Flarecrow

Those are the ones I have installed

Also, I must say that I have tried to find current drivers for this thing for the last week with no avail. If I can get this thing running CoH, I may just be able to shark my MacBook back from her so I can play lol.

So, I'm trying to get City of Heroes up and running on an older laptop. it's a Dell Inspiron 1318. Whenever I boot CoH, I get music but no display. It said something about graphics drivers being out of date, but I can't seem to find any newer than 2009. If it's not the graphics drivers causing the issue, how do I find out what IS causing it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I've been tweaking and tricking on this build for hours now and my brain is pretty well worn out on it. Trying to make this toon work is something I've been at for ages, but I'm not familiar enough with numbers vs. application as far as Dark Armor is concerned.

So, here's where I got stuck. I know there are picks I don't need, but I'm not sure what else to do. Also, I used a tanker build I found on external forums as a sort of guide, but I can't remember where I found them. It's been sitting in my builds folder for months. At any rate, here it is.

Was wondering if anyone out there had tried out the ASUS Ares, to see what kind of performance it allows COH. Anyone?

As far as windows updates, I'm not sure. I did update my ATi Drivers, but, it wasn't an immediate difference. I updated them and everything was fine for a week or so, then it started acting up. I went back (Uninstalled the drivers, used driver sweeper, and installed an older set) but the problem persisted.

It has 4 GB. I've been running Win7 on this machine for the last 8 months, and it only started doing this a few weeks ago. None of my internal components have been upgraded.

EDIT: I built this system brand new 8 Months ago, at which time I installed Windows 7 as the primary OS.

Ok, so I'm using an HD 5870 and I'm having a weird issue.

The Frame Rate repeatedly drops from where it should be (Synced at 60) down to 25 - 30. There is no direct interval, and there is no consistency other than it happens often enough to make any game unplayable.

As an experiment, I loaded Windows XP on another Hard drive. With all the same ATi Drivers and settings, and In-Game settings (Both CoH and STO) The problem only Happens on my Windows 7 Installation. So, it's not a Hardware problem. Also, It's not a Virus, because I scanned the machine for it and It came back clean (I'm a PC Tech, so I'm 100% confident that the machine is clean)

What's the next best step? I mean, I don't mind running the XP Partition, but most of my stuff is in Windows 7 and it's kind of clunky to do both. Any suggestions about how I could go about uncovering the cause of this very strange issue?

Hey, Vexxus, you were in the SG the same time I was. As a matter of fact, I believe that your office is right next to mine in the base.

I'm starting a Axe/Dark Toon myself, so this thread could be quite helpful to me as well. Here's hoping some good info comes through.

Thanks Wiccania. I discovered after taking a re-look at the build that I'd completely forgotten about the Aegis set. This build is better, I think. Check it out!

I tried at this for quite a while, but there just doesn't appear to be enough slots to swing it. Again, I'm not TERRIBLY good with this sort of thing, so any help would be appreciated. Here's a sloppy, quick shot at a Positional cap build.

Couldn't put slots in Health at all, and I feel like I skimped a bit on other important stuff, but I don't know.

EDIT: I JUST noticed if I moved a slot from Channelgun I would still be softcapped at range, and I could move it to health, put the Miracle and Numina Unique's in there, and use the other Miracle in Serum to get the AoE Def bonus. So. Yeah. Carry on!

Hm. So what would you build for? Positionals? Smashing/lethal?

Is this even possible? Aside from all the "Why would you skip pets?" and "Blappers suck!" That This thread may accrue, I would like to know if anyone out there has tried this and how successful it was.

Standing in PI!

Or rather, THIS one...

I've been struggling for two days to come up with a name for this character.

Dark/Willpower Brute, Prohibition-Era/Pulp Comic style.

Heroic but in a violent sort of way, ala Batman sans bats.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I'm on Victory Server. I've tried tons of names, but I'm drawing the King of Blanks!

Bump.

No new news yet. I went into the HotEDH Base today and there is currently no power to any of the equipment, etc. I don't know if that means something changed inside or the rent is overdue. Either or, I'm going to keep posting, hoping someone will see this and provide me with some information.

UPDATE:

I attempted to inquire to the CoH Support team, in a VERY long shot, if they could provide me with the global handle of the current Super Leader. Their suggestion was try and run into a player from the SG. So, the search continues!

Thank you for the knd words. Now, If only I could find the guy who pays base rent every month...

That was me, In fact. I did not close the group, I merely left. It was less than a year ago, I think, and about 6 or 7 months ago I ran into their then leader and formed a coalition. I have since forgotten the name.

I was In tbeir base last night, and Its still up and running. Somebody pays the rent. I just have to find out who. If I can do that, I can get Warseige back In the group, and from their, I can start getting the rest of my alts in.

Years ago, when I first joined the game, I joined up with a Super Group called 'The Home of the Every Day Hero'. We weren't anything special, far from it. As a matter of fact, we were pretty average. There were only three of us who were very active.

Myself (Known then under the name/global name 'Warseige"), FerricGuy, and the SG leader, "Pyro Kinesis" (alias SOB Ronald, alias @Unknown User).

Eventually, they both left, and the HotEDH came under my leadership. Membership was almost nonexistent and I decided I wanted to step out and blaze my own path with a new Supergroup, "The Gangbusters". I coalitioned the HotEDH through some luck, but leaving took me on a long, long trip away from the place I always called 'Home'.

I've always been told that you can't go home again. And, as I stand now in their base by my old desk (Earmarked with a large, golden 'W') I wonder if that's true. I hope not, because I want to go home. I want to reclaim the legacy that FerricGuy, Pyro, and Myself created with the core values we lived by.

Loyalty, Honor, Friendship, Freedom, and Fun.

Now, from what I can gather, the membership is almost Zero. Somebody out there has to be the SL in that group, and I hope to find them. I don't want to take over the group. Far from it. I just want to reclaim my place as a member. To maybe help it climb back onto it's feet.

If you know anyone from this group, or know who I could get in contact with, please reply. It's very important to me that I am able to return, and to maybe help the HotEDH become a group again.

I just want to go home.

I know a little about binds and macros, but it's a very rudimentary knowledge at that. I have a character concept I'm working on, and the bio I would have to write to explain it would be MASSIVE. I'm talking, very massive.

You see, the concept of the character is that all 5 costume slots are different selves of the same person, spread across multiple dimensions.

Slot 1 is from Primal Earth, Slot 2 from a dimension where Nemesis has taken over, etc, etc...

My question is, would there be any way to set up a series of binds utilizing bind load files and whatnot, whatever would be required, that could make it so every time you hit a key, for example the '1' key, it would switch to the first costume slot (Utilizing /bind 1 "cce 0 CCDimensionShift, etc.) as well as rewrites the bio for that costume? That way, each time I switched attires, it would apply the bio for the self from THAT universe, painting a complete picture of the character.

I know it's probably not possible, but if it is, I'm not going to be the one to figure it out. It'll be somebody MUCH more experienced with binds and macros than me. Here's hoping! Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if anyone had seen a decent build geared towards blapping. Possibly with pets, possibly without. I'm not terribly sure what route I want to go with my Crab, but I'm definitely keen on the thought of picking up Slice, Frenzy, and Arm lash.

Has anyone played or seen a build like this around? It'll help me finally decide the direction I'm going with my Crab, who's been languishing at 38 for months.

Perhaps animations for Energy melee where, instead of the pom poms, you get a streak of light like the ones the Praetorian Police show in one of the ViDocs, can't remember which ones. It give it a really cool feeling. Have them explode or dissipate on impact, so your hands aren't CONSTANTLY glowing.
