  1. Did I miss the answer to the O/P's question? It is very likely I may have saved enough for a new computer myself (after 2 1/2 years, damn tanking economy) and was wondering the same things.

    Radeon 5850 for ~$300


    Right now I'm trying to figure out where the "sweet spot" is - not spending too much, but not spending too little, either. And right now, I'm not quite sure which is the best value.

    So, does it appear worth the extra money to go to a 5850 or, for the same price, cross-fire 5770's, or just save the $100 or so and get a 5830 instead?

    Gratz. Defenders seem to take me forever to level, even my emp who was always the fair queen of the team invite.

    STF Bugged?

    Didn't have the analyzer power but we ran this the other day and we could barely touch GW and had to quit. We might have had too many scrappers and too much melee because, on top of her regen, she was healing 3,000 HP x2 whenever her power came up, which seemed like every 15 seconds or so.

    If she's regening at 3k then it becomes imperative that a cold def comes along to slow that down a bit.
  4. Got to team on my son's, still a work in progress, tank on an STF with a couple of board names including PownsU. We couldn't get past GW after the kin left but that was a really fun run. (Even aside from the first timers to that run.)

    Just don't mess with the Shaqtus and we'll all be alright.
  7. Probably done already, and I'm still at work.

    that's how it looks to me now! (well, better on my son's computer, but still ...)
  9. <-- Didn't notice a difference, only that things went faster.

    We had 3 defenders on the yellow taunt and almost had a controller out for tanking. Even the new tanks did fine.


    (warning. I plan on bringing my son's tank next week so prepare for hillarity.)

    Good luck with the channel. Been tried and failed before. I think it is better to have blue and red side channels, that way someone playing blue side can see a red side team starting and choose to switch. I think villain channels are self defeating because you get an even smaller population listening.

    Anyway, hope you prove me wrong and it is a huge success.

    Just the pigg files. All the folders should have been set up with the initialization.
  12. Nice stories. I've never been 10mil generous but I do drop lvl 50 enhancements on lowbee characters running around atlas.

    Darh Vader? Is he related to Darth Vader? Or maybe, this guy perhaps?


    Hello everyone. Greetings and salutations from sunny SoCal where the weather today is in the 70's.

    Doh! Reading failure. Thanks Tripp, yes they are "or" s.

    Sometimes invite emails fall through the cracks, though.

    A) Not true. Some on test right now are no more than 3 year vets. I think only B & C, plus being in good standing, meet their requirements.

    Me personally, I think the dev's are more Dwarf people and have an inherant prejudice against elves. Hope you can just "log in". That would be interesting.

  22. Can we wait until the weekend for the full party? It's going to be in the 70's here then.


    Hello everyone. Just wandering through on my way back to work.

  23. Hello Everyone.

    Glad you got your account fixed bpp. I cringe at what might happen if something like that would happen to me.

    *sits with a nice warm chai tea*


    i need my 5 minutes. This week will be a crazy madhouse for me.

    (and thanks for the AV run Fedor. Half way through I'm thinking, "My tank is a lot tougher than I remember." Then I remembered we also had an ice defender. Max Def ftw. Not much like seeing a mob of 20 all fire blasters at you and you take .... no damage. )
  24. Saw you posting for this. Grats on finishing. a 20 people hami raid is quite an achievement.
