  5. I'm pretty sure they were.... Temporary changes till they could implement all that they wanted to. The changes made were made mostly for reena. Zonal is just a bad side effect.

    A feature that was enjoyed by a significant number of people was "temporarily" removed and has now been gone for a while. It needs to be fixed, regardless of whether people are getting emo or ragequitting over it.

    PvP first. Wait in the line like the rest of us

    That's all that needs to be said.


    The main problem in my opinion isn't lack of subs, it's lack of people logging in. I bet there's a fair few people with active EU subs that don't log in for whatever reason. I know of at least 20 accounts that are active but are never logged in because they're on the US servers or just having a break and not wanting to lose any vet time and i'm sure there's many more like it.

    I know this is hijacking this thread a little but it's about time the dev's started to look at accounts signing in, not just active accounts as their figures for EU population.

    Because, lets face it. Anyone who plays EU side knows it is now pretty darn silent.

  9. Petitions go to GM's bugs go to developers so a petition would the best.
  10. If people are leaving the game because the TF level bug then they were ready for a break any way tbh.

    Best Trash Talk

    It's funny you guys are mentioning that dude...


    On day last week he was running his mouth off in RV saying "no-one can beat me, i'll fight anyone here and win, even on my troller"

    Someone told him to shut up because he sucks to which he replied "I'll bet you all my purples on this account that you can't beat me"

    I asked if i could take him up on that offer which he agreed to.

    I kinda broke the No FC rule but i felt this case was justified as a nub on a grav/therm talking smack was rather lol.


    I won, without breaking a sweat and asked for my purps.... He insta logged. Not seen him since but i've given him a few offline tells to remind him

    Read this thread

In addition to having the slot locked, Noah was perma-banned and his characters were deleted.

    Wait till you see our flying Elec blasters


    On a serious note, i don't think our Sniff has a dark/rad. I could be wrong, so if he has, he would've been messing about. We don't use fly lol.

    Oh, and thanks for the welcome guise!
  15. We've decided to finally take action and open up US accounts.

    Well, we've been here for about a week or so PL'ing toons to try and get a decent roster together and we're not doing bad. 7 of us are about already with a few more to follow. We're quite a competitive bunch so we'll be looking for team PvP fights as soon as we're able too.

    Only 3 of us have got a toon we can PvP with at the moment but that will change in the next few days/week as people trade inf through the markets. Myself, Global Handle and Sniff were Stalking earlier today in RV just to get a feel of things and were impressed by the amount of people there (Union RV is a ghost town most of the time).

    The down side was that there seemed to be a lot of nubs about talking smack on their Regins and trying to fiteklub but i guess that's to be expected.


    So anyway, hai to the freedom folk from us, you'll be seeing us around!



    SU/Disruption
  16. Done both... I only posted this to see if others we're getting the same thing. Which judging by the tells i've had they are. And more petitions the better.


    Looks like we might be having a re-roll
  17. Me and my friends have just logged in on Freedom after the patch and tried to run a few AE missions in Nerva.

    As soon as we start the "TF" it instantly d/c's us and now those toons won't load back up, they get stuck in loading screen.

    Has anyone else noticed this yet? I would ask someone else to test this for us but you could lose a toon.


    Edit... A friend tried it in Atlas with the same result. This can't just be us.
  18. If your exemped or SK'd in TF mode it doesn't allow you to buy things with tickets. Just leave team, wait 30 seconds and everything should be ok.

    Fps Issues

    I tried the MA mission... And the same thing.


    I don't know what it was about that mish, but something made me pull the side off my comp and point my desk fan at it. Instantly the FPS went up which made me investigate.

    Currently using 3 core temp utilities which are all reporting different temperatures. If i take the average, my CPU is idling at about 52 degrees (with desk fan still) and under load, i saw it reach 90 (one instance of CoH). Not good lol. It's been doing this for a while so i think i've been lucky that it's not fried or melted by now.



    Anyway, the point of this post is to say thanks for all the help and suggestions given as ultimately, they helped me find the cause of my problem, even though it wasn't what we thought it was.

    So, thanks all

    Fps Issues

    I have previously turned everything off/down separately to try and isolate the problem and nothing significantly boosted my fps.

    So then i tried safe mode... And it did the exact same thing. It was weird because even the safe mode fps was only 30-40 to start with which dropped to 15 after then 10 minutes play.

    I'd put it down to a faulty gfx card if i hadn't tried 3 different cards.

    Fps Issues

    I had already thought it would be the drivers and had tried a few different ones. I've now done as you advised Texas and with DriverSweeper each time, i have tried 190.83, 191.00, 191.01, 191.07 and even the beta 195.39.

    I'll try a few 18#'s and a few 17#'s but i'm getting doubtful it is the drivers.


    Any other idea's?

    Fps Issues

    Hey guys and gals.

    I'm a bit stumped and would like your advice/help.



    When i first log into CoH my FPS is always at a steady 30 or so. After 10 minutes or so it drops to 15 and lower, then stays fluctuating there for the rest of my gaming session. I've tried altering all the graphics/sound setting to see if it boosted performance but once it dropped to 15FPS it seemed no matter what a turned off/scaled down it didn't move.

    My rig is getting old now, so i know not to expect the best performance from it and put this FPS drop down to old gear and decided to upgrade, piece by piece as i haven't got the money to get everything at once.

    I've currently got:

    Msi P965 platinum mobo
    Vista 32bit
    Dual core 1.8 E6300
    2 GB DDR 667 ram
    Segate 500gb HDD
    Geforce 7800GTX/GTX260


    I started upgrading with the HDD. I had an 80gb one but it was ancient and was getting very poorly. Then, just recently i upgraded the GFX card as it's the next oldest thing in the machine.

    I assumed, while the CPU would hold it back, it would perform leaps and bounds over the 7800 but apparently not. The same thing occurs.... Loads up with 40-50 FPS but then 10 minutes or so later, it plummets to 15.

    I only use a 17" display with 1280x1024 resolution so it's not like i'm asking much of it.


    My guesses are: CPU is really bad, lack of power or faulty ram. Although i have done a memory test and everything was good.


    So guys, what do you think? Here's CoH Helper

    Thanks.
