Tuarus

Since I followed my above advice, I am no longer experiencing driver not responding errors. No crashes since then

I am Happy. Hope it works for you all out there

OK so seeing a contact that refers to him on heroes is probably a bug then

I was looking through Ouroboros for an Arc to do and I noticed at the end of the 46-50 mission list is a arc called Time to Earn Some Dough. When I clicked on it it says I must work for Alan Desslock. The contact also looks very arachnos.

Any ideas?

PvP is the cause of all nerfs

Why OH Why did they introduce it. Only keeps about 12 people happy :P

Oh a serious one......Why have they broken ET. My stalker is [censored] now using that out of hide

Jumoping in for the increaded post count

Was talking to friends last night. Is this not a known issue with a aura or cape combo or something? Brain hurts and cant find something on search but probably is listed under "Oh Noes Help Me" or something similar

OK I didnt have any problems at all last night so things are looking up (Usually happens 2-3 times a night).

I firstly uninstalled all nVidia drivers.

Then booted my machine in safe mode (press f8 whilst posting).

I then ran Driver Cleaner Pro (As FFM said earlier in the thread 1.5 can still be downloaded for free with a little seach using google)

Then whilst in safe mode I installed the latest Omega Drivers (I downloaded them previously from here. At this point I should really point out that these drivers are unsupported by nVidia and if you have any worries about using them you probbably shouldn't) The reason I installed them whilst in safe mode is that Vista installs some stuff for the 8800 when it starts up and wanted to make sure I was using the omega drivers for all of the software.

Restarted my machine, and am running the game on max settings with 60fps and so far no crashes.

If the crash number changes I will post in here.

Thanks

I am still experiencing the display not responding problem, and i have tried the latest nVidia driver.

I have now uninstalled everything and have re-installed using the omega drivers. I will let everyone know how that works out.

System is

AMD Quad 9750 @ 2.4 GHz (125W)
ASUS M3A Mobo
4GB RAM
1GB ASUS 8800GT
Vista Ultimate 64 Edition SP1 and fully patched to 11/07/08

Meh! PvP ruins this game

Where has this been stated? First I have heard of it.

Love the powers and are very useful to have on defenders wether it be to hit that little bit hader whilst soloing or for healing the tank in one hit with AB

I am also having similar problems, although the occasional error message I am getting is that the graphics driver has stopped responding, but the symptoms are the same.

My setup is

AMD Phenom 9750 (125W edition dont ask what a pain that became) Quad 2.4GHz
ASUS M3A Motherboard
4GB DDR2800 RAM
1GB 8800GT
Windows Vista 64 Ultimate.

Any help would be appreciated. The OS is fully updated as is all the drivers ect.

Edit: So that you know the game runs smooth (lowest I have seen the FPS drop is in a big 8 man team and then it only drops to about 43 from 60).

I can play crysis on high settings with no problems and no crashing. Same goes for Call of Duty 4.

It only appears to crash whilst playing CoH.

Do I?

From my experience of your posts you seem to be vocal about anyone defending farming and just as uptight as you make me out to be :P

Not all tankers want to herd but they are stuck with gauntlet as there inherent.

Thank you for making your position clear. I think the reason that you may have felt attacked may be down to some of your other posts in other threads, wether they have been taken the "wrong way" by some of the people you feel are attacking you. I think the reason that maybe some people have started to get defensive is that the forum has been populated recently with threads of stop this and stop that. Threads then appear asking for changes to be made that would directly affect how those people play.

To answer the question, if containment was going to be replaced, i would replace it with a modifier that decreased damage for team size, but increased mags of holds. This would work by allowing the soloer to do more damage, but then as people joined the team I would decrease in dishing out damage but be able to hold the bigger mobs for longer etc. Dont know how hard to implement but just a suggestion that would keep most happy.

That the sort of thing you after?

It applies for anyone who chooses to build a controller based around controls though: if you don't take direct damage powers you geing minimal benefit from containment.

[/ QUOTE ]

The important part has been highlighted. I have found in my experience controllers that build around controls are generally suited to teams where being able to do damage isnt required. Controllers that pick damage tend to be soloers or team very little where the damage boost is very welcome.

It is a choice, that the inherent helps people that choose to make a soloer toon a little bit easier to manage.

So you would like to see a fire controllers primary buffed?

Do I think controllers should be nerfed: NO I DON'T.

Do I think containment should be changed? Not nessasaraly.

[/ QUOTE ]

To the first point it appears you do want certain Controller aspects nerfed, so in effect you think controllers should be nerfed (taking from comments in the other thread)

If you dont think containment should be changed why have you made points throughout this thread asking for suggestions to it as you dont think it does the job properly. Sounds like you want a change?

[ QUOTE ]
Another critisism of containment, it benefiots some primary/secondary combinations far more than others.


[/ QUOTE ]

But it benifits all controllers the same. It isn't containements fault that some sets do more damage than others is it? And some sets doing more damage than other sets is par across all ATs isnt it? (Broadsword as opposed to Claws, and a Fire tank does more damage than an ice tank (primary), but a pure fire/fire tank will out damage any other type of tank)

I am trying to work out what your problem is, but you seem unable to prove a point with out saying words you need to say, as you know it will degenerate into a you cant play like this war.

Edit: Corrected mistake in the thread title that has been bugging me for days but just kept forgetting to change it

I thought they did something with threat levels that made it possible to pull aggro of a tank that had been taunting mobs by doing lots of damage or did I understand that wrong.

If it is true that a controller can out damage a blaster, then surly on the new changes to taunt he wont be very safe at all and will draw aggro regardless of what else is about.

Where the hell is this complete safety part come from. My farmer dies regually but it doesnt bother me either. The safety of a farming toon comes from the fact that the toon is 50 and debt is irelavant.

LMAO

RUBBISH.

I seem to be getting the impression from your previous post's on this post and on the Fire/Kin post that you have a problem with controllers and there ability to solo or farm, and now this post about changing Containment! To stop this or prevent the ability altogether..

I notice from your signature you have a Lvl50 troller, so you have experience of playing a controller at all lvls, what I don't understand is this;

Because you don't like something or think it is wrong, you want to have it changed! Ok everyone is entitled to there opinions...But this is were I get upset, your calling for a change that will spoil things for people who have no problems with the present state of the troller or how they play the game..Solo/Team

So please if you don't like it as is don't play it and leave the rest of us alone to enjoy something WE also pay for each month.

Well said!!!! Goes and gets a bit of hose pipe so I can .................

Why use something in your argument that you know to be wrong. Did you think you would get away with it.

And it was decided to make it easier for all toons to solo regardless of what AT they were, and IMO the only useless inherents in the game are defenders and Epics as you need to be on a team to utilise the effects. An inherent should benifit you solo and in a team.
