If you went and see a psychologist, you probably be given the "Cognitive-Relaxation Program". Before I go on explaning it, I shall exaplain one of the most common way of controlling anger/agression which is catharsis. Catharsis is a psychologoical process through which anger or aggressive energy is released by expressing or letting out powerful negative emotions. According to this concept, a good way to deal with anger or aggression is to "let off steam," which means expressing strong negative emotions by yelling, aruging, hitting or kicking something. However most research does not support the usefulness of catharsis. The researcher conculded that venting to let anger out is like pouring gasoline on a fire, it only adds fuel and makes the anger worse. (Bushman, 2002) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the "Cognitive-Relaxation Program": 1. It begins with you observing and later writing down your behaviours (feeling tense) and anger producing thoughts (stfu). This process is called self-moinitoring and helps you to make a record of the anger-producing thoughs and behaviours that you may not have been aware of and that trigger and maintain your anger. 2. Next, you should learns a method to quickly relax yourself on cue(*progressive relaxation*) so that you will be able to redue your body tension and arousal. 3. Than make a list of positive thoughts so that you can subsitute for the anger-producing ones. Being able to relax on cue is important because it's very hard to get angry if you're relaxed. Researchers found that this congitive relaxation program has proved very effective in helping individuals reduce and control their anger Overview: http://www.whatcomcounts.org/whatcom/mo ... ce&pid=666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Progressive Relaxation*= Involves practicing tensing and relaxing the major muscle groups of the body until you are able to relax any groupd of muscles at will. 1. Begin by first tensing and relaxing your toes and then continuing up the body, tensing and relaxing the muscles of your calves, thighs, pelvis, stomach, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, face and forehead. 2. Repeat for several week, daily for 20 minutes per session and you should be able to use this exercise to relax your body at will, especially immediately after being stressed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cognitive-Relaxation Program is like you have fear of doing something and you go to a Psychologist and they do a systematic desensitization on you. Hope this helps as this cost you no money but only time. It is one of the most effective and no-cost therapy I could think of atm. Try to do that in a relaxing environment though, it might helps a little.

I know they are poor choice of range ammo to train with. But I'm just wondering what do they hit like. (example, is it like between steel and black or what?)

What do they hit like? Are they any good?

First Account: I remember I created him, when I'm like 11 years old and that time my vocabualry isn't that great (plus english isn't my first language which make matter worse) so I sort of "erase him out of my memory" because the username seems to attract alot of "bots hunter" and player mods =.= Second Account: Forget password + recovery Third Account: Got Hack I'm currently using my fourth account. Been playing with different accounts for years..

Hmm, I know that Ring of Wealth can affect monsters drop based on their drop tables. But I'm thinking that since the reward on the impressiveness of the kills in PVP world is based on drop tables, wouldn't it be affecting the rewards gain? Since both the drops from player and monster are random and depend on the drop table? Also, thanks for clearing out for the charms things as earlier I'm wondering that does ring of wealth just affect the charms drop rate or does the ring of wealth also affect the type of charms gain. I also have the same thoughts with you, but I want some answers as other than players, some monster can summon about minions to help them (even though they might not be called familiars). Also, it would be good to have higher defence on some of the titans and their special.

For Magic it is: "As your Magic skill increases so does your defence against magical attacks." So my question is does higher summoning levels affect your defence against your opponent familiars? My second question is: Does Ring of Wealth affect PVP drops? Also does a ring of wealth increase a chances of getting a blue charm instead of a green charm?

Ya but with the money I spend on that 1 staff for 60 minutes of combat I could buy 21 corrupted for 5.25 hours of combat. The corrupted are a better bang for your buck any way you put it. That's the where the confusion start, when a discussion on melee weapon ends up with you dragging the staff as an example. That's why I said this after saying how the weapon is better to be use for it's special: Try not to twist the argument back against me?

And you were saying how good corrupted version is when you compared the corrupted ones with the non-corrupted version? Lol, forcing your opinion onto some other people isn't really nice. What I see is that you keep refering them as junk without any stastics.

My bad, I was trying to uses an example to say why corrupted version is not better. I'm more of a supporter of using the non-corrupted version. I've only tried the non-corrupted version, didn't bother to try the corrupted version. Anyway I think people would use those weapons for their specials not for normal training.

Ya but with the money I spend on that 1 staff for 60 minutes of combat I could buy 21 corrupted for 5.25 hours of combat. The corrupted are a better bang for your buck any way you put it. It depend on cirumstances, you can't really presume that every single minutes of using those 21 corrupted staffs that you are doing dmg without any lapse in-between. Also, I use my staff to spam the occassional misamic barrage and switch to master wand to do ice barrage, it really depends on how you are going to attack. Even for let says the weapon, if you are using them just for the special: Special Energy recovers from 0% to 100%= 5 min One corrupted weapon= 15 min = 3 specials 21 corrupted weapons= 3 * 21= 63 specials One weapon= 60 min of combat It took the most 5 secs to use a special and switch back. Amount of uses of special per non-corrupted weapon= 720 Even if you take 10 secs to do a special you can still do 360 special with your weapon, which is alot more than the corrupted weapons.

Corrupt Statius's Warhammer: 15 min (once you start equiping it, the 15 min will start) Statius's Warhammer: 60 min of combat (when you start equiping it and you are not in combat, the 60 min will not start).

Which guy did you talk to? I think after slug menance you need to talk to Jeb to go there, not the original Holgart guy.

As long as it is on the first page it is fine. Sticky doesn't help much, technology changes all the time, a few months later there would probably be new and better software that will replace those that I've mention. And I can't gurantee that I will be updating and testing the lastest security software forever. Hate to break it to you but this thread will die soon. Last thread in the front page is 30th september last I check, so it still be able to last a few days. Hate to burst your bubble, I create this thread to inform other people of some surprising good and free software. I hope I have "broaden" your narrow-mind a little, that I spend my time creating thread that might help, instead of spending my time flaming other people.

After searching around I didn't see any thread on free and useful software that protect the computer and thus I decided to make a thread on free and useful software that aid your computer safety. Hope it would be useful to you all. I don't think download links is allow here, so just google the key terms and you will find the website to install. ALL THIS SOFTWARE LISTED BELOW ARE FREE Anti-Virus Software I rank the anti-virus software according to how effectively can they churn out results and detect virus, and how much memory usage did they use 1. Avast Home Edition I find that it have among the highest detection rate of virus and trojan among the free anti-virus. Also downloading new defination is fast and lagless and it don't hog system resource. Plus, you can also customise the skin you want your anti-virus to have. However, during scanning, you will need to baby-sit it, that means whenever it found a virus, it will pause it's scan and ask you for permission on what to do. 2. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition AVG is pretty decent, but AVG's virus system scan takes more system resource that Avast and it take longer to download a defination file. 3. Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus This anti-virus is what it is say here. BUT defination file have to be downloaded manual and there is very few server for free anti-virus user, so by the time you have the new defination file, it might be already too late. Also, removing this anti-virus is a pain, you need to use some software uninstaller to remove it (I will recommend one) later in the thread, and after removing it, it left traces of it in the registry. Spyware Removers I rank the spyware removers according to how they remove a huge group of spywares (Trusted Anti-Virus) and based on their performance and ranked them. (Trusted Anti-Virus is a Malware and Spyware combine, it could disable your window task manager, change your browser setting, terminate your spyware from scanning it, it is very very annoying. 1. Spyware Doctor Starter Edition It does it's scan very fast and quick, it counter Trusted Anti-Virus attempt to terminate it, it is the type of spyware where you can install it and left it there alone and it will automatically install updates and scan and remove the spyware for you. 2. Ad-Aware 2008 Some say it should rank the top, as it have one of the most aggressive way of detecting spyware and adware, but in term of user ease of using it: it is not that user friendly as definations file need to be done manually and when scanning it simply hog too much system resources and make it very unfriendly towards multi-task. In some case, not only does it take ages to scan and many a time the spyware remover would just "lag" there and not responding. 3. Spyware Terminator It does what it says and it scan very fast and effectively, but it's detection rate is weaker than Ad-Aware and Spyware Doctor, the most useful functions is the real-time sheild as it basically mointor every simple process and start-up that happen and you could prevent trojan from installing to your computer. It is better than Spyware Blaster in this case. Spybot Search & Destroy, a few years back it was one of the top, spyware removers but now time have change. It is now over-rated now as it not only fail to prevent and remove that spyware I install, it crash my computer over and over again. And somehow it deleted my windows installer and labelled it as a spyware. That is what happen to me too. Another quote, which mentions about Spybot verus Malware, I will recommend some good Malware Removers Later Alright, I hope now you see what Spybot S & D isn't that good anymore. Malware Remover Malware, a portmanteau word from the words malicious and software, is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent. The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code. Many computer users are unfamiliar with the term, and often use "computer virus" for all types of malware, including true viruses. I just find it like somewhere in between spyware and anti-virus. 1. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware One of the best free Malware remover out there. 2. A-squared Free Detection rate is decent, it terms of Spyware, Adware, Malware and virus it is like a "jack of all trades". Now it is prevention better than cure part. The first part of prevention would be the our "first-line of defence" firewalls. Firewalls If you want a strong security foundation, you'll need sturdy walls to keep invaders out. The first line of defense against would-be attackers on your computer system is a strong firewall program. 1. ZoneAlarm Firewall It is good but over-rate. If your computer domain is some Internet or Public Domain than don't use this firewall. The vista-version of this firewall is horrible, much worse than the XP version. 2. Comodo Firewall Pro As good as Zone Alarm, maybe even better, but when you are installing something, you would fare better switching to installation mode otherwise, you will get nag every few seconds. Alternative line of Defence Firewall, cannot defence every single aspect, below are some free software which are equally as good. 1. SnoopFree Privacy Shield ^^^^ 2. WinPatrol Works like Hjackthis, I prefer WinPatrol over it, much more user friendly. 3. ProcessGuard Works well, but be sure to disable if you want to use the Task Manager to shut down a programme.

Terror Birds + Unlimited Run using the Abyss isn't that slower than Graahk. Double Cosmic Also earn decent money too. With one Graahk I can craft around 4.1k nats (around 2k) With one Terror Bird I can craft around 2.6k nats (around 1.3k) 1. Salt-water spring to have unlimited run for an amount of time 2. Summon Graahk and click on it to tele you (the spot is North of that Fairy Ring) 3. Run to the Nature Altar 4. Glory or Duel Rings back (Duel Ring to CW faster) 5. Repeat 6. When quicken effect run-out, use enegry pot This method is costly unless you can double nats

PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 4 Comodo Firewall Pro Online Armor Ashampoo FireWall 1.2 All are free. Otherwise get a firewall together with a security suite. I personally find Zone Alarm over-rated.

If it's help my Internet Explorer has the adds on "Free Download Manager", "IE7Pro 2.4" and "Spyware Blaster" to prevent spyware from getting through the security loopholes. Maybe my suspicions is wrong, but I think the trojan and virus get in through Internet Explorer as the password I use there all got changed. However the password in Opera browser remains secure. (Let say 20% is secure) I use Internet Explorer to Google and search stufts, anime and watch youtube videos, I did not go to some "naughty, forbidden" website, nor download/open any unknown attachment. Should I use Encription and RoboForm (a password encription software) to protect my computer? What I'm also confuse is that does Proxy, Privacy Cleaner actually helps?

I use the Internet Explorer at home but my computer domain is a public domain share by everybody in the school. Because in the school, we need to log on to that domain to use the school free wireless network and other services. PC Tools Spyware Doctor Detect it as I shedule daily scan and the result is as follows: Threat Name - Application.Absolute_Key_Logger Type - Registry Key Risk Level - High (It sounds like some commerical key logger) And Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware found a trojan, that trojan was annoying as it keep trying to terminate this, in the end I have to use ProcessGuard to deal with it. Ad-Aware did a scan and found a threat-high, that is called "Anti-Spyware" or something. That trojan (or the virus bundle with it) prevent me from using TweakNow RegCleaner Std but my other registry cleaner Glary Registry Repair and CCleaner is not affected. It also prevent Windows Defender from auto-updating. Plus, it also corrupted one of my files, that I have to restart my computer and uses Chkdsk. But I still don't understand how it went pass Spyware Terminator (Real-Time Sheild), WinPatrol, SnoopFree Privary Sheild and COMODO firewall. Basically one file with a keylogger name and two file with some trojan name inside and all are threat level high. I'm just confused and curious how did that Trojan and Keylogger went through all the defence utilities I've installed.

I used to have this problem too, but it got resolved after I remove Spybot Search and Destory. Plus, Spybot S & D does not have favourable reviews in PcMag and Cnet too. Why not try to install a registry cleaner, like CCleaner to see if it's help first? I don't think you need to reboot. Just open the task manager and terminate Internet Explore or FireFox process, like iexplore[Caution: Executable File] and start again?

Thanks for the tip! I would already deleted Internet Explorer if not for my School Insistance to only allow Internet Explorer user to access the website. Plus, I need to access it to check my time table, home work and stufts everyday. But why is Norton consider bad? Initally my school install Macafee on all our laptop, but I uninstall it as I found it hog too much system resource. Also,does encription work in such cases? So is there any way to make Internet Explorer more secure? I tried some utilities and pop-up blocker that doesn't really work well.

When I was at Caged Ogres, Dorg Xbow continuously outperformed my msb and bronze arrows. Imo, msb is a terrible ranged training weapon. Because you use bronze arrows. MSB + Bronze Arrow is weaker than Bone Crossbow + Bone Bolts. But if you use better arrows, MSB is not a terrible ranged training weapon.
