I surmise that they changed the handle length, and where you hold it is moved down, to avoid the axe part "cutting your shoulder off" when you attack.
Axe animations have had this problem....forever. War mace shares the axe animations, so it has the same issue.
Call it a "stealth fix".
Edit:
They may have also done this to be able to port it to Titan Weapons, later if not already. -

Eh - daylight saving is the last Sunday in March/October or is the US applying it on a different date to everywhere else again. -
Quote:No, you do not get disconnected in mission.Originally Posted by Gaia
sounds like you were logged out for inactivity which happens in mish now as well as in zones. I guess no-one thought to test what happens if you are on that screen.
The servers all died for a little while.
Your first hint that it was not "normal inactivity logout" should have been the fact that he could not login on most characters or servers. -
Quote:I don't like screen clutter either, which is why I continually try to find a better arrangement, at least every couple months.Originally Posted by MaestroMavius
Just curious as it always amazes me how some can play with so much stuff on screen. I can't stand screen clutter and most of the time
I just need to be fully informed of the necessities, and, with a game with as many debuffs and chat channels and powers to monitor as this has, there are too many things that are, bare minimum, necessary to watch.
We really need even MORE customization of the UI.
1) We need to be able to individually resize UI windows.
2) We need more shape options for those windows as well as ways to move certain functions to other windows.
3) We need systems to be slightly less complex so that at least some of the UI necessities can become unnecessary.
Next to poor performance, the worst thing for any game is a bad user interface/controls. And, this game has the worst UI I have ever seen in a launched game, aside from non-functioning ones. -
Release the Arachnos Prisoners from Lt. Harris leads to an empty area.
The Arachnos Prisoners, and presumably their captors, do not spawn there, and there is no door to enter.
The mission tab also does not have the information for this specific mission in the short series in it, as if the quest hasn't really advanced to this point even though it is directing me to it.
Edit:
Well, today they finally appeared. Maybe it just needed me to relog. -

They didn't seem to get this to post to the announcements board so here is the announcement link:

Never mind.

Apparently this is a bit more difficult to find than intended so I'm posting it here:

Don't get your tights in a knot. They would be pretty dumb to not get the servers back up a.s.a.p.

Anybody else having trouble finding this:

....on the actual announcements board here:

?
Where did he post that if it isn't listed on the announcements board?
I bet many people are looking at the announcement board and not finding it. I had to search through my old bookmark of the community digest. -
It seems the forums now think I am a VIP.
I have seen this bug for a single page randomly about every day I check the forums, but now it is every page I visit here. I'm stuck with an orange name and supposedly full privileges.
....unless this is an intentional reward for something that I know not what.

I can't seem to find it on the wiki, at least not quickly.
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Catego...nment_Missions
Show us the link to where it is by searching through there please.
It may also have the information you may need to properly complete the mission. -
WOOHOOOO!
/sarcasm
I think the DBserver croaked again.
I originally saw Pinnacle greyed out and had to force the client to shut because my server wouldn't let me login.
I logged in again and clicked my server again, noticing 2 different servers were grey and Freedom was down to green instead of the yellow it was before.
The client told me "unable to connect to login server".
WHEEEEEEE!
Edit:
I believe somebody forgot to feed the server hamsters for too long.
Either that or, somebody tripped over a cord, unplugging it, or GREMLINS!!! :O Keep them away from water!! (...or was it spray them with water?)

I surmise this is a symptom of the bug I posted in this thread:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=285470
The left and top sides of the screen are messing with UI window placement, and thus extra power bars. -
Quote:The first and foremost priority of every game developer should be smooth performance and great usability, with no bugs in those(that may be hard but it needs to be strived for).Originally Posted by Tyranny_NA
I know if I knew anything about game programming my first priority would be to make sure buggy behavior in the A.I. would be ironed out before anything ever hit live. I'm just saying.
Sadly, many game developers, the ones who made this included, did not, and possibly currently do not, have that as their first and foremost priority.
That is why we have bad bugs and games that continually are lacking in performance compared to even older games with better graphics.
It is what it is, but we still work to make it as good as we can, in our own ways. -

It's the last mission listed.
You have to defeat a resistance leader and a syndicate leader.
FYI, sometimes enemies spawn outside the map, walk through walls, walk through the mission door running away or generally just bug out.
You use the report function to ask for general assistance from a GM if you are VIP. They will solve the issue or complete it for you. -
Quote:With the way this game is coded? I would not be surprised.Originally Posted by kangaroo120y
Would it still be lag if they changed their global 6 months ago and its still coming up differently?
Perhaps, the game may load up the global handles in order, until it finds the right one to display, every time you check it. Maybe if it does that, it loses the packet that tells it "next global" and so shows an old one.
Or maybe, this is just one really really strange bug that is much more strange and super rare.
I don't know. -
These are all pertaining to the male boots option "flat".
1) The "flat" option is missing the sub-option "tights sleek".(edit: apparently this pattern is missing from every instance of "flat" boots)
It has been missing for a long time, making a full suit of "tights sleek" impossible for male characters.
2) The male lower body heading "tucked in", with boots option "flat", is using the old "metallic tights" texture that is not shiny at all. It is just the old pattern before issue 17.
Maybe I should start a "T's Bug Hunting Expeditions" thread for all the bugs I have been finding without even trying lately.

Quote:I'm guessing that the game keeps track of every past global handle an account has ever had in order to accurately track global friend status with even players who haven't logged in for years.Originally Posted by kangaroo120y
yes I was using add note and get global name,each gave me different results to the same character that was right in front of me. I did a bit of quizzing and I do believe it was because the global was changed. Question is still, why are they different? what in this game isn't updating?
It's a typical result of lag. It just had the computer equivalent of a "brain fart".
Now, it could lag less and be less dependent on the server running things(more client based) to make these issues a LOT less common, but that's something that needs to eb solved at the very beginning of designing a new game. -
Quote:Ok. Somebody should tell them to make it more obvious, in the game.Originally Posted by Roderick
You are right, they should be more clear. However, there have been redname posts from the first day these went live confirming that these ARE NOT IOs, and DO NOT need an IO License.
I'm tempted to buy a stealth IO(if they are for sale in there) now. -
I'm not concerned. I'm just pointing it out in case they actually fix little quick fix stuff like that in patches and would like to know where it is.

Stand in that spot(facing north is best) and your aura will flicker.
I believe this is caused by an invisible object that characters end up standing inside of. Some graphical object is trying to take precedence over the auras there, like when viewing another character through a stealthed character and the auras(even from power) disappear. -
Quote:Wrong.Originally Posted by Roderick
There are NO IO sets that can be purchased in the store. All of the sets that can be purchased are Attuned Enhancements, not IOs. As such, they can all be used by any account.
There are "Crushing Impact" and other uncommon IO sets on the store. They say NOTHING about being "attuned".
(Edit: They only say that they scale with your character. They do not say that they don't require an IO license or the word "attuned" or phrase "account bound".)
There are special attuned sets now, that you can get through Super Packs and can only slot one per character for the archetype they are made for. Well, they are only attuned once you use an "enhancement catalyst" on them(I think).
Either way, if the IO sets, such as "Crushing Impact", are "attuned and usable by any character" then they should point that out.
It's another example of very poor documentation and hard to find info. -
Quote:1) I don't think any resistance is anywhere near the cap except for knockback or special cases like the above Arachnos Soldier.Originally Posted by Roderick
Many mez resist powers in tanker primaries and brute/scrapper/stalker secondaries give 10000% resistance, pluc a scaling amount of protection that ranges from about Mag 6 to just over Mag 10. This means that any resistable mez that goes over your protection level is likely to only affect you for one server tick.
As I recall it, the mez resist cap used to be 100%, meaning that durations were cut in half when the cap was reached.
And no, the mez resit cap is not "protection". Protection prevents the mez from ever affecting you, much like Defense stops an attack. Mez Resistance, like Damage Resistance, reduces the effect, but never completely stops it. While you might not notice a mez that lasts less than 0.1 second, it still happens, and will break interruptable powers, unqueue queued powers, suppress toggles (it used to detoggle them), and will detoggle enemy-affecting toggles (which usually have a long recharge). And no amount of mez resist will help against an unresistable mez.
Knockback protection is usually provided at the same time though so that the resistance doesn't come into play.
2) I'm not sure about PVP numbers, but I don't suppose those would be 10000% as that would make mez powers even more useless after their durations were nerfed to 4 seconds without faster recharges.
3) I know "protection" is not a numerical cap, but the "ultimate mez resistance" is one that prevents mez, thus "protection".
I said I was being snarky. :P -
Quote:Only the Archetype Origin enhancements(or whatever the specific set for each archetype is called) can be used without an invention license.Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
I envision all the IO sets will be on the market soon. I bet they are making a killing off of these.
The other IO sets, though they can be purchased, can't be used without an IO license.(as far as I know)
(They really need to work out a system to prevent people from making poorly informed purchases, especially when they have poor documentation.)
SOs are more than good enough.
Plus, you can use HOs while premium still, and these have always been good. -
Read this carefully:
Does it say "0/2 global" at the top of the server character select screen you used?
Or, does it say "0/2 server" at the top of the same screen?
Or, does it say "2/2 server" at the top?
1) The "0/2" stuff actually means you have 2 slots but you haven't placed them yet.
(Edit: I think it works this way. I haven't had any global slots to spend for quite some time. The server slots definitely work this way, recording only the ones filled by characters as "used".)
2) As soon as you use a global slot on a server, it is locked to that server forever.
3) As soon as you make a character using a slot, it is locked to that character until the character is deleted, BUT does not travel with the character in a server transfer(this sucks) so that you need to buy a slot on the new server to move the character.
I wish they would make this all simpler to understand and more obvious, especially the "slots are locked once used and won't transfer" part.
