    "OMG WTF why do you ***** about this for no reason STOP OVERREACTING what's the big deaaaaal rrrraaaarrrrgggghhhh *drops down with foam at the mouth*"

    Fanboy goggles sure seem fun.
    Creditability loss with calling people that disagree with you a "fanboy".

    Meanwhile in the real world... Numerous factual complaints have been made about the NCSoft launcher, such as it being a performance hog, crashing, causing blue screens, and so on. Sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending the problems don't happen because they don't happen to you personally works when you're a toddler who doesn't want to eat his vegetables regardless of how many starving african kids stories mommy tells him, but it's kind of a silly attitude to have as an adult.
    Most of the complaint were from people that were familiar with the old NCsoft Launcher and were ***-uming that they were just adding CoH to that old POS.

    While folks are still having errors, I hear a lot more people commenting on how much nicer it is than the old NCsoft Launcher as well as the old CoH launcher.

    Have you, in fact installed the new launcher, Nihilii and tested it out yourself? Or are you just regurgitating the same DOOOOOOOOOMMM! others commented about when they heard about the new Launcher?
  2. Much of the player base were clamouring for 'end game' content. That being said, do I feel that I absolutely have to play my 50's?

    No.

    Matter of fact, I was on my lvl 21 Defender last night, dragging around a bunch of friends on their 13-38's on Mercedes Sheldon's arc.

    I look forward to getting my Ouro portal on her tonight, the old fashioned way.

As someone with bases and the community in mind all I want is to see some kind of attention to bases, and for people that say bases are but a small part of the game...park your but out side a base portal...any portal any server and see the traffic coming and going and i will show you bases are being used for something....don’t know what but people are going in and out.
    Those are the same ones claiming that the servers are dead and they can't find any teams.

    "But it's DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" right?

    Not really. And with a bit of tweaking, you can get it outta your face and get yourself into the game with a minimum of fuss and muss.
    Thanks Hyper, I'll be installing the new launcher this weekend and this is a big help.

I very much appreciate the instructions and the screenshots!

    From what I've heard, this Launcher is new and not the same POS that most of the people playing other NCsoft games were used to.
  5. No.


    I'd rather see the Pool Powers get their customization first.
  6. *shakes fist*

    Damn you, Hyper! Had me ecsta... I mean worried for a second.

    <.<

  7. My answer is the same every time this comes up, as long as it's an option. Personally, I'd like to be able to have the option of my Phantom Army have the same appearance as my Phantasm, barely there.
  8. Also, Win7 gives you a little app called 'Snipping Tool'. Makes it very handy when you want to take a screenie while within the character creator.

    I have it attached to my Task Bar for ease of use. Icon looks like this...

  9. I had this issue with Firefox on the Mac at my old job, I think it actually had to do with the mouse not being completely functional. Sometimes the scroll ball would work sometimes it wouldn't, more often than not it would scroll up but not down.

    As far as the game's subscription goes, a year's sub is $143.40, equal to $11.95 a month.
    Depends on your local taxes, but somewhere around $143 is correct.

    (btw, although you get the mission in KR, that's actually the Atlas Park Safeguard...
    So it is, I'll change that.

    And I've seen it occur on non-VidioTmaps as well.

    Hai guyz...

    Wait... PK, you left?
  13. I was just able to update mine, though it took me inputting my image's url twice to stick. What the forums did do was eat my bug post.
  14. While running the Atlas Park Safeguard mission, when I had the minimap open and was moving my character's icon and objective icons would shift, some of them completely outside of the map boundaries.

    Both Dual Pistols of course.

    And gratz on the cool artwork!

    Trapdoor crash

    What happens if you just enter the mission and do nothing? Does it still crash?
  18. I'd see Prestige Earned as just another filter and have to agree, that as far as ranking goes, it's pretty meaningless. I'm sure that there are plenty of people out there that don't even know about the SG search function.

    Not saying that it shouldn't be listed, but I don't think that an off-site SG roster should list them according to their Prestige, I'd prefer Forbin's suggestion of Server specific and alphabetically, with filters for RP, PvP, Farming, Theme, etc.

    I dislike beta because it feels like a waste of time. Nothing you get or do there has any effect on the "real" game, so other than popping in there (and wasting time you could spend doing other things by having to update for the patch) and testing huge/obvious changes, I see no reason to stay more than 5 minutes.
    I feel the Beta has a very big impact "on the real game", that's one of the reasons for being in there. To look for things that are broken, things that are inconsistent, you know... bugs. So that they don't make it into the live version.

    The whole purpose of crash-testing cars it to see what happens to them in a crash, and then work out the design defects to make it safer for those in the vehicle.
  20. Basically, it unlocks access to Praetoria, and some of the Going Rogue systems like alignment switching with the tip mission, and also the Incarnate system. There is nothing else you have to download.

    Enjoy.

    Heroside, I dismiss anything Carny. Just not fun. Same with Malta, except on my fire tank, they're a good challenge for that character. On a team I just roll through anything blueside, though.

    Villainside there is only one that I will always skip. "A Tortured Scream". I'm pretty sure it was named for the sounds made by those that actually play it. On a huge CoT temple map you get to find a blinky, find a boss, find 4 more blinkies, then find another boss. Never doing it again on a team or solo.

    Howbowchoo?
    Depends on what character I'm playing, Mental Biscuit. For some, they would not choose either option, for another he chooses the one that would suit his actions best. Not a speedy path to Hero or Villain, or Vigilante for that matter, but that's the way I play my characters.
