  1. Hi Tago,

    I have a simliar vintage MacBook Pro. Do you have 2 graphics cards? I usually run COH on the better of the 2. I find I can run for hours without worrying about crashing, with one caveat --> /reloadgfx. I have it bound to the tilde key and hit it everyonce in a while. Macs use memory differently than PCs, so it just fills and fills till it dumps.

    Also, I don't have Lion, so I don't know if it's causing problems.

    Oh, and if you read the issues section for PCs, there are people over there having problems with crashes and freezes, particularily in the graphics intensive moments. So I get the feeling it's not something special to Macs.
  2. Raw Head Rex? (It's supposed to be horror, but well...)

    Examples of what could be used for the pets, or as base suggestions:
    Thugs- Rocket Girls
    Mercs- Knives of Artemis style?
    Robots- either keep them gender neutral, or the Victorias from Praet
    Zombies- um....do they even have a gender anymore?
    Ninjas- Use the sliders to make them more feminine
    Demons- Girlfriends from Hell, or just keep them the same/different colour?
    -At least give us the option to see the product, instead of assuming that people will get up in arms and begin to form a mob to storm Paragon Studios.

    Thanks for your time. This is something that I feel really strongly about.
    ^^^This, signed, in accord, whole heartedly agree. C'mon on devs, we're FEMALES DEMANDING THIS!!!!

WHAT IS THIS ****? Seriously, been a paying player since september 2005 and this game, mechanically is going to ****. Bad enough I dont have my most recent yearly "vet" badge but now, day off and I cant even log into the f'in game?!?!?!?

    Oh, I experienced this too. It was weird. But I backed out, ran the "repair" function in the launcher, and everything seemed fine after that.

    I run the repair thing a lot. I guess it makes a diff pschologically, if nothing else...
  5. I am 110% on board, in total agreement, starting to cry because now I know I'm not the only one frustrated with this!

    So, what did you think it was about?

    Between his name and the thread title, I will tread lightly and briefly here...
  7. I've had the same problem. It's not consistent, and I haven't narrowed any commonalities between each incident. I've taken to saving costumes a lot now, because I can never remember what faces I use.

    I've been thinking the same thing actually. I don't mind paying for costume sets and such, but are VIPs really going to have to pay for every new powerset that comes out? Is Time going to be the last freebie?

    Unfortunately, my altitis is such that I will gobble them up gladdly...ooooo, new shiney power, must have...

    Not impressed, really. I already have little reason to run it on my Rogues/Vigilantes due to having only one option of reward due to their not being Level 50.

    Now I have little reason to run my pre-level 20 characters through it.
    Going to echo this...

    Not a happy redhead...
  10. I don't know...that'd be a lot of power for 1 toon...

    As long as we're requesting... I'd love pieces of the Knives of Artemis costume, e.g. the backslung sword scabard. Oh, and quivers...need to put my arrows somewhere...

Since apple has chosen the intel path, then I highly doubt that there is going to be a point (soon) that the game will become totally incompatible.

    Hey Aries,

    I was curious, how old is your Mac? My MacBook Pro is approaching 4, and it runs everything including the game fine. Will probably upgrade to Lion sooner or later. Your Mac must be a bit older than that. I think that's awesome you can still run the game. I have a PC that's 8 years old, and I laugh at the idea of running COH on it. Just saying...
  13. Redside seemed fairly busy the few times I've been able to play. I don't have a toon leveled up very far there yet though, so I haven't tried teaming up or forming strike forces. Maybe it just needs more time to mature.

    Honestly, I'd hate to be a brand new player in the new "extended training" version on redside. It seems rather chaotic and possibly difficult to navigate. But maybe that's just me...

    (it often is)

    I would note that anyone upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard or Lion should be a little careful, as it's a shift from 32bit to 64bit. Some apps might not work in the newer system.
  15. And that is why I come to the forums. Bingo Fritz. Duh, me...

    Thanks!
  16. Hi, I just purchased the animal pack and took one of my characters to a tailor to give her a makeover. In the tailor window, I'm getting the right colors (cheetah style), but when I'm done with the tailor, she's purple, except for her ears and tail. I go back into the tailor the colors are right. I back out to character select, the colors are right, but in play, purple. Anyone else having a problem? Any fixes?

    Thank y'all.

It's cool they are willing to toss out free codes to promote the new pack, but it's been weird for me to have to wait LONGER to get it just because I want to PAY for it. Somehow that seems totally backwards to me.
    I have to agree. Why make those of us who have no problem PAYING for the pack wait? Why not make the pack available, then have contests and giveaways the same day or for the next couple of days? Then the NCSoft shop goes down. Grrrrrr (channeling new animal character that wants to be built, watch out...)
