You might want to log a bug report using the /bug command over this. That shouldn't be how it's supposed to work and they probably will want to know about it.

Necessary when in combat. Not standing at a place with an automatic kill field around it. (I view mastermind pets as ok if you're just passing through but if you're going to be there a while kill 'em). My rule is, if it takes less than 15-30 seconds to set back up again, then suck it up and turn them off.

I'm not militant anti-toggle. I'm militant anti-heavy power effects toggles. Even if it's a quick stop off, you're still killing performance.

I don't think that's something people with higher end machines really get...exactly how much low framerates affect the market screen usability.

(Apologies for all the editing...wasn't terribly clear my first attempt)

Works for The Hollows too. Many of my characters wander over to talk to David when I'm in the area of the hollows gate in atlas park, just so they don't have to do that stupid mission where you need to go across a whole zone and click on him.

But that's kinda a moot point for side switching due to the whole out leveled thing.

General rule is any zone that's been added or revamped (that wasn't part of CoV or GR type expansion) has walk up contacts assuming you're in the level range.

I'm running on a lower end machine (although not LOW end, it's 3+ years old at this point with a ATI X1600 graphics card). It's not all toggle powers, but certain ones with heavy graphical effects can make things very difficult to use the market effectively. It slows down the UI enough (already slowed down by the gigantic memory hog that is the market window) to make typing slow and laggy and mouse clicks can also get delayed signifiganty.

So the answer is...yes. It does. It makes using the market for any length of time very difficult.

The worst is the people who have AoE heal type powers on auto for some unknown reason. Although I haven't seen one of those in a while.

EDIT: It's not really flight or travel powers that are an issue. It's things like the armors, the PBAoE toggles like Shadow's Fall, Arctic Air, the force field and sonic defense bubbles, player based AoE damage power toggles. Especially with multiple people using them.

Please, please, PLEASE think of the other people. 15 seconds to re-toggle your powers isn't REALLY that long of a time.

Answer: There's jerks and inconsiderate people in the world who are unable to consider how their actions impact those around them. Those people also play video games.

Here's a tip. Requesting Christina Hendricks art from Wassy has about a 95% chance of succeeding.

We're printing out the e-mail and hanging it on the fridge. (That piece totally deserved a year's membership at least! You got ripped off)

Since this wasn't specifically addressed: Much like CoV was, Going Rogue is a large patch to the game, so you can't install it in a separate location.

If I had to take a guess at it...either Alienware paid them to include it or somebody saw the feature, noticed the SDK and said "huh cool, let me see if I can do something with that" and hacked it up in their spare time.

Well, you were actually, until you left the eggs out all day after the shoot

There's good 3d/poser stuff out there, but like you said, you have to do a lot of post work on it usually to make it really shine, and you still need to understand the fundamentals. Which is why there's a ton of bad poser art out there because it's so easy to get into and extremely hard to master.

The dead eye look is what gets me with most 3d pieces, which is thankfully finally becoming less and less common as people get more experience and the technology gets better and better. It's still very early on in the game with this stuff.

*shudder*

Yeah, I'm under the impression that what they went through to create HeroStats is probably pushing the limits of what the EULA allows, but actually using it doesn't violate anything as it doesn't modify or reverse engineer any game files.
