Think more of like the "Focus" animation from Claws, with the rippling crap that flies at the enemy. The fist doesn't have to be a big blocky arm either. It could just be a single, balled fist with effects trailing behind it to indicate your arm. Of course, since you could color it, you could make it resemble your costume with fair approximation. I don't think it would look stupid at all so long as it happened quickly enough.

    I'll admit, it's not the ideal solution to an elastic limb set, but it's probably the closest we could get with the game engine.
    and it would be the most underused set because it does not match what elastic limbs is meant to be. this would be a waste of developer time that could be spent elsewhere.

    Plant Armor!

    well, i had to make a plant/rad since they haven't put this into the game yet. this thread definately deserved the necro approach though.
  4. so you went from an newer card to an older card? if i have that right, what went wrong with your other card?

    third question, did you completely uninstal the first video card drivers before installing the second card?

My expectations were so low I was simply floored by how much I could do to start but now that its useing my duel core what little graphic lag I had should now be gone. I feel like such a moron for not looking into this sooner.

    In short yes it worked fine with out it, now its working really well.

    Any one know If COH is useing SLI right? I have 2 Nivida GeForce 8800 GTS SLI'ed tougher COH is useing both right?


    Also the path

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\cohupdater.exe" -project Coh -renderthread 1

    Still isn't instantly connecting (or rather skiping the conecting process) its up to 9 and seams to be going slower than before.
    read the responses from kioshi and i, you DO NOT need the quotes around coh or the -renderedthread 1. and yes, what aggle said, you are using the wrong path which was my fault because you need to copy(make a short cut for) the game file, not updater file and add -project coh at the end in properties. that is all.
  6. he shouldn't need the -renderedthread 1 at the end. i have never used it and it works fine for me.

    The shortcut is set to.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\cohupdater.exe" -project "coh" -renderthread 1

    Its still checking for the server however it just got a conection after only reaching 10 that's a improvement over the average of 65/80



    ... I did NOT need to know this its not helping my depression at all.
    take out the -renderthread 1 off of the end and it will work.
  8. you can already do this by creating another short cut and adding -project coh(i think that is the right way) to the end of the .exe file. you will have to run the updater for any new downloads though.

    since you want to be a total ***, no. common sense tells you that if you are unsure or don't know the answer to something, you ask questions. or look it up.

    you don't need to scientifically know. all you had to do was ask before trying to do it. common sense for the win.

    yes you can. i have had no problem doing it at all. this is where the chat channels are your friends. of course, if you whine in game like you do here, then YOU might have a problem.

    mayhem exploration badges are the easiest to get. again, your whines mean nothing. all you are doing when you make a post is doing it to hear yourself type. since that is the case, open up word and go to town. but DO NOT post any of it here.

    give one valid reason other than "whine whine whine" that this needs to happen. i have no problem ever getting on an LRSF to get the accolade.

    as for this statement:

    The lowest level to obtain accolades redside is way higher than blueside, and this is not fair!
    this is an outright lie.

    who really cares. again, there are 2 accolades on villians that require you to do 2 of the sf's. hero side you have to run the original 6 tf's to get 1 accolade. your complaints and whines will get you nothing. infact all of your suppossed suggestions and ideas have not been suggestions and ideas but complaints and whines. and i'm running out of cheese so all you're going to get is crumbs.
  15. what is stopping you from getting it? seriously. i think it is a lot easier to get the villian sf's for the accolades then it is to get a couple of people to do a posi.
  16. stop coming to the forums and complaining. there are exactly 2 sf's that are required for 2 accolades compared to 6 tf's. grow up.
  17. you can try to take it to suggestions and ideas but be warned, alot of what you posted will get eaten to death. if you can not handle criticism of your ideas, i wouldn't bother.

    Fat and Chubby

    the thread was way dead. there was no need to reply to this thread unless you are trying to get yourself in trouble. and, as blue rabbit pointed out, you did not read the stickies very well. a new thread should have been started with a link to this thread.

    the problem is it would require new skeletons to be made. you would need new attachment points and everything. and honestly, how many "fat" superheroes do you see running around in comics or movies?

    or pick up tp on the toon you are power leveling yourself with so the lowbie doesn't have to run through PI.

    of course now that someone started this thread, i see castle nerfing the hell out of CJ because "it is unbalanced" in some way. please, someone send him some krispy kreams to distract him.
