Kitsune Knight

At least in the past, Freedom did have more hardware behind it than any of the other servers (meaning that it was harder for it to go yellow/red than the other servers generally). But, since I last saw that said by a red name, they've done a number of server upgrades, and there was that period of a couple months where everyone was able to use some number of transfers every week for free, so I'm not sure if that's still the case anymore.


You can definitely get on iTrials easily on Freedom, I've been on many. And, as has been said, they generally form in Pocket D (as it won't be interrupting any MRP like it would on Virtue )

Those old stores still exist, but, you could just go to the Rikti War Zone and buy them there (IIRC, for less as well!). Probably can also buy 'em in Cimerora as well. And Villain side never had the origin-contact-stores.

And, considering the subject of this thread is about which is the most survivable, actually debating the merits is... you know... a good way to actually gain a better understanding (even if the ultimate truth is not found).


I like Regeneration. That doesn't mean that if I had posted /regen, and someone comes in and shows that it doesn't perform all that well compared against others in based on any form of evidence other than simple opinion, that they somehow assaulted me.

The Scrapper forum has a reputation for actually running numbers. If you're going to post a claim, you better either have numbers that can in some way back it up, or not be bothered that someone else might post numbers that disprove your statement.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a Dev actually respond to one of those once... needless to say, the OP still was willing to accept what they said.


Yay for threadjacks! I sometimes wish the mods would just go through and close all the threads that have had the original reason resolved... but then I realize, where would I get so much of my entertainment?

I remember hearing about BABs coming alive before. Ghost Witch has done the same thing in Pocket D... although, at least in her case, she deleted the NPC from the current instance's map and placed her character in that same spot (based on what I remember of her explanation), so it would look like the NPC just came alive.

This was likely way before they had anywhere near the tech to actually do it the way they currently do it.

Aett_Thorn listed DOs/SOs... didn't see you "correcting" him

Yin-Os aren't particularly well known anymore (anyone that wasn't playing much immediately after the Faultline revamp probably isn't even aware of them). Yin-Os, unlike DOs/SOs, actually have a functional difference depending on origin, and not just a flavor-description/icon/name as well as what enemies drop which.

An 8800 Ultra? The Cedar Mill P4 would probably be able to handle it (8800 Ultra is from mid '07, Cedar Mill from the start of '06, so it's not like they're that far apart generation-wise). Even then, I would consider any Pentium 4 'bottom tier' (being generous with that description), seeing as Intel totally abandoned that line in 2008, so the only ones you can get are ones that have set on a shelf for several years, seeing as no one wants them. They were sub-par processors back when they were king, and they're no better now.


Of course, I did say "long as you buy something above the bottom tier CPUs"! You would be pretty hard pressed to make an argument that a P4 isn't bottom tier in this day and age!

Again, long as you don't get a bottom-of-the-barrel processor, you'll be fine.*


*No, an ARM Cortex A8 does not count! Nor do XMOS processors, even if for <$8 you can run 8 threads at once!

More so that it's pretty much completely rubbish. Long as you buy something above the bottom tier CPUs (I'm including laptop/netbook processors in this!), you'll be completely fine. A better rule of thumb would be "Don't buy atom" (and whatever the AMD equivalent is now called, forget whether it was Llano or if that was the lower mid range or blah blah blah).
