So if your mission implies that it's a farming mission, it'll be banned. Doesn't matter if it is one or not. If it's not one and it's banned, escalate it to the GMs and ask for it to be unbanned.

[/ QUOTE ]


So, the GM are doing a search on the term "farm" and out-right banning the mission arc without even looking at it.

Sorry, but as a some-what student of history, this strike me purely as draconian and early 1933 Germany.

I thought that MA was specifically designed so you "can't" farm?

If the GM are so against farming, why don't they silence all the people in Atlas in broadcast "sewer team forming for farm"?

I'm not upset that mine was banned, as I did put it up there to get the two badges (publishing an arc with custom boss, and early bird), but it had something to do, and I could always expand it later.

Plus, it was using one of my published slots, and getting banned did not release the spot as I had to unpublish it myself.

just some thoughts.

I had my arc banned after 22 people played it (I got the Author badge to prove it.)

Mine was probably banned for the same reason, as it had "Farm" and "Tickets" in the title.

But that also calls to question:

1 What if I make a bunch of custom critters that look like ducks, chickens, cows, goats and pigs.
2. I take said custom critters, and put them in an outdoor map.
3. I make the mission "defeat all"
4. And call it "Your Ticket to the Animal Farm Revolt".


Would that be banned?

Being able to make multiple stand alone missions and combing them into an arc.

Easier to test, then easy to publish.

Please use this thread to discuss the New Super Group Rank: Super Leader announcement.

[/ QUOTE ]

Groups DO have to work it amongst themselves of Leaders who might log in to get it first. If the person that is "supposed" to get it does not get the 6th rank, he/she can promote someone to it.

But...

... and I did not see this in any of the commentary:

does offline promotion work yet?

I have given up so many of these "free" respecs: I look at them like I would for offers to "improve my internet speed".


I like free-specs, I try and keep one on every character I have.

That one, and the 3 I earn and the vet rewards... I can be really weird in my builds.

This should be done to all of them in Paragon, the one in City Hall (where I park while waiting for 'City Official') keeps looking at me.

Hunh??? The way it works, an Intel processor is mandatory. Yes, you can get away with an unsupported graphics processor to some level. But are you really saying you've installed this on a quad-G5 computer and it works?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sort of.

It's running in Windows for Mac, old software emulates a 386.

I did NOT say it ran well, but I use it to download large patches and burn them to DVD as my home internet is sort of....sucky.

[ QUOTE ]
yes, that is great news, the problem I have just discovered now is that you must have an Intel Mac

[/ QUOTE ]

And, if you read the specs, you are not supported on the Intel Mac Mini either, which uses the wrong graphics chipset.

This does not preclude Macs from using the Mac Client, only what is "officially" supported.

My Quad-G5 with 10.5 and the NVidia card does run the game, I just can not ask for support.

And, for 50 or so dollars, they can pick up Parallels.

There has been Mac people running the game in all sorts of environments, but now there is a "Mac Native" client.

Does this help?

You can see most if not all of the game emotes in Mantid's Animated Emote Guide.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not all. That dang Mantid still hasn't updated for the cyborg pack yet! (Not to mention a missing emote from issue something-or-another).

[/ QUOTE ]

Well..dang him for something of a "real life"?

I thought it was rather well done for how quick they probably did it.

At least they didn't put one in a suit and the other in jeans and a T-shirt.

Ok, here's my question in regards to a friend who had a PC account in the past, and bought the PC version already.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unlike the other world of computers, the game doesn't care if you use Mac or PC.

If you have a valid PlayNC account that is tied to "City of", grab the Mac Client and play along on your Intel Mac (running at least Mac OS 10.4, preferably Mac 10.5)

PC or Mac, the clients hit the same servers.

ftp://client.coh.com/US

Does that help?

Awesome!

I know the eyes and mouth animations were added in, but is that talking hand emote available? Dying for that!!!

The "Yada yada yada" emote?

You know, I was just thinking. If this power's recharge was a lot less than what it is now. We would probably see a lot more people in the Shadow Shard.

The "Mission Teleporter" will only work to doors/entrances.

Not "Go meet this person", or "Go to this way point".

And you can not order more than one copy at a time.

For those of us with multiple accounts, this means going through the entire purchase process more than once.

Major 1985 attitude there.

I have been going through the GameTreeOnline site and trying to purchase the Pre-Order for the Mac Client (want the shinys), and I have not been able to create an account with them to purchase it.

Will be contacting their support for further assistance, and will post updates.

As soon as someone can make a nice graphic, the installer for the "Standard MacClient Map Pack" will be available on VidiotMaps.

Turn your web-browser to http://www.vidiotmaps.com and wait and hope.

So here is a question, how will bind files work with the Mac Version? How does one load bind files with the MAC directory structure?

[/ QUOTE ]
I have an installer for the bind files, found on VidiotMaps.com, ready to go.

Just need to find a host that won't charge by bandwidth so I can make it available.

also have the MapPack and Vanden's Icon Pack ready

Both of these installers will only work if you leave the "City of Heroes.app" in the Application folder.

Working on a script that will find where the ".app" is, and install the packs there. But I'm just a Mac Hack, not a programmer.

anyone seen a way to run this full screen on a second monitor?

[/ QUOTE ]

The only way I have been able to run it on another montior, is while using my laptop I close the lid of the laptop. With an external mouse, keyboard and monitor hooked to the laptop and the laptop lid closed, everything is now on the external as the primary monitor.

Hey folks,

Is there a trick to logging into the Mac open beta? I'm not a current CoH subscriber (though this may change very soon), but I do have an NC Soft account and I can login to the beta just fine.

My friend on the other hand, can not. She signed up for a new NC Soft account this morning and input her email address into the beta site and 12 hours later, can still not login to the open beta. She even tried signing up for the 14-day free trial to see if that makes any difference and so far, no dice.

Is this an issue that just has to be waited out? Or is there some trick we're missing? Thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]

People will say it takes time

Other people will say it takes 24-72 hours.

The authentication server that supplies logins does have a refresh period. It takes time.

[ QUOTE ]
Hi quick question! I pre-ordered the mac version but intend to play with my existing account (as you can see it's an old one). To use the Beta acct number I got, will I still be able to play with old acct in Beta? Or will I be forced into the new account even if I have the client.

Apologies if this has been answered, I read through the thread but may have missed it.

[/ QUOTE ]

As Positron had pointed out in his original announcement, two clients one world.

The Mac Client and PC Client will be playing the same servers.

The special Costume and Power that is part of the "Mac Client" is to be available later via microtransactions later, but if you want them when they come out, you can upgrade (repeat UPGRADE) your account with the Mac Client code.

You can still play the PC Client with a Mac Client code.
