    Alternately, having no flags should make it blue.
    Another way of using the CoV screen is to use the shorter flag -cov

    Actually, that was my first inspiration, but the closest thing we have to the exaggerated version I describe above is more like Jail Bird, for visiting the specific Jail Cell on the Villain Tutorial map.

    And that one generally needs a full team to help take the shields down. The amount of characters that could solo the Pylons is very small.
    I've seen it done both ways, depending on which server I am on at the time or who is hosting it.

    My point is that it's possible to walk to it if you have to by going to the other side. A vertical power isn't necessary.
  3. That trick works pretty much for any "rooted" power. Getting the timing just right is quite tricky though. It's much easier on the "ground" powers than the rest of them in general. Timing has to be perfect to bypass the rooting and animations... so much so that it happens more often by accident than it would on purpose. lol
  4. My junk laptop did the same thing. It's graphics card was some cheap intel thing. Changing drivers did seem to fix it for a while, but it came back again. It currently works fine, but very slow and laggy if I don't turn all the options all the way down. lol

    Your Laptop appears to have the Radeon HD 5650, so i don't know why it would have that kind of trouble, unless you just need to do a driver swap as well.

    thanks
    Well you don't "have to", but you do need to make sure you have less than 5 Major Story Arcs open when you switch if you want to be able to start a new one on the other side. They are the ones marked with the blue bookmark. There does not seem to be a limit on Minor Arcs, the green ones, so don't focus on cleaning those up. Just look at the blue ones.

    Again, you shouldn't need to clear them all, just make sure you have less than 5... unless you want to really be on the safe side and clear them completely. lol

    Either way, your point is made.

    I wasn't sure. I never really looked. It was worth a shot anyway. We have to explain it somehow! lol

    There were several ways listed earlier in this thread.

  9. Have you used the [Coolant] on the Heroside Respec Trial's Reactor at all?

  11. Combative healing allies in missions that you escort out of the mission can sometimes count for credit as well.

    OK New Lab maps

    The lab maps are laggy? I didn't really play the Beta, so I missed the whole thing I guess. lol

    I don't recall any crazy features on those maps, so I don't see why a good card would be required. I guess I'm missing something.

    What we meant was also check your contact list for any that display a Storybook, indicating that there is an active Arc. Icons with the Blue bookmark are Major Arcs. You are limited to how many you can have, which can prevent you from starting another one.
  14. Indeed. It was a quick and smooth run once again. Thanks to everybody involved! See you for the next one!

    Master-Blade, your condescension is not appreciated.
    I was simply saying the post I quoted was correct. I wasn't trying to put anybody down by any stretch of the imagination.

    If it's not working, then the only other things I can think of is you either have too many missions selected (allowed 7) or too many active Major story arcs (allowed 5). Unfortunately, if those happen to be from Heroside contacts, you'll have to become a full Hero again to complete those arcs and free up room to start another one.

    I'm only trying to help. Honest.

    Eco.


    Well here is the link to the US version:
    CoH GR Complete Collection (item_id=209) [European version is 211]

    For just the expansion, change the item_id in the URL to 205. Item Pack is 213.

    If worse comes to worse, maybe you can wire some money to somebody you trust in the states to buy you a copy locally and e-mail you the code. lol

    I hope you (and/or your friend) gets it worked out.
  18. What happens if you change the dropdown in the upper-right corner of the webpage from English(GB) to English(US)?

    THIS.

    The first Patron arcs are lvl 40-50. You cannot be too high to start them.

    The are so presumptuous. I love it!

    On a side note, that one talked in NPC, not local.

    You are crazy. Did I miss something? lol

    Dr. Turgenev currently has 965.

    My primary, Master-Blade currently has 930.

    My secondary, Robin Rogue currently has 906.

    They still have a bunch of work to do though.

    My tertiary toon be Hero. Teal Tabby be at 775, and has yet to go Vigilante yet. Yo-ho! lol

    Glad it went well and you all had fun.
  23. That contact in front of the tower is named Abriter Rein. Clicking on him will allow you to select your patron.
  24. Look for the option for ToolTips and make sure they are enabled. I am pretty sure that setting is saved server-side on each toon, so I don't know why reinstalling would have reset it, but it's worth a shot.

    Options:
    General Tab
    Miscellaneous Category
    (ToolTips)

    Then again, if you just created a new character on the new install, it might not have used your own personal default because you have not designated one yet. In this case, I would log into a character that is set up the way you want your general default to be, and do all the chatsave, wdwsave, optionsave, bindsave stuff to ensure new characters will start the way you want them to.
  25. It looks like you are all full up, but I should be around tonight in case a spot opens up for whatever reason.

    I just want to point out that if you are hosting this from your SG base, the Vigilantes might not be able to enter. Also, characters still in a Hero group that are currently a Villain/Rogue sometimes have trouble getting the list to pop up at the base portal as well.

    Luckily, Silver Mantis is located in Sharkhead anyway, so there is always that other option just in case.

    Good luck everybody!
