Love his "welcome to America" moment. These two episodes are wonderful examples of how culturally, Britain and the US are like two long-time friends who can poke fun at each other's quirks. In some ways, the story is a love letter to the homeland of the American fans.
Rory comes tearing out of the Tardis "They're Americans! They're Americans!", and the Doctor's instantly trying to talk them down from shooting.
The Confidentials are also different from the Doctor Who In America programs (though they share some material). -
Findulias,
Considering the amount of E/N being tossed around in the trial, bumping it like you have is a better idea than more recharge anyhow. -

Come on folks this is a superhero game. I choose a different option.
11. Permadeath and the character disappears from it's slot. Then a month later it shows up in a different slot with a new costume, name, and a partial power set change. Then after a couple months of not performing too well it switches back to it's original name, costume, powers and slot.
or
11b. Permadeath. But you gain 4 new slots with 4 completely new characters that have the same name as the original character but different powers. Then in a couple months the original character returns and the others vanish. -

So you're trying to make PVP even MORE undesirable to play (if such a thing is possible)?

Lessee, we've got 10 people here admitting to [on the order of] 56 billion each. Assume that 10% of players are forumgoers and 10% of forumgoers are willing to talk about being rich here, that's about 1000 people with 56 billion each, so yeah, around 56 trillion cash.
I could believe 56 trillion. -

Here's what you do, path given is just for example's sake.
Say it's R:\CityOfHeroes
- Rename to R:\CityOfHeroesOld
- Run the launcher and install to R:\CityOfHeroes
- Once the launcher starts trying to download, kill the process. Shut down the launcher.
- Delete R:\CityOfHeroes
- Rename R:\CityOfHeroesOld to R:\CityOfHeroes
- Run the launcher again and grab recent updates. DONE!

Was going to ask people "Can I have your stuff"
But, apparently, I'm holding all of it right now...
SO SCREW YA!

Registrar: So what's your power.
SuperSeller: I sell stuff.
Registrar: ?!?!?
SuperSeller: From anywhere. LITERALLY.
Cue Interdimensional Invasion flashback
RandomHero1: C'mon Seller! Get your head in the game! These Rikti are trouncing us!
SuperSeller: Just a sec, I socking away some of the stuff these guys are dropping.
Cue adventures in ancient Rome.
RandomHero2: Where the HELL is Seller? We're sneaking up on Romulus in his own fricking city! We need to stick together.
SuperSeller: Ancient artifacts like new! Oh I'll be EXTRA rich from this!
Cue saving the world.
RandomHero3: Gah! Brainfart's dead. Lady Kablooie is slowly making her way back from the hospital, Punching Bag is just waiting on a rez. WHERE THE HELL IS SELLER?!?
SuperSeller: Oh! Such a deal!
Facing Invincible Reichsman.
RandomHero4: Oh man. There's a bug in the temp power. We're screwed!
SuperSeller: Bah!
*Pulls a huge assault cannon out of...well...think of the children*

RandomHero4: You...one-shotted him! Where the HELL did you get that?

Small addendum as of 04/28/2011.
Right now, attempting to use the League interface to run a raid is resulting in Incarnate-level Power Lag.
Recommend using the league to initially assemble the raid, then break the league back to individual teams once you hit the monster hunt phase. -
"No phone, no tube, no Internets, not a single luxury..."
Sorry, couldn't help myself. -
IMNSHO it's something in the league interface itself. Possibly because it's sending all buffs, power icons, etc to every player in the league. Even if it's not showing them.
Was trying to run a 40+ person ship raid last night using the League interface. Horrific doesn't even begin to describe the lag. PUNCH was taking almost two minutes to properly refresh. There was massive graphics lag, and people were dying left and right.
Now, after a patch drop, ship raids are usually pretty bad but this was just the absolute worst I'd ever seen.
So what'd we do? Broke the league and resorted to individual teams.
The Ultra-lag went away IMMEDIATELY.
Now I KNOW this isn't a solution for the Praetorian raids. But it's something the devs are going to have to look into. But, in the short run, unless you're doing BAF or Lambda STAY AWAY FROM THE LEAGUE INTERFACE. -

I still think NcSoft would have made out a lot better if they would have sold this as a 7 year anniversary boost pack. There will be many people out there that will never see this vet badge as I doubt the game will go on for the next 7 years, I hope it does, but I doubt it.

One other dumb idea.
- Click on the Start button.
- Right-Click on Computer.
- Select Properties.
- Click on Device Manager
- Open up the Network Adapters section.
- Right-click on your network card.
- Select Properties.
- Look for a Power Management tab.
- If you have one, UNcheck everything on it.
- Okay your way back out.
Apparently power management for NICs in Windows can be relatively dumb and disruptive. For web browsing and e-mail, stuff that can be stopped, restarted, etc, no big deal. For something requiring continuous connections, it doesn't always work out so well.

See the post above yours - we've done 270.61, 270.51, and 267.59. They all work fine in safe mode. They will work if booted in safe mode, then increased in graphics. After an increase in graphic quality they will crash upon server select (not to the character screen yet) or while loading the map the character is on. This is using both NVidia "clean install" and Driver Sweeper to reload drivers to try to ensure they're completely uninstalled before installation.
It can't be the [general] card OR the driver OR the settings because I can do it all just fine minus the server crappiness lately and I have the same card, the 270.61 driver, and the settings much higher. (And same processor and mobo)
I'd pop the side off and make sure everything is nice and firmly seated. Then try one more time.
If that doesn't work, get on the horn immediately and talk with the system integrator. Let them know the machine is failing. YES, it MAY only be failing in this ONE game. But the fact that you have an identical machine that works just fine points out that it's unlikely to be the game that's at fault.
