Not a EU one, but I always get a smile on my face when I remember the infamous Jerk Hacker, Gone to the americans threads over there

Anyway, I could be wrong (and I'm by no means an expert on this so someone correct me if I'm wrong) but reading the press release, it looks like some sort of software that lets mac users use the exisiting software to make it run on their machines, kind of like a PC emulator, sort of?

Transgaming make Cedega, which is based on WINE [http://www.winehq.org/] and it's *NOT* an emulator (Wine Is Not an Emulator), but a re-implementation of Windows APIs such as DirectX for *nix and BSD based systems. Cedega focuses heavily on the gaming side of WINE while other groups such as Codeweavers focus more on the application side (Their CrossOver app lets you run things like Office 2007 on *nix).

More recently, Transgaming has started releasing standalone "ports" of games for Mac and Linux that use Cedega (Such as this announcement about CoX). But it would be nice if they released it for Linux as well - the "problem" with Cedega is that it uses a subscription-based model rather than a pay once one.

I should have put a link for people really

http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/gam...ssue_list.html

Click on each of those, especially at the bottom gfor a better idea of what I mean! So many additions, I can't imagine the game without them! Imagine, no Hess, no Eden or Sewer Trials....and people say nothing good ever gets added to this game!!!

Looking over at the shiny new US website, I was reading through the different stuff added into each issue, particularly issues 1,2 and 3.

I never realised just how much stuff we take for granted wasn't in the original version of the game!!

Passing Insps and Enhancements across as drag and drop only came in with issue 2, as did a better search system across the zones. Was it only available in the zone you were in originally??

The Malta, Carnies and Praetorians only appeared in Issue 1 and the Igenous didn't appear until Issue 2! And the Council only appeared in Issue 3??

Man, this must have been a seriously different game to begin with

Can any one else enlighten me as to any other minor things got changed, things we take for granted nowadays?

Burnley??? ROFLMAO!!

I'm not from Burnley!! Wrong side of the country my friend, I'm from Hull, in East Yorkshire

Man, that's funny

That's just.........weird!

That is just......WOW!!! :O

and as for your time being wasted... What about the players time? Second day wasted sitting by the computer doing very little but getting aggravated so don't give us that (cencored, but think Penn & Teller show) GR. At least you get (cencored) payed while we (cencored) PAY for the (cencored) (cencored) so do..not..go..there...

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think GR was referring to people posting about the invasions not working, more likely the HUGE amount of posts on several threads about the same tired topic of population/server merges etc.

People saying the invasion not working is fair game, but that's not what was wasting GRs time today.

Can comfirm it's fixed on Defiant, just got the first two abdges on there

Jeez, people still listen to this awful peice of rubbish?? No accounting for taste, I guess

Bit of a thread revival, but can you post a link again, Coin? I lost my copy when my computer died, and I miss it!

I'm confused, dude, link to what? The original link to the MP3 is further back in this thread?

Actually, Psygon, you've just reminded me of an early one I did that you were involved in....

On Coin, my first character, about a week or two into the game (levelling was much slower back then, debt meant something and all that) really excited to be playing the game, in the old Sheepies SG having a great time, finally, finally, finally got to the right level for Flight!! SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!

Rushes over to Miss Liberty, clicks on her to train up......can't select Fly!!

"I can't select Fly!! Why can't I choose it!! I'm the right level!" screams me over SG Chat

Psygon replies with "Coin, you're only lvl 12.....you need to be level 14 for Fly."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cries I, sobbing!

meh, I was but a young newbie

Swimming through IP on auto whilst I checked something about the TF I was on on my other monitor.....only to swim right into Lusca when I wasn't looking

Awesome stuff, VERY impressed

Btw, I always think a death race like this should be lvl 1 maximum! It cuts down on the whole exploits of powers, slotting etc and also means anyone can enter at a minutes notice, they just roll something really fast and enter

A good way to do checkpoints are certain badges needing to be collected. Make sure any toon entered has no exploration badges to begin with and then check the winner to make sure they have them all.

As I said earlier in the thread, more than happy to turn cameraman for this if I'm not working!

Imagine it at low levels.....

Level 2 - kill mob....DING.....kill mob....DING....kill mob.....DING!!!!

Are people really arguing realism in a game about superheroes??

Seriously, surely it's up to the player to come up with the reason why the shield helps regenerate helth, I could come up with numerous off the top of my head, (magic, technologcal etc) so it's not beyond the realms of possibilty.....within the game itself!!

Already confirmed in the thread it won't let you

I presume it either won't let you at all or just defaults to something else.

Not seen this mentioned over here yet, but this is awesome!!

Click for Cossie Goodness News!

"In the top-right corner of the costume creator, you see a Save and Load button. These do exactly what you think: Save a costume (colors, pieces, etc), name it, then use it on another character by loading it! It saves your costume in the main City of Heroes directory by default (though you can change it) as a .costume filetype."

This has so many potential uses, it's unreal! Be especially handy for those SG's with a SG Cossie, no more trying to describe the colour position, just give people the file

Pfft, old fart :P

I like em, osme good stuff there, be interesting to see them in different colours and with a girly butterfly on it

Loving some of the new cossie parts as well, if those stripy tights are available for females, expect a plethora of withces for halloween

Awesome news.....now tell them to add the EU forums to the official links on the side, it's bad enough the US devs ignoring us without the blooming community doing it as well

Is it just me or has the forum died again, no one seems to have posted in ages now!

No No No NO!!!

I refuse to do this again!

I have attempted to do this 3 times now and I failed miserably and what I wrote was pathetic drivel.

I refuse to put myself through it again
