I don't think so.

Not everyone has the same bank or even the same payment method. The only common denominator is the NCSoft online store.

They've got a problem that is breaking down between ordering and charging the account for an item.


They've just got to pull their heads out of their butts and try it for themselves on a new account to see that it is seriously broken, cutting into their revenue and needs to be fixed immediately.

We can't do anything. They'll finally realize something is up when their last quarter sales figures take a nosedive, or are much lower than predicted, despite Going Rogue's release.

NO!

My 50 PB gets tips very fast off of enemies in the red area of Talos Island.
They just have to be over level 20, not any specific level in relation to yours.

Read the patch notes.

I was suggesting hunting gray bosses in the zones since they don't have to give you loot to drop a tip.

Whatever works for you though.

Yeah, physical perfection provides exactly half the values of stamina and health combined, and superior conditioning is just an endurance boost of 5 points.

You don't have to side-swap for APPs. Villains now get them automatically at 41 just like heroes.
Heroes have to transfer for the PPPs, but villains don't have to do anything.

LOL
Yeah, this is like the biggest thing that will become useless really soon.


"Good news everyone! I cured cancer...."
"....there is a bit of bad news though."
"The world is going to end in a month anyway."

LOL

I always had those settings that way. It looks great and occlusion doesn't play well with AA from what I read in MaximumPC.

Also, trying to push graphics to infinity can kill a computer. My laptop won't play squat anymore after I started WoW. It played great, easily over 60 fps, but then the "pushing to infinity", because there was no fps limit on WoW even with Vsync, hammered my computer making it overheat so bad that it won't even run that game well at 20 fps anymore.
I discovered the maxfps command thing there far too late to save my poor laptop.


Anyway, maybe I'll be able to add back the last notch of ultra mode though. I have shadows, reflections and water at the second to last notch.
All the other settings I'll probably keep as is since they're maxed already or stuff I don't want at all(only occlusion in this category).




Edit:
That Vsync thing sounds to me like it may be related to how Nvidia's 3D Vision works. That has to send 2 feeds of alternating frame 30 fps signals to a 120hz monitor to work right, which is odd considering 2 30fps feeds would logically only need 60hz.
They could be related.

Ahh, I didn't know that.

Oh well, I got a really good price and the card works wonderful for me. It also doesn't make any of the air coming out of my case hot. My stuff stays pretty cool even though it's just normal air cooling and nothing high-end.

Maybe PNY cards are just better made and cooler than the other brands. /shrug

Ok, is this graphics or system lag like frame rates dipping low but your ping staying low when you have /showfps and /netgraph up?

I've noticed my ping spiking high at really random strange times with CoH, but no graphics or system lag anymore.

By the way, your system can actually cause your internet to lag and even graphics to lag. If there is ANY bottleneck in your system which the game has to go through it will slow it down a LOT.



I echo the "replace your processor which will mean a new motherboard too" advice.

I'm definitely enjoying working on my shield brute, and I tried EM with shields before. I abandoned it because of the click mez protection of shields, but am now back.

I've also switched to kinetic as a primary because of the guaranteed debuff, which helps survivability some, and it has a lot of the good of energy melee with some new tricks.

Kinetic melee has become the new energy melee. :P
It does have about the same speed and some stuns plus now having knockback(really down because of low magnitude).

Yes, I've been fighting in hover ever since I got it on my energy aura brute and every character since as well. The defense buff is nice.

Stealth suppresses to 1.88% in combat, which Mid's is accounting for since it only shows the 1.88% suppressed value instead of the unsuppressed 3.75%(1.88x2 in combat attributes tested in game)

My build has a fast enough attack chain as I will be hard pressed to find enough room to activate all the attacks before half of them are recharged again.

I prefer better overall resistance to account for more damage types from other enemy groups or special enemies within enemy groups. Focusing on smashing and lethal is like only focusing on melee defense and leaving out AoE and ranged. That leaves big holes that can be deadly.



I was trying to build for defense in my builds over all else so I took sets that did that as best I could. I tried to pick the sets with the best bonuses with those defense bonuses, but ended up with quite a few poor bonuses.

Laser Beam Eyes is taken for another range attack, and longer range, while also being a set mule. I can sue it in case I am having trouble hitting an enemy as well to debuff them.
I can remove it and probably will now with Physical Perfection being a good possibility and a free power slot being helpful.



I just realized what you mean by "breaking the rule of 5" here. I didn't think of different sets applying the same bonus being a problem. I thought each set had a unique bonus even if it was the same value. Guess I was wrong.








I'm not dismissing your builds. I'm still learning how it really works to slot out a toon and looking for options while keeping some things.

I am set on taking flight and energy mastery for one.

I chose to take stealth and maneuvers to save a power slot from boxing or kick and for the utility while also having more defense than weave when combined even before weave or either of those powers were slotted.

I got used to energy cloak on my energy aura brute as well and liked being able to stealth on some occasions and looking ethereal. LOL


I would like to keep stealth, but it's not absolutely essential, and I definitely need to keep flight and want to keep energy mastery.






Edit:
I would have taken the fighting pool instead of maneuvers and stealth if Tough actually behaved as the detailed description says.

Tough DOES NOT provide resistance to ALL damage types as the in game detailed info says.

The combat attributes window shows it only buffing smashing and lethal despite everything else saying Tough buffs all damage resistance.
That was a huge disappointment on my energy aura brute especially since I used a vet respec because nobody wanted to help with a first respec on hero-side the times I kept trying.

If they finally fix Tough then I'll consider it a worthy power choice, but not if they just change the power info to match what it actually does. I want the buff to all damage resistance as do most people if not all.
Using a power choice just to buff those 2 types , even if they are most common, is a waste in my opinion, especially when I have to waste a choice on boxing or kick which I will never use.

I actually said those two points in case somebody wanted to use my build and doesn't want hover or fly.



I don't see where I have violated the "rule of 5". I was very careful to go back and avoid that, especially for the second build.

I need focused accuracy to get the other 2 Energy Mastery powers which I really want badly, and it provides a nice perception boost along with accuracy and a place to slot the build up proc that is always on.



I'm not going to use HOs. They're too expensive and it's still considered an exploit to raise defense debuff resistance that way.
I don't want to worry about it being taken away from me in a nerf or have the build be so good, partially because it it, that they nerf more than just that exploit. It should be more than good enough without it.


Other than that, I will be looking over your build closely to see what I can do to improve it if I want to use it more than my own.



Edit:
I see now how I can break the rule of 5. I didn't understand it at first.


Edit 2:
I had not thought about combat jumping with hover. I would like to avoid another power pool though if I do go with the fighting pool because it would mean a power choice lost elsewhere and that would not make me happy.


Edit 3:
I like your build. It's pretty close to what I want. I am likely to change a couple slots, but I like it.
I may even be tempted to use HOs, but probably won't because I've never ever been within a mile of the inf cap they probably cost on the AH.

1) Now that you mention it, I have noticed one syndicate mission where two ambushes spawn immediately after exiting an elevator when they should be more spread out than 10 seconds.

I believe it was the one where you are after Octavian, but I'm not sure.


2) I tend to not have an issue with them copying my power sets because they usually get the suboptimal powers and aren't as well buffed/enhanced. I do have an issue with some like my PB where they get the energy form or intangible or whatever power and seem to freeze up. It makes them hard to talk to and finish the mission like when tryign to clear my name after facing Silent Blade.

Half the game would be filled with unfun horrible missions then if everybody just said "whatever" and moved on without alerting anyone to an issue.

If you don't care about the game enough to complain about it's problems then the game will become a piece of crap that you won't care about at all.

Thank you!


Edit:
Odd. It limits it to about 63 fps. It's better but behaves exactly like the other game that I played. Strange how a set value doesn't actually mean it will be the value you think.

Low level players, who need streak breaker more than anyone, also have almost no option to deal with it.


You know what?

Accuracy is finite in a power. The only difference is the value attached tot he enhancements available to you and the amount of powers you can choose.

Why do accuracy enhancements start out so worthless like every other enhancement?

When you need accuracy so badly at the lower levels you can't even enhance for it, so they had to add an overall buff to everybody that decreases with level until accuracy enhancers level up to where they should be.



Why don't they just make accuracy enhancements apply a higher value early in the game?

Players wouldn't just be automatically given an accuracy buff. They would still be encouraged to learn about slotting and do so to improve their accuracy.

Maybe accuracy enhancers could start at 20% buff instead of 8% on a TO.

8% is pitiful and practically useless.You need to use 3 of them to get anywhere, but then you have the problem of no endurance reduction which you need just as much and is just as pitiful at early levels.

No wonder everyone wants Stamina earlier.



Accuracy and endurance are major issues early on because they're absolutely essential yet the enhancements are almost worthless.



Why don't they increase the values all of those give early on without increasing the values they give at 50?

That would keep the maximum balanced, especially with ED still here, while improving the minimum to useful levels.



Can anybody tell me why that would be a bad idea?
