Ice/Fire is a powerful combo, so is Ice/WarMace.
Lots of AOE in both secondaries. -
Quote:My Dark Armor stalker handles Devouring Earth like any other foe. I'm resistance based, so I get hit, when a crystal is spawned, as much as when a there is no crystal.On my Kat/SR who is soft capped with procced out attacks and DA for tanking, can run lots of enemy groups no problem. Then he runs into Devouring Earth with the Guardians and their "you have no defense" power. I have to save BU for them, turn on my stealth sprint and pray I hit them before they summon anything. And if there are 2 guardians in a spawn? Scramble!
My absolutely uber in every way MA/SR scrapper, has to kite them to survive. Even with T4 Alpha and T3 everything else. One crystal is enough to do him in.
So what do we take from this?
Every power set has its kryptonite.
I love both of my characters, Im glad they're different. And in certain situations, the stalker outshines the scrapper.
But if Im in a mission that would not be difficult for either to survive, yes the scrapper clears it faster. But the stalker's way is more style, more a feeling of accomplishment. Maybe a few extra clicks to get the job done. -
I had this problem about a week and a half ago and thought it might be heat related. An in game friend suggested I try this program called open hardware monitor, it monitors the temps of the main processors and gpus.
It is located here.

A few days after, I awoke and the PC would not power on at all. Ended up being the PSU died.
With this software, I noticed a dramatic reduction in GPU temp with the new PSU installed. My guess was that as the PSU was in the process of failing, not enough power was getting to the fans to spin them fast enough to cool.
I would get a PC reboot every time some heavy graphics occurred like is happening with you. -
Welcome back, LadyMage. I do remember thee as well.

I run that mission with a Fire/WM tank and he kills just fine. I use Burn, Whirling Mace, Crowd Control, Shatter -- 2 AoE's ; 2 cones -- they all fall down.
I only run it until I max out tickets, then buy rare salvage that I'm low on. -
I'll try Ice. I had one /Nin but ended up deleting it at 26. I play Dark Armor and Regen.

Thanks. I made a macro button to kill my pets if I need to now

Is it perhaps me being mistaken that the slot is not categorized this way, and just the card?
My mobo is an ASUS P5BW-LA, and it just says the slot is PCI-Express X16, not v1.0, v1.1 or v2.0.
Maybe only the cards are categorized this way. -
I had this happen to me yesterday while running an ouroboros flashback set of missions (task force?), to get Alexander Pavlidis to surrender.
When it came time to kill 35 Family, I decided to zone from north indy to bricks then gate to south indy to get to family that was high 20's. The pets just stood at the gate. I released them, resummoned but they didnt resummon.
I decided to run down into the magic store in south indy. Then resummon. Didnt work. They eventually just entered the store and stood there.
I logged off this character, onto another character, on another server, then back. Same unresponsive pets appeared when I relogged back into the magic store, except they were standing by me.
I ended up logging off for about an hour. Then came back and the pets could actually be resummoned.
I didnt know about the slash command mentioned earlier. I usually just click them and hit x. How is this slash command different? Would that have worked for me? -
What are the differences between a PCI Express x16 slot, and a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot?
Does that just mean the card will take up 2 slot spaces?
I put in a new power supply that has the capability of powering a new generation of video card, up from my current NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT. But I only have one PCI Express x16 slot on my mobo.
Would a card, like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...annel&CMP=OTC- this one, not work at all?
If it doesn't, can someone suggest a vid card that would? -
You can't use it on Fireball, as that is a targetted AoE power which would require something like a Positron's Blast set. (which is also reasonable) You can only use Thunderstrikes on single target attacks that accept ranged damage sets.

Well maybe its only the people that have visited Null the Gull, when they're on your team, that are causing the errors? We're you showing up fine for everyone else?
None of my characters on live have visited Null, and I haven't had any zone peculiarities. Of course, I was only on two or three teams since the update, so my chances of seeing this have been small. -
So you think this has something to do with Null the Gull options, Quinch?
-
Hover also gets a good boost from Steam Jump, if you have the steampunk pack.

My old Inv/ is still pretty much frankenslotted and/or common IOs.
When we got inherent fitness, I took the passives and kept them a 1 slot.
With Tough and Weave running, and Tough Hide 3 slotted, 6 mobs surrounding me in melee, I am at both the S/L resistance cap, and 45% S/L defense.
This also includes T3 cardiac Alpha slot. -
Quote:I wont be abandoning my SG either, but the teleporters will be inaccessible while Im on the new server. There is no reason a vip player should have to hunt all those location badges again, and collect and build teleporters again.Very few players will be abandoning their current servers. The VIP server is nothing more than a new server with access restricted to active accounts. Anyone desperate for a huge base right awat can simply create some Praetorians and powerlevel them up to 20 and recruit them into their new SG/VG.
Each Praetorian gives the first SG/VG they join 100k prestige.
Players can also convert inf to prestige, and it will be good for the economy to get some of that extra inf out of the game.
If the dev team gave any inclination they were intending on upgrading bases in the future I would not suggest this. It is silly to have to unlock this old content again to play on a new server. Base copying, I have suggested in the past as well, is also an option. As long as the salvage doesnt come with it. That should have to be emailed over. -
Here's a solution for the OP. As soon as possible after you get that purple recipe, email it to your global. Then its out of your inventory and you dont have to worry about accidentally deleting or selling it.
-
Since too many people will have to abandon their long standing SG and VG bases to move to the new VIP server, can that server only have an expanded Ouroboros teleportation feature. From Ouro ship to ANY zone in the game? Well from blue side ouro ship to any blue side zone(even Pocket D and the Hive), and from red side ouro to any red side zone accessible zone (even Pocket D and Monster Island).
This would make the loss of base usage a bit easier to take. Loss of Base storage I can deal with through email, and I can still build a cheap base on the new server for invention table access only. -
Quote:I'd believe you except this started happening before I even knew snipping tool existed. For over 6 years now I have played this game, and saved screenshots automatically using the print screen button. (3 years on this particular PC) Perhaps its just my keyboard that is faulty. Using the ingame slash command /screenshot continues to put screen captures into the correct folder.A windows utility tool like the "Snipping tool" or a 3rd party screencapture application with it's own settings may actually be the cause of your problems.
I have an application like the snipping tool(so I've heard) for my Windows XP, it's default capture key is printscreen. If I accidentally leave it open and try to take a screenshot in CoH it will be handled and saved into the application's save directory instead of CoHs. -
I may just start using the snipping tool as it lets me resize right over top of the CoH window.
-
I see. The /screenshot command is working. Dunno why Print Screen button is not. Yes. I am on Vista.
-
I have always used the Print Screen button on my KB to take screen dumps that have gone automatically into my /CityofHeroes/screenshots/ folder. However, this has stopped happening. Now it seems Print screen doesn't do anything. I have check my keymapping, and Print Screen is still selected to take jpg screenshots, so I don't know what else to check. Anyone else have this problem before and can help me correct this?
