Or just turn them all around. Start over from the 3 month...

Not Dedicated
Not Dependable
And so on.

Frankly, my only worry with Vet Rewards is "What happens when they run out of adjectives?"
-
I'm just pleased that this was announced. This means there's a patch coming. It's been so long, Paragon Studios. Please, let me see the announcement that my 'Apply' bar will have purpose again!
Also Vet reward additions usually get implemented with a content patch. So let's keep our fingers crossed! -

So I guess around 30 days to report, identify and fix a (potentially) multi vendor bug isn't too bad...
I guess the moral of the story is that CoX needs more mac beta testers.
Also 30 days for a bug is pretty damn incredible. If we were under Activision, it'd take at least another patch and/or two months of people making the switch from bug-reporting to annoying whining. -

The same way my launch character mysteriously obtained a new attack power when they released the origin-specific attacks years later.
To be honest, I haven't tried walking yet. I just heard about it tonight - but I'm so excited! I can't wait to get back home after work and try it out. Alas, I'm busy for the next two evenings so completing missions without due haste shall have to wait until the weekend.
Checked my trays, my power list, nothing at all. -

I have been waiting YEARS for this! (Checks to make sure it's not April 4th...)

How exactly does a level 50 get the walk power? Been trying my damnedest to figure it out. *3 year idiot question* -
Quote:I'm running a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro (the generation just before the unibodies). I have 4 GB of RAM.Originally Posted by CuppaManga
60%-80% CPU usage is normal, both for Windows and Mac. The problems you describe though sound like a RAM shortage, which is exactly what happens when you run multiple applications at once with very little memory installed.
If you want to run that much you're probably going to need 4 GB.
See, here's the thing. The previous Cider wrapper didn't do this for me. I could run at about... 50% CPU usage. It was streamlined as far as performance but caching Pocket D (or other high-poly zones) was another issue. This new client wrapper is just nasty. My specs are fine, and I have plenty of HD space as well. -
To begin, I want to point out that I have no freaking idea what the "mousebug" is. I've had no trouble at all. Then again, I diskwarrior and repair my permissions frequently and/or before every install, so...
But the thing that's bothering me with the mac client right now (and this is huge. HUGE) is the amount of CPU and memory the current cider wrapper is gulping down whenever I start CoX. I'm running at 80% CPU on bad days, and 60% on good. I can barely run any app on the side apart from iChat, and asking Safari to work usually takes an act of god.
Now yes, the new client wrapper is way better. Smooth, easier loading, etc., but at the cost of making my machine an utter piece of crap (which it very much is not).
Are we going to see an end to this? Will the mac playerbase see a more efficient cider patch that doesn't take away the new performance? -
Quote:Doom. Doom doom, doom doom doom.Originally Posted by UnSub
I agree with this.
A lot of people here are coming on highly buzzed from the new info released, but the devil is always in the details. Such as what rewards you get for staying as a hero / villain - right not it seems that becoming a Praetorian offers the best of all worlds. Or how hard is it for you to swap over from one side to the other.
Plus powersets are highly dependent on their effectiveness. Dual Pistols looks good, but if the best path is to keep everything slotted as toxic then that is exactly what is going to happen.
The 1-20 zone thing is also a bit issue. How long does it take to leave the lvl 1 - 20 experience? Not long. I really do expect to see another announcement of lvl 21 - 40 content (at least, if not up to lvl 50) later on. Plus it will have the effect of killing all interest in the low level game in both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. No point in having costume contests in Atlas Park any more if Nova Praetoria sees more traffic.
Also I can't see how the markets can't merge if you can have access to both the BM and WW as a Praetorian. Hello arbitrage.
It's the initial info release. Lots of exciting things, but also lots of unanswered questions. And if it isn't successful in pulling in a lot of new subs, then it could very well be the end of major development on this title.
We'll see. -

It will be possible for a hero to become a villain and a villain to become a hero. Rogue and vigilante are the grey areas between those two extremes. They have the flexibility to move between both sides, but can only use the market on their side until they complete the transition. -

I'll just put it this way.
The graphical update alone will make me feel like I'm playing an entirely new game. That's far more than I could ask for. The pistols, the demons, the new content is a great addition too, but DAMN are those graphics making me happy. I may not even make a new character until I finish exploring every zone!
Also, yes, the keyword is reflections. Welcome to emulating real life. Things reflect other things. It looks spectacular. -
Quote:Yep, seems to be fixed. Guess it's just a matter of maintenance.Originally Posted by Terse
Perhaps I should have emphasised the IF in my post that you first responded to. Seems to me IF both games are developed by the same business entity (seperate divisions of the same corporation or whatever) then IF there is a spike in need for resources in one 'division', they could be reshuffled from a 'sister division' to adjust. I concede this is pure speculation on my part, brought on my the links I mentioned & my anxiety over the game account/store/character slots issues. As such its probably not worth discussing any further.
The important thing is - the devs do seem to be either still working on it, or to have fixed it. Again today I seem to have all my character slots available.
Thanks again devs! -

Thanks for all the advice. What is this AE farming thing all about? Sorry guys been away for a while. Please bear with me. Like I said the great thing about this game is the helpfulness of the players.
AE farming is dead. It was a shameless, annoying exploit by players who didn't want to leave Atlas Park to level. In all seriousness (no sarcasm or hatred in what I'm about to say, I want to help you) forget you ever heard about it. It's dead and gone, and the less it's brought up, the better. -
Quote:We're doing fine. Come to Virtue!Originally Posted by cyberdude
Hi,
After a long break, I decided to sign back up and get back in to playing. I signed on it the server is empty and no chat going on at all! I can't find teams and it just seems deserted. I use Freedom which is normally full and active and for the last week nobody around. Is COH dying? I know Champions online just launched. Did COH loose most of it's base to Champions or are they just dying slowly?
This is wierd cause COH has always been active in the 5 years I've been playing....Now it's like empty!

Quote:... Yes, same company, but the section that makes Aion is NOT the section that makes City of Heroes. I seriously doubt Posi and BaBs had to wheel over to the NC Seattle building to perform duties related to Aion (other than the launch party, which I heard was a blast).Originally Posted by Terse
Soooo.... its just coincidence that the NCSoft link on the www.cityofheroes.com homepage brings up a web page that lists both City of Heroes and Aion under the NCSoft banner? Ok.
On the positive side, the devs do seem to be still working on this (however quietly) - I was just able to log in on Infinity and recreate the alt I was planning to, with the name I wanted to re-use. Phew!
Guess they didn't abandon the issue over the weekend after all. Thanks devs!
While you are correct in sarcastically asking me if it's a coincidence (making the answer obvious), you aren't correct in telling me through underlying snarkiness that they're being managed by the same development team. -
Quote:First of all, it's a new issue. There will be bugs.Originally Posted by Stardrive
This shoddy bug-ridden nonsense every time a new issue comes out is stupid.
You will get countlessly more issues addressed when an issue goes live; the beta testing is just a fraction of the population. More testers, more problems found. And this issue wasn't even seen on the beta server, so now that it IS seen, aren't you glad there's going to be a fix?Quote:Originally Posted by Stardrive
That's what the beta testing they drag out is supposed to be for.
Where did you buy your character slots?Quote:Originally Posted by Stardrive
I don't even want to know why my character slots are linked to the store either so that I lose them when it goes down. >(
I normally don't call someone out like this, but come ON man, it's just a temporary problem. If Paragon Studios came out and said "Sorry, Online Store is gone for good", THEN I would understand.
Wait. If the store goes down, it will come back. Don't be so self-centered. The sheer amount of self-entitlement I felt radiating from your post drove me to reply. -

It occured to me that NCSoft released Aion this week too. If Aion is the cause of the silence from the devs over this/this week then I can't see that as a good sign of things to come.
..... what?
Paragon Studios =/= Aion. -
Why is it that I posted a thread about this last week, and clearly said "Oh hey, my slot came back when the store came online! All is well, happy day," but now that the store has been down a bit more, people are freaking the **** out and crying doom?
Grow some patience, people.
Any time you get upset about the slot you had not being there, I want you to come to this page and read this:
The slot you purchased will return when the online store becomes available. Wait. -
People.
Calm down. Seriously. Go make a cup of coffee and relax.
I lost a slot too, but when the online store comes back (and it will come back), it will be available. You didn't lose anything. It's in the ether.
Relax. -
Chatlogging has never caused performance issues for me; then again, I've never used HijackThis or anything of the sort. Related issue?
