  2. @Fire_Minded: Yuck. You must be the most arrogant person ever. Just... yuck.

    On topic: Oh gosh, there's many sets I won't play. Let's see...

    Assault Rifle: I don't like the visuals, guns or anything from it for that matter. Just blergh.

    Dual Blades: I don't like the combos or the animations.

    Dual Pistols: While I like the animations, the whole gun thing isn't for me (see AR).

    Earth Control/Assault: Feels slow and clunky.

    Ninjitsu: Concept does not interest me in the least.

    Sonic Attack/Resonance: I can't quite put my finger on why but it just feels "off" for me.

    Stone Armor: The visuals (apart from Granite) can be nice with power customization now but the whole concept of Granite irks me. Not to mention the debuffs that come with it.

    Traps: Bores me to tears. Ugly visuals.

    Broadsword/Battle Axe/War Mace: Clunky animations. Feel too slow for my taste.

    I'm sure there's a few more sets that I can't recall off the top of my head right now but these listed are the biggest "offenders" to me. I'm mostly about visuals and feel, numbers don't really bother me (I have SEVERAL 50s with Dark Blast) that much.

    Edit: I forgot to add the WORST offender of them all:

    Blaster Psychic Blast: The way this set was butchered and crippled for Blasters makes me sad. Psychic Blast is one of my favorite sets on Defenders. I hope it will one day (UNBUTCHERED!) find it's way to Corruptors.
  3. I was tempted to chime in but Father Xmas took the words right out of my mouth. I've actually had a fight about this very same topic with someone in-game claiming the nVidia PhysX drivers are needed for it to work, etc. Would not listen to reason when I explained that CoH uses it's own (old) PhysX software.
  4. My god. People get more and more ridiculous each day. I personally love it when someone cares enough to buff me when I am fighting mobs. So a big thanks to all my feature drive-by buffers, I lufs ya!

    Edit: How awesome is that, the first post after War Witch herself.

    *snorts* Scrapulous, CoH belongs to NCSoft now.

    The friends you can make in game.

    The people you can team with.

    That I can PM Castle and say, "Hey, what about...?"

    Or request a costume piece from Jay.

    Everyone on the forums.

    It's the people.
    This. So very very very much!

    The COLORS were changed because the default gray was too light and it was hard to tell who was buffed and who wasn't, or where to stand for the bubble, and which people had Disruption on them.
    I actually seem to recall the barely visible hyper-active graphics of the set to be causing sickness, not (just?) the sound.

  14. Taking a screenshot in the costume editor has never worked for me. Are you absolutely sure it ever worked that way for you?

    It's sad to see just how bad support can be at times

  17. Facemakin' gone wrong! Doesn't that just make you feel at ease, having them sculpt your face for you?

  18. BaBs, if nothing else, would it be possible to slip in a "No FX" option for Indomitable Will on Widows? I personally find it hideous and completely ruins the look.

    Windows 7!

    I've been running CoH on Windows 7 for quite some time (Beta, RC, Final) and it's been just peachy

    Going to agree with you there. When I was in the i14 Closed Beta I really saw with my own eyes how much more focused it is (even though the devs may not always listen to everything we say in it), once it went Open it was just a big pile of chaos. No offense to anyone, just sharing my views

    I can get to the server screen, but selecting the Training Room times out and gives a "Lost connection to DBserver" error, kicking you back to log in.

    Though it shows Test as being up and available in the server select window.
    It sometimes does that with the live servers when they are coming up. I'd hope they built in a new message for closed beta access like... Sorry, not allowed into this beta, goodbye! Instead of letting us believe we cannot access due to some server issue.

    I do not know tons about publishing and maintaining game servers for a huge game like this. I would however be astounded if each server was A machine. Each server must be a massive series of machines as is, but maybe I am wrong.
    You are correct, a "server" is not a single machine, it's usually a cluster of machines/databases.

    They sure are getting my tears, disappointed I won't be able to check out power customization. But that's how life is, oh well
