Words cannot express how shocking and baffling that last mission turned out. I do think the `shade is cursed for it.

Thanks for the team. I think.

STF is 45+

Suggestion for the LG: Get a hold of some EoEs if you can. I wouldn't normally bother with them, but since it's a Master run, they can really help if you get some Yellow mito or Hami loving coming your way. Mail em to yourself so you can keep your inspirs full otherwise.

Penny, you gonna let 1 or 2 do the Mito Mash on the alien scum??????

Thread post about it. Mentions today's date (albeit at 1230 AM EST time); is that with the nigh-unholdable mitos? Or did a patch lowering them go in with the last patch? Too lazy to check.

Enough damage will overcome the greens, so it's not like it's not complete-able anyway. I expect prices for EoEs to sky rocket though. I never bothered to set those two criteria before. I guess I will now!

Nigh-unkillable scrapper LFT MoLGTF! (please have lots and lots and lots of defense buffs on the team.....pleasepleasepleaseplease )




Edit: Speaking of badges that people didn't have / know about, I did a level 50 hero respec the other week. I don't think the "complete in X time" was set, but the "complete with 5 defeats" was set. At the end of the respec, there were no deaths, and this hero was awarded the "Shared Victory" badge for completing it with the 5 defeat setting. The badge text stated "for completing TF/Flashback". Haven't done a lot of other TFs since then, but the one or 2 I have done with the usual Time / Defeat settings (and completing within those criteria) have not resulted in a badge. I do not recall the badge text prior to I17 stating "TF" along with Flashback.

Interest in attempting the same this Friday? Say at a very special 830 PM EST?

I would be up for this. Any objection to a Warshade? He was denied a successful completion due to a wonky unkillable GW several months back.

If no warshade, I have plenty of others.

Maybe. Saturday would be better. What time?

Major is a trooper (the punz. they hurt). And apparently more apt at starting a match than I.

That system is mindboggling. I don't remember it being that flaky before the major changes? Least we got the pentad out of the way eventually. I'll have to coerce 6 more to help with the swiss and battle royal at some point :S

Apparently he posted again saying he actually made it 10.



Forethought. It's not just for psychics.

I know full well this is a long shot for interest purposes, but I'll post here for the hell of it. I'm also aware that there might be buggy issues with pulling off a couple of the team-based matches.

The Goal: Hammer out a couple of the arena badges that require multiple people to pull off. These aren't generally broadcasted for that I know of, so IMO are a little harder to obtain. The idea won't be to cheese the matches entirely, but to balance "fun", "effort", and "accomplishment" all around for those interested.

The how: No idea! If someone who's done these on a character already has some insight, I would love to hear it if there are any issues with set up / execution that might some how goof up the credit? Otherwise, I'll set up teams to accomodate the various team-based matches accordingly (so AT preference will have to be considered).

The when: Friday night, forming around 930PM EST. Hero and villain, AFAIK, can accomplish this at the same time? If not, we'll start with some hero rounds and then move on to villain side. I will be willing to switch out ATs to accomodate the requirements, and hopefully others will too. Remember, the construct won't be for you to get all the badges on whoever you switch to every time. Get it on the main one(s), and then help out everyone else get it on their main one(s).

How long: No idea! We'll shoot for an hour? And see how progress is going.

Fun stuff, right? I look forward to the horde of responses!.........

Thanks Des. Pretty much what I figured, but thought I'd see if there was the slightest chance. Was hoping someone would say a 512MB cache card would solve any issues over a 128, but alas.

As for swapping CPUs, I pieced this rig up myself way back when, and it wasn't my first. IIRC, I have already upgraded the CPU once though. I don't recall there being anything substantially beefed up that this particular mobo would take? Had something in mind?

Shamster was late because he was in a PUG LGTF. But he did not read up about the patch notes, which Castle has something interesting to say about it. :O

He goes on to say he might/probably will lower that change a bit, but yeah, that's a ***** thing to drop on people out of the blue IMO.



Bone, cya man.

Disclaimer - I haven't kept up with computer specs in 5+ years. Literally. My computer is maxed out for what it is, except for the graphics card, and don't really feel like going through the motions of building a new one. But wondering if A) there is a newer/better GFX card I can use and B) It will give a noticeable tick in improvment.

Basic specs:
Intel P4 2.8 Ghz (Northwood / Socket 478)
4 Gigs RAM
Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128 meg)
AGP 8x
NO PCI XPRESS

With that said, anyone care to guess if I would get a noticeable / beneficial performance boost with a "new" card that I can actually use? Most settings are at medium, with some of the "detail" settings on high. None of the Ultra settings are turned on of course. Generally, prior to I17, movement and graphics were pretty smooth overall. With I17, and after slightly tweaking settings again, I am getting massive graphic lag usually when I first log in or in the first mission. I call this graphic lag because the system is literally chugging away for 10 - 20 seconds as it's flooded with data; after that its back to normal for as long as I play. Drivers were recently updated, and the chugging isn't nearly as bad or long, but still there.

I haven't done a lot of research, but the little I have, @#$#!@ @#$%@ how many freaking series and slightly-different graphics cards does one company need to spew out. Anyway, I believe the 700 series is the last to use AGP 8x? I can't find any sites that have done a direct comparison between my series and "newer" series. The cards I've found in the 700 series are pretty cheap, but not sure if it's even worth it with a system that can't be added on to any further and has already been tweaked to hell and back to squeeze out all I can.

No, I won't use an ATI card.

Any thoughts from those that have kept up more to date than I and/or held on to their morbid hobby of graphic card nostalgia?

Thanks for joining.

Part 1 - 43 min? Like 12 blasters. Big thumbs up for number of missions / time to complete. Though that last mission is supposed to encourage new players? Story makes more sense now at least.

Part 2 - 50 min? Liked the last mission. 6 years to finally get recognized...that's just sad. Overall, much improved over the grind fest of the Old TF.


....... now to farm the old TF for merits! >.>

It's the only time I got unfortunately. You don't have to commit to both parts if that makes it a little easier.

Me - hoorah
Spiderdragon - srsly this time
KT - yep?
Shamster
Peppercat - Not ignored.......you said tentatively!!!!!!

Penny, don't think your sarcasm went unnoticed

Yeah, so, uh, want to still do this. And I can (for now) actually be there! I know, I know, that's not really a selling point, but I don't want to surprise anyone.

Planning on both parts. I have no idea of the levels for either one, so do your own math. I'll be exemping regardless.
