    It would seem the devs have some people prepped to be zapped.

  2. Ihad a lot of odd behaviors, ingame too, after that Firefox update.

    Ran a new AntiSpyware scan after, and it is better, but I am not sure it is all fixed.

  3. And . . . Whether the devs, OR we,
    prefer new or revamped zones, . . .

    We need remember,
    New, added zones always will dilute the average number of people per zone,
    at any given time.

    Experiment and find what value works best for you.
    Yes, scaling is great.

    However, I would still like to be able to read the text,
    and at normal rez, the levels of the recipes is about as small as I can read at times.
    (I already scale all windows down to 80% in the Options)


    I would just like the ability to narrow the window more than is allowed now.
    It used to be able to be narrowed a lot more horizontally, until a few issues ago.

  5. A big Welcome!

    What server(s) are you running on?
    .
  6. Very nice.

    Do they have any examples of 10 or 20 or 30 characters moving around at the same time?

    or say, 8 characters battling 20 other characters?
    (controlled by 8 different 'players' around the world?)

    or is this mainly for introductory videos, etc.?
    .
  7. Hmm... I have sometimes been lax about sayin' my congrats all the time.

    But now, . . .
    I am going to make absolutely sure I say it every single time!

    I am always looking for good ways to prune CrankyDudes from my teams.
    Maybe they will just get annoyed and leave.

    Eco.
    THIS!

    On my home machine, the lag has made the game pretty much unplayable.

    Have tried many tweaks of options, etc.
    No help

    Is there a thread somewhere here about a lag problem in the last day or so?
  9. Well, yes....

    Many people have begged for this . . .
    Loudly
    For a long time.
    (also some people have begged for moving hair.)

    As for your comment about moving things there, . . .
    We currently have immobile stick-like things in that spot.

    Yes, people are going to like this.
    You will not be required to wear these.
    There are many popular costume pieces I would never wear.


    But yes, it is going to be a popular addition.
    .
  10. Yup!

    I have tended towards controllers,
    so I did find this out a good while back.

    But you are right!

    This is one of those fun bits of knowledge that should be in one of the "wish I had known" threads!

    Rikti portals too, IIRC.

  12. Is there maint this morning?

    I fear they may just be saying
    "Oh well . . . We will just reset it at maint."

    And Where were you using the O-portal?

    Were you standing in Wentworths?
    Were you in a mission?
    teamed/not teamed?
    Were other people using their O-portals / missionTP / BaseTP at the same time?

    Anything else unusual about the situation you were in?

    That is the sort of sight you can expect to see on a full team. And no, there was no way to avoid this. We came down the tunnel, and there was the mother of all fluffy swarms jsut waiting for us. It was actually impossible to see the cyst on first glance. We had to have someone with stealth toggle through to actually select the damn thing.
    First, I know of no threads lately saying that cysts were underpowered or overpowered. strange idea.
    I also have had maybe one team wipe in the last year from cysts.
    Be careful to notice what is in the next spawn before diving in. Get cysts first when possible...
    I know that wasn't possible this time.

    So I offer the following bind:
    /bind TAB "target_enemy_next$$target_custom_next enemy alive quantum$$target_custom_next enemy alive void$$target_custom_next enemy alive cyst"


    I run this on all my alts, Kheldian or not.
    The above bind lets TAB run as normal, untill you are looking at a spawn with one of those enemies in it.

    Normally, TAB is acting as TAB "target_enemy_next"
    If you only want to worry about cysts, you could run /bind TAB "target_enemy_next$$target_custom_next enemy alive cyst"
    (You can add other targets you might worry about, like Sappers, etc.)

    The main effect here, is that, even if you accidentally run into a room like that, and tap TAB one or more times, you are there, with the cyst as your target.
    Immediately start attacking, and your odds go way up that there is not going to be a team wipe, at least not several of them

    Good luck!

    Well, if you logged on, and looked for people standing around outside chatting or not doing much of anything, I certainly wasn't there.

    I have popped on for 4 or so sessions in the last 24 hours.
    Each time I just got right on to 8 man teams, mishing away,
    (normal contact or radio mishes.)

    If you saw me, I would either be levelling at trainer, or travelling between mishes.

    One of my new DP alts is 28.
    and having a blast.

    I'd have to say that for people who feel this way,
    They are definitely not getting the most out of being a MM.
    precision control, the binds, the strategies, done right, will NOT leave you felling like a spectator.

    It CAN be run in lazy mode.
    And yes... I guess that would be dull.
