They can either be "tethered" to characters (in which case there's often just two hanging around the shoulders), or can be free ranging (in which case, they're very will-o-the-wispy). They are however always shown as "fire" ... albeit a "ghostly flame" in appearance (ie. a dead person's soul).

That is most definitely *NOT* the Wisps Aura that we already have.

And just so you know, Tunnel Rat ... Hitodama flames for dead characters in anime have been animated, on more than one occasion, with only 2 frames so as to give minimal movement (and because it's cheaper). If you have any questions about this sort of thing, I'm *SURE* that someone on staff is enough of an anime fan to supply you with clips from anime to look at as reference for what I'm talking about. It's a fairly standard anime trope used as a cue to either indicate Death State ... or Depression so deep the character wishes they were dead.

Got into the NC Launcher properties and add this to the end of it (outside the " " makrs)

/LaunchGame=CohTest

Once thats run, it will install US test and update it. You then delete it from the launcher properties and, voila, you're set.

Also, Zwill, the new faces look waxy, shiny and very very disturbing.
Wanna know why?
I think they are using reflections. I was twisting and turning them in the CC, and there was some sort of ripple effect that looked very like the reflection you get in metal. Might want to let the art team know before this goes life. It's very uncanny valley right now

Bug #1: The texture of the shirt sleeves doesn't even come close to matching any available texture for jackets OR the shirt that's showing underneath either of the vests.

Bug #2: There is a huge perceptible gap between the sleeves and the body, with all of the jackets and all of the vests.

I don't know if they increased from the PS generation to the PS2 generation because I was quite young at the time, but as for the change from the PS2 to the PS3 generation, most games cost more now. Portable games cost $35 or higher now (unless the game in question totally sucks) as opposed to $30 like they were in the day of the game boy advance. PS3 and Xbox 360 games cost $60. Wii games still cost $50 like games did in the previous generation, but there are far fewer Wii games than PS3 and 360 ones. Not to mention that the Wii's technology isn't all that much better than the previous generation's, so it most likely costs about the same to make a Wii game........Anyways, to get to the topic at hand, the pack sounds awesome and I can already think of a few characters that could use parts from it. I agree that alternate animations for the /traps and /devices sets would be great. Maybe if we players mention it enough it will happen (hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge). I also love the travel power, finally I have a way to justify why my "natural" character is somehow able to travel in ways that aren't possible for normal humans.

Restarting CoH fixes the problem but it comes back after so long.
Its defo not an overheating problem as the gfx never goes over 60c.
Its a new Win 7 install with a new motherboard and memory has been checked with memtest.
Plenty of PSU power to (650W).

Anyone got any idea's ?

This was my entry…

[cool screen]

This took me 3 days and over 200 screen shots (that white line in the monorail only appears like that when the sun hits it just right for a few seconds every hour or so and there was a pesky mob I had to keep killing near the speedboat). And yes, I had just finished watching the Doctor Who "Don't Blink" episode when I started this.


Now, let's see yours!

Also this NPC can be pretty much whatever, there are no specific guidelines as to what the NPC has to conform to right??

oh and could we have a little info on this studio 55 thing, wouldn't want to end up making a giant semi-mechanical werewolf if studio 55 is supposed to be a chocolate factory or something...

Another thread suggested cross-server teaming, which would be a massive can of worms being opened. How do they reconcile this with global server names, server-specific names and so on?

Still, I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
