That will run it fine, as long as you run the Golden Age version of CoH.

The big advantage of a SSD is in seek time, rather than transfer rate. i.e. An application with large files like CoH sees a moderate improvement. Something that loads dozens, hundreds or thousands of files (like Photoshop, or Windows) sees a massive improvement.
Those outrageous claims about "Windows loads in 15 seconds" are absolutely true. -
Not a bug. That's why the captive has a question mark "Crey Captive?". The 'captive' is a Nemesis automaton.

Quote:Wrong. The only 'fact' is that red means a certain "server load". Since they only have 3 levels to display, you can't assume that red means 'danger' or 'overloaded'.It's exactly as I stated. There is no contradiction.Quote:The second sentence here is contradicting the first. Which is it?
This is obviously complete nonsense and not at all what I said. We all know damn well that server capacity is not infinite and I never said anything of the sort.Quote:Now by your reasoning one extra person can not ever reach a max capacity no matter how many people log on but that would mean that our max capacity is infinite which would mean we wouldn't even have a need to show server load at all sense it would always be the same no matter how many people are playing.
No. Every server has location congestion at various times and places. If a particular player has lag issues, then they need to avoid crowds.Quote:But considering the average player is not rich and can't afford top of the line computers. Keep in mind I gradually upgraded my computer over the last 7 years to be able to handle the game better I didn't get it right away like this. So to the average player, Freedom is in fact overpopulated as population, though not the only reason for lag, does play a major factor in how much lag the average player experiences.
Simply put if the average player is still the one complaining about lag all the time, the sever is overpopulated.
If the server has such high load that EVERYONE has lag, THEN it's overcrowded. Not before. -
Quote:Firstly, there is maintenance scheduled for EVERY Thursday morning.Zep, please pay no attention to the less than helpful people that have responded thus far, all in jest.
There was an unschedualed maintaniance today that lasted for almost 6 hours.
Secondly, the fact that it would be extended was announced yesterday.
Then something went south and things diverged from plan at that point. -
Quote:Nope. The EULA makes it clear that there may be downtime.Yeah now I'll complain. >_>
Do we get a reimbursement of time we lost or does that time still count.
I'm just glad people aren't overreacting . . .
Oh, wait, people ARE overreacting. Business as usual. We now return to our previously scheduled program.Quote:Epic Fail guys.......EPIC EPIC fail. Lets try not to do this stuff again and if so then please can we get better info....All your APATHETIC messages on timing are a complete failure said to just appease the gaming family that you have made feel ******. I would have rather seen...
"Servers are down, sorry we messed up, consider doing something else today as servers will be down until 9pm. We know we screwed a bunch of you and apologize....we will have a double xp weekend starting next weekend due to our moronic epic fail!!!!" -

Quote:If you didn't take all the passives, put one resistance enhancer in it. If you took the passives, put one recharge - just in case. Really, you should be going multiple missions without using Unstoppable at all.And I'd agree with poster who suggested earlier that 6 slots in Unstoppable if probably too many, even for SOs. The base resistance values of that power should cap your resistances or all but cap them to everything (except of course psi and toxic). If you're using SOs only, and skipped Resist Energies and Resist Elements, then maybe you'll want a single Res Enhance in Unstoppable, but otherwise....

Quote:Wrong. The only 'fact' is that red means a certain "server load". Since they only have 3 levels to display, you can't assume that red means 'danger' or 'overloaded'. By definition, these measures will move from yellow to red with the addition of one more player once it is at the upper extreme of 'yellow load'. Are you seriously going to claim that red automatically means "overpopulated" because one additional person logged in? The problem with that meter is a lack of granularity. For all we know, red simply means operating between 67% and 100% capacity.You know the little dots next to server selections that show 1, 2, 3, RED next to the server. Freedom is Red most of the time and never drops below 3 dots unless they just did server maintenance, it's overpopulated, that's a fact.
Also, "overpopulated" is a VALUE JUDGMENT. I don't think anyone would disagree that Freedom is the "most populated" server. But "overpopulated" is purely a matter of opinion. -
Quote:grrr...I'd absolutely hate to be rid of Daylight Savings, it makes a massive difference over here when it kicks in (Dublin, Ireland)

Our parent company is in Birmingham so we have a 5 hour time difference *BUT* they don't change the clocks at the same time we do. So, for two weeks in the Spring, it's a 4 hour difference and for two weeks in the Fall, it's a 6 hour difference. feh! -
Quote:oops, no one replied to this yet. Yes, Rogues can join. For a blue side task force, you can be Hero, Vigilante or Rogue.I would love to join, I'll bring my Bane Spider Armor.
Rouges can join right?
The only downside of a Rogue is that you can't use Ouroboros or bases for travel since you get treated as a Villain for those amenities. -
Quote:Well, the GM was still wrong or someone misunderstood someone. You do NOT need to change your search parameter to get more screens of results in the search window.Turg,
I'm not fact checking you, we're having an important discussion here. I play this game a lot and I'm always searching for members. I get the same lists all the time. People send hate chat to me saying I just telled them 30 secs ago. I know this firsthand. I was just exploring to see if I was doing something wrong. I have done this on NA and EU servers.
um... I think we're misunderstanding each other here. Are you talking about the global friends list? I think the capacity is 200. I can guarantee it's over 100. (Yes, I counted my global friends.)Quote:Next, the globalids and friends list, this can't be more than 8-15 for each. Are you hiding yourself based on this small listing? -
Those are some pretty kick-*** stats for a laptop. Looks good.

It depends what you want to slot in the powers (i.e. IO sets) and what you can afford to slot. For example, in Tough Hide, I would put two slots UNLESS I wanted set bonuses. For sets, I'd probably have 4 slots - there are a lot of sets where I would want either 4 pieces or 2 pieces each from 2 sets.
For Invincibility, 'ideally', I'd have 3 slots each with a Hami O (I forget the name of it) that gives defense buff / to hit buff / end reduction. That HO is *GOLD* for that power (and great for Fortitude also). -
Right, all the extra calculations. If they took that powerset away from them, and got rid of their capes, the lag would go away. But they really wouldn't be Cimerorans any more.

Quote:Except it won't show up on the map. I think we need an option like we have in city zones - show names. So each room would say POWER, MEDICAL, etc.I did this for my Allied Fighters base on Champion using room lighting.
We used blue for teleporter rooms, red for control/ops, white for entry, green for medical, yellow for logistics bay, etc.
It worked great too, as SG members would say, "where's the teleporters?", with the repsonse "go to the blue room area" and there was much rejoincing thereafter. -
Quote:That doesn't sound right. And.....Already on Freedom Badge which seems to be quit 90% of the time.
Bingo! If this channel was active 6 years ago, it's probably dead now. The global channels eventually fill up with inactive accounts and people start a NEW version of the channel and all the active accounts migrate over to the new one. You need to get the names of the global channels that are currently active for your server.Quote:I think I'm just going to drop the badge channel now it was active when I first joined but I've been in there for at least 6 years.
(I don't play on Freedom much, so I can't offer any suggestions.) -

Quote:Would "Put in the bid 20 levels before you need it." be another category?There are roughly four "time periods" for buying something. Buy It Now, Wait Five Minutes, Wait Overnight, and Wait Till Tuesday.

(To clarify, I don't start filling up my WW slots with bids when the toon is 15. I use a level 50 who isn't busy to start buying the stuff weeks in advance.) -
Quote:Maybe, but that's not why I do it. In my opinion, the sweet spot for IO sets is in the mid 30's - high enough to be powerful, but low enough that you can exemp for most game content and keep your bonuses. I have a level locked toon to take random rolls to get stuff I need, then sell what's left.Most of what i've heard is that people lock around lvl 30 for the most profitable selections, is that true?
Also, I do lots of task forces while leveling and my characters blow all their merits on random rolls when they hit 35, for the same reason. -
Quote:Okay, you're making up explanations here about how people are supposedly thinking. I play on Infinity and it's NON-STOP WST EVERY WEEK. If I wanted to do the WST 3 or 4 times per night, I could get on teams EASILY.But I've learned that specific TFs give specific components and non-50 TFs don't seem to really do anything. So like finding a Sister Psyche team during her Strike Week seemed impossible. 50's didn't want to do it because it doesn't drop shards and lower levels didn't want to do it because they thought it was just for the level 50's.
And you're not finding teams on a more populous server? You're on the wrong global channels. I'm on the 3 biggest badge/TF channels on my server and there are TF teams CONSTANTLY. Seriously. I did the Kahn TF TWENTY-FIVE times that week. (Because it can be run fast and I really like it.)
I know it sounds trite but, if you're having trouble getting teams on Freedom, "you're doing something wrong." -
Once you get this hooked up, track your usage so you don't get cut off or hit with surprise fees for going over your allotment. I use BitMeter and it gives all kind of tracking/charting options on your internet usage.
