  1. My bad luck story: broke hand beginning of August so let sub-lapse on 26th August as I could not use a mouse. Had no idea CoH was closing until trying to re-sub in September... if I've got this right I missed perma-VIP by 5 days?

    Now I have only 1 spare global slot and 40 characters to choose from along with 1800 points. I'd like to use more of my chars, but I also want to use my IOs so need to buy that licence.

    So is there anyway of getting VIP status back on the cards? For premiums or those willing to spend points/cash? Or do I have to work out the best IO/global slot combo with my points? Can I even spend points?
  2. Cannot find anything recent, except just now about 2 threads below mine but that is a farming request. I like my guy right now in the 20s, but am expecting him to get squishier in the 30s (and die lots in the 40s).
    I would like to make a viable playing build.

    Attaching mids, my thinking on the build is softcap E/N def, reasonable S/L def. Reasonable resists. Cry when I play the Dark Astoria arcs and encounter cold damage. I took a slot from each resist to put into Burn for E/N def and more utitility from it.

    Positional defence seems impossible on Spines/Fire so I went typed.
    This is not my current build, but a planned respec as using mids seems to show that swopping the Overwhelming set to Spines and slotting Blazing Aura as it is is better for end with Spines using way more than BA. I presumed it would be the auras draining me more.

    Little global recharge, but with auras I hope to be reasonably constant damage. For end management I could drop a slot from Weave and put it in health for the numina proc. Or maybe into Healing Aura as the end cost seems high.

    I'm sad about the lack of epic pool usage, had thought Fiery Embrace and Fire pool would be fun. I'm playing a Fire/Fire brute so will try that as F/F/F

    Any tips appreciated. Throw spines might be a bit strange slotting.
    Tell me that power X is the best and needs better slotting etc.

  3. Just emailed you in-game

    Edit: Which thinking about it if you cannot send emails tell me server and toon name and I'll pop on
  4. Post your global and I'll pm ingame. Should be on about 6pm GMT
    Sorry, I know it is more complicated but I like seperating Forum and game personalities.
    This way I get to be differently stupid on each.
  5. Any joy? European here if still not working
  6. Er, as there are 28 pages and I got lost somewhere around the third, does all this Math mean I should buy the store Hecatomb or not?
    And where should the proc go now (and other Store procs)? A slow recharge power? A quick? An AOE?
    I was just coming to understand the 4 PPM enhancer needs to go in something with a 15-16second base recharge to proc every time.

    [My wish would be for the SBE to be the same as the crafted version, though I guess the game would not change so much and people wouldn't be encouraged to buy/respec]
  7. The double purple for Sutter and the Respec thing has been going for a few days at least. I asked about it in Help chat once and was soundly ignored, so didn't pursue it.
  8. Yes it is on most. Again with little point besides being a misclick opportunity.

    Yes, delibrately not logging on with character, but it resets his time to zero days every 15 days (which is what I set SG demote as) hence he does not get demoted. I'll respec, pull enhancements and delete him, hopefully I wont end up with a ghost SG leader...

    Buff bar below hp bar had buffs showing up as Self-destruct rather than Shields etc. Only a one off and I know it is similar to another bug, had not heard of it showing as self-destruct though.
  10. Not even sure why it is there... okay obviously so devs can sell salvage in Paragon Market.

    Currently it is next to the 'close window' X and gets pressed a silly amount of times.

    At the same time, make the close window X a lot bigger please.
  11. Trying to keep my SG leader offline for 15 days to demote him, it keeps logging him in when the 15 days are up, ie it resets time not logged in to zero days.

    Had powers registering as Self-destruct -do not have this power

    Creating a new character puts all channels in tabs into one, ie the TAB 1 2 3 4 windows all ended up in Help
  12. And to actually answer the OP question. No there do not seem to be other arcs anymore. Unfortunately it is the same blueside with no origin specific arcs anymore.
    It is why I sewer run until the mid-teens to at least try and get to a poinit where I can go different paths with my toons. Though it still falls into Midnighter's>Faultline>Talos more often than not.
    Occasionally I dip into IP but the old school style of having contacts in the very edges of the map soon breaks me.

    My grumble: they took out variety in early levels, but left in the 'Go talk to the' .... missions that are completely out of context blueside. Either sending you off to Hollows or to talk to the Warburg liason. Embarrassing when you are running a team and that is all you can pick up from every contact.
  13. I have read some threads and think I'm there, but would like a confirm before trying again.

    So I followed the wiki http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Test_server and went the route of copying my CoH folder and pointing the install to the directory. After a 700mb download I am now the proud single player on the Eu Test Server... ooops.
    Can make new characters, but buying Beam, Street or Titans does not make them appear on character creator screen.

    So instead of the Eu test server I should use the CoH Beta Server link on the Launcher? I try to interrupt it but it always deletes the folder.
    Do I try it as above, ie make a copy of the CoH files and point the install there? It did not seem to work either.

    Or basically do the full 5GB install? Does this gain me access to Titan which basically is what I want to try before buying tomorrow?
  14. I cannot remember, has anyone mentioned the community is brilliant in the last 5 minutes
  15. Well, there are a lot of powers that would be better perma, so I was wondering if there was anything on how to get there.

    Wiki has the classics which instantly helped me
    Quote:
    A few common Perma-able powers:
    • Permahasten - Hasten needs a total of +275% Recharge
      • 205% after Hasten's own +70%, 110% after 3 recharge SOs for ~95%
    • PermaDP - Dull Pain needs a total of +200% Recharge
      • 105% after 3 recharge SOs for ~95%
    • PermaDom - Domination needs a total of +123% Recharge
      • Unable to slot enhancements so it must all be buffs or set bonuses
    I want more, so the recharge page has a forumula and an explanation:

    Quote:
    Reductions to recharge rate do not apply intuitively. A recharge rate buff of +100% or more does not make the power recharge instantly. Instead, use this formula:
    RechargeTime = BaseRechargeTime / ( 100% + Buffs - Debuffs )
    where Buffs includes all bonuses mentioned above. A 100% enhancement thus cuts the recharge time in half. A 200% enhancement cuts it by two thirds. Since the enhancement is in the denominator, it is subject to diminishing returns — the more you add, the less each new amount helps.
    I was hoping to find a different formula where I can slot in the time of power's duration and its time to recharge and come up with how much recharge I need to get there.
    I mean for things such as Mind Link or Tar Patch, which can be found by playing about in Mids, but I was hoping for a less intensive non-Mids solution to knock around with.
    Feel free to point me at the guide I missed that has lots of powers listed.

    Some day I will work on a perma-dom and maybe finally enjoy the AT, but for now this would be enough.

    Also, does perma-hasten still have the small end-crash? So auto-hasten could be a bad idea in some cases?
  16. Yup done my EAs, shield defence is positional so no point?
    WP and Regen wont get that much benefit? Or would it be possible to get them to soft-cap with enough Kinetics and other powers? Same with Res based sets like Fire Armour?
    Too many alts, so I'm not doing them all, but I might buy another toon or two set of 5.
    About 15 hours left I think...
  17. So we all agree that the KD proc from Kinetic is useless?
    Now what should I drop for the LOTG set or are there powers worth the full set of 6? Only ever hear recommendations for 1,2 or 4 slotting LOTG.
  18. Yep, seen that -hence thinking might as well buy even more of say 4 of each rather than less of a full set of 5 if I only really want 4.
  19. Could people recommend powersets/powers that would benefit from slotting either fully? Or are they basically 4 slot kinetics and and either 1,2 or 4 for LOTG depending on what you wanted?

    It look like LOTG would maybe be worth it fully slotted on chars with psi resist holes? And then Kinetics are best on powersets that are typed rather than positional? (I do not know which armours are which and did not find an easy page on wiki)

    What should I not slot? The proc in kinetic? Typically the def/recharge in LOTG?

    Anybody have experience with purchased sets? What happens if you accidentally drop another IO over a Paragon Market version? Does it magically reappear or have you just deleted it forever?
  20. I would like to avail myself of this offer, but as this is the payee thread rather than the begee I am not sure how.
    Though I am sure I will be slapped as I am not sure I can even spend the 50 mill.
    I suffer greatly from altitis and have SGs on several servers now: Defiant, Union and since re-subbing Virtue has become my most active. Unfortunately I thought of some new characters and have now dipped my toe into the cess-pool that is Freedom (seriously, people are potty-mouths on that server). I know the last two are the busy servers but that is why I went there -coming from Defiant it was a change (not necessarily for the better with regard to Freedom :P)

    tldr; I play a character for about 30 minutes before switching so am not producing inf, levelling or doing whatever I should be doing on the market to produce the money but I like my little SGs.

    I've created SGs with storage space, but am struggling to get to the teleporter level -even personal vault with power and control is out of my reach for now.

    I will burn some of my own inf if you tell me to (wow, that was hard to write)
  21. Only other program running is MS virus protection. Have tried it with that switched off, still crashes. Like I say can play fine for a few hours, or crash quicker, but never immediately.
    Hmmm, temperature maybe?

  23. I know my rig is ancient, but I was playing CoH reasonably enough at the beginning of the year. Since coming back I presume some new function in the game is affecting me.

    Repeatable crash that I have now learnt not to do, but may be related. Going up two lvls, eg level up to 5 add the enhancement slots and then quickly click on lvl up again and start to choose your 6th lvl power the game crashes when the lvl 5 contacts pop-up. Does not do this if I only level up to 5.

    Other crashes are far more random. The latest was me superspeeding in City Hall in Atlas -I hope it is not a speed of travel/graphics draw problem. Like I say I have a bit of game lag, and mothership raids are an amusing still life picture but never used to actually crash on me

    Clipboard text from the latest crash -possibly out of Virtual memory? - I was allowing Windows to control it, but have customed sized it to 2 gigs as per forum suggestion.
    Also should I have Virtual memory on both partitions of my hard? I didn't and CoH is on the second partition.

    ./piggs/stage3f.pigg: Failed memory allocation
    Read failed for file: texture_library/WORLD/organizations/phalanx/interior/phalnx_cielingglow01.texture
    -1
    The game ran out of memory and must now exit.

    Either that or because ceiling is spelt wrong in the piggy file...

    I remember someone mentioning watching sunrises.
    Anyone got favourite spots?
  25. I would like to set up a second account to flesh out my SG memebership.
    I would also like to refer myself and get the 'free' month.

    Has anyone done this? (and could they break it down into how they did it please -small words if you could)

    Do you need to refer someone on a different email? A different payment plan, ie not the same paypal or debit card? A different pc?

    Sure there were more questions as I thought about it.
    Thanks.
