i love the new level of detail. The improved texture resolution did absolute wonders!

there are 4 lights!

I hope by the time it hits 50 and is slotted up it'll catch up but at the moment my fire/fire tanker is doing less damage than it did before.

The set did need to be looked at, and i LOVE the change to consume. makes soloing carnies set for x6 so much easier

I love everything they've done with GR except for 1 thing, Fiery Embrace >.<

what I dont like, and this is happening on all my systems, is before it starts patching, it pops up with an error saying that their might not be enough room on the drive to complete the task.
This needs to be fixed, does it under xp Sp2 Sp3 Xp Media Center and Win7 x64 ultimate. Yes I run as administrator.

You click an option and it goes away, but still, its kinda scary its been going on for as long as it has.

See, there is no setup, no annoying fiddly hack to get 3D to work, I tell nVidia drivers to enable 3D, I select the type, then tada, my games work, pop on the red/blue or if you're lucky enough to own a specific monitor. A friend of mind owned a pair of 3D goggles years ago, the goggles were basically 2 lcd screens with the different images on them, playing Mech Warrior 2 was out of this world. Its been a very untapped segment that now due to these 3D movies and whatnot, is just becomming to see the light of day again. I'm glad that at least nVidia made it painless.

now, about CoH ....

power customization maybe? perhaps just for scrappers the VFX's default is 'pvp only' maybe check out RV

yeah was playing Modern Warfare 2 like this eariler today and was wondering... Hmm what about city of heroes. The built in nVidia drivers work great with everything else I tried but CoH just seems to load up normally, and I hope this isn't because its open GL >.<

yep, had it happen just today, finished a citdel, call the contact 'I must speak to the team leader' ... erm.. i am the team leader >.>

well, with about 10 50's on the board, from playing for over 4 years, I think i only have 1 lvl 50 schedualed for the big delete. My Emp/Elec Defender. It really only got to 50 via people crying out 'we need a healorz' since it hit 50 i haven't touched it basically, i've respecc'ed it several times and am unable to find something I like. He is slowly being replaced by a mind/emp i have on the same server.

wow how'd i miss all this! G'day Schooner! already caught you in channel! glad to see my friends are keeping you busy!

Way back when I first started I was on guardian, but ended up migrating to Justice. Its a great server. Its even listed in the wiki as the unoffical Aussie server.. don't know if thats a good or a bad thing but i'll take it as it is all the same

Happy Huntin!

nice sketch. I'd love to be able to do that, I used to before, but nowadays... I couldn't draw a straight line, even if i had rule

*scratches pitifully at server door* let me een!.... *cry*

Hmm, how about my most famous character on Justice, of which some even call me by instead of my global name xD, Jirra!

Oh yes, GTX 260, i paid about $200 for one a year ago, lovely card, but NOW, go the 460

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130563

I also like eVGA. I have never had one of their cards fail! (a friend is still gaming on my 5+ year old 6600GT hand me down)

This combo might actually be my wifes first lvl 50 brute. it is in the high 40's . This character used to decimate missions with ease, but as talked about in here already, late game villain side, its becomming brutal to deal with all the damage comming in. At this stage in the game I have thought about creating a high defense build for it, but considering all the colourful damage that is around this late in the game, I am unsure on what type.

I have come up with 2 builds that look good based on what the powers she wants. I'd love some feedback on it though, as I am more familiar with tanks than brutes.

Build 1) Based on Positional Defense

gotta give Plant and Illusion a +1 for this. Plant more so. my Plant/Storm was the most fun ride to 50 I've experienced on a controller. Open with seeds, then roots, freezing rain, Lightning storm, Tornado, reapply roots to keep them locked down... the 'controlled chaos™' you can create always put a smile on me dial.

Storm does take a little practice though, but once you got it down, you're golden!

I will be bringing Knight of Lazarus, a recently lvl 50 Shield/Axe/Fire tanker, almost soft capped, with the Maria Jenkins arc laying in waiting. See if we can get a good 8 tanker AV team going

You could also try just leaving the monitor unplugged from the wall for a while. I thought this monitor had packed it in once but I discovered that even though it has an on/off button, it doesn't actually turn off, its like a standby, and I am not sure what happened but in easy terms I guess you could say my monitor crashed! I'd turn it on, but never see anything. I thought i'd be out a monitor, frustated I left it unplugged for an hour while I checked the computer out on a backup monitor to make sure it was ok.

I tried my old monitor again and tada, it came back up! I'm still using it.

good stuff. i've never been able to get stuff like that done, bravo.

one question i would have is, how do you make walls completely black? i have a room thats kinda like a forest, lit with torches along a path, so it would make it look like it was outside at night without seeing the walls >.<

now i dont know what i want to upgrade, my mobo/cpu or me gfx card, though my gtx260 core 216 does very nicely already

Welcome mod12! Now that you and mod8 can tag team, it might be safe to troll the forums late at night...

*whats that noise*...

maybe not!

*flee's*

Yeah, way too much, and yeah, i've seen that happen before, go into a task force empty, come out with 15 frikken temp powers, then a few generic/set recipes.

With the speed some were commenting on with how fast they were going. I wouldn't be surprised if OCR and Scripting were involved.
