  1. So I decided to take a break from CoH about 4 months ago. The last thing I remember was that I15 was nearing release. Now I just resubbed today and decided to see what's new? (Yes I'm well aware I can make the pink pom poms blue now)

    What else is there new though? Any small QoL or UI changes? (Those tend to be my favorite no matter how minor)

    Cyborg or Magic?

    Cyborg has a much more effective power, but the High Collar Capes from the magic pack are just awesome.

    Oh yeah, and also, did anyone else notice that they refer to choosing both color, AND theme for powers? I'm thinking an arcane rune blasting, er, blaster is possible.

    Not only does the newly updated Character Creator allow players to jump directly between Archetype, Powersets, Costumes and Character ID in any order without losing progress

    YESSSSSSSSSS

    I've always hated having to jump all the way back to change something (hopefully this also includes Origin; I'm the type of person who WILL reroll if my character concept changes after I picked Origin and I forgot to go back to change it).

    Agreed so, soooooo much on that. I leveled a character to 12, only to realize he was Natural (What I typically choose by default) when I wanted magic. Rerolled him.

    Haha, I saw the Vanguard bot there and for a second, I was like "Tell me how you upgrade your robots into THAT! "

    Ok OK , everything isnt as it seems

    I do not normally run around with the info window up looking at my characters awesome IO bonuses. This picture was to show that and it happen to have my GUI in the background

    This is what it looks like without the info window open.
    Also I usually zoom in and out with the camera depending on the situation.

    Most of my GUIs follow the same pattern...TP powers by the map, Extra powers are in trays, accessable by need... one time powers in smaller trays at top, Pet powers in a seperate tray(for RV farming mostly), Multi use powers closer to main tray, and extra powers on sides as well.
    For Fun...
    here is QUARX GUI

    And Here is my Tankers Combat GUI. The power trays in the middle are to make sure I know my sheilds are on, or Main Powers are ready.

    And TAXEE's Combat GUI... I hope that blows your mind.

    Sorry Rogue. Removing the info box isn't doing much. It's still a helluva UI setup. But if it's what makes you happy, then by all means, keep at it.
  7. Possible that they were trying to transfer money? It looked like it said 0 buying, 0 bidding, so maybe he was looking for something obscure so that he wouldn't accidentally give his inf to someone else?

    Edit: Ninja'd. Grrrr

    Double Edit: Also, Lucky, you have 666 posts now.

    Here is mine. I move the team bar close to my power bar if I run heal or buff class.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    ...how?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The Team window can be detached and moved like any other open/closable window. Look for the little filled in o at the top left side. Click that, and it will detach. Dragon drop it wherever you like.

    I think that was less of a "How do you do that?" and more of a "HOLY JESUS, HOW DO YOU SEE!?"

    Ok, so since we're also showing off Mastermind UIs, I'll show mine as well.

    Mastermind

    Also, since I noticed a lot of people have their maps out, I guess I'll show how mine looks. I personally don't like to have a small map, and since it's inconvenient to have a large, real-estate-stealing map open at all times, I have it bound to "V" to open it up on the fly.

    Example

    IIRC, /wdwsave and /wdwload are what you're looking for.

    Thanks a ton for sharing those.

    It doesn't rearrange the windows perfectly, but it saves a ton of time for new alts. I forsee an increased number of alts in my future.

    And yes, if I play a toon long enough, I do take the time on each of them to "match" the colors to the toon

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's ok, I do that for all my toons as well.

    Edit: Well, except for Street Wolf. And of course that's the one picture I chose to post.

    I'm actually kind of surprised more people don't scale down their GUIs. I couldn't stand how big the default one looks, so I have mine set to 75, and I've even considered cranking it as low as 70.

    Then again, I'm a big fan of the minimalist look. I have my map bound to Q and I just open up salvage/recipies/enhancment screens when I absolutely need to.

    Your Inspiration tray and Target window bother me

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I know what you mean. For a long time I used the default layout, but after awhile, I got tired of having a circle of windows surrounding the action, so I Moved them to where they are and shifted my nav window to where target used to be to make a sort of U shape in the windows, leaving the rest of the screen open.

    Mainly because I'm curious as to how other people arrange their screens, I made this thread.

    Anyway, here's mine.

    ITF and LGTF are daily .

    I like the write up. I pray that as we get new players that SOME will experience the game this way.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Daily? Wow. I've yet to even do either of them.
  15. Yes, that is probably my favorite 'feature' of I15.
  16. Yes please. This bugs me so much.
  17. Lothic, are you just copy+pasting that reply?
  18. You know, I never realized this piece was removed. I just assumed I was awful at looking for things, and that I couldn't find it in the costume creator.
  19. I remember awhile ago there was an awesome thread with unknown slash commands, and one of those was a really helpful command that the "World Detail" slider uses, the difference was that with the slash command, you could set the world detail over what the slider would allow.

    Does anyone know this command?

    (Any other commands that let you crank the graphics up would be appreciated too)
  20. Bah, the Patrol XP color fix didn't make it in.
  21. Oh man, I forgot about my main villain!

    Scrapyarder, who has nothing to do with the Scrapyarders, but I got his name when CoV came out and I hadn't realized there was even such a villain group.
  22. I have a Illusion/Kin controller named Indefinite Undefined. I've gotten some compliments on it.

    So I just got my new monitor in the mail today, and I'm really excited, however, when I went to play CoH (fullscreen), the game won't really load. It stays at a blank, black screen. Any ideas?

    Also what's the command I can use to make the game run in windowed mode?
