Quote:They do? My MA/Regen has no real problems (except when I just came back 6 months ago and my timing was completely off). The only defense she has is MoG and a 2.5% to all positional bonus from the full set of Gaussian's in FA (which was put in for the regen bonus, the need for end reduction, and the proc). And she's not even built for recharge, but for massive amounts of passive regen. Ended up tanking Rommie as the only non-squishy on the team. Died a few times, but no more than usual, and usually only when I jumped headfirst into a mob expecting something to recharge faster than it did.Originally Posted by Deus_Otiosus
Have you ever noticed that resistance and regen need to build for defense if they want survivability?
I dare you to take a resistance or regen based scrapper - build for zero defense (that includes no katana/BS) and then take it on the ITF and see how much fun that is. -

I once teamed with a guy who was running a warshade named something like "a little bunny" and saw much hilarity come from that.
I keep trying to think of some name along those lines that I wouldn't mind living with for 40-odd levels as well, but no luck so far. -
Quote:Funnily enough, it still uses Coca leaves, just "denatured" ones, where the cocaine has been removed from them (before cocaine was illegal, they were spent leaves, from after the cocaine had been processed), for the flavor (hence the coca in the name, while the cola comes from cola nuts).Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
technically, that wasn't the classic formula for Coca-cola either considering Coke used to use Cocaine back when it was still considered a healthy, helpful, wonder drug.

Quote:You realize that the bugs being found were specifically tested in Beta and were not seen there, right? This is because Beta and Live are two different environments, and stuff that seems fine in Beta with a few hundred or thousand testing it can break with a few hundred thousand in a slightly different environment.Originally Posted by Black_Strike
Well, you will not be able to log on tonight. We are experiencing yet another unsceduled Server Shut-Down. During Prime time on a Friday Night no less. Way to go Devs!!!!! You guys keep sticking to your favorite few Beta Testers, and hope for the best. We can all see the results clearly.

Quote:MS has a good knowledge base article on how to do a "clean boot" to make sure there's not a bunch of stuff running in the background (basically, use msconfig to knock almost everything off of startup and reboot).Originally Posted by ebon3
Damn, thats 8 gigs of RAM, oh well.
The wipe really doesn't bother me since I tend to do that on a regular basis (the OS just seems to bog down after a few years on installs and removals) and everything I want to keep is pretty much in one folder (game saves, ect) -

Honestly, the best way to get people to run Doc Q is to make it the WST. After all, anyone would run it for 244 merits. :P

Quote:From a quick survey of microsoft.com, your system is boned. You may need to get a LiveCD (Linux, WinPE) of some sort, back up the data you need, and wipe and reinstall Windows. And you need to make sure you don't have too much stuff running while you try to install SP1 again, as the error you got is usually caused by running out of free RAM. Unfortunately, when a Service Pack installation goes awry, it's not removable, or roll-backable 99% of the time.Originally Posted by ebon3
Well after a recovery it did?
I've had the sorry misfortune of updating my OS and during the course of the update I encountered "Fatal Error C000009A", unfortunately I can't roll back to before the Win7 Utlmiate SP1 update and for some reason The NCsoft Launcher and by association CoH will not launch.
I click on the NCsoft Launcher and all I get is an instant "NCsoft Launcer has stopped working" on a reltated note My APC Powerchute UPS monitoring software is doing the same thing.
I unistalled both programs reinstalled and made sure I was running as the admin. Prior to MS turning out this patch I had no problems. -
Like all Incarnate stuff, it works down to 45.

Quote:UStream doesn't have that. Which is another reason I suggested Justin, since they have a channel subscription feature which does email you when they start streaming.Originally Posted by Leandro
Looks like I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on USTREAM from now on.
I'm trying to find out if it will send me email notifications when a channel starts streaming, but I couldn't find anything so far. -
Quote:I didn't see any rednames respond in chat, only longtime forum posters.Originally Posted by Aoide Muse
Oh they responded at times. By telling people to do stuff they just said they'd done, or it'd 'work eventually'.
And on top of that, it was just the CoH Live feed that was doing this. I went to half a dozen other UStream feeds, almost all which were live, and they worked fine, even with multiple running in different tabs at the same time, which in turn made the non-working CoH feed even more frustrating.

Maybe they don't know because it's getting drowned out in the chatflood.

Quote:This is what people who are having install problems through Windows Update should do.Originally Posted by Soul_Stormer
glad to hear someone found a work-around. luckily i did what Microsoft told me not to and it seemed to work fine: download the SP3 patch directly and apply it myself. took almost an hour between the DL and install and no obvious problems so far - and CoX finally ran.

Quote:Actually, there was that exact complaint thanks to critical defense debuff cascade from the Romans. And then people worked out how to beat that.Originally Posted by elvnsword09
Yes, but the Nictus' heal didn't completely negate anyone's powers. a Tank's ability is: "The Tanker can take it and dish it out all at once. The Tanker primarily can absorb vast amounts of damage, and hold his own in a fist fight. But the Tanker lacks any long range punch. The Tanker would prefer just to charge straight ahead anyway." Frankly, in the BAF, they can't take it, they simply face plant... it's ridiculous...

Quote:I seem to recall nearly the exact same complaints about ITF on its launch (with a side-order of "you mean my pets are buffing the healing nictus' heal? What am I supposed to do now?), and now the thing is nearly trivial.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Speak for yourself. This isn't fun, or challenging. The plethora of high acc, high dam and high AoE, along with cheaty auto-hit powers make this a freaking nightmare, especially for MMs.
-
Quote:Hmm... that may be true, but then again, remember how much wailing and gnashing of teeth there was for ITF at its launch. This will be the same.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Except it won't be. Alpha is IO'd to the gills, and I know very well how to play him. A challenge, for me, no involves running permanantly at x8 and with varying levels of +level, or against things like Romans, who still provide a suitable challenge.
The Trials don't do that, not for MMs. They say 'Whatever you have is going to get neutered, your pets are going to be one shotted in a tide of AoE, and we're going to auto-hit snipe you when you try and resummon them somewhere safe. Lol at you.'
Of course, some people might like frustrating cheap tricks and auto-hit powers that masquerade as a 'challenge'. -
Quote:It's not a speed snoop. It polls information on multi-threading/multi-core so that the game can take advantage of those. And yes, it is a call that MS could have probably patched compatible with SP2, but they didn't, because they tend to stop supporting service packs a couple years after the next one launches.Originally Posted by Psychic Guardian
Several of US can't update. For me it causes me to wipe my OS to resume use of the PC. It's not like it's a giant super-cool system they added to the game making it obsolete either. It's a stupid processor speed snoop.

Quote:Its a call not available in pre-SP3 WinXP, that allows the game to take advantage of multi-threading and multi-core processors. They aren't "heartlessly booting XP users out the door", pre-SP3 XP users are simply an unfortunate side-effect of making the game run better for people with multi-threading or multi-core (which is available on rather inexpensive computers now. I paid 600 bucks for a dual-core laptop back in '05).Originally Posted by drifter66
Is anyone else getting this issue...when I try to log into CoH thru NCSoft launcher is get error popup "The procedure entry point GetLogicProcessor Information could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated

Quote:Hmmm... I may have to do a Linux partition on the new rig and see what happens, then. Although the last time I tried getting WINE to work on my old computer, I couldn't get any games to work, due to my particular video card not playing well with it.Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
WINE's come a long way recently, and I think I heard that the Cedega project got a new name and is free now.

Quote:Honestly, it's nice to know that my MM will finally be challenged by something. MMs really do make a lot of this game trivial with some of the stuff they can do. (Granted, I do hope this is also a bit of "after the fact, not exactly straight remembering" for it, as it sounds a bit more brutal than, say, Vanguard vs. Melee.)Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
As soon as it became timed and required stuff, y'know, run past and avoided? Yeah. Woop de frigging do. Thanks for letting MM's 'rely' on freaking retard pets that don't get that running into Melee with giant mobs is a terrible move. Thank you SO much for having the Trials be the only realistic way of getting the new stuff, without being robbed blind by stupid bloody arbitrary barriers...

Quote:This is exactly what I needed, since I'm horrible at judging attack chains and such. And this is mostly just a thought-exercise at this point, and I'm more likely to go to about 50%-ish, drop the nerve for musculature, and rely on the fact that about 75% of the playerbase seems to take leadership now to do stuff like stand toe-to-toe with Bobcat.Originally Posted by Werner
Damage looks problematic. Follow Up and Focus are critical to high DPS, and they're both badly underslotted.
Unless, maybe Spiritual will provide better DPS with its recharge (as a side note, I almost always have SB as this character is perma-duoed to my girlfriend's Mind/Kin).
