I just bought and installed a gt 240 superclock to run along side my gtx280 to hopefully improve quality and performance in coh but I'm not even sure if its working in coh or not. I selected the GT 240 in the nvidia control panel as my physx gpu but in the coh video options, the Ageia Physx support is greyed out and N/A as shown in the screenshot below.

Does this not have anything to do with my gt 240? I'm kinda new at the whole having more than 1 video card and I've never bought a dedicated physx card before. If this has nothing to do with my card then what is that option and would how would I enable it? Would it further improve the quality and appearance beyond what my card is supposed to be doing?

alternate stances would be nice. I know we are going to get stance emotes but I'm assuming you have to type those everytime you login or everytime you stop moving. I'd rather have something more permanent like how you can choose from 4 during character creation in champions.

Now obviously these are more longterm than short term but i think some folks wouldn't mind paying extra for all the things I'm gonna list. I realize most of it either won't happen or will not happen for along time but I'm going to ask anyway since it doesn't hurt to. I hope backalleybrawler is reading this

Quickly I'm just gonna get this out of the way. I want my official backalleybrawler fanclub facepalm emote.

Travel power customization
Something I'd like to see someday as another way of extending upon issue 16s power customization.

In addition to changing the colors of many different travel powers I'd like to see new variations or animations.

Flight:
Hoverdisk / Hoverboard or cloud: Can the animation for sliding on ice be re-used to an extend for standing on the added hoverboard or disk?
Anti grav boots, jetboots and jetpacks
Elemental flight such as the electric / magnetic flight that freakshow currently havve

Superspeed:
Skates/ rocket boots or a skate board
anime style run that you see in champs
Elemental animations, or things such as rock or ice appearing near your feet

Teleport:
Here I'd really like the rikti style teleporting (along with the cool sound) and maybe even use wormholes animation when teleporting.

Super Jump/combat jumping
Elemental animations again and maybe create a cool fiery explosion or electrical discharge upon landing (depending on what element)

I think travel power customization is something many of us would be willing to pay extra for.

More alternate animations for all power sets and or changes

shield defense
A personal request that I've always wanted is a change to one with the shield. I've always loved how the council ascendants use that power similar to hibernate where they are untouchable and heal over time. They just hold the shield with both arms out stretched.

Why wasn't this given to shield defense in the first place? I guess castle would need to comment on that, I'm assuming it was tech problem? Don't get me wrong, the current buff can be quite nice at times but it recharges so slowly and this power change would add some extra fluff to the set and make it look cool if you ask me.

martial arts, super strength, stone melee and the elemental melee
I'd like to see the remaining martial arts and super strength powers get new alternate animations and to see more use of the stone mallet for stone melee, more use of the fire and ice swords and a new electric sword, maybe something like a tesla coil or a hammer? (without looking too much like thors hammer ofcouse)

I now await an offical backalleybrawler facepalm.

Wow, that looks great! July can't get here any faster I hope the next round of closed beta is coming soon, didn't family and friends start already?

I hope the no trade items are not a sign of more upcoming no trade items in coh. They already said that in the "end game system" that we would be able to earn stuff to make our characters and our alts more powerful. Hinting that its some sort of item/s.

All I've got to say is I hope some of her costume pieces will be made available to players. I can see that looking quite sexy on some characters.

Yeah I've always used netgraph and it doesn't matter how much activity is in the zone I still see rubberbanding citizens usually only in skyway city though. Network quality is low cut green grass as I like to describe it. The rubberbanding citizens in skyway has been an issue for well over a year.

I'll look into posting the reports that were requested above.

Coh to me is a great game but you can't please everybody. I play champions as well and 2 other mmos along with coh and I'll probably never unsub coh unless they do some massive nerf.

I can't for the life of me get any of my other gamer friends to play coh for long... They call coh too repetitive, but don't see games such as wow to be repetitive. If anything wow is one of the most repetitive games on the market right now. You waste your time leveling up characters to only have to do the same chain of dungeons at max level over and over and then the same raids over and over just to get gear good enough to move onto the next dungeon, its the same thing for all of your characters.

Then another expansions comes out, the level cap is increased and its the same thing over and over. You can't just login a alt and join the new hardest dungeon right from the get go, you have to do that work for that character to bring it up to par just to enjoy the content. I don't have a problem doing that on a single character in a game but if you ask me, that's way more repetitive and boring than coh would ever be. Atleast here we can use our money to craft or buy recipes since this is the only game where crafting is actually powerful.

I think I meant to type the word "sluggish" Can't seem to edit the main title of the first post though.

hmm.. no replies? really?

Would this be caused by graphics card, my cpu or both? My frames are usually great infact that are always great when I notice the slutterish movement of animations. Its similar to the way citizens in certain zones appear to be experiencing rubber band lag as they walk around. (which I always assumed was server lag as my connection quality is nearly always perfect)

I have all of my other settings on max other than the view distance and FSAA.

I'm running a system with:
GTX 280
2gb ddr3
intel wolfdale core 2 duo dual core at 3.0 ghz.

I don't always notice this issue infact I usually won't notice it at all unless I'm at a mission door waiting on the rest of the team and were just standing around.

This is a Coh only related issue and only pops up when I have ambient occlusions enabled. All other ultra mode settings do not cause the issue. I was planning on buying a gtx 480 or waiting until the 485 and 490 no doubt come out suddenly.

But if its cpu related I guess my only real option would be to buy a quad core or overclock my cpu to 4.0 ghz. And I doubt either of those would really help the issue.

Could it also possibly be improved upon by buying a nice ssd drive? I'm thinking I won't get much more than a year out of my current hard drive as I've been using it atleast 3 years now and they usually don't last me much longer before they start to degrade.

As many times as I've completed the RWZ arcs I noticed something different last night. We had faultline and fusionette with us in the first mission where you beat up that giant rikti boss (hrotdar or something) but we were moving too fast for faultline to keep up and suddenly he says something along the lines of: "/t fusionette, you pick the movie tonight sweetie" "oh darn mistell, lets get back to the action"

It got a chuckle out of me since it was so darn random but I don't recall ever seeing this message before. From what I remember it's usually something like: "<insert player name here> where are you?"

Shield/Sr is about all I bother with nowdays myself because most of the other sets other than electric are too squishy to use for anything but purple farming -1 mobs. Scrapper resistances are too low. I think fire aura is an exception though because of its added damage, and quick recharging heal but only in certain circumstances.

Now ofcourse I'm speaking on terms of being able to survive against hordes of +2 and +4 mobs on my own without help from the team. I like my scrappers to be able to handle things like a tank and kill in the process.

Everyone wants backpacks, myself included. So I think its safe to say that we will get them eventually.

on my shield electric tank I feel safe enough to go afk and type this. Nearly everything has a 6% - 7% chance to hit. level 52 rikti although the chief mentalist mesmerize seems to have a 54% chance and hits me quite often. Not sure what the case is there unless that power is supposed to have that high of an accuracy bonus? Other mindcontrol / psi powers bounce off my shield tank hehe.
