  1. Honestly, having done it a bunch of times, removing the Nukes will really only take away some prep time. We only really use a couple of Bio nukes now, but they can easily be replaced by some extra Empaths. The damage nukes were for funs, and only 1 chem nuke ever did anything to Ruladek (did nothing to Lanaruu), which can be compensated by a few rads.

    The strategy will be the same:
    If it's Lanaruu (stormy) - wait for timer to run out, try again later
    If it's Ruladek (red one) - 2 of the Empaths throw down RAs (I think that caps, maybe it's 3), beat up spawns, beat down Ruladek, 2 more empaths throw down RAs in the middle of fighting Ruladek, beat spawns, beat Ruladek. Easy peasy.

    Of course, we'll only run it if people want the badge. The rewards are laughable.
  2. What, no Rularuu? Those things were designed for the I4 tanks and never toned down.

    Anyway, the 2 types of critters I need to hit purples before the fight when on my Kat/Regen are the Dark Ring Mistresses and Vanguard. They can tear me to shreds far faster than I can regen!
  3. Yeah, so... in the beta forums there was a huge sticky that said "Do not use the uninstall that came with the beta install or you will uninstall your live CoH"

    They probably should have moved that sticky...

    Oh no, they were gone, enhancement tray was empty and all of my powers had all of my old SO/IOs in them. I petitioned immediately and they've since shown back up in my enhancement tray (apparently I also had a stray SO in the tray that I had forgotten about, too).

    I will /respec from base from now on though, or start up an Ouros arc.
  5. Happen to anyone else?

    I had a timed out /respec (Logged out mid-enhancement placing). Logged back in, /respec again and finished my respec, assigning the 5 set IOs in my tray to powers, selling off a bunch of SO's, and keeping a bunch of Damage IOs to sell in my enhancement tray.

    Respec failed, and my enhancement tray is empty now. I'm missing the 5 IOs that I went into the respec with.

    I kind of figured they weren't the first to find that particular issue.
    Yeah, I bugged a reliable griefing bug in beta and got jack squat, so I'm pretty sure they're just not handing it out anymore.

    Or maybe I should've just waited till it hit live before bugging it, who knows.

    No, I'm not bitter, not at all.
  7. If it happens that all entries for a particular zone are terrible (let's be honest, some got it, some don't), are you going to be forced to use a terrible user submitted loading screen, or will you go out and take your own screenshots for it so that we end up with quality screens?
  8. Happening to me, too.

    WinXP
    Google Chrome

    also
    Windows Vista
    Google Chrome

    I tried clearing my cookies, but this is clearly a server issue that's kicking in when the "old" cookie expires.
  9. I still felt guilty so I made somefin for ya <3



  10. I'm sorry sweetie, I totally missed your birthday

    I'll give you lots of cake and a cute boy to make up for it. God, I feel like an *** for forgetting.

    Went AFK for a bit, so this is a little late.

    Announcements like this have to be explicit, and they should know that. If the announcement says "This is what you're getting in I18" it should not include any hints about side switching if you can't side switch.

    As mentioned in the ViDoc videos, characters have to do a number of "Tip" missions before they can get a "Morality" mission. The "Morality" mission is the determining mission that changes your alignment, and is only available to players who purchase the Going Rogue expansion.
    You may want to reword this then: "These Tips start new mission arcs, allowing characters to face new opponents and challenges--and perhaps even change their destiny."

    It implies that you will be able to change your destiny without purchasing GR.

    Well, if I had to guess.... The issue title is "Shades of Grey" so maybe you'll allowed to become Vigilante or Rogue without the expansion, but unable to fully switch sides.

    So you can go Hero->Vigilante->Hero as many times as you want, but if you want Villian, you need to buy the expansion.
  14. Incidentally, Females still have access to the split patterned pants, using "Tight Pants" as the bottom (Please don't take this away because I'm pointing it out to you. Instead give it back to everyone.):

    1) wrap skirt (was not named this)

    I suspect this was a glitch where one of the current miniskirt patterns got twisted so the side-seams showed up in front and back instead. I didn't realize it at the time and so I thought it was an awesome wrap skirt. To me, it looks more like a real skirt than the version we have now with the seams down the sides. I would love to have this back (or a version of it), as I've had to change this toon since then, so she lost it.


    I still have it, and I would love to be able to put it on other characters, it came out awesome



    The other thing is that when I4 hit, the "Jackets" option came in (this is also when the split pants patterns disappeared), and the old Female, Male, and Huge suit jackets were removed.

    They were not replaced with anything that was good (but hey, you could layer them!!).
  16. Ok, I'm having difficulty finding a good video card, in hopes that maybe I can turn on some more ultra settings. My husband just decided to buy himself a computer, so I'm trying to piggyback on that

    My system is... 3 years old I think. It's a Shuttle XPC - and this is my biggest limiting factor, it has a form factor power supply that is 300 Watts

    I do not need low profile (I thought I did, but just checked and there's room for a pretty big card). My PCIE slot is next to a PCI slot that is currently empty.

    Anyone have any recommendations? I currently have a GeForce 8600 GT 512MB DDR2 which isn't terrible, but I'd like to see the pretty (and I think it's starting to die, anyway).
  17. Happy Birthday!!! I will make you some pink cupcakes
  18. Sorry so shaky - here's the new GR info. Didn't realize there was thread here, too

    I would love to see this confrontation, can anyone videotape it?

There are always going to be farms, and people using exploits to gain certain advantages. It's part of any game. Live with it. Let them do as they will, stop it when you can, delete the farms as they appear, but stop messing with the game structure just to try and nerf them. It always seems to cause some sort of stability issue, and honestly in the end you end up with more players angry that you bugged their game than those angry that you nerfed their farm. Just some food for thought.
    You are aware that the exploit allowed someone to level 1-50 in under an hour, yes?

    It wasn't a minor bug. It was a game debilitating exploit. The longer it existed on the servers, the more people would know about it. You could fill up your entire roster of 12 characters per server and get them to 50 in under a week. Then what do you do? Can't roll another alt, so you cancel your account before you've even paid for the first month.

    You're right - I totally missed the VIP/Polo part of the announcement. I couldn't remember if they had a cover or not.

    Their dress code is pretty lax, from what I remember. I know I was allowed in once with a bandana on, jeans & sneakers. That was probably over 5 years ago though, it could be different now.

    I stopped going because, well, for one I moved out of the city, and for 2, I didn't want to wait for a table :P
  23. Hm, that's really late; might not be able to make it because the baby always wants me around to be able to sleep. I hope you guys booked a private room because it is a really busy place on a Saturday night. Really really busy.

    That said, is there a cover charge?
