Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe free players can send PMs on the boards.
Free and Premium players cannot send or receive PMs. -

And who is this Savannah who keeps jumping in with answers, just to be corrected or contradicted? <.<
Right now, I'm going by the avatars and a fairly educated guess. -

Quote:Some others have reported successfully applying a GR code to their Premium account and having access to the GR bits when it was Premium.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
There are no VIP's without GR. It's all part of the subscription now. The catch is that players that bought the GR Edition will retain access to Praetoria if they go Prem.
Not sure if that still applies to accounts that buy old copies of GR and try to use the code. I can't test it as I've had GR since it released.
I'm thinking Snow Globe was one of them, but this late at night I won't trust my memory and I'm being too lazy to search. -
First off. Your Video card drivers are rather old. I'd recommend uninstalling the drivers you have, running Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode to remove the leftover pieces of the drivers, then installing the 11.9 drivers in normal Windows mode.
Also, your CoH Helper report has quite a bit of incomplete data. Did you run CoH Helper by right-clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator? If not, please re-run it and follow those instructions then post the results in this thread. Don't start a new thread, it makes it difficult for people to keep up with what is happening when they are trying to help you.
Another thing, is that the complete HiJackThis log? It looks like some of it is missing.
One thing I do notice that is odd in what there is of the HJT log is that it shows the following:
O23 - Service: NVIDIA Display Driver Service (nvsvc) - Unknown owner - C:\Windows\system32\nvvsvc.exe (file missing)
You don't have an nVidia graphics card in your system, it's an ATI card. I'd recommend going into Programs and Features and Uninstalling the nVidia display drivers from there. If you can't find a listing for the nVidia Display drivers there, you may want to disable that entry in the Windows services.msc file. -
Quote:Not quite. A Premium can still access Praetoria by going through the Underground Imperial section by way of the gates for accessing First Ward, then going to out from there to Imperial City. They can get back through Studio 55's portal to Pocket D I didn't test to see if they could get back into the Underground Imperial from Imperial City. I guess that's my next test. They just can't get to Praetoria by using the portal in Pocket D.Originally Posted by Organica
So if I understand this right, a VIP has access to Praetoria but a Premium w/o GR does not?
As Aneko pointed out, GR is part of the base VIP subscription now. So any VIP can create a Praetorian.Quote:
But a VIP w/o GR can't create a Praetorian, correct?
Because otherwise you'd have a problem I think... create a Praetorian, then drop to Premium.
From what I remember of the testing that others did, once they drop to Premium they wouldn't be able to access that Praetorian character if they were still classed as a Praetorian (hadn't leveled to 20 and chosen Hero or Villain when leaving Praetoria) unless they purchase the Create a Praetorian content through the Paragon Market, find purchase and apply a GR retail box code on the Account page (Snow Globe's testing shows this still works to get all GR content opened) or return to VIP status.
So yes, if they drop to Premium status those Praetorian characters that haven't chosen to leave Praetoria would be locked to them with just the basic Premium account. -

Most of what I've seen of his posts of late has been in either the Thank Goodness It's Mission Architect Thursday! threads or in the Creative Caption Craziness and Tell A Story contest threads.
Since Avatea has departed the studio, I suspect we'll see him taking over more duties such as the City of Comics Creators thread, updates to the Weeky Strike Targets threads and more. -

So, the end-of-drive party is on Virtue in two hours, correct?
I shudder even thinking about creating a character on a server with that name.
TJ has had nothing to do with Virtue for a looooooooooooooooong time, well before the game was released.

I believe "Lower Praetoria" is still restricted to those who have access o it's content. Even for simple tours.

In my test for the other thread I took my hero to Talos Island and went through the portal to Underground Imperial next to Mistress Eva. I then went through the door to First Ward and looked at the sky. I then went back to Underground Imperial and then headed up to the exit to Imperial City. Once I got into Imperial City I went to Studio 55 and from there went through the portal to go to Pocket D.
At that point, I stopped my testing.
After reading Soul_Bender's post above, I decided to try going from Pocket D to Studio 55. On clicking the portal I get the following message:
So, it appears that for a Premium account that has not purchased GR prior to Freedom (or found and purchased a GR box set since Freedom was released and applied the code on the Account page) or purchased Create a Praetorian from the Paragon Market cannot access Studio 55 through the portal in Pocket D. Since the purchase of the Going Rogue Alignment System in the Paragon Market has nothing to do with Praetoria, it's seems obvious that this wouldn't drop the dimensional barrier around the portal in Pocket D.Quote:
A dimensional field surrounds this door. You cannot enter.
However, a Premium can go through the Underground Imperial access points in Talos or Cap au Diable, move through the Underground to the exit to Imperial City, go into Studio 55 and then through the portal there back to Pocket D.
Weird. -

Ok, I am at Pocket D and cannot enter the gate to get to Praetoria. Is there a contact I must see first? (I went to the gate behind the ramp gate. I read that's to one to go to.)
Thanks,

There are no newer drivers for that chipset. Intel stopped supporting that chipset with drivers in favor of newer low-end chipsets.
You could try lowering the resolution to 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 but that would be one of the few things you might be able to do to resolve the problems if you are going to continue to try to use that laptop for playing CoH.
That graphics chipset wasn't designed for gaming. It was designed for running basic Windows programs like Word Processors, Spreadsheets, Internet Browsers and the like.
It will do a fair job for the things it was designed to do when it was released in 2009, but playing graphics intensive games was not one of those functions. -
The OCR team is aware of the problem.

Hardest thing about installing Windows 7:
Typing in the full license key.
Everything else is really "Hit next." "Type in your name." "Go get some coffee while we finish this up."
Of course, if you are installing it from a USB flash drive it seems even faster. Most of my installs of late have been from a flash drive.
Well, unless I'm imaging several computers at once while at work, but that's another story. -
And checking the guide for later on tonight, they'll be re-airing "My Name is Bruce" starring Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi.
Must set DVR. -
It has been clearly stated in everything I've seen about Freedom that Incarnate access requires being a VIP.
I'm not sure why you feel cheated. -
My suggestion would be to reopen your ticket with support and politely ask that it be escalated to a Senior GM.
If they still seem to be not helping you resolve the issue, keep asking politely that it be escalated further up the chain.
Whatever you do, remain polite. -
Ah, the one you didn't ask about previously.
It's my own fault for not checking the registry first to see if there was an entry by that name. -
I never see grey numbers except during Hamidon Raids and the various Invasions.
Also, depending on which character I'm on, I don't always see all of my damage number on screen anyway. I'm putting out more damage on some characters than the system can show.
That being said, more options is usually a good thing. -
Quote:I'm rather curious about what new types of lighting PVP got?Originally Posted by Cathulhu
If anything with the illumination of PvP, which was origionally in bases, they are even less of a drain on the system.
Bases are a drain on the system in that they are a fully instanced map with multiple types of items being allowed to be placed in the base as well as being moved around.
On top of that, some of those items that can be placed in bases also have storage of various items as well.
All of this is using server resources both in database space for the base, the items in it, their locations and any items that may be stored in those items. On top of that it is using server resources to create an instanced map each time the base is accessed.
The Devs told us at the Player Summit that the base system itself is very fragile. The load it places on the server isn't as minimal as many would like to think.
