  1. Yeah this only started when I changed my drivers accidentally via Steam, which apparently has a facility to update the ol' Radeonandonandon drivers. I have no idea what version I am running now!

    Also, I just logged in and checked and I no longer get the blocks of black on the screen.
  2. I get the same thing in character select with a 5850, and just like psydar, it's only if i return to it. Not too worried.

    Yes, people like yourself who don't know how to build their characters and are unwilling to learn will still have problems.

    Yeah, but you look so much more awesome when you are kicking *** at 10% health!

    That's not how they work. They add resistance that scales up as your health decreases. Their defense values do not change with your health.
  6. My SR brute was softcapped by 40 and is nigh unkillable. I don't have aid self but I am DM/SR so Siphon Life keeps me upright. It has a taunt aura but if you intend to hold aggro you are gonna want Taunt proper.
  7. I have suspected for a long time that the timeout command does nothing at all. Has this been confirmed?

    I am 99% sure this is what I did last time this came around, and it went fine.
  10. I like brute SR because of the much-improved order you obtain powers. Exemping my SR brute doesn't bother me much; exemping my SR scraps doesn't happen much. The extra hitpoints don't seem to make much difference to me, but it must help at least somewhat.
  11. Well now, welcome to Masterminding! For bots, I would go with Dark or Traps. They are both all-round awesome and only have one stinker each (Black Hole and Detonator). Force field is safe as houses, but it will bore you to tears and things just die faster when they are Tar Patched or Acid Mortared
  12. My prediction: you are going to be real sick of freakshow wars by the end of this

    I'm going to start doing this regularly now. Just in case.
  14. Thanks for the update and thanks for your hard work.

    Is this some kind of sick joke?
  16. I've been wondering what the hell to slot in my MM. Do the pets inherit the Alpha slot benefits?

    I know exactly what you mean, I have been building characters and then thinking, "but what if I alpha slot in some recharge???" It's killing me.
  18. I want an accolade for completing all the Shard TFs.
  19. Just want to point out that Dispersion Bubble doesn't protect against sleep. Otherwise some interesting ideas, although I don't necessarily think changes are needed.

    With this sentence, you've converted me. I agree with you fully.

    Is it just me

    Kinetic Melee seems pretty fast to me, and hits like a truck. No complaints.

    I know I will celebrate if my soldiers lose Brawl. They have no business punching people. I am sorry. Yeah, I do know brawl may increase dps a bit but at what cost? Them running into the mobs and dying way faster? Sometimes it's not just about dying faster. With Soldiers' cone attacks being very narrow, I need them to stand "far" so their cones cover more targets. I don't want them to move forward at all.
    Thing is, some pets (Protector Bots) don't have any melee attacks, yet they still close to melee. And stand there. That's how broken this is.
