Technically that might be considered be too easy to get. There are already inf badges anyway... but to add to that idea, something that's not tradeable: how about for hitting the Merit Reward cap?

I can get behind this one, with the stipulation that he must not con gray to you when you do (ie, must still be that lvl or EX'd down). Since it's technically a zone event, we should have an alert for it too. haha

It's most likely just a side-effect of the test/beta servers being behind by "up to 48 hours". When you create or reactivate an account, it can take up to 48 hours before you are allowed access to the test/beta servers. Even though your suspension has now been reversed, the test/beta server hasn't received word of it yet. You still had access to Beta during your suspension for the same reason. I'm sure you'll be back up and running in no-time.

So what did they accuse you of to begin with anyway? Either way, it's nice to see they turned it back on before Monday.

OMG there is going to be 2 of us? d00000m! lol j.k

That is crazy stuff. This being the weekend, you're right about it probably not being resolved "soon", but hopefully they make their way around to you quickly. I'd be pissed if that happened for sure. It was bad enough when 2 of my main characters got generic'd.

Hope to see you back ASAP!!

That's why I asked as well. It seems they do have them reversed. All 3 from each TF have the names as if they are from the other one. I'm updating now to see if it's "fixed" already or not.

Edit:
Nope. Providing the OP is right, the names are still "reversed". It seems there is some trickery going on. lol

This is what I was going to mention too. Any number of aspects of your own machine are responsible for loading.. once the screen changes from the CoH splasher to the loading screen and the bar starts moving, your character is already entering the zone/mission.. you just need to finish loading it. Processing power, disk reading and memory availability are probably the biggest factors.

This is pretty much what I was going to say.

I'm the same person.. I replied to myself when I did more direct testing of your specific scenario.
And you are welcome.

As for your CPU overclocking, even if you think you can go to 3.2 safely, make sure you have the cooling for it. Even though the unit itself might be able to be stale at 3.2, you don't want to assume your case and possibly standard CPU fan can keep up with it.

And as for your lag at the higher World Detail.. try checking out the Sticky at the top of this forum. It might help you tweak the custom video settings a bit more to see which settings might be more important to you for better performance. Good luck!

I just went to the same location as your video:
Imperial City (-1335 -32 -1710) facing West.

I've come to the conclusion that your World Detail is set at 100%. My regular settings are at 200%, but I have a command I regular run that sets it to 400%. I have to move back quite a considerable distance before I see the same change you do. I backed up so far trying to get it to change at 400% that I ended up zoning into Nova Praetoria by accident. lol

If you are using a Graphics Quality of Ultra, you are probably defaulted to 100%, so you'll have to enable the Advanced Settings to get the World Detail silder and move it any higher, or you can use the slash command:
/visscale 2.00

The bind I have that I regularly run is /visscale 4.00, which is where the game will cap it. It automatically changes back to 2.00 (200%) if you restart the client or open the graphics options though.

If you wanted to test it at 150% without going into the options menu, you can just run /visscale 1.50
The game should accept any values from 0.500000 (50%) to 4.000000 (400%).

I hope that info helps you tweak it to your liking.
On a side note, I wonder whose idea it was to make 100% the default for Ultra anyway. That particular option should be 200% at Ultra for the very reason the OP made this post... any while we're on the subject, if the game allows for 400% World Detail, isn't it about time they "support" it by putting the option in the menus and allowing it to persist between game sessions?

As I mentioned in another thread, any of the multiple flight powers, including temporary flight packs like the [Raptor Pack] will easily free you from [Caltrops] (providing you aren't also under the -fly effects of a [Web Grendade]).

Carrying one around makes [Caltrops] a non-issue.

I just monitored them with the [Power Analyzer mk III]

Apparently they have a power called [Unreliable Stealth] which gives them a 45ft Stealth Radius. It seems to automatically toggle on/off every 5.5s (roughly), regardless of status.

With no buffs of any kind, it clears my target every time they fade. When I have Tactics on I can still target and attack them the entire time.

I just tested this.. They still fade, even while Held, and all foes in the same spawn rotate at the same interval.

After a quick update to 10.10, I logged back into the same character and made sure the Video settings were still set on "Ultra". I once again browsed the Ouroboros missions without any issues.

My question for you, is does your Contact list load correctly while viewing Ultra mode? Selecting an arc is the point where the Contact's image is displayed. As I'm sure you know, that image is actually a 3d rendering of the contact standing in a separate 3d environment. I'm wondering if that's where the real issue is coming from. It still doesn't explain why it happens, but it would get us closer to the underlying cause.


On a completely unrelated note, I thought it was cool that there was an Advertisement for Going Rogue displayed while i was installing the new driver, so I took a screenshot. lol
