Kitsune Knight

The i17 Villain arcs I think take the game in a GREAT direction. By and large you're STILL just smashing, but you get to make various choices in-mission, as well as have conversations with people in the missions. I think the game could use a LOT more of that, along with some missions that are even more in-depth than those. Something like 45% SMASH, 35% i17 style, and 20% more in-depth would probably give more depth to the game while still allowing lots of smash.

The devs have done a great job renovating the engine to allow far more powerful missions, and I hope they keep up the great work.

Tell that to my army of clones. They thought killing me would stop me. They thought killing me a half dozen times would stop me! But oh, WERE THEY WRONG!





(god damn EIGHT stacked caltrops and constant Smoke Flashes every time I got one low! )

Any card that can run CoX in UM will have zero problem with TF2 (it's quite reasonable on the graphics) and should be quite good with Aion (ugh, grind fest extreme!).

Edit: Wait a second, I'm pretty sure Inspirons are only laptops... if your machine is a laptop, it's EXTREMELY unlikely you could change/upgrade your graphics.

Edit 2: So there's Inspiron desktops now? Ugh... I had enough of Inspirons with the pile of crap known only as the 5150...

Possibly the first fix didn't quite work as well as they thought.

You should ask your brother and friend what they did and what exactly the problem was. If they joined a good while back using Vista, then that could be why they had to do something special (back before the compatibility cursor was added and all that).

Upping the graphical settings means the game has to load more data from disk, so longer loading times it to be expected. Get a Solid State Drive if you want to make the loading times a LOT faster without lowering graphical settings.

1.) Post the output here. Many of the people here have seen loads of them so will be much better at spotting any potential issues. Plus, without them we're just entirely shooting in the dark.
2.) You do NOT need the CDs to install CoH. Unless they're very recent, it'll likely take at least as long as using the Updater to download the game from scratch (here's the linky to the Windows version and Mac version, or if you're EU, EU Windows version, and EU Mac Version).

It would be rather disingenuous to call it 'soloing'.

Kinda obvious but... City of Heroes isn't running, right? Double check by pressing ctrl+shift+escape to open Task Manager, click on the 'Processes' tab, then click on 'Image Name' to sort by the process name, and see if 'cityofheroes.exe' (or a shortened form) is listed. If it's on the list, select it and then press 'End Process', then the updater should work fine.

I'm on 7 (and prior, Vista) and haven't had to change anything with the shortcut because its long since been fixed. I'd guess it's most likely unrelated to 7/Vista, and maybe an issue with the video card's drivers (often the cause). CohHelper can create a summary of the information about your system and identify some issues to post on the boards, it should help us track down whatever problem you're having.

You can be within range of FS without being in Melee range (it's AoE is actually fairly sizable). And going in to get a FS doesn't mean you must stay there.

Thankfully, if you take the character casually up to 50, the markets should be merged by the time you start heavily investing into IOs.

I did one just the day before yesterday and got about 600 (went from 580 to ~1180). That's also the number I regularly see quoted as the amount people get for raids I skip (yay for global channels!).

If it's a challenge you want, then go with an Elec/Elec Blaster

You need to go inside the Application bundle (IIRC, it's one of the right mouse button menu options), then navigate down several directories that look similar to the path on Windows.

It'll either do nothing or disorient yourself (yourself is your target for Stamina, after al). In the past, you could put it in Speed Boost and be able to randomly disorient people, but they fixed that hole a while back, but I'm not sure if they also made it so you couldn't stun yourself.
