    sooo the 20th screenshot taken on 5-17-2010

    Id be up for trying it, but keep in mind the TF is still broken
  3. Ive herd this a while back too. Like a month ago. Someone posted a picture of Positron's toon with their badge list open, and it was there.

    However.... I dont know what are the odds of people succeeding this with the current state of the LGTF.

    Impyre, if you're planning any runs on Friday evenings or the week ends, and have room, let me know in advance. I need a ******* load of a specific Hami-O.

    Since I don't need the badge on anyone specific, I can bring whatever. I got 4 lvl 50's of every hero AT on Protector. Just lemme know what you need.

    PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ i7-930 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2.66GHz)
    OPERATING SYSTEM Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit
    MEMORY 6GB Tri-Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 6 DIMMs
    HARD DRIVE 500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
    GRAPHICS CARD ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5
    Forgot to give an update.

    Been running the new PC for a week now, and it runs like a dream! Have everything cranked to the max and Im getting zero lag I have a little trouble with the FSAA, but I hear thats a driver problem which will be fixed once the 10.4 drivers come out.

    Thanks for the help all


    EDIT: Oh, and on a side note, it can run L4D2 fully cranked as well!!

    Every competition thread descends into exclusion discussion, and I would imagine its quite discouraging for the teams that organise these competitions.
    Oh I know, and I do appreciate their efforts to include as much of the player base in their contests as possible. Their work has not gone unnoticed, believe me. My hat is off to them. But keep in mind, it's also very discouraging to the people that see all these opportunities and can't participate in them...

    Airing our frustration here also shows them how interested we are, thus highlights where their next point of interest should be.

    Sorry if my initial comments came by as snarky or some such, it's just that I still have the military mentality sometimes: "If 10 soldiers enter a room and only 9 chairs are available, no one sits down."

    I'm sorry, but my last statement about fear of plagiarism still stands.

    No I won't, and I have a very good reason why... 'Cause if someone who can enter the contest decides to copy my idea and win, that would just piss me off to no ends....

    And I hope everyone else that can't enter the contest does the same, just to protect themselves and their work.

    The government isnt the one stopping people from participating in contests outside of Quebec, Lotto Quebec is... their just a glorified group of mobsters that want to make sure the only way you gamble/participate in contests is thru them...

    I tried that... it's considered falsifying documents and voids your application...

    This pretty much sums up my problems with every contest CoH as ever had... Alot of people from Quebec have been gripping/moaning, both on the forums and the CoH Facebook page, about not being elligible, nor being able to participate in anyway, to contests or other similar events...

    I've played this game for years, I would love... nay, JUMP on the occasion to leave a permanent mark/imprint on it. So far the closest I've come was reporting an exploit that got removed during the i9 Open Beta.

    Ok, so now I guess is how do I make sure they are compatible with each other?

    Whats CCC? And who else would be controlling it?
  13. Ok, so removing the depth of field helped a bit, but did not remove the problem. Removing DoF and AO completely does not change the fact that FSAA for me makes the game look like an NES game the higher it goes. Only thing I have left to try is the 10.4 drivers.

    I'll try to post pics later today.
  14. I can see how 150 can go by fast, especially if you're sending dozens of recipes and salvage to one toon, then sending the crafted enhancements back to other toons.

    So ya, 150 is not that high when you look at it from that angle, however, looking at it from the gold farmers angle, 150 is too much...

    I guess it's one of those situations where we have to find the middle ground, so I'm guessing 150 is reasonnable for now.

    Blockiness? This may be what Im seeing. Everything turns square/angular.

    I'll check with the dept of field then, I dont think I turned that one off.
  16. I Just got my new PC yesterday. It's my first time using an ATI card, so bear with me...

    I logged on this morning for about 10 minutes (spent all night downloading CoH and other stuff). I tried cranking everything to Max video wise... the framerate was around 20-25, with zero lag. So I was happy.

    Only thing tho, is if I touched the FSAA, the game looked like it became 8-bit... The higher up I went with it, the more it started looking like an NES game. If I left that at zero, but left everything else cranked, the game looked and ran fine (well, looked as good as can be expected without the FSAA on).

    I know the drivers it has on now are 10.3, and the card is an Sapphire ATI 5870 1gb. Anything I can do to fix it? I tried removing the AO since I heard there were issues with it and FSAA, but it didnt do anything, it still looked like old school Mario Bros.
  17. To EMPulse,

    With all the people here on the forums, I know it must not be easy to find the time to answer a specific question. So I thank you for finding the time to answer mine.

    However, I just want to enter the contest for the chance of having my art in the game. I seriously don't care if I get a prize or not... is there anyway for me to enter a submission for the chance of having my work appear in game for free?
  18. Good to know, I'll have to check this tonight once I get back. Cause right now the 6 emails I sent this week end are still in limbo.

    Same...

    Would entering the competition under a family member's Ontario adress be legal? Or would that be concidered falsifying information?
  20. Any updates on this?... I was really hoping of getting my stuff back soon.
  21. Just a quick update.

    Still dont have my items back. I did receive 2 respones from support over the week end, but both basically saying that they will escalate mt petition and will get back to me, due to "above normale amount of petitions" being sent in.
  22. Got this issue since Friday as well...

    On Friday, I mailed miself enhancements/influence while globals are up. Try to get to them while globals are down, no go. The emails are gone. Once globals are back up again, I find the emails have reappeared. So yay!

    However.... I mailed myself 6 enhancements with around 25 Mil influence yesterday before realizing that the globals were off again. So the emails disapear. I figured I'd wait till the globals would be back online, but once they did come back.... no go. Emails lost...
  23. The new emailing system... which I have been asking for since i9!
