I thought that they took away the ability to combine Hami's.

I konw that there are ones that exist from before (I know I have some on a character).

But the other issue that comes up is if you take it out with a respec doesn't the enhancement lose any +'s?

Thanks for the answers.

That is what I thought but figured I should ask.

Has anyone setup a way to track what recipes and salvage they have on each character so they can look at it outside of the game?

Something like a database?

If so is there a way to pull that data from the game? Similiar to HeroStats (I haven't used but I know it does lots of tracking of items).

It is just always painful trying to remember if you have a piece of salvage or a recipe on a character if you do not play them all the time.

I thought that it returned to the original character that sent it.

I will have to go back and look but I remember reading that before. Maybe that is just if it goes to a bad address.

In the end, it all comes down to how fast you are able to take things out. If you are extremely slow at taking out bosses like my defenders are, then bosses are not really worth it. But my fire/shield and my fire/kin can fly through them pretty easily (at same level...when increasing a lot higher than that it is much slower).

So I love to have bosses on because it increases recipe drops and gives that ability to get the TF recipe drops (random merit roll/Pool C). I have gotten quite a few of these over time. Can never complain about getting a LoTG +7.5% recharge from just running a normal mission.

The other thing to remember is that the updater which actually starts the game can only have 1 running at a time. So start the updater, do the next/I agree thing and once the game is running start the other instance.

I want Axe to come over to Scrappers for the same reason as the above wants War Mace. I hve the whole dwarf characters planned out.

But have to wait.

Standard IO's become better than SO's at level 35 I think. At that point they have better numbers and NEVER wear out.

Heck there are many characters that I have which put in IO's when low level and barely touch them until I am much higher. And then it is normally to start switching out to IO Sets.

Yes, anything in the game can be done with just SO's in a character. But that does not mean that it can be done as easily.

If you build out a character well with IO's then you can just roll through many things.

There are not many SO'd characters that are going out to solo AV's.

And your example of solo'g the ITF is an example of being able to do some great things with IO's but the same character with just SO's would not last long doing the same thing.

Back on the topic of how much some of these IO's are worth, personally I do not think that they are worth the price but I understand what people are looking for in it because they are able to put one of these in the character and save slots for other sets that they may want.

Has there been any news around when they expect WW to be back online?

It is painful to store items in the email system or having to shuffle it between characters until it is back online.

It seems to be all of the West Coast servers.

I bet this has to do with the fact that you can now have 7 open missions.

I bet the number of story arcs also increased. Although I am not sure what it would be changed to. I would guess 3-4.

Most likely you will have to pay for a name change. I cannot see them automatically offering a name change when you change sides (it would open the door to people just changing side to change their name).

It must be something odd on your character because I just checked my claws/invuln and she has resist IO's in her Resist Elements and the Toxic value was also increased.

Thanks.

I will try that one once I get home.

I have a NVidia GTX 260 video card and running Windows 7 64-bit.

What is the best process to get the newest version of the video drivers on the machine, including cleaning up the old drivers first.

I remember using a program before, I think driver clearner or something, but that one does not seem to have the free version it use to.

I want to clean off the drivers and then install the new one cleanly because I think somehting is mucked in mine because I am not seeing some graphics that others seem to see fine (specifically the lightning in the swords on upgraded Grave Knights). Also, when testing out the Ultra mode on test I turned everything up all the way and my FPS went from hovering at 60 down to 10.

I know that it was listed that the GTX 260 is going to probably be around the mid range of the Ultra mode so I might not be able to crank everything through the roof but I would think it should not plummet that much.

Thanks for any help on this.

I know that you said you are not concerned about non-purple recipes but something to still consider when you have bosses in the run is that a boss has a small chance of dropping a TF recipe instead of a normal recipe and that can be worth having them in the mix.

As others have said the real balancing factor if they are worth being in the mix is how long it takes to take out the boss. If it slows the run down significantly then it is not worth having them there.

I personally use the Sidewinder X6 keyboard from Microsoft.

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ga...s.aspx?pid=102

I love it. I have not had any issues with it since I got.

It does not have a heads up display on the keyboard itself but then again I barely even look at the keyboard when I play so any display would need to be near my monitor for me to use it.

So it was the Barracuda SF and not the ITF or LGTF with just all villians?

I only ask because those 2 even if the team is fully hero or villian I think kick people that leave the zone.

If it was a straight villain TF then file it as a bug.

One other thing to note is that AE does not use the blue patrol XP (unless you die and it pays off your debt).

So it you would not get the extra 50% xp for that.

I don't remember reading why it was that it did not use the patrol xp in there.

No luck. By the sound of it I have my settings the same way as others that do see the lightning.

I will have to check on my other machine that also has a GTX 260 in it and see if it shows up on that computer.

It is just odd.

Thanks for the information.

Have you looked at the updated driver 196.21 on Windows 7 as of yet?

I am running a GTX 260 video card and I can run everything at max and things look great but I noticed recently that the lightning in the swords of my Grave Nights on my Necro MM is no longer there. I have no idea why it disappeared.

Another person said that on their Grave Knights it is still there so I figure it has to be some setting that I am just missing.

Do I need to download and install the Physx's driver separately? I remember having to do that way back but I thought it was integrated now in Nvidia drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not sure what else I might not be seeing.

Well then that means it is a setting somewhere.

I do have everything all the way up.

What graphics card to you have?

Thanks.
