And on the flip side

"Want a buff?"
"Y"*DEAD!*

"Want a buff?"
"N"*DEAD!*

The rage over minutiae like this is merely a sign one has nothing better to do.

If you want to solo, solo a mission.
If you want to be left alone, solo a mission.
If you want to test a new build, test it in a clean environment (see "solo a mission").
If you want to test tactics, test it in a mission.

VERY simple. If you're out in a public zone, expect interacting with other players.

(See: "Well duh".)

No, but damning people for giving in to the samaritan instinct is poor form...at best.

You DO realize you're talking about someone who is playing a GAME right?

Massively MULTIPLAYER Online Role Playing Game

If you want to be left alone, go play GTA or something. Or *gasp*, use an instanced mission.

Fighting mobs out in the open in a zone is implicit consent to interaction with other players (including buffs).

In other words "Just lay back and try to enjoy it".

...

Now that I've delved into a completely inapproriate meme...

Statement of the obvious? Check!

They're not "playing it for you". And the fact that you look on it as such shows the lack of objectivity on the issue.

So, when they try to grab the mouse and keyboard away from you, put a fist in their face. Until then, they're simply doing something you're giving tacit consent to SIMPLY BY BEING IN THE GAME IN A PUBLIC ZONE.

They have no control over what does or does not annoy you.

YOU do. Again, if you don't want to be "annoyed", do your thing in a mission instance. Quick, easy, simple. Absolutely no nerdrage required.

It'd be a woefully inefficient use of inf though. Now, granted, if someone is pulling in several billion a week, I could see.

And this is why I'd support it.


Maybe I misunderstand what you're trying to say, but the current rate IS 500:1.

Anyone else in your SG? Anyone who might have gotten the badge?

I'll correct it. You have to obtain the last exploration badge necessary for the teleporter beacon, you have to access the Rikti Mothership during a raid.

So while you may not be participating in the raid per-se, you're taking advantage of the fact that there is a raid going on.

Honestly, I wouldn't waste the time or money going after a laptop to play UM. While it may be super-schmexy and all, the return is relatively small for the massive cash-outlay it would require.

Now, if you want a laptop that'll run maxed in REGULAR mode, that would be well within your budget and eminently doable by a large number of laptops out there.

If you want portable play, go for a laptop and to hell with top-end graphics.

If you want top-end graphics, get a desktop.

Still, I'd not say "no" to bringing the prestige conversion to (or nearly to) par with the prestige award ratio.

The problem is, BOTH are trainers right now.

Numina. She's essentially a spirit whose body was destroyed.

lol!

We're not asking you. You're putting forth an opinion that a lot of people are disagreeing with.

Since you're on an account registered in the last couple months...when would that have been? Or are you not posting from your primary account for a reason?



End? What EXACTLY are you talking about? The game is due for a major expansion in the relatively near future. Merging the servers would accomplish nothing but chasing even more people off. Re-read Memphis Bill's quoted post again for the reason.

That's just it. People don't WANT CoH to be "what it used to be" (unless they're PVP'ers of course...). They want it to IMPROVE. Cutting down the number of servers would NOT be an improvement.

You didn't ask for specificity. Just the opinion.

This to the infinite power.

I play on Protector. It's a low-to-middling population server. I CAN say that.

I play on Freedom as well as lower pop servers. It shouldn't happen. And it doesn't need to happen. PERIOD!

Translation: I can pull numbers from my rectum too.

You have no way of knowing "only" 900 people are on. And if he said 2000 people were on you'd be using that, with an "only" tacked onto the front.

This is you talking from le rectum again. You don't know this. You have ZERO way of knowing this. Sorry.

Sorry, but the dev team doesn't work to YOUR schedule.

In short, you're holding your hands over your ears and going LALALALALA!

You have my condolences. And welcome back!

Someone evidently believes they need to be inundated with blind invites the nanosecond they log on.

This is one of the reasons I laugh at "gaming NICs". Especially for home users with only a couple devices between them and their provider's network. On a really noisy network, yeah, they'll eke out a few seconds lower ping in twitch games. For everything else, they may as well be using an integrated NIC and just setting port priorities on your router.

Don't take my word for it though.

It's a case of spend it now and get greater usable longevity out of the base system.

Yeah, they're paying a premium, but buying another computer in 3 years as opposed to 5 is a hell of a price premium too.

You may need to look at a different case. The case you're using is about quarter of an inch deeper (front bezel to back plate) than the Antec Sonata cases. And those BARELY fit cards the size of the 250 (found out the hard way with a Sonata case of my own) with the hard drives slid in sideways (rather than front to back). You're very likely to have problems fitting your components.

Not sure how big you want to go. But my advice is to do yourself a favor. Get yourself a roomier case and don't hassle with trying to play component Tetris.

This is the case I built my latest system with. The system went together in 20 minutes. My previous system which was virtually identical (save for a Sonata 3 case) took almost 3x as long due to trying to fit everything in neatly. And replacing components in such a case? It's more expensive than the case you selected, but it's a case of "get what you paid for".

I get the same behavior with my WinXP 64 box. The only think hooked up via USB is the mouse.

Now I just play on speakers with the sound turned down. It just sucks that I have to.

No, because blasters aren't Melee/Melee either. They depend on their ranged attacks and have a couple of OH *BLEEP!* melee powers if their enemies close on them.

This would simply be a blapper who has no recourse but to run into mobs that'll make hash of him because he CAN'T damage them any other way.

No, no, a googolplex of infinity times no!

From what I understand, there's a reason there's not.

During CoV's development, they were focusing on leaner, tighter storytelling because people were complaining about lengthy, drawn-out arcs sending you to the four corners of the city, then to go looking for a few extra misplaced corners.

With CoV, they got exactly what they designed for. It's just that NOW, with the way the merit system focuses on "time spent", such short arcs simply don't deliver the amount of merits some of the "don't plan on anything for the next X hours" arcs blue-side do.

Look at the Barracuda SF (30 merits) vs the Khan TF (20 merits).

Why? Because you've suddenly remembered that cattle prod you have stowed under your desk?

I, for one, welcome our new combat-oriented mystically-enabled neopagan overlady...

Next up, a taskforce consisting SOLELY of zone raids!

Need a minimum of 24 players to start.

You DO realize oxygen burns don't you?
