Quote:True. We've done a couple and that seems to be the new code. However, before last year, you had to actually use damaging attack powers on them to destroy them. Thanks for the helpful hint.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
You destroy it by clicking on it.

Quote:Okay, maybe my understanding is the problem. You said "click on the box/cauldron for completion." In the past you had to destroy the box/cauldron. Has that changed?Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Just a note: You can run a second instance of CoH on a free account (or dual box) to complete the co-op mission by oneself. You only need a level 1 toon to click on the box/cauldron for completion.

The missions from Ganymede and Scratch, where you need differently aligned characters to destroy the mission objective at the end, are still bugged. The mission objectives con friendly to all and a GM has to finish the mission. I reported this last year. The response I got from the GM last year and this year was the same. "It will be fixed as soon as possible." When I told him today that that was what I was told last year, he said "Thanks for playing " etc. Boy, what fun.

Well, here's my last hope for holiday events. Last year the old missions from Ganymede and Scratch had to be completed by a GM since the end objects conned friendly to BOTH heroes and villains. In BOTH missions. I'm sure most of you have all this done already, but a few of us would actually like older content like this to still work so we can get them for our alts.
Halloween got taken over by zone events that no one seems to participate in past the first day or so.
The winter gifts got severely nerfed.
Is it at all possible that these Spring Fling mission objectives have been debugged? If not, I don't see much for us to do again this year.

Quote:Recently received a reply from an official source saying that the developers said that it is currently working as designed. I've been here since the 2nd Anniversary. Every Winter Event since then until last year, all my characters received the Holiday Cheer, whether they had gotten one previously or not. To say that it is working as designed after all this time beyond contemptible. I guess that anything old that gets bugged or has never worked the way it should is now going to be referred to as "working as designed" in order to free up developer time to work on new stuff that doesn't work.Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
I complained a lot about this last year. My characters that were new for the year got them but not my older ones even though I distinctly remembered getting them in previous years (I had characters with Holiday Spirit still running and another one in the power's list ready to click on when that one ran out).
I haven't logged into any of my 3 "new" characters for this year to see if anyone is getting them but I was very disappointed to see that my older characters didn't get them again this year. Using the Holiday Cheer power was so cool and I don't know why that can't be fixed.
Having received the Holiday Cheer every year for all this time built up expectations for myself and my wife. Giving those gifts to each other was the best thing about the event for us. I doubt we'll even log on during the event any more if this is the way it's going to be left. So, in our absence, please feel free to enjoy your new content until it gets bugged to the point that it is considered too old to fix. -
Quote:Yes, this!Originally Posted by DIABL0
Have not received the below on any characters that I have loggedon. Is it BUGGED?
The Holiday Spirit temporary power. Use Holiday Spirit to grant 48 hours of 25% Experience Debt Protection.
The Holiday Cheer temporary power. Use Holiday Cheer on another character to give his or her a Mystery Gift that could contain a rare temporary power, a sack full of Influence or Infamy, or a winter-
This was an issue last year and not fixed yet. One would think with the sparsity of additional features they should have been able to fix this. -
Quote:Last year the log-in powers did not award to any character that had received them in a previous year. I was told that if it gets fixed, it would be for a later winter event. I guess this one isn't later enough.Originally Posted by Moiread
Did anyone else not get any temp powers on logging in?

Okay. I didn't know that applied to anything other than character slots. Thanks for the information.

Since inherent fitness became available on the live servers, multiple free respecs have been awarded so that players could adjust their builds to take this into account. However, none have been granted on the Training Room. I hope this was an oversight. I have characters on the Training Room server that have exceeded their live server level while testing content. One character that I made up during the Dual Pistols testing period was even level-bumped to 50, still my only character that high level. I would appreciate receiving at least one across-the-board free respec on the Training Room so that my characters for testing can include inherent fitness in their build to have their most accurate build for testing. I know this is not a high priority, but as I say, it would be nice.

Quote:Nope. Did the update and still get the same crashes to desktop. By the way, why do we have to go to a special, hard-to-find (at least for me) webpage and ask "Pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top can I have the current update of the game for my mac?" when PC users get the update automatically just by logging into the game?Originally Posted by CuppaManga
Latest build is v1.0.4462, currently up for download from your PlayNC account page. I can't say for sure if it'll work better, but it might.
This doorstop is history. Never touching a mac again. -

1. Which build of the client are you running? You can check by single-clicking the City of Heroes icon and using the Get Info command in the Finder. The build number is after the 1.0 in the Version section.

Quote:Thank you. I'll try that if the original problem recurs.Originally Posted by SuckerPunch
If you hit Command + Space, that should pop up Spotlight. Type in "Activity Monitor", and run the application that appears.
In the list of processes there, if you still see City of Heroes, even after "closing" it, select it from the list, and then click the "Quit Process" button in the top left. That will forcefully stop the process.
Any idea what's causing the new problem?
Also, just had a crash to desktop when using the mouse to look upward. Is that a no-no? -
Quote:Sorry, I'm an extreme Mac noob. No idea what you're talking about.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
This sounds like the app is crashing but not actually shutting down/closing.
Pop your Activity Monitor and see if you have a hung process in there.
If so, kill it and try re-launching again. -
Quote:Well, I think I found out what was causing that, but I have a new problem.Originally Posted by CuppaManga
That's a weird one - I looked up the code and it has something to do with Applescript. Did you try rebooting after it said that? Are you using anything other than the downloaded client like a script or Steam?
The -1712 code problem came up while I had tried twice to start CoH after it crashed to desktop. The original crash was caused by some Bluetooth app that went nuts for some unknown reason. I don't have any Bluetooth stuff so I disabled the Bluetooth app in the top bar. Then I tried to start CoH. It didn't seem to start, so I tried again. Then I got the -1712 error, which apparently happens when you try to open CoH twice. So, that problem has not recurred.
New problem: Every time I exit an SG base, all I can see are NPC's and player characters. No buildings or terrain of any kind, unless you count the moon :P
Any ideas on this one? -
Just got a new Mac Pro, started running CoH, and got a crash to desktop. Now CoH will not run. All I can get is a message saying City of Heroes cannot run. This is followed by what I guess is a code: -1712. Anyone got any help for me on this?

Just logged in on Champion with my main, who has no Holiday Cheer from last year's event. He did not receive one this year. Has this been changed. He's gotten one each year in the past. Anyone else have this happen (or rather not happen)?

My apologies if this is considered a thread-jack. I have used what pitiful measures that I know to find someone to contact who may be involved in the decision that led me to this posting. This is the most recent thread that I can find with a post from Black Pebble, who is the only Red Name that I know of in marketing. I would just like to say that the following quote is what I received when I was prevented from taking full advantage of the Cyber Monday.
[Quote]
As a security measure we limit individual online serial code purchases. We apologize for the inconvenience. [Unquote]
As a result, my wife was unable to receive two of the four booster packs that I had intended to buy for us both. I can assure whoever wrote this response that your apology is most definitely not accepted. With both of us having been 100% loyal to this game for 54 consecutive months, we felt that it should be obvious by now that we are not a security risk.
For those of you who, by my past experience, have stated, and probably will again, that I should get over myself: You are welcome to your opinion. I find it sad that you feel that I am not welcome to mine, nor that I have any right to express it without your derision. -
This is arbitrary b.s.
I tried to purchase the half price booster packs for myself and my wife. After I got mine done, I started on hers. I was cut off after two. Now she won't have access to the items I will. For us, this is a rat load of business as usual for most companies in the world that we had hoped we would not have to deal with here. Obviously, we mistook NCSoft for a company that gave half a diddle about how their customers felt. A stupid mistake for us to make after the useless package deal they made with GameStop. Now I know not to expect honesty in so-called deals from either company. -
My brand new computer is having an intermittent problem. I've looked it up on the internet, with only vague information available. One Wiki page referred to the occurrence as "the blue screen of death." When the BSOD comes up, it states that Windows was unable to start due to a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. (Caps are from the BSOD, not me) The computer is an Alienware desktop with "Windows 7 Ultimate" on which I've had to disable the Aero style appearance theme to avoid the screen locking up. The only software that has caused an open message window are Adobe and a WindowsLive game that we got recently. Nothing else has uttered a peep. Does anyone know what I should do about this?
-
Still getting this message.
Last time that I wasn't invited to a closed beta, the message was different. It said that the server was not available for public access, or something similar. Nothing like what is showing now, so I doubt that's the case.
Probably won't get any reply about this until Monday at the earliest. -
Quote:Don't know if anyone addressed this, but I can say that with only one exception I have changed all my tail-"equipped" characters with the new animated tail version of what they used to have. HOWEVER, the one exception is really a bad situation. I have a character named The Grey Reptile, who is Huge body type. I looked at the animated reptile tail, but I wouldn't use it if you paid me. It looks like a thin snake is dangling from his back end. For Huge body type, there should be a wider version of that tail. Preferably one that has less and slower oscillation.Originally Posted by Novapulse
That said, to answer your question, I can't see any reason I would ever choose one of the older non-animated tails. -
Come on, folks! Can't we get this fixed?
-
It's not just East Coast. The same has happened to us on both Protector and the test server. Horrid lag. Enough to make you quit playing.
-
This also does not happen any more once we leveled up to level 2. Mission awards all appropriate for both boss and lackey.
Even though I reported this in-game as a bug, I would like to know who I should PM about it. I think this must be some sort of bug that should be fixed, if not top priority then at least ASAP. Can someone point me to the correct person responsible for this sort of bug? -
Okay, this has gotten even weirder. But I'll get to that in a bit.
No one was level pacted.
The first mission usually levels up a level one lackeyed up to a level 18. We've done it enough to know. Some larger missions even get a level one up to level 3.
The reason we know there was no experience gain is that there was no experience in the bar whatsoever at the end of the mission. I wish I had thought to check sooner because we wasted all that time trying to level me up.
Today, we reversed the situation. I played my level 18 and she played her level 1. The results were slightly different. Her experience in the first mission was 10. 10 exp. For the entire misson. I had asked her to check after the first enemies we fought but she forgot, and I just assumed (dummy me) that everything was fine. After that we went out to try hunting just to test. The results are discouraging.
When we passed a group of Goldbrickers that I skipped because they conned grey to me, they attacked because (dummy me) I forgot to turn off my Mud Pots from the mission. So I said to them "You gotta be kidding me! I am really not in the mood for you wimps!" and slaughtered them.
She got experience.
For the greys.
They were even grey to her at her lackeyed level of 17.
So we tried a few different enemies to test further. The closer they were to my level, the more experience I got and the less she got.
This damwell better not be WAI.
