I reactivated my account to check out the PvP changes.

This new mez system is so much better. I love it. Makes fights a lot less binary. Really smart change. Good job Devs.

Ditto on travel suppression. There might be a few things that need further tweaking - I wasn't happy about having to respec my main toon out of Teleport. - but generally this makes zone PvP a lot more fun. Pre-I13, it was a game of tag. Now it's a fight. I'm seeing spontaneous group vs group clusters forming, instead of just a swarm of individuals bouncing around all over the place, running as soon as they get scared they may die.

I understand players who built to abuse the too-fast toggle-dropping insta-kill old mechanics are frustrated right now, but ultimately I believe PvP will be much better off for these changes.

However, WTF is with the DR numbers? Not a horrible idea, but so extremely implemented I can't believe it got out of beta this way. Many powers are now nearly useless. And in a RPG smart builds should still be superior. Dial DR down and you've got a good game here.

I haven't PVPed very much at all, but what little I tried out, I liked. I think this guy hit most of it on the head. But I think the travel suppression is a problem. But what would solve the problem is to only put the suppression on someone making an attack, not someone getting attacked. If you want to make someone stop moving, mez them. I don't want to be running around and get shot by some random jerk and suddenly stop moving so I keep getting shot when I don't want to fight that person. That's how I see it.
And this guy was right, it seems like diminishing returns is a good idea but it seriously needs to be toned down.

sup guys...im new to these forums and coh...and i just finished downloading the mac beta...

couple things are wrong that i noticed so far....#1....anything that i need to click on...whether it be icons, tabs, or other characters in game or even the log in screen....i must move over to the right of my target to click on it....

#2...anytime i need to click and drag something....whther it be moving an icon over or adjusting my zoom...my mouse (touchpad) shoots over to the top lefthand corner...

this is the only game that does this to me...

anything i can do to fix these problems myself? or no?

Problem #1: You are not the first person with this problem. Try setting your resolution to actually fit your screen. For more detail, go back a few pages and look for my giant post because I'm lazy If that doesn't help, then I don't know.
Problem #2: I don't know about this. But I have an external mouse I connected to my Macbook and I've never had a problem with that, so my only suggestion is to get a mouse, any old mouse, haha.

does everyone with the bug have an unsupported video card like yours? Not surprising there is issues with the GMA 950s...

Well, my graphics aren't great, but the old desktop I used to play on a year ago was no better, so I don't notice much of a change. And I don't complain about the visuals I do get. But I've had no real bugs other than the resolution problem at the beginning, which is no longer existent. But it is interesting that I have had no other problems because my brother has crashed two or three times on his brand new Macbook with a supported video card. So... figure that out, haha.

I looooove this game so far. But I've noticed that I need to move my mouse about an inch to the right of anything in order to click on it, which gets frustrating in fights. Any suggestions?

You're the 2nd person to post about this. What Mac, OS, RAM, and video are you using?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, he's more like the 4th, heh. I posted my solution to the problem over in the Mac Bugs thread.

I'm having issues with the cursor in game. When I roll over anything, the highlighted item is about 3-4" to the left of where the cursor is on the screen. I can not click the ok on the message window upon log in, and I can not click on the menu as the cursor arrow is off the screen.

I had this problem too. I think the problem was that it was forcing the screen into 1024x768 resolution. What I had to do was get my resolution set to my 1280x800 screen. Hit '\' to open the menu and 'o' to get to the options. Set the resolution to your computer's and then quit and restart the program. You're mouse should be in the right spot.

As for the resolution changing problems, I can't add much more to what has already been said than to just change it in the options, hit apply immediately without changing anything, only hit it once, and then quit and restart the program immediately.

And though I don't have a bug to report, here's my specs where I ran into the resolution problem:

I downloaded the game client for the open mac beta and I reactivated my old account so that I could play again finally but every time I try to log on it says that my playtime for this account has expired. Am I missing something extra I must do to get my account to play the mac client?

My brother and I did the same thing and had the same problem last night. But I got up this morning and was able to get on fine. You just need to give them time to get you reactivated, or that's my analysis of what happened.
