Title: Arena login hint screens
Post by: Otterpop on February 29, 2008, 02:06:21 AM
The hint screen that pops up right before you enter an arena is really cool, but goes by so fast, it's hard to catch all the info.  Any way to allow it to be onscreen a bit longer?  A setting I could change on my end?    Thanks,
Otterpop

It also goes by very quickly on my screen. I don't think you can change that unless you down grade your computer. LOL

Turn on the preload skins thingy, then you'll have a couple of minutes to read it.

Don't bother. Some of it is nice, but some are just plain weird!

Some examples: (not exact on the words, but you get the gist.)

"Did you know the little squirrels with cameras are for your protection?"

"Did you know carpaccio is raw beef? Don't let Sudz order it."

"The check six you hear is Hitech. Most players change it as soon as possible."

I see nothing wrong with those, part humor part truth.

Nothing could be closer to the truth, check the tree's alot more and you will understand.

anyone got a picture of these "squirrels". About the only time I'm close enough to look at trees is when I'm dodging inbetween them at 300 MH with 5 La's on my butt!

that one always makes me smile - a friend of mine got taken to the Oak Room in London (veeeery exclusive restaurant) for lunch and unwittingly picked carpaccio. then had to get through 1/2lb of raw meat and look like it was his favorite food so he didnt look like an idiot in front of his fiancee's parents :lol

depends how fast your computer is.... if its "too fast" you wont get to read them long.

for instance if AH is still in my ram, i get about 2 seconds to read it lol.

That's fixed in the next version.  It only flies by if you aren't configured to preload textures.

Pyro, I think your type writer ribbon needs changed because the end of you post is unreadable. The part where you tell us when it will be released.  :D

He used invisible ink.   Hold a lighter or match next to your monitor screen, you can see it....

You could try clicking pre-load whatever (forget atm).  Will preload all the terain and whatever before you go into the arena.  Allows me to look at it and the game runs very nice once I'm in.

What about it running off to the side?  I cant read the last 4 or 5 characters on the first line.  I am running 1440 x 900 if that helps.

I also have characters cut off at the end of the screen, but sadly I don't recall what resolution I'm running without looking.

Airscrew,

We all know you need lemon juice to read invisible ink.  He should submerge his computer in lemon juice and then he can read it.  JEEZZZZ
