Hi.
I installed the test server updater today as per the instrutions here (copy the files to new folder etc etc) logged in and then logged out again.

When I tried to log back in Kaspersky popped up telling me there was a key logger trying to redirect my keyboard input.

I hit "deny" which terminated CoH Test.
I then tried to fire up CoH Test again and as soon as I hit "next" the program closes.

I rebooted and the whole sequecence happened again.

I'm a bit loathe to grant a "key board redirect" access by "adding to trusted zone". I've gone into Kaspersky and granted CoHtest the same "rights" as CoH and it's still not working.

The keylogger alert only comes up on the CoH test updater and noting else (inc normal Coh Updater).

Help?

I have the same problem - Again it only started recently.
But I have found if I leave it for a few minutes it sorts itself out.
I am running Kasperski and have "cleared" CoX for all processes.

I am also experiencing slow loading times in and out of missions and zones (circa 1-2 minutes) and the lag at auction house is insane.
I know that I am not alone with the latter problem as a quick ask on Sal's Badgehunters brought a deluge of "Hell yeah! I'm getting lag at Wentworths.

Dunno if these are connected...
It;s not anti virus

Actually, this is already happening (to some extent) with the 60 month vet reward:

For the 60 month veteran reward, players receive the City Traveler badge, an additional Character Slot, 5 Reward Merits, and will be able to access the Flight, Superspeed, Teleport, and Superleap Power Pools at level 6 without having to take a tier 1 or 2 power in that pool.

Note: that the Tier 4 powers (Team Teleport, Group Flight, Whirlwind and Acrobatics) are unaffected and their availability is unchanged by this.

Wasn't aware of this - Roll on next Feb.

Well Google returns 6,130,000 results:

So I'm guessing quite a few....

Did you spot this:

Well I'm on Vigin too FFM so I should be routing the same as you but it took me 8 attempts and a 2 min wait to get in

Seems a bit random to me...

Yes - It works. Also done it m'self on PC.

How cool is mission tp - I wuld argue it's the best "reward" power in the game (I know it's not a Vet award but you know what I mean)

I'm 32 days away from 48 mnth vet - And I'd gladly trade another pet (with 1hp and lots of aggro drawing I belive?) for another Mission TP (or even a "zone tp").
What did I get for 45 mnths? - A badge and another respec....

Thank you very much for all your help guys.
The Inv blunder was a "Doh!" moment.

One last question: Am I right in thinking that Dam Res resists all incoming damage (of the relevant type i.e. smathing/lethal or Neg Eng say) after debuffs or are there powers that ignore Dam Res?

Ok...
I admit it.....
I haven't a scoobie how this works.

I know (think I know) that Hard Caps are "the game/devs wont let you take this any higher" and Soft Caps are "the available bufferage wont go any higher but in theory you could".

Basically while I want to max my Inv tank's Dam res I'd a) like to know what I am achieving and b) don't want to waste slots/expensive IO sets if it's already capped out.

So I have some questions.

1) What are the hards and soft caps for damage resistance?
2) Is that "per power" or total on your toon?
3) How can I see what my combined dam res total is (i.e. all my powers + say 4 mobs around me and I have Invincible running = What?)

Yours cluelessly.

Yes please.
Don't know exactly what it was called but MZ's Mastermind build guide (not the control system of "guide to the moder mastermind - Which have already been rescued from the void)

Currently if you make a second build for a toon the second build starts with no enchancments (I am told - I haven't bothered for teh reason I'm about to state).

This makes me think that's pointless having a second build unless:

The toon you are doing it on is L50 and therefore you can generate sufficient inf to fund a second build without outlevelling/gimping one or both of your builds.

or

You are awash with sufficient inf across all of your alts that you can tranfer inf to lowbies.
Now bearing in mind they wont give us a proper system for inf transfer it would seemn the Dev's want to discourage inf transfer and therefore this isn't a route they intended for us to take.

The main reason I would want to have a second build is to have a team and a solo build enabling me to level solo if there are no teams going (ahem* CoV). If I am getting insuffiecnt inf to fund two decent builds (and lets face it without inf transfer or "lucky" drops it's always a bit tight slotting one build) then the system is useless to me.

I am not fortunate to have suffcient "back to back" time to indulge day in day out in "lucretive" activities like TF's and I while I know many people here on the forums can and do I don't think folk here are always representative of the overall player base.

I once heard that the devs wouldn;t spend time making something that would be of use to most players so:

How about letting us carry across the enhancments from one build to another in a "respec stylee".

Let the flaming begin.

Thanks for that - But I can't find "Sal's Badgehunters" when I enter it it askes me if I want to create it

Looks like I'm still doomed

A complete aside but: Any news on the Valkyrie pack going on general sale?

I’ve been playing this game for 4 years and 2 months and, because of how infrequently I get to play the game (about 8hrs a month in one – two hour bursts), I have [u]never[u] done a TF or a SF.

But…… This Friday 23rd Jan I can play for as long as I want, whenever in the day I want so……

Who is willing to take me through a TF/SF?

Because I’ve never done one it’d be great if someone experienced could just take charge and we could recruit the appropriate team members, sort out times etc in advance here on the forum.
It may seem an everyday thing for you but it would be a really big deal for me.

I have the following toons available (though the ones I’d really like to do are Statesman, Lady Grey, Imperious or Hess – I’ll be happy to do any TF/SF you like)

[u]Good'uns:[u]
Doctor Demon: L50 DM/Regen Scrapper - Union
Capt Albion: L30 Eng/Eng Blaster – Union
Doug Segal: L22 Ill/Kin ‘troller - Union
Healing Isis: L21 Emp/Psy ‘fender – Union (not played her for over a year mind….)

[u]Bad'uns:[u]
Hero Corrupted: L34 Dark/Dark MM - Defiant

Any takers?

speeds not bad for me, but i dont get why i even have to dl anything...wasn't that the whole point of the download that started when i logged off a few weeks back?

The predownload doesn't contain the whole patch. It contains a snapshot of a beta version of the patch, which is enough to make your patchday download only be 53MB instead of 200MB.

Excuse me, but what additional "spandex" costumes do we need? We have dull spandex and shiny spandex, spandex with skirts, spandex with capes, cut away spandex, and lots of different patterns - what else can you do with spandex that we haven't already got?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was "spandex powers" that were requested - Shorthand for "powers that aren't weapons and are a better fit with the majority of the superhero mileu"

[ QUOTE ]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they shouldn't put in more non-weapon melee powersets, but too criticise a game for having too many choices (sets you are not in any way obligated to take) is a bit weird.

Too many of one sector - not enough of a more relevant sector - That's my complaint

...and another thing!

Other than Thor I don't recall too many "Mace" superheroes and I can't think of any mainstream battle axe wielding superheroes.

I do understand what you are saying but I feel there are "spandex" (and therefore more superheor relevant) powers missing when pretty much all the weapon based ones I can think of are covered.

Now I know many of them are possible/are too hard but I think the number of weapon based sets are a)lazy, easy wins & b) (and you will never convince me otherwise) more appropraite to a S&S based game

Exaggerated for effect & an inability to think of S&S power sets on the spot (give me time and I'll edit the post if you like) - But you must still see the point I'm making?

We've had packs based on getting married, cyborgs, soon magic, and also norse mythology. Could we pretty please have a pack based around Silver/Golden Age supers? Maybe some giant Death Ray's to deal with, or better yet, a proper giant monster stomping through the city streets and towering over the buildings!
