Active healing, damage, and threat meters via directx overlay.
Ask Mr. Robot still gives an easier-to-view breakdown, this is far more diagnostic in it's display of information.
This gives a more accurate 'at the moment' breakdown. Particularly of use is the threat meter. (E.G., how much of a threat lead the tank has on Stormcaller before the switch).
It uses peer-to-peer communications for synching, and at time of writing, uses about 5 MB of ram while not parsing.
Would like to try this out for the weeknight raid group this week, see if we can get some use out of it.
What: Smack your mate in the jaw in this fists-only tournament! Have fun with the Legacy Unarmed combat system! Don't come sober, this is a bar brawl dammit!
Rules: No weapons, no expertise, no statted gear of any kind! Kit yourself out in some un-modded gear and dress up for the occasion! Maybe find a sweet set of social gear? Or fight naked!
We are currently investigating aan issue causing Matrix Cubes to disappear from a players inventory. We have currently identified that equipping the item, then moving to a new area can cause them to disappear. We encourage players not to equip them for the time being.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we investigate the issue further.
Do NOT, repeat, do NOT equip your Matrix Cube(s)! They may get eaten!
General Corrected an issue that prevented Smugglers and Imperial Agents from taking cover in place while moving

The Demolition Probe Droid no longer attempts to move to the player in the scout tower, which could result in the Droid evading.

Class Missions
Sith Inquisitor The Fallen Dreadnought: Corrected an issue that blocked progression on this mission if the player skipped a mission step.

Galactic Trade Network An issue that prevented some item category searches from functioning unless an item name or price range was also specified has been corrected.
The default value for the Rarity field is now Standard instead of Any. This allows players to search for most items without requiring that they select an option in the Rarity field.
When claiming items or credits attached to mail, players will no longer encounter a rare error stating that the message cannot be sent.
Miscellaneous Bug Fixes Players that completed the steps required to unlock the "Containment Officer" title during the Rakghoul Plague event but did not receive the title have been granted it.
Website is still down so I typed them up out of the launcher. 'Scuse any typos and njoi.

Inspired by the discussion stirred up by Ratio in this thread.
Also I like food. So do some of the rest of you.
If you don't like food, or are anorexic, get the fuck out of my thread.
Post food-related things here!
So to kick things off...
Quote from: "2eggs1cup"
1 Eggs 1/2 teaspoon butters 1 teaspoon milks and/or the creams (half and half will work in a pinch) 1 teaspoon cheeses (grated) Salts and Peppers to taste.
Crack eggs into cup, break up with a fork. Add in butter (melted if at all possible), mix in milk/cream and cheese. Nuke for 45 seconds in high-voltage microwave (700w, 1000w, or a 650watter on powah).
Eat with fork. Garnish with chives or whatever the hell you want. Shove that tasty goodness into your face-hole.
If you've got a bigger mug, or are extra hungry, this recipe doubles up pretty easily!
Mentioned it in the Raid Group 2 thread, but I thought I'd make note of it here. My subscription ran out today in the middle of doing Ilum dailies. Going to take a week or so to take care of some RL issues (goddamn redheads), and wait until I get paid at the end of the month (next Friday) before buying another game card.
I'll still be on Teamspeak in the evenings to socialize and strategize!
Just some quick info regarding credits per minute and total yield for time spent on space missions.
Please keep in mind that these results are ONLY for Grand Nova and New Eclipse, the current end-game space missions. Unless you are desperate to get your Fleet Commendations capped out (at 1000, will be upped in 1.2) and need to do the lower level quests, these will provide the best rewards for your time spent to acquire them.
Also, this shit right here.

Achievement Mission Terminals :
Several Achievement Mission Terminals are located in fleets of the two factions that now unlock achievement rewards for doing certain flashpoints, operations, etc.
These feats require boss kills and more to unlock special speeder skins/colors.
Warzone:
Novare Coast
Novare Coast is a majority control Warzone that pits two sides against each other
In order to win, a team will have to control two of the three turret control panels to damage the shielding opposing side's base
If interrupted, players can also continue the progress where they left off if they are able to get back to the panel before the other side proceeds to capture it in the other direction
The capture mechanic works almost like a tug of war centered on the points.
Interview with Georg Zoeller:
Operations:
We're not completely happy with the speed of some of the Operation's fixes.
We know there are a lot of pain points, especially in Eternity Vault with Soa.
We now have a very senior team now dedicated specifically to going through all the Operations to make sure that every single report is verified and fixed
Bugs: there is a dedicated team now dealing with these things and that should hopefully bring the response times more into a realm that we are happy with.
There is a lot more interaction between the core combat, the balance team, and the Operations design team at this point.
There are some pain points with area healing in Operations that we are addressing on the class side
Class Balance / Buffs / Nerfs:
Bounty Hunter Mercenary healers or Scoundrel healers: we bolstered their area healing capability with some nice quality of life changes to make their healing output more predictable and overall comfortable to play
We did some improvement on the Sage and the Sorcerer as well, but we also identified some bugs/exploits that we fixed that caused the class to over-perform.
Nerfs: it's obviously controversial if we decide we have to nerf something. I don't expect people to throw us a parade. Ultimately, people are going to be very unhappy.
There is the small-minded approach of "so many people play Sorcerer, BioWare is never going to touch them." No, that is not how it works.
So we did some changes there to rebalance that particular tree to move a bit out of the Tracer Missile, and require you to be more active in your combat style to achieve that kind of effect. You can call that a nerf. I call that housekeeping.
I created this drinking game in an attempt to hold guild interest until 1.2 comes out. Everyone is pretty burned out on the current content. Haven't had a chance to playtest this yet, but if all goes well, taking down Soa should provide an entertaining challenge.
If anyone has any ideas for rules to change/add, let me know.
All drinks must be consumed immediately and completed before resuming control of your character.
In the event of any ties, all tied players are considered losers and must drink.
Taking out the trash
A player is randomly assigned (e.g. /roll 1d8) as 'Leeroy'. If that player dies from trash, everyone else takes a drink. Leeroy may not pull bosses or more than 3 groups at a time. Suicides don't count. Leeroy then changes to another randomly assigned person.
Anytime Soa taunts, take a small drink
Bosses
If you die during a boss fight, take a big drink
During boss looting, all loot is assigned randomly. For each item you win, take a drink.
Annihilation Droid - Getting too close for comfort
Group 1 is on left turret. Group 2 is on right. Last to kill drinks.
Everyone stands inside the bosses targeting circle. If you step out or are knocked out of the circle, take a drink.
Gharj - Dance frenzy
Whenever Gharj frenzies, everyone dances. Last person to dance takes a drink.
Anytime you touch lava, take a drink (this includes when moving to new platforms).
Pylons - Lots of yelling
Split into 2 groups; Both groups stand at the chest until leader says go
Pylons can't be pre-solved or looked at ahead of time
Players must take turns pressing the buttons using the order they are within the group. Anyone going out of order takes a drink.
For each column, the last group to solve takes a drink
You may not press another group's buttons, but any other attempts at subterfuge and sabotage are allowed.
Council - Even in a drinking game this fight is boring
Last person to kill their target finishes their drink. Helping/interfering with others is allowed.
Soa - Touching other's balls is encouraged
If your lightning ball touches anyone else, take a drink for everyone it touches
If you get thrown up in the air or in a mind trap, slowly drink until you are free
If you die from falling, take three drinks instead of one
If a wipe/reset occurs because of a bug, everyone must say [insert phrase of your choice] in general chat. Last person to do so takes a drink.
Late last year, Stanford University announced that they would be offering a smattering of their courses online for free. Since then, they've run into numerous technical and legal problems getting the courses planned out and running. They've now sent out e-mails with start dates for the middle of this month, as well as some URL's for the class's instructors.
Of the courses offered, I've signed up for Game Theory (the mathmatical side of things), and Cryptography (security and communication).
Sign-ups are this week and next. Cryptography begins on March 12th, and emails for GT will be sent out this weekend with a planned start date of March 19th.
Let me add the emphasis that this is free, high-quality educational material being put forth by Stanford University. Should anyone be interested in going through this course material with me, feel free to get a hold of me!
