    Page 2 is "Not Coming Back".

    Yes.

    Not to be snarky, but questions like this and "can it run 2 instances?" and "does it have to stay resident while the client is running?" and "does it give access to in-game video settings" can all be answered by actually running the NCSoft Launcher and looking through all its settings. It only takes a minute.

    Go ahead, give it a test run. Look under the hood, too.

    Windows 7 issue

    Try completely uninstalling the video drivers and then reinstalling them.

    Also, please post the results of...

    HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.

    The New NCSoft Launcher isn't integrated for the Live Servers... yet.

    Test the New NCSoft Launcher only for the Test and Beta (if you have access) Servers for now.
  5. I don't know if the Stalker Moonbeam works exactly like the blast set version, but, Interruption Reduction enhancers does wonders for the power. It enables me to use it even while in melee chaos. Also, with the Interrupt Reduction, you can start moving before the animation completes and it still goes off.

    It will eventually replace the old launcher completely. However, for now, for the Live client, it uses the old launcher.

    For this test, test how it works with the Test Server... that's how it will eventually work for the Live Servers.
  7. Creating a Separate Desktop Shortcut

    Subjective: I like the ability to create an Icon for each install (Live, Test, Beta). This, coupled with having the Launcher terminate upon starting a client, gives me the same functionality I've always had with the old updaters. I like that.


    Objective: When creating a shortcut for each install, there's no way to change the Icon through the Launcher. And when attempting to choose a different icon through the Properties of the shortcut, I get this message:

    ! Windows can't find the file %ProgramFiles%\NCSoft\Launcher\Config/Default/Icons/coh.ico.

    Probably because the path is half DOS and half Unix.

    But even if the path was correct, there is only one CoH icon in ..Default/Icons/*.*, namely, the default Heroside launcher icon. There should also be the default Villainside launcher icon, the default GR launcher icon and the all-cities icon from the Going Rogue disc.

    Of course, I know how to find the usual icons from the other .exe files through browsing, but, it should be easier. There should be these:



    (Actually, these don't look so great to begin with. Some new art that looks good at the resolution would be nice.)

    The original post by PuceNonagon mentioned Dr. Q and the shards reward schedule.

    reialla mentioned how at 44 you're not getting Alpha slot benefits.

    However, one of the benefits of the Alphs slot is getting shard drops.

    This is where the confusion began.

    So, yes indeed, shards were part of the discussion, Roderick ( ). But in the ambiguous language of 'Alpha slot benefits' the topic got muddled between the Universal Enhancement power of a slotted Alpha Slot and the benefits of simply having an Alpha Slot unlocked.

    But to make clear and I concur: at Level 44, your Alpha Slot enhancements won't be working, but, if you have the Alpha Slot unlocked, you will get Shards and any special Incarnate rewards that may be part of Dr. Q being the WST.
  11. There were some major tweaks to Ninja Run jump animations after it went live... so, here's hoping...

    Hai guyz...

    Welcome <adblock avatar> back!

  14. Snow and Firefly, as freebies, are now part of the set of basic auras that need to be unlocked at level 30.

    Auras purchased through a booster/pack are available from creation.
  15. Just bought 2, one for each account with no problems.

    Edit: With my Visa (debit card)

  17. The first post of this thread has all the info you need for the contact tree and for making sure you don't cut off a branch of a tree before you get to do it (can't give Cleo flowers if you've already killed her).

    Yes, but not now, when Issue 20 goes Live. Later.
