Yay , thankie. Still won't get out of window mode but at least running at 1600x1200 so fills the screen

Ok been away for a few months (SWTOR FTW ) , and had to reformat my computer. Just reinstalled EnB and can not get it out of the defult resolution , even when I change it using the config it just jumps back to the defult. Got a new monitor to play swtor (27) and the defult res makes the game unplayable HELP

[quote name='Mattsacre' timestamp='1318031631' post='47117'] I suspect there is some web based problems..since EnB is down, STO is down, and yesterday my E-mail provider was having problems, as well as some of my relatives in another state and provider. Maybe our great overlord and minions are instigating "net nuetrality" groundwork early :/. Been having problems with cell phones delivering messgaes 4 days late as has been my relatives...but then thats not unusual for A.merican T.week & T.orture's poor service. [/quote] Lol STO is back up so I am getting my space on , I have not noticed any issues with verizon or time warner outside of the fire damage our local network suffered . tho net issues could explain it O.o

[quote name='Kyp' timestamp='1318029762' post='47114'] EnB stimpacks are needed, someone get to inventin' [/quote] <Logs on to FFT , Steals some stimpacks from the bos , gives to Kyp> there , chop chop momma needs some space play =^.^=

STO is down to O.o , no space fix for me today

[quote name='lordfalcon' timestamp='1317349385' post='46861'] Question being if nobody was to complain or give feedback. Whether it being negative or positive. Would anything been address to stop the killing of the PW and feedback is feedback as long as it points towards a positive outcome or solutions. Like I have said before. Thanks to all that have given their time and effort to bring this game back to us. Plus the ones that are hoarding these exploits should be address. I agree that raid mobs shouldn't be able to be taken down by one person. [/quote] There is a difference between complaining (which gives devs grey hairs assuming they have any left) and feedback which tends to give them warm fuzzies. To me there seems to be more complaining then feedback >.< Biggest thing that needs to be remembered is that these devs are not professionals but self trained volunteers , and the fact they have made so few mistakes is damn near a miracle. Don't believe me go look up Everquest 1 and the necro issues that plagued that game for years. Or take a look at how final fantasy 14 was released by so called professionals. Or any of a dozen of actual p2p games out there right now. Over compensating while trying to fix EXPLOITS that players have used knowingly is practically a tradition in MMO's so it should not be a surprise. Dealing with people exploiting is easy if only a few , but when many do it by rationalizing its not a bug but a game mechanic , or skill becomes hard. They can't go banning everyone like they would do in a normal MMO or there would be no players left , people were doing something they should not be doing and the devs have decided to ere on the side of caution and assume people did not know it was a exploit and treat it purely as a bug. So please give them a break they are after all volunteers and not getting paid.

[quote name='dorin' timestamp='1317050868' post='46664'] But many hands can cause more people getting stuff they should not have. or things spawn when they should not. if something is done at least they have a couple of people who could have done it not a few... [/quote] Yeah one has gotta be careful , back in the day when I was a GM for PSO 1 and 2 we only had about 10 people who where also techs as well. We had to fire one person and warn several others , and we where being paid >.< . I know quite a few people that are or were GMs in various MMOs and you would be surprised how often the temptation gets to people . I suspect the fact this is a free not for profit game would increase the temptation >.<

[quote name='Castagere' timestamp='1317088416' post='46718'] I probably did come off badly and I'm sorry for that. I guess i don't get how people can afford the cost of broadband internet And say they are broke. I just would think its cool if players thought the game was worth it. I see alot of complaint post and no donations from most of those people. [/quote] lol I agree with you but I to can not really afford to pay right now since I work retail money can be tight. But once the holidays hit full swing I plan on treating this like a normal MMO and drop 15$ a month. I have internet because I live in a RV in the middle of no where. Costs to much money to go any where and without internet I would probably go insane >.< So I am sure there are plenty of people with reasons not to drop a few bucks here and there , on the other hoof , there are probably just as many that can but won't. And that I don't get >.<

[quote name='will' timestamp='1316893715' post='46578'] It's been around for forever, and reported multiple times, the heal that should be divided among the group members gets dumped on the PW only, so when grouped with at least one other member in range, the PW gets 50%+50% heal, while solo they still only get the single 50% heal. The group members still never see any heal from the skill as they should. It's actually weaker than it should be right now, healing for at most 100% of the PW's shield cap, rather than 50% per group member, up to 300% of the PW's shield cap healed(split 6 ways). However, in group play right now - Sap is for AoE DPS and nothing more, the heal is irrelevant endgame, and cannot even compare to Recharge Shield or Hull Patch's effectiveness. It will be more useful once it gets spread among the group though. The real problem has always been the limited AI, that the healers can sit in perfect safety while the PW tanks everything. Getting the mobs to spread their damage out is not an easy thing to balance, especially right now when various defensive skill/equipment/buffs do not yet work. There has been some progress though. Eventually, I think a certain skill will need to not attract aggro through the damage it does, or even better, maybe have it "repulse" the aggro when it deals damage to a mob. Right now it just reinforces the aggro, keeping it (mostly) on the tank, which even the new aggro mechanics haven't been able to overcome that well. [/quote] Not so sure about the healing part , but as a JE I can easily pull hate off the tank long enuff to die >.< unless I am quick on the cloak. With leech as it is I can solo bio's at my level or a few above if I can pull a single mob away from the herd , but get 2 or 3 that are over my level shooting me and it becomes more effort then its worth. Much easier to chain kill mobs slightly under the to try for the bigger ones unless their drops are good. I think a good balance would be to make it so PW's can still kill the mobs in question but make it take so long as to not be generally worth the effort. If someone wants to take 10-20 min to kill a single mob they should be allowed to even if its normally out of their level range. Patience should always be rewarded imo.

[quote name='Tienbau' timestamp='1315876927' post='46054'] the whole field gets renewed after the respawn time has elapsed if an ore has been plucked. At least it should do I'll double check that it is all still working as expected. [/quote] Not sure about ores but the hulk fields in grissiom are not and I believe there are others that are not as well.

[quote name='ryprx' timestamp='1315860922' post='46035'] Is it me or is there some confusion about what "cherry-picking" actually means? It does NOT mean taking a few roids/hulks and leaving the rest of the field. It means pulling one or more items from a single roid/hulk and leaving the rest in that particular roid/hulk, causing it to not respawn. [/quote] Yup and its sadly rampant in many of the higher level hulk fields meaning less high level goodies for all of us. I personally find it annoying because I am looking for t8/9 gear for my builders to rip. I got so tired of playing maid I rarely even go to grissiom or half a dozen other higher end fields any more and stick a few that seem to be under the radar.

The GoBB field is the only one I know that can not be cloak mined by those of the appropriate combat level. Just because you have the reactor power to pull something does not mean your at the right level to do so. There is no field outside of the GoBB one that I can not with a little patience clear. Besides as I just posted its in your best interest to clear every roid you touch because it can then repop with hopefully more goodies. And for the record if you know what your doing you can clear most of the hulks in GoBB without taking more then a little hull damage , I can only not get the few that spawn on top of the rock. Of course that's assuming your the right CL for the field.

Like Redd said the fields will always respawn per their timers. Cherry picking is pulling only what you want from a roid/hulk and leaving stuff like say debris behind. In THAT case the roid/hulk will sit there taking up space in the field until someone finally gets tired of seeing it and empties it. In really big fields its not that much of a issue but in hulk fields which generally are much smaller it can be a big pain in the rear. What drives me crazy about the cherry picking more then anything is that it hurts the person doind the picking as much as those that are not because the more cherried hulks in a field when it starts to respawn means less goodies for everyone. Besides it really is the height of laziness since you can quickly space the debris to save space in your cargo. and by doing so there is a better chance something nice might spawn in its place. By clearing fields that have been cherried by others and waiting for the respawn I have gotten 4 t9 blackbeads in the last week =^.^= YAY for storage alts

I sadly have cleared many cherried fields lately and I always get the field bonus , but then I am probably a lot more stubborn about not leaving roids behind
