Hey all.. long time no see and all that, jazz!
Right it's been so long since playing and I cba to go through 1000+ posts to find this, so I'm asking:
The wife currently has an issue, she wants to see the new power recoloring system, so we reactivated her CoX account to have a look.. naturally...
Problem is, her CoX Launcher constantly Checksums and Downloads a File Manifest and then hangs. Now her Game folder is a direct copy of mine which does work on my system and I does login with her account as well as mine, so it might be something her system is doing. I've read in places people having an issue like this and doing "ipconfig Flushdns/renew/release" - doesn't work.. I've read some doing it in Compat mode - doesn't work. Even turned the firewall off - doesn't work either.
So does anyone have any crazy ideas on why the software is looping? Everything but possibly her GFX Driver is updated and even then it might be nothing more than a month out of date, so technically this shudn't stop the launcher from getting past the "File Manifest" section.
Cheers in advance.. and I'll be poking about Union or Defiant on @Raziel (kept my old global) if any old friends wanna say "hi".

I "generally" look at it all as taunting and smack talk. Boxers do it before a match. Its all RP to me. What language is used and the extent things get to changes much though as I do know things can go too far and be distressing. Its all about how far things go. Even ignoring someone can become an act of bullying.
On villain side, someone coming into the VG stealing everything would just be someone RPing a villain XD .

I hope it's not the person/SG I'm thinking of..
As for the smacktalk, yea.. I suppose it's all RP and all that in game.. but like most things.. they talk like that because they can, get them in person in RL and then you'd find they not only DON'T talk like that, you could kick them into next week for being that SAD to step up to you and try it.
Too many consider the Forum/Game as a post where they can act a "[censored]" shame that outside it, they wouldn't even bother trying.
Just /gignore and /ignore and /petition with date/time/person/zone etc and get on with enjoying the game. Eventually the idiots get the hint.

No one wants to do it then? Last call i guess, come on guys, dont any of you want a shiny shiny badge? =)
[/ QUOTE ]
I'd like to do it.. be previous teams presented, they haven't been able to do it without dying. That and my Badge-[censored] is my Controller (Fire/Emp) and people don't seem interested in a few AT combi's as they're incapable of doing the TF with them, too busy min/maxing because they are kinda "[censored]" at doing it with "non" min/maxed teams. *shrugs* excludes alot of people really, that arrogance.
[/ QUOTE ]
Concept first. I made a vow that the next STF I will tank would be an all scrapper stf and thats not going to change ever. I hate players that need certain sets with an absolute vengeance in fact I have kicked so many of my global for it that I have known for years. Now I barely know anyone.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well you still know me, hunso that's gotta count for something
I moved the Controller to Defiant now anyway, as I see to have more "input" from them, than Union-attitude to most things atm, so I decided to give Defiant a try with him (only the Controller -- tho the Scrapper might follow him if things keep going the way they are). So if you ever wanna try any TFs on there (as I have some time off now for the wife, as the baby is expected soon) -- then give me a PM and I'll sort out time getting on to give you a hand, as I need to get back into CoX again. -

Oh please, I played vs all of you, and I can kill, sure I can but I just wanna open the developers eyes that controllers are becoming underdogs and ill/emp= its a SUPPORT toon muppet what else do you expect of an freaking empath.... And trollers are nasty to fight with but if blasters get this boost thats what everyone will be making( already is )
And my fire/rad is still on farm build it hardly ever comes out in pvp... and well the other controllers are still in progress... I did a match vs myself when I switched and the amount of holds I could spam was EviL and don't even have the rech sets I want.... and not even halfway for the build I want.
Greetz REPELLIA !!!!!!!!!

And a Blaster dropping out of the sky = full Defiance.. gets lucky.. boom-headshot isn't overpowered enough?
I personally enjoy Defiance as it was.. i used to enjoy RIDING defiance.. get it as low as i can (killing myself intentionally) then laying waste to every mob around me.
As for PvP standards I wouldn't know.. but I've see some blasters in Siren's Call use the same tactic and actively look for DMG for Defiance to kick in.
I'm not entirely sure about this new "update" to Blasters, as I've not had the time to trawl thru a load of "I know best.. I've had a Blaster and died 10001 times to prove it* threads -- but Defiance on it's own made Blasters Dangerous -- Containment made Controller's dangerous. IOs gave other ATs that cud have it's Mez Rez broken by Controllers stacked Containment a fighting chance...
Much similar to Stacked CM vs Stalkers Hide/Stealth ...
It's how you play them, really...
But nothing is overpowered/underpowered really.. it's just how incapable some people are at them. -

SorryI've not been awake very long (night shifts ftl) and I didn't read through most of the thread sections -- no harm intended

Air Superiority... wonder why no one mentioned it.
I used it alot, found out a lil clinche in it.
Two types of DMG, Smashing and -Fly.
Secondary being smashing = Containtment DMG available when using Controller Holds/Mez/Immob. Useful when you exemp or are low levels
I personally recommend it to those that never knew about it. (not that they would admit to that)
-
I'll do what I can to help, an old friend.
It's not against the rules, and if there is anything I can do to help (as I have my own 37+ Ill/Rad Controller I've had for so long I forgot when I made him), advice wise, or Slotting, enhancements or Inf (if I have some spare) or otherwise, PM me on the forums, or catch me on my global. -
take care dude...
Don't let RL get you down... .. much -
It's just a general starting point.
If you choose Burke, you will spawn where EVERYONE else does. Who you choose to start with has nothing to do with it.
You just have a short walk down and out to get to Burke. -

Late to the list, as the team was full but now I think there is a definate spot for you. I did like Leese and his choice of epic I was looking forward to that XD . I have only asked those that said theyd be up for it so far.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hey you know me... RL and all that has ways of getting in the way... but I'm always up for it if I have time, you know thatxx
Let me know what's going on closer to the time, and I'll give you heads up on the situation. -

[/ QUOTE ]
SureI'll be on sometime normal time (for me now anyway, you know what I mean, hun.)
-
I'm available, cutie.
For the first weekend of September, then after 8pm next Saturday (working that Saturday), but available all Sunday. -
[ QUOTE ]
cheers for the support
I'll be ready for some more raiding hopefully around 9 ish tonight, so I look forward to seeing everyone there!
[/ QUOTE ]
Ready.. willing and able to Raid 2nite. -
Well if I get home in time for some later in day I'll come lend a hand as I've caught up on my Hami-esqué tactics for these raids.
Also any Weekend Raids I'm up for fully.. unless something else comes up. -
I work from 11am to 8pm, but don't get home till 10ish (late driving times/traffic) ... having one for the weekend would be better suited for me.. get one for Saturday time and I'll be happy to join.

"You don't pay my subscription", "Get a better computer" etc. I kept telling them politely that I personally had no problem with it, but it's polite to others to avoid as much GFX lag as possible, since the game engine is so ancient and crappy.
[/ QUOTE ]
Then those people need to get sorted out.
Considering the amount of trouble we had previously on Hami Raids either when I ran them or Lost did.. then those moronic idiots (people in regards to) will realise, that not only does it help those with lower end PCs.. BUT.. BUT.. it also helps the actual zone mechanics as well as it doesn't lag it out into oblivion.. ergo.. "failed raid".
Some people get lag.. other's don't but that doesn't mean the (KEY WORD) ----->> ZONE <<----- (KEY WORD) doesn't suffer from all the GFX/Animations/Action going on in one place!
Less things to draw.. the easier it is on the Zone itself to carry on working in one location. (Same rules apply for ANY Game or System out there)
So the "no capes" "no auras" "no wings" has more meaning than to do with the PCs daddy got themIt does in fact have more to do with the fact the zone can't handle the amount of stress XXX heroes/villians in one place at one time.
*shrugs* Not a hard concept to figure out.. but as said.. like on the Hami Raids of "oldeé" there are always those that have no consideration for others.. and wonder why we [censored] at them for it. -
Get some going on the weekend, and I'm game for anything.

Can't make that...
I have work from 1pm to 8pm and I don't get home until 10ish (transport depending), and it's the night before my wedding this week.
I can get involved if they're done on the weekend, but weekdays for the next 6 weeks is out the question.
Otherwise I have been studying the War Zone as well as tactics myself and a few others used, during the Closed Beta Event, so as long as you have a fair few people, I don't see you'll have many problems... ...so long as people follow orders -- but if our Hami Raids were anything to go by, it'll be madness incarnate for a while until people do. -

Is this gimped enough?
[/ QUOTE ]
I like the look of that one, actually. -
Specifically: "gimped for gimpedness sake"
and I'll play it to 50.
All those builds, the so called "we know better than you" and "Min/Max" morons, now get chance to actually choose a gimped one and I play it, basically.
People believe an Gimped build is pointless, my wife-to-be wants to see if I can play gimped builds as well as my "usual" and "perfected ones" - as they get boring after a while.
