  1. It's a shame they don't have some kind of public, closed and/or open beta test, allowing users to test things out, and point out what's broken. Then they could listen to that feedback, and fix things, instead of having to run a QA during a live publish.
  2. I already made art for that badge!!

    That's different from /buy_coh. Two different /commands.

    QFT. I'd love to go forward, to IPB, but not back to rUBBish Boards.

    Although I do miss the cake next to usernames during a birthday...

    Same comics everywhere, they print them especially for that day.

    Blackest Night #0 was a Free Comic Book Day comic last year. This year we get War of the Supermen #0.

    They used to have special figures or HeroClix on that day, don't think they do that anymore.
    I guess my local shop(s) keep them for themselves, and hand out the crap they can't get rid of. Ain't we lucky?

    Umm... I also use Excel to track various stuffs for CoH... Builds, Respecs, IO sets needed for builds, Salvage for crafting Common IOs, NPC Vend Prices for Set IO Recipes, list of arcs with good Merit returns, what I can cash Candy Canes in for, tracking Praetorians defeated for the badge, tracking where who is for what Day Job, along with what Day Jobs are done, a listing of all 83 of my characters across 4 servers & two accounts, what charcter is in what SG/VG, a listing of my characters from highest non-50 to lowest so that I can see at a glance who to switch to for a TF, and a listing of what powerset combos I've made by side and AT.

    Essentially, I've made Excel my ***** for CoH.

    Also: Where are mai kitteh pix!!

    Seriously?

    The event ran on Guardian tonight. While I seemed to be moving fine during travel, everyone else, PCs, NPCs, vehicles, all seemed to be moving frame by frame. And I'm sure that other players saw their character traveling fine, and mine going frame by frame...

    Combat became a lagfest of press a button, and wait for it to activate. Even with my graphics on the bare minimum...

    Remembering this thread, while everyone was in Atlas killing GMs, I went to the Tram. It took five mins. from when I clicked on Kings Row as my destination until it moved to the loading screen...

    When I loaded into KR, where nobody was, there was lag there, too. Not nearly as bad as it was in Atlas, though. The vehicles were moving in a jerky way... move forward for a few seconds, pause for one, move forward for a few, etc.

    Rather interesting...
  14. Yup. Part of GR slipping in by accident. During the CB, we had access to the new Alpha and Omega Auras, and could use them at character creation.

    I think there was another pattern that slipped in after that, and before Syndicate, but I can't remember...
  15. It's all back? Neat!! Was busy with Anniv Event on Guardian.
  16. Everything should, in theory, work fine after the patch.
  17. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

    Hope it's a good one!!

    Excel & Boredom

    OK, so not exactly boredom...

    Anyway, messing around in Excel, using it to recreate some old 8-Bit NES stuffs. Click thumbnails for larger versions.

    Super Mario Bros.


    The Legend Of Zelda


    Mega Man


    And then, just to see if I could, a 16-bit version of Mega Man:


    It's not too bad, but due to my widescreen monitor, I was one row short for his hair. There's supposed to be a little spike up there...

    So.. yeah... Fun with Excel.
  19. The "quit to login" command is /buycoh. That will open a window telling you about buying the game to upgrade your trial account, and that it will open a browser window with the NCSoft Store in it.

    The 30 second countdown is still in effect, and if you try to log in immediatly, you'll get the message that the account is already logged in.

    Finally, if you try to set up a bind/macro for /buycoh $$ dialogyes, it will crash the game.

    Yes, but the reason Nericus said to grab them after hitting Level 2 is because the Level 1 Contaminated now con Blue, and die much faster. You can gran them at Level 1, but the point was to make good use of them at Level 2.

    Before Flashbacks, before Vet Rewards, I'd always do the Tutorial, going mission to mission, only killing the required 6 Contaminated (2 for Parks, 4 for Hicks), and then get Coyote's mission. I'd load in, kill the Contaminated, click the compy, and wait. That mission always sends a wave of Contaminated at you after you complete it. Then, I'd exit, run past Coyote, back to the Hotzone, where'd I'll kill the remaining 80-something I needed for Isolator. Went much faster because I could generally 1 or 2 shot them.
  25. Well, looks like the changed the roster again. I dunno what server was copied over this time, but it's not Freedom... o_O
