If it's a home internet connection through an actual physical cable, as opposed to some sort of 3G wireless data, then yeah, I think you'll be fine.
My french is really rusty so I can't really make heads or tails out of their webpage. -
From what I can gather Neuf WiFi is a cellular data network? They're probably (very likely actually) blocking all non standard ports (aka, anything that isn't web pages/e-mail) to lessen the load on their service.
If so, you're pretty much out of luck.
EDIT: Even if it's a standard collection of 802.11g or whatever hotspots, they're probably doing some port blocking. -
You are correct. Debt started at level 5 back in the day. Darn hazy memory.
They also reduced debt across the board by 20% in I11, on top of the 1/2 debt inside a door mission change.
Debt is nothing. -

I recall it used to kick in much earlier, and the cap for accumulated debt was higher... I remember on occasion there was heck to pay for causing people to earn debt. Now, with xp smoothing an a plethora of ways to reduce it... xp debt is just an epic badge.
Back in my day sonny we didn't HAVE patrol experience! Debt happened at level 1 and we liked it! We were real men, dealing with having more than twice the debt you younguns have now per death. And we walked 10 miles up hill both ways from the hospital too.
Kids these days with your reverse side kicking, respecs and your capes...bah. -
Yeah, just clarifying that you don't technically lose XP when you die. You gain debt.
While you have XP debt (you can tell by the dark purpleish bar in your XP bar) half of your earned XP goes towards paying the debt.
There's also the patrol experience (http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Patrol_Experience) to factor in. As your characters are logged out you get patrol XP which causes you to earn 1.5 x normal xp earned for a certain amount of XP. This increases at a fixed rate, for up to 10 bulbs of patrol xp. If you have patrol XP built up when you die, it will be subtracted from that and you won't get any debt. If you have debt and log off, your debt will be reduced at the same rate as you earn patrol XP until your debt is gone (at which point you'll go back to earning patrol XP normally) -
You're probably going to want to look into a video card update. I have an X1600 and it's probably the lowest end card I'd consider running CoH on. An X1300 is not going to give you a great play experience at this point in time.

Yep. That's why I said "potentially possible" with the name thing. It could happen, but we dunno if they're still doing it regularly or not.

Wassy's got exclusive rights to all likenesses of Frost (And I wouldn't have it any other way)
Other characters are negotiable, however... Anyway, stopping the hijacking now. I shall PM you when I get home Swanzy. -
If they are old enough with a low enough level, it's potentially possible that some of their names have been released back to the pool. If somebody else grabbed one of these names you'll be forced to rename the character.
But that's the only hiccup. -

OK, false alarm...... But I'm watching!
Phew!
Don't worry. You're the only artist who's allowed to touch the various incarnations of Frost. Woe shall befall any who dare try. -
I have a flying (wing-ed if that makes a difference) ice blaster on Freedom that might fit the bill (and would also take care of the hot chick requirement too). I'll see about tossing you some references when I return home this evening to get her in the running...

Quote:Actually, it is the real indomitable will.Originally Posted by Heraclea
I considered that. But this isn't real Indomitable Will, is it? Just some kind of cruel sham that's a click power with a long recharge, not a toggle?
Right now, it looks like the character is going to need all the endurance help she can get.
The willpower version came after
But yes, it's not a toggle, based off of, I suspect, Practiced Brawler from the Super Reflexes set. -

(grav' troller) ... lols, wasn't me! It must of been some trick arrow shenanigans by the blaster...ya ya that's it!
I shake my fist in your general direction *shakes fist* -
I've had it happen before many times over the years. If it's a bug, it's a very old bug.

Wait...there was an Ice Slick somewhere in that pile o' doom? hehe...yup, fun times indeed!

I'd say it's more useful than that, especially, as someone pointed out upthread, after the mez-BF-AA recharging sequence. I find myself using the PBAoE holds pretty often on all my 40+ trollers, though that may be because they either have lots of recharge and/or a second EMPulse/Arrow.
I use glacier all the time on my Ice control characters. -
We don't know anything about the Going Rogue Beta. Other than that there will be one.
Pure speculation dictates that there will probably be a OS X beta test before it's released. -
Rocked is a good description of it. When we switched off to Hero we were going with a team of 4 controllers and 1 blaster. It was...beautiful.

Quote:Sounds like it's similar to the Jack/Eochai spawn in Croatoa in that there's an event that's on a timer (In croatoa's case it's the war in the valley) that eventually causes the GM to spawn. And player interaction can help the spawn along/hinder it's progress.Originally Posted by NordBlast
I believe, you can prevent or at least delay his spawning. See my responses to other quotes.
But it's still just an event on a timer and there's no way to trigger it directly. -
Wassy gave me a summary on the background story for this character when she showed me the piece earlier. Pure win and awesome.
This captures her perfectly, I'd say. -
Quote:Bingo. Part of my reason (aside from the more interesting costume parts for females bit) is that if I have to stare at something, it might as well be an attractive something.Originally Posted by Caemgen
If the butt staring and sexy walk were the only reason they were playing the game... Well, there's much better websites for that kind of viewing
I think the butt staring argument only applied for all that time between missions, running from one to the other, etc.. Most of the time, while in actual combat, I assume they're not still but staring... And if they are, they really should check out those websites I mentioned - they'd probably be more effective for 'em
It's not like it's my entire reason for playing the game or anything. -
It does make the pet power itself recharge faster....
So if your jack is dying a lot it might be worth it. I usually don't bother. -
