  1. You can put that shimmering on by floating a Slow Field defence Item.
  2. Thats good, mines awful :P. Tempted to delete it, but 5 hours..ugh

    Yup you can, adding the pack will give you a months free time and the items.

    I'm a PC user but still bought the Mac edition pack because in the long run it actually works out cheaper than buying the Valkyrie pack on it's own would when it came out if including a months subscription into the cost.

    That's what im planning too!

    Thanks guys
  4. Okay, but even though Im already playing CoH with a subscription I can still apply the code for the bonus pack and game time right? Cause I'm guessing the pack was for new time players
  5. Hey guys,

    Basically I want to buy a pack with items but also with game time! I've taken a look at the £5.99 packs, but they don't have a months game time. Im very interested in purchasing the City of Heroes® (Europe) Mac Special Edition because it comes with the bonus items as well as a months game time, and it says under system minimum requirements: Windows 2000/Xp..so It can play on windows as well as Mac right?

    Anyways basically im wondering if I can put that pack onto my current game account, even though Im subscribing to the game with a normal CoH/V subscription already.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bruce
  6. Yeah I used that method, but only made them 3 safes high! Doh xD. Also, I used over 700 counters making the floor as the floor tiles were awful. Still loads to go as Im making small rooms on the counters out of...counters! Bit dull cause they're all the same colour. Ah well, might roll a villain too .
  7. Done that, and I've added second energy and control pieces. Also I tried building a 2 story room, going okay so far but it's taken me about 5 hours .
  8. Can't you float the slow field? Put a normal Safe down, then float the Slow Field ontop of it, I think you can see the floor colour then. Also makes a good swimming pool , if your on defiant send me a message @Bruce Lightning and we can see each others bases, Im always keen for ideas!
  9. Looks like I'm going to have to open it up, unless I can find the one I bought .

    I think the hotfix helped though. I got that from the US forums.
  10. Well I checked my FPS again and It reached 25-30, so its getting better still there was a point where it went down again, maybe overheating or insufficient power. I dont thinks its a faulty graphics card though, but I could try my spare one . I do have to say, once my computer would turn on and boot up, but nothing would appear on the screen, maybe this was a case of not enough power getting to the graphics card? Anyways it hasnt happened since.

    One more thing, how can I check the Watts on my PSU?

    Regards,

    Bruce
  11. Hope you don't mind me intruding, but I guess we have a similar problem.

    Is there anything I can do to free up space here if needed? And how do I find out my PSU power :/?

    Thanks
  12. Yeah, everythings good. Im installing a hotfix to see if that works but Ive just realised that my PC is running at 16-20 FPS now, pretty good for me .
  13. I certainly haven't, not sure about TechnoUnion (Sorry If I'm being a topic hog ).

    Really want to get this sorted out. I installed new Nvidia drivers but it said I had them already, then it installed another Nvidia thing on my PC. I'm sure that some people claimed some of the nvidia drivers caused the game to go mental. :/

    One more thing: Funnily enough my Motherboard manufacturer is also MSI.

    And I'm usually getting about 8FPS (When it's good) and around 0.80FPS when its bad.
  14. Hey Arckont.

    Heroes Corp is a diverse and exciting supergroup :P. I've been away for a while so im only just starting to rebuild our members list. We have about 13.1Million Prestige and a nice big base will most of the teleporters.

    We will be running TF's e.t.c and MA missions, as well as costume contests and background contests.

    We'd love to have you on board and can supply for all countries , I think.

    Lots of love,

    Bruce Lightning - @Bruce Lightning
  15. Happy Birthday Kendai! Sorry I left, It was too late in the end, and I needed to get up at 6:50 . Still, I didn't fall asleep until 2:30am...Damnit!
  16. I've experienced the same thing, although I have 6GHZ Dual Core, 512MB 8500 GT Graphics card, 2GB RAM e.t.c e.t.c, there shouldn't be any problem with my system, but there still is. Having low graphics or high graphics doesn't make a different, either way I experience freezing and I have to restart my PC to stop it.

    I'll also create a hair pile with you.

    Good luck :/
  17. Haha, well I've checked out loads of cool things people have done with their bases, so I'm going to take ideas from that, can't wait to build my steaming swimming pool .
  18. Hey guys,

    After coming back from a long break, I noticed that CoX decided to lower prices and I was refunded about 8million prestige. Anyways I've still got 7.5 Million Prestige in the kitty and I've already built a nice base I'll still be finish off my 3rd teleporter room, and 2nd energy room, and then my 2nd control room, but what should I build after? I'd like to make something decorative, I've already built a nice stage for contests, but what else can I build?

    If you've got any ideas, please try and link them to pictures from other bases (things that have already been built would be a bonus!).

    I once saw a picture of a bowling alley, which I tried to recreate, but I had trouble floating certain objects :/.

    Anyways,

    Thanks in advance!
  19. Just managed to get it working, now I need to play the waiting game..
  20. Hey guys, I was trying to install the Test client on windows Vista, and it said Connecting #1, this went all the way up until Connecting #103 when I got bored of waiting (for about 1 hour and a half) and turned it off!

    Any help is appreciated please
