Then they're misnaming it as tessellation because it only turns on when you have tessellation on. I thought it failed to get any smoother when I put the camera in close but I figured they were THE ONLY SENSIBLE STUDIO OUT THERE THAT DIDN'T OVERTESSELLATE THINGS! Oh well. Oh hey, an update!

I don't know what it looks like, but if you go to the Envoy of Ca'd'Oro in the Draculesti camp, you can see what it's selling for the DLC. We're getting Custom neck talismans, an 'International Man/Woman of Mystery' title, and the outfit is the OROCHI MODULAR BATTLESUIT. Sadly, I don't know what the O.M.B. looks like, but it can be nothing but good.

HughGRect posted:Have to ask, are you running in DX11? If so its very unstable and recommended to play in DX9. I've ran with DX11 almost exclusively without any problems. I mostly keep it on for high SSAO, which looks kinda nice. Also, stuck with it because I was having problems with "out of memory" crashes at one point, and came across a post from the lead dev who recommended using DX11 because its API is much more memory efficient than DX9. For the record, the OOM crashes were most likely caused by corrupt data since they went away after doing repair from the game launcher.

Also, I redid the entire Issue 6 mission chain today and my new favourite is the cutscene at the end of The Prisoner. Couldn't get a screencap because it goes too fast, but imagine this headbutting someone:  edit: Oh and today we managed to bug out the Flagellatrix Superior in Hell Eternal somehow, which resulted in the entire party wiping and the quest updating anyway, so we just skipped her and went straight to Iscariot, Cassius and Brutus.

I played this a whole bunch after release, and I was inspired to get back into it after I saw it pop up on the steam sale. Unfortunately it looks like my account was compromised some time ago and was banned. Apparently when you get banned like this they throw your account into the Dark Pit to be eaten by shadowbabies because Funcom is giving me a wicked case of cold shoulder about it. Live Support says "you'll have to send an email", and 3 email attempts over the course of a week hasn't rendered any kind of response. Is there some kind of secret code word to get Funcom support to actually respond at all, or should I just drop it and buy in next time it goes on supersale?

Honestly I wouldn't actually reward them for being completely terrible about customer relations* and support. Unless you want to play really badly. Technically they should be able to help but it's kind of hit and miss how long it takes them to respond. I also just went to the TSW forums to see what experiences people had who had their account hacked in the past, and while it was a year ago, it never ceases to amaze me how even the shittiest company behaviour will find valiant defenders with the dumbest justifications. Account hacked? TSW can't be hacked, you're lying. Items stolen after the hack? Just be happy you can still play, suck it up and play from scratch, because account security isn't Funcom's responsibility. Support not getting back to you for a week after a hack? Guess you lied and they don't respond to cheaters.  *They do care if people critizice their precious store clothes or if some internet drama queen spends half a day on a train in game. That warrants replies and personal ingame visits by the game director and a personal audience in WiP Tokyo.

There is one person that deals with compromised accounts across TSW, AOC, and AO. Your e-mail is likely sitting in his queue. When they were properly staffed a compromised account ticket would generally take a week to resolve, so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes 2+ now. They aren't going to respond until their investigation is complete. Unless of course they fired the compromised account guy...

I bought about 100 of them. I got set on fire a lot and now have a lot of tacos. I got a bunch of those toolkit upgraders though. It's funny, if those had existed a month ago I never would have bothered to start running dungeons with goons. Is there any indication as to when issue 7 is coming out? It would kinda suck if all this content was just sitting there and we had to wait another month for it to activate... That new Ca d'Oro vendor has things I need dammit.

Little bit disappointed on that one, because to me 'Orochi Modular Battlesuit' invoked something more high-tech, maybe Iron Man-ish. But I can get behind most of that outfit.

There's a cap? I don't regret trying out a Kingdom signet, then. Also, for anyone who didn't know, the new Ca' d'oro will have Neck 10.1s and purple Major signets usable only with them. They're a bit more effective than a blue violence/vigour/amelioration, but not as good as a purple. (I.E. 117 AR, 117 HR.... 410hp?) A good assumption is that you'll be able to pick one of the three neck talismans at the end of the 1.7 chain.

You can also upgrade the necklace to 10.5.5, which is kind of nice. I personally would of rather had unique effect signets like the head ones, but a blue-and-a-half is good enough for me.

If it were up to us and our choices Tokyo would probably be dust in the wind because almost all of us sided with the Filth. But by my guess, we'll be seeing Tokyo at minimal fuckeditude. Even though TSW's a game full of moral ambiguity and there's never really a 'good' choice, the majority of the playerbase (any playerbase, actually) wants to be Good Guys. Tokyo still won't be a pristine paradise because it's still a huge loving crater where a big disaster happened, but I figure damage otherwise will be minimal.

With how many posts on the TSW forums about "I didn't even know there was a choice I want a redo!" I could believe that through sheer pubbie stupidity Tokyo could be hosed. I sided with the Filth because hey, they offered me a giant demon chicken to ride and power but mostly the demon chicken. And when I have a flying mount and none of you do? Oh man will you be hosed.

Cleretic posted:the majority of the playerbase (any playerbase, actually) wants to be Good Guys. At the same time, they did a pretty poor job of letting us know there was even a choice for the first dreaming (without going offsite, which the vast majority won't do), and also did a poor job of demonstrating how to make the 'good' final choice. Before someone goes off on how I'm full of poo poo and the choices were very clear, I'm talking about pubbies here; pubbies are going to make the 'evil' choice at 1 and 3 because there is no way they could stumble onto the 'good' actions (unless I'm underestimating the number of people that fell asleep with auto-run on at the first choice). But that's okay, everyone wants to side with the filth. Dragon: Handler, "[Chaos or something, says a bunch of words that can be used to fit any situation]" I haven't listened to this guy, but everything I've heard sounds like they stick their fingers into things just to see what happens. Illuminati: Geary, "Oh, this group has harnessed the powers of the filth without the adverse reactions that we've seen everywhere else and you have initiated an alliance with them? That's just... absolutely wonderful. We'll use that alliance as a front to study them from the inside and take all of their knowledge and power for our own. Just a second... Alright, I've slated in that we will have complete control of the filth by 3rd quarter of next year." Templar: Sonnac, "This is not an alliance. It is best we open the door to purge this evil once and for all rather than seal them up in a time bomb that will explode on another generation... or something like that. It hardly matters, if there is a box or a door, some idiot will always open it; Heaven help us if its a button. If there is a Hell then we're going to have to storm it and kill satan. *sighs* That's just always how these things always work."
