Maybe the more you don't play the game the more character slots they give you to not play the game with?

[/ QUOTE ]

The game has that already.. but those who are not playing the game don't notice it.

mage users are magic in origin.. Magic invokes Angels, demons, and beings from beyond. Those beings are therefore also magic in orgin.

Not needed as new one.

Aaanyway, back to the topic (again), I'd make SSTF1 shorter.

[/ QUOTE ]
We have a topic?

I would also fix some of costume bugs.(you know... The OBVIOUS ones that Jay have missed(he need more acc) for such a long time)
And have GMs patrol the pvp zones and give people chatbans if they use profanity.(would actually make me start pvping again)

[/ QUOTE ]

eh. so youre saying that villains arent allowed to big bad tempered and foul mouthed? Or can't you handle a bit of profanity?

If any one needs a villain Sg he could fit into with a mercy tp... The court has some room at the moment. It can fit in almost every villain and its not bound to rp in order to become a member.

We have coalitions with the 9 highest active sg's and the base is open.

It would be kinda neat if we could make macros or binds which will change to an identical costume but with wings on when we activate fly power. Would love that feature

[/ QUOTE ]
Well you can - that's what Sugar_Rush is saying - but you can't do it more than once every 30 seconds.

You just need to dedicate two costume slots to both costumes (one with wings, one without) then set up two .txt keybind files - one would load a keybind that toggles on fly and switches to the winged costume (and switches to the other keybind when a certain button is pressed), and the other txt would toggle off fly and switch to the unwinged costume (while loading the first txt file for when the button is pressed again) - then you load up that first keybind file (using /bindloadfile) while in the game and away you go.

I'd have a go at drafting the keybind for you, but it would be horribly limited by that 30second costume change timer so I doubt you'd really want to do it except possibly for RP. Plus I'd need to be in-game to test it - and I'm not at my gaming computer atm.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just made two macro's for this effect...

/macro Wings "powexec_Toggleon Fly$$cc 00"
/macro Human "powexec_Toggleoff Fly$$cc 01"

Npthing more is needed.. (unless I made a typo being at work and not able to check or test)

That’s a good point, but we are talking about the mythology here. It may have a bearing but it has no place in a modern setting. It should have remained a myth.

[/ QUOTE ]

But superheroes and time travel go together - it's a major source of plots and retcons
I'm hoping for a lot more non-modern zones we can travel to - like the Middle Ages or ancient Egyptian - stuff like the pyramids are just asking for a visit - it could be in a zone with the sphinx, and a temple and some of those tombs cut into the rocks.
Or a medieval place with a castle and a town and a forest to explore.
If a villain could time travel, then it's only logical that he would try and alter history to help him in the present - it's what villains do
The game is a sci-fi fantasy, where mythological people and creatures exist alongside modern and futuristic people and creatures, and as time travel is a well-established part of the game, it makes sense to visit periods where there is a lot of strong mythology, like the Greeks and Romans, or Egypt or medieval times.
And don't forget, the costume creator has given us plenty of knights and witches and Egyptian priests and priestesses running around in a modern city - they must have gotten here somehow - it'd be nice forn them to visit home again

[/ QUOTE ]

Over the many years and now several hundred comics that I have collect I can not once re-call a contemporary story line that ever had time travel with in it. Please if you could point one out I would appreciate it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Better time travel comic story lines... bare with me.. totally from memory here...

-Fantastic Four travel to the far future and encounter Nathaniel Richards (redds Father)
-Fantastic Four use Dr. Doom's time machine to travel to the age of Black Beard the Pirate
-Fantastic Four travels to ancient Egypt and battle Kang the conqueror in his early guise
-Dr. Strange travels back to time and visit Benjamin Franklin in the hunt for Cagliostro
-Captain Marvel (Photon) is send back in time by Marie Levaeu to bring her blood of a vampire (Dracula) from an age where vampires still excisted. They have been restored later on in Dr. Strange.
-Dr. Strange travels back in time in search of a soulshart of Morgana Blessing. He ends up meeting the Fantastic Four from afar running around in ancient Egypt. see above.
-The West Coast Avengers travel in time ... one half ending up in ancient Egypt with Fantastic Four and Dr. Strange... another half in the Wild West with Rawhide Kid, Ghostrider, Two-Gun Kid and Kid Colt.
-Two-Gun Kid gets stuck in the future. He gets a lawyer job with She-Hulk.
-The Avengers are send back by the Gamesmaster to battle the Invaders in WWII.
-Zarrko the Tomorrow man (Thor villain) is a time traveller
-Kang the Conqueror (Avengers villain) is a time traveller
-The Black Knight end s up in the body of his ancestor Sir Percy of Scandia and fights in the Crusades.
-Conan comes in a mystic time flux and ends up in modern day New York
-Dr. Strange meets a strange woman from another age who ends up being an exciled Cleopatra. He helps her get back to ancient Egypt.
-A lone warrior from the age of Kang the conqueror ends up in our time. He fights the Hulk.
-Spider-man is send back to the age of King Kull to find an antidote to a special snakevenom.

Above was mentioned Days of Future Past with the X-Men. Bishop.. Cable.. both time travellers... Days of Future P. is a great story line. Good scource. Try to read a bit other comics then X-Men to though

Need I continue????

I can get you all the issue numbers if youre really interested. I have almost all these comics (as in several thousands). Big time comic collector here.

now for DC.. :P
-Legion of Super-heroes...
etc.

Monkey bar in Shark sounds like a valiable plan. Mobs around would be no problem at all with villains... As high level mm's just place their goons outside the door.

This is all in the same zone.. so that should be possible.

As this is a bar too.. it would be easy for the court to gather there if the 1st of the month falls on a freaky friday. Or for the Cadre to have a drink there before they go out for mayhem when their day out falls on a 1st.

He Rose... want to meet with Liz there tonight and check it out?!

The Court of the Blood Countess is a fairly active large SG.. Gothic Horror themed with casual roleplay.

Mature members and a friendy member base.. holding all levels.

As the vacation period is rather slow we have some room freed up and are recruiting. Contact @elizabeth bathory or any random member for an invite.

Its an stand item.. a sone gargoryle you place on the floor. just like the damage crystal item is... That one is a stone Dragon.

I placed both in my base simply because these gargoyles are great items to look at for a gothic horror themed base.

So.. They go on the floor. They both have an area of Effect. ones projects a force field for sg members and maybe destroyable artifacts, the other a damaging circle... good for revealing stalkers for instance.

Just implement Dream world engine, Euphoria engine, J. Lee's Headtracking 3D. hahaha

Sure... I would like a first of the month for instance. And in a dark/broody place.

Mercy is then best... clock tower would be ok... but any place in Mercy would do. I suggest a spot with some benches... Would be nice if there was an outside snackbar or something.

Roleplayers need more love in this game... (We still need to run when we relax and talk to each other too)

I remember the Marvel Comics 'Bar with no name'. It's a bar that villains frequent in NY. I would love an open zone bar we can enter in Mercy. I will be sure it would be better visited by Rp-ers then Pocket D ever was.

Its an item you can place in a room that accepts defence items.

It looks like a griffin / gargoyle and it emits a forcefield that gives extra protection to all sg members in its range. It will also work for the destroyable items underneath it.

That was not excactly what his question was...

I never seen a cost made and on reset not be removed. Also... it's only on one toon. It seems like a small bug on youre toon make-up.

Does it do it still? Even after you exit the tailor and retry. Or after you had changed the weaopon... exit and retry?

If you select a new weapon... you get charged. If you reset charge should be removed.

bummer... I am liable to buy a new gfx card if there are 2 generations further.

That is rather fast... but better then this [censored].

a huge psi defence will make sure he misses so you can get close...

Perhaps one should consider not WHY TAKE TAUNT?, but WHY NOT?


[/ QUOTE ]Because every single power in my build is more useful than it, and there are still several other powers that would be, but don't fit in.

As for taunting far-away mobs off squishies, I've found that a fire ball in the face does the job quite well.

[/ QUOTE ]

For this reason my tank will get some laser vision.. which also holds some taunt btw. I just like the animation and concept better.

[ QUOTE ]
I didnt say it was logical

I didnt say it was possible

It is, however, the mantra of a true tank!

EVERY DEATH BUT MINE OWN IS MY FAULT!

NO EXCEPTIONS!

NO EXCUSES!



[/ QUOTE ]

And then.. then you play villains. And there is no tank

And... behold... the team still survives.

[ QUOTE ]
If my job is to secure the team and someone says A is 3* better security than B, then I'm going to choose A every time. Is it strictly neccasery who can say but I'd rather err on the side of caution than choose B and find out latter that it wasn't quite good enough. Hey buts that's just my 0.02 inf worth.
Taunt also deals with other situations much better than just squishes getting rushed, quickly grabbing aggro from widely spread groups, Abrutly bringing ambushes under control, Those split group moments when you need to be in two places at once, establishing control at distance so a stormy say can safely use kb and you can avoid a hard melee Alpha, grabbing Aggro quickly from an AV your blaster just pulled so it doesn't 2 srike him, pulling aggro from a second tank or other taunter who needs help, truely the list goes on. If your a jump into a group hope it all works out sort of tank then yes taunt is probably of little use to you however if you consider the myriad of things that could go wrong and still consider it your job to defend your team to the best of your ability then A1 bro IMO taunt will be an invaluable servant.

[/ QUOTE ]

First of all... I consider every member I can get for a team that uses his mind a valid member. This game is all about fun and not about ueber team builds.

Aside if that... I hope thet the teams defender is the one defending

[ QUOTE ]
a - no power in this game is really 'needed'. Even stamina could be done without if you slot for end reduction
b - every team is able to finish every mission if youre use team play and smarts. Some will take ages longer. But you will get there.
c - if you faceplant from attacking... you would have done so alone too. Don't blaim you're team mates for youre mistake... and as suc... don't blaim the tank. Taunt of no taunt.

We are not bound to specific team builds. Time and time again I noticed that in COX its far less important then WOW for instance.

ps. My tanker made 43 now.. without taunt. SS/Inv, and I never missed it. And no team member noticed it missing. If I think it fits the toon concept oir I have a slot free to distribute I will take it, other wise not. I will prob get it on my willp brute later in the higher levels.

All can make their own choices and team members calling me names because of my choices that I made on purpois are just not social or themselves terrible players. In such a way they need a god team to survive.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you post that reply to me deliberately and if so for what reason? I don't appear to be last reply or owner post.

[/ QUOTE ]

neehh.. It was to the whole issue of 'needing' a power or a team member. That always bugged me. I like creativity. And I hate the .. 'we-need-a-tanker' or 'we-need-a-healer' remarks... long before the team actually tried to think about their tactics.

[ QUOTE ]
You can keybind it manually though... /bind <key> /cc 4 should do it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know.. that still doesnt change the fact that the fifth line should be there... It may be an oversight but it is not correct. And I would like to have it bound to NmLck + 5 if that is possible.

The site states he is working on a new version of the drivers... hope they will help.

The Omega drivers managed to crash my complete computer one time... and dual screen is not recognised... But in this case I know where it comes from and how to fix. Better then not able to game on my game pc.

What I at least one to see is a stupid bug fixed.. You can place slot 0-3 on keybinds in the option menu. But you can't place the 5th slot. They hasnt added that one in the option menu when it came available.

OK I didnt have any problems at all last night so things are looking up (Usually happens 2-3 times a night).

I firstly uninstalled all nVidia drivers.

Then booted my machine in safe mode (press f8 whilst posting).

I then ran Driver Cleaner Pro (As FFM said earlier in the thread 1.5 can still be downloaded for free with a little seach using google)

Then whilst in safe mode I installed the latest Omega Drivers (I downloaded them previously from here. At this point I should really point out that these drivers are unsupported by nVidia and if you have any worries about using them you probbably shouldn't) The reason I installed them whilst in safe mode is that Vista installs some stuff for the 8800 when it starts up and wanted to make sure I was using the omega drivers for all of the software.

Restarted my machine, and am running the game on max settings with 60fps and so far no crashes.

If the crash number changes I will post in here.

Thanks

Dit this and my stability became much better. Its not completly gone.. but now its playable.
