  1. It's the drivers I'm running VIsta x64 and DVI connection I installed other drivers that someone was using with the same card they had problems with the drivers but could play so I figured why not use those at least I can get into the game the latest drivers give me the black screen 190.62 now but i get opengl crashes and the game stops responding. But I can at least play the game. Now I would like to try to find some stable drivers and don't really want to install everyone and test until I get it right I was hoping for someone to suggest some that they use with the gtx 295

    resolution is 16080x1050
  2. I searched the forums and haven't seen anything so I'm asking on here. I have gtx 295 and installed it with the cd drivers and ran COH and got the black screen I tried to dl and install the newest drivers on the nvidia website and the screen went black during install and never finished installing (waited 20 mins) Is there a known driver version that works good with this game and this card?
  3. Crap that rules us out then neither of us are part of the midnighters club. Haven't played this toons in so long. I'm working on it now I guess I'll try to get in for the 2nd TF then
  4. Evil Giambino and Total Slaughter.... where is the first SF I didnt notice it before is that the guy in Chimera or however its spelt
  5. I told my bro about it he wants in too if you still have room
  6. I'd love to but I can't guarantee anything at the moment coh has been crashing on me all week. I just did a clean install of Vista and went to some older drivers IF everything works out fine I'll be there EM/Nij Stalker Evil Giambino or I can bring a Brute or Dom if need be all in the 40s or 40 exactly

    I played for about 3 hours last night no crashes so I'm thinking I'm good to go

    hmmm, ok, so what's the real strength of /nin then because with no resistances and what seems to be a lack of utility, I guess I'm not seeing it. Maybe I should have gone with /elec or /WP?

    I wouldn't recommend a resistance based set for a Stalker. I've tried and it's just less effective than a defense based set. /Nin is probably the best secondary for a Stalker, you get solid defense to melee, ranged, and AOE and with IO slotting can be soft-capped. /WP is OK but for PVE /Nin is a better set.

    I won't argue with you about the fighting pool but NONE of my Stalkers use it and few here on the boards will recommend it. If you are used to playing a Scrapper, keep in mind a Stalker is not the same thing. Defense based sets are good for Stalkers because you git hit less often which means you can get AS off more often without being interrupted.

    If you enjoyed your Scrapper, based on what you are saying here, you might try a Brute instead of a Stalker.

    I agree with kinesia also if ur taking leviathan I would take water spout and spirit shark jaws, and maybe spirit shark itself for another attack. I didn't take a Patron yet gonna try it on test I might got Leviathan or Soul not sure., but you don't really need Hibernate either and with Nin you def don't need tough weave. you may wanna take medicine as a second heal just in case. I didn't take smoke flash or blinding powder. Just my opinion to each his own
  9. Thanks for the help guys I forgot I'm EM/Nin and I have 2 heals (took Medicine) and I have Retsu as my Oh S*** power I just can't decide lol but Leviathian does sound interesting I loved Ice Patch on my Dom just don't think I was Hibernate but I guess I can do the Water Spout, Spirit Shark Jaws and Smoke flash from Nin or take Spirit Shark. I'm really thinking about taking both in 2 builds but I don't even have the cash for this toons enhacements (I was in Sg mode before the black market and never played with this toon since.) But I guess over time I can slot up both builds or maybe do test


    I forgot to mention how is Shadow Meld? I was all set to take Leviathian and then remembered that shadow meld sounds really good and I hear with enhancements I can get the recharge down to 30 seconds. Enough for even more +defense though it doesn't last too long
  10. I've narrowed it down to 2 Levianthan and Soul. I'm trying not to respec but I guess I could do 2 seperate builds and take both. My thinking for Soul is Moonbeam nice damage if I put some Interrrupts in there I can use it in battle. Shadow Meld and Soul Storm are pretty obvious.

    As for Leviathian I was thinking Water Spout (it sounds like Ice Patch but with Disorient and Fear) which sounds nice. After running into a battle and taking some guys out. Spirit Shark Jaws should be good and Hibnerate should be okay but I don't think I need it too much just as an oh crap move. What do you guys think? Is there a Patron most Stalkers take?
  11. I need to do all the SF's with about 3-4 Villains. I have all the time in the word (except when I'm trying to fix my BSOD) if you need a stalker/brute/corr/dom I'm ur guy just get me in game @giambino
  12. Thanks guys I think I'm going with Rad/Dark at first I wanted Rad/Rad but once I thought about it I start to love the idea of Rad/Dark and you guys sold me on it. Thanks again
  13. Why? its how I feel lol I'm sure I'll take heat for it but I guess it's because I've never actually tried one before
  14. I already have a Kin troller so for my defender I want to try Rad my only problem is I don't know what secondary to take I pretty much narrowed it down to Dark or Rad not sure which one. Would -def for Rad/Rad really stack up is it worth it? Or is Rad primary a great debuff where I can throw in Dark for the -Tohit. Also I read Rad/Sonic is great but I don't think my ears can take the screeching sound plus I think it looks and sounds weird lol. Thanks for your suggestions
  15. ok heres a stupid question but how do i rotate the camera in fron of my character ( to see my face ) i can only rotate the sided and up and down but they don't allow me to view my toon from the front im having a little trouble understanding camera postion right now :-P
