  1. I'm on the road again this week and I'm getting dog performance from the game. I was told in the past that this client needed 10Kbps to function correctly.

    I bought a Verizon 4G card with a bandwidth measurement usage monitor a few months ago, I tested it with the CoX Client and in an evening (7-10pm), I used up 100MB. I'm in hotel with 384KB wired and it's dragging through the loads. I can't reach objectives to send the team to the next mish without it stalling/crashing.

    Also, over the past few months, the game client on ocassions appears haunted. I can't see teammates on maps for short periods, I can't dismiss my pets/call unless I zone., etc. I believe these experiences have been directly relate to bandwidth I was given at the time I was playing.

    I need an expert opinion about the game client requirements.

    I don't understand this. We've had all of this talk about if EU_accountX vs Na_accountx names are the same then x. How technically will this work then?

    Initially, I thought it was like this:

    -EU servers come/move under the NA domain...this is how we will use only 1 client, right? The EU client goes away.
    -EU server accounts can move to other servers, right? or will they just be able to create new accounts/characters on different servers?
    - The NA client will add global payment options(USD, UK GBP and EU EUROS)?

    I just find it hard to believe that NCSOFT is going to do all new software engineering to make this all work. I base this comment on the game. They reuse where ever they can. To do a true integration this will be a lot of work. I look forward to hearing about the techinical details.
  3. 1. For EU members, there is a signup in UK GBP or EU Euros. I'm in the US and I get a bill on my credit card monthly for $19.60(currency conversion and bank fees) for my monthly account. Will I be able to change my billing back/be given an option for USD after the merger?

    2. Will I be able to apply NA codes to my remergered EU account?
  4. I notice this on weekends.
  5. I've done it twice. last weekend and the previous one with zero escapes...it can be done! We did on last weekend with no lag.

    No
    So someone offering an item for 2,000,000,000 will never be filled because the buyer will have a zero balance so it has to be 1,999,999,999 to sell/move, right?
  7. Honestly, I think your going to have to either copy the old coh directories from your old computer and then install the updater to see them or install a fresh EU copy and THEN install the updater. Personally, I have not tried to install the EU client from the Updater but only updated it.
  8. Are you running the EU client from the desktop icon or the launcher? Are you getting this? It should be just click to play.

It sounds more like you need better personal habits than an organized file system.
    Visiting websites is not a condition to being hacked. If you believe browsing is the root of all hacks you have many things to learn about IT security. Some people assault networks for a living because they can.
  10. I'm willing to do any strategy. The team leader makes the final say so. I have done the way you mentioned with success so I'm cool with either way. I'm just say that with 8 member per gate that's plenty of fire power to kill them based on 3 hits/connects for a kill.

    The lag is an issue to consider but this TF runs during a time where this shouldn't be a problem. If this was late at night I would be concerned. Again either way is cool for me. We're talking about this now before Saturday so I'm thrilled were sorting this out now than "figuring" it out on Saturday in the realtime.

    Your funny Aggelakis, thieves don't "get" access, they hack in and steal while your computer is online/connected. I had 2 hacks in the last 6 months. One guy looked at a few files and left. The other left something which I removed later.

    These hacks came through a Mcafee/MFE, Cisco, Juniper Security Infrastructure.
  12. This is just comments about the BAF, there are only 3 exits, just have a team cover the exits not the entrances. I think it will be easier that way. It can be done either way but more effort is required when you cover the entrances.

  13. Add me to both. Diva Attitude, @gcarlisle, Grav/Elec Assault Dom. Thanks.

    I used to do as the user said above until window 7. The search is powerful so I just search for what I want I don't click through folders anymore. Besides, having an orderly computer makes it easy for thiefs. The MS search allows for a different way of thinking about file management.

    It doesn't mean "laptop built with desktop components". It's still built using the LV mobile varieties of processor, memory, video, etc and is not in the same class as a workstation built with the desktop versions of the equivalent model numbers.

    The old classifications of:

    Desktop: Low-end CPU and a little RAM
    Workstation: More powerful CPU and more RAM
    Server: High-end CPU and lots of RAM

    They don't hold up much anymore. Even low-end machines are phenomenally powerful nowadays and most of the difference is in how they're used rather than a specific component list.
    I just bought a "mobile Workstation" from HP 8740W for $20,000 with a extreme quad and 32GB of RAM and two GB Video Quadro Card and it will run circles around any desktop. I use it to model weather and simulate nuclear reactions.
  17. Graphics cards are everything today. Everything else on a computer is sufficient today to run CoH. Good luck with your decision. Also, it's not a laptop but a mobile workstation. Understand the difference?

    This is what I got when I changed it to EU(my NA settings are above/up...see the difference? I did get an EU EULA with this option.

    You can sell recipes to bartenders?
  20. If his old computer is still active, he can just copy over the City of Heroes file folder but make sure you rename "City of Heroes EU"

    Also, there are plans to move the EU under NA shortly. The client may not be available for new customers now.

  21. Log into the EU/Uk Ncsoft and download the client.
