  1. I wouldn't quote me on this, but that seems about normal to me.

    I play on two different PC's. One with 512 ( ) and one with 1gb.

    On the 512 one, CoX generally uses around 300,000 or so. And on the 1gb it uses about 500,000 - 600,000.

    Do you have any other things running in the background? Espcially Antivirus/firewall.

    Actually, come to think of it, are you sure it's not network lag?

    Next time it happens, enter '/netgraph 1' into the chatbox and see if there are any lag spikes.

    S4?!?!?

    Pfft. You wish!

    Why run two separate forums anyway would be my question

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Alot of that is down to data protection laws in the EU. We have them, the US doesn't. NCSoft Europe can't share customer details with the US side of things. They're technically seperate companies.
  4. How much RAM do you actually have in the first place?
  5. Isn't this pretty much the whole point of the Test Server?

    A. a warning system

    [/ QUOTE ]

    All upcoming patch notes are usually put on Test before they go out.

    [ QUOTE ]
    B. Open and ongiong community consultation

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Again, the Test server allows us to give them feedback.

    But letting the players have a say in balancing? That will never work. Nobody wants their characters to be nerfed (well, some people see the sense in it) - but most of the time it's for the best in the long run.

    A pretty extreme example, but look at Regen Scrappers. By far one of the easiest scrapper sets to play. And this is after some pretty giant nerfs. Anyone remember Instant Healing being a toggle? I was pretty [censored] when they changed that, but in all honesty, Regen is actually more fun to play these days.
  6. Then when we've all hit level 60, they'll have to raise it to 70, then 80 and so on.
  7. Just hit 'Print Screen'

    It saves them in the screenshots folder (in your main install folder). Handily date and time stamped.

    And '/screenshotui 0' to turn of the UI. '1' to turn it back on again.

    As far as I can remember, he didn't run the company anyway - his wife did.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yup, he did the art, she handled the business.

    Agreed. It's well beyond caring if he's having trouble in his private life.

    If he can't finish the work, then he needs to give people their money back or he's a thieving *******.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I 200% agree with this post.

    Don't get me wrong, I believe in giving people a second chance and all - but this problem has been going on for way too long and needs to come to a stop.

    But I think it's a bit rude to call him a thieving *******.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, I said if he doesn't return all their money.

    I'm sure Castle meant internally, as in they know about the suggestion from the forums but they've never actively discussed or worked on designs.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's how I read it.

    Can you not purchase game time cards from the NCStore using this method? One way around the not using it for paying for subs issue.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Just had a look, and it seems like you can't.

    But that would be a good way around it. Offer online time cards...after all, it's only the serial number that people need.
  13. Are all your drivers fully up to date?

    (England didn't even qualify. We suck. Hard)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    On that note, neither did Scotland, Wales or Ireland. Shows how bad we are.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, but at least Scotland beat Italy and France (twice).

    Here is a post from Warhammer Online, they are saying that the CC in that game (beta, I assume) might be too weak:

    http://vnboards.ign.com/warhammer_on...757807/p1/?128

    The players seem to believe that less CC is good. Isn't it interesting that in this PvE oriented game, players are happy with lots of CC and in the PvP game, players are not.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Can I make a point you may not have noticed?

    This is City of Heroes. Not Warhammer, not WoW. If you don't like it, tough. Nobody is going to agree that dumping the Controller AT is a good idea.
  17. [ QUOTE ]
    I've got a better idea let's just remove power choices totally so we can all run around with sprint, brawl and an apprentice charm/taser. That will surely make everything entirly fair!!!!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    /signed

    This is the only fair thing to do. It's totally unfair that my Empath can't pwn everyone.

    You wouldn't vote against kittens would you?!
  19. While I've noticed a massive drop in my global friends, that's only to be expected. Most of them have been playing since launch.

    If anything though, I'm finding it easier than ever to get a team on villains. Although this is around level 23 or so.

    I wish I'd been hacked - I could report it and maybe get the Bug Hunter badge

    There's more in life then badges... or so they tell me.







    Wish I knew what, though!

    Souvenirs of course.

    Apart from the Green Lantern changing from a white guy, to a black guy, I cant think of any major hero changes either

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Green Lantern has never changed from a white guy to a black guy. There are thousands of Green Lanterns.

    Although now that you mention it, Guy Gardner had some weird alien powers for a while. But that was pretty [censored].

    Its something they really need to look at i think. I agree it is easy to get your hands on a WoW timecard .. much harder to get hold of an NCsoft one!

    I will have to have a look into this Pre-pay credit card thingamebob!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nothing they can do about that. The stores choose what they stock.
  23. You say it would be in keeping with comic books...but I'm having a hard time thinking of a character who has changed that significantly.
  24. Since it works in safe mode, try gradually turning on all the settings you would normally have until the problem reoccurs. Once it does, you'll know what option is actually causing the troubles.
