I had a similar problem. The game would either not launch at all after agreeing to the terms or lock up immediatly after starting to load, leaving me staring at a faint loading bar. I downloaded the 197.45 driver from Nvidia's site and updated to it, haven't had a problem since. Check in your device manager to be sure you're using the current driver, should show up there as version 6.14.11.9745. Just in case MSI missed it.

The first time I logged in after patching my AVG gave me a warning listing the cityofheroes.exe as known malware, but it hasn't happened since that first time.

Thanks for the reply. Updating my video driver fixed it.

I was able to enter the game right after patching but decided to log out to go to test for the events. I had loaded up test earlier this morning with no problem, but after agreeing to the terms this time the game would not start. Sometimes I can see a faint loading bar but it is frozen and the program is not responding. On other tries it never starts to load. I thought maybe so many people were trying to get into test that maybe the server was having some sort of problem, but going back to live it is now also having the same problem. It either never starts to load after agreeing to the terms or locks up immedialtly after attempting to load forcing me to use task manager to shut it down. I've tried verifying all files and deleting the checksum but neither has had any effect.

More bracer options, leather, metallic, and with or without mounted gems. Pieces that can be added to the thighs, though that would probably mean adding new catagory for them. More robotic looking robotic body parts. Translucent body parts so you can have a see through, though not invisible, character.

4341 with my main hero, Panda Monium. While looking for an npc with an M name I came across an old lady named Raymond.

The color choices were nerfed because in the early days some people were matching skin and costume colors to make thier characters look naked. I remember one guy who was even posting screenies and complaining about being able to make nude looking characters when from all the color combos he was complaining and posting screenies of he must have been spending all his time trying to make as many nude characters as he could.

And of course, the malls and stores were crammed with all kinds of brutes today, and will be again Saturday morning.

They really need 'Drool' and 'Jawdrop' smilies. This almost look like a jawdrop.

After 5 years scowering this forum and wishing for excess fundage to snag some of the fantastic looking art I've seen here for myself, I've finally answered the call and decided to help feed the starving artists of the world by getting my first paid commission done. I've thrown my hat into several of the 'free art' threads that have come and gone over the years, with some success. having snagged some good artwork, but it is just too few and far between for my cravings.

Heroid posted in the Virtue forums about taking on some commissions, and being a fellow Virtuite and pining for some artwork, I answered the call. With nothing more to work with than this screenie of my main Hero. Panda Monium, and a request to add a muzzle if he would, I got back this fine piece that I'm really proud off. I think he captured a lot of what I had always envisioned in the character but couldn't express with the costume creator. Thanks for the good work, Heroid, you'll likely be hearing from me again in the near future.

I highly recommend this offer! I submitted this pic of my main hero, Panda Monium, and a request to add an ursine looking muzzle, and in return I got this excellant piece of art. Thanks again, Heroid, you'll probably be hearing from me again in the near future. It might help to also make this post in the screenshot and fanart forum.

Looking good. I haven't heard anything about the Rock in while and wasn't sure it was still around. Glad to hear it's still going.

I'll toss in my DB/SR scrapper, Piratical.

Piratical was born around 400 years ago in Tortuga. His father was a pirate of some renown and his mother was the ninja that had been hired to kill him, but things didn't quite work out that way. I guess 'love at first sight' is real. When he was 12 he and his parents were transported into modern times when his father's ship was caught in a sudden squal in the Bermuda Triangle. His parents were spooked by the incident and took it as a sign to change thier ways so they gave up thier evil lifestyle and raised him to be an honest man, as best they could.

I'll throw my hat into the ring.

This is Piratical, my DB/SR scrapper.
The ingame bio should answer your questions but if you pick him and ned any more info just ask.
While he only lived in the Carribean until he was 12 he still holds an affinity for his childhood home and spends as much time there as his hero work will allow. One day he will remember which island his father had buried a treasure on.
As for a scene, he is a sailor at heart and is quick to respond to any distress calls from ships. I can see them maybe defending a cruise ship from an attack by undead pirates from a ghost ship or maybe a sea monster, or villains from the isles.

Just tint the fire green with the power customization. Even in the real world fire comes in several colors, so why can't magical flames in a game world be green?
