I agree.

Alternately, I set up another shortcut to help:
"...\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project coh -maxinactivefps 5

That will skip the updater process and make logging into the second account a little faster. The fps command at the end is designed to keep the inactive window running slower to free up resources to help your active window run more smoothly. As long as you have enough RAM to hold two (or more) instances of the game, you should be fine.

Note:
Even though the shortcut above skips the updater and allows multiple clients to be loaded simultaneously, loading more than one client at once can get buggy sometimes. I've had mixed results with this. It doesn't seem to be consistent. Every once in a while, one of the clients gets really bad performance (even delayed response at the login screen) and needs to be reloaded. For that reason, I second the suggestion above to let one client fully load before opening the next, regardless if you skip the updater or not. That seems to ensure each one is loaded properly. YMMV

I add the maxinactivefps command to all my shortcuts regardless if I'm planning to dual-instance or not. You never know when you'll want to log in another character for something. If you don't add it to your main shortcut, you can use "/maxinactivefps 5" in-game as well. For best results, you must run the command on each and every client instance being run. It's not necessary to run the command again after relogging.

According to the description, it is only increased for defeated enemies.
That being the case, Mission and Arc Completion bonuses would remain the same as it always has been.

Indeed. It was in the same location even on the old forum's layout (except the "English" distinction).

I think the difference now is that we no longer see the names of the forums in each category (unless you use the link to the English subsection), and since people usually get help from other players in the Tech forum, that it would be in the Player Help section instead, and skip right over it.

I agree, and I think this is a pretty nice announcement that should stand out. I don't always check that thread, and seeing this title certainly made me happy.

I admit, I actually did see the news in the other thread first, but only because it was un-stickied and thrown down here with everything else. lol

oh wow.. lol

I like the control I get from using the mouse to steer. I'm not saying it'd better than a gamepad.. but the gamepad doesn't have all the extra keys for lovely binds and other cool stuff.. plus I can actually click on the screen if I'm using a mouse.

Sometimes just for fun I use 0.1 so it'll update every tenth of a second. It goes too fast to read, but it's interesting. haha

Oh.. yep.. I was counting 4 years because that's how long I've played, but the forum account doesn't ding until next month. That makes perfect sense.

He said 20 because it started "log out for a day", so you'd have to log out for 20 more days after that to earn the badge.

I think they fit well and it gave me a good chuckle.

45? wow! I never considered how much mine was currently worth. I think we get 1 point per year, 1 point per 1000 posts, and 1 point for every 100 rep.. so yeah.. I guess that's a nice bonus. lol

Before anybody says anything about me posting this.. the above is a copy/paste from the Dual Pistols Preview Beta in February, and does not imply anything about any possible involvement in the current GR Beta. It simply lists the basic standard rules of Beta. If the Devs happened to have copy/pasted the same set of rules into the GR Beta E-mail, that would not be my fault.


Edit:
LOL @ The Grim Heaper's Fight Club rules. That's a good one!
And Grats on your 4th +rep bub!

Maybe he meant slotting any 2 of the new ones (since they have the same stats), not necessarily a duplicate of the same exact one. Then again, for all I know that isn't allowed either. I dunno..

Official announcement here:

Running any of the arcs unlocks ALL the sets.

You are correct, this is not how it has always worked. It used to restrict you to the patron you unlocked, but it was changed as of i13. Has it been that long since you last did the arcs? lol j.k.. I admit it's been a long time for me as well. I've been running too many heroes. lol


On a side note, I understand the confusion. When this change was released, it was advertised as "Villains can now respec into a different patron pool", but we can also pick any pool we want the first time as well.

Fixed again.

Back on topic:
I only ever target through somebody else if I'm playing on a support toon. I might target a scrapper or a blaster and send attacks to their target. That way, I'm still doing my part to attack the enemy, and still being ready for that quick heal.

Like we said, If you already have Ninja Run turned on when you press W, it'll be reversed. Make sure you don't have it on before you start pressing W.

Reversing the commands wont work correctly unless you have CJ toggled already while standing still.

Nice job guys! Sorry again for having to be absent. I hate not sticking to a planned event. Thanks for hosting the team for me.

Special thanks to Luna for understanding and dealing with it all. I know things can get crazy with so many people to organize, especially when people cancel last minute. I hated having to do that.

Thanks again everybody for letting me deal with real life. lol See you guys next week!

Oh, and while I'm kinda on the subject, the vacation we ended up planning is going to overlap the event on Monday 8/9, so I wont be able to lead that one either. I don't remember off the top of my head what is running that night, but I'm sure you'll be in very capable hands.

Yes you can, provided the mission is not part of a TF, or being run as a TF through Ouro.

To anybody that watches this video (or any video actually), don't forget to also read the summary.

No, because my other character that has the souvenir never ran the MoLGTF. I was simply giving the possibility that the souvenir didn't exist at one point, and only people who have completed the TF after the date it was added/fixed would have it. I used MoLGTF as an example to give a timeframe of when he ran the TF and earned it.. meaning it awards at least since i17. That toon probably had not run the TF since it was released because I use other characters for it, but it's at the ottom of the list, so he didn't have the souvenir before.

If you just ran the TF as recently as this week and didn't get it, then maybe it did break again. I dunno.

TF/SFs treat EVERY member of the team as a mission-holder though. We certainly earn souvenirs without having to lead a team. This is how some of us unlock Katie or Hess TFs, by running a contact's arc through Ouro as a team.
