You can also drag them in from other areas... as long as the kill occurs in the Misty Woods they count.

This technique is incredibly useful to grab lower level trolls for the "kill 10 under the Red River Bridge" mission in the Hollows...

Within each of us, ofttimes, there dwells a mighty and raging fury.

Does anyone know if the 10.4s render the ogl 4 preview drivers obsolete?

I am running the CCC 10.4 drivers with no real problems. Is there anything to be gained by installing the 10.4a and/or the ogl 4 driver instead?

Thanks for any advice!

I would be extremely careful about doing this on teams, though.. it gets real old real fast.

I suspect if Johnny Storm hears "IT"S CLOBBERIN" TIME!" more than twice a week he contemplates barbecuing that over-sized orange briquette...

/binding any sort of chat to powers, especially frequently used powers can be very annoying to other players on your team.

Try "/cursorcache 1"

One thing you can download that might improve your performance is a program called EndItAll. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,697,00.asp

Run this right before playing and it will shut down all the garbage you have running you do not need that is stealing resources from the game.

Good Luck!

I just bought and assembled the Father Xmas $1200 rig and I could not be happier!

If you can:

1. Thread a needle without going to the emergency room.
2. Have ever inserted an Atari 2600/NES cartridge and the game worked.
3. Can follow a recipe without making substitutions even though you know it needs garlic...

You can build your own computer... Honest!

This thread helped me immensely...

You might want to look at the Razer Naga...

Basically a mouse with 17 programmable buttons designed specifically for mmorpgs, you might not need a separate gamepad at all.

"IT'S ALIVE!!!! ALIVE!!!!"

Thank you so much to everyone that helped me...it is up and running and SpeedFan reports 24c on the GPU while running the game, all 4 cores under 29c... I can't wait to really tweak the Catalyst drivers using BillZ's settings and see what I can get for a visual treat.

If anyone wants help with installing the Heatsink ( manual unhelpful..) etc I will share my experiences putting it all together.

Thanks again...

Yup... videocard and ram are actually scheduled for delivery today, from a location 7 miles away...

In the MSI mobo box there was a little baggie with 3 header blocks (black, size of a chicklet male pins on one side, female holes on the other) in it, first one marked:
HD_LED+
HD_LED-
RST_SW-
RST_SW+
RSVD_DNU
so I hooked all the tiny front end cable leads to this first assuming red positive white negative(as labeled too), then sat it in the mobo (JFP1).

The second one had on it GND, SLED, PLED, SPEAKER and BUZZER... so I hooked the power LED, case speaker and buzzer cables to it making sure red+ wire connected to red+, black- to black-, and sat the header onto JFP2.

The third header in the baggie is marked with GND, + and - for USB0 on one side and USB1 on the other, so I left that in the baggie because the CoolMaster II leads were already a single block of cables for the front ( actually top) two usb sockets.

This particular third header also has VCC and USBOC written on it, though. Do you think I should use it for something?

Thank you for all your help guys in this adventure, and 24 hours from now I should have a full report of either triumph or despair!

(The MSI board in this Father Xmas build did come with 3 header blocks, which helped immensely...)

So..... I have everything all assembled, except for the videocard and ram, which are still on their way. I got an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, and on the sleeve it mentions it must be installed using an "OEM Preinstallation Kit"

Is this an actual piece of software I need, a set of instructions.. or?

I have installed win xp and win 7 before and never had to do anything special besides insert the cd/dvd and follow the prompts.

Is this something I need to worry about?

Thank you for any help!

Try
/cursorcache 1
while in game... worked for me and also got me the hand pointer back on a Mac.
Good Luck!

Thank you all very much for your help!

I read on the Newegg site that some folks found attaching the cooling fan to the cooler first, then to the CPU a bit easier, I will look at it all when it arrives...

Thanks Father Xmas to the link to MegaTokyo as well.. I had never read that comic series before.

It will be about a week now, because I need the money from the stupid flaming "Gamer Extreme" RMA to get the rest of the parts, then 3 days for UPS to deliver... Thanks again, and I will report back!

Help!
After getting burned ( almost literally) by a prefab rig from an online company that removed most of the case fans to make room for an Nvidia 285 GTX, I have ordered all the parts for a Father Xmas $1200 rig.

( The so called "Gamer Extreme" I ordered was showing 85C degrees on the CPU and shutting itself down after 2 minutes, idle...)

So... I was wondering if there was a standard "order of operations" (you know like PEMDAS in math class?") for assembly. I built my last rig, but that was 6 years ago and a great deal has changed, I imagine. What follows are my thoughts and questions:

1. Prepare the case. match up stand offs with the mobo, install the mobo back plate if any, and remove covers from the expansion slots. Pretty straight forward, I think.

2. Install the CPU. Should I mount the fan on the cooler first? Should I put the cpu in the mobo before I put the mobo in the case? These are the sort of questions I worry about...

3. Install memory. Again... before or after putting the mobo in the case?

4.Mount mother board now? Mount cooler next?

5.Install the videocard.

6. Install PSU. Does it matter what order I make the case/motherboard connections? Is one way easier? ( front mount usb/buttons headphone jack BEFORE videocard or mobo..etc?)

7 Install hard drive and optical drive.

8. Install Drivers and Win 7. If my motherboard comes with a cd/dvd of drivers, should I use it, or will Win 7 take care of that? If I need them, do I run those or Win 7 first?

If anyone has any advice, or has put together a Father Xmas $1200 before and can share some wisdom, I would really love the help. Please let me know if the order I am thinking of installing stuff is screwy...

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Other MMORPGs are to City of Heroes what Kansas was to Oz.

Thank you, Sir...
You are fantastic!

Thanks, I will give it a try, wish me luck!

Might anyone have a non IO build?

Do you think the best slotting for Static Shield would be a single EndReduction early, and damage resists as slots are available around lv 30?

Any help from any user of either Claws or Electric Armor would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks... I specifically am trying to use the wonderful "Speed on Demand" functionality. I would like to always Hover when standing still, and Fly when in motion. This is a breeze using CityBinder.
One option I have considered is directly cutting and pasting... copying the "c:\COH" folder ( JUST .txt files...my binds) from my WindowsXP install directly to ( hold on, finding quote from Redlynne...)

I am sorry if this is a silly question, I am still stumbling around figurung out how to place text files in various folders on a Mac.

By any chance is there currently an executable GUI driven version of Citybinder available for Macs?

Thank you for taking the time to help me!

Good Morning...

I am working on a Claws/Electric Armor scrapper named Trilobyte (kind of a play on a Paleolithic "computer bug")

I have never tried claws or electric armor before, and I was hoping some one might help me with a basic NON-IO leveling build.

I just hit level 11 and am wondering how many slots Static Shield really needs as my mez protection toggle? just an EndReduc and its good... or more?

Do claws attacks benefit more from 2 acc, 3 dam and an end, ... or a recharge?

By any chance does anyone have a NON IO build they could help me with?

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I also found that ComboFix was the only thing that worked.

I was nervous, because the documentation is real cautious with lots of warnings.. But it worked great!

Good Luck...
