    Well, it IS Infinity. So an Infinite Halloween event doesn't sound so out of place really.

    I'm quite aware of why and when the fog rolls in. I had seen several people talk about it but hadn't seen it myself that I realized. When I saw Arwen's screenshot, I realized that the 1 time I saw what I thought was a graphical glitch it was really an intended effect. As to why I didn't see it the rest of the time, I have no idea. I still have my graphical settings pretty well maxxed out on Test. I only change them on Live for Ship Raids and Hami Raids.

    Probably doesn't mean definitely. If he doesn't know it's broken with Super Strength, he wouldn't have tested it most likely and it may still be broken.

  7. PM BackAlleyBrawler. He occaisionally pops in here to look at things, but he's got too many places to have to watch right now to guarantee he'll pop in.

    Even my invocation of his name won't bring him. IF he does vanity searches, he'll just see my name next to it and say "again he talks about me?" but won't look in most likely.

    At least I know that for sure on one of the LW Realm maps.

    Are you saying that when you chose "hospital" it took you off of the LW Realm map?
    No. I'm saying I didn't hit the Hospital button because I didn't know there was a Hospital in the LW Realm. I was afraid of going to the AP Hospital and not being able to get back to the rest of my team.

    In hindsight, I should have Hosp'd it, and then bugged it if it took me to a zone where I couldn't return to the fight.

    Bad tester, TJ. Bad tester.

Have been running that ever since without a problem. But then, if money is no object for you, I'm sure a GTX 260 would be even better!
    Well, if money is no object, a GTX 295 would be even betteer than the GTX 260. And if money is really no object, run two of them in SLI mode.
  11. Did you bug it? I'd recommend also sending PM's to Arbiter Kim and Ghost Falcon about it.

    Well, thanks really go to Arwen. I stole it from her Photobucket gallery.

    That's the kind of thing that happens when you don't have the share permissions set right.





    Judging by the comments I've gotten from some on Facebook, and from Arwen, I don't think she really minds that much right now.



    I really need to post something where I know Arbiter Fabulous would see it and ask for his opinion on it.

    I spent close to 3 minutes running around in FF doing these short hops once I spotted them.

    So far, I haven't found anything I don't like about Ninja Run. Well, maybe one thing, we need more selectable poses for the run portion.

    Except, that's not what happened. For it to have worked like you stated it they would have had to turn off the Rep system entirely, not just remove the Comments section from the UserCP.

    You and I and everyone else can still enjoy the little Rep game, except for those of us that considered reading the comments as part of the game. Sure, we can still read them if we slog through all of our posts clicking each one, but that's rather tedious and time consuming. And in some people's opinion, not worth it.

    As an example, I've had people post rep on a post that was well over a month ago and in a thread that has been inactive for over a month so isn't on the first page even with an expanded listing of threads. To be able to read comments, how far back am I going to have to check?

    Either disable it entirely, disable the ability to post comments if you aren't going to let us easily see them, or just put it back the way it was and deal with the PM's. If people are abusing the PM system with needless PM's about negative rep comments, let them know that the comments are within the forum guidelines and after two such notices warn them that further PM's about rep comments that follow the forum guidelines will be met with a temporary ban of the complainer's account.

    that what i though nothing.
    Someone wielding a Broadsword seems pretty natural to me. Dual-Blades is possible without it being based on a martial art. Assault Rifle ... nah, you need super powers to heft one of those. Shield Defense ... nope, can't happen.
  16. Seriously, I'd have thought it would be in the Natural Superbooster pack.

    Or added in with Walk.
  17. Yeah, there were lots of reports of 8800's going south. Someone on Justice gave a link to a fix that involved putting it in an oven.

    I'll see if I can find the link and post it here.

    EDIT: Try this at your own risk. YMMV. Don't blame me if your house catches fire. Any other backside covering comments that you can think of go here.

    Here's the link.


    Don't try this at home. These are trained professionals. More backside covering statements go here.
  18. I logged in Friday afternoon when they were testing the setup in the LAN room. I hung out in there while people signed a certain T-Shirt, then went to JIMBOMB! (Justice Italian Meal - Buca - Oh My Belly!) and only wandered into the LAN room a few times the rest of the weekend.

    Just too much awesome going on and too many friends to hang out with to want to spend my time in the game instead of face to face encounters.

    EDIT: And I went really low tech this year, especially for me. The GPS I borrowed from my nephew was the ONLY electronic or technical equipment I took. No flash drives, no laptop, no phone, no camera, nada but the GPS with the Yoda voice.

  20. As others have said, the timer is too short. In fact, most of the text that came up flew off screen so fast that I couldn't read it. Never saw a mention of the timer. Can it be put into the Nav bar like it was with the Halloween event? Can we get that text added to a specific channel so that we can put it in a Tab to monitor it?

    Lowbies are going to have some serious problems here due to all of the Minions, Lts, and bosses around the fighting area, and those that follow you back from fighting the Guardians. With the timer, it's difficult to justify fighting those to keep from being hit from all sides while fighting Lord Winter.

    I wish I'd realized that there was a Hospital in the zone, I'd have stopped waiting for rezzes.

    Definitely need a few people that can hold aggro on Lord Winter and some support for heals, endurance buffs, and debuffs on LW would be a help as well.

    It was difficult at times seeing that LW was unaffected and knowing to go after the Guardians, again, mostly because of the text disappearing so fast. Also, all of the other critters around where the Guardian is and between it and LW being aggro'd and following back to LW after defeating Guardian is almost unavoidable.

    I got so I didn't mind the detoggling so much on my controller, but likely because she was only running Hover and Hasten. It seemed to be much worse on my blaster, and I don't want to think about what it would be like on my scrappers.

    Also, as someone mentioned earlier, it's a bit discouraging to defeat a Winter Lord, zone to LW's area, pound on him a while, defeat the Guardians (with no Merit award) but have the timer run out before defeating LW so you wind up with basically nothing. After the new wears off of the event, and on low population servers, I think this may be a big problem in getting enough people interested to run it.

    Fun event, but it could use a few tweaks.

    I have absolutely no problem admitting I love it for those very reasons.

    Of course, it's well known that I'm a D.O.M. and proud of it.


  22. Can we get the slash commands for the costume changes? Please? I prefer binds for costume changes using an emote.

    Renamed. Otherwise it wouldn't say they were changed to Vanguard, it would say they were removed.

    The reason you have to change them at the tailor is that the Talsorian name isn't there anymore, only the Vanguard name. Yeah, it sucks, but it happens every time they rename or reorder costume parts.
