    (Also non-serious answer) Can I get a crotch slider for my male toons <insert twisted version of your comment about other sizes existing>?
    Like "Starts at "John Holmes" and goes up to "Who needs to rip up street signs?" type comments?"

    The Chest Slider

    POST-ACTION

    We need Boob Melee. Selecting this secondary on tanks (primary on scrappers and brutes) allows the slider to go another two inches to the right.

    Then it's all just marshmallow hell baby!

    That and your toon makes random quips about aching backs and needing reduction surgery...

    In Dr. Girlfriend's voice...

    Now. Before you take this as something sinister.

    100% packet loss to some nodes IS ENTIRELY NORMAL.

    Some providers, to prevent Denial of Service attacks through massive ping floods, and maintain node performance simply DROP incoming pings as an unwanted traffic type. Hence, 100% packet loss.

    Now, if you're not getting 0% or 100%, yeah, something is going on with that node then.

    .
    Saying "I have been in previous closed betas and have seen this content" is not a violation of the closed beta as:

    A: We know there are closed betas.
    B: The NDA for said betas have expired.
    C: We know about the content (but not specifics) for the new tutorial.

    He's disclosed no specifics.

    He's released a rather general statement that the zero-cost badges in the tutorial are NOT the jailbird/isolator badges. He hasn't gotten specific with what the badges ARE.

    FF Help!

    POST-ACTION

    Apologies. For some reason my Mids isn't dumping the links as well.

    While not DP, here's a basic FF Fender that can be tweaked for pretty much ANY secondary. Better yet, it does NOT rely on the PVP TP/+3% def IO (though it has the Steadfast).

    All I'd do for this build to upgrade it (and make it correspondingly stupid-expensive) is two-slot Enzymes in all the personal defenses. Though, if I got my hands on a PVP IO it wouldn't hurt either.

    Essentially this is just turning Netgraph on or off.

    He's already got netgraph on and is noting anomalous behavior that he'd like explained.

    Okay this is probably something you're going to need to report to Customer Service.

    But, in the interim, can you follow the link to my "How to ask for help" guide and paster your CoH Helper and HijackThis logs in this thread?

    It's possible that you have something running in the background that's eating tons of bandwidth and locking you up. The logs would be helpful in finding out.

    Sorry je_saist, but wrong again.

    With the client being only slightly more stable than a house of cards in a wind chamber, and the fact that the trials are KNOWN to mapserve with a regularity that metamucil can't guarantee, auto-failing a trial by going below an arbitrary population (to stop the "I solo'ed/duo'ed this Trial" runs most likely) is bullcrap of the highest order.

    Maybe if the underlying client and systems were rock-solid stable, you'd STILL be wrong. If players want to run a trial a certain way, and can get past the entry barriers LET THEM RUN THE F**KING TRIALS!

    Does the word, or acronym for "teaming" come up ANYWHERE in MMO?



    Quote:
    So, would you claim that the majority of the general MMO player base prefers to play solo & dislikes teaming?
    I did not say this. And I'm not making any claims to "majority" without any real support other than "IMNSHO". YOU are the one doing this.

    Quote:
    As far as data goes, the developers have access to plenty of it, and have a much better idea what the majority of existing, and perhaps more importantly, potential players desire from an MMO.
    Yes, but YOU don't have that data. So YOU (personally) don't know and are unqualified to make quantitative statements. You can make guesses as to what's going through the developer's minds by their actions all you want. But it's still just that, a guess.


    Quote:
    However, when you break an MMO down to its core concept, it's about people playing with other people. Rationalize all you want, it won't change that simple & basic concept..
    "It's about people playing with other people".

    Again, "teaming" is NOT mentioned there. It's, as I have maintained, merely one of many options.

    If teaming was the raison d'etre, you'd be dropped into the game and slotted into a team.
