hmm... I think it's pretty clear, too. I think the answer is NEW players. But I'm guessing you mean something different so maybe it's not so clear.

Because they don't see the need to give everyone free storage.
And "tiny"? Download some of the animated GIFs people use and see how "tiny" they are.

Who made the cards? An "nVidia card" or "ATI card" refers to the GPU (the chip that does the work). Other companies manufacture the cards. For example, my nVidia card was manufactured by EVGA.

And yeah, if you had 8 cards in a row die, my first guess would be that it's you or your computer and not the cards.

Actually, it is. Let me state the blindingly obvious: your experience is far from typical. We get plenty of trial account players in here asking questions about gameplay, indicating that they installed and got into the game just fine.


Now for the bad news. Your CPU is a bit underpowered, you're kind of low on RAM, but your video card is GROSSLY underpowered for this game. This wouldn't affect installation but that card won't be able to run the game well.

Who are you again?

hmm.... I guess there was some rumor of general dissatisfaction....

This BS again? We had this in a thread about making names non-unique.

Just because someone disagrees with your position doesn't mean they are greedy / stupid / mean and nasty / whatever. Why don't you entertain the notion that people like or dislike your idea on its own merits, rather than it being all about them.

Right. The drops ARE weighted for 'usefulness'; i.e. ranged damage sets will drop more often than sleep sets. But it's based on the game population as a whole and your character AT is not a consideration.

One? Guess again.
When you get hit by a geyser, right-click the icon to bring up the power information. The numbers are just NUTS. It's something like:
100% chance of mag 6 knockback
75% chance mag 12 knockback
50% chance of mag 18 knockback
etc.

I don't recall the numbers, but I think it can exceed mag 60. If I'm remembering correctly from when I did that mission, you'd need 6 break frees to 'probably' resist the knockback.

Wrong. Well, for some powers. Using superspeed and running at high speed into a geyser would be bad. Walking into a geyser with superjump active will not throw you off-course and will let you steer in mid-air.

Basically, the geyser flings you through the air and any power that gives 'air control' is helpful (SJ, CJ, IR, etc). Having flight as a back-up is very useful.
"Oops, I'm going to miss my target."
<click flight on and you are immediately hovering>

To be perfectly honest, I don't. You're absolutely right that keeping 7 other characters constantly speed boosted is a nuisance - so I don't. My first priority is anyone with endurance issues, followed by the most 'bang for the buck' - if we have one AoE blaster, I'll keep that person SB'ed.

Yeah, I would ask. Never having used the program, I'm not sure if it's rule-breaking or not.


Really, it depends on the power of your system if you need it at all. If you do use the command, you might as well use it on both accounts. Whichever one you currently have selected will run at full FPS. Only the inactive one will have the frame rate reduced. If you want to force one instance to run at a lower frame rate at all times, you can use the /maxfps command.

From their web site:
It sounds like it would allow you to automate, or partially automate, one or both accounts. If I am interpreting the program capability correctly, this is explicitly prohibited by the EULA. In fact, there was a big post about account security that mentioned botting as a sure way to get your account permanently banned.

This message brought to you by the dude who has already canceled his account and now just posts to flame people.

Simple enough question.
NO. And a simple enough answer.

If *YOU* are having trouble teaming, feel free to ferry to Freedom (say that 10 times fast). You have 3 days left for the free transfers.

I'm guessing you're not in Canada, then.

hmm.... I'd make a Fainting Watchman if we had a 'collapse in a heap' emote.

hmm.... the article itself sounds like it was written by someone with an axe to grind.

Fixed that for you.

And just how do we manage this? We need an entire stable of characters with XP turned off to play the task forces with greater difficulty? Not a viable workaround.

Actually, based on my reading of the various threads, I think the majority opinion is that people prefer the system the way it is. I think most people don't care *WHY* someone can't get the name they want (resulting in forum posts). We (I put myself in this group) just want the system to stay the way it is because we think it's BETTER.

Not because we're greedy jerks.
Not because we enjoy that some people struggle to find names they like.
Not because we're contrary.
We honestly think this is the best way to handle character naming.

Also, and this should be BLATANTLY OBVIOUS, we're still playing the game and have just as much chance as anyone else of having our first choice unavailable the next time we make a character. We just feel this is an acceptable trade-off for the benefit of unique names.

You might as well stop right there.

Sailboat's OPINION is that the uniqueness of a name has inherent value.
Your OPINION is that it does not.

For either of you to try to 'correct' the other is just stupid.

Yes, we get that just fine.
Where we have a difference of OPINION, is that some of us think this is a good thing for the game, while you clearly think it is not.

That's our logic - we feel that having unique names is BETTER FOR THE GAME. Unfortunately, I can't see any way to gather evidence either for or against this opinion.
