  1. One question that I think I know the answer to but am not 100% sure about:

    If we enter the opposite zone (vigilante enters RI), our current missions drop. It indicates that we can get them back later if we switch back...is that correct? If I take a hero to villian and come back, I'll be able to get that mission back from the contact?
  2. I'll add to the praise.

    GR pretty much ruined my week last week. Every friggin' spare minute was spent playing. I found there wasn't enough time to do all the things I wanted to do.

    I'm playing different too. Never been interested in "the story" in this game....but I've now started reading all the dialog stuff. I'll even stop to read NPC dialog in my chat box if they run away before I can finish reading what they say.

    The changes are all over the place. So cool to run through Talos and see Masterminds and Brutes there with me.

    Big thumbs up to PS....you're killing my summer tan...but thanks regardless.
  3. Just did my first side-switch thing. Got the big icon in my face along with the awesome sound effect. Very cool.

    Made me again think about how mundane it is when we hit lvl 50. I've been playing a while but lvl 50 is still a pretty big deal to me. (especially since I almost play lvl 50s exclusively) There really isn't anything special about hitting 50 other than the badge notification (which you also get at many other lvls).

    Sure would be cool to have some kind of epic animation go off when you cross that threshold.

    Same thing happened to me.

    Oooo...God of Thunder...I like that.

    I really liked the trailer myself. It is spoiler-heavy but I'll bet there is plenty we didn't get to see. I especially loved the look of Asgard and Hopkins voice (nailed it).

    I really don't know a LOT about Thor...don't know anything about the Destroyer in the end...but it looked awesome.
  6. My first thought was "ahh...they are making room for more than 6 slots per power".

    1. right click on CoH/Cov shortcut
    2. click on properties
    3. click on shortcut tab at top
    4. go to target window "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe"
    5. after the last " press space bar once
    6. enter following code exactly -useTexEnvCombine
    7. click on apply then ok.
    8. right click on CoH run as admin.


    Solved my crash issues might solve ur GL
    I guess this disables Ultra Mode? I see all the options for it went away. It did work for me...framerate went back to what it was before this patch (60-ish). But I was using Ultra Mode before the patch then....ah well...
  8. I've noticed the same thing with many different mob types. They just start spreading out and frequently form one giant mob.

    I snickered... (But I would totally buy that)

    I think part of me wants to ignore the differences between taking Stealth and dropping an IO into something (Sprint works too) because I don't want the Devs thinking too hard about what a sweet deal that is.

    Bind question

    awesome...will write that down for future reference. Thanks!
  12. I look at this a little different than the OP.

    Instead of complaining about Stealth I am thanking the Devs for giving me a way to skip the heck out of it. (Same with Acrobatics) Thank you, Danke, GrĂ sce, Grazias, Merci, Kiitos, Efcharisto, Mahalo, Barkal, Arigato, Xie xie!

    Always makes me smile when I sign on an older toon that still has the Concealment pool. I get that respec urge immediately.

    Bind question

    I dug through the bind section in Player Guides and couldn't find the specific answer to this.

    How do I bind tray 4 slots? I'm missing something here. (I could swear I've done this in the past) What I want is to put my main travel power in the same slot on every toon and just have that key activate that particular slot so I can use it from the saved bind file.

    Thanks for any help.

    Same here.

    I didn't get around to choosing a badger until a couple years ago, so mine has the interesting dilemma of having all the anniversary badges except the 2nd. I wanna kick myself for forgetting to long that one in that year.

As ever more currency chases a small pool of goods, you get inflation.
    I'm not sure that is inaccurate. ("When some recipes/io's start costing 500 million or more, imo, that's an indicator that it's too damn rare.") Rarity is a big factor. The biggest factor it seems to me. You don't have to pay much at all for spirit thorns. Is that because the currency amount lessens when you buy spirit thorns?

    I'm looking at the Gaussian's Fire-Control set right now. You could have gotten 5 of the 6 for 1 million or under recently (way under for some). One recipe however is different. (recharge/end redux) 400+ bidding....0 for sale. The last 5 went for 40 million or more. So what's the main factor here?

    I wonder if there is a bug on that one recipe? I've been trying to get it all week. The price keeps outrunning my bids. I got the others in one day for cheap but that one has had 0 available every time I look.
  16. Awww....

    I got excited when I saw a patch applying and rushed here to see what it was....

    ...just an AE fix. Darn it...

    I suppose it had to happen since the Atlas AE was building up steam again. I guess the Devs want to keep Atlas free farming. (How about removing the AE building from Atlas instead?)

    I saw someone on the first page worrying that new players won't learn to play the game right due to the AE farming....here's hoping we are getting that many new players.

    As far as the BIOS, it varies depending on computer manufacturer and BIOS manufacturer. Usually you press F1, F2, F10, Delete, or another key as the computer is booting. You "should" see a message about what key to press to get into Setup when you start the computer.

    Once you are in, it again will vary as to what setting needs to be changed to allow your BIOS to recognize the USB keyboard. It may even need a BIOS update to enable you to change that setting if it's even available then.

    Of course, if you don't know what you are doing specifically, I wouldn't go changing any settings in the BIOS and especially not flashing the BIOS with a newer version. You can really mess things up in there and messing up a flash gets really bad.

    Get a professional to look at it. Most should only charge a very minimal fee to look through the BIOS to see if they can get the keyboard to be recognized or to flash the BIOS.

    And by "get a professional to look at it" I don't mean taking it to Best Buy, CompUSA or similar.
    Now that I think about it, I do have an acquaintance I can seek out to look at it personally. Thanks.

    It's a USB. Model # RT7D50

    Looks like a basic keyboard....smaller than usual actually (kinda compact and cool).

    How does one get the BIOS' attention? Yell really loud? "Hey you..BIOS! Wake up!"

    I normally wouldn't make a big deal of something like this (keyboards are rather cheap) but money is tight around these parts lately... (Or will be soon)
  19. I was given a brand new Dell keyboard and since mine is showing some wear I thought I would just plug it in and go.

    I guess not...my PC wouldn't even boot up with the thing attached. I then put my old one back on and booted up. (The screen resolution was all screwed up too) I was hoping I could plug in the Dell keyboard at this point...but it just doesn't work at all.

    Maybe the keyboard is just broken? Seems unlikely...it was packed in the box and everything when I got it.
  20. I was thinking of adding a little defense to a toon and thought of picking up Stealth. I notice it says you lose "a little" of the defense when attacking. Anyone know how much you lose?

    If it helps, go to YouTube and watch some videos of stupid crooks. They really are frequently stupid.
  22. Reading this reminds me how much I love my AR/Devs. I think I'll break it out tonight. I just love setting up all the little traps (while invis) and watching the chaos that results.
  23. Oh...when I said "no AV's so far" I meant I hadn't been in a long drawn out battle with a team.

    I tried that today and zero end issues....that's an amazing thing to say for a Spines/Dark.

    After looking at this I think I should have only put one slot into Conserve Power. I could have added another one somewhere else for more defense. I've been testing mine today and I NEVER need Conserve power. (No AV's so far)
