  1. Well I live in London so I,m not excluded,would love to get some of your stuff
  2. I had problems with getting the beta test to load ,and as I,m no great shakes at sorting this sort of stuff I got my son to do it for me,he found the info on the forums for downloading this.IT did take 4.5 hours to download as it started from scratch.So have a look on the forums and see if you can find it or hopefully someone my put up a link to it .

    Would you guys know what's going on?
    I had this after the server merge and now have to put eu in front of my login name ,you may have to do something similar.I,m not sure what you would have to put it would depend on which side you started of on US or EU,hope this helps

    Texture Glitch

    Can anyone help me with this I have never seen it before I upgraded my GPU after the last one failed I am now using an ATI HD5570.



    I would really like to know if this is something I should worry about my GPU Is not really even getting hot and I'm not getting any error messages.

    This screenshot was taken during a CoT mission and it seems like all the textures are being replaced with the fog of war texture??
  5. That was the funniest thing I have read for a long time ,fair goes to the guy who asked for the star
  6. While people in game will give influence salvage enhancements and the like,I cannot see anyone prepared to give RL cash to someone they do not know,but you never know there may be an angel out there for you

    It sounds to me that her pc is not quite up to scratch to see the base in all its glory (i assume it might be a big base?)
    So here is something that I have to do when i edit a base..
    I go into first person mode and look down at the ground. Then I put up the map (so i can see where i'm going) and press Edit base.
    Then I travel to where I need to edit and start the editing. The important thing is.. NOT to look up, until you get to the place of editing.
    It could also be alot of light or things near the entrance that just makes her pc crash/lagout etc...
    Her computer has just been upgraded so is slightly better than mine now ,also she is running windows 7 I still have windows xp also she has the new Intel I5 or I7 also 64 bit version of windows 7 with 4 gig of ram.This upgrade was done about 2 months ago,as I am a noob at computers my son does it for me and with what he put in it is virtually a new computer .

I hope this does not become a regular problem (as it already is right now.)

    Thanks.
    It seems to be the case as this is the second 4 hour window this week

    Upgrading Bases

    I have a problem with my SG base Both my partner and I have the permission to edit the base,I can do this with no problem but each time she tries the game crashes on her,much to her annoyance would this be a known bug or is she just unlucky to have found a new one I have not petitioned this for her yet as I,m not sure if it a bug thanks for any help I receive on this.

For the purposes of this thread, let us assume F2P was seriously being looked at and a redname posted here asking for input/ideas on how is should be implemented.

    Again, this is not a debate as to IF it should be done, but your ideas of HOW is should be done.

    Please keep in mind that the forum rules prohibit speaking about other games (people were admonished for doing this in the other thread). So while you may be tempted to say CoX should be like XXXXX, please be more specific as to the details.

    Here is my idea:

    Have both subscription and F2P. The subscription player would get everything we get already. Still have to pay for boosters but at half cost.

    The F2P player would only get:
    - 2 character slots per server (can purchase more)
    - have to pay full price for boosters
    - have to pay one time fee for entering PvP zones
    - have to pay a one time fee for entering Pocket D (this would not allow you Itrials - see below)
    - have to pay a one time fee for entering MA
    -have to pay a fee per character you want to incarante

    This is what I got off the top of my head. I figured this plan would not "screw over" subscribers, and still make money off of peoples' desires to create alts.

    Please share your own F2P plan.
    Why are people so intent on starting these threads about CoH going F2P,if you want a super hero F2P I believe there is one out there go play it and stop trying to convince people that CoH should go F2P.You may say that this is how you would do it but unless you own NCSoft you are blowing so much hot air .The only reason you could want it F2P is you are to much of a tight wad to pay the small subs that are asked for each month .

    Newbie and lost

    If your playing a villain I find that side has a lower population than hero side.You can switch sides by doing tip missions,after the first 10 you become a vigilante or rogue depending on what you start out as.Do the next 10 and you can become a full hero or villain also you get an A merit these can be traded for some of the best enhancements.Hope this helps you,enjoy the game.

    I can't imagine how this negatively affects you besides not being able to play a couple hours. That others will get even more enjoyment out of this game should probably not be a consideration for you.

    I guess since you pay, you have a right to tell everyone what to do. Since I have two accounts, I'll vote with both and say you should be ignored. Let me know if you have two accounts, I've been thinking about a third.
    I,ll add my 2 account votes to yours as well I,m bored but at least I,m not whinging
  16. As I have not been able to get on the EU test server since the one occasion when they had the open time during the closed beta test for Incarnate stuff ,I hope that we will be able to access the US one .

    EU Test Server

    Still getting the you are not allowed message ,pm,ed Avatea said she would look into it no reply yet,it,s annoying that they have their test server the other side of the pond .If they are going to close the EU test server they could at least tell us.It is so annoying I have idea,s I want to test but not on the live server.
  22. Why bother unless they have opened the US test server while leaving the EU one closed we have not been able to get on the test server for months,even when they opened it for testing the new stuff I managed to get on once,this is a pretty poor show.
  23. Ah look they have taken pity on the EU players,took it down early so it wouldn't interfere with our peak time playing,so a big thank you to the devs
  24. No only if you want the new shinnies before anyone else,not so long ago all the moans were about farmers and now we have the moans about grinding the 2 trials please give it a rest .No one is forcing you to do the same thing over and over so why do you keep on moaning about it.I have done the Lambada 3 times I don,t find it fun as I,m still finding my way round but once I have I will then try the BAF at the rate I go I will possibly have 1 alt with the first lvl by the time the next issue come,s out.As someone posted once before its not the end result its the journey that counts so slow down and enjoy it .
