  1. I wonder if SSK'ing has been fixed. I couldn't find any new posts indicating it's working better, and there wasn't anything in the patch notes/known issues.

    Last I tested, it started getting buggy when you started tossing the active task around, but before that, tossing the star worked like a champ.

    I checked and the serial code is applied, but it would be sort of silly if it was the trial thing. What sort of trial account lets you play a character for 1 session and then not log in as them again?

    Sorry, that wasn't totally clear to me. In all the cases I've read about, though, I don't think I've ever seen a workaround.

    I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will post.

    I thought this might be a sort of trial thing, have to do the tutorial before you can make a villain, so I played through the tutorial, logged out and tried to create another character, it still jumps immediately to creating a Hero.

    I also found out that if I click on my first hero, the one I made for the tutorial, the "Enter Paragon City" button is grayed out. I'm running a fairly high end system with Vista, fully updated. I submitted a petition about each issue and only received a response saying it was escalated. I searched a fair amount on the forums and net, but couldn't find a thread with a similar issue.

    I created a second trial account, to see if it was possibly an issue with my account, but the second trial account experiences the same problem. I deleted and re-downloaded the client as well, but still receiving the same issues.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    Repent,

    This forum is for player to player support. You won't see anyone from NCsoft to help you. I'm guessing either your code wasn't applied correctly and you're on a trial account (easily checked by going to your plaync account), or there's something bugged on your account.

    You should go to the NCSoft support page and report it there. Go to the main City of Heroes site and click the support link at the top.
  4. Thanks! Xandor is back -- not like I was gone, but you get the picture.

    I'm guessing Going Rogue will follow a similar pattern.
    Stupid me -- I was looking at the wrong email. I got my invite into Closed beta on 8/17/05, and I should have realized that it wasn't first wave by this:
    "City of Villains is just wrapping up its “initial playability” milestone."

    And, a bit off-topic, I didn't think that I warranted my rep being damaged...'nuff said.

    I think I was close, as the email said "Should you accept this invitation, you will be among the first individuals from the online community to experience this new game, and we are thrilled to offer you the opportunity to play at this time."

    I guess to be more accurate, I may have been first wave of testers from the CoH community, or at least close to first wave.

    Reinstalling CoX

    There is also a link when you login to your master account and look at your subscription.
  10. How about this one? Looks like they're ready to come to blows, with me in the middle!



    Or maybe this one of me with Positron:

  11. I got annoyed when I went to edit my sig and it said I couldn't use more than 5 lines in my sig -- ah well, I was able to get around it.

    Maybe I'll replace with a sigpic, as that sounds cool.

    It'll take some getting used to, but I'm ok with it.

    Eco.
    If I recall correctly, they warned people to save their private messages as they wouldn't be transferred.

    I think the OP may have been referring to the end-of-beta event where the Rikti MOTHERSHIPS showed up over Atlas Park.

    [/ QUOTE ] This could be true. I'd like to see it also.

    Either way.. is it something we players can answer? lol

    Now THAT was an invasion! Devs as rikti -- and they even camped the hospital!!

    Yeah I did read up on the ED and it sounded like a good change.

    I'm enjoying it, I think the change adds a lot more diversity and skill to making proper builds instead of cookie cutter. I do remember tanks pulling entire warehouses and then just nuking them all down, it was fun but it did seem a little retarded lol.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    True, but I'll never forget the time I was with friends in a warehouse full of freaks. The tank went and taunted the entire warehouse and came back to us. Seeing the wave of Freakshow coming after him was the most amazing thing I've ever seen (too bad I didn't take a screenie).

    Oh, and welcome back! You can also find info on respeccing by talking to the trainers, but the links provided are an easier read.
  16. I'll be there! My first Comic-Con.

    Can't wait to meet everybody!
  17. Stupid windows live id....can't bloody sign in to buy the subscription!
  18. I'll be going to the Comic Con this year for the first time, and can't wait to see what they have in store.
  19. You have to go to the simulated contact in front of the big yellow portal. I believe it also explains it through the NPCs in the building.

    Right Click!!??

    I have a logitech bluetooth mouse that I use. It has 2 buttons and play sometimes on my Macbook. It runs pretty decent, surprisingly.

    !!! CoH Helper worked on Windows 7? And reported it as Vista SP1? Funky.

    (No Win7 beta here. I don't put OS betas on my precious! They hurtsss uss! NASTY Betasssss!)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Shouldn't be a surprise, the kernel is basically the same as Vista and it still reports itself as windows version 6.xxx.

    I was wondering, what about the new boards? I thought they were supposed to go live with Issue 13? (Curse my search-fu as I can't find the post about it).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't think it was ever stated that they would go live with Issue 13. You may be remembering when they announced that the new forums would be used for the closed beta period of Issue 13 testing.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hence why I qualified my statement with the words "I thought". But I was certain I read somewhere about them replacing the boards, because right now they don't mesh with the new website.
