There are keyboard and mouse splitters, allowing you to pass the same keyboard and mouse functions to several computers at once. I would think that it wouldn't work well for interior missions because of movement slop, but for street-sweeping and instanced outdoor missions, it would probably work okay. Why someone would put that kind of investment into farming CoH, however, is beyond me.

Perhaps, when you use the summoning ritual, it teleports (with a confirmation dialog) everyone on the top of the platform to an instanced map where you have Adamastor and raid-grade (i.e., levelless) BP, after the manner of the Lord Winter mission. Any AFK characters would have the prompt time out and not be transported to the instance. It would also let the Adamastor encounter be tweaked to make it more complex than just a massive five-second beat down.

I think one per arm and two for the head would work best; that makes ten for a full clear. One per arm and the current six for the head would be fourteen, more than even both Jack in Irons and Eochai, and the War in the Vale event has you clearing several waves of mobs, too.

Yes, it can be a headache. Take an aspirin, and consider that 'aspirin' used to be a trademark of Bayer, and still is in some 80 countries. Other genericized trademarks include dry ice, escalator, laundromat, kerosene, lanolin, hovercraft, linoleum, teleprompter, trampoline, videotape, zipper, windbreaker, tabloid, granola, thermos, and yo-yo.

Assault Rifle, the grandfather of the 'crashless nuke' powersets, would raise an issue with "all other sets". And if you want to go back to the crash-based nukes, I should point out the delay that Rain of Arrows originally had between when the animation completed and when the arrows actually landed; that was something that drove me up the wall back on Live, where groups of mobs would aggro out of the beaten zone of my Rain of Arrows before it hit, wasting the T9.

Just as a guess, to see if it changes anything, try typing ctrl-alt-win-B before you start playing (hold down the control, alt, and Windows keys, then hit 'B'). You should see your screen go black for a second or two, accompanied by a beep. This forces a reload of your graphics drivers. If it reduces or eliminates your problem, your graphics drivers have a bug that's causing the crashes, and should be updated.

Only in teams, where throwing out an AoE Sleep, then watching a teammate knee-jerk 'more damage is better' and flinging an AoE damage attack to wake up all the mobs you just slept, is part and parcel of playing a Controller

If they can tell you've had a Brazilian, then your costume is violating the decency standards...

And it's only relatively recently -- exhibited in the decrease in family size -- have children had their responsibilities mostly reduced to acquiring an education; it used to be (and still is for most farmers) that children would begin to share in the work of supporting the household from quite an early age ('working' even if not actually receiving a wage), and with the spread of industrialization would become a cheaper alternative to hiring adults.

Ten merits the first time in a 20-hour period; the remaining defeats only give you 6, the same as any other GM. Still infinitely repeatable. One possibility for addressing camping is to have him summon at a location in a radius around the altar where you perform the ritual, and then have to find where he spawned; that way, AFK campers on the top of the platform wouldn't be close enough for their auto attacks or pet aggro to hit him, so wouldn't get defeat credit.

Well, not entirely, although you're sacrificing significantly to do it — burn your once-every-three-days 'complete this mission' for each successive mission in the arc until it's complete, but that's not always possible, as there are arcs that have missions you can't do that with.

I have joked about German being a postfix language, like RPN — or like FORTH, a more obscure language. FORTH bumper sticker: "FORTH ♥️ IF HONK THEN" Сила есть, ума не надо.

Ваш судно на воздушной подушке полон угрей?

One of the things that complicates learning other languages for native English speakers is that English has virtually lost grammatical gender. To use German as an example, there is der (masculine), die (feminine), and das (neuter), all of which are just 'the' in English. And to make things even worse, it's not consistent across dialects -- 'Joghurt' (yogurt) can be masculine, feminine, or neuter depending on which dialect you're speaking. And sometimes the article changes the meaning of the noun -- 'Der Lama' is the Dalai Lama, while 'das Lama' is the llama. So I sympathize with your difficulties.

Remember, this is English; virtually any noun can be verbed.

What's funny about the practice is that the only 'benefit' is that you can leave your character AFK and get the merits -- nineteen times over the 20-hour reset cycle, 120 merits, allowing for the time it takes to drop Adamastor. If you were to join one of the regular Hami raids, then in about an hour, you could earn 160 merits (or 120 merits and four Empyrean merits). But then you'd actually have to be playing the game, since you can't do it AFK.

They could be simply parking their character in place with an auto power going, and relying on someone else showing up to actually perform the summoning, with their auto attack getting them the hit that's all that's necessary to get the merits and threads. I remember for a couple of weeks, there was a Stone Tanker who was parked where Adamastor would appear with a PBAoE attack on autofire; it didn't matter who activated the summons, they would get a hit in.

Not only does the contact clutter up your contact list until you complete their arc, the fact that you've got an open arc with them takes up a slot in the maximum number of open arcs you can have.

Aaargh. Yet another iteration of the misperception about 'average lifespan' in the Middle Ages. No, fourteen was not 'middle aged'. The depressingly low average life expectancy was driven by a truly horrific infant mortality rate. If you have a population of 100 people who are born, and 50 of them die before their first birthday, with the rest living to 60, the 'average life expectancy' is 30. Anyone who survived childhood could expect to live close to as long as people today, with similar percentages of adults living into their 70s and 80s; it was surviving to reach adulthood that was the grim reaper that drove average lifespan into the ground.

'In turn' us grammatical there, although it's an uncommon usage.

Just out of curiosity, are your graphics drivers fully updated?

Barring other considerations, I'll three-slot Stamina early with End Mod SOs, then throw in the Performance Shifter proc and the Performance Shifter End Mod, and consider pulling the third slot out later if I've got no End issues, or dropping a common End Mod IO in if I do.

Or typing "/bind_load", which does the same thing.

Log into any character, type "/bind MOUSECHORD +forward", then "/bind_save", that makes the change and saves it back to the default bind file, so it's there on any other character you make.

And it may not be immediately apparent that it is offensive. Kuchadyerma (Кучадерма). Tawagoto no Yama (たわごとの山). Emvolia Perittomata (Εμβόλια περιττώματα). Paska Kasa. Gandagee Ka Dher (गंदगी का ढेर).
