    Okay, I'm part of a fire/rad team and I'm looking for suggestions.

    Things to note.
    The IOs aren't there yet. Currently SO'ed.
    The build will be level-locked at L35.

    I'm looking for suggestions to possibly improve this build. What you see here is just a tentative poke at min-maxing raw base stats.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Okay just finished a relatively smooth TV Respec Trial (L30) tonight.

    We had one small "hiccup" with a complete mapserv that reset the final reactor mission (we all thought each of us had mapserved individually, thus boning the group).

    Otherwise the run went almost flawlessly. 4 Fire/Rads and we just cut them apart.



    And someone's going to call me on being 3 days and no sleep and STILL not going to bed after saying I would. Drugs haven't kicked in ye....

    If any of you are willing to take the lead on this, shoot him an e-mail at beefcake at badge-hunter dot com.

    Me, I'm about completely and utterly fried. Been up over 48 hours and STILL cannot sleep.

    Time to get out the cast iron skillet

    Ugh, it's sad really. To use the internet we have to install multiple programs and disable features and stuff. And this is the future :\

    Okay, the payout on non-click-thru ads is disgustingly low. You'd have to be a traffic magnet something like Slashdot or Google to see appreciable cash out of them.

    I have no problem subsidizing sites that want to put these type of ads up, but frankly, the cost bandwidth I consume simply pulling in the ad outstrips how much the site will make off the page view.

    I do, however, REFUSE to subsidize sites that are (even by accident) serving up crapware infections like Wikia and the VidiotMaps site are serving. The one from VidiotMaps advertiser is exceptionally annoying because you have to go through about three popup confirmations before it'll let you close the page down.

    64bit Memory Leak?

    Out of curiosity, checked the memory usage during the most recent crash... yep, signs point to a memory leak with 1.6Gb memory being used.

    Is this a known issue? Is it a game or video driver issue?

    Using Win7 64bit Professional.
    Well, it's known that the game client leaks memory. With systems with lower memory, the game just eventually grinds to a halt which is a way of screaming "restart me!" On systems with lots and lots of memory, you start running into the upper limit for 32-bit apps. Technically each 32-bit app will be given up to 2GB of memory. However, once you start getting above 1.5GB, I've noticed a LOT of 32-bit apps become unstable.

    I've been having this issue with XP 64 for most of the time I've played.
    Essentially a couple hours of heavy play (with lots and lots of power effects going off) and I really need to re-log. Even /reloadgfx only puts it off temporarily. It's become a lot more prevalent since the advent of power customization though. A Rikti ship raid or a Rikti invasion and I re-log just to be safe.

    I'm hoping that they do some work on optimizing the game client for GR and Ultra Mode, or it's going to be a fargin' mess.

    The only problem I have with this is the confusion of EndMod with EndRed.

    What you're essentially proposing here is removing the need for EndMod (which is, essentially, endurance recovery) by massively buffing EndRed (endurance consumption reduction).

    First off, that'd have to be a HELL of a buff. It'd also probably wind up making at least the tier-1 attack effectively zero end like brawl.

    It'd probably also lead to more buzzsaw builds. Right now, the current EndRed limits on powers set limits on how fast and long you can attack before running out of End, even on builds with massive recovery.

    You'd probably see a glut of high-recharge builds as well too, as reduced endurance expenses would make this type of build EXTREMELY attractive.

    What we'd also probably see at the same time would be a huge nerf on endurance replenishment powers (like Transference), either in terms of recharge time or amount of endurance given.

    I've shot the site admins a notice about the problems with their ad provider.

    Hopefully they find some way to correct it or do without the ads.

    Thanks for the warning. Wikia now thoroughly...bit-bucketed...at all sites I admin from.

I'll try to sit down and write the thank-yous and update the ledger tonight. I can't emphasize how much I appreciate those donations, they really help in defraying the hosting costs. I'm hoping that in addition to a thank-you note, I'll be able to show my appreciation to the community a little more tangibly in the near future, but I digress.
    That reminds me. Tax season and some free cash...

    It's kind of funny, though. When we left Wikia, their attitude was pretty much, "I know that you think you're going to make a ton of money on the site by hosting the advertising yourself, but we assure you that it's not that easy. You'll barely make a pittance."
    Well, technically, they're right.

    I kept telling them, "I'm not in this for the money. In fact, I'm willing to pay to have this resource available in a non-obtrusive manner." I don't know if they just didn't believe me or if they couldn't wrap their brain around the concept of the Paragon Wiki being a community project, not a business.
    Probably a bit of both, but mostly the latter. They're still trying to relive the days of "We're going to have a business selling [INSERT HERE] ON THE INTERNET!" and having people just throw cash at them with minimal effort.

    Quote:
    At any rate, I can honestly say that we have never regretted the decision to re-host the site ourselves.
    Good for you. I did the same thing with my own sites years ago. Even spent 10 years co-locating servers for "complete" control. So I can sympathize.

    You're missing the point. If the person has all 36 slots ALREADY filled...

    Sorry about missing it guys. Some doofus (no naming names... ) doesn't "get" the concept of something hard like TIME ZONES.

    As such, I showed up an hour late.

    New Origin Idea

    POST-ACTION

    Okay, I came up with a really cutting, obscene /jranger that was completely topical and set to the theme of "The Love Boat".

    Then I decided to stay succinct.

    New Term:

    Altzheimers (altz-hy-merz): A condition prevalent in games allowing multiple player avatars, where the player forgets how to play one or more of the particular avatars.

    Example: "I'll just run in and grab aggro for the team. Wait, I'm on my blaster, OH CR*DEAD*"

    DAMMIT! >.<

    Never said it wasn't painful too, as emotions aren't binary in their expression.

    Heck, I even got a laugh on the way over to comfort my grandmother and mom as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" came on the radio.

    Maybe I'm just sick and twisted. But I'd rather be able to laugh at something then become a complete, somber *** about it.

    On the contrary. Death is a VERY funny subject.

    The fact that some people are completely terrified by (and unable to deal with) the IMPLICATIONS of death has nothing to do with whether or not the subject can be considered "comedy gold".

    And the return engagement was successful right away!

    Link takes you to the gallery and the full-size images (1920x1080)




    From left to right:

    Blastion (Me)
    Siig Vikshus
    Mrs. Icy Jen
    Impyre
    Aletia
    Doc Jen
    Bike Thief
    Scrappy McBlaster

    Nice and smooth most of the way through. Only three close calls.

    Had a bad pull right at first with the four hench-AVs.
    I happened to duck in to drop a Burn patch just as Fish Lips dropped an AoE on us (survived).
    And Imp got himself Soul Stormed (but survived).
