I'm getting periods of 30 to 40 minutes with forum pages hanging and refusing to load. And then a few minutes where they're working ok. During that time when I can't get in http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com is saying that it can find the page OK.
For the past two days I've been experiencing immediate "can not find page" where the browser isn't even looking. That gets fixed with ipconfig /flushdns in a Command Window.
But the hanging on loading doesn't get fixed with a DNS flush.
Switching from Firefox to IE doesn't help, either. -

We have auras that only operate in combat, how about the reverse so we can get the sort of flutter of leaves or doves while posing before or after a fight -
It is consistently good. Keep watching. I'm anxious for the second half of the season to start, which I believe is this Thursday.
As well as Parks and Recreation which had a rocky 1st half of the first season but is now really good.
And 30 Rock is always excellent. -

What are your devs thinking?? Sorry... first let me say great idea to come up with a way for the higher toons to play some new stuff... HOWEVER... virtually the whole incarnate system requires you to play with teams!!!
... that makes this whole new system extremely hard and useless for the people that like to play solo. You should have setup different options for solo players and teams (like solo taking longer than teams for example.)
Second: Before this start of the Incarnate System, what have you been doing with your 50s these past 6 years?
Third: CoH sorely needed a End-Game Raiding system. While that may not be your cup of tea, it is what *a lot* of MMO players like. And as far as End-Game Raiding Systems go, this one is probably the most 'casual' you can get. And the easiest for those who normally solo to occasionally team up with others.
Fourth: In all likelihood, once the mechanics of having Incarnate Powers is sorted out and balanced for End-Game Raiding, the Devs will then add End-Game Solo Questing. Sorry, but the Raiding aspect has their full attention... for now. It *is* an MMO, after all. *Massive.* *Multi-player.*
Hah! If server load and global channels are any indication. I18 and I19 have increased player participation.Quote:Considering the massive drop in COH subscriptions
You'll know when subs have really and actually gone significantly down when servers merge and we go free-to-play (which for other MMOs has actually increased player activity and income -- so, that's not as doomy as it sounds).
Can I have your stuff?Quote:This is a disappointment and after this month I am just canceling coh. There is just nothing a higher solo toon can really do! -

The 3rd End Mod Enhancement will be severely reduced by ED.
Two End Mods and the Performance Shifter +End Proc is the most efficient slotting. -
Quote:When you use O2 Boost with the Proc in it, for the next 120 seconds the effects should show up in the Combat Attributes like this:Originally Posted by Berzerker_NA
I was assuming it would apply to the power's target. So, I put it on a targeted heal so I could apply the effect to other players.
Anyway, it's not affecting the targets (using it on a henchman was just a way to test that), and it's not affecting me either. It just plain isn't affecting anyone.

I was on a team the other day, and something crossed my mind, why the HELL does a Vacuum or Scrub Bot have Flame Thrower installed on their wrist? Even at that, why do Repair and Hauler Bots have Plasma Cannons on their backs? I suppose if a a water spot doesn't want to go away, a Scrub bot can just flame Throw it. Just a thought.

Dude, I will look at Chris Evans in just about anything (though I tend to enjoy it more the less he has on)... *sigh*... What did I come in here to say?

OK, just tested it and the Alpha powers are very smart: The +Dam from Musculature does *not* increase the damage of Dark Servant's Tenebrous Tentacles.
It does make Swan bounce higher, tho. -

Quote:True... but, they didn't exclude Tenebrous Tentacles from accepting Damage Enhancements, the excluded Dark Servant from getting it.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Problem with that, Zombieman - the alpha slot's universal/global enhancement buff was meant to work as if slotted in the power - thus Musculature should not buff Fluffy's tentacles. At least, that's the design intent. For example, Mind Link isn't meant to benefit from Spiritual's recharge enhancement.
But, Dark Servant *can* be slotted with damage with the HO Dam/Mez. And when it is, it does indeed increase the damage for TT. This is something I tested after Dark Servant was excluded from taking Dam Enhancements.
The Alpha power should work the same way unless they did something very specific to the coding to disallow it.
I'll test it out when I get a chance to. -

"Universal Enhancement" is becoming the normative description of part of the Alpha Slot power (the other major part is the Level Shift).
A 'Universal Enhancement' affects a pet if the power the pet uses can take that type of Enhancement.
Pets use several powers, and not all the powers they use can take the same 'slotting.' If you put a Hold Enhancement in Dark Servant, only it's use of Petrifying Gaze can make use of that Hold and increase the duration of it's Holds. That Hold Enhancement does nothing for Dark Servant's Twilight Grasp or Fearsome Stare.
If you use an Alpha Slot ability that has a Universal Enhancement for Holds, then your Dark Servant's Petrifying Gaze will benefit from it.
The Dark Servant can no long be slotted for Damage Enhancements. However, it's use of Tenebrous Tentacles can still have it's damage enhanced if you can sneak Damage Enhancers into the power, such as what happens with the Hami-O Peroxisome which is Mez/Damage. Thus, an Alpha Slot slotted with Damage should be able to enhance the Dark Servant's Damage from Tentacles. However, the Damage from Chill of the Night is flagged as non-enhanceable, and no enhancer will affect it. -

Beg a stranger to port me to Ourboros to get an explorer badge?
I will give you a mission so that you earn entrance into Ouroboros:1. Stand near Ms. Liberty, Luminary, or the Cap au Diable Black Market.
There. No begging. Just make sure you're Level 25+.
2. Wait until someone opens an Ouroboros portal.
3. Quickly run and click on it before they do. You'll be ported to Ouroboros.
4. Run up the gnomen and get the Ouroboros Exploration badge. You will now have Entrusted With *the* Secret Badge and the Portal power.

The whole security layout of the place is so totally weak:
1 - The door to the control room overlooking the docking bay should have some kind of code, or eye/hand scanner, so only genuine members of staff can enter.
2 - Prisoner escorts shouldn't just be able to wander through the place without getting clearance to access the areas closer to the detenion area.
3 - Again, the door to the detention area should have some kind of codes/scans - or there should be a holding area outside where prisoner escorts hand over their priosners to the detention block staff, so only those who work there are actually allowed in.
4 - There should be a nearby guardroom that can deploy extra security if someone manages to break into the detention area control room, rather than just having the place watched with ineffective security cameras.
5 - There are only 2 sets of doors between prisoners and access to the rest of the station - and the cell corridor is in line with the exit, meaning that anyone who escapes can see the way out right away.
6 - There shouldn't be a garbage chute that close to the detention block - or if there really has to be one there, it should have much smaller openings in it so no human sized objects can enter it.
7 - There should be security cameras in the garbage compactor, and the maintenance door should be guarded and/or protected by codes/scans.
8 - The tractor beam control area should be in a large, well-lit room that's staffed at all times, and any attempt to shut it off should require clearance from at least 2 other people in the chain of command.
The whole design of the station is flawed, but it's made worse by the sloppy and incompetent way it's run - the entire security set up can be outwitted by 3 men, 2 droids and a large humanoid, who can then run rings around the inept response to the security breach using the poorly designed layout of the station and escape with an extremly valuable political prisoner.
Obviously there's been some degradations introduced into the cloning cycles. -
Smoke Grenade debuffs Perception 90%. Base Perception of 500 feet gets reduced to 50 feet.
Rectified Reticle gives a 20% increase to Perception. At base of 500 feet, that's an extra 100 feet. Combined with Smoke Grenade, your Perception will be at 150 feet.
Tactics' stats vary on level and AT. Using a Tanker at level 1 and Defender at level 50, it provides:
- +7.00/12.5% tohit
- +15.75/64.88% resistance to perception radius
- +21.00/86.50% perception radius
So, Tactics v. Smoke Grenade would be, worst case scenario -- a Level 1 Tanker with Tactics:
The Tanker's Perception would be 605. The incoming -Perception of Smoke Grenade of 90% is reduced by the resistance to -Perception (15.75%) making it 77.75% -Perception (resistance formula is [base / {100 + resistance}].) Applying that to the base of 500 is -388.75 Perception. Subtract that from 605 leaves 216.25 Perception.
A Tanker with Tactics at 50 v. Smoke Grenade: 412 feet.
A Defender with Tactics at 50 v. Smoke Grenade: 676 feet.
Clearly, if you're worried about -Perception, then make room for Tactics.

Game crashes when ever I try to use the Aspect of the Pillar in Ouroboros. So wondering if anyone else is encountering this issue.
Try a computer reboot first.
If that doesn't work, delete checksum.coh file in the CoH directory and restart the client and let it reverify files.
If that doesn't work, it's likely a graphics driver problem. Update the graphics driver. -
