Well, we know it isn't pohsyb.
He now resides elsewhere in an iBox. -
I have a Pillar of Ice and Flame in my base. It adds no additional cost to base rent.
The base portal is extremely convenient to Taskmaster Gabriel.
Similarly, an Invention Worktable could be placed in the base for no additional cost to base rent. -

I had no problems getting him to accept running Missions in Ouroboros for completion and got the 2 Empyreans as a reward for completing the arc.
All done through Ouroboros since I had already completed the arcs normally before he was put in the game.
Make sure you are talking to the contact after getting the end of arc reward table or the game won't consider the arc to be completed. -
If you do not have any Enhancement Converters you won't get the Convert link on the Enhancement tray.
I didn't remember to look at TJ's tray after he had used some to convert a few enhancements and was out of Enhancement Converters to see if the link disappeared, but I know that on characters that haven't gotten an Enhancement Converter that the option isn't there. -

Steelclaw, those are great suggestions.
Of course, most of the board populace are going to think you have been kidnapped and replaced with a Nemesis automaton since it was not a humorous list...
You mean his previous lists were supposed to be humorous?
Hmmmm.
If you say so.

My first red name post! Huzzah!
I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. You can all call me The 4ft Fury. I've been a part of the COH environment team for a little over two years now helping out on environments such as the Victorian mansion interior/exterior as well as the Atlas Park and Dark Astoria revamps. I had the pleasure of meeting some of you during the player summit and look forward to interacting via the forums as well.
Anyway, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who is choosing to participate in this contest! Were seeing some great submissions so far and I know I cant want to see what other fantastic things you guys come up with. Good luck, get creative, and more importantly have fun!
Hmmm. I'm not certain who you are, but I guess I'll have my curiosity sated at the Spring Pummit.
Welcome to the madhouse we call the CoH Forums. -
Quote:Aside from having designed the game engine (which is why the logo is still on the game) Cryptic hasn't had anything to do with the game since November 2007.Originally Posted by Dasher
It's yet another signthat Cryptic values new customers more highly than loyal ones, but there's a whole generation of business majors who think that's the way to go these days, and hey, given the great state of the nation's economy, how could they be wrong?
That being said, how many points additional, as a VIP, did you pay for Darkness Control? Time Manipulation? The Dark Astoria content? First Ward content? Signature Story Arcs? The new Mid-level story arcs? DFB? DIB? All of the powerset proliferations (17 with just I21).
Oh right. You paid 0 points for all of that new content.
Yes, they've introduced a new business model that has some F2P elements and a microtransactions system. That system now has ala carte items instead of having to wait for them to release a Super Booster with a bunch of stuff you may not want but one or two things you absolutely want.
So, how much money have I spent outside of my subscription to enjoy the game and get goodies from the store? Not a cent. I've bought Super Packs. I've bought powersets. I've bought a German Shepard even though only one character will use him. I've bought emotes. And I've still not spent a cent above my subscription
Yeah, it's obvious that you are right and they only care about new customers. That's why they give me points every month and new rewards in the Paragon Rewards shrub, along with all that free content.
They have released more new powersets in the short time since Freedom launched than they have in any year since at least CoV launch. Even Going Rogue only released 4 new powersets. -
Quote:DA is NOT level restricted. I've taken several non-50's into the new DA.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
5. The new DA is level restricted (like Eden still is) which also adds a level of control as to who can enter and join those teams. By recruiting in the restricted zone only qualified players can enter to be recruited.
They can't get missions in DA but they can get in the zone.
EDIT: I currently have a Level 23 Blaster on my Premium account in DA, so not only is it not level restricted, it isn't restricted from Premiums either. His level and the account status both make him unqualified to be recruited. -
It appears that your Video Driver installation is corrupted judging by the date shown on the driver. If the Audio driver had the same date I'd say that was caused by using a date format other than MM/DD/YYYY on your system. Since the Audio driver date is correct but the Video driver date is funky that usually indicates corrupted drivers.
The best way to avoid that is to use proper uninstall reinstall techniques as follows:
- Download but don't install the video card drivers
- Download and install Driver Sweeper but don't run it
- Uninstall the Catalyst Control Center and Video Drivers from Programs and Features
- Uninstall the video card from Device Manager
- Boot into Safe Mode for Windows and run Driver Sweeper
- Boot into normal Windows and cancel any driver installations.
- Run the installer for the drivers that you downloaded previously
- Run CoH Helper again and paste the results into Notepad and check the Video Driver date to make sure it is correct and not the 01/01/0001 it currently is.
Also, your CoH Helper report is missing all of the ingame settings. Are you downloading the file and then running it as Administrator or are you either running it from the download link or simply downloading it and just double-clicking it to run?
If you are doing the right-click to Run as Administrator on the file, then something on your system is interfering with CoH Helper being able to read from the registry. That could also be causing other problems including the ones you listed.
Lastly, the ALL ACCESS: Gameplay/TechnicaL Issues & Bugs forum section is a better place for this as that is where most of the Tech people hang out or look for this type of issue to be able to help.

Quote:Did you file an in-game /bug report when this happened? Or as soon as possible to not interfere with the success of the iTrial?Originally Posted by Xilibrius
I ran into an annoying but in what i can only assume in the pet AI twice now while running a BAF. After the end of the prisoner phase in the BAF my pets automatically took off towards Siege the moment he spawned and unless put in heel mode they would not return to my side. later on in the same Trial i was on spawn duty well outside of LOS and unless i popped them back into heel mode they'd take off to try and engage Siege even though he was out of sight and around the side of the building. two different occasions for them taking off after the prisoner phase once on them being out of LOS still trying to fight him. Another Mastermind on the same trial had her pets take off after him at the end of the prisoner phase as well.

Quote:If you run all three of the optional missions and the final mission then Max's bar fills and he disappears from your Active Contact list.Originally Posted by Fire_Away
I wonder out loud if good old Max is to be the first "to be continued" type of contact in a future issue (with a subsequent arc award). He remains in the active contact list... even though he d/c'ed his phone. Maybe, it's not over yet.
He only stays in your Active Contact list with an unfilled bar if you skip one or more of the optional missions.
Unfortunately, it looks as if they tied moving him to the Inactive Contacts list to having completed all four of his missions. Even on a character that has complete all four missions and is showing him on the Inactive Contact list the bar is still looking like it's about 1/3 to 2/5 of the way filled. -
One thing that people forget about is that you MUST have the Remember Account Name box on the login screen checked. If it isn't checked, it won't create or use the playerslot.txt file. This may be why you can't find the file.
Otherwise, Feefa J has it pretty much correct.
The playerslot.txt file is located within the games installation directory inside a subfolder based on your Account Name.
It can become corrupted or set to read-only. If that is the case then you can simply delete the file and the game will recreate it and you'll be able to re-order the character list and have it saved. -

Instead of changing shields try zoning to see if that fixes it.
If it doesn't, try using an emote such as /e teabag (I know that emote works with a shield out)
If it doesn't, go to https://support.cityofheroes.com and log in to your support account (create one if you haven't) then use the Ask A Question tab (yeah, you aren't going to ask a question) to report it as a bug. Give as much detail as you can including not only what you listed here but also what zone you were in at the time and any other steps you took to try to get it to show the shield (including my two suggestions above).
I'd test it on my Shield Scrapper except I'm not willing to spend points on the Coyote Travel Power. -
I'm sure that, like the rest of the Paragon Rewards and Tier structure, this was not a snap decision and where to place those rewards was discussed rather extensively.
I believe the Devs have made a pretty fair set of decisions with where things unlock and how much investment into the game each Tier requires.
They are giving enough away for little to no investment by a player. I see no need to lower the bar and give them more rewards for less.
If the players want access to those systems the currently priced entry point is rather modest. -
Glad to hear it worked out to your satisfaction.
-
OK. I got a chance to test this shortly after I got home.
I have a few characters on the server already so didn't need to copy anything over.
I headed to Talos to look at things there.
I22 is NOT on the Test Server.
Currently on the Test Server the Halloween Event is active.
Dark Astoria's gate from Talos is open.
Dark Astoria still has it's "fog".
Mot is still sleeping. -

Hello... Forget the salute. Freedom Corp sign says "Might for Right?". That is 100% Cole slogan.
Check out the text on the Expert badge.Quote:
In 1956, Congress passed the Might for Right act. This law proclaimed super-powered individuals and vigilante heroes a valuable national resource subject to draft without notice into the service of the United States government. For the next decade the CIA, FBI, and Department of Defense routinely pressed heroes into service, both at home and abroad. Most were only too happy to help, but there were undoubtedly many, many abuses of the law. Heroes with unpopular politics found themselves sent on suicide missions into Eastern Europe. Minority heroes suffered particular discrimination during this period, often being forced into secret duty for months or years at a time, with no contact with family and loved ones.

I haven't been to the Test Server recently so I'm not sure what version it is on. I'm not at home so I can't log in to check on it myself.
It's possible that some of the servers involved may be down while they are working on trying to identify or fix a problem.
That "unknown map" error is the same one that we were getting a few days back when the servers all went down IIRC. It could be that they either haven't been informed that those are down or they are down trying to replicate what caused the problems or find a solution.
In the meantime, just copy them to the Beta Server instead and install the Beta client. You'll be able to test some of the new stuff that hasn't been released yet as well. -
Quote:There are the Story Arc contacts in DA that you can repeat through Ouroboros just like any other Story Arc contact in the game. The only time in the history of the game that you couldn't repeat a Story Arc contacts missions (that are a part of the Story Arc or award a badge) was before Ouroboros was put into the game.Originally Posted by Cyphier
I thought they were supposed to be repeatable? Ah well, if it is Ouroboros, then Ouroboros it is...Thanks!
There are also 2 Repeatable Mission contacts in the zone that offer repeatable missions. Repeatable Missions are not Story Arcs and have different Reward structures. Ephram Sha is the contact for Heroes and Maharaj is the contact for Villains.
These work just like the Repeatable Mission contacts that have been put into some of the other zones in the game such as Borea in RWZ, Marcus Valerius in Cimerora, Meg Mason in The Hollows, and the group of Boyd, Huxley, Hammond, Flynn and Volkov in the Shadow Shard. -
