    I don't think the devs could help you but you should an e-mail to the support of NCSoft.

    You can shutdown the launcher when you are running City Of Heroes. There is option in settings of the launcher for that.

But I am still having the same problem. Does anyone know why this is happening? I tried looking it up, but there does not seem to be any postings about this particualr problem.
    I has the same issue - then I clicked on Update and everything was fine then. Did you do this or are you still waiting for the update in the background?

    I think the community here can't help you with this problem. Ask the support.

    i saw this because your graphics driver is several levels ahead of mine (i only have Geforce 8700M with only 256 MB dedicated RAM since i play on laptop), but i have 2 GB of RAM and can run the new stuff fine and only start to really lag when im in very large group stuff such as hami raids, ship raids, or some of the incarnate stuff (although the incarnate stuff but be a different issue)

    the only other thing i could think of is your graphics driver appears to be out of date so i would give that a check as well

    i know for my system i can load into BAF faster than lambda, but i have more lag in BAF (powers and sometimes graphics) and lambda if i have any lag its usually only graphical lag. during the incarnate trials i can run about 14-16 FPS for the most part on minimal graphics settings

    i hope that helps

    (I lost just about all of my games yesterday so I'm kinda losing it right now & could really use the help. XD)
    I don't know why your launcher is this slow but mine have done the update within 3 Minutes.

    The same issue is happing with a tip mission where you must rescue Stormwind. Is this her name? She can get damage too - like Frostfire.

    I wrote the support some petitions of this problem but the response was: The mission is working like the Devs wanted to. I don't think so.
  8. Fireblaster
    I have sent a bug report and a petition to the support. Nothing's changed. I have the same issues. Believe me - right now I must do the shard way to getting threads. This is why I hope there will me more alternatives to the 2 trials to getting new incarnate stuff.
  9. Fireblaster
    Do you have send the support a message about this? I think this must be better than make the third Thread about this thing:

The best way to get iXP is to use the trials or a combo of threads/defeating mobs.
    Like I said before - I can't do the trials. The mapserver always kicked me in the trials at the beginning. I don't know why but it's so.

    BUT: You can always convert 10 shards into 5 threads without a 20 Hours Cooldown for sure. I have reached 60% iXP on one of the slots only with the shards.
    Since I20 the shards drops faster I think, so I don't think it's this way is much slower but not to slow.

    Of course, even running the trials and failing horribly would be a faster way to get the exp.
    I have a mapserver issue with the new trials. I must use the "shard way".

    Hi there.

    I didn't find the answer in the forums - so: How many iXP can I get from one thread and 2,500,000 Inf.? Is it always 3%?
  13. Fireblaster
    Okay. Then it could be a problem with the mapserver, but why for our machines only?
  14. Fireblaster
    I have the same issue. I think some older computers are not up to date for the new trials. My system is very similiar to yours.

    But I don't get. I have the Recommended System Requirements even but they are not enought for the new trials? I like to know if the DEVS tested the trials on those old systems? I don't think so...
  15. Fireblaster
    You can send Influence to your toon with the e-mail function. You can send it to your global name.

    For example: I send my e-mails to @Fireblaster

    I think it would be nice or fair if I my alphaslotted toon would get the EP for the Judgement Slot on solo missions or other TFs/SFs - like a bonus when you completed a mish.

    Why?

    There are people who doesn't want to make the new trials and I'm sure there are people who can't do the new trials. I have a very old PC and doesn't have the money for a new one. So my PC would crash in the new trials with this amount of action on the maps.
  17. Fireblaster
    I think this is no bug. They've changed the drops with Issue20. Now Shards will drop when you are doing TFs like the Numina-One when you are playing this with your alpaslotted Character. So why shouldn't the shards drop on the Trials then?

    Hallo zusammen,

    ich habe heute den Entwicklern eine Mail zukommen lassen und in einem Blog gepostet, was ich von Issue20 halte, das werde ich hier mal zitieren:

    Quote:
    Nun ist sie also das - die Issue20.

    Die klang auf dem Blatt Papier so toll und vielverpsrechend und was hat ParagonStudios daraus gemacht? Fast schon ein übertriebener WoW-Klon, was es das Farming vom Judgement Slot betrifft. Diese neuen Trials namens BAF und Lambda Sektor (oder so ähnlich) scheinen ja ganz schön happig zu sein und man muss sie immer und immer wieder spielen, um an die Belohnung zu kommen, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe?

    Warum soll ich mir diesen Streß antun? Das ist nicht mehr das CoX, wie ich es kennen und lieben gelernt habe. Henna lässt seinen Account schon auslaufen und ich überlege ganz stark, dies auch zu tun. Ich habe den Entwicklern mal eine Mail geschickt, einfach nur um einen Frust an der richtigen Stelle abzuladen, aber ändern wird das sicherlich nix.
    Und das ist meine Mail an die Entwickler:

    Quote:
    Hallo ParagonStudios,

    ich wende mich an Sie, weil ich mit dem Weg, den City Of Heroes/Going Rogue mit Issue20 geht, absolut nicht einverstanden bin.

    Der Grund: Die neuen Trials, mit denen man den neuen Judgement Slot freispielen kann.

    1. Diese Trials - vor allem der Lambda Sektor - sind fast nicht zu schaffen, wenn man den 2. Levelshift nicht hat und den kann man nur mit dem neuen Judegement Slot bekommen.

    2. Das bedeutet, man muss die neuen Trials immer und immer wieder machen muss um an die Freischaltung zu kommen.

    3. So entseht einfach der Zwang, dass man diese Trials FARMEN bzw. GRINDEN muss. Bislang fand ich an CoX/GR genau das so toll - man muss nicht Farmen wie z.b. WoW, um Erfolge zu erlangen. Warum also jetzt diese Sache mit den Trials? Ich weiß natürlich, dass man sie nicht spielen muss, aber warum soll ich auf etwas verzichten, was mir angeboten wird?

    Wenn Sie sich mal die Foren anschauen, werden Sie erkennen, dass ich nicht der einzige bin, der so denkt und ich kenne auch schon 2 deutsche Spieler, die ihre Mitgliedschaft bei Cox/GR nicht verlängern werden.

    Damit komme ich zum nächsten Punkt: Der deutsche Server Zukunft besteht gerade mal aus 60-80 Spielern, da ist es zu bestimmten Zeite nicht mal möglich, eine der neuen Trials mit genug Leuten zusammen zu stellen. Sicherlich, 8 Mitglieder im Team gehen noch, aber die sind ja bei dem unfairen Schwierigkeitsgrad von der Lambda Trial, viel zu wenig.

    Mein Account läuft noch bis Mitte 2011 und ich überlege stark dann diesem Spiel Lebewohl zu sagen, was sehr schade ist, denn bislang war es mein Lieblingsspiel, aber irgendwie haben Sie mir die Freude kaputt gemacht.

    Ich hoffe, Sie überdenken das ganze nochmal und bekommen noch mehr solche Schreiben, denn man sollte auch auf seine Community hören!
    Meine Frage ist nun: Kann es sein, dass City Of Heroes mit Issue20 dem deutschen Server den Todesstoß versetzt hat? Diese Trials sind einfach mit 8er-Teams kaum zu schaffen und so muss man sie sehr oft spielen, bis man sein Ziel erreicht hat. Zukunft ist sowieso schon leer, aber wenn ich mir anschaue, dass nicht nur deutsche Spieler dieses Farming sehr fragwürdig finden, glaube ich halt wirklich, dass sich NCSoft damit viele Spieler vergraulen könnte.

    Wie seht Ihr das?

    Can you say why? Have you proof about this silly statement? I don't think so. So please don't say anything like that. I feel much better with SP3 and my PC is working better with SP3 than before.

    If you are that paranoid you must turn your PC off forever...

    Which launcher do use? The old or the new one? If you are useing the new one please try the repair function. And contact the support too.
  24. Fireblaster
    I have a problem and want to know if I'm the only one. I can't get into the every solo mission since I20. When I try to enter it a popup's shown up which says: "You cannot enter."

    Anyone else with this problem?
