Hy-Beams

Head over to the Rogue Isles either via the sub in Independence Port or going through Pocket D and run Paper Missions or join teams there. You will gather tips that will give you a villain option. Do enough of those and you will get a Morality Mission. Finish that and and a villain you shall become.

FYI I am hearing that the current ATI driver that fixes CoH doesn't work with the new game Rage...

I got my Tokens today (one for the month and my yearly bonus) but no points yet so we can get tokens before the 11th.

I played for hours last night and no problem. I saw an extremely brief Not Responding message for just a second (that was what it would do when it crashed before the new driver) but otherwise it was fine. Seem like the problem may be solved for real

Exalted seems to be like every other server I have played on. The only difference I have seen is I have gotten names on that server that haven't been available on any of the others in years.

I don't know if it is related but I just got two tips from one kill on my stalker.

Now that you can start any AT on any side, the novelty of being, say an Ill/Rad controller in the Isles or /nin stalker in Paragon City is pretty thin. I think to make them more attractive, they should create mission content that is exclusive to those alignments and maybe beef up the powers they get as well (although the vigilante power is pretty good).

I also saw two salvage drop from one kill. It was a CoT minion. In fact, it seems that salvage seems to drop more period.

There seem to be a bunch of new powers available both in the market and as veteran rewards (e.g Windfall). Is there a place to see what exactly it is that they do?

Similarly is there a way to see costume pieces in the market or do you have to be in the character creator to see them? Thanks.

A couple of things with the in character map I have noticed since issue 21:

1. I like to disconnect my map from the Nav window and place it on the left side of the screen. It is supposed to stay there for the next time when i log in but on my characters it will often reset and I have to do it again and again.

2. I have noticed on new characters I have created since i21, the Notoriety Contact icon is not selected by default and thus doesn't show on the map. I have to select it on each one, so far.

3. I logged into an older character for the first time since i21 and when I opened his map, none of the icons were selected so the map had no landmarks at all until I turned them all back on.

Since there are 7 arcs total I was thinking each one would be 5 levels higher. Next arc would be 25 then 30 etc. up to 50. But then again maybe they will keep them lower then that to maximize the amount of characters that can play them.

I wanted to add that while for a while 11.7 allowed me to play the game again, the last few days I have been having major crashes. My entire PC actually locks up forcing a restart. I also find my fan has to run much more with CoH than other games (I am playing Dues Ex right now as well. It has much more elaborate graphics but my AMD 5780 card works less than it does for CoH and to date never has crashed after hours of play.

I have been playing for a couple of years now but just started messing with IO sets on my 50s. Here is a question I am unsure about:

Let's say there is a set with a max level of 40 but it has set bonuses I want. Can I create those enhancements and use them on my 50 or would I have had to do it back when I was level 40?

Thanks.

Since this seems to have turn into animations for travel powers, mine is very simple: I want to use the Hover animation with the Fly power (i.e. Flying but vertical not horizontal).

Followup: I have played several times on 11.7 for a couple of hours each time and my issues appear to have been resolved. I did freeze up once when exiting a mission but I believe that is an issue many others have reported recently and not related to my driver. Also I have had a bit of sluggishness at times and yesterday when I was in Atlas during a Costume Contest (the zone was loaded with people), I found my character couldn't move right away when it went through a door (which made doing the Talk to the Rikti Mission during the Moonlighter arc a little annoying) but again not sure of that is driver related.

The constant freezing and lockups and crashes I was getting seem to have been fixed for me.

Here is my report so far:

I installed 11.7 and I can report that my constant freezing seems to have been fixed. Will need to play longer to see if crashing happens still but progress!

Woo Hoo! I shall be installing then as soon as I can. Couldn't play the game for weeks now.

Because of this thread, I decided to launch my Beta install for the hell of it. I got errors when I tried to update it and then when I opened it is asked to do a repair and now I have to redownload all 3 gigs worth of it again...not sure what happened.

Given that CoH Freedom is sort of a relaunch of the game and will come out in the fall, will the game's Anniversaries still be celebrated in April or will the date Freedom comes out (whenever that is) become the new date? Just something dumb that occurred to me...
