Coolio

The former EU Test server has been Internally re-purposed...

I would assume it's getting converted into the new VIP server for COH:Freedom

Amazon.com and amazon.co.uk respectively have had the Collectors and Deluxe versions of CoH for sale...

Iirc both of these work:

/Petcomall dismiss
/Releasepets

But note that the Oro portal, and mobile craft table are classed as pets too.

A weird one is the extra trays from the + option not the original 3,

If you are using any of the extra trays on a character and alt to one who isn't those same trays stay active, although they are all set to tray 1, and the uppermost had a weird shape.

The code that checks if a character is using them and opens the extra trays should imo also check if they are only using the default 1 to 3 and then not open any unnecessary trays.

As far as I can tell this annoyance/bug has been in since the + option for additional trays has been.


Overlapping Insps/Enhancements Trays and Badge/Mission/Contact info, both seem to occur when switching between a character with one set active and one with the other (same as above), additionally this can occur between logoff/exit and the next game session too.


And my least favorite, the minimap on a new character if unlocked from the nav bar and moved, once you log out it closes, once you log back in and move it again it will stick, but never the first time!

I know it's a melee set but Kinetic Melee has attacks which almost look like casting spells.
Example from Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59kX4hrnAZI

Have it on a mage character of mine too.

Still hoping for a Kinetic Blast/Assault using a ranged version of the attacks but keeping the cast animations.

Hope this helps:

Interesting, I'd have the Teleport beacon as a toggle tbh, upon detoggling you zap back to the target beacon's /loc. (Would recommend zone limited range tho.)

Probably because that is it's error catching response usually reserved for corrupt banned or otherwise restricted characters and character names.

I don't think a Queue overload situation was ever planned for, at least it's falling back to a generic error message rather than just crashing, but I agree it could do with a Queue full error message.

Apparently ALL Beta and potentially all test characters got wiped, therefore everyone and their dog are trying to replace the lost test characters with replacements from live, multiple characters per player soon adds up, it's been intermittently at full capacity since it came back online, then there are the players who having not seen the copy appear have re-queued their character multiple times.

Gonna take a while for all these copies to actually get created and moved especially if each character to copy is ingame at the time too.

Gotta say this:

It appears to be a little overloaded atm, please people give it time, to recover before you crash the thing!

I don't know how long the copy list queue is but all these character name invalids make me think that the queue is FULL!

Looks like it is just bulked down, wait for a previous queued character to move and there will be another space to load a copy request into...

Also turning off sending buff numbers will reduce network lag a fraction too.

World detail @ 200%, this increases the amount of items the game has to render by more than a factor of 2...

I run with this set on my old Pentium 4 PC with a Sapphire 4650 HD AGP card,
I find that setting:

FSAA: 2 (or less)

Ambient Occlusion: Advanced Customization
To a lower Ambient Resolution setting.

Shadow Mode: Shadow Map Shader
A lower setting. (I use Medium)

Anisotropic Filtering: 16x

And the rest on Ultramode settings works for me.

And remember at 200% World Detail you are rendering more detail and this extra detail all gets treated with your rendering settings.

Regarding Dual Auras...

A couple of nice options that this could have would be:

Omega Eye Aura + Omega Full Body Combat Aura
(So glowing eyes normally and full body w/glowing eyes in combat.)

Thunderhead Body W/Eyes + 'Incarnate' Thundercloud Trail Aura
__________________

May I offer a (complex) suggestion to get around excessive auras:

Duplicate the auras into two lists...

If the auras were provisioned 'Primary' and 'Secondary' then have any active 'Primary' override an active 'Secondary' on the same area.
Thus each body area in the secondary aura could be overridden by it's primary counterpart.

Head, Eyes, Breath, Body, Chest, Wings, Fists, Legs, Trail. (And maybe Tail?)
__________________

Blue Aura Eye Secondary + Red Eye Combat Aura Primary

On a robotic character (for example) giving them blue glowing eyes until they enter combat at which point their eyes would go red (not purple) as the primary aura would take priority for the eyes for the duration of combat, in other words whilst the primary combat aura was active, outside combat the primary being a combat aura is inactive, thus allowing the secondary to take back over and restoring the blue eye aura.

Don't forget the Veteran Trenchcoat, which also did the arms/sleeves (Imho) correctly.

Additionally as they can lockout different options depending on the selection, they need to rework Wings and Backpacks to work with all tailed Jackets such as the Trenchcoat, Magic Bolero, Etc.

They currently say we cannot have 2 cape effects which is why Back items get locked out when selecting an independent Jacket with it's capelike tail, however the female bridal hair or a back cape option will work with the Wedding Tux Jacket. (Both Sleeveless and Normal versions.)
