Gaspard

Well, ****.

I will have to see later today and open up the rig to see for any obscurities.
I have been living it low lately, so I have funds for new gfx card, but nevertheless, this sucks some big ones.

Thanks for the advices anyway, I will try them later today and hope for the best.

'Allo.

I recall someone making a thread about this "glitch", but I can't find it anymore.

I was in RWZ attacking the dummies and doing some recharge time tests on my SOA when this occurred.



I haven't had crashes or problems lately, I used to ,but deleting and installing the newset nvidia drivers solved all the crashes. This is the very first time time this is happening. I played some Far Cry 2 after this and had no problems, I also speed-ran the villain respec with few of my mates and had no technical problems.

Just to be on the safe side, can somebody tell me what the ****?

Yo yo.

You can find some by right clicking in the chat tab and choosing "channel search" or just right click the tab and press "e".
Just type in there what you wish to find.

As for Tf/Sf, I recommend joining "Freedom TF" or "Freedom TFs" channel.
People usually announce there when they are forming something.

Edit:
"Freedom TFs" is full, but "Freedom TF" should still have room.

AE didn't ruin the game, but it also didn't give me access to the "unlimited quality content" either.
The content is unlimited, but most of the time the actual story arcs don't make a ******* sense, are full of tedious mobs that look like crap or alternatively are full of "defeat all" missions.

I still find myself favoring the original content over AE.

On a side note, has the crashing started recently, does it take you back to desktop with Cryptic feedback window?

Just out of curiosity since this has been happening on my mates recently (all of them sporting Nvidia) and on me aswell, but I managed to just sort it out by deleting Nvidia drivers entirely and downloading again, just have to get the right version.

I will try to answer the 2. question.

Mids should show the correct suppressed number.

Got Cloacking Device slotted with all the Red Fortune IOs (excluding the endurance and end/rech), the power also has the LOTG proc slotted into it.
Mids shows me 6% def when suppressed and that is what the in-game stats show me aswell.

I have noticed that older mids versions show wrong numbers sometimes because the set bonuses are wrong (mainly because they have been changed a little bit), Enfeebled Operation used to be in that category.

But yeah that should clear up the 2nd question. If I am totally mistaken, someone will surely correct me.

Yeah, I used to think this SF is **** , which I still partly do.

But one can do ITF, LGTF, LRSF so many times till it starts to taste like wood.

Done this SF once on test and few times on live servers, just hoping the merit changes go into the live build ASAP so there is a valid reason to run this SF more often.

The plot may be stupid, but fighting 5th Column is something "fresh" compared to waves of Cimerorans and Rikti.

Like the new boards?
No.

The search is **** and as far as I know there's no "show all posts" function for threads, which makes quick read-through a hassle.

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot, now the forum is full of CoH Eu players.

We got more capes and hoods with magic pack, eventhough we already had those. Although the new ones look different, they are still hoods and capes.

We got more technology costume parts with cyborg (tech) pack, eventhough we already had those, too.

We got more goggles ,respirators and scientist jackets, which we already had.


That's why I would assume and hope that natural booster would have more convincing looking "survival gear". Like the PPD vests, holsters, ballistic helmets with goggles etc.

Also if I rememeber right, hero side most of the natural contacts were some sort of agents or something like that.

No bug involved, that's just how spawn placement works.

Yeah welcome...

I'm hoping the staff is a little bit more aware this time around, don't want this "new" forum end up like the previous official EU forums.

Just wanted to say that Protagonist/Gaspard is still cool, just that you know.

I share majority of the SF gripes JJ and others have brought up, but I also wish to know when will we see some truly villainous Strike Forces, along with LRSF?

The BSF starts up well, but gets horribly down-hill during 2nd mission.

But I guess I'm the minority thinking that CoV is stuck too much on the Bad Guys VS. Bad Guys mode.

By searching with my yank global I found 3 hits.
2 posts by a guy talking bout my released AE arc.
3rd one is my "I'm leaving to yank servers"-post.

Lol

I don't like change.

Me neither, especially since I have experienced both forums.

The feelings I have are bit close to a scenario where you move to slightlty better neighborhood away from troublesome neighbors only to find out they are about to do the same exact thing the following month.

That's not good at all.
That's one of the reasons I switched to this side of the lake and forums, [censored] it. I hope the moderators are ready.

True the people at EU have been without dev interaction for a long time and things have been a total mess there, now we will get some of that mess here.
Now we get to share...

Edit:
While this could be a good thing, I can't help but to feel annoyed by this whole ordeal, as a person who spent 3 years posting on those forums.

I don't dislike playing a bane, but to be quite fair, I suggest you try it yourself, I don't know what you consider to be "bad."

Angry_Citizen said it pretty well, you need to take third pools in order to beef your defense at the cost of endurance. You also need alot of IO sets.
But after you have achieved the soft-cap, it is not going to keep you safe, you will eventually get hit, pretty hard too depending on the difficulty and scenario. Your own powers cannot fully change this situation.
When the HP is blinking red for a reason or another, you got nothing to help through the situation, other than skittles.

But yeah, like said, banes are not down-right broken, but there is room for improvement.

I think this thread is pretty much done. Unless the OP wants to rename it "How Da Captain is always right, and everyone else is wrong". It's stopped being a constructive discussion. I've posted my ideas for buffs that I think would improve the branch, and I'm done with the bickering. Peace be with you, and good luck!

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed with you there mate, that is not inaccurate.
Oh the summer madness.

OdiousClan (and also Angry_Citizen) nailed the problems with banes up there. Well done.

[ QUOTE ]

Ok if you are solo then you don't need to worry about big groups as size of the mobs is scaled to the amount of people in the team. On a team if I have to do all the work then that is just another story.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah like you have never got swarmed when solo. I mean that NEVER happens.
And yeah I guessed it, "It's another story".

L2P.

I actually knew to expect the "learn to play"-card and you sure didn't disappoint there, too. How can I argue against that, oh no.

Yeah I know I can't play when EB in AE hits me for 1,8k damage and 1k ranged (AE). Or when EB demolishes the pets in few hits, oh believe me I have seen it happen on (vague term) "better players" than me, but I guess they need to "l2p", too. Oh dear.
Everyone of these people who bring up possible holes in bane game, needs to learn to play?

Vast majority the Eb's are breeze for me in the actual game, but there are really annoying ones too and even the annoying ones come with mobs.
I'd hate to rely on the Disruptor pets, because they don't withstand anything if they are targetted.

Not to mention -def is really common.

But hey, I guess I just need to learn to play, because that means everything is just working as intended. But you will surely accept any buff that would come to banes at the same time? Even an actual self heal or panic power of some sort? Of course.

And doms are doms, they got more holds than 1, not to mention there are AOEs mixed in. I really don't want to discuss Dom and Bane relevance on VEAT forum.

You can theorize this all you want.
But I wont turn this thread into "Me, you, me, you and I do it THIS way!" tug of war anymore than I have to.
But if you want to discuss this then I suggest you send me a PM here or contact me at @Gaspard in game.

If I recall it's the same mag as petrifying gaze, so it's going to hold a LT and boss with 2 hits.

Yeah one foe is not going to do damage to bane when held, but his friends will rip the bane apart. The rest are still functional and active.

I doubt bane is going to die against one lieautenant or boss, it's the bigger groups and elite bosses that will push your defence down and rip you a new one.
Just imagine getting swarmed in SF, web is not going to save you.
If you're in 1 vs 1 web may work, but imagine bigger groups and elite bosse, and you will bump into them, but I guess I won't be needing defence then?

Besides, doms got a damn inherent power that helps with holds, banes don't. Not to mention Doms are Doms.

To me the web hold looks like it was just thrown in there, because they were either out of ideas or were afraid that banes would be too superb, but that is just me. Personally I would have put there a "MoG", self heal or Aoe -tohit like smoke grenade.

And crabs can blap too, just happens they got a panic power.

Edit:
Also I was going to say something about banes not being designed to meelee, but I don't feel like getting into that damn argument. I'd rather discuss it in game over a team or PM here at forums.
