I never heard that. That sounds like the reason they scrapped the City Vault.

Quote:With 8 people on the team, the missions spawn for a team 8. I can imagine this would be time-consuming when there is only one actual player.Originally Posted by Sulfur_Tios_EU
Well, since freedom came along, Ive realized that I can run 8 man/woman teams on my own, on two different rigs, four instances of the game on each computer. Ive done the Quarterfield task force this way, and that was not too hard since it holds no AVs (Will not mention how long it took though).
Are you aware that if people quit the team, the spawn sizes will adjust downward? At the most extreme, you could have all but two people quit and the missions will spawn for a team of two. (If the second-to-last person quits, the task force disbands.)
Now, two might not be enough for you to take down some of the AV's, but I would think that the right 3 or 4 characters could do it and the rest of the task force would go a lot faster. -
Not going to comment on the motherboard. I built my system over a year ago so I'm not up to date on current mobos.
Will this board allow me to utilize a small SSD ( 32 -64 gigs ) on the motherboard to use as a cache to boot up Windows and CoH faster ?? does this attach directly to the motherboard or does it go to one of the hard drive bays ??
I think you actually mean installing it as a BOOT DRIVE, rather than a CACHE - i.e. the SSD would be your C: drive. It probably won't go in a drive bay. Most recent cases have a dedicated location for installing an SSD. Mine has a spot on the floor of the case and came with rubber mounting grommets. Why? I dunno. It's not like SSDs are sensitive to vibrations or make any noise. <shrug>
You'll use a SATA connector and a power connector, just like any other drive. Well, any drive recent enough that it doesn't use IDE.
Which SSD should I choose. I have looked at Corsair and they seem to make pretty decent stuff. I am going with their 500r case and I like their modular power supplies as well.
Corsair should be fine. I haven't heard anything bad about their SSD's and they're certainly a dependable name for other components. My SSD is Crucial.
Will this work Wirelessly from the MB or will I need to get some type of wireless USB device.. right now my PC is wired into my router but the router is wireless and when we ge ta bigger apartment I want the ability to move my PC where ever I want...
I never set up a tower system to use wireless and never will. For laptops, fine. For a desktop, since it's not going to MOVE, you really want a wire. ESPECIALLY for gaming. Seriously, how often are you going to move it? My system has a rats nest of cables behind it. Is yours different?
Do I need a cooler for the motherboard.. I will run my PC for hours of gaming.. should I get one..
Actually, gaming doesn't put a lot of stress on the CPU. The video card does the heavy lifting. However, you asked about overclocking. If you even CONSIDER overclocking, hell yes you want an aftermarket cooler. Now, my CPU is running flat-out - 100% utilization on all cores, 24 hours a day. So I have an aftermarket cooler. It's from Zalman and it's freaking enormous. I had to review case dimensions to make sure it would fit.
The OEM coolers from Intel are much better than they used to be. If you were certain you would never overclock, I'd say stick with the stock cooler. If you want to see what's out there, and how effective they are, I'd check out www.overclockers.com and www.tomshardware.com -

I think the only one being unfair here is you expecting something for nothing.
The problem is that he wants EVERYTHING for nothing.
Never mind returning, even. When I first started this game, I saw it was going to be a 3 hour download. I spent that time reading the manual (as pathetic as it was) and tracking down online resources. By the time it was ready to play, I knew what AT and powersets I wanted on my first character to learn the game.Quote:Originally Posted by Natsuki
I've returned to several different MMOs months or even years after I gave up on them. The first thing I do while the game is redownloading is spending 30 minutes to an hour (sometimes two hours) learned what all changed, so I understand what I am getting into and to make sure I'm not gimping my character if I need to respec. -
Quote:I agree with your point about the loyalty program.Originally Posted by Dark Energon
I'm not saying it won't be ready, i'm saying it won't be released.
Looking at two things here.. history from the past 3 years is one.
Second one.. Loyalty program. The Salute to Statesman loyalty program runs from December 1st 2011 to March 31st 2011.
Your point about history is absolutely meaningless, though. Are you including the history while Jack was running the show? Are you including the time while the games ownership was different? Do you think the history while there was a staff of 15 is comparable to when there was a staff of 50? With such sweeping changes behind the scenes, drawing conclusions based on history is a fools errand. -
Quote:Prior to CoH:Freedom, if you didn't pay every month, you got NOTHING. Now you can have a limited experience at no cost. Seems like you're better off now than you used to be.Originally Posted by Knights
I realize that. But even some older players or even much younger players are now going to have to pay or play for an EXTREMELY long period of time just to use their good enhancements. Some young players aren't allowed by their parents to pay even for that little money. Think about it. You can't tell me this doesn't seem a little unfair, even if you had to pay before and I realize that too.

But they're too stubborn and proud of their own intentions for it to ever change it to make 90% of the playerbase actually happy with it*.

Quote:Actually, they mentioned that you should just IGNORE the duplicates and beat him down. That's how I always do it. I've soloed him on multiple tanks and my tanks are NOT built for damage output (except for one).Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Since nobody has directly mentioned this in the thread:
When fighting Trapdoor, you have to defeat his bifurcation duplicates--their presence boosts the original's regeneration rate immensely, and his hitpoints will regenerate faster than you can damage him if you ignore them. -

Quote:Okay, so they're CHOOSING not to do the content because they don't like exemping. That's their option. But they can't complain that the content doesn't exist.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
Or you simply DESPISE exemping, which many folks do.

Quote:Absolutely ridiculous. Going that route means you need to tear out all the PvE content in those zones. Take out the door missions, the missiles, the shivans, the badges, etc. Terrible idea.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
In a nutshell, Zone PvP should only be for teams of 4 or more. A single player should not be allowed access to a PvP zone.
And saying, no, we'll restrict it to teams but leave all that stuff in there would suck even worse. -
Have you actually CONTACTED a redname or are you just waiting for them to happen to stumble across this thread?

During the uninstall, does it delete the entire directory? I was getting that error after an update that got interrupted. Sometimes it leaves behind a temp directory with a name that starts with a tilde (~) and that borks any further attempts. If that directory is still there, you need to delete it and try again.

Quote:um... By "rotating", you mean that you're going to do different trials each Friday? Well, I mean some will be the same since there aren't a lot of them, but it will be a different list of trials each week?Originally Posted by Elllls
So here goes. Starting Friday the 24th of February, I will be hosting a rotating trial team:
We're going to start out at 6:30 PM (ish) with Lambda, Minds of Mayhem, and finish with the Underground.
I ask because I have something scheduled Friday evenings so I would be able to join for the first, or first two if they're short. -
Quote:Well, two comments:Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Basically, to my mind, there are two forms of content: stuff to do and stuff to get. The former are things like missions, Incarnate raids, zone content; the latter would be things like Inventions, or Incarnate Powers. I've noticed, though, that in this game (and the other), that once you get to the max level, the get-content massively outweighs the do-content. There's a ton of stuff one can seek to make their level 50 even level 50-er, or something, but it inevitably involves grinding a very small amount of content.
1) Firstly, the "stuff to do" once you hit 50 is still a huge amount. Almost everything you did on the way up, or MISSED on your way up, is still available to you. You're just excluding it because it doesn't give incarnate progress.
2) Of course the incarnate content is a small amount of content. Compare the entire lifetime of the game to how long the incarnate system has existed. It's relatively new. However, they are steadily adding more, and we will soon have solo / small team incarnate stuff. -
Well, the problem here is that you have a group of people: those who would want this as a collectors item. I would think this is a rather small group. Then you have another group: people with 10 billion inf to spend frivolously. Again, I would think this is a very small group.
The OP needs to find people in the tiny subset where the two groups overlap. I'm sure there are some out there. If we could buy a badge for 10 billion inf, I would have it. Or 50 billion, or 100. That would be important enough to me. So I figure there's someone out there who would love to have this HO. -

Well, in my defense I didn't say "everyone" used it to avoid jerks. I left some out because they might have different reasons.

It's not working as expected though. I do get "Tip discovered" messages or something to that effect, but they don't show up in contacts or missions or clues.And there's the problem. If I recall correctly, Praetorians don't even HAVE a Tips tab in the contact window. (Until they cross over to Primal Earth.)Quote:Originally Posted by StarGeek
They are exactly like alignment tips and show up in the same place (Contacts menu->Tip tab). There is no way to tell if the tip that just dropped is a regular tip or a valentine tip until you go to that menu.

Well, from the main web site, the support link takes you here. You can send a message to the support personnel from there.
As for waiting until Monday, I'll point out that Monday is Presidents Day in the U.S. If they're closed today, they're probably closed Monday. -
