Psychic Guardian

This is usually just called "the warehouse" or the "bright white warehouse". It was just mentioned the other day too. It renders horribly bad on Minimum and Performance("the 2nd lowest"). The only thing I've heard of that can be done is to raise your graphics up to Recommended. I tried it once when I was solo, I found the lag from raising my graphics to actually be more bearable than the lag caused by the buggy walls while lower down.

People have been complaining about this map for ages, probably since the release of UM I guess, they supposedly fixed it this year IIRC. I haven't noticed any "fix" with the 5fps lag the map still causes though.

yup for scans/removal I use MB. Do you have their liveprotection? That's what I'm considering getting, or a couple different ones from this thread when I get around to it.

My sister had Kaspersky, it was annoying. For some reason it couldn't connect to get updates, so every few mins it'd make her laptop play a blaring loud alertnotification saying it was out of date, their support had no ideas besides "call your ISP" who said....."call Kaspersky" lol.

Yeah Symantec is an evil company. After her laptop had an OS reset done they put that trial on there, 1 week after the trial expired(and harassed her), right down to the hour, her PC was hit with a handful of trojans while she wasn't home. I actually posted here about virusremoval tools with that incident I think lol.

*clicks Atlas Plaza*

Yes, but the GFX card can be the most important part of the combo. For instance I can stress my processor and push my RAM WAY too high to load a 2nd instance, but the 2nd instance's login screen will come up with graphicerrors/dim because the card is going insane trying to deal with it.

yup. I'm going to NYCC this year but the coolest release of the year will probably be freshly released, with no word at all on "the next big thing" coming. I know it will still be fun though, last year was awesome

time for research

Keep in mind Freedom releases with Issue 21, an Issue with an entire zone complete with zone event, powerset across multiple ATs, and an Incarnate Trial(hopefully it'll be tested properly in beta*cough i20.5-iXP-of-doom* ).

And since it's not an "oh well our MMO died *flip* F2P for all!" but a "hmm we're doing so well let's see how this new innovative system works out for us" it's more than flipping a switch. They'll have to check and re-check every paragon reward/veteran reward conversion or whatever else is involved, as well as the in-game market. Yknow everyone's gotta be careful with the $ lol .

Veteran Rewards too I bet, since last time they changed the Vetsystem and it didn't go as planned people got free badges and they were kind enough to not rip them & their claimed rewards away.

Technically I guess if it does launch august-september you should be able to get City Traveler early

Exactly. I've actually found myself enjoying PLs on lowbies lately, because everyone is on 50s grinding trials and I got bored with my 6. And since they're on 50s I find like 10 people on my server on a non-50, 3 answer tells, and they say they're busy. Sure I could attempt solo'ing, but if you play for progress more than storycontent after lv25-30ish you can run an afternoon of 5tips and not see your XP bar move on standard difficulty (Tried it just the other day on a nice Dom actually, I would've been extremely disappointed if I had been running those tips for XP instead of the main goal of an alignment shift).So it became the easiest way for me to get characters up to 50 to join "everyone else" with the fun new incarnate abilities.

I don't think the OP ever intended to say "stuff was deleted from CoH.". They said you could make progress on a team or solo with almost all content. The new content that is 100% not true. I've never heard of a single person unlocking their alpha slot and building up to a slotted lore component via the shard conversion . Minus trials and the WST that is the "system" for incarnate "progress".

I completely understand the OPs position. Leaving a fun solo capable game and coming back to try out the new content, only to see that the game's playstyle has changed to be non-solo-friendly for the epic new content everyone is playing for is frustrating. Sure they could run tips or IO out a build or become an ebil marketeer, but it sounds like OP would rather be throwing around Judgement, casting Destiny and summoning Lore allies.

People already do this. CoH doesn't put an IP lock for # of accounts used per IP or anything. The difference is instead of them being free trial accounts they'll be free full accounts. All that's required is a different email address.

And it is a good idea. Because I started a 2nd account with a timecard "just for a month/to try" in 2008 and got a couple more cards, then got a lv50 on it I enjoy playing, and it's been an autorenewing account they've been getting $ for for years. People will end up getting 50s on free accounts, some will become badgers, and there's hundreds of them in praetoria they'll at least have to tack GR onto to get etc.

Just saw that. Woot!!! . It's like I just found out christmas is this morning not tomorrow lmao .

Devs; moving scheduled maintenance to push a highly desired high priority patch live for the QoL of the players is GREAT in my books .

Yup. I checked out openbeta several times to try to test all this stuff (and would've bugged it all) prior to the launch; my /searchs never saw more than 15 people online at once.

FINALLY the best patch ever to be announced is on test and ready to go live though(thursday hopefully)....my boycott of trials can finally end lol.

I also maintain 2 accounts where neither ever drop sub. I think I have 32 filled on account1 and maybe 20 on the 2nd .

If he's on the trial isn't he capped at lv14? So he probably hasn't even been read-in on the Incarnate system yet.

OP: Since you are new there are a few things people failed to mention I thought might help you a little; If you're worried about your character's progress then yes, that is lost . However if it's his unique timeconsuming costume, and/or highly customized powers that is an easy fix. You can save the costume and powercustomization on Test, and load them into the character creator on a live server and boom, perfect clone of your character's look.

When you hit save at a tailor for the costume and powers this is where they'll go(from the test server):
If you copy and paste those costumefiles from those to the same subfolders in the City Of Heroes folder replacing CohTest in the example, they'll load right in.
