Ironblade

Although it is worth pointing out that the enhanced graphics in GR are optional. If your system is not powerful enough, they can be turned off.

Yeah.....

That didn't last long, did it?

Settle down! Or do I have to put my couter upside your coif?

CoH and CoV are the same game. There is no bandwidth difference. The CoV *ZONES* are more graphically complex. That's why your older computer chokes.

The cat stuck in the blinds.

And I thought my badging was out of control.

That sounds like a reasonable number. That probably won't let you run Going Rogue at max settings, but it's vastly beyond what you would need for surfing the web.

I'm curious, though; "insane" how? Are you surprised the number was that high or that low? Frankly, I'm amazed at how computers keep getting cheaper while increasing exponentially in processing power. My first computer had a Z80 CPU with a clock speed of 2MHz, 48KB of RAM and a 104KB storage drive. It cost nearly $2,000 and that was over THIRTY YEARS AGO so that was big bucks. Today, you can get a computer with a CPU 1000x faster, 20,000x as much memory and a drive ONE MILLION times larger - for around $300.

P.S. I build my own computers and will be building a new one early next year. My target cost (having done minimal research at this point) is about $1400 for a system that can beat up Going Rogue and take its lunch money.

Technically, no.
2 for the WL to spawn the gate.
Nothing for the 3 Guardians.
8 for the big guy himself. (Plus 20 candy canes.)

So once you get in the Realm, there's no 'partial credit'. If you don't manage to defeat the Lord of Winter - you get zilch.

Inane pop music sells, though. Can you name the artist who had the highest grossing tour in 2009 by any solo artist? Britney Spears.

Because it rhymes that way. Just like 'butcher, baker and candlestick-maker'.


Do not want.
Why? Jack of all trades and master of none. I *LIKE* specialized characters. If I want a decent fighter, I have them. If I want a character who is weak on his own but makes a team unstoppable (and I *DO*), I have those too.


No.
Since we're talking about people who directly oppose the bad guys, let's make a comparison with soldiers. Is every one of them a marksman? Some don't even carry a weapon. If a soldier is a doctor, do his comrades leave him to die if he can't "survive long enough to level up"? Or do they work as a team?

1) Value is entirely subjective.
2) To directly answer your question, "No." Of course, this is completely irrelevant. The real question is whether they are worth $10. To me, yes.


I figured you would end up here eventually. Anyone who doesn't agree with you is stupid. Right.

1) Do, or do not. There is no 'try'.
2) The only time people say "I tried." is when they have failed.

Oh, one more thing worth mentioning - while I said I don't use Taunt that much, I only have 1 tank WITHOUT Taunt and 3 tanks WITH Taunt. In my opinion, it's often useful and, on rare occasions, vital.

It varies. I've seen it start at nearly 5 minutes and under 2. (i.e. the timer starting value is based on some factor other than the defeat of the Winter Lord.)

As long as you stuff WHAT?

You noticed that choppiness on both cable and DSL because the difference in available bandwidth has NOTHING to do with it.

Having said that, one connection might be better than the other. You might want to try one connection and type /netgraph 1 in the chat line. That will give you some graphical and numeric information about the quality of your connection. Then switch to the other and try the same thing.

Type /netgraph 0 to turn it off.

And, following the example of my previous post, go ahead and post that word and see what happens. That would be choosing to behave inappropriately and you would be punished. But why? It's only a word.

This is true.

But it does not change the fact that each individual can choose for themselves whether or not to act like a jerk, based on prevailing community standards.

Player A can be a jerk to Player B, who laughs it off and isn't bothered in the slightest.
Player A can be a jerk to Player C, who is enraged by it.
In both cases, Player A is choosing to be a jerk.

Why am I not surprised?

er... $20, not $40.

And, as I said in another thread, if you're actually getting ANGRY about something that doesn't directly affect you, you need to take a step back and get a grip. Why in hell would you be getting angry when Paragon Studios releases a booster pack? Good lord, man, just don't buy it.


Here's a clue: you don't know what you're talking about. I guess more than TRIPLING the game staff doesn't count as spending money on the game, huh?


And we keep paying because we're all stupid, mindless zombies? Guess again. *WE* like the booster packs. Not everyone does, but the people who keep buying them; we're the ones who LIKE them.


No, that article is BS written by someone with an axe to grind. He reveals his bias immediately: "Farming, levelling up alts, and badge earning are basically three of the only fun things to do in the game. " This guy is all about farming and power-leveling (he's specifically referring to speed of leveling in AE). AE wasn't catering to HIM so it sucks.

Anyway, if it's time to go, it's time to go. No game is going to appeal to everyone. If you really aren't enjoying this one, then stop spending your money on it.

Edelweiss has yodeling.
Of course, yodeling shows up in lots of kinds of music.

um... When you say "end sapper", do you mean that it uses a lot of end or that it steals end? When people talk about a 'sapper build', they mean that it drains end from the enemies.

Assuming you were referring to endurance USAGE, ice armor is is a walk in the park. It doesn't cost too much END and then you get a power (Energy Absorption) that boost your END (yes, by stealing it from the enemies around you). It also boosts your defense so it's really a key power.

Dark armor is much harder on your endurance. It has more toggles and no +END power. My dark armor tank took dark melee so he has Dark Consumption to boost his END.
