An example of the above:
I wanted a dual blade/ninjitsu stalker of asian/oriental/eastern origin.
Something like a 'Ninja Assassin' a name which wasn't available,
'Blade Assassin' was also not available so I tried via translation pages...
It turned out the romanised Japanese translation of 'Blade Assassin' is:
Ken Kyoukan
Which is what I named him in the end and it looks better as a name. -
Am using Max Ultramode on my PC, get the same issues on all the basic shield types both standard and reinforced as no matter the design pattern not emblem it displays using the primary colour rather than the secondary for the shield patterns.
Note: Have the players not seeing this been to the tailors yet as their shields may be legacy ones. -
Just my 2 inf...
My kin's took it to slot with endmod.
I tend to only use it characters that seem to be eating endurance,
As it helps them avoid toggle drops from ooe situations. -
Just an FYI,
Speed Boost 3 slotted with EndMod IO's at level 50 will give a targetted player:
99.5% (1.66 End/sec) Recovery
In addition to the Speed, Recharge and Resistance to Debuffs on them.
According to the current Mids (Version 1.7 - 10/05/10)
For reference,
Radiations Accelerate Metabolism 3 slotted gives:
57.9% (1 End/sec) Recovery
In addition to the 20% DMG Buff, Debuff Resistance and Status Resistances.
According to the current Mids (Version 1.7 - 10/05/10) -
/Signed
Time Bomb with Remote Detontator (Toggle)
Sounds Wicked, I would even accept an end hit placing the device, well you have to place and arm it carefully as you want to avoid [Self Destruct]ion.
Something like 50% end hit on deployment, none for timeout/detoggle detonation...
It could even have a mild self damage component if you get interupted and it goes Boooom. -
EU Servers Down for the count as of midday, no forum announcement and just a windows error popup message along the line of:
You have been forcibly kicked from the game as the servers' down.
Typical EU service... -
Have you tried re-clicking on the ally, as you sometimes have to do if you get out of range and they lost their lock on you.
I found this sometimes helps with borked combat allies too, tag them move away from them so they follow you and their AI kicks in to go into combat again.
Hope it helps as a workaround until it's properly fixed. -
Can you run test in the using CoH test updater's gfx safemode?
Thats NOT windows safemode, but the safemode checkbox in the updater on the second page, after you have 'read the EULA and' clicked Next.
It may be you have the lag glitches from Ultramode on test, the graphics safemode should remove any ultramode settings and make it playable again, then you can reset your resolution (and shadow shaders if required) then restart test and adjust the rest of the settings to your likeing. -

First: Dual Names
It's highly likely that, when honorable hero, Cpt. Justice, goes Rogue, he doesn't go by his hero name, but adopts an alias, like Evil Evilness. So, what if we could select a secondary name for our toons? Basically, your original name appears when in Paragon City(heroes)/Rogue Islands(villains), your alias when you switch to the other side. When in Praetoria, you select which one to appear.
This is oft requested and sorry but an alias option has already been suggested:
04-05-2008, 04:19 PM - Several suggestions and how they could be done.
07-27-2009, 06:47 PM - Coolio's suggestions list...Quote:1. Add a Secret ID option.
Do this by adding a 'AKA:' text box with a drop box 'Off', 'On', 'Costume slot 0' to '4' to your characters ID page, this would allow you to select a Secret ID for a character and turn it off, on or automatically select it using an existing costume slot (/CC 1)
Implementation, This:
Title : The Amazing
Name : Spiderflan
SG : Spiderflan and friends
Would become: (In Secret ID/AKA mode.)
Name : Spiderflan
Secret ID/AKA : Peter Barker
SG : Spiderflan and friends
Therefore using the existing in game name display system and without the requirement for new costume slots.
Both mine and there are plenty of similar since...Quote:9. Secret ID.
I have previously suggested an easier way to do a secret/hidden id effect...
Basically it's a text entry section and checkbox/costume selection number in the players ID allowing for their disguise name, hidden status and optional costume slot selection.
This would then display their hidden/secret ID name in place of their normal information where their name is displayed ingame.
Examples ignoring Badge selected:
Normal:
The Legendary
Coolio Wolfus
Coolio's Crusaders
Hidden:
Coolio Wolfus
Anon Amos
Coolio's Crusaders
This shouldn't affect the /t , or other commands as it would only be a display change.
Title changes from their Title to the characters official Name.
Name changes to become the secret ID name.
Supergroup would still be shown as now.
Additionally the players Badge Title could get hidden when using the secret ID.
Optional suggestion:
However rather than the chat text displaying '<Name>:' it could show '<Hidden/secret ID Name> (<Name>):'.
In the example above 'Coolio Wolfus:' would become 'Anon Amos (Coolio Wolfus):'.
Note that the tell information is still shown inside the () as the official characters name. -
If you did a clean install, remember once you fix this to do windows updates to SP3 and beyond...
BBC News:
Microsoft to patch 17-year-old computer bug
Infected XP owners left unpatched
I would quote but easier to read from the site, in context. -
If it helps, I made a .zip of the VidiotMaps map files for a manual MAC install.
vm_mappack.zip
(Located: http://www.mediafire.com/Coolio)
I can't make a MAC installer, but all you would need to do is to extract the zip to the directory containing CityofHeroes.exe
And no I'm not ripping off VidiotMaps, as I state it is their version of the CoH maps but without the installer and uninstaller .exe's as these do not work on MAC's.
__________________
Note for VidiotMaps...
Once the VidiotMaps site starts hosting it's own files again and restores the MAC files, or asks me politely. I'll pull the zip file from the above link. -
And again! And again! And...

Another posibility: It could also possibly be a Virus or similar.
Update your Antivirus and run it...
(Most Anitvirus software doesn't automatically run by itself!)
Don't panic as this is only 1 of the possible causes...

Cordless mouse batteries.
Cordless mouse interference.
Loose mouse cable.
Damaged mouse cable.

Ok, so i17 is Ultramode, I assume GR is technically i18 then as info jumps from i17 thru GR to i19?
-
The pc installer won't but, the nc acct master download will as will the architect game code on the mac version.
As long as you get the correct NA/EU version.
I added the MAC pack items to my PC by getting a MAC version (digitally) and using the code on my PC CoH game. -

Dear Paragon,
I'd like to thank all of you for the best Introduction to my first MMO I could of possibly hoped for. The EU City of Heroes community is something very special, and It has been a real privilege to have served alongside all of you fighting crime in Paragon City for nigh on five years and to have met some of the most wonderful characters from your Imaginations.
Alas, last night my graphics card decided to give up the ghost after 6 years of avid gamer punishment, and although I had hoped to have said goodbye to all of you in-game - I don't think I'm going to be able to get it fixed to meet the deadline of my lapsing 6-month holiday subscription plan, therefore I think this will be farewell, at least for now.
My plans are to eventually return, (looking forward to 'Going Rogue') but I am devoting considerably more of my free time into a part-time 2-day a week 1 year '3D Studio Max' course that will require some concentration on my behalf, so I think this will probably work out for the best... a nice long break allowing both unseen CoH content and new zones to pile up and simultaneously allowing me to save for a shiny new rig to play it on.
I won't be able to post anymore on the CoH forums after the 3rd of September, but will be on and able to post to the CO ones as I have a lifetime membership in anticipation of my new rig, (albeit a couple of months or so down the line). Anyone will still be able reach me at ML's address; mothers_love@hotmail.co.uk.
I would like to wish Paragon City a bright and prosperous future. Maybe sometime in the future, a City of Heroes will once again need a Mother's Love.. but for now I would just like to say It has been an absolute honour... I am going to miss you all terribly.
Take care of one another.
Kind Regards,
Mother's Love.
(and her representitive outside of Paragon) Simon. -

I would very much like to hear from the person that is responsible for the EU servers.

I would very much like to know his or hers strategy for marketing, but most of all I would want to know what stops a server-list-merge. What are the "hurdles", the problems the company faces, the obstacles. This I would very much like to hear from an employee of the company (preferably the person with the white cat).
(And to you who are responsible: I have no other way to imagine you for you have stayed so hidden in the scenario. Do come out of the dark and speak to us. Who knows we might even be able to help you with these problems.
[Looks at the Eu crowd: "Peacefully!" looks back to the person in the shadows]
We just want to continue enjoying the game. Please respond. -

Not sure this is the right place, but where in the store is the Going Rogue pre-order to be found? I only see Europe version, where other items in the store (regular CoH etc) have a link to the US version, the Going Rogue one doesnt.
