    That's right, it's all a conspiracy against the common man and unwashed masses. This sort of thing should only be tested during Double XP weekend, when it has the possibility of crippling the most players. But at least then, the downtrodden won't be trampled under foot by so many elitist players and sycophants

    Well neither did I. At least not on that shard anyhow.

    There were eight terminals for CoH at Comic Con. Four were hooked up to the Issue 16 beta server, and the other four were hooked up to Live. Which means that I couldn't play may Live character on the Issue 16 beta build.

    I'm sure he could have used GM commands to give himself a lvl 50 character on the beta server, but since Power Customization won't yet apply to Epic ATs, the point is moot anyhow.

    Also, it's better to show what players will see from a "new player experience" when trying to entice non-subscribers onto the game. It's probably why Epic ATs got a pass this round until other considerations are met, especially when competing against "that other game" starting next month.

I had to solve the problem by copying the files over from my Mac CoH client. Running the Updater as Administrator didn't help, nor did messing with the permissions.

    - Very low framerates and very high lag with an nVidia 9800 GT, which shouldn't happen. On a medium sized team, even the simplest visual effects would slow the game down to a slideshow. Yes, I was using the official nVidia driver and not Microsoft's.

    - Instability, the game would crash or freeze several times a week so that the entire system would no longer respond (requiring a hard reset).

    - Switching back to Vista miraculously solved all the above problems.

    It looks like Windows 7 is not yet ready for CoH.
    Well that's odd, because I've been using the Win7 RC for almost three months now without so much as a problem, save for a video driver update issue (an nVidia problem that I was able to roll back).

    So I don't know what to say. Sucks to be you? J/K, but I think it might be a problem pretaining to your specific build more than the RC. Hell, I think the game runs better on my Win7 build than XP.

    Devs didn't expect anyone to "drop everything and fly across the country to go to the convention," especially when passes to the event had sold out months in advance. They have a game in the genre and wanted a booth there for everyone to see, not just "loyal players."

    I think we all expect to have a good, bug-free issue when it goes to live, and if closing stuff off during closed beta is a part of that, so be it. It's probably something they wanted to implement since closed betas started, but didn't have the tech to do so until recently.

    Please get over your sense of entitlement. It will be ready when it's ready - hence closed beta.

    I would think that's already in the cards somewhere, and would also explain why Kheld Power Customization has been passed for this round, due to Nova/ Dwarf forms having the same problem.

    All of my above perks are costume codes from events like Comic Con and Hero Con. I have the Comic Con perk from this year, but haven't applied it yet. However, since others don't have these codes, I assume that buying character or MA slots might also count as Perks.

    bug: When clicking on a previously read thread it does not auto jump to last unread post, but starts at first post in the thread.
    That's user error. On the left of most forum titles, there's a down arrow that will lead to the latest post on the thread. Not exactly the equivalent of the old forums, but a good way to get where you want to go.

    In regards to the digests, it's a known issue. Really no more need to report the obviously broken digests

    Also, Zombie_Man's made this handy temp digest to look at recent posts from oft-posting devs and reps.

    Well, you're entitled to your opinion. It's probably not the best work I've done, but thankfully not the worst.

    But unless the image breaks the forum rules in regards to obscenity and the like, I'm free to display it, regardless of your opinion

    Edit: Oh and hey look at that, the :grin: smiley doesn't work anymore and there is no quick smiles!
    The gauntlet is thrown!

    I'm pretty sure using IMG tags in a thread is a bug, but being worried about forum signature images is the least of your concerns at this point

    Graphic signatures won't upload or get linked from other website.

    Although you can use a link from a filehosting site and manually write the [img tags
    OS: Win Vista 32
    Browser: Google Chrome
    Forum: Any
    Bug Description: IMG tags are enabled, not only for signatures but for anything. Example:



    Another example:



    Not sure if this is intended, but I know on the US forums there were reasons this feature was disabled for normal accounts

    Suggestion: Disable IMG tags for normal accounts, but fix image upload for signatures (problem described by Croesis). The current 600x120 size limit should be sufficient for forum signatures.

    Edit: Forum Images are intentionally Allowed. All normal Forum Rules and Regulations are valid, and we will have an update soon to cover this expanded area. If people want to severely abuse the potential of this feature, that's (part of) what I get paid for. -The Ocho

    I've tried a PNG and a GIF... is this perhaps limited to jpg only? If so thats kinda lame.

    png > jpg

    And yes it was smaller then the specified sizes in both respects.

    >_>

    Also the limiting to only five lines of text in the signature seems odd too. I mean my current Sig isn't long but its apparently too long for the current requirements.
    Had the same problem - just use [IMG] tags in the text area of your sig. Worked fine for me.

    Throw my vote in to retain my signature image.

    You can pry it out of my signature when I'm dead Until then, here it is in glorious 400x120 beauty

    In fact, I'll be making a new version at the max size (600x120) shortly

    Pain Domination is entirely based on mental control. You don't actually 'heal' anyone, you just make them ignore any pain they might be feeling.

    Kind of like how someone hopped up on PcP can demonstrate feats of 'invulnerability'.

    Does that make the medics on the sidelines at Football games villains? They give the players a hefty cortisone shot after they get injured and then send them right back onto the field.

    A while back, I was asking Ex about volunteer forum moderators. Because of problems NCSoft has had in the past in different titles, the practice is strictly verboten.

    Now, if player volunteers forum moderators aren't even allowed, then I really doubt that we'll see any player volunteer GMs in the near future.
