All I have to do now is see if the brand new Power Supply I bought to replace my burned out oldie can power the awesome nVidia Card I picked out, as well as the rest of the system.

I wanna know how invul is going to rate in PvP. This is my first invul and as I'm sure the dark will be just fine I want to know PvP wise what should I focus on to stay alive?

Advise on sets, powers, etc., is appreciated. I'll post my build later tonight...

And if they are so delusional as to do so then they will make that claim even if only 2 badgers are in there fighting over who gets to kill the "Blue Ink Man".

Likewise a few more people playing won't get NC funding of PvP. Its not like Positron is going to say to NC soft, "We just doubled the number of people who PvP in the last quarter so that proves PvP can be successful and deserves more money. We'll Yea That means we now have 123 people who now play PvP. Well yea, we had 10 times that number before I-13. Well Yea that's less then 1/1000 of the player base. But please give us money."

Any decisions on PvP are most likely to be influenced by

1) Will it draw a good percentage of the 100,000 PvEers in and keep them playing longer.
2) Will it draw PvPers who used to play, back to the game.
3) Will it draw new PvPers to the game.

No matter what the hundred or so dedicated PvPers who are left choose to do. It is unlikely to change the decisions of the Devs. If you really think otherwise, keep in mind that 10 times as many PvPers were unable stop I-13.

Instead do what ever you will have fun doing.

The little tweaks here and there its gotten have done almost nothing to make this set worth playing again in my eyes. I loved invulnerability, it was my first love in CoH but after the nerfs I just cant play it. It requires too much IO investment to get to similar levels of survivability WP gets out of the box. That to me is where the problem is. I think at the very least they should have allowed us to cap smashing/lethal damage without outside help or power pools so that we could focus on all the other issues the set has. At least now the gapping psi hole is gone. I remember back in the day you were more likely to die on a team than anyone else when facing psi whelding critters now you dont, so thats really the only plus thats come out of all the changes.

I've seen /Energy Doms use Kinetic Crash in their blasts just to get more recharge but that sacrifices quite a bit of damage. My Fire/Psi has 116% recharge without Hasten and the build is somewhat odd, but it works very well (I took several powers I never use simply as IO mules, for example).

So 2nd place was for the team? I misread it the first time and thought it was for the winning team only... So what did I win (and when should I pick it up)?

Of course, when I filed a ticket on it, I was told that it's because my video drivers are out of date and I haven't installed all of the windows critical updates. Yes, because that's definately going to affect one server, from two computers (one of which is up to date)... I just stopped updating the ticket since they're going to keep throwing every excuse possible at me to keep from having to look into it themselves.

My guess, if it's not affecting everybody, is that it's GSP related, probably on the connection to the east coast datacenter (where Infinity is at, according to the wiki); the server that I'm not having trouble with is a west coast server, and I'm coming from cfl.rr.com.
