Quote:I had a stone/something (don't remember now) WAY back, around i4, on a trial account, and I didn't take Taunt originally, but people kept saying, "Gotta get Taunt", "You need Taunt". I didn't, they did. Never had any use for it soloing, as I often did, and, since I almost never fight above even level mobs, for me, it was unecessary, unless I was in a team. Immersion? Nope, never felt immeresed, don't care about it, so no problem there. lolTaunt.
When I first got it...it was very cool...being able to control the agro like that...keeping all the enemies attention.
Then, after many missions, arcs, TFs, etc...it became the single most boring power.
I still use it...as it is still extremely useful (mechanically)...but I absolutely hate it. It's such a ridiculous power...terribly immersion breaking...but unfortunately a necessary evil for those wanting to tank. -
Quote:I got NeoSplasher, because I just couldn't get CohSplasher to work at all. NeoSplasher only seems to work for the login screen, not the character screens, but that's ok. I never really minded any of the login/character screens, but I'd like the option to switch, because some of the older ones were rather good.if you have windows head to the top of the page and click my link to the program there. click file then open pick a image then click save. if you are on osx find the link by thirty seven to my website browse pock a image then follow the instructions on the help link. currently not home so i cant give direct linka.

I'd like to be able to right click on the badge list(actual badge list, not the menu at the top), and be able to sort by alphabetical order(just A-Z will be fine), aquisition area, and current area. These would show what badges you have in that area, those also being able to be listed in A-Z order It'd be good, I think, if the badges that required more than one location to visit, and well as kill/craft/defeat/ect # of X names in the list were grey when they're first started(0-25%), then turning red from 25-50%, 50-75%, they'd be yellow, and from 76%-completion, they'd be green, turning white when aquired. You'd still have the "Closest to Completion" screen, but if you have the badge list up, it'd give you a general idea of how close you are at a glance.

What about buckled leather with "cutouts"? Where the underlying part would be bare skin, similar to the "holes" texture on tights.

Quote:I never sign up for newsletters. lol When I do get emails from stores and sites where I've bought stuff, 99% of the time, it's something I clean out without even reading, because just from the title, I know I'm not interested. Haven't played in a year as well, and I'm not in the habit of checking up on games I'm not playing.Eh... I signed up for the newsletter, so knew about this back in Octover/November-ish. I also check the forums a few times a week. Then again, I'm also they guy who is mostly responsible for updating my SG's MotD so I guess not everybody does that.
Edit: They'll probably have them for sale in a year or so anyway, but I'm fairly certain I won't be getting them then either. Costumes/creating "looks", isn't something I care about a whole lot. I make my characters for me to think they look ok, not other pepole. -
Quote:Wasn't straight forward for me. Had NO idea(been unable to sub for quite some time, due to personal difficulties), and only found out about this today, when the ad appeared on the launcher. Be nice to have, but not something I'd get upset about. Hell, I don't even use auras on my characters, vet pets, or the prestige sprints. Not something I really care about, so my feeling is "Meh."People that fail at reading shouldn't be rewarded by Marketing, or anyone else, by dumbing down the message. If those folks don't get what they thought they were getting, it's not worth the Devs worrying about.
It's a straight forward announcement for 99% of the players, and that's good enough. -
Actually, I got a email today from them, and it turns out it was EVGAs Precision monitoring program(for video cards). I uninstalled it, and PRESTO!, able to get into my base. NO idea why it was causing that problem, but if anyone else is using it, and having similar trouble, try unistalling Precision.
-
LOL! No, that wont work, because Im not in a coalition. As said above, its a solo SG, and noone will coalition with one(not that I want to, mind you).

Quote:THINK I tried that already, but not sure. Will try it again.This has also worked for me for items that mysteriously stopped working. Swap out that bad combo unit with a new one, and I bet it will produce power & control again.
I have no idea if this will fix your freezing problem when loading the base, though.
Quote:BTW... the invalid string parameter in the item info window is a bug from i17.

Quote:I was having this issue about a week ago. Should be a given, But have you tried verifying all files and then a computer reset afterwords? That's what worked for me. Had an issue with my pigg files.Quote:Its been happening since I installed the new client, just today. Ive verified the files 3 times today(I went to get coffee usually lol). Ill try that again.
Forgot to /petition while on Infinity, and it happened again. lol Oh well.
Edit: Sent petition, waiting for a non-canned response. -
Already petitioned, and responded to their first email, which said to try Safe Mode. I cant change graphics settings from inside the base either. As soon as I click the Graphics tab, it freezes. Its like its a "Freeze game" button. Something, though I cant imagine what, is VERY wrong.
-
OOOOK. Graphics thing I guess. Safe Mode lets me in. Still, I dont want to have to log out, restart in Safe Mode every time I want to go to my base, especially when the game runs fine at very high graphics settings otherwise.
And yes, its a solo SG.
Edit: All the Power/Control items are showing up with "Invalid string parameter" under where it says "Category". Also, my combo Control/Power device is apparently not producing any, although my requirements dont exceed what its producing. /confuzzleated now
Heres a couple pics, of the Power and Control indicators.

Also, I think the price is wrong, Bob!
Re-Edit: The pics are of a base on Freedom, the one on Infinity, however, is showing power/control levels properly. -
I dont have CoH on any other machines, and the couple I do have available are laptops, so even in Safe Mode, theyd probably choke on it. lol I cant think of any reason itd be my pc, but Im gonna try a few things now, see what happens.

I have power. I know that because I only have about 2-3 teleporters, and I made VERY sure there was enough power for them. The only other things I have in there is a crafting table and a couple storage boxes. Think there were two for enhancements, and 1 or 2 for salvage, and thats it. I was never one to go into the big flashy base thing. Also, its not just one server, it seems to be all of them, and all characters as well. Ive tried different characters on the same server, on Freedom, and Triumph, and Champion, for example, and none of them work. Still no idea whats going on. About to log in, will /petition in-game.

Yes, upkeep is paid, I checked that first. It seems to be a graphics thing though, since when I click on the portal, the loading screen appears, then the bar moves about an inch, and the game freezes. I have to alt-tab out, and use Task Manager to do an End Process on cityofheroes.exe. Also, if I go to set FSAA in graphics settings, the same thing happens, the game freezes. I cant even move the slider to the first notch, it gets about 2/3 of the way to the first notch, and then it freezes. Not on a slouchy system either, I have a 2.53 GHz Intel processor, 4GB ram, and a factory overclocked 1 GB 460 GTX video card(that Ive had less than two weeks). Th FSAA I dont mind too much, but I MUST be able to get into my base. Anyone have any ideas why Im having trouble?
-
I had some trouble with a game before. I wasnt hacked, I had forgotten a password, and the email service Id been using had gone out of business, so I wouldnt be able to recieve a new password email. I had to give them my IP address, some account info, and just to be sure, I sent them some screenshots of me playing the character. I got it back in about a day. You could try saving screens(or saving the webpage) when you start an account, making sure you have the ones with the personal info, as well as the credit card info, and the confirmations of everything.

Thats not me by the way!
The thing I was wondering, is why did they drop the "special temp powers"(dont remember what they were called) that were available in D last yer? One (I THINK) was Nectar of something or other, and they were for the co-op mission. Be nice to have those back.
[/ QUOTE ]
The Nectar, Drop of Vitality, and Drop of somethingorother, were temp powers you bought for the Valentine's Snaptooth mission, not Winter Event.
Or at least I don't remember ever having them for the WInter event.
[/ QUOTE ]OOOOHHHHHH!Shows how much I really care about these events I guess. lol Thanks for pointing that out though.

i want really long underarm hair!
[/ QUOTE ]
Eww?
They dont want to/cant spend the time to alter player hair to make it like GW's, fine. I actually dont care if we get it or not, Im not that big on costumes(Warning: This poster is not a fashionista).
-
I just cant see it as "a development nightmare", since GW has it. The only thing I can think of is that it uses ALOT of bandwidth(though I doubt it), and if we have thousands of people running around with it, it'd require more from the servers than the devs can get/are willing to upgrade to. Of course, it could also fall into the "major hero/villain" category, something unique about their appearance.

2 words. Hax.
I dont know about that actually, I havent seen any, though I also wasnt looking for them, so....

opening presents that are around the zones gives candy canes, or little frostlings (100 for that badge)...the timer seems to be 3 minutes unless they aren't cleared and need to despawn on their own, then it's like 6 minutes. Teams of 5 or more can spawn a Winterlord giant monster from the presents. A watched present spot will never respawn a present...so if the Winterlord runs from the area...make sure someone stays at the present point to keep it from respawning and thus despawning the Winterlord. This is all observation of last years event. If timers and such have changed, we'll find out very soon. As I recall the frostlings drop tech enhancements and arcane salvage if you are hunting them experience as you work on Toy Collector (badge for opening 200 presents)...all info gathered while I was being OCD and getting Tot Collector on 42 of my alts...
[/ QUOTE ]Was that changed to what you say in your post, because I clearly remember getting a Winter Lord from a present while solo. Dont recall if it was last year or, before(on trial), but I definitely wasnt in a team, and(lol) it was definitely Winter Lord. -
Royal Overbrook has nice music.
Copper District is a "must have" for me.
