Well, everyone has different goals. My stone tank has Taunt six-slotted with Mocking Beratement. I really wanted that extra 7.5% recharge.

But are they Fighting Trousers?

im in ur base stealin ur.. Never mind.
Well-known bug. Bases that are inactive for a long period of time can get borked and they don't have any power or control. It seems just like rent is past due, but there may not even be rent due. You need to file a support petition in-game. Explain the problem and it will get fixed PDQ.
BTW, plot size no longer has any bearing on rent. It is now based on storage and buffing items. -

I see three general options here:
1. Skip the power. WP tanks don't need to worry about end.
2. Take the power and slot it for damage, use as an aoe, the +end is just an added bonus.
3. Take the power and slot it for end, to have on hand as a defense against sappers.
4. Take the power and slot it for recharge and taunt. The +END is just a bonus. -

I have nothing to prove. I don't have a need to prove. I was more looking for the fun of the venture. You folks arent making the idea terribly fun at all, lol.

Quote:There is an epic flaw in your basic assumption here. The fact that the enemies have similar abilities to your own, and ability to harm you, is NOT A PROBLEM. It's a REQUIREMENT for a challenging game.Originally Posted by Stormfront_NA
I understand that good play and practices can let players "work around" the problem; but because you can work around it, it does not mean it does not exist. You can have a good sized pot-hole in your street, since you can drive around it, does it cease to be a problem?

And my Windows Index is now 7.2. Everything else on the system rates 7.2 except the drives (7.9, max index).
On the bright side, the system actually performs the way I feel a computer SHOULD perform. I can be running 2 instances of CoH, browser, email, Word, Excel, Yahoo IM, Skype... and then open Photoshop to edit a screenshot. -

I mean what the heck is an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD?
I found it. It's in the 11th grouping from the bottom, or like 20 down form the top. Not good.Quote:Or is an ATI Radeon HD 5450 any good? I may be overlooking it on that list in the link provided. -

I had a similar one. Here's the text I saw as I approached the back of the warehouse in a Vigilante tip mission.
[NPC] Silent Blade: I can hear you panting and heaving as you approach me, whelp.
[NPC] Silent Blade: You are not one of my former novices, Ironblade.
[NPC] Silent Blade: I wonder what drives you to pull the tiger's tail.
[NPC] Silent Blade: Or are you on a crusade to right all the wrongs in the world?
[NPC] Silent Blade: Perhaps you still believe in good and evil?
[NPC] Silent Blade: Is this what drives you, Mercenary?
[NPC] Silent Blade: There IS no difference, Mercenary.
[NPC] Silent Blade: All that matters is who walks away from the fight.
[NPC] Silent Blade: Nothing more.
[NPC] Silent Blade: And perhaps...
[NPC] Silent Blade: Perhaps this is where my fight...
[NPC] Silent Blade: My fight finally ends...
Mercenary has defeated Silent Blade
[NPC] Silent Blade: You have defeated me, Ironblade. I submit to the justice you intend to mete out.
That's right! She was defeated without me making a single attack! Because I have the will of the warrior! She was defeated before the fight even started!
Anyway, I filed a bug report before exiting the map. -
Sort of hello!
You should be aware that most of the big channels are set so that new people joining are automatically silenced. This was done due to problems with gold farmers joining and spamming the channels. When you join a channel, you will need to be unsilenced. Look at who is online on the channel (on the friends window, set the dropdown box to the channel name to see who is on). Anyone with a big star next to their name is an operator and can unsilence you. Send them a tell to ask.
I would also recommend those channels: Inf Badge Seeker and Infinity Hamidon. I'm an operator on Infinity Hamidon so I can unsilence you if I'm online. These are public channels so you can join from the chat interface or by typing /chanjoin "Infinity Hamidon" (You need the quotes because the name has a space in it.)
Keep in mind that, when you join a channel, it automatically adds it to the chat window for that character ONLY. I would suggest you join a few channels, arrange your chat tabs how you want, then type /chatsave
That will save the chat channels and settings as your default so it is set for all new characters. Also, you can load it to any other character by typing /chatload
It sounds like you're a bit more into villains. I don't play red side as much as blue. While I run a coalition of several supergroups on blue side, when on red, I steer my SG members and friends to a VG called the Onyx Debtinators. (They also have a blue side SG, Titanium Debtinators.) I'm an officer in there and an operator on the SG/VG private channel. My global names are @Ironblade One and @Ironblade Too so send me a tell if you see me online. (You can find me by looking at who is online on either of the global channels mentioned.) -
Like the subject line says.
I like to use two different clients on my home computer - one for work email and one for my personal email. Previously, I was using Outlook Express for my work email since that's the program I use at the office. Now, under Windows 7, Outlook Express is gone. Since I need to change programs anyway, I figured it was time to ditch Microsoft.
So, what would people recommend? FYI, no need to mention Eudora as I am already using that for my personal email. -
Quote:I had a 'stupid tell' the other day. Some bozo sent me a tell asking if I wanted to participate in a Hamidon Raid. Presumably he found me using the Search window. I say "presumably" because the Search window would list my level and he would see that I was TOO LOW LEVEL to get into the Hive. Sheesh.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Yes, you may have noticed, he's talking in the past tense for some reason. It turns out this guy expects to talk a bunch of strangers into spending perhaps two hours cooperating for a major Task Force, but if it takes longer than a minute or two to find everyone and organize it, he's not going to bother.

I have a question (582 posts later):

As I recall, that avatar is from Robot Chicken - specifically the bit titled "Ode to the Nut Shot" (done to the tune of the 1812 Overture).

Quote:Except this isn't always true - this is 'conditional' also. Most ambushes have text so you know they're coming and can sometimes spot the direction. Also, once you're expecting the ambush you may be able to position yourself (depending on the environment) so you can see them coming before they have line of sight on you. This may (or may not, depending on your powers) give you the option of getting the first shot.Originally Posted by Stormfront_NA
Since I18 the use of Ambushes by the devs have remarkably increased, during these ambushes, by definition the support AT is "ambushed", in short they do not get to go first! This would not be bad, if the ambushing mobs did not open up with area mez and their continued spamming of it. Since the support AT has no unconditional protections, and was by game design caught flat-footed, they have no protections.

Quote:Not to mention that some of the pop-up text is WRONG. When you use the Pocket D teleport, it says something warning you that it will revert your alignment. um... no it won't. It doesn't work like that. It will wipe any tips from the opposing faction, but your alignment is not affected in any way.Originally Posted by NordBlast
3) Add option to hide popup for vigilantes and rogues entering PD and exiting RWZ and PD
It's the first thread I've seen also, but I've seen complaints on global channels starting MONTHS ago. The complaining on the market channel was epic, as you might expect from heavy users of the consignment house.Quote:Originally Posted by Mandu
Just so you know this isn't a universal problem. In fact this is the first thread I've seen about it. There may have been others that I missed but I wasn't aware of the problem. And I've never had to click those changes more than once per character myself. -
Quote:I would agree *IF* you're talking about 'Master' attempts.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
This is so far away from my personal experience that I really have to wonder if we're even playing the same game. I find neither the ITF nor the LRSF to be easily achieved by just knowing the right strategy. I find both to require combinations of luck and copious use of debuffs to be successful. And, at least in my experience, they require very specific groupings to succeed.
Otherwise, everyone just brings whatever they feel like.
To me, using that kind of stuff is just wasting it on those task forces. They just aren't that hard.Quote:I'll add the caveat that I have never possessed nor used (and probably never will possess or use) Warbug Nukes, Shivan summons, or Vanguard Heavies.
Again, I'd agree a mind dom is important *IF* it's a 'Master' attempt. Otherwise, just run in and hit things. Did this SF just the other night. We tried for the Master badge, but failed. Simply completing the SF wasn't hard at all. And we obviously did it without any temp powers since it was a Master attempt.Quote:The LRSF isn't quite as bad - one failed attempt out of three runs, that caused largely by us being underlevelled an unable to cope with level 54 AVs while we were all pegged at level 48 (the rest of the TF scaled down, but the Phalanx did not.) The other two runs, however, hinged upon brining a specific build, however (a Mind Dominator); the first was only successful because of that Mind Dominator. The second was successful because I brought one of my Dark Miasma characters (along with other debuffers on the team, including the Mind Dom we brought for the original failed plan who nonetheless managed to keep a few of the Phalanx pinned down, if not all of them, while we took the rest).
Well, that's total nonsense. Your experience is whatever it is. Dark Miasma being required for any TF is absurd.Quote:The fact that, from my experience, Dark Miasma seems to be a requirement for the so-called "end game" content (STF, LGTF, ITF, LRSF, KTF and BSF being what we had before i19) -
And check out how uber I am, based on the mission complete text:
Quote:I destroyed the bomb triggers AND stopped Lord Caernoz! Pretty smooth, eh?You have defeated Uranium Bomb Trigger Shipment Container
You have prevented Lord Caernoz from returning through the portal... For now.
You've destroyed the container holding all of the uranium-filled bomb triggers. Longbow can return to mop up any of the Fifth Column stragglers left in the base.

Thanks! Just got back from a bit of a break, so little details have slipped my mind.

Seriously, we know it's easy to fix because this functionality occurs so many other places in the game.
1) Hide Useful Salvage Warning
Come on! I have to click this box multiple times every day I play! There's a whole boatload of these 'hide prompt' options that work correctly - why can't this one get fixed? It's been broken so long that it's genuinely ridiculous. It doesn't matter whether you click the setting in the pop-up box or if you go into Menu/Options - both settings fail.
2) Hide Large Action House Fee Warning
Exact same issue as above. -
Quote:I believe this is an issue with the game mechanics. Since the Trapdoor mission requires you to choose branching dialog, I don't think it can be droppable.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
I think the underlying is that Trappy needs to be made droppable. If he were able to be dropped, almost all of this angst would vanish. This is why we're seeing a ton of complaining abut Trappy, yet almost none about Honoree/Holtz.
