    You can harvest Coralax in the Hollows (along the Red River). This was added with the revamp in Issue 12

    But the thing that's bothering me with the mac client right now (and this is huge. HUGE) is the amount of CPU and memory the current cider wrapper is gulping down whenever I start CoX. I'm running at 80% CPU on bad days, and 60% on good. I can barely run any app on the side apart from iChat, and asking Safari to work usually takes an act of god.

    Now yes, the new client wrapper is way better. Smooth, easier loading, etc., but at the cost of making my machine an utter piece of crap (which it very much is not).

    Are we going to see an end to this? Will the mac playerbase see a more efficient cider patch that doesn't take away the new performance?
    Realistically? Not likely. Wrappers and virtualization have almost always been expensive, resource-wise.

    What specs are you running? CPU,Memory,Video, etc?

    I found that upgrading my Unibody Macbook's memory from 2 to 4 gigs added a noticeable difference in performance.

The game is simply very unstable on that iMac in addition to the performance not being particularly good. I end up with a lot more stable game on my Macbook Pro which is over a year older and has half the RAM.
    Your 23" iMac likely has a higher native resolution than your Macbook Pro, hence the issue. I would suggest running at a lower resolution and in windowed mode. Windowed mode for macs is accessed by hitting Command+enter while in game.

    At least, I think it is. It's been a while since I'be actually played on the Mac
    client. I've 'only' got a 1st gen unibody macbook and prefer to play on my PC desktop.

    And if this is the case, should it not be listed in the GMOTD?
    There have been others.
    I remember the badge (Heart of Light/Darkness) awarding at Midnight according to the server time. This caused confusion since the servers are split on the two coasts.
  10. Did you look at the ingame help from one of the arena contacts?

    Quote:
    Swiss Draw Tournament - This new arena match type is a two-phase tournament that returns you to the Battle Terminal between matches. During the first phase, each player who enters this tournament will square off against another player. Once a 'Top 8' has been determined, the tournament enters its second phase. The second phase is a single elimination style tournament where only the 'Top 8' can continue. Those who do not qualify are removed from the tournament. The single elimination tournament continues until the last player is standing and that player is declared the winner.
    That's also available on ParagonWiki at the Arenas page, specifically under the Games Information Agent's paragraph.

    There is also the original patch notes (archived here)

    Swiss Draw: An 8 to 64 player tournament that will have players duking it out 1 vs 1 until the top 8 combatants are chosen. After this point there will be three rounds of single elimination to determine the winner of the tournament.

    I have not been able to access my faces account, @Lunar Veil, and it is irritating because there is no way for me to retrieve my password. Anyway, HUGE suggestion, please at least let me know if I am missing something? I have requests waiting that have been sitting for oh, a good long time 0_0 Thanks
    Well, this seems to be the first I've heard about it, but I can take a look once the sites are back up.

    It's decent. For reasonably cheap, you can upgrade the ram to 4 gigs on NewEgge. I put this set in my 1stgen 13 Unibody Macbook.

    Also, unless run the App bundle from the command line (and I don't remember how do do that specifically), you'll need to copy the City of Heroes APP bundle for the second copy. There are a few tips and tricks, such as /MaxInactiveFps
  13. Yeah, I had one award late about 7 or 8 months ago. You need to file a petition with support to have them look at it and award it.

    Did your team have the specific challenge settings in place? Cause I'm fairly sure that's how they track the 'Master of' badges

IE, your player model and costume wouldn't go away, there would just be a new set of 'Granite' armor pieces overlaid.

    I haven't made any decision to do this, it's just one of the options for dealing with the multiple issues we have with Granite Armor and I wanted to get a sense of how many of you guys wouldn't be able to adapt to a change like this.

    Before anyone asks, no...we couldn't have it both ways.
    I'm torn. My /stone brute really enjoys the height change aspect of the current granite armor. I've set him up for Min legs and min height on his sliders "Who are you calling short?" *pops Granite* RAWR!

    Of course, with the science booster, there is a bit more lenience towards this aspect.

    One thing I'm concerned with is the justification of the penalties of granite. It was pretty easy to see that this hulking golem wouldn't move very fast or jump.


    Another thought: could we have it both ways? Hear me out: do your new rock pieces for granite. Then, have whomever create a temporary power similar to the halloween costume change stuff and have this power unlock as an inherit when granite is selected (similar to Khelds forms). Now, I would have the costume cost 0 endurance and have no other effects, aside from changing your character model. Would this be prohibitive?

    Not anymore :-/ back in the day I remember the big trainers having the info blurbs. That was before they added all of the "help" text to the boxes

    New badges squeezed into the middle of the list changes the value of the rest of them.
    You'd have to get an updated list every time there are new badges.

    On a side note, you can always click on the badge you want to set as your badge title, but for Gladiator badges.. you can find the current list of the Gladiator settitle values on badge-hunter.com - Gladiator Badges and I believe City Info Tracker Badge List shows the settitle for every badge as well. I'm assuming the numbers are current, but keep in mind they could change Soon™ with i16 around the corner.
    CIT is accurate as of the latest live patch, and we've got our eye on Issue 16's changes to the /settitle list

    How much RAM do you have?

One nice thing about spam e-mail (what? there's a good thing?) is that spammers were much more quickly reported and much more quickly dealt with.

    Right-click on the character name and hit "Report Spammer". Character is ignored (now globally), and marked as a spammer. The higher ups advised a /petition, but it wasn't required.

    EDIT: Part of me is giggling that I sent TonyV a link to his own site

    This. There are options at the top of the columns called "None". Use those and you won't have the titles.

    You will need to set it for both the Common and Origin titles
