Newb Question - Do most of you just have tankers on all the servers to play? Or is there a character copy/transfer thing you can do?
Thanks!
Because you can never have too many tanks. -
Wondered what'd happened. Came in, all dolled up and had noplace to go.
Wound up having to settle for iTrials instead when I got no response. -

Doesn't matter . Still expect timely service. I am not saying that paragon is guilty of bad service I am saying paying customers have the right to complain.
Addditionally, other paying customers have the ability to oppose your POV and call you on your complaint. -

Quote:While I was in the army, I was doing 6-1/2 minute miles (actually the first mile was faster than the second but averaged out) during my PT tests. This comes out to just over 9 miles an hour (9.2). Granted, with fatigue it'd probably drop to 8 or 7 over the course of an hour. And by NO means was I sprinting flat out (you REALLY don't wanna do that on a PT test).Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
I think that gets most people into the realm of 200m standing long jumps and 100m standing high jumps. Impressive, but by no means supersonic.
So, if you figure 9.2 miles an hour. 100-fold increase. 920 miles an hour. Mach 1.21.
Now, as I've gotten tubby and old(er), my run times have probably at least doubled. But, still, that's 460 mph when amplified.
And in response to Lastjuice, the fastest helicopter flight times ever recorded weigh in around 250mph. So yeah, even for a tubby *censored* like me, that's still "out of line of sight". Granted, it's going to take a couple minutes to do so. A lot of it depends on how agile the suit is too. Taking advantage of ground cover would help lose the chopper faster than just trying to flat outrun it (which is a bad idea since it's REALLY hard to outrun a radio transmission). -
That would be a yes. It works. -

Quote:Essentially the game is moving to a hybrid Free To Play setup.Originally Posted by _nelz0r
Wow, so it seems like a LOT has changed since last time I played.
I heard from a friend that they've retired all the booster packs and such and they're coming back through something called Paragon Market. Now I've read and googled some, but I can't seem to find where the thing is! Is it only available to the test servers or something? I'd really love to be able to buy some of the cool booster packs.
Cheers!
Now, instead of "packs" of stuff, people will be able to buy "Points" from Paragon directly and use them to make purchases of SPECIFIC items.
People who choose to keep paying subscription become the VIP tier.
People who, at one time, paid, but opted to go free, become the Premium tier and are able to retain a most of the stuff they've already been given.
People who start up new accounts but opt not to pay are the standard tier. They're, in many ways, even more limited than the old trial accounts were. But, at least you're allowed to play for free. -
One inf destroyer to another, CONGRATULATIONS! Nice job!

Call me weird, or unamerican or whatever (not like I give a damn), but I never "got" the draw of Fantasy Football.
Then again, I'm one of those people who doesn't really "get" the draw of professional sports either. I'll go to games now and again and have a blast. But following teams? Watching it on TV? Checking the papers for game scores? NAHHHHH! -

Hello,
I need a help with buying a new PC. I've read some PC/Ultra guides, however my needs are a little more specific.
I need a PC that can run very high ultra on 1920x1200 with steady 60+ fps AND I want to be able to make videos in ultra mode too. I expect to spend about $1500. So what exactly should I get?
Thanks.
Snag a copy of the questions and paste them in back here in this thread.
Answering them as fully as possible will make it easier to suggest appropriate components or a system. -
Quote:I agree. I wasn't a huge fan of CoE. It still, mostly, worked. But even it felt stretched. Davies writes best in an episodic format. Both CoE and ESPECIALLY Miracle Day are suffering because of this. It's the TV equivalent of stretching "See Spot run. Run Spot! Run!" out into a group of novels roughly the size of the combined books of the Belgariad and the Malloreon with all supporting books included.Originally Posted by Dr_MechanoEU
I definitely think the series suffers purely for being more 'Americanised'. I can't really put my finger on it but it seems a lot different to your standard UK series or rather it feels like a UK series made purely to be sold to Americans.
Children of Earth was just right at running only 5 episodes, it didn't outstay its welcome and gave the story arc time to flourish while keeping it fairly snappy. Miracle day seems over stretched and would probably have been better if it had stuck to the 5 episode limit.
As someone else in the thread said, Story arc seasons only really work if not EVERYTHING in the season is about them, reference them here and there in other episodes otherwise it just drags along. I watched the entire run up until episode 5 on the BBC Iplayer and I just wanted the plot line finished with, I don't know it just kind of bored me, definitely not going to bother watching the rest of the series.
Agreeing with Marsquake on the Oswald Dane character, if they even attempt a redemption arc with him (not having watched the last 3 episodes) then that was just a waste, the man is, put simply, a monster. He enjoys what he did and is unrepentant for it, the guy doesn't deserve redemption.
Definitely not Davies best by far, while he is not Steven Moffat I still enjoyed Children of Earth.
I could deal with a season of loosely connected, but still individual stories each week. But Torchwood is kinda falling apart trying to stretch a single story over this long.
The dying father issue has consumed most of 3-4 episodes now.
And while I'm not homophobic, the whole "And Jack likes boys too! SEE!" is getting stale due to overuse.
The social commentary on the government and the medical care situation in the US was grating around the end of the third episode.
Essentially the bigger budget and lax oversight on Davies has done the series no favor. Which is a shame. Torchwood still has MASSIVE potential. But it needs to go back to it's original format, and they need to get multiple writers in on the series again.
The series worked when:
- Torchwood was a shadow organization. Right now Torchwood is essentially public knowledge at this point.
- When they were fighting alien/paranormal enemies.
- When the crisis of the week was solved in that week, or at least by the next week.
- When they were trying to tell a STORY not make statement.
-
Honestly, I think it was a mistake to stretch the series out this long.
As has been noted earlier, one of the reasons the original show WORKED was because they HAD to work within the hour time frame to tell the story.
The expansion of essentially a single story to an entire season did the show no favors. Had it been a seasonal ARC with various loosely connected, but individual stories, it might have worked better. They're spending too much time on the dying father arc (they've revisted this "threat to the family" what, four or five times now?) The social commentary on the health care system is getting grating as well.
And yes, we understand Jack likes boys too. I'm not homophobic or anything but GOD! MOVE ON!
Children of Earth worked, sorta. I still prefer the episodic format more.
Hopefully Miracle Day doesn't kill the franchise, because there's a lot of good work that can still be done with Torchwood. The current format is like stretching "See Spot run. Run Spot! Run!" out into something roughly the length of the entirety of the Belgariad and the Malloreon and all adjunct novels. -

Hyperstrike, thanks so much for answering. I'll check into those suggestions you offered.
I called the Geek Squad yesterday and they also mentioned Acronis. I'm thinking since my regular HD is substantially larger than my SSD, I'll check into those you recommended for partitioning.
Again, you have my thanks.
Think of it this way.

I didn't know there is such thing as drive-cloning. I will mention it to the Geek Squad (although I'm not sure why they didn't suggest it).
Here's a list of various disk cloning software.
The ones I have experience with are:
Ghost
TrueImage
DD
Clonezilla
Note: Depending on the size of the SSD in comparison to the original disk, you may need a package that'll resize the partition(s)s for you as well. If so, Ghost or TrueImage are your best bets.
