  1. So, out of curiosity, who was in that costume? Either way though, the entire thing was awesome. #1, bravo!

    ....I would be alright with that option happening. I would be very okay with it.
  3. Man I wish I could go...Unfortunately I'm up in Michigan. Still....Hope you guys have a good time!
  4. Well, look at the original GW. It was a buy once, no pay after, and it is still going. Besides from that, its a fantasy style rather than modern/sci-fi/futuristic MMO, as the majority of the MMOs that NCsoft has killed off previously have been....They are keeping the fantasy style MMOs going, and killing off any that don't mesh with that. Plain and simple. Chances are GW2 will keep going for a long time as a result. Or until NCsoft drives itself out of business, remains to be seen.
  5. Well, I know it can be played on beta....but I want it on Live! XD Ah well. Least I can look at the pretty animations =P
  6. I've been wondering about this as well.....though I actually managed to create a character with it, as soon as you start loading into the game, it boots you for having an 'invalid character'....I'm wondering whats going on there?
  7. Well, Tony. With me having grown up with City of Heroes (started playing when I was 12...I'm 20 now.), I definately don't want to see this game go. I may be a college student with not a lot of cash, but I will definately pledge whatever I possibly can in order to help you guys get this going. I wish you luck if you do get into talks with NCSoft, and hopefully things go well of Paragon City!
  8. Made up a Necro/Poison build for a friend, but its been a long time since I made any MM builds, any advice on the build or is it good as is?

  9. I've been working at this build for a little while now, and figured I'd see if anyone has some recommendations for it, as I don't tend to play blasters at all (haven't since around issue 11). Was going for S/L defense to be at the least just a small purple insp away from soft cap, and I also went for a high recharge and damage output. As you may be able to tell from the purples in the build, I'm not too worried about the cost, just the end results. Any tips and pointers that can be offered would be much appreciated!

    Dark Melee/Stone

    So, recently I went through my characters and found my old Dark/Stone brute. Sitting at level 50 and stripped of most of his IOs. I decided I'd take him out of storage and make use of him again, as he already had a chunk of his incarnate abilities just waiting to be used. I've gone over and made two slightly different builds, and I'd appreciate some advice as to which of the two I should use, or at the very least how I could improve one or the other.

    I believe personally that the first build would provide better survivability, though the second may provide overall better damage. Again, any advice is appreciated!
  11. Truthfully, I have no clue what caused my computer to go down hard like it did, nor did I really figure out what caused the issue with city of heroes. However, having taken the pictures of my registry key for the game and posted them here, I'm going to go through the key as it is with the reinstalled OS and see if there are any significant differences that could give a clue.
  12. Well, today I had the joy of my entire computer crashing. I'm currently in the process of hodgepodge fixing it by having wiped the computer and I'm in the process of trying to handpick the right drivers...progress is slow, but I get the feeling I may not have the issue with City of Heroes once I get in reinstalled on the fresh restart. However, this is definately not how I'd have liked to get it fixed. Play the hand dealt though, eh?

    Edit: So I guess the issue is now cleared up, after I'd reinstalled my OS. Thanks for having worked on helping solve the issue.
  13. Just a quick clarification, I am able to get into the game and play it, I just can't change my graphics settings or the window size. the game itself will run and be playable (save for crashing occasionally when changing costumes).

    Edit: I am going to be trying this registry fix later today, as I do have work in a few hours.
  14. Tried switching it over to Let App Choose under the nVidia control panel, and I have still continued to have the graphics settings being changed cause the game to crash. I also tried turning the AlienFX off, and disabled it for the game as well.
  15. Well, I disabled the prefetch process, turned Aero off, and I'm still having the issue of the game crashing up changing graphics settings or the window size.
  16. Sorry for the ignorance, but how do I turn off this Windows prefetch process? I wasn't aware I had something like that.

    Human-Only WS?

    So. After much trial and error playing my Human-Only shade, and along with the new instant transformations that were brought along in I23, I figured I'd redo my Shade's build a little bit. As it stands now, I've got both mire's perma, and only took dwarf form so I can quick switch over and pop the mire off after hitting the human mire, then pop back and start popping everything. The main things I'm wondering about are if there are really any better powers I could switch out for, or if this is looking good as is, and if there is really any better slottings I could go with.

  18. So I just tried doing some switching around with the graphics while the game was in safe mode, and it worked until I put the game into windowed mode. This resulted in any further changes to the graphics causing the game to freeze up. Screenshots of the registry key will be coming soon.
  19. The game still crashes even at the login screen settings option, or if I even try to expand or shrink the game window. I 'am' able to play the game, though I just can't touch my graphics settings at all. And as for what changed a few days ago to possibly cause this, I'm not sure. I haven't gone to any unusual websites, and I haven't had any software patches besides the patches for City of Heroes.
  20. I attempted once again to change graphics settings after making sure every non-essential programs were shut down, having gone through the task manager to close out every process I could that wasn't needed for the computer to run. I also hooked my laptop up to an ethernet connection, and after trying these steps, the issue is still persisting.
  21. I turned off all programs save for City of Heroes and went in to try changing the graphics setting, but ended with the same result of the game locking up. Beginning to wonder if it might be a compatibility issue, but I wouldn't know if this is correct or not.
  22. As far as I can tell, its not an overheating issue. And any attempt for me to lower my graphics settings ends up with the game freezing. I also am unable to change the window size for the game without the game freezing up as well.
