Are you a roleplayer? If you are, I've got a couple of groups you might be interested in checking out. If not... sorry. If all else fails, you can check out the SG and VG listings stickied on this board.

Also, catgirls ftw. :3

I've also considered myself to be pretty easygoing as far as roleplaying goes, but there's one thing that bothers me to no end:

People who use canon characters as a huge part of their background. You are not Lord Recluse's secret lover. You're not Statesman's long-lost daughter. I could honestly go on and on with this. If every Sue and Mary that claimed to be one of these guys was true, there'd be a lot of tabloid scandals and giant family trees that nobody wants to catalog.

Aside from that, there's also the usual godmodding and powerplaying, but I think most of us have those on our lists.

And going slightly off-topic, I admit that I'm one of those obsessive people who corrects their own typos... often a bit too much. T///T I'll try to tone that down unless somehow I manage to type a word that totally changes the meaning of the sentence or something. (For instance, I was RPing with one of my friends last night, and he accidentally typed "water" instead of "waiter." It was quite funny. xD)

Just wanna pop in and say how wonderful this group is. Fool is great at really making a story have impact. I mean, who else would be willing to sacrifice one of their own characters for the sake of good storytelling? And not just some throw-away NPC, either--we're talking a level 50 character that he's been playing for quite some time now and hadn't intended to stop playing! I wouldn't even be willing to sacrifice my level 20 character for that!

In addition, this group does what a lot of others fail to do: it tries to include all of its members in one way or another. Even the quiet ones that stay in the background (like me) have several bones thrown to them to make sure they're included. And I love that.

Really, this group is just great. Great leaders, great roleplayers, great stories... If you're willing to try something different and play a character that's not an immortal half-angel with untold power, you should really join this group. You won't regret it.

As someone who just began playing a Kheldian yesterday, I actually kind of like this tray. I can see how it could get in the way for more experienced players (and as a person who does use numbers to activate her powers, it is a bit unorthodox), but for me it's a good way to kind of get adjusted to the new powers I have in my other forms. I do plan to figure out a good keybind configuration one of these days, but for now it's a "newbie tool."

I am, however, in favor of an option to turn this tray off. No need for cannons or anything, though. Violence is never the answer unless you're blasting enemies in the face with eyeball beams.

I'm definitely interesting in this group, but I do have one question: when are your usual RP days? I've had to reject a lot of great groups because of conflicting RP days with my main's VG, and I'm really hoping that that doesn't happen with this one, too.

This... is glorious. I'm definitely going to dig through my list of toons and see who might fit in. It seems like a great place for some nice, relaxed RP. ^_^

EDIT: Though, now that I think about it, I'm worried I'm going to be slapped in the face with lag the moment I walk in. @_@

@Draeth Darkstar: I'll be sure to keep this all in mind when I want to try my hand at building a decent set. Thank you so much yet again for all of this! If I can just ask one more question: If an enhancement set has two of the same bonus, do they both count toward the aforementioned "stack?"

(As a side note, I'm curious to see how playing with none of my whip powers will work out. I had all of them when I first made Iyze--rookie mistake, I know. >.<)

@Crysys: I seem to have a bad (or maybe good?) habit of accidentally picking FotM powers/classes/whatever in games. Maybe it's a sixth sense. xD

"lol I'm a n00b help me" (because that's what I told my VG leader I was gonna post xD)

So, uh, yeah. I'm terrible with builds. I mostly play CoX for the roleplay, but it's also nice to have a character that doesn't die because of your stupid decisions. Any suggestions for a Demon Summoning/Dark Miasma Mastermind build? I'm only level 27 right now, and my only requirements are Fly and as much of the Leadership pool as possible.

All right... my post earlier was a tad heated. But that's what happened when you're frustrated as all hell. Like I said, I'm not a tech person, so I wouldn't really know how difficult things are. Still, something must have gone really fracking wrong for things to be screwed up this bad...

I am glad that they're working on the problem (or so they claim, *cough*), and I hope it's fixed soon.

I have one question:

How freaking difficult is it to roll back to the MA that was actually functional? Clearly, the fixes they're trying to implement aren't working, so why don't they just go back to the version that was working? Now, I'm not much of a tech person, so I don't know how difficult it actually is to do a roll-back, but surely it would be more effective and less complicated than what they're doing now.

All I wanna do is make an arc without trying to "fix" Longbow and Arachnos (which, among several other things, are freaking ridiculous things to put in the filter)!

*inhale... exhale...* All right, I need a Xanax.

Recently, I've noticed that in some missions involving the Legacy Chain, they're attacking and even killing each other. I'm currently playing "Interrogate Legacy Chain leader" for Lorenz Ansaldo, and it's happening here. Is this supposed to be happening, or is this some funky glitch that's making my job easier? xD

So... long story short... I either get a new laptop or deal with Intel being stupid.

I appreciate the help, I really do. I just hate my life right about now. *facedesk x1000*

Well, I managed to fix this issue, but now we're back to the issue of my game randomly freezing up. *facedesk*

EDIT: I figured out what S.O.L. means. T_T Is there anything I can do?! /panic

I recently reinstalled CoH due to several issues I've been having. But now I have a new issue:



My character is basically a ghost. Whenever I log in the game, the graphics are all... wonky, for lack of a better word. I can put the game in safe mode and run it from there, but is there any known fix for this?

EDIT: Thanks to whoever moved this topic to the correct forum. *hugs*

First of all, I love this game. I ended up buying it on a whim and giving it a whirl, and I'm already addicted. However, I've been having a few problems. First of all, there are a few instances (namely right after creating a new character) where the game will randomly give me this message:



Sometimes, the "ig4icd32.dll" part will be totally blank, and I still need to test and see if the file changes. But I digress.

On rare occasions, I also get a window that pops up and says this:
