    That would only work if Castle only nerfs every powerset. He doesn't.

    Congrats Blazing Tiger, please let me know which code you would like!
    The big thing, I think, was the laser-lines in the ceilings/blue streaks - those are pretty unique to Pocket D - and you could also see the red ones. I saw the blue lines and said to myself "That's the D".

    Surprising? I thought distressing...

    i'm surprised any servers at all are still online if Echonis honestly believes that the game has less than 5,000 subscribers.
    2244 members merely means that 2244 people were logged into the forums. Doesn't include those who are merely checking various parts not logged in.

    And the thing regenerates.

    Just to make sure - you know the ten minute timer is constantly going - it does not start upon destruction of the turret?

    Basically - once the bar on the loading screen starts to move - even if it's just a hair and then stops - it is all your machine.
  8. By the way, I recommend using powexec_toggleon vs. powexec_name for turning on your shield - on any of the form binds, really - to help prevent issues with double-taps, etc.

    All have said it's not a valid file.
    Two things - the first is the -project coh flag only works in shortcuts to the cityofheroes.exe, not the updater. Make sue to place it with a sinle space between the end of what is already in the target line and the hyphen. If there are quotation marks, place the " -project coh" outside of the quote marks.

    Also you can go to www.plaync.com and try downloading a fresh copy of the updater there.

    Further note - this sever is more for infame help - this issue fits better in the tech issues forum in the development sub forum.

    EDIT: so instead of a shortcut reading this in the target line :

    "E:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe"

    You would want this :

    "E:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cityofheroes.exe" -project coh

    In the higher levels, it's more like not worth slotting more than two Common IOs - ED is based purely off percentage, and the level 50 IOs have some hefty percentages.

    This is 'Player Questions'. There is a section for reporting bugs.
    Which isn't the section the OP wants, either. He wants "Forum Games".

    However, shouldn't common sense have told you that something was amiss in your calculations? 100% reduction would = zero recharge time. What if you had Hasten for 160% reduction?

    FYI, endurance reduction works the same way. 100% reduction means your endurance cost is reduced by HALF, not 100%.
    Any enhancement which works be REDUCING works on the New Value=Original Value/(1.00+%), to the given cap. This basically is Recharge, Interrupt, and Endurance Reduction. Mez resists also work this way, as I recall.

    For recharge, it's 400% cap, resulting in a minimum recharge time of 1/5 (1+4.00) the original value.
  14. Go to the forums search, and search for the tag "TweakCoH". Yes, some people use USEFUL tags.
  15. If there is no action box under your billing summery, and it IS possible (which, unfortunately, I think it isn't) to pay for this via PayPal - cancel your re-occurring billing (if set up that way) then set up re-occurring billing again - I know for credit cards that forces it to show up.

    If that doesn't work all I can suggest is credit-card style gift cards.

    Edit : And if you want to use color to emphasize something, yellow does decently on both skins, especially bolded, IIRC.
  16. You have three web address to get to a CoH wiki.

    wiki.cohtitan.com
    www.paragonwiki.com

    and then
    cityofheroes.wikia.com (I think - it's a wikia wiki at any rate).

    The first two listed are the same actual website. The 3rd is a often virus infested, ad infested, not kept up one. Don't use it.
  17. Just go to your game account, and in the actions box should be something along the lines of "Subscribe".
  18. But you are under billing summery?
    One thing to try is cancel the recurring billing, then restarting it.

    Otherwise, I guess it's off to the support site for you.
  19. So after clicking on "Billing Summary" on the right (circled in Yellow) you don't have this box in the center of the screen?

  20. Rick Astley.

    Or at the very least, a guy who uses the name and claims to be THE Rick Astley.

    While Arilou was off about the rest of the world being a wasteland (as of "Now"), Arilou was right about the fact that Cole has proof the world can't survive without him - all that healing was only possible after he took charge. If he left, humanity would go back to squabbling, etc, even if the Hamidon remained contained.

    Antec TruePower Blue 750 watt PS
    EVGA p55 FTW MoBo

    Intel i7-860 processor 2.8ghz (OC'd to 3.2ghz stable..had it at 4.2ghz for a while)
    Corsair H50 CPU cooler
    Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD
    LG DVD Burner
    XFX Radeon HD5830 gfx card

    I've got an idea...how 'bout someone fix some of these old/recurring problems before throwing out some new eye candy?

    Okay.

    Well, it said that he was wondering if the temporary shutdown of the market (indicating that he knew about what was going on) had caused everyone to lose their stored items.

    As Fleeting Whiser said, anything on the market, even if it's just stored, is on the market server, not your character file, meaning that, yes, everyone did lose access to their stored items, but it'll come back when the market server is restored.
    Wow, Dump got the !#% dumped on him! And it was right on target!

    Must be having an off day.

    Driver question

    Laptop or desktop?

    Also, in the development section of the forums (Dev Digest, the i17 beta forums, etc) is a "technical issues and bugs" forum - that's also a player-help-player forum for hardware/technical issues like this, and I recommend you (re) post this there.

    Also, run this as well - give info about your system the tech-types can decipher.
