Can I see a screen shot of this out of curiosity? I just wanna know what this looks like.

Quote:Wow, then you must really hate comic books. A bit ironic this is a comic book game we're playing, eh?Originally Posted by Rockpirate
I see it rather as the hallmark for writers who can't come up with anythign more interesting, so they fall back on "It was really <this guy> all along." -
Quote:Arachnos is also Not a Nemesis Plot (although he's done his best to infiltrate it).Originally Posted by Golden Girl
That's an exaggeration
There was Mender Silos and Ouroboros, and the second Rikti invasion - things like Cimerora are almost totally Nemesis-free.
In any case, I'm surprised there are people who dislike Lord Nemesis and his bazillion plots and contingency plots to conquer the world. That's the hallmark of an excellent villain. -

They fixed it with the other mission, all other missions I have done that said "Find the Exit" usually had a clear marker on where it was at.
Kinda redundant to have the others with a marker and some without with the same Nav text. -

i've tried to emulate that bio on occasion. Just to capture that delicious combo of brevity and... uhm... flavor.

Yeah, as Obsidious stated, this is very much a known issue. I've had them do the same exact thing to me constantly now after Issue 16. It seems to have gotten worse lately with the recent patch that came out a couple days before Halloween. When Issue 16 first came out, occasionally one or two pets would get stuck at the elevators; now they all get stuck.
It's deeply frustrating as I really enjoy playing Masterminds. -
So... pets and allies that you gain in various missions apparently will not attack objects. I spent a half hour to an hour on my tanker pounding away at a meteorite in Atlas Park while Mender Lazarus just stood and watched. Lazy *** Luddite....
-
Some of the earlier stuff wasn't all that great to start with, and Portal Corp was introduced in one of the earlier Issues. Typically the stuff that comes after Issue 6 starts seeing improvement.

I know they are two different problems; that's why I only quoted his comment about the one. As for the elevator bug; outside of dismissing and resummoning, sometimes I've found that switching between floors can fix it. Sometimes not. And when it does work it's fairly time consuming; they run in and out of the elevators repeatedly until they settle down.

Quote:It's because people secretly like being killed by pigs. Why do you think there's so much doom and gloom hype around swine flu?Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
I'm trying out Aion for the first month, and this isn't a compare and contrast thread, but I realised today something that CoH does really well.
The tutorial and the early levels don't have us defeating rats or pigs or insects, but humans (or zombies or robots) with at least the appearance of active sentience. I think this avoids the new player thinking 'I just got killed by a pig? and quitting in annoyance.
There's also the 1player=3mobs thing, which also helps us think we're uber right from the start.
I just can't understand why CoH doesn't have 7 million players. It's just so good! Why can't everyone see the truth!

You can do Wiki?
I wonder if we could get a Championverse wiki going like Virtue has the Virtueverse -

Memory leak with masterminds
Note the guy with the flame pants and such is supposed to be the Pyromaniac.
Even though the names flipped, he still did what he was supposed to do, run in, burn them all and faceplant in style.
Note: I went from Cap to SI redside and it happened, the names were normal on the cap side, once I entered sharkhead thats when they were all messed up.
But I think this name flip is the tip of the iceberg with a very serious underlying problem. Memory leaks in the software code, pieces not being cleaned up properly or recycled.
when I dismissed them all and recalled them, the names were the same. (clearing old data)
Not to mention I've noticed my ping has been spiking left and right with more yellow lines than red causing random issues and random faceplants. The current pipe that CoX resides on should be re-evaluated.
when my ping goes from 90 to 3000 with only Cox running.... Theres a problem. and its not with my 2Mbit internet.
Also, is it just me or does their problem with elevators seeming to get worse? -
Quote:Precisely. It's a Nemesis plot to make you think he doesn't exist in Praetoria.Originally Posted by Jophiel
Pffttt.... not that they know of.

That's odd. My mercs have always scattered when set on fire. But yeah, do what they said.

I've beaten this mission twice solo. The trick? Get yourself obliterated by the Ballista, then he'll (hopefully) wander off into the hall and stay there. Use a Revive to bring yourself back and sneak past him with Ghost Widow. It's worked for me and is interestingly the only strategy I know that calls for your death.
-
Another feature of this bug, people appearing as someone else's name on the team, thus you'll see the same name twice. It's truly unusual.
-
Yeah, Dominators have the nice feature of instantly refilling their endurance bar after inflicting enough damage on their enemies. Certainly useful when you get stuck in an energy rut.
-
I dunno, but I think he's going out of business.
-
They also seem to like to trade names (well, the lower tier pets do). My medics or arsonists, for example, will not always retain the name I gave them and boast the name of one of their two soldier/thug chums and the other pet runs around with the name for said medic or arsonist. It's annoying.

Quote:Yeah, I did that... oh... six months ago when it was crashing every day. I did not have any problems until it seemed to hiccup yesterday. As I said earlier, though, it didn't do it today, so I'm not too worried as I was.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
you have to update to service pack 2
-
Y'know what? I'm going to dismiss yesterday as a fluke. It's been fine for months and it was fine all day today, ergo it had to be one of those quirks of technology. I'm only going to begin worrying if it happens again.

Today my graphics card did something it hasn't done in months since downloading the hotfix. Yeah... it stopped responding. Is this normal or is something new happening?

That and the fact that masterminds now aggro the whole zone in a wake behind them as they travel.
