  1. I didn't think there was one but i think it would be a good thing if NcSoft had one you could view. Not nessesarily telling you the ones you missed.. wheres the fun in that, but to tell you the ones you have.

    food for thought.


    Now if one were made that was 3rd party, would it violate the Eula since your [as far as i know] not messing with NCSOFTS property? opening files editing anything etc. etc.

    Thanks for the help gang.

    Sure thing ( as long as you have had the CoX gamg installed on your computer)

    1) Burn your entire CoH directory to a dvd.
    2)Copy the contents onto your new computer in the C:\Program Files\city of heroes directory.
    3) play the game )

    If i am forgetting anything gang, please input. Its been a while since I have done this and may have missed a step.

    Thats how I do it and that way you have a good copy of the game ( with recent updates/patches) incase anything horrible should go wrong.
    Even if you don't use the disk again for 2 issues you don't have that much to DL.

    Peace!
  3. (Since this thread is about badges and such I hope i am writing this in the correct space.)

    Is there a way to automatically keep track of what plaques have been touched either in CoH software or 3rd party ( thats doesn't violate the NcSoft EULA)

    for example : I was working on the student badge, but since I forgot which plaque i missed, I had to go to each zone a re click them to make sure I got the one i missed.

    If not i guess the old fashion way will have to do ( pencil & paper) But with multiple toons badge hunting, it would be more convenient to have it listed automatically.

    Thanks folks : )

    Seriously. I hate that. Does every hero in any comic book stop just to activate their powers ? nope.

    How inconvienient would it be for Green Lantern to stop moving to activate his power ring. Or for Supes to stop flying and hover while he activates his heat vision.

    PLEASE let me use my powers while i run

I had met this toon in a previous Villian Group that I was only a member in and the leader told me all about her. So being that I have a big heart, I decided to 'help' this girl out.
    Shortly after I made my Villian Group, she got kicked from the other group.
    I am now going through the very same thing that the one leader told me about. So, once again, given that I do have a big heart, I decided to give her one last chance.
    Thats mighty big of ya. (most) everyone deserves a second chance : )

    I held a group meeting with everybody, told her everything that was wrong and made her convince us to let her stay. I know that some people will frown upon.
    Even though you were nice ( as most of us are in CoX) *I* myself would have handled this differently. The way it sounds to me is that you stood her up infront of her SG and "raked her through the coals" so to speak. Thats never a good thing. Its hurtfull, embarasing and the person involved is not really going to learn / listen by doing this to them. It's not going to really solve your issue.

    Let your group members tell you (or you officers) what their issues are
    then talk to the offending player amongst you and your officers.

    And before any of you ask why I let her stay for so long, well...she was there with me from the beginning, she recruitted a lot of people and at the time pulled in most of the prestige.
    I told her why I had let her stay for so long and asked her what happened. She vowed to change and I told her this was her very last chance. Next time, she and all her toons will be kicked.
    Now that you have read my ranting and raving, I ask...
    did I do the right thing?
    What would you have done?
    You let her stay for so long because you felt loyalty to her. Its totally understandable. I would likely feel the same.

    In the end your brought the issue, you and your VG mates were having, to her and she promised to change. As a leader, that is what you should have done and you did it.

    However since you have laid down the law, make sure your officers escort her out the door if she does it again. Otherwise your word as leader becomes worthless.

    Dont ever worry about asking for advice, once in a while everyone does!

  7. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing especially with a young family.

    I never knew @Code Red, but from the responses I have read so far, I know he was a great guy.

    It's always sad when a Game loses a player, but to see such support, even by those who didn't know him, makes a strong statement from the Online Community..it make me very proud to be part of this community

    R.I.P. @Code Red & Fellow Hero.

  9. Optic_Spark

    long install

    This isn't really a game issue, but i didn't know where else to put it.

    I install CoH from 4 cd's is there any way that I can put all that info onto a single dvd and have it install without asking for the next disc?

    Thanks gang

    Are you playing the game on the same resolution as your desktop size? Sometimes you can have undesired results when playing fullscreen on a different resolution, especially when trying to switch back and forth.

    oh for sure i am. i checked it out to make sure before i posted. as that was one of my issues with Everquest.

    i dunno. perhaps its a windows thing that changed ? who knows. and unfortunatly with Windows 7 when you press control alt delete, you get a screen as apposed to a window that pops up in winxp.

    it's annyoing, but atleast i can still play

    thanks for the help gang, I really apreciate it.
  12. anyone know why i can't window out of CoH anymore ?

    I am running Windows 7 RC I havn't updated anything or installed any graphics options or such, now when i hit the win key, i don't get the startmenu overlapping the game anymore. The game screen darkens ( at it normally does when you hit the win key) but there is no start menu.

    i don't like to play the game in "windowed" mode. i just like the option to tab out ( alt-tab and winkey tab doesn't work either)

    sure hope someone can help. cuz it's really annoying.
    Thanks alot!
  13. This seems as good a place as any other to ask this.

    I have read online about a CoH RPG (pen and paper) coming out from eden studios.

    Anyone know if this has been produced or if it was shelved ?

    thanks!
