Quote:Do we have confirmation from D&B yet? I just got my new calendar and want to mark it!Originally Posted by elvnsword09
I will be looking into getting a semi-private area reserved for us Saturday the 18th of February. I am going to go ahead and ask for this day off from work as well, take a leave/pass day if I need too.
I hope this day works for everyone, and thus far it seems to be an ok date, (past the mid point, on a Saturday, etc etc...) and I am taking Quasadu's advice, This is when it is, I will announce times asap...
Hope to hear confirms from you soon, I will begin advertising to the other servers en-masse when I have the confirmation from D&B.

Quote:My biggest gripe is that it shows a vastly reduced number of threads on one screen, since each one has a preview box, instead of just the title. It was a lot easier to scan through them fast when you could see 20 at a time and tell what was part of an ongoing conversation.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
Whats wrong with the dev digest showing previews by the way? I personally prefer it.

I was hit by this bug the first time I zoned.

Quote:The second one was actually cancelled because attendees started to evaporate. :-(Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
The last one of these we did was a few years ago, so another one would be nice. The first one we did at a Dave and Busters, and it worked out really well. The second one was a picnic at a park near DC that I tried to help organize, but wasn't able to attend.
I'm totally up for whatever gets planned, but I wouldn't be able to be involved in organization since it's a bit of a hike from where I am. -
My ice tanker was born with a mutation that caused his skin to draw heat from the environment around him, so the moisture in the air that gets cooled turns to ice. (Sad story: He unknowingly killed his mother when he was born, as the stress of childbirth activated the mutation and literally froze her inside as he was being born.)

What kind of router do you have? I have an ASUS that allows me to throttle everyone else that is connected and give priority to my gaming machine. It might make their Netflix run at a slightly lower resolution but I get good network traffic.

It gives UP TO a half level of XP, depending on the length of the TF. The respec trial is fast and easy, so it gives less of a reward than, say, Lady Grey. Please don't be so quick to call nerf.

Quote:That was my point - we can't recruit him in the teens when he's still the leader of the Outcasts, or in the 20s when he's working with the Freakshow. We have to wait until he's 50 and becomes a full-fledged hero.Originally Posted by Kheldarn
He's already Level 50. He shows up in the Villain Morality Mission.

Was just messing around on his map, and decided to see how long I could slide in that U shaped ice area on the stairs. I started sliding back and forth and to my amazement I slid a little higher each time, until I popped off the edge. Do you realize what this means?
Frostfire has invented a surface with a negative coefficient of friction! In other words, perpetual motion.
Forget protecting Terra Volta! Someone hire Frostfire (once he's reached level 50) and all our energy worries are over! -

Was respeccing a stalker of mine, and found that the stalker version of Darkness Mastery -> Nightfall accepts ToHit Buff IO sets instead of ToHit Debuff and Accurate ToHit Debuff sets like the rest of the Darkness Mastery powers!
(I /bugged it of course, and I'll probably have to wait for a fix to slot stuff - ToHit Buff sets are expensive, and ToHit Debuff sets are cheap!) -
You'll get your token at the end of the billing month. It was originally planned for the beginning of the billing month, but there was a problem.

Quote:Exactly. I only did this with salvages that had thousands for sale and no bidders, and my highest bid (my only bid) was 100 inf. I'm sure there are hundreds more available for 250 inf. With one of the pieces (forget which one), I started out with about 10600 for sale, and when I had exhausted all the ones for sale at 100 inf or less, there were still about 7900 for sale.Originally Posted by Tyger
I imagine most just dump their 'junk' salvage on the market because it's easier than carefully clicking in the vendor. In the above example I bought about a thousand kin weapons. The next day I logged in there were 2000 more.

Quote:Yeah, it was definitely not the most efficient way of making inf, but the character I was on had gone from 17 to 27 in a couple of days, and I needed a break from combat but didn't feel like logging off. At my peak, I estimate I was buying 150 salvage per minute.Originally Posted by Melancton
My goodness, that is dedication. Making 1.5 million that way seems like filling a swimming pool with an eyedropper. Yikes.
-
For less than 100 inf, it's been bought. I'm talking about the super common invention salvages. You know the ones, with 10000 for sale and 0 bidding. If you had it listed for 100 inf or less, I bought it yesterday. I was really bored, and wanted to see how much I could make without selling anything on the market, so I started buying commons for 100 inf and selling them for 250 inf at the vendor. 2 hours later I had purchased an estimated 10,000 pieces of salvage and made about 1.5 million inf.
So yeah, go get your inf.
(I just wish there was some way to see if I show up as a spike on the auction server logs.) -
Quote:I ran through all of the First Ward content yesterday, and it took me about 8 hours. Double that to copy and paste it all over to the wiki, and then double it again to format and include all the villain groups in the zone. It takes a LONG time to write all the wiki articles for a new Issue.Originally Posted by Dispari
Bah, she's not on the wiki yet. For shame, wiki.
See this article? http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/In-game_timeline
I spent 10-15 hours editing it and getting references in the correct format. Not even creating the page from scratch. Just editing. The First Ward content and villain groups are probably 2-3 times more data than that page.
Be patient. Or grab a hammer and start helping. -
Awesome promotion, except for the fact that it popped up in my face as I was fighting Requiem!

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks! While I may be in the market for a new graphics card, the problem may in fact be the motherboard or another part. If I turn off my computer and restart it right away, there are no POST beeps, and no monitor signal. If I let it sit off for a while, it starts up normally, or so it seems. Looks like my problem may be more complicated than a simple graphics card swap.
-
I saw that thread, but I was hoping for a more specific recommendation.
-
My graphics card apparently bit the dust overnight. Turned on my monitors this morning, and neither of them got a signal from my computer. I'd been seeing some weird graphics blips over the last couple of weeks, so it looks like the card finally failed.
So, I'm looking for recommendations for a new graphics card. I'd like to be able to run Ultra Mode at 30 fps with most of the settings turned on, and I'm treating this as my early XMas present, so I'm willing to spend a little money to get something good. I do run my system with 2 monitors, and bonus points if the card also has an HDMI port, as I'd love to be able to hook it up to my TV for streaming movies.
Suggestions? -
Quote:See my edit. If the invention system doesn't unlock until Tier 7, what's the point of the inventory bonuses at lower tiers?Originally Posted by Aggelakis
No. Without the Invention license or reward unlock, nothing having to do with the Invention system is active. No salvage drops, no recipe drops, no crafting, no slotting, nada.
