    Right back at ya!

    As was said in the previous thread on this topic, this is likely a result of never intending to have characters go past level 50 for the purple patch, so there is no scaling for such a large gap. When fighting a 1 on what is for all intents and purposes a 51 player, the game fails to properly scale, most likely the purple patch is failing to be applied at all, and not just the game is applying an even-con's "purple patch" (although, without being privy to the source, that's mostly just an educated guess).

    But, as was the point of my previous post, this isn't something that will be regularly encountered, and often won't be noticed even when a 50+1 is trying to fight a level 1- this should be a pretty damn low priority bug from the Dev's point of view (assuming this is the total extent of the bug... it could be merely a symptom of a more dangerous issue).
  2. Nothing particularly stands out... maybe try (temporarily) renaming the data folder (with the map pack and icon fixes), and try running the game without them... at least it'd be one variable that we could remove.
  3. If it's actually showing the wrong Judgement power, then you should /bug it in game. Nothing that Player Questions could help you with.

    Edit: Or, what was said after me. I really should adjust my Incarnate's costume... the ones I've been using haven't been updated since PC came out!

    Oh, but there is quite a number of people that are, solo, joining the LFG. I've done it more times than I have joined a pre-formed, max size team. At least, there are on Freedom, can't say about other servers.
  5. I've seen a couple posts about this already. Not tested it myself, but since I've not seen any recolored powers I'm gonna guess it might be a universal issue.
  6. No, they're basically the same, so you can't double up on them, at least for the major ones. You can, though, switch sides so that you can unlock them the easiest way possible (i.e. Demonic is fairly easy to get, while the Hero equivlent is a royal pain... at least it was last I looked).

    LFG system....

    I'm fairly certain the system doesn't give a crap about what AT you are.

    My Fire/Kin Controller was put on a BAF with all Scrappers, Tankers, and Blasters (I was the only one that wasn't). From the dozen+ other runs I've done, it just seems to put those that are available on it... Also, heals suck.


    And just so you know, emps and the like will not help with the warnings that Siege and Nightstar do- after the third one you're hit with a five thousand mag mez (actually, over 5k), as well as all those that are around you. That's most likely the issue you were facing.

    This is just like all the other top-level TF/SFs they've put in the game... at first people would fail spectacularly, and after people learned wtf you're supposed to do, people now PuG them all the time at times that'd rival the 'speed' runs upon release.

    The LFG system could use some improvements (such as being more willing to put you on existing teams if you click that button), but IMO it's a great start.
  8. Poor, poor Oranbegans... if they thought one guy coming in to bust them up was bad enough... but to have 12-24 more storm in after him?
  9. Also, make sure 'NPC dialog' is added- some cutscenes might use that instead of the other channel.

    Just an FYI, but binds don't care if it's a fresh install are not, since there's stored on the server side and specific to the character.

    It's more than possible that someone could play this game 24/7 since they introduced Purples, farming mobs that can drop purples, and never getting a single one. The converse is also possible: they could get a purple for every single kill (assuming their inventory isn't full... lets just say they either go to the market a lot... or delete a lot). That would be random (the game's use of a PRNG vs a RNG is more so academic than having a meaningful impact- even crappy PRNGs are more than random enough for the needs of CoH).

    My problem is having "uncommon" tables way more than "common" tables.
    I'd presume the 'common' here is referring to how commonly it's used in the crafting, now how commonly it drops... meaning everything is still kosher.

    Or, if it really bothers people so much, the Devs can just rename them all to a randomly generated string- I propose replacing 'common' with 'eowaijlfkmvs'. No one will complain about misleading names then
  13. Might as well post the CoH Helper & HiJack This log, a bit hard to go just on that.
  14. How many costumes are visible to you? If you save a new one that has a name that starts with a letter before 's', did it push off the previously last visible item, or can you see 1 more costume than you could before?

    I'm figuring it's an issue with the number of customes, and the 's' is just coincidental... Although, it might also be an issue where the scrollbars don't scale right (mine stops half-way in the middle of the bottom costume's name).

    A league is a collection of teams (iirc, up to 6 teams, totaling 48 players). Each team still has the person with the 'star', but there's also one team leader that's also the league leader, that can move people around between teams via drag & drop, and other such stuff.

    The only times you have to use a League currently are for the Lambda and BAF Incarnate Trials... although you can use them for various other things, such as making Hamidon Raids or Mothership Raids easier to coordinate... or for whatever the hell you want (although a league can't be doing two different door missions simultaneously, mind you).

    That... just doesn't make any sense at all.

    None of these reports and accounts make any sense at all when you group them together. There's gotta be multiple, unrelated problems going on here.
  17. In the Incarnate window, on the Convert tab, expand Incarnate Thread, "Incarnate XP", and use one of those in there (I assume they count towards Alpha if you don't have it unlocked... but haven't tested).
  18. You could use some of those 32 Incarnate Shards to buy 'XP' to unlock the Alpha, you should have way more than enough.
  19. Please post a CoH Helper and HiJack This log.


    Since even the website is causing your computer to crash... something is severely wrong.
  20. Known issue, currently being worked on.
  21. You need to add the channel 'Cutscene Captions' to one of your chat tabs, for each of the affected characters.
  22. I was running the new SF, and near the start of the thirdish mission, I had my screen glitch out for a second, with the Combat Attributes window (not the monitor), pop up and momentarily show everything at -9999 in red, before returning to normal, with also some weird controls at the bottom of my screen. I got screenshot of them, about 10 seconds before my game froze



    It's overlayed on top of my normal UI, along the bottom center of the screen... anyone ever seen anything like this? It sorta looks like it has something to do with Demo Recording/Playback (the 'record' button, as well as the buttons that look like they're meant for jumping around in a video/demo).
  23. A while back (i19), in a Villain base, I had it fail also. Only time I remember trying.

    People haven't cared that my Fire/Kin Troller wasn't level shifted yet, or any one else as far as I've seen. You should be good.

    Yeah, you can do this instead of the arc. His arc isn't that hard on -1/x1, especially if you use insps
