  1. Same here. I blame Khorak; tsk tsk.

    SoA weapons.

    Aye, it's a known issue. I recall someone asking the same question on this forum a few days back. Hopefully they're working on it.

    Unusual Lag?

    Update: Just sent a petition and the only reply I get is to use the /sync command. *sigh* as if I don't know this already..

    Unusual Lag?

    My average FPS rate with the 'show_fps 1' command comes up at average around 65ish, which isn't really that bad tbh. It's just really odd how this is happening all of a sudden.

    Framerate has nothing to do with lag and 65FPS -is- actually a good thing.

    What you should be trying to find is your ping, using at least the /netgraph x command (where x is 1 to show and 0 to hide).

    Point taken, have tried that command and it pops up as 165 (on average). asked a few SG buddies and theirs seems to be around the same as mine and none of them are rubber-banding etc whatsoever.

    Unusual Lag?

    Right, it's been a few days now since I've started experiencing extreme cases of lag. Powers are showing up a lot earlier than they should be which gets frustrating. In the beginning of this week I've been able to dual-client mine and a friend's accounts with ease. But now I'm having trouble just running 1 client on the 'Performance' setting.

    My average FPS rate with the 'show_fps 1' command comes up at average around 65ish, which isn't really that bad tbh. It's just really odd how this is happening all of a sudden. Well anyways, if anyone can let me know if they've experienced lag lately just so it calms my nerves for the meantime I'd be more than happy.

    Any comments / feedbacks are welcome. Thanks for reading =/

    I would seriously say that you should consider getting Super Jump instead of SS. You'll regret Super-Speeding when you get to Grandville. I would also say that you drop Spore Burst because it's a silly power. Sure it puts them to sleep but you'll have Seeds of Confusion up pretty quickly. But hey, it's your call.

    Just let me know what you think

    80.4mb Download?

    Weird, just logged on now. Works fine
  8. Same as title. Just wondering if these work the same way as Training, DO and SOs. For example, I buy a lv20 one, slot it in; jump to level 50.
  9. I don't see why people should be talking on the registration thread.., but oh well.

    KS + others, could you guys please make a new thread stating the match timings and include the draws (ohh and also lock the thread!) so that it'll be easier for everyone to view instead of jumping back a load of pages again. Thanks for your help so far.
  10. Noo! Not my Nin/Elec Stalker! /em painful cry
  11. The correct name is Teleport Foe. The power is pretty much never able to TP a boss unless it's a lower level than you are (I've only tried and seen it work on Grey-con mobs)

    You cannot buff it, I don't think there's another power able to run alongside it.

    My best advice for you is to lay the mines near a corner, attack the boss and run around the corner. This will cause the boss to follow you and because you'll be behind the corner it won't be able to attack you and will end up being hit by the mine first.

    X4: Evolution

    Bah, I was just asking..sheesh.

    I'd be fine with or without them tbh. Ohh and good luck to everyone participating, see you all there.
  13. IcyBlurr

    X4: Evolution

    Another thing which I don't think has been mentioned before is the use of accolades. Would those be allowed on BOTH weights? I mean I'd hate to see a lv21 with Portal Jockey, Atlas Medallion and what not.


    Ohh and I'm looking for a team for BOTH the lightweight and heavy weight matches. For lightweight I can pretty much roll up any class and level it to 21 in a day. For heavyweight i'd either be a controller or a scrapper.
  14. It's hard answering this question; it really goes down to what Archtype you're playing and *WHICH* PvP zone you're aiming at.

    But I'd say Leaping (mainly for Acrobatics) and Speed for both Hasten and Super Speed. Although some go for stealth and others go for leadership. Few tend to go for Teleport FoE mostly Stalkers.
  15. Was just browsing the web looking for Macroing topics when I stumbled upon this. Rather hilarious but uhh..so not true.
  16. IcyBlurr

    Romulus!

    Yeah, everything's a nemesis plot. Then again, another quote goes 'Not everything is a Nemesis plot'
  17. I think it's fine as it is to be honest.
  18. In my opinion I think it's a bad idea. The whole point of creating a character and selecting the powers is to stick with it. I know what you mean, it might make things easier for many people but Power Selection outta be done carefully.

    I guess, whichever way you look at it people will have a different view. However, this MIGHT be a good idea for all those first-timers that chose powers based on the names / looks etc.
  19. Well, not sure if this was mentioned before but whilst spending some time Soloing on CoV I've noticed that the char's reputation names are the same as on CoH. I'm pretty sure it was not like this before. Uhh, yeah; I took a screenshot to clarify what I'm trying to say Here

    Right, the screenshot shows what my character's rep is. It says 'Unyielding' but on my mission list it comes up as Ruthless. If this has mentioned before, could a Mod please delete it; thanks.
  20. Weird, I've dropped a few annoying ones. Just 'call' the radio and there should be an option to drop the mission as usual.
  21. I've petitioned three times and each time a GM has either messaged me back / fixed it within 5-10 mins.

    Quickest response was while I was doing the Imperious TF. Got an insanely speedy response, guy fixed it within 2 mins.

    The EM nurf

    PvP is there so people can 'pwn' right?
    I don't get why people make the 'best class / archtype' for pvp. If one's truly willing to show their skill why not 'pwn' with a different archtype? I just don't understand.

    Un-related but a classic example would be CS; where it would be a lot more humiliating to get knifed rather than simply shot.

    Back to the topic, I'm thankful to the EM nerf and I hope more will follow.

    Claws for Brutes

    Since we're all talking about weapons. I'd like to see a more advanced 'customisation' to weapons other than just a primary and an alt colour.

    Heck, we could give them a design? A glow? Change size perhaps? These are just ideas, I'm just jotting things from my head right now.

    But I'd like to do something other than the usual "hmm...should I get a red bow...or a blue bow..hmm"
  24. Uhh..just make a new tab and drag cutscene and 'NPC Dialog' into there and you're done.

    Happened to me and I had to figure it out myself, heh.
  25. Hmm, I honestly prefer Disturb's 'Deify' to that song =p

    Well, for ChemicalX I'd say: Static X - I'm the one

    Damn, really wish I had a champ though, would've picked MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch this'
