  1. SPOILERS TURN BACK NOW!!



    I recently completed the new story arc and at the end got another letter from our mysterious "man behind the scenes" and the first thought that came to mind was the G-Man from Half Life 2. The cryptic messages, the hints, the whole thing that G-Man has got to be him or this game version of him.

    Would it be weird if we had our own G-Man?
  2. I have a rad/rad I haven't played since late 2005 when binds were the thing to have to change the color texts for your character when they spoke. Jump to 2010 and those binds are still there and unneeded, how do I get rid of them?
  3. I just want female stances to be female and not like guys in game....

    And a Pastrami sandwich on white with all the trimmings would not hurt either.
  4. Thanks for the support on the idea everyone. I really hope others will chime in and support it as well as a dev or two.

    Why? You like seeing people get depressed all at once?
  6. I like to add a suggestion, I have been secretly playing Sims 3 so that my Gal won't know for my own reasons and I have made some of the CoX characters in the Sims and one of the things were a plant/thorn Dominator who has bare feet. One thing I noticed that bare feet sounded like feet on grass and concrete and did not have that universal heavy boot. So I was thinking of adding this to the suggestion boards could we have a sound change so that our foot wear or lack there of matches or is it possible?

    stone - can get to 80+% resist in smash lethal with good slotting and tough
    invulnerability - basically same block as stone for smash and lethal

    No way, I was under the impression that the cap was 70 and no way to make them higher. So he was right.

    Dang it.

    80% defense?

    First sorry meant Damage resist


    I was today talking over builds with friends in game and a buddy mentioned they finally got their Brute over 80% damage resist, confused I spouted "Wait. No brute can not reach over 70 without inspirations". Of course this turned into a argument( friendly tho) about how to slot in a certain way to reach it which I said not according to the forums it is impossible. Question: is it possible to reach 80 or am I stubborn and missed it?

    Hey the promised me I would go into to space.

    I get that. Money is a factor in almost every situation(ask any parent) but it is the eventuality I am talking about. It is that the devs has said we can't do it then, we wait and eventually it will be added, given story purpose as well or those added packs they do.
  12. I do not know how to start this out so I will get to the point. Over the years we have been told alot of the things we wanted could not be done because of limits on tech, conflicts with animation, clipping and money( I think) and thus we would never see any major changes to the game. I think they said we would never see dual pistols, graphics overhauling, new mastermind abilities, whips( sort of), never see Incarnates, new zones, etc, etc.
    Jump to 2010 and now we are seeing things that were then impossible now made possible, so I do not believe it anymore developers. I do not believe a power or a skill set cannot be done or we will "never" see it in game because all the new stuff you said was impossible we now have. So with water zones, full dress(not skirt) robes, new stances, pole weapons and other suggested stuff I am stepping back and say....I can wait, because somehow it will make it in the game someday.

    Someone must have drank it all and everyone is in rehab. I haven't seen any drunks in months.
  14. Best Scifi? Does this mean we finally get the moon base missions? And more Ralaruu threatening to eat reality? Oh, and do we we get new cosmic storylines like they do with Guardians of the Galaxy and the Silver Surfer? Cause I know Annihilus and Thanos will be back looking for a new universe to torment.

    I am guessing she never been to Washington State. Especially around the U-district.
  16. I am finding the same problem tonight, so your not the only one. New computer just can't log in. I can log completely out but if I crash to desktop or switch characters I cannot get back in.
  17. With all the new computer and expansion packs and everything else I am still not getting my money's worth because I play maybe 3 hours a week.

    When GR comes out and Issue 17 maybe I will be playing more.
  18. I think people( the legit ones) complain because they are passionate about the game and see much potential not being used. So I can understand them.

    I have changed out the power supply to a 450 watt since the 9800 and the 220 needed only 400 watts to run it well, and as for the memory I kept it as is because I figured it would serve me. But in truth I got the idea from Maximum PC who had an article to build a gaming PC for 650$ and I sought it out or make it as close to it as possible. So you can guess some compromises had to be made and I spent 100 bucks more than the budget allowed for memory, power, and vid card since noone in my area could build it for that price.

    Frak me! I need to get that card back. Spent the extra 20 bucks for nothing
  21. Amazing I was told the 220 was better than the 9800 so I updated that immediately but I am still hoping to get the 260 or 280 and a bigger power supply, but that's another 150+ dollars away and the Ram was the other I updated. As for bottle necking or rubber banding is barely noticeable so far
  22. Usually this suppose to be in the Suggestion section, but I can understand you want alot of feedback. I like the idea, but I am a sucker for new ATs and more aliens ingame besides Kheldians or Shadow Shard critters. As I said before a comics have used cosmic factions to branch out their universes and I am sure DCUO will do the same, so why not City of get in on the action?
  23. Thank goodness for tax returns and paychecks. Anyways so far I have gotten this far with my new system, but after reading some others posts I am unsure how mine holds up with upcoming GR. So I turn to you all for help:

    You can always try using CoH Helper. It takes the information relevant to CoH and weeds out the overload of information in a DXDiag.

    I was trying to ask that. Thank you for interpreting my lack of sleep babble.

    BTW: dig the Avatar
  25. This is a big jump for me from XP to 7 and I am trying to post the what I have built so far using DXdiag( is it even relevant with the OS?)and Hijack This and I am running into problems, so I am asking what to do to so I can post my rigs information?
