffs make their life hell" would probably be a good idea too.

Oh I was a member of that too.

I've managed to delete my Facebook account totally since then though. They don't make it easy either, cunning swines.

Unfortunately not - was something they popped in a little while back. I don't find it too galling once you're used to it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't their a bind_load_file_quiet command or something? I could have sworn there was?

*Edit : Try this : bind_load_file_silent

[ QUOTE ]
any ideas for powersets on minions? ones that will make them real pests

[/ QUOTE ]

*/Cold Dom Extreme minions will make most things weep. They get Infrigidate and Benumb (so long Defense, Recharge, Regeneration, Damage and Run Speed and have a negitive Power Boost applied to all your mezzes, some buffs and debuffs and your heals as well), or at least they did in Test.

In test I made some Dark Blasting / Cold Domination minions who did awful, awful things to my Brute. Pairing them with Plant Lieuts didn't help matters much.

There's a CSS solution here but of course it involves some JS as well, mainly to copy the selected filename from the hidden actual File Input into the visible styled <input> & fancy button version.

[ QUOTE ]
problem is styling it believe it or not. some fool left out allowing styles to be attached to file upload entries. we are having to use javascript to turn the original transparent while hovering it over a pretend styed box looks really bad when it goes wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh you mean the way you can't colour / change the "Choose" button with CSS?

Yep, it's a pain. Happened to me yesterday. Just do what I did yesterday and tell the client there's nothing to be done. Thankfully I was just rebadging the site in question and one of the stipulations they mentioned was "No code changes". Yay!

I'm rather glad I booby-trapped the kudos with a rather large explosive device - can't have anyone getting kudos on an Internet forum - it wouldn't be right!

Oh it's Ok. He only got away with the kudos. I still have this large ticking thing....

PIA = Pain In As

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, cannae help I'm afraid. I've done a few File & image Upload sections on sites but all in Java rather than php. All that might be relevant to you would be to make sure you use :

method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"

in the form tag but I'm sure you already know that.

[ QUOTE ]
well khaine did a fair bit he denies it but he did it. we got a load of new toys to add to the site as soon as we can work some bits out. the dumb bit is that the difficult bit is easy and the easy bit is stupidly hard.

as i like doing hints let me just say that file uploads are involved and a PIA

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I already know what it is, if it's what I was discussing with Khaines in PMs before.

What's a PIA though? Sounds like a small car made in the far east (possibly out of plastic and bits of string).

[ QUOTE ]
i have now signed up and you can message me if you like. khaine said something about branding irons and recharge sockets. my account lists as brand new i have been using khaines fir a while now so i am not a noob just a new account

[/ QUOTE ]

Hiya, welcome and thanks for all the work put into the site!

Damn Standoff, trying to steal my kudos!

*shakes fist*

My kudos. Mine!
