  1. Windowed mode would be my only guess too. I can't get my music player to stay on top either, but I like the game full screen so I just.. live with it.
  2. Welcome to the game and welcome to Victory!
  3. Matter of opinion on some of those things.

    1: Vils tend to see a lot more Hero class mobs in later arcs than heroes see AVs.

    2: Vils DO get an epic pool.. Patron pools. Patron pools are IMO not as good as Heroes epic pools, but it really depends on what you're looking to use them for.

    3: I dunno how you play, so I really couldn't say.. I think if you're trying to play a vil AT like you would plays a 'comparable' hero AT, you are not going to like the outcome.

    4: Eye of the beholder. I like the Villain ATs better than Hero ATs, but matter of opinion and how you like to play.

    5: Tanks are better at TANKING than Brutes.. but Brutes are better at actually killing things and doing it quickly. YMMV depending on how you build your char, but I definitely love my brutes more than my tanks.


    I can't help you with 'Uber' vils.. I build to my own specifications. If you're looking for help building one of your high levels into a wrecking machine, you may want to try asking on the proper AT forum for the char you are interested in building up.

    Thanks!
    You still have to see a trainer to swap builds. If you're in a mish,you'd have to exit, otherwise just hit one between missions.

    But to the OP: yeah.. the 15 min timer would make this idea useless for most TFs I'm on. XD
  5. Make sure you're doing it in the 'edit signature' section, not the 'signature picture' which is below it.

    Player cards

    Playing cards like a poker deck? Nothing official, no. However there are companies who can make custom playing cards with images you provide.
  7. 4GB of RAM on a 32 bit system is a bit of a waste. 3GB is usually enough.

    My Vista 32 system is running 3GB of RAM and it runs City better than my boyfriend's expensive gaming rig.. not because I added ram, but because I dropped a better gfx card in.

    Check and see if your drivers need updates.

    Maybe ask in the tech forum and see if your gfx card is up to snuff.
  8. Learn something new everyday
  9. GL with this hun! I'm not home and don't have access to my game comp, so I wont be there, but I'm sure you'll have a good turnout

    We're still here We still do TFs and stuff. Though the group at large has a range of times in which they play, I can say that the main time that the 'trio' (Celerity, Valdy and myself) is on and running said TFs and such is roughly 8pm-1am est.
  11. I don't believe you can. I'm sure an update will come out when they have all the numbers and information needed to make said update.

    I KNEW you would :P

    I can't honestly see where you are coming from at all.

    Are you talking about how this will effect you?
    or
    Are you talking about how this will effect other people?
    Because if its about how other people play, it wont be a problem for you.
    How will this effect me? I think I'll be teaming with just my friends instead of everyone else. AE was already doing that, this will just push it more. I used to like to PUG.. met new people, some bad sure, but a few good people that have become my friends. But now pugging becomes and argument because everyone wants to do everything as fast as possible, or AEAEAE. (I swear if anymore people call me stupid because I don't like to do AE...) And I think this will just make that moreso because a team will be all over the place. "Let's go to RWZ!" "No let's do this!" "No let's do this!" Ugh. Yeah.. I'll be falling into the pit I always hated before. But it's better than arguing all the time.

    Yes some of these changes make general leveling easier, but it also slows down the "bad" ways as well so the net effect seems to be a polishing of the whole game mechanic to me. *shrugs*
    It's more that levels won't matter. It won't matter if you're 10 or 35 of 50. You can go do everything anyhow. Your level doesn't matter toward anything but your powers.. So what will people complain about next?

    This game is too easy as it is. Juggling teams gave it some illusion of difficulty. Making a good team was something of a skill. And now it won't matter.

    Again, I hope I'm wrong. And I'll just wait and see how it turns out. I love this game, but I feel like they are changing the whole mechanic of the game.

    But why bother leveling? I mean.. half the fun to me was unlocking content. Moving up to new Zones. Yes, even the hazard zones.. and now.. you don't have to? And if they take out losing powers to exing.. then wow. A lvl 4 mission with a whopping 12 mobs in it is gonna be really easy if you just bring a higher buddy along.. No waiting for powers to recharge, no worrying about stamina.. just let your buddy deal with it.

    I honestly hope I'm reading all of this wrong.
  16. I'm.. unsure about this. I'll reserve full judgment until I see how it is implemented and how it effects the game.. but I have to wonder.. what is the point in having levels at all anymore? Isn't the Insta50 button the next step?

    Sweet! thanks!

    Veteren Rewards?

    I dunno.. just for another POV I have to say I usually get the axe. But I'm one of those few who don't choose the power until I need it. I have blackwand/nem staff to buff my offense powers for the beginning levels.. Usually I find I never pick between axe/mu until I find I really need one or the other.. and usually I make that decision when I'm up against ghosts.. and then never use it again.

    I think the only ones I got Mu on and are happy with are my controller and my emp defender.
  19. Not sure aobut the chat logging.. but you can do /copychat tabname
    and that will copy all the lines in the tab specified. There is a line limit though, so if you scroll all the way to the top of the tab, you'll see the first lines that /copychat will grab. So if what you're looking to log happened before that point, you're SOL.

    EDIT: just to note, you have to actually paste the /copychat into a text editing program to save it. And unless they fixed it, it saves a bunch of coding garbage with it and can be super annoying to read.

    As for the sig line, just replace the url you currently have with this: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...postcount=1033
  20. I realized that the new forums meant a different url for the Raid Guide, so I thought I would drop this here so people don't have to go hunt for it

    Zoe's Guide to the Rikti Ship Raid
  21. Glad to hear things went well! ^.^
  22. Just wanted to say thanks hun despite my griping, I do appreciate it :P
  23. Gl with this! Not sure if I'll be available to show up as I'm extremely busy lately, but I hope all goes well
