Old Frankenstein says that if you're having problem with your necro, you aren't using enough Elec!

Sounds like the Borg developed that n-dimesional structure that the Federation was holding in reserve to fight them with... And used it against you

Here's another bite at the same apple.

You want to make it unwinnable. Talk with Philotic Knight about their nightmare of a FF-centric mission. Full-blown Granite Tanks being bounced around like L1 blasters...

Again, WHICH "soft cap" are you talking about? Both Def and Res have soft cap values.

I'm saying that the samples I'm seeing RIGHT NOW are cause for my concern. If you're fine with that, again, no right, no wrong, just how I feel about it. You being a prick about it accomplishes nothing.

For nearly half a century, LOTR was considered unfilmable due to the depth and breadth of the material. Film is a VERY different medium, and there were always going to be compromises. Jackson, and the people he worked with were actual fans of the works, and tried to retain as much as they could. But, in the end, some things didn't translate well into film. And you can't ask someone to sit for 6 hours in a movie theater (especially not with the "Bladder Assassinator" size drinks). Nor can you ask theater owners to take a massive haircut due to what such films would do to their per-theater revenues. Jackson & Co walked right up to that line, toed the line a few times, played around with jumping over, and made as few cuts and changes as they possibly could to still deliver the films on-point. And most of the cuts were things that simply didn't move the plot forward and were just "Oh and this happens", with no actual payoff. What we're looking at with the Amazon series is the equivalent of handing it over to JJ Abrams. "Cut out all the dialog! We need 300% more lens flare!" It's the difference between having a skin tag removed and having your entire epidermis flayed off.

Snide over-reaction doesn't become you.

I'm not "offended". I simply think that if they want to tell a certain type of story with a certain message, they should create their own thing. Not hijack someone else's property and jack it around to make it fit. It's not "right". It's not "wrong". It's just how I feel about it.

At which point, why not simply create their own thing? Why take someone else's stuff and jack it around into an unrecognizable form?

If it doesn't suit your play style, you can drop it in favor of Maiming Slash

I agree with this.

Here's a suggestion.

Look up "The Critical Drinker". Subtract the Scottish accent and it's pretty much my opinion. Warning: Some people may not like my opinion. On the plus side? I'm not FORCING you to.

Just going to say that while YES, it's nice. It's only nice IF you are using virtualization. If you're not, it's essentially an ultra-high refresh monitor for a blind user who needs a braille printer.

On a generalized microprocessor, you shouldn't HAVE TO be "designed for". Will you ALWAYS get optimal performance for any type of system workload? Of course not. You NEVER will. But if your performance is still in "acceptable to good" range, why does it matter? It's not like CoH benefits more from getting 200fps vs 140 fps.

Specifically, what about virtualization? And the difference between purposed cores and general cores is not an "old/new" thing. It's merely an architectural choice.

Define "soft cap". Because the game has myriad. Defense is only one area.

AH HAAAAA!!!! In short, it's got pretty much jack and squat to do with Windows.

If you're running a 12th-gen Intel processor, there are some optimizations in the thread schedule to eake out more performance by appropriately scheduling the "efficiency" and "performance" cores. Note: If you're on an AMD Ryzen-based system, the new scheduler ain't great. Seriously though, while I like new tech, with Microsoft OSes, prefer to wait AT LEAST two major quarterly patches BEFORE I'll even consider putting it on anything other than a VM. If I'm not due for a major OS reload, I can wait quite a while. There's, quite literally NOTHING in Win11 that's "must have" outside of the aforementioned 12th Gen + Scheduler stuff.

"Why have you been level 10 for 60,000 hours of play?" Well....

No. I have no fluffers in my stable. 😉

As someone who's been doing Rush the Rikti for 12-13 years, and leading for about 10... I'm just gonna disagree. Now YES, it's gotten EASIER since 2012 or so. But I've done single-team raids. And some of the issues with the raid have always been engine-related. With SCORE, it was found that some updates would unwind stability changes in the raid, leading to mapservs and client crashing. There were also problems with the League interface and with buff sending causing more client traffic than the client could handle. Hence the suggestions to turn off buff sharing for yourself, your team and your pets. Also, several mapserver optimizations since the inception of HC have MASSIVELY stabilized the raid, with occasional burps and poots.

I dunno. All of MY alts are here to *BLEEP!* you up!

Fighting Batroc the Leaper? MA. Fighting just about anyone else? StJ.
