I had a issue like this , but on a ITF, Screen flashed. Half my powers were grayed out (not missing). I Am level 50+++ , but, after the flash, my level 50 symbol was overlayd with the level up arrow. I zoned out, and back in, and it was fixed.

Also. last week. I hit some lag while zoning into a lambda, and , Instead of lambda, I was in some level 3's Goldside mission. I helped him with the mission and we exchanged goodbyes and I left, keep in mind, I was on a level 50 brute.

Weird Stuff

Hello, not sure if this is addressed someplace else, but it seems if I cant get a rare or vrare to save my life on my MM, out of 30 lambda/baf runs. 1 rare. and mostly commons. I'm healing, toggles running, pets doing damage, and alive most of the time, Am I missing something?

Thanks

Sorry I found the post lower on the page, please disregard.

Thanks I think I'm going to like it, with further testing and in other zones, fps was anywhere from 35-60 depending on people zone powers used etc, on a ITF it was around 35 fps while in a fight. Idle talking to people in AP 55-60 fps. I'm going to try setting the advance settings later, and see how it goes, since I think the recommended setting is pretty low.

The Laptop is a ASUS G73JH, and is supposedly a gaming laptop.

Thanks! everyone was spot on. I got CoH loaded and it's running at recommended settings at 60 fps with fsaa at x4, it's much better than my old laptop 10 fps at performance settings.

Hi,

My husband bought me a new laptop today. I'm not very tech savvy, and I have not installed Coh yet, but I was wondering if it should be able to handle ultra mode, as my old laptop could hardly play at minimal settings

specs are

Intel i7 Q740 1.73 ghz (2.5ghz in turbo)
6gb ram
Graphics Chipset ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1025 mb

Any help you can give would be appreciated,

Thanks

Yep, thanks that was it. I paid rent and went back in and all was good!

HEllo, I've been working on a base for a while, and just ran into something odd, None of my items needing power are working, it says 4940 power consumed. 0 produced. I have a ley tap + 2 aux for 5300 power, I also placed a power crystal for a additional 1000 +2 aux (1300 power, yet I have nothing showing as produced.

has anyone run into this issue or know a fix?

Thanks

Subjective :

I love the costumes they look nice, but they , like others have said, don't seem to match the mutant theme.

I was hoping for.. mutation type items, not a snake and a demon.

This may be the first booster I will not buy. already enough demons in my stable.

Same here, lynksys dynex and brodcom cards, in 3 different computers, bad when outside less frequent when inside, no issues with other games . only happens when CoH is the active window

I'm also having this issue, on 3 computers that connect wireless .

1. Amd Phenom x4 925. 275 gtx 6 mb of ram. Broad-com wireless adapter win 7 64

1. intel core 2 duo e6300 4 mb ram lynksys adapter XP

1. Amd dual core 4 mb ram Dynex adaper XP

Just started since the push to live for i17. I have no issues on test, just live.


Wireless modem is a at&t 2wire. no issues in BF BC2, or Modern combat 1 and 2

yea, they are a pain,

I had forgotten about them, till my son who was 10 at the time, was playing his DM/regen scrapper (leveled 1-50 pre AE, on his own) asked me to help with a mission. "No problem" I said. I logged on the other computer, on my spine/DA, went to his mission.

Me "Stand back till I get some aggro, let Dad show you how its done"
Him "Ok Dad!"
Me ( 20 seconds later) "what the hell!"
Him (voice fading into the distance) "Mom, dad said Hell!"

/facepalm

I guess I'm in the minority here. I prefer most aspects of the new PvP.

I have gotten used to DR. You don't "have" to have billion inf builds to be somewhat competitive now. I understand how this makes some people angry, gone are the days of buying your wins.

I think the new changes have in some ways made holds/stuns useful, Pre "new" PvP a break-free pretty much invalidated anything my controller could do in PvP other than De buffs , A 6 seconds Hold is better than no hold. Since i13, I play my troller in pvp now, and get kills, on my own. crazy.

Fights actually have a end now. (mostly talking arena on this one), You no longer have fights that last till one or the other side just quits. Zzzzzzz.

TS. I like it sometimes, when I'm chasing someone, I hate it, when I'm being chased. you can, sometimes kill a person in Zone PvP now w/o them streaking to base every time.

HD. This is one I'm still on the fence about, for my toons with 1 or 2 heals its not a huge deal. For my EMP, it kinds sucks. For people who used to load up a tray full of greens I can see how this would make em QQ.

also, You can turn off the TS, HD, DR, for Arena events. I know this make it 100% like pre i13, but its closer to what some people want
just my 2 inf

/dons flame proof underoos

With my current build, I don't use my heal but once in a blue moon, dark does have some decent healing, but even with my better than bot survivability, I rarely heal em, with stacked to hit -debuffs. I usually run a bobcat mish set to +0x8, and aggro 3-4 groups at once

I recently reworked my build, took fearsome stare, dropped the mace web, and picked up HT, the fear when stacked works better than the web cocoon for large groups.


I play on Virtue, previously Freedom as Tinkerman

Still cant get mids to work on my new cpu, but I can try and give you my slotting

Drones, 6 slot blood mandate
equip robot 1 end redux
Protector bots 1 acc, 2 damage, 1 end redux, 2 def io's
Assault bot , 6 slot, sovereign right
Photon grenade, 6 slot Stupefy
Upgrade 1 end redux
repair , 1 rech

Twilight grasp, 1 touch of the nictus, 2 acc 2 heal 1 rech (will equip all touch in this when I get around to it)
Tar Patch, 6 slot impeded swiftness
Darkest night, 6 slot siphon insight
Shadow fall, 6 slot red fortune
Dark servant, 3 rech red

swift, 1 runspeed
health, 1 heal
stamina, 4 performance shifter, 2 unsloted, will get 2 more perf when I get around to it for 3.13 AoE def, and 1.565 fire and cold def

Boxing, unsloted
Tough, 3 slot steadfast protections
weave, 6 sloted, 5 red fortunes, will slot 1 more red fortune for 2.5 range and 1.25 energy/neg energy def,

Manuvers, 6 slot red fortunes
Tactics, 1 end red
assault, 1 end red

Provoke, 3 slot, annoyance

Scorpion shield, 6 slot, 4 slot red fortune, will slot 2 more red fortune for 2.5 range 1.25 energy/neg energy def

Web envelope 2 slot, 1 acc 1 rech

I have no hasten, tried it and found it did not add enough as the things I would have to give up to keep it, also I use jet packs, and ninja run for my travel power.

My end stats should be

S/L 60.41
Fire 38.22
Cold 38.22
Energy 53.85
NE 39.48
Psi 20.07

Range 47.91
Melee 39.16

Most expensive IO in build, steadfast protection res/def, but I just ran AE missions, and did 20-24 bronze rolls till I got one, did not take long at all, Pretty much 4 hour hours of running AE mission got me all the IO's I needed or paid for the ones I got on the market, with some cash left over from selling things I did not need.




"Things will get better when you hit 32, but you'll still take a while to kill an AV or Hero. My bots/traps the other day faced off against a hero and it took almost 10 minutes to kill her. She couldn't move, she spent a while choking, and I had double stacked acid mortars on her alot, but the bots single target DPS just isn't that high."

This is why I prefer dark over traps, Bots DPS is pretty good, but the thing that makes it a AV and GM soloer, is not DPS, its all the - regen you put out with dark, I soloed a WL in Cap last night, using a mark 3 analizer, I watched his HP regen, was mostly at 0.00% for a brief split second it would pop up to 136%. took 9 min to kill it, thanks to it being vulnerable to fire and energy. It would have taken allot longer without the ability to floor regen. AV fights are ussualy in the 5-6 min range.

Assault Bot Plasma Blast 30% chance for -500% regen for 30 seconds
Twilight grasp -50.00% regen for 20 seconds
Dark servant Twilight grasp -50.00% regen for 20 seconds

You can take howling twilight as well for additional - regen, its a rez, focused on the target enemy, but has a pretty hefty - regen to it, and you can use it while solo

also you reduce damage output by 30% and - tohit with darkest night, and -30% damage resist with tar patch

Fluffy also gets darkest night, that stacks with yours., with 2 prot bot bubbles, my fluffy is usually just fine surrounded by 12+ enemy on its own

Hope this helps, I can be reached in game @ petty theftz

What he said, ^ , but more of it, stick it out to 32, slot 2 def enhancers in your protbot, and work some more def in with IO sets, and then you can laugh at anything the game throws at you.

last night, doing BnY missions with my tanker, we ran into a issue with a nictus crystal, right in the first room of the cave. It was ugly. everyone died, multiple times. eventualy I logged on my Dark/Bot, told everyone to stay in the tunnel and I proceeded to wipe out the whole room with the loss of only 2 bots. A good well build Dark/Bots or Trap/bots is scary good.

I have problems with mids, so I cant post a build but my MM, with reasonably priced IO's is sitting at

60.41 S/L
42.91 range
39.16 melee
36.66 fire
51.35 energy
36.98 Ne
20.07 psi
39.48 AoE
with 1 prot bubble

+ darkest night +fluffy with his own controls/heals and -to hit debuffs. I find I don't really even use bodyguard mode unless fighting a nasty EB, or AV or Gm solo.

"My third reaction; Why in the name of the great Carp Father would you delete toons that high level!? =@_@="

This struck me as funny, I for one have deleted about 8 level 50's, takes me 2-3 weeks of casual play to get to 50 with decent groups, and since we have limited slots per server, if I want to roll an alt, I have to go to another server, or delete one of the ones I have. The free server transfers have been a blessing, I've moved most of my 50's off Freedom, to Virtue for roleplay, and I can roll up new alts on freedom and have satisfying groups.. not that anything is wrong with groups on uhhh virtue.. err... hmmmm /ducks

I found soft-capping my Claw/Sr very easy.

49.96 melee Melee
49.06 range
42.04 AOE ( yes yes not soft-caped)

Did not need elude, and did not take fitness, its not needed
Took Physical perfection and conserve power, conserve is up fast enough that I can attack non stop with 147% recharge time.

I was able to take strike, follow-up, slash, spin, focus, shockwave,
all secondary but elude

Cj+jump
Boxing tough weave
aid self
hasten
Physical perfection, conserve power,

I have 2 widows, I find My (s)crapper survives allot better than either my widows, mainly due to the def debuff resistance, I fight +4 x8 spawns (sometimes mutiple spawns) of Bobcat followers as my regular farm on my claws/sr, the only way I can do a spawn with my widows' is when elude is up. only thing i've found that will drop me below soft cap, is a full spawn of eyes in the shadow shard

but my widows bring more to a team.

I have both a plant dom and controller, accuracy for the CC's is not a big deal, especially if you're attacking large groups. I run 4 damage procs, and 2 recharge IO's in both my builds, it *destroys* spawns. it's very tasty on my controller who is TA. Seeds of confusion+CC's + Oil Slick arrow, a group of +0 x8 with bosses melts away in 30-40 seconds.

Try it. the damage procs are pretty cheap as well!

MM name, The Tinkerman

Assault bot- 8 Track

Protector bot 1 BetaMax
Protector bot 2 VHS

Battle Drone 1 Flowbee
Battle Drone 2 Microwave
Battle Drone 3 Toaster Oven

Personally, i've stoped playing my fire/kin for farming since I hit 50 on my plant/ta/fire. With perma carrion creepers 4 slotted with damage procs, and OsA up in less than a min, I tear through MA or Mission content set to x8+0 with bosses, faster than my firekin, and safer. about the only insp i use are breakfrees when needed.

Its fun to have people send tells after a team saying they plan to roll one up after watching me.

thanks for the answers,

looks like I can go ahead with my build, Mids was treating all 7.5 recharge as the same pool.

Does the 7.5% global recharge bonus cap at 5, like the other set bonus attributes?

thanks in advance.

Ditto,
Started about 20 min ago on freedom, multiple zones,

My first MM and Vill to 50 was Thugs/Poison. I liked him until the Endgame, when things come down to fighting groups of 15-20 things, it was just to hard to try and micromanage and keep alive my henchmen, But It was decent against tougher single target encounters. Also this set was pretty decent in PvP.


My second MM to 50 was a Nin/Storm. I really liked this set until the recharge Fix/nerf, whatever you want to call it neutered Lightning storm. Its still a Solid set that is fun to play. Also this set is decent in PvP

My third was a Bot/Dark. This MM makes My Tanker weep, and my Scrappers wail, its just coated in that much Awesome. with 40% to Melee and range def, and 60% S/L, and the ability to solo GM's and every AV but Statesman (cant kill that bugger, and iv'e tried allot), its seems overpowered compared to any other AT I have played. And one of the cheapest to IO out of any of my level 50's. This set is "ok" in PvP, allot of what makes him good in PvE gets taken away By diminishing returns in PvP, like 60% S/L going to 19% in a pvp zone =( , and the -tohit gets hit pretty hard by DR, esp since players have a higher chance to hit than NPC's.

I tried a Bot/Trap, and while it was decent, I only got to level 40. I found that for fast moving Groups, and farming, I like the mobility of /Dark

I'm working on a Nin/Thermal, mostly for PvP, I'm at 30 so far, its fun to play, So far I feel like its a bit ahead of My Thug/Psn in Pve, and may come out equal to my Nin/Storm.
