Random is random.

The more one attacks higher ranked foes, the more one experiences a higher shard drop rate.
There can be a real correlation between A and B, but not because one causes the other, but because C causes both. -
Quote:So... you don't know if they're using .NET or not in the current NCSoft Launcher?Originally Posted by je_saist
Now, does the potential use of .NET in NCSoft's launcher mean that I'll stop subscribing and go play another game?

Quote:Right now the NCSoft Launcher can fully replace the old launcher for the Beta and Test installs. However, it still accesses the old launcher for the Live client.Originally Posted by Shadow Wail
Once I have the launcher installed and we are forced to use this to log in, can I remove the installations on my comp or do I have to keep all three installed and the launcher?
Once it is configured to start the Live client, you can get rid of the old launchers. In fact, the time will come when the old launchers won't work for you anymore. -
Quote:The games' click-bars are rather narrow and could stand to be widened, I agree.Originally Posted by Celtic_Coders
Subjective: With the old launcher I had to click two buttons, both are a large size and easy to target. With the NCsoft launcher, I need to click the game name and a button. While the button is large and easy to target, the game name is not. Two possible solutions are to either increase the text font size or to pad above and below the game name to make the clickable target area larger.
If you want ease of start-up, you can, through the NCSoft Launcher, create a desktop icon for each install of the game (and set the NLauncher to terminate upon client start-up). Then, when you launch the game through the desktop icon, it's just one click start-up. -

Exploit Farming: Kill it with fire. -
Quote:Orrrr.... Have the NCSoft Launcher start a fresh install, which creates those registry entries, then stop it. Then copy over piggs. Then restart the NCSoft Launcher and tell it to fix the piggs.Originally Posted by UberGuy
They could let you point it at an install directory. That seems like a pretty decent compromise. If they don't do something like this, we're probably going to have to add registry hacks to the existing copy trick instructions, which is not pretty for non-technical users.
You know... just like I posted above.
Although... I should test it to see if it works that way.

Level shifts do not allow slotting before it's time. So, if Level 49 pets can't use Purples, then Level 49+1 pets can't use Purples.

Nihilii has a belief that the Devs should understand try to understand what experience led to that belief.
Has he provided enough information? Probably not, but is his feedback useless? Hardly. -
Agreed! People who wield guns should be immune to bullets! Just like real life!

Quote:Did you have any feedback that comes from actually using the NCSoft Launcher that could help alleviate your concerns about it, or, do you an unfounded a priori hatred of the NCSoft Launcher based on hearsay?Originally Posted by Nihilii
I suspect I'm too much of an addict to stop playing forever due to the NCSoft Launcher, but I sure am glad I'm paying month per month.
Also, this is worth quoting over and over everytime some PR ******** about "listening to the playerbase" comes up.
Because this feedback you just left is simply useless. -

Seriously, do I really need FIVE IDENTICAL NOTIFICATIONS, each with a different name on it, that I have to click through one at a time every time I roll a new character? Heck, after the first time, I don't even need one, but combining them to a single message screen would be tolerable.

Quote:That functionality is indeed present. It's easily found in the menus and it's mentioned in this thread.Originally Posted by Dark Quill
Subjective:
If this is going to be mandatory, then there needs to be a way to make a shortcut to the launcher so that you can click on one shortcut and it goes ahead and launches a particular game. Having to tell the launcher which game I want to play is annoying. It's almost as ridiculous as the 'Next' button in the current launcher. -
Ten more Tip missions and he can go from Vigilante to Villain!

Quote:That is correct.Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
The pets (Vanguard HVAS/Shivans/etc) do not count against/for the damage taken badge from the mines correct? Meaning if a pet gets hit by a mine but no actual person does, everyone should get the badge right?

Quote:It might have worked if you asked the NCSoft launcher to install the Test Client, then stopped it. Then asked it to repair the files.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
Objective:
I didn't have Test installed, so I did the copy trick (copied the City of Heroes folder to CohTest, and removed the checksum file) and then installed the NCSoft installer. The NCSoft Installer did NOT find my CohTest, although it did find the regular City of Heroes and CohBeta.
Just saying: to do the copy trick, I need to use the old cohupdater.exe. The NCSoft Installer can't figure out that it has to update CohTest. This'll be a big pain if I have to actually download the whole thing to get NCSoft Installer to recognize it. (I.e., if cohupdater.exe ever goes away.)
EDIT:
Confirmed. After running cohupdater.exe for Test, the NCSoft Installer found the test install and listed it for me to choose. I didn't have the filename messed up or anything like that, just a short download from test and I was ready to go.
Or... ask the NCSoft launcher to install the Test Client, then stop it, then copy over the files from Live, then ask it to repair.
A new install for Live, Test, or Beta puts info in Windows' Registry that keeps track of which directory that client is stored in. For the copy trick to work, a launcher, any launcher, needs to start a new install to put those lines in the Registry. After that, copy tricks work.
But the new NCSoft Launcher is dumb in that it doesn't auto-repair if your files are wrong. And I've already given the Devs my opinion about *that*.

If you don't want to go the nearly free route with Tip Missions, trading in Merits for Alignment Merits and less than 100 mil inf will get you all you need.

Quote:If you use the NCSoft Launcher to make a Desktop Shortcut for the client and then set the NCSoft Launcher to not remain running when the client is launched, you can avoid seeing the presence of those other games.Originally Posted by KuriositysKat
This is my feeling on this too. I LOATHE this obnoxious hinting it sets my teeth on edge, please give us an option to hide the uninstalled games.
Although, if this were three years ago, you'd be seeing Dungeon Runners and maybe other free to play games you might be interested in. Some of those games you see now may become free to play.
Also, this may be the groundwork laid for an NCSoft pay-one-price pass to all those games.
