  1. Perhaps requires trade level to be 15? I'm not near the tools to verify as I'm viewing from phone lol, but if you haven't already done so, submit a ticket, and either I or another GM will be able to investigate.
  2. [quote name='Amythiel' timestamp='1300359714' post='36737'] Bioware doesn't make bad games, doesn't matter if EA publishes it or not. [/quote] Westwood Studios didnt make bad games either... Till EA sunk their claws into them! If EA's running the MMO expect it to be abruptly shut down/staff re-focused on other projects lessening the content and attention the game should get in turn forcing it to lose player interest and thus... Get shut down... EA's motto... you give us a MMO we'll run it into the ground!
  3. [quote name='Terrell' timestamp='1300110181' post='36522'] I like the idea of the device for the JT, even if it has to be a L8 device instead of a L9. I also agree that there is no L9 engine for a JT that's a better overall choice than the L8 Reinforced Solar Sail. Maybe the Devs will invent a few, as I really don't see a point in raising my JT's engine tech to L9, she's perfectly happy using L8 engines, and patiently awaits the storyline to include the SS8. To be honest I think she's going to find the L9 Chim, Coma, and Manticore far more useful than any L9 engine that's in game. Even the Intent of the Resolute isn't better on a JT, than the SS8. The better buffs on the SS8 more than make up for being a little slower, in my opinion. Here's the stats on the 2 engines. Intent Of The Resolute L9 Engine Warp: 4250 Warp Drain: 24.40 (15.86) Thrust: 187 (251.9825) Signature: 0 Buffs: Increase Maneuverability (Equip) Increases turn rate by 56.00% when equipped. Recharge Shields (Equip) +49.60% Shield Recharge when equipped. Shunt to Reactor (Equip) +20.30 Reactor Recharge and -26.00 Shield Recharge when equipped. Reinforced Solar Sail L8 Engine Warp: 4000 Warp Drain: 18.70 (12.155) Thrust: 172 (231.77) Signature: 0 Buffs: Increase Maneuverability (Equip) Increases turn rate by 54.00% when equipped. Reactor Renewal (Equip) +5.20% Reactor Recharge when equipped. Device Energy Conservation (Equip) Reduces Device Energy Cost by 39.00% when equipped. Shield Renewal (Equip) Adds 21.60 shield regeneration rate when equipped. For a Jenquai Shunt to reactor is almost a debuff. Our Reactors are great, while our shields aren't. Also considering that the Shield Renewal stacks with Shield Recharge, while the Reactor Renewal stacks with Recharge Reactor, which of these 2 engines would you use with this shield? Sharim Prototype Shield L8 Shield Jenquai Only Trader Only Cap: 44904 Recharge: 327.00 (441.45) Buffs: Improved Psionic Shield (Equip) Increases Psionic Shield Damage absorption by 7,500.00 to 10,500.00, depending on ability used and increases duration of shield by 120.00 seconds when equipped. Increase Reactor Capacity (Equip) +726.00 Reactor Capacity when equipped. Recharge Shields Skill (Equip) Increases Recharge Shields Effectiveness by 3.00 Skill Level(s) when equipped. Recharge Reactor (Equip) Even with the JT no longer having Psionic Shield, this shield would work VERY well, with an SS8, and a Cygnus 9 reactor. The 0 signature is a big deal for a Jenquai, regardless of whether it's an Explorer, Defender, or Seeker, since the Trifid engine actually adds more sig than it's sig reduction buff takes away on a Jenquai. Terrans actually get more sig reduction benefits from a Mercurius, Halley, or Trifid engine due to them having a larger base racial signature. [/quote] If only the Sharim Shield was in game (not made by DEV only) and the SS8 engine to go with it, would start to make the JS more appealing, as of right now interestingly enough the L6 Guardian and the L8 Peg Leg (not easy to get and needs to be at high quality 150%+ to really compete) as the stats seem to be very similar to a L6 Guardian in terms of Recharge Shields skill increasing devices, these are the 2 that offer the best to the JT. Instead of the Cygnus, use a HoTM for the faster recharge and higher caps (as using the activated buff from the Cygnus on yourself is pointless since it uses as much as it recharges to cast on self). I look forward to the loving the new classes will hopefully get and this thread definitely has some good ideas behind it!
  4. For me it doesnt matter inside/outside, just hangs at the galaxy map. Sometimes, if I let it sit for couple minutes it eventually goes past. But mostly just hangs requiring CTL-ALT-DEL end task then several retries. Another oddity I am seeing lately. As I monitor who logs in or out, I see myself randomly show logging out yet I am still online, still playing without issue. Yesterday I watched myself appear in the text box to log out 3 times (not back to back) but for a period I was paying attention lol.
  5. Interesting thoughts but the JS (Jenquai Seeker) proper name Cannot equip L9 Devices only L8 They got L9 engines (which is pointless since the Prismatic Dragon Wing is Trader and Terran restricted so they cannot use it (and no sense in a Viper/Io/Triffid, least imo I still use the L8 Unabating Fire on him. I know there is a L9 Ursa (but its buffs meh dont warrant the use for the skills of a JS) and its very limited production (from builder rarely on).
  6. [quote name='C Del' timestamp='1299823455' post='36246'] Negative. They are different and therefore do not exist. I recall reading somewhere that Windows has 99.98% of the market share. Incidentally, trusted sources tell me the USA has been voted the #1 country in the world for 542 consecutive years and the Dow Jones Industrial Avg. hit 400,000 today... [i](Happy Thoughts)[/i] [/quote] Windows has been very slowly losing its market share to both OSX and LINUX (mainly Ubuntu flavor) but they still hold lil more than 90% these days, I think a lot of their loss in market penetration was due to that horrible thing referred to as Windows ME err I mean Vista ya Vista the new ME, both OS's that MS wishes to push under the rug and forget about. I use various Linux flavors in VMWare Servers for other things not related to my primary Win OS Servers/Workstations but as a hole, Windows is were its at in terms of usage base be it Personal/Business usage, and a clear indicator is the fact that most software developers who look to make money wisely code for were they will get the most penetration simple factors. Millions from MS Users or Hundreds from the combines of OSX/LINUX... Gee I wonder, again that's not to discredit either OS's offerings they all have a purpose, and I speak solely from my standpoint where MAC's get no play in my personal/workplaces. LINUX on the other hand makes for some great low resource intensive underlying easily modifiable OS to do whatever you are capable of coding to to And its free! But it's certainly not for the inexperienced IMO, its a Power Users OS as I say, and then OSX is for those who just need basics that work and not require any intuition into computers.
  7. [quote name='LPCA' timestamp='1299806614' post='36230'] dude, i don't care, linux and mac has users too. [/quote] MAC users... Shouldnt that read Mac fanboi's who most the user base have no clue their OS is just a derivative of FreeBSD which in turn lies UNIX foundation (where LINUX roots stem from as well). Gah sorry just can't stand MAC. I applaud the attempts from them, creates some necessary competition sure and brings some good ideas mainly I reference the the MBA (MacBookAir)as MacBooks/MacBook Pros just bring style and old tech hardware (not latest and greatest for its premium price point they charge, to the table. Great product (hate the OS) an no I will not buy underpowered/overpriced MAC Re-Labeled hardware when can be generally obtained for a fraction of the cost with better support. Now contradicting myself on the cost statement... Samsung Series 9 laptop dubbed the MBA Killer is due to release soon, Svelte PC just hair smaller than a MBA and way sexier lookin, plus much better hardware specs, unfortunately since its to be the first of its kind it bears the costs comparative to the original MBA (not the new iteration that has a slightly reduced price) again competition in effect here. I still will place my coin on this new Samsung as I am eagerly awaiting its release sometime this month or right at the beginning of next month. Could get the Korean version direct from Samsung right now but then the keyboard would have English and Korean on it (thats no fun) as well as the power plug differences that I would need.
  8. No faction is not an issue currently, I was able to do on my non progens via invites and they had various faction ranges. When you say map and build test weapon and chic, could you be a little more precise as to which item specifically, and which NPC name you are trying to talk to? Also there are a small amount of people in game who have completed these as well now, so don't hesitate to ask for their assistance/guidance.
  9. Ya CDel when people are doing jobs if they CTD at anytime, all their jobs in mission logs disappear. I see people hollering about it every now and then in the chat channels.
  10. [quote name='C Del' timestamp='1299731703' post='36132'] Lordy Jesus! This makes me want to cry. I [i]just[/i] stepped from a 1.5/384 ADSL line to a 10/800 cable gateway this past year when my cable company finally decided to throw some of their loose change into infrastructure, elimintating the need for a [b]phone line[/b] for uploads when using cable. (thus why I stuck with DSL) [/quote] I hear ya CDel it puts our stateside stuff to shame. Only wish our greedy business CEOs would stop playing games and milking us for technology thats available, giving us the short end of the stick (and not even those speeds to boot) calling it new tech/blazin fast hehe. Amidst my worldly travels... I can say 2 areas US doesnt impress me... Airline Carriers and IT Technology! But they'd make you think they're the bell o the ball!
  11. CDel what he sent me was an .XLSM formatted file so that might be why?
  12. I could tell you... but then.. well you know the rest... Nah 1st guess was correct, gonna be here for a lil bit then hopefully back stateside for good, tired of bein on the road!
  13. TB you've got it all wrong... Sheep Gazin isnt that code for internet bestiality? Course theyre gonna need broadband for it. LOL well I know I have certainly had worse thats for sure... Iraq/Afghanistans was pretty crummy! Hence my absence during ST2-3 lol... Ya funny thing... The locals call my connection in my apt here slow! I laughed and am all giddy Im like hell streaming/downloading etc fly for me so Im content, but always love more Apparently they get actual 1Gbps speeds on bad days... WOW no wonder they made such good gold farmers etc lol. And their MMO scene here is unreal, they have PC Cafe's packed on every corner worse than 7/11's or Gas stations for them to be jacked in hehe. Lotta chicks here are hard core gamers too I was stunned hehe. Ah well bored at work and all I have is forum access :/
  14. I'll take a look. Curious what file types are you allowed? .ZIP / .TXT? Could just try renaming it and making note to downloaders to change I suppose (again Im not sure rules thats some other folks dept. to way in). But I'll gladly take a look at it if you wanna send to my email. Shoot me a PM if so and I'll give you it.
  15. I plan on testing this out this weekend when I can give it my full attention! I would assume VNC could handle it based off your upload bandwidth etc. Considering I'm on a 100MB/100MB connection shouldnt be any problems One thing I will miss from here when I have to return stateside... The "Real" blazing broadband, not the BS marketing tricks we play in the states hehe.
  16. [quote name='Evermore' timestamp='1299649716' post='36063'] I must step in here to say that I have finished 446 Mobs (with some help from Ranko) as far as their Agressiveness, Bravery, Altruism, and Intelligence. We have also been working on certain Mobs Skills per say, along with Mob drops. This started 12-4-2010. As far as not seing this yet may be because about 200 of them have been done in the last 4 weeks, and without a content push it won't be visible to the players yet, but the work is happening daily. [/quote] Get outta here Evermore? Your workin on this daily? No way... couldnt tell. ok Sarcasm off Thats awesome news brotha keep pluggin away, and as always if you guys need any assistance from me with anything feel free to call upon me as Im usually around!
  17. 10-4! One positive side I see to at least doing it with say the TT for weapons, least allows you to build the items others would need who maybe doing the Stage II quest line (just lil more diversity of builders) for that L6 stuff used to "Improve upon".
  18. hit the ? icon 2Xs it shows last section you were building out of (not necessarily a history but at least the last section of things you were making).
  19. [quote name='Lannister' timestamp='1299520155' post='35909'] Ok, I have done some additional work on these. I have build over 20 of each of the Weapon, Reactor, and Shield and cannot make it to the minimum build requirement to progress the mission. With the following build advantages: Max Build Skill (Shield, Reactor, Weapon) A Device to bull build skill (Ego Matrix, Shield Prom, Build Computer) Most of the builds in that area usable for my PP. Even with those advantages my build changes are as follows: Weapon: 106% - 181% (Expected 143%) Shield: 101% - 176% (Expected 139%) Reactor: 96% - 171% (Expected 133%) So whatever was set to make these builds more challenging was over-set. They are virtually unobtainable. So Rojo - you must have some extra GM Mojo the rest of us do not. [/quote] Nope used regular toons. Yes I too had those types of ranges some a lil higher (since might have more things analyzed as Im a crazy one with that in that I scan anything possible I can lol) but ya I didnt pay attention to the ranges Lann, just pushed the button till I realized I was outta money and couldn't build anymore. again best one I got I think was on the weapon I hit a 191% and the rest were really sad. Shield barely got a 185% and reactor think was 186/7. The rest of the 10+ each builds on them I did... ya 110-150 range at best. Its just a complete random roll. But a bird said something to me might make ya crazy hehe. I know it did to me after all I went thru to get the % right for mission lol.
  20. Took me like 10 tries to get one at 191... lotta comps and money but eh means to an end I suppose. Good credit sink for sure eat up some of that worthless money floatin around!
  21. I'd be for the HELP channel, think the LFGs could stay in General but if need for a channel is there I suppose. As it stands now I have to monitor 3 channels mainly to catch peoples cry for help on Market, New Player and General. Sometimes if a lot of chatter is going on related to those channels, the requests for help scroll past to fast/chat window fills up. Hence why I depend on ticket system usage over chat due to the amount of requests received and chatting inbetween lately I dont want anyone to feel left out of support due to a missed chat/tell. Again though the player base would need to be aware, of said channel and its specific use, as I would probably stop monitoring the other 3 as much perhaps still be in General and New Players but the need to watch Market should definitely decline. Anyhow just my 2cents.
  22. Wasnt the one in Nif Cloud was called Modi's Child dont recall color or any other details though but ya the name stuck hehe. Or maybe it was just a crystal form but you could definitely shoot it and kill it. Endriago's you could shoot too or watch the comet busters blow em up when they got close enough.
  23. Running fine on all 3 machines here 32 and 64bit versions.
  24. Its called an MMO for a reason... Player interaction with other players. Now granted before you fire back with we don't have those large numbers anymore, we still do have players willing to make your ammo, you still have the choice to have 3 accounts, you also have another choice to become a beam only user and no need for ammo, etc... No offense but thats the way the game was designed and how most others are as well. Different classes/races whatever are meant to be different, not equal playing fields if that was the case, get rid of them all, make 1 character with all skills and set limited amount of points... Same concept I see being touted here and thats BORING drones lol, just my humble opinion. I prefer to play each race/class and utilize the skills they present me with at hand. Do I expect my JE to kill like my PW heck no, not suppose to... Do I expect the PW to go out mining? UM NO he should be laying waste with weapons... Ok Rant off
  25. www.monoprice.com Great cables better than overpriced BS Monster crap! And you can always have them special make a HDMI out of CAT6 for those type of lengths if they dont carry in your price range But I pickup 10ft HDMI 1.4a spec cables for like 4 bucks!
