    Memory leak?

    Not seeing any memory leak here. Never seen it climb above about 1.2 GB of usage, including after running an iTrial marathon last night (all the trials, back to back, no logging or crashing). I keep Process Explorer up and running on a third display because I am often doing multiple things at once on my PC. It might have gone over 1.2 GB but I didn't notice.
    • Windows 7 64 bit
    • Stock clock Q6600
    • 8 GB RAM
    • Radeon 5850 running 11.4 drivers

  3. You sure do like overthinking things Samuel_Tow.

    Feel free to report those people, but I am certain that gloating over beating someone to a name isn't an actionable offense. It's distasteful, though.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that griefing is an actionable offense.
    It certainly is. However, (as an example) me beating someone to a name isn't griefing, even if it causes that person misery. Put another way, engaging in perfectly acceptable behaviour such as racing to names isn't griefing just because the loser gets sore about it.

    It could easily be proven that the person(s) that did this were targeting specific "well known" and "high profile" names. If their accounts are full of such names, that is proof of griefing, and it should be addressed by the GMs/Devs.
    .
    Once again, that doesn't prove anything other than that player was faster than the others at getting those names. Nobody has a claim to any name they don't hold, even if they hold it on all the other servers. It is not griefing to take a name before someone else, even if the other person really wanted it and is therefore miserable that they didn't get it.

    DumpleBerry, you can find out who got any given name with /getglobalname but I assume you know that.
  5. I will buy one and test tonight if nobody else does. Meanwhile you might wanna crosspost this to the i21 bug forums too.

    One of the worst design decisions in the store, right here. Right up there with the whole "you bought this already but here it is again" thing.
  7. What exactly are they doing and why exactly should they be punished? All that can be said for sure is that some people were faster on the naming draw than others. being certain about malicious intent is pretty much impossible barring a /tell from someone saying "neener neener, got your name". Sometimes we get tunnel vision regarding the motivations of others, especially when their actions cause us a lot of grief.

    Names aren't "claimed" or "owned" by anyone besides the person who gets them first. I realize it probably drives people nuts, but it is what it is. Also, as mentioned upthread, if their intention is to wind people up, why give them the satisfaction of knowing they succeeded?

    autorenew?

    Go to accounts and cancel billing to stop the account from autorenewing.
  9. Wait, the market coding was farmed out? If so, you guys got ripped off.

  11. The Defender version of Time Manipulation's T9 is on a much longer timer than the Corruptor version, according to the power description. I assume this is a bug.

    Freedom

    The latter.
  13. I really wish I could gift points. I wound up buying a little more than 20,000 across a couple accounts and have a few left over. There's people I'd love to hand them out to in some of my favourite channels.

    I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole Freedom thing. I was worried, excited, nervous and overjoyed all at once when it was announced. Now that it's live I feel much better about the whole thing. Most of my concerns are gone and the ones that remain I think I can live with. It looks like i will be able to drop thirty or forty bucks a month on the store without feeling bad about it. Thanks devs!
  14. Rad blast is pretty meh. I'm not surprised you feel underwhelmed. I found it to be weak and slow. The animations aren't bad or especially slow, but what kills it for me is that the actual blast travel times are terrible. Also, the -def effect rapidly becomes superfluous.
  15. I am really learning a lot about how different people value different things. I have seen both in-forum and in-game that the costume slots are very popular, while to me they are the biggest waste of money this side of Shadowy Presence. Meanwhile I get told I am a loon because I bought a whole bunch of storage upgrades It must be very hard for the devs to set pricing when for any given item there are people who won't buy it at any price and people who will buy it no matter the cost.
  16. Is it a bug or WAI that the Defender version of the T9 in Time Manipulation has a much longer recharge than the Corruptor version? I haven't looked at the Controller or Mastermind versions.
  17. Are you on a Mac? Apparently there is some issue with store text on the Mac client. I dunno the details, as I don't have a Mac.

    I mean, if I wait in line at a retail establishment or restaurant and endure the inane conversations of the patrons ahead of me that don't understand what things like 'on the side' or 'buy 5 get one free' mean, I can have the patience to navigate through a few menus.

    For me, there is no mistrust, there is no fear, there are only goodies waiting for me to acquire them.
    Well the thing is, like Aracanville says, once we get a year or three worth of weekly new stuff in there, the thing is gonna be unusable.
  19. Yeah my main and really only complaint about the Market is that it looks like the UI was written by an intern who has never seen an online store. It really is terrible, although it's better than it was! Come to think of it, the one thing that Paragon Studios can be reliably expected to do badly is UI stuff; you guys do all right on the important bits, I find
  20. All I could say was GOOD RIDDANCE. Tara dying is the best thing to happen in the show since ever. Sad about Jesus, Lafayette and Jesus were the best romance on the damn show bar none.

    Loving it all, happy to be able to give Paragon the money to continue to build the game, I don't feel the least bit bad about any of it.
    This is pretty much what I did at lunch. Seeing the actual pricing made me content to drop a hundred on it. Still have 5K or so points left, gonna spend that on storage when I get home.
  22. I had 1750 before I started buying points.
  23. Had some time to poke around at lunch. Reductions on a lot of things I wanted, no change on some things I have already or don't want, and therefore I am happy. Looking forward to the inevitable sales! Thanks for reinforcing my good opinion of the dev team.

    yes it does but as noted just buy points with your dollars and get a bulk discount (actually bonus points).

    That's awesome and really makes me believe that the devs are willing to bring prices in line with where we players think they should be.
