  1. It should still be there according to ParagonWiki.

    Since it is a villain only title, are you trying to set it on a non-Villain character? There are different titles for Hero, Villain, GR Resistance and GR Loyalist characters.
  2. You may want to post this down in the Multi-Media Fan Creations forum section.

    That's where many of the artistic types tend to hang out the most.
  3. It should extend your time. I haven't activated any serial codes since Freedom launched but they've always extended the time in the past.

    (I think I've activated all I can anyway on my main account)
  4. Hero Beam/Devices Blaster created when Freedom released for VIPs. First costume slot and second costume slot.

It only crashes when playing CoH. I played WoW for like, 6 hours straight yesterday on max graphics and had zero issues. I can play CoH for 10 minutes on "recommended" graphics and the card will crash.
    I'll re-emphasize something I stated earlier in the thread.

  6. I use white as the secondary color in my Beam Rifle and I've not had trouble with it.

    Proof of perqs?

    Same place you can find just about any information you want. ParagonWiki.

  9. I run the game full-screen and use the Snipping Tool.

    No problems at all with it.

    I really don't like that setting since I don't always want to launch 2 instances of the game. I prefer to set it to close the launcher. It doesn't take long at all to re-open the launcher to start a second instance when that's what I'm wanting to do at that time.
  11. Open the NCLauncher but don't start the game.

    Click File, Click Settings, click the Advanced tab. Put a checkmark in the box labeled Allow multiple instances of a game to be launched and click OK. Launch the game. Launch the second instance of the game.

    You may want to put some strings in the Properties for the game in the Extra Settings field such as -maxinactivefps 5

    There are several good suggestions in one of Hyperstrike's Guide threads in the Gameplay/Technical Issues & Bugs forum section.

    If you look at the screenshot again, you will see there are tabs for Body and Custom that we can't see details of.

    I'm not talking about the categories, I'm talking about the tabs at the top of the screen where other changes could be made.

    I certainly don't feel like a VIP these days so I'd rather remain as a Legend thanks.
    I'm pretty much in the same boat. I didn't use the Gold name before because it would have meant changing my forum title and I really didn't like the thought if being simply "VIP".

    I'm not really sure what mine is currently, but I'd rather have it than "VIP".

    EDIT: Ah, Renowned. I'll stick with that thank you very much.

    It doesn't matter for me what browser I'm using or what browser version. I run Firefox 3.6.23, 3.6.24, 7.0, 8.0, IE 7, 8 and 9 across a mix of XP and Windows 7 computers.

    I always check the Remember Me box and it never does. Luckily, I have an addon that fills in form data for me so it's a quick click. On my laptop I don't even have to click anything, I just use the fingerprint scanner to log in.
  15. They issued the tokens because they moved the head pieces around, which is a forced change.

    There could be fees on the tabs we can't see.

    Actually, it does.

    Let's take a look at your question.

    Now I've got Windows 7, I seem unable to do that - screenshots I take are completely black. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and does anyone have a solution?
    The answer is right there in the link Zombie Man gave.

    Vista Clipboard Alternative: Snipping Tool

    Some Vista users have reported that they cannot get their Clipboard to work correctly from a City of Heroes screen. They often wind up with a blank screen that gets pasted into the destination program. The solution is a program that comes standard with Vista called Snipping Tool which can be found under the Accessories sub-menu of the Start button's list of Programs.
    The Snipping Tool actually gives better control of screenshots because it has features such as highlighting just one area of the screen to take a snapshot of.


    Sure, it says Vista, but it applies to 7 as well. And it answers your question exactly.

    Perhaps ZM or one of the other nice folks that puts in the effort to edit the wiki will be nice enough to edit this entry to change it from saying "Vista" to "Vista or 7".
  17. That's why they issued costume change tokens.

    Zworiginalpancakehouse's pliers aren't long enough to reach to Seattle and have the accuracy to get the right persons fingernails.

    That's been consistent from what I've seen of late. I only have to log in at home or work after about 8 hours of being inactive.

    Now, if I close the browser and open it back up, I'm logged out and Remember Me doesn't Remember Me. Luckily, I have some addons that remember form data. It's rather quick to get logged in.

  21. Turn off the firewall temporarily and see if you can connect. If you can, then you don't have all of the right files allowed in the firewall. If you can't, it's something else blocking it.

    If it's the firewall, make sure that NCLauncher.exe is allowed as well as NCAccess. You may also want to allow CityofHeroes.exe

    If it's something else, follow the instructions in Hyperstrike's stickied [Guide] Asking for technical help on the forums thread and post the output of CoH Helper and HiJackThis here.

    Cant Log In

    Someone had this problem a while back and I think the problem was with corrupted character information.

    Exit out of the game completely. Navigate to the installation directory for the game. Open the folder with your username. Delete the playerslots.txt file that is in this folder.

    Relaunch the game. It should now let you get the character list. Your characters will be in the default slots and you can move them around if you want to. The playerslots.txt file will be recreated when you do this.

    Ah. Missed that Announcement post rushing around trying to get things wrapped up at work for me to miss that Friday and then packing for the Pummit at home.

    In any event, the forums have been working right for me since around that time.

    /shrug
  24. It will be a bit before I can look at more posts here. I've gotten a few work orders so have to actually go back and do some work.

    UGH.
