    HeroCon 2011

    Well, they've already started rounds on various cons this year.

    So I'm expecting no HeroCon.

    Honestly, if they were going to do it, I'd ask for one thing. A LOT OF LEAD TIME. With all the previous HeroCons, the lead time on them was a few months. Unfortunately I can't work with those timeframes. Especially for a jaunt from Chicago to the left coast. Heck, even MIDWEST cons I go to are planned and budgeted for almost a full year in advance.

    One other thing, this year, I hope they finally hit a Midwest con. There were members of Paragon at GenCon last year. But not in an official "we're doing something" capacity.

    I know, I know. The coastal cons are easier for them to get to. Yadda yadda yadda. It's still acting as if nobody in the corn belt actually gets away from their plowing to game.
  3. I done goofed?

    We all done goofed!

  5. Okay, had one random crash tonight. No OGL error, just a crash.

    Will give this a few days to see if the driver setting helped. Then I'll try the registry setting.

    What would really punch it up I think would be to get her soul storm attack on the bar since it's made up of long thin horizontal-ish bolts it should fit.

    Yeah, took the big GW dark background image I use for my desktop and modified it. And yeah, WISH there was a version of the image spewing the Soul Storm.

    Who do I have to shoot for the artwork?

    Its a judgment call,
    Holy crap! It worked!

    because while there are situations where Aid Self can't be reliably used, to ignore it would be potentially significant because its so strong. I should also point out that sets without terrorize protection can find themselves unable to use even non-interruptable heals like Energize.

    I normally count Aid Self when talking about comparing builds and what they can do in-game, particularly when there is strong evidence that Aid Self would actually work in the circumstances being discussed, like if Aid Self is part of an actual in-play build. I usually ignore it when talking about powerset to powerset abstract comparison, like balance ones.
    Agreed.
  11. Also I looked up the registry edit you mentioned. Not going to try it YET. But here it is.


    NOTE: This is risky, because you have to edit the registry, which can mess up your computer if done wrong.
    You should make a backup before you try this!


    1. Goto registry editor (start -> run -> regedit)
    2. Navigate yourself to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\GraphicsDrivers\(make sure GraphicsDrivers is highlighted).
    3. Right click -> New -> DWORD (32-bit) value -> Name it: TdrDelay -> double click it -> Set it to A (hexadecimal) or 10 (decimal).

    If that doesn't work, try disabling it, by adding the following DWORD: TdrLevel and setting the value to 0, then rebooting.
  12. No. Didn't see that fix. Have implemented it now and will see how it does.

    Thanks for the heads-up!

    And, because of my card, I can't roll back to older drivers.

    1. Log into the game.
    2. Log in on any character.
    3. Click on Menu -> Options
    4. Click on the Graphics and Audio tab.
    5. Scroll down to the audio section.
    6. Check the slider for Sound FX Volume.

    Likely you have the Effects volume turned way down (or off).

    No, you're not level 51. I know this, because I know level 51 doesn't exist. But BECAUSE level 51 doesn't exist, then the only two conclusions I can draw from you claiming to be level 51 are A) that you made a typo listing your level or B) that you are level 50 with one level shift.

    I think you're making this:

You were lucky to not get hit.

    Of course, with Invulnerability, you should also be hard capped to S/L damage. So even if she did hit you, it should have only tickled.
    Well, considering Hyperstrike is above 50% S/L with one enemy in range, he's slightly safer against someone sporting monster +ToHit than someone who's at 45% exact.

    When you whack down Neuron first right?

    If so, again, she never touched me. Then again, my team was ridiculously damage-heavy. So it's not like there was a lot of time for her to take swipes at me.
