Hello all,

@dark-spider here, longtime (7,5 years) player, mainly on Defiant.
There is a page on Facebook that we made, so the community can stay together.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1194...716426/?ref=ts
or look for Defiant events on facebook.
It's mainly a site for Defiant players, but everyone is welcome, its a CoH Community site.
Hope to see you there soon.

@dark-spider

Hello All,

@dark-spider here. as a lontime player i am still shocked.
The Players on the Defiant server made a facebook page to stay in touch.
However its not exclusive to Defiant players, everyone is welcome to share thier toughts, fun times, pictures etc. about this wonderfull game.
look it up on:
www.facebook.com/Defiant Events

Hope to read lots of great superhero stories soon.

@dark-spider

The Defiant server is having a massive bug.
Nobody has any Paragon rewards.
This makes it impossible to chat in any channel. Also all the powers from paragon rewards don't work.

EU players getting the short end of the stick again.
this game is getting to be a joke, good way to scare away the existing players and welcome the new players !

Dark Spider

Thank you very much, that worked !!!

I couldn't post a support ticked, and i got help from the UK ncsoft support. However the problem wasn't fixed, so far a gametest program was run and i had to send its results by e-mail.

Thank you very much (TYVM)

Hello,

Everytime since this morning at about 1, the game crashes when i log in, and klick on the server i want to play on.
First time i crashed , it was after i played for a few hours, and wanted to switch charakters.
At the charakter select screen the game crashed.
After restarting my computer, i filled in my account name and password and got the: "this account is already logged in" message.
Then i klicked log in, and got the server select screen. When i klick on any server (defiant/zukunft or union) the game stops.
I tried this a lot of times since then, even in safe mode and after checking my firewall.
Still the same, even after 5 hours the game says still that my account is already logged in, and crashes everytime when i select a server.

@dark Spider

A Hamidon raid would be great!!!

sing me up, preferable on a sunday.
I can bring any AT to the raid, so assing me in any team you want.
Don't have fly on all toons, so i will buy a jet pack if needed, and craft a temp power.

@dark spider

After todays patch, i can't connect to the servers.
Tried it 3 times, always the same.

I had the same problem once after the latest patch.

Anyone with an idea why?
its not my firewall or my internet connection.

Dark Spider

Great !!!

Where do i sign up?

The chars i have: (all 50)

Dark spider Spine/sr and kaminari BS/inv scrappers
Green anhk empath/nrg defender
Morgan la fey mind/kin troller
Kjai belarong stone/axe tank
Dazzling supernova rad/nrg and mercury singer sonic/dev blasters.

@dark spider

sounds teriffic !

I was on a hamiraid 2-3 weeks ago on union, it went really smooth.

The plan they use can be found here:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=208305

The tanks for the yellow mitos and the hamidon tanks need essence of earth, others not so much. you also need good communication with the co-leaders (teamleaders) and good specific teams. (hamidon tank team, 2 yellow mitos tank teams, 1-2 melee fighters, 1-2 ranged fighters, 1-2 holders (for the green mitos).

saturday the 2nd in the evening would be great, i can suply anything, empath, stone tank, mind troller, scrapper,blaster or even a villain.

after reinstalling the driver, the game started...
But after logging in one char and being in paragon for a minit, the game freezes and crashes.

Edit: Seems to be one char in Steel canyon on the defiant server only.
Logged in another char atm in Atlas.

Hi,

When i try to log in i get this:

Your card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_multitexture
Your card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_texture_compression

Detected video card or driver is currently unsupported Nvidia Geforce GTX 285.
The game may run poorly or not at all with you curretn configutation.
Current system requirements are Geforce 2 or better, Ati radeon 8500 or better.


I Have a Geforce GTX 285, which normally runs fine.
This is very weird, as i have been playing the game each day for years, lasrt was yesterday and i didn't get any errors.

Can someone help me?

Dark Spider

Great, lets beat the yello !

I can bring a ice/empath troller, nrg/invul tank, psi/mental blaster or fire/regen scrapper.
all 50

how much does this job pay?

Spiderling

Welcome back,

it might help if you join the defiant events channel, either do it yourself, or send a tell to my global @dark spider.

The community has its ups and down. at the moment it seesm stable.
joining a supergroud will help finding people to team with too.

Updated: 15 march

Hello defiant,

The Hamidon raid is coming soon,(21th March, 15:00) so its time to get a bit more organized.

To defeat him we need several teams each has its own function in the raid.
1) Hamidon tank team, 1-2 tanks and healers to taunt hamidon and keep its agro.
2) 2 ranged damage teams, to defeat the blue mito's. Preferable blasters, trollers,defenders.
3) 2 melee damage teams, for the yellow mitos. Scrappers,tanks and defenders.
4) 2 mixed teams, for the green mitos, who take ranged and melee damage, All AT's.

that would be 7 teams. since there is a 50 player limit, we can't fill them all, maybe 7 in a team could be done. at least one char with recall friend in a team would be good, so we can teleport people to a safe spot between mitos spawns.

Important: Since many Mitos are way up in the air, you need either fly or superjump, Ranged fighters could do without, but some travel power with vertical (up/down) movement would still be the best.

Essence of earth are crucial, farming will be done in the next two weeks, make sure you have lots of them. you can also put them in you SG base storage.

How to defeat Hamidon?
to get a little example how to defeat him, you could do the lady grey tf, which has a much weaker Hamidon, but the tactic is almost the same.

1) grab hamidon agro, keep the hamidon tank alive.
2) kill the mitos fast, each team has its own color mitos to defeat.
3) the mitos respawn, so between spawns we retreat, buff/heal and attack again.
4) some Devouring Earth monsters will attack during the raid. i will assign a team to take them out.

To make good teams i need to know what charakter you will use, pls give your name, global name and powersets. you can always send me a tell in-game, my global is @dark Spider.
Also, pls don't have a costume with capes/wings or aura's as they cause terrible lag !!!!

Roster so far (8-3-2010) (i need to know the chars the people will use that signed up).

Tank team:
@Herczeg-stonr tank
Green Anhk- @dark Spider- defender
Reefy nurse- @mereman -defender
Robo medic MKIV- @cambo- def

Ranged (blue) team 1:
Sinergy x- @sinegy x- Blaster -teamleader
@defcon kid -blaster
Brown xenon-blaster
@Double s- blaster
@Green spartan- blaster
@Catastrophy- defender
marauder x- blaster


Ranged (blue) team 2:

Melee (yellow) team 1:

Scene (?) -tank
Uther dracus- @uther dracus- scrapper-teamleader
Qui-gong- @qui-gong- scrapper
Sapphic Neko-@sapphic veko-scrapper
Super ready- @super ready- scrapper

Melee (yellow) team 2:

Mixed (green) team 1:
Mixed (green) team 2:

How long ago has it been since we took Hamidon down?

When enough players sign up, i want to do a Hamidon raid in March.

EDIT: Best for me would be 21th March, starting at 15:00. this gives us enough time to do the raid, rest a bit and enjoy the evening. It's a heroes Hamidon raid, lvl 45+ needed to enter the Hive, but coming with a lvl 50 is better.

Sign up with the char you want to use pls, and if you want to be in a team with other players (sg/friends).
I am willing to assign people to teams and post a raid plan.

It takes some planning and Essence of Earth farming before the raid.


For Defiant !

Dark Spider

Could i join the MoSTF?

The best i can offer are a mind/kin troller or sonic/dev blaster.
Other options are:
Spine/sr BS/Inv scrappers, Emp/nrg defender, stone/axe tank.
see you in-game.
