Deus Ex Machina

I've been having this problem ever since I16 came out for open beta. When I click to logout, the entire game freezes and I'm forced to do a hard reboot for my computer. I'm not sure if it is a bug or if is just something with my Mac.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thx.

Gladiator badges are like an extra surprise kind of thing. You never know when you'll get until "surprise" you get it.

Anyways run the Talos Safeguard mission a couple times and do the extra side missions that get you more time. You'll get the gladiator badge in no time.

I was on a team yesterday that allowed three of us to cycle for the tournament badge and each of us got it each time.

The way we did it was once the fight started, all but the badger exited without fighting anyone. Once the win message came up for the badger, they exited as well. The same tactic was used for the second and third stages; go in and let the match start; all but the badger quites; badgers waites for the win message and timer to go down.

Using this tactic, three of us were able to get the badge successfully.

At least this year the costume code does not seem like it will be permanent; looks like it will be temporary like the Halloween costumes. Still it bites that us on the Eastern shore are pretty well out of luck for these. I know I can not afford a plane ticket and/maybe hotel costs for even one night to attend.

The costume code functions just like the ones given out last year at the cons. It is a toggle power that you can turn on and off.

Aaaahhhhh; isn't there some way we can beg, plead, worship, or whatever for those of us less fortunate to still have a chance to get it?

Plz?

I think these tournament badges - the swiss draw and pentad badges are gonna quite difficult to figure out how to get. Especially since it kinda sounds like the methods for determining who the "winner" is get kinda confusing.

Seems like it's going to be pretty hard to get the accolade. Most of the badges should be pretty easy to get but the Tournament and Arena Survivalist badges will be difficult since you need so many to get them. Its almost like forming a TF group to get them.

Thx for the suggestions all.

I figure my best bet is to try and get enough people for run the first STF over and over as needed.

or just head to RV and deal with the pvpers. Which ever comes first or whatever time of the day it is.

Anyhoo thx.

Deus

Thx.

Did not think that there would be a way but figured it could not hurt to get a second opinion.

Anyways thx.

Tried not long ago to copy over one or two; tried a couple times but they never show up ever though I could log in.

Hey all,

Is there a way to "move" a mission objective up or down in order instead of having to delete and re-create them? I was trying to adjust one of my story arc's missions and wanted to re-arrange the objectives.

So is there a way? Yes? No? Not Yet?

Thx.

Deus

Faultline really? I don't remember ever seeing any there before. Where about in Faultline are they usually located?

Thx.

Deus.

Hey all,

Is there a story arc or something beyond RV or Warburg that contains Mu Guardians? I'm just checking because I'm not too fond of pvp zones and all that.

Anyways thx.
Deus

I am pretty sure you can get the standing upright with the shield out by typing:

/e none

I am pretty sure this works until you start moving and then you drop back into the fighting stance. I suppose though that you might be able to put this in a macro of some sort.

Anyways there you go.

I let the test server download run. It downloaded about 700MB worth of files and claimed it was ready to go. I copied the piggs folder from live to test directory (did not replace any existing files) and ran the updater again, at which point the launcher fired up and... connected to live. I'm downloading a completely new copy now, from scratch, and am hoping that fixes it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did that overnight, and it acted like it was downloading or rather it said fixing all the files. But when I tried it this morning it did the same crash and error report after I hit 'next' after launching the mac test client.

I once thought about doing something like option 2 but I was never sure how to get this going with someone. That said if I decide to even do something like this how much rep. do you get per defeat and how much rep. you lose per day?

Does anyone know this?

Thx

"Loading Bind Files

The City of Heroes Mac client has a "D" drive mapped to the location of your current Home folder on the Mac. Placing your bind file there will allow you to load it directly from inside the game:

1. Place a bind file, such as "binds.txt", in your Home folder.

2. In-game, type "/bindloadfile d:/binds.txt" and press Return.

3. Your binds are now available!"

Hello,

I can not find the Home Folder or the D: drive; are they listed or titled as something else in the Mac?

I did the select 'Show packaged contents' from the COH icon in the apps folder - then to content - resources - transgaming. I tried to do my binds from the c_drive folder with no success. I have tried further to find a the file you mentioned about with also no success.



Thx.

Hey,

I am having trouble loading some bind files for my WS; I can't seem to find the command to load the bind file through my Mac.

Does anyone know how to load a bind file using a Mac? Where the files should go and the command to load them, etc?

Thx.

IS there a way to have allies that work with you up until a certain point or after an objective is accomplished and then turn on you? I have tried to do a search for this and look through the MA system online but can't find or see a way.

Is there some trick to do this kind of thing or can it simply just not be done.

Thanks.
Deus

Hey folks,

I've checked in with all the powers that be and we have pleaded the community case. This bug is not cosmetic it is a performance related issue and unfortunately we cannot leave it live.

Just wanted to clarify that point.

Can it become a feature?

QFE times ..... however many times it takes for this to stay.

Yeah I figured it out when I took a closer look in edit mode. I forgot that I had unlockable content on this mission. So for obvious reasons it would not work if I did not have that content unlocked on the live servers.

I did the transfer of the folders and my missions were there when I went to the live server but now it will not let me publish them. It seems to be acting like the mission is published because the publish tab is greyed out but on the "my published stories" tab nothing is there. Did something change or mess up when I moved the files on my mac? or could it be something else?

Thanks.

Are the wings, capes, and Mission Teleporter currently in the Mac Beta? If so are the capes available at character creation?

Not that I have been able to find so I don't think so.

Cool thx. I saw when it had finished downloading it had already opened the drag to app screen.

Thanks.

Hey all -

I have had a MAC for awhile now but I have never quite gotten the hang of installing programs. Let me know if I have this right or wrong.

Double-click the .dmg file from the desktop
Drag icon to the applications folder

Is this right or is it done a different way for CoX.

Thanks.
Deus
