  1. VU2010 for Virtue. It's a generally-yearly new version of Virtue United, which became locked-out full (once the max number of globals is met, no more globals can join the channel).

    Feel free to make/suggest changes/additions.
  3. If you can get past the server selector, you are in closed beta. You should be posting in the closed beta forums. They are visible at the top of this page:
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/index.php

    If you do not see them and haven't gotten your email, send a PM to theOcho.

    You can disable it. I have seen vBulletin boards without it. They just don't want to, for whatever mysterious reason.

    PM one of the mods, theOcho probably your best bet.

    I was able to create a DS MM, but the character creation was a giant PITA with no cursor, and then it only took a few moments in-game to decide it was more frustration than it was worth.

    Tired of Mercy? Do the Mercy Crawl, which is similar to Sewer Team. Do the first couple missions from your starting contact so that you get their call button (for cape/aura missions later on). This will get you to level 3 typically. Now bash your way across Mercy Island, killing anything that isn't grey. By the time you get to the PO ferry, you should be a minimum of level 5, usually level 6.

    I've done it multiple times now, sometimes I even race to see how fast I can get across while still getting at least level 5 by the time I'm in PO. Incredibly fun smashfest.
  8. I will also support a user-friendly error message for the /help, or redoing it like Roderick says. Anything as long as newbs can use the options provided them without making things more difficult than they already are.
  9. There is also an Oceanic subforum a few down from here, in addition to the Justice subforum. The oceanic subforum would probably be a better place for you to get help specific to your issues of population at your time frame.

    mids question

    Hmm. That's a new one. Post that over at the Mids forum:

  11. Sorry, "render the shields properly", to be precise. I wouldn't be surprised if your card just can't do the second color on those shields.

    edit: On second thought, poking at the nVidia site, it looks like those ARE the latest drivers for your card, CoHHelper just doesn't recognize that. Hmmm...

    Something is boogedy in your video drivers. CoH Helper isn't registering them at all.

    Additionally, your graphics card is incredibly, incredibly old (2002, which by video card standards is ancient). I would not be surprised if your system simply can't render the shields.

    edit: If you see another shield user, are they also primary-primary instead of primary-secondary?

    Just Came Back

    How much have you spent at the store in the last month? Is that total plus the cost of Going Rogue prepurchase more than the limit you specify in the NCsoft Master Account billing page? If it is, increase the restriction in the NCsoft Master Account billing page. (I have it set to $200, which allows me to pay for my yearly fee and some goodies, if they happen to coincide.)
  14. Setting prices just means people will trade off-market, which means almost everything will dry up in the market.
  15. Srsly. When you select the "Help" channel as your default channel for a tab, and then select that tab as your active tab, and then select "Active Tab" for where you want your chat to end up, it is still broken, over a year later.

    It is still using /help, which is now used to access the support window. When noobs attempt to talk in their brand new game's Help channel, they get told they're using too many args, because /help takes 0, because it isn't for talking in Help channel anymore.

    It should be using /hc, which is the new command to send text to the Help channel.

    For the love of Cheezits, fix it already!

    Update - April 8

    It is. I now have Coh.majorpatch in my installation folder which is the pre-patch nomenclature.
  17. If there's ever an announcement of DXP, it will show up here:
    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/DXP
  18. The quick reply box is at the bottom of the page, btw.
  19. You are supposed to MAKE an exception for City, not just check whether you have one or not.
  20. nVidia's progression is "first number = generation" "other numbers = quality within the generation". The first number being higher is better (example: 9XXX series is better than 8XXX series), until you get to the 9000 series (nine thousand)... because after that is the 200 series (two hundred), which is followed by the 300 series, etc. The lettering defines which subtype of that specific card. So 9800 GS is different from 9800 GTX.

    ATI's progression is all kinds of fuggered and I will never, in my life, figure it out.

    Tom's Hardware, however, makes a very nice graphics card hierarchy, which lists cards from best to worst.

  21. Because their -def is really high to begin with (average of *TWENTY PRECENT*), so letting folks slot for it would bring the set into ridonkulocity. You can't slot regular defense debuff SOs/generic IOs into them either.

    Easier way to put it: any special IO (global/proc/proc120) that says "caster" instead of "target", or does not specify a target at all.

    Freeform Respecs

    I thought I had already posted in here, then I saw that the little "you've posted in here" symbol wasn't on the thread symbol. Remedy this immediately, Agge! So I am doing so.

    I would love... LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to freeform respec. I am accumulating several characters in the upper levels and it is practically work to respec them anymore. And having gotten a few VEATs up close to branching level, I shudder to think of respec'ing any of them.
