So you really think Pain Domination will have big heals like Empathy? I just don't see them giving MMs a real healing set. I hope I am wrong though. I it turns out to be a good set I might actually role a Thugs/Pain.

From the notes re: I13:

Pain Domination – Villains can now bend the power of pain to serve their own ends! Those playing a Corruptor or Mastermind have access to this new powerset. The antithesis of the Hero healing powerset “Empathy,” Pain Domination brings parity between Heroes and Villains with a distinctively evil flair.

I read that as I can *dish out* pain to my targets. Totally reverse empathy.

*rereads*... WAIT. Not a Dominator power? Phooey... oh well, she can be a Corr. No big, I suppose... she *is*, after all, a half sister to be...

not in reply to anyone.

i honestly think that the Dev's need to concentrate less on making all these changes and more on fixing the problems in the programing that curently exist.

the whole thing about reward tokens is rediculous as is the whole buying things differently for bases.? so what are they getting rid of, influence/infamy or prestige?

what happened to more items for bases, a banking system and recipe storage?

with all the changes it just seems that they want you to get your toon to 50 and then stop playing them to do the same thing all over again.

sorry if im ranting all over the place, i havent been on the forums in a bit and have missed this.

Late to the party, as usual... However, I just wished to comment on the above first. The second to last paragraph pretty much sums this up.

Lemme explain my position. For some reason, whether it's I don't do what some others are, or my system can't hear yours because of the sound of how awesome it is, don't have the bugginess issues that lots apparently have, but that doesn't mean I don't wholeheartedly agree with the idea of concentrating on bugs as well. However, they *need* to add things in addition to squashing bugs. It keeps the thing fresh. If they didn't add things, the product would die. It's that simple.

Now... onto the announcement itself... I am *stoked* about what's about to happen to Co* in this respect. I cannot *wait* to see Pain Domination... I'm probably gonna roll a new Dawn half sister on Pinnacle for that... Although Battle Brat may die because of it... but oh well, that's villainy for ya.

That is what Cerise shoulda been... a pain inducer. It's fine she's a Mind messer, and not empathic at all... but this is what she needed to be in the first place. A true evil sister. So, whatever her name is, she'll be a long lost half sister like Paige is on Charmed. Exceptin' Ruby's the only good witch. Yeah... that'd work! I can update their Bios to go with... more Villainy, of course.

And the whole mission creator idea... ****FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!**** That's worth paying for extra, ya ask me... the Devs are the BOMB.

This is gonna be GREAT.

/Edit: WAIT!! I have 5 free slots for characters to use... HA! Here's a reason to spend one! Sweet.

That was.... incredibly goofy. Loved it!

Love, love, LOVE hearin' about Sister Flame and her adventures, RL or Online. Too cool for school (well the first day, anyway.) .

Contest?! OOOH!!!

/wonders rabidly what is it!?!?
//First post after a red name!

To be sure, the link is *ages* old. It's been changed. If you had continued to the end of the thread, then back up a couple of posts... the correct link is there. I know... I put it there, and i test it every so often. It still works.

And it doesn't have Lineage in it's name. They'll both work, it's the same tool.

However, as a backup, you might want to use the IPs used in the NIT, and plug them into PingPlotter free. I've seen some issues with the net info tool... I recently wasn't able to get it working... and then it fixed itself, I have no idea why. Game never stopped working either. It was odd. But all through that, PingPlotter worked great, so it's a good backup to be sure of the pathing between you and the servers.

Awesome news! But... I won't need any of these. Well, except the tailor session... maybe.



Oh, and Shadowrush, Colbaltix, you forgot something... Starts with 'F' and end with either 'N' or 'ame', depending...

Edit: Um... Interesting a RedName had to purchase slots...

Satellite, Cell, Cable, DSL, Dialup or ???... what kind of a connection are you using?

Secondly... who's your ISP?

Thirdly, using MSConfig, turn off everything in the startup tab, reboot and retest it.

Fourthly, (or maybe Thirdly, if you wanna) try opening 26 of the updaters. One of them might catch. That'd be the Satellite force in, btw.

Dunno if this will help... maybe a hijack this and dxdiag log...

Oh, in 'read this' find information regarding the Net Info Tool. Download and run it, see what it's log says, maybe post it here too. The tool is at the end, or near it, of the thread, I put the post in mahself.

Necroposting ftw. Really should started a new one... but oh well.

/awaiting specs too.

CTF should be Arena/PocketD type thing only.
Grappling hooks are mandatory. Do it, or it's not CTF
And the Stealth and Travel power suppression thing. However, all sprints are maxed out. Everyone gets Hover, and it's also maxed out, along with swift slotted auto for fly and run. There, decent moving.

CTF sounds fun, though. In Quakes, it's quite fun... I imagine this would be a real hoot, and would wholeheartedly be in, however it's implemented.

But it absolutely *requires* a real flag that has to be carried.

Further, if anything close to CTF shows up, I repeat the long talked about, never implemented, highly desired BIG RED BALL. In Talos, especially.

Just when I thought I might could maybe, just maybe, entertain the thought of interacting in RL ever again...

Posi whacks me with the Ban stick on RL.

DANGIT, Matt, what are you trying to DO to me!?!

"I can’t tell you how excited I am for our game’s future, and although we have some major announcements yet to be made, one of the things I can talk about is a feature that we are planning. Similar in concept to our character creator, it allows you, the players, to create missions and story arcs for your characters and others to participate in. You’ll be able to pick the map, villain group, and objectives, as well as write the dialog and any clues needed for the missions. When you are satisfied with it, you can upload it and have other players across all servers play it and rate it. Fame will come to the players whose stories rate the best overall. It is features like these that we never dreamed of including when we first shipped, but are excited to be able to offer players very soon."

I will never be seen again outside mah house now.

How will I eat now?!

/this is epicness.
//This should require 4 50 level characters to open, btw. Not every Tom, Dick, and Harry should be writin' stuff... :
///Which means I'll finally get my abilities to write in 2012 maybe...
////Just the 1 50, Ruby Dawn, but her evil sister Cerise is catchin' up...

While I think it's probably a newer than needed driver on your older card, it's perhaps best to post a new thread than put it in this thread, which is supposed to be about how to get the cards working better, not diagnose problems. Could you do that for us? This way we don't clutter this one up with help and back and forthness. Thanks!

***PLEASE NOTE THIS FUTURE POTENTIAL POSTERS*** Don't post here with problems. Only solutions/ tweaks that helped you. Thanks so much!

Goodness... Nobody's gonna fix it?

I guess I will:

You're Welcome!

/Currently Playing in mah Head: You know that Betelgeuse music when he pops up outta the floor goin' "Attention K-Mart Shoppers!"? That.

Edit: Bah... missed where LH says he fixed it... but only the top thread. But I'm leavin' it here due to the others that get quoted. So there.

I would suggest this announcement be stickied, pushed to top, and locked on *every other forum* here. That way, nobody could miss it.

<.<

Of course, it's fairly apparent that nobody reads stickies...

///Oh gods, please do NOT make people post those here...

The IP address you need to enter is the one for your PC. This is called the 'inside address' that you want the port(s) to be sent to. For multiple IPs, you'll have to define it more than once... if that's possible.

If your PC is using a dynamic IP, you'll likely want to change it to static, then use that to fill out the table.

I came here to say:

Ravenlore... Excellent job. Creepy and villainous. Bravo!

/Currently Playing: Aerodynamic Beats/ Forget About the Word - Daft Punk

Oh ,he is already. Just jg already had the territory marked.

/Currently on in mah head: Stronger - Kanye.

I figure at this point I might as well chime in here.

I don't play any other games. None. Well, maybe the occasional GH or Rockband at the Bestbuy Kiosk or something, but that's it.

Why?

Co* rules my world.

And for the core who stuck with it through thin and are now in the thick of I12...

A sincere thank you for taking away so many precious minutes of my life. I enjoy spending them using Co* a great deal.

Always something new to discover, as I've not the time in it as some around here, but a small story for ya about how awesome it is to be playin' Co*:

Last night, my SG mates and I were teaming. Me the Mind/Psi dom, the Ice/fire (or is it the other way around?) Corr, and the robot MM. (Villains, of course, pressin' to 50 for VEATs now...)

We had a CoT mission in a cave and came across a mob of several LTs and a couple of Minions, all 3 and 4 levels above me. Holding two hostages, they're about 10 or so in a little pit.

I said, "hold my beer, watch this!" (as it is Pinnacle...) and proceeded to fire off in succession:

two big yellows
two big reds
Dominate
Mass Domination
Mass Hypnosis
The Fear Power (I forget what it's called, but they cower before me and hurt)
Psionic scream? (The wall of power that makes them hurt)
And then the Ice rains down upon them, courtesy of the Corr

In about 5 seconds it was *over*... The MM didn't even get to do anything with them.

I was laughing so hard after that, and all the while goin' through and mowin' down more, as Dominate means I'm a squishy scrapper, and I won't stop.

I was, in my own little world, impressive in that moment... and *that's* what keeps me comin' back.

Then again, the night before, I had an 8 person wipe happen, and it was just too funny then too. "Ow!" said we all. As someone said, the first 8 times, it's funny, then it gets *really* old for about 40 times... then it becomes hilarious ever after. I <3 team wipes, it's just so fun now.

o.0

Anyway, Devs, truly, thanks. You made my 33 months! (or soon to be 33 months anyway...)

/Currently Playin': Nothin'

<QR>

One thing I'm wondering is how will they know if I view or don't view an ad?

In any case... I'm all for it. As long as it's tasteful and appropriate, not in your face, and not sprouting up all over, just like it seems to be presented in the pictures (billboards only, looks like) I am fine with it.

Heck, to a certain extent, this *increases* the game's realism... because it's real advertising in our fair city (unfair islands? ) I am one who will be more than happy to keep them around as more $ means more content. Yayness. I would also ask that the occasional 'play' ad NOT be taken down/changed... keep a few in there for posterity's sake, yeah?

Rotating after a zone or perhaps overnight might be a fun way make them kinda fun to look for as well.

However, if it comes down to an ad during loading/zoning, or new billboards pop up at weird locations, or worse, in mission... Unless the mission map is appropriate, of course (outdoor map, for example) or anything untowards of the sort... you can just forget even thinkin' about that right now, thanks, they'll be off.

I hope everyone will give them a chance before you turn them off out of spite or something right off. I think that long term this could be a good thing, overall.

/oh, ok, so I'm naive and starry eyed... so sue me.
//Currently Playing: Theme to Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Really.

Awesome job, 4/1!

This is totally sweet. At first, I was all 'horrors!' And I was comin' in to say 'well... as long as it's toggleable, I guess it'd be cute.'

Then I clicked. Duh.

But I agree many. 'Freem' needs to be an occasional thing to show up somewhere.

/Currently Playing: One More Time, Daft Punk

I just came in to say... LOVE the creation tweaks. Love them. Can't wait.

Carry on with the discussion. My contribution is but a speed bump, I'm sure...

"I just came in here to say, good luck, we're all counting on you..." - Referenced due to my repeating the sentiment: I was terribly geeked to see the duo of Sister Flame and Brother Frost interviewed. One of the greatest threads of Epic Win winds up in the Scoop. That is extremely excellent. Would that we heard more stories such as this.

This is my favorite City Scoop of all time. Thank you!

I was comin' in here to say something else, but that above took precedent. Now, what I wanted to say was this:

I want to thank the fine people who produce the City Scoop. It cannot be easy, I know, I did a newsletter for a car club once. Ugh. It's sometimes not said enough, so I'm sayin' it: Thanks for all the hard work you put into something like this, all of you. I apprecate it and look forward to every one of them!

Unfortunately, I do believe you just peaked with this one. How are you gonna top it?

There will now be no cure for my altitis disease. The only thing I can console myself with will be the other uncontrollable urge to level up Cerise Dawn to 50, come hell or high water, because I will have a Blood Widow as my epic to go with my PB, and complete my slotting on Pinnacle. One of every archetype (as I include the epics as one... even though they're not... I 've only the 12 slots, ya know... )

Matt, you are truly rockin' the joint. I am now wondering how in the heck y'all can top this for I13 and 14 and beyond... 'cause man, this is gonna be a whole new experience.

Keep this up. NCNC rulz!

I just came in to say..

This is totally awesomesauce. I simply am in awe at the huge amount of stuff that is comin' down the pipe. I've not read but the first page of this thread.

I am geeked about the Hollows thing.

As with others who have villains languishing under 50... I really MUST get Cerise up to 50 now.

tray moving, inspirations combining, more costumes, more powers...

zOMG!1!

Too much... brain overloaded... I need Duck Tape to contain asplodiness of excitement and anticipation...
