    I see where our confusion comes from with regards to that contest... from the rules itself:

    I'm totally feeling ya there, man. Sometimes I think MMO's would be so much better if it weren't for all the people...

    I'm not on nearly as much as I used to be, so my time is a little more stretched, but if you ever need help shoot me a tell and I will see what I can do! Global is same as forum name.

    Your supergroup is also a great place to get teams going, as well as the broadcast channel, though that's zone specific. As well, don't forget to add the 'zone events' notification to your tabs, so you can see when certain zone events/giant monsters spawn.

    You can have more than 1 global channel; I think it's either up at 5 or 10, but I am not sure. Join all of the ones mentioned previously, hang out for a while and then pick the one that best suits your wants and needs. Or stay a member of all of them! Don't worry about the history of the channel, how long it's been around, who's the mod and who isn't. Pick a channel populated with people you like, and can talk to. The rest will fall into place easily.

    Good luck and happy hunting!

    I ask because you can have a max of 50 people in the hive, and that works out to a 1:1 ratio of magotential person in zone.

    If Hami in the LGTF is a scaled down version, shouldn't it still be a 1:1 ratio of people:mag? Otherwise wouldn't the LGTF Hami be considered harder, since you have a 1:1.25 ratio on the holds?

    Just as well, I suppose... it'd prob end up in Toronto if there were any, and you couldn't get me to go to TO if you paid for my ticket and promised me an unlimited supply of Keith's when I got there....

    So it's only borked for LGTF then? 50 mag shouldnt be too hard for a group of 50, huh?

    Cool - the link I had posted was the patch notes, but in the thread there was someone who ran the LGTF after the patch and couldnt get the green mitos down because of the bug.

    In any case, glad to see it fixed! If I am around I'll drag River into the Hive again for you!
  8. From a marketing prospective it makes sense - the people going to Hero con already know about CoH and play, while people at the other cons may not. It's a way to get info out about the game, but still... it sucks. I know a lot of people look forward to HeroCon.
  9. Kid, it doesn't look like there was a fix for the green mito issue in this patch today, and apparently the problem is still occurring on the LGTF, which means it's prob still happening for the original non-tf instance as well.

    Are you still planning on the raid even without the green mito fix in place?

    The one thing that MAY be a problem is that the Trick Arrow set does not have a heal. I'm not sure if the demon powers have a pet with a heal.
    The first summoned demon (the tier 2 pet) has a heal and shields, and you can slot it for resistance and heals as well. Not sure if that aspect of slotting is worth it though...

    I was thinking of trying a demon/TA... maybe I'll hold onto that and create it on Freedom for days when I am off and no one's around. Let me know what it's like though please Vega? I am curious!

    Btw, demon/dark got a lot more interesting once I got fearsome stare. And by interesting, I mean carnage-filled.

    I just wanted to apologize again for having to bail in the middle of it last night. I had gotten a new computer with a sassy video card, but was having OS probs on the new computer. My friend was supposed to come over and work on it today, but he decided to last night - so I had to bail. I'm really sorry about having to bail.

    On the plus side now though, I have a shiny new sassy computer that works!
  16. I had submitted an email previously with the dx.diag report. Then I got a request for the heroes test.txt which I also added. I know it's added because I can see it as an attachment when I look at 'my stuff' and the open question for tech support.

    Guess what I got back as an answer? We haven't gotten the attachment yet. BULL. I can see it attached (as per the instructions I followed to attach it that were in the original email asking me to do this test in the first place), and I know it's attached cos it SAYS it's attached.

    Now, there are 4 copies of this test.txt attached to my email. Hopefully someone will be able to see ONE of them.

    I understand from the boards that tech support may be overwhelmed here, but c'mon. Throwing bad service at us in the hopes we go away is not going to help.

    Is anyone else getting supremely bad customer service/tech support here? Are there any quality checks in place to ensure these guys aren't just blowing emails away without even looking at them, cos that's sure what this seemed like.

    I wish you luck with that.

    I will post any response I get here in the hopes it helps someone else, but tech support is taking FOREVER, and I am not too hopeful given the response I got earlier asking for information that I HAD ALREADY SUPPLIED in the original email...
  18. I uninstalled my video driver and reinstalled, and it didn't do anything. I am still having the problem.

    It's good to know that I am not alone in the issue though, and it's got to be a game problem since it's more than just me and you, and we each have different video cards.
  19. Well Battler, I got a response back - they wanted me to dl a file that runs a scan on my system and does a printout of what I have, etc. Funny thing is, in my original email, I included a copy of a dxdiag. Is this not the same information?

    I'm getting more and more frustrated as the day goes on. This was supposed to be a fun day for my friends and I, all of us playing and exploring new content. Instead, I'm stuck on the sidelines running into walls due to this bug.

    Well I hope you get the idea, and don't try to do anything else.

    Well that about sums it all up really, I'm sure i17 is really great, but considering I was playing fine the past 4 and a half years...apart from one hicup on a few alts with the /sync problem...that only effected 1 or 5 alts,fine for someone with 2 accounts, 1 in the EU and 1 in the NA and over 100 alts at that time to having probably over 200 now, 5% loss of access to characters, heck even 50% loss of characters, at that point would of been flippin annoying and I would have been, it would not have stopped me playing the issue.

    This on the otherhand effects both my accounts AND all of my characters, it's not server or character specific...it's TOTAL.

    Happy Anniversary, my ex wifes more fun than this
    Are you having the delay with the typing in chat windows too? I can move around using my mouse, but honestly, that's really irritating.

    The link is to the ATI card help, which I already told them I didn't have, and the forum link is...to here

    That's some awesome customer service right there. I bet they didn't even read your email.

    Let's give him info to a card he doesn't have, and link to a thread that not only has he already been posting in, but links to the link we just gave him as well.

    Which has me more than worried to be honest, especially if this is a large tech issue.

    I have checked all my vid card drivers, unintalled and reinstalled, they all worked fine before i17, heck I was even all over the shard no problems on sunday, and have done 3 or 4 itfs alone in the last few days to let alone other TF's. I play 8 hours a day minimum at the moment. I know my computer worked fine pre i17, so something in i17 is the cause of the problem, not my system, or anyone else whose systems worked fine pre i17.

    Anyway I'm going to stop there, working myself up a bit so stopping typing, and hoping that this is fixed soon.

    I hear ya man. Mine worked fine before the patch. Never had a problem like this before. I've updated my drivers for both my keyboard and video card, I've checked the settings in game, everything looks ok. I can run with the mouse buttons (which I HATE) and I can use the number keys and have no problem with power activation... it's just the typing, and traveling. By pressing the W key to move forward it's causing such a lag that my computer is beeping angrily at me. It's frustrating, and knowing I get that kind of customer service delay to look forward to is even moreso. Do me a favour and post your response here? I'd appreciate it, and I know the frustration you're going through

    I did what the file says, and it's not helping at all. I don't know what to do now. The game is literally unplayable like this. Anymore suggestions?

    I really don't understand what's happening, since Ultra Mode wasn't supposed to affect anyone unless they activated it, and I did not.

    Please, any suggestions?

    Anyone got Teamspeak status?
    I have a friend that it's affecting their team speak. It's not affecting mine, as it happens whether I have TS up or not. I turned off the hotkey pulling and it's still happening.

    NVidia released new graphic drivers for my card a couple weeks ago and I just updated them, but this problem still remains. Anyone else having this problem and possibly a fix?
    Same problem here. All settings are as low as I can get them, and it's bad.
