Oops forgot one. Another way to die...Stupidly.

EGGING ON THE NOOB!!!

This is a personal favorite of mine. Unlike Blueeyed, Do test your cool new power inside a mission with a full team!

On more than one occasion my team has been told by a Corruptor that just got his/her new Nova power and is eager to try it, gimme some reds and let me kill the next group. I have been known to encourage this behavior by saying "I think you can take them." and giving said corruptor a Keen Inisght and 3 enrages and tell them to take out the next group of +4 bad guys. If they fall for it, watch the hillarity insue. Best to follow the action with a "Wow, they sure took you down fast." When he/she gets back from the hospital, we go in as a team and wipe out the group. This is usually the last time that they run in and aggro the whole mob alone and have learned a valuable lesson. Not to mention giving the rest of the group a great and well deserved laugh.

Good ideas. Too bad most people who read this are pretty game savy.

Some of my favorites...

RUN!!!!

Tank/Brute dies and no one runs. This should be an immediate clue that there is waaaay too much aggro. No need to say run here, you would think. But that Blaster/Corruptor thinks he can handle the aggro that the Tank/Brute couldn't..DUMB with a capitol DUH.

MISSION COMPLETED! DEATH

People who die in mishes that are already completed. This happens all the time for some odd reason. There is absolutely no reason you should die in a mish you can click out of anytime you want. Don't compalin about debt for this one....it's your own fault.

HELPING OTHERS WHO DO STUPID THINGS

Don't die becuase of someone elses aggro. I used to do this myself and learned my lesson long ago. Someone aggros a couple of mobs that are way too much for the group, so instead of running or hiding, you decide to help them and die a quick painful death. I know some of you think it is horrible to leave that team member to die. My contention is they shouldn't have aggroed in the first place and one death is better than the whole team.

STALKERS WATCH YOUR BACKS
Stalkers (CoV) watch your aggro. Just because that group behind you doesn't attack you when you are hidden, doesn't mean they won't see you when you assassin strike that last guy in the back of the group. If you grab that big mob by accident? See #3 above.

Excellent job! Great string!

Here are a few other ideas that I thought I should share from my personal experiences over the past day. These can be found in the many problem strings that have enveloped this forum over the past 24 hours. Neither of the solutions below are ones that I personally developed, but rather are solutions offered by other posters (you know who you are, Thank You!) that worked for me.

Problem:
Screen is split and bottom portion is not moving.
Solution:
In Game Menu, go to Options, Graphics menu and change the FSAA configuration from Off to X2 or X4. This should resolve your issue.

Problem:
Game will not load at all. Stuck in loading banner or crashes before it gets to loading page.
Solution:
Open the City of Heroes file folder (C:/Program Files/City of Heroes) and rename the data folder to "Old_Data" with no quotes. Then rerun the updater.

These sloutions worked for me. They may work for you. GL
