Quote:Shut it offOriginally Posted by kirbyrockz
Hello,
Was there a surge in randomly -Repping people any time in the last few years? I just saw that I've got -21 rep. >__> Just curious. If this is the wrong forum, please let me know -- I didn't see a "forum help" forum.
It means absolutly nothing, people will - rep u for personal reasons if u disagree with them and the some people here have multiple accounts/login names and will haunt you.
lol sorry but it is what it is
Just shut it off and forget about it.
If you care about forum rep that much then we need to go out n have few beers n get laid LOL
Joking hehehe -
Quote:Yea ive seen that too I've been trying to speed things up a bit to avoid this. I even tried to ask teams not to load in untill everyones present, one of the things i liked about the new diff system was we could load in a mish and wait not worry'n bout whos what lvl ..Originally Posted by Kheldarn
I've found that the longer it takes to get to a spawn, the more spread out they become. While it's an annoyance with a Kill All, it's a major PITA with a Defeat X And Minions, when the, "And Minions" have wandered so far away, you have no idea where they are, or why the mission won't complete.
Most of what i liked about the new diff system now seems mute
TY for the constructive feedback its a pleasure to not have to debate whether this is a bug or even exist's

Typically it either works or it doesn't
However some cards and drivers can be a problem depending on software, games, age ...
Ive noticed with Ultra mode my cooling system kicks in and cranks up alot more than previosly i'm using a liquid cooling system and normally its fairly quiet ..
That being said and from what ive noticed in the past with upper end video cards.. I'm thinking you may be having an overheat issue with the video card. The cpu isnt getting hot enough to shut u down and give you the beep codes/warnings ..
However if your video card heats up enough it can cause the problems your experiencing.
Hmm this is backyard mickey mouse stuff but it might work for you to test this theory, ive done it myself..
Take side cover off pc and get urself a fan you would use in summer months and aim it inside pc .. and see if you still have the problem. thats how i found out my card was overheating a few years ago and then decided on more fans or new case n cooling method's....
Food for thought, good luck -
Quote:True they aren't very useful doing arc's just a time sync ..Originally Posted by Rodion
I've noticed the same thing, but it just means you have to change your tactics. Instead of charging into a group and fighting it in place, you need to draw some of them away so that you don't attract attention of the intermixing spawn. You can do that a couple of different ways: with a ranged attack, or by taunting, or by running up and punching one and running back.
This actually cuts both ways. I've been playing a level 30 stalker solo at +0/x3, and it can get a little hairy trying to fight that many at once. But since the spawns tend to spread out more, they're often so diffuse that attacking one doesn't aggro the whole spawn. Picking off the outlier is often completely safe.
And if I'm running a big mission with my brutes or tankers at x8, I don't really care if I aggro two or three spawns. I usually hit the aggro cap long before the fight gets dangerous.
As for the time-consuming defeat all maps, I think the devs should take the advice they give in the AE tutorial and eliminate most of the defeat-all missions in the game. Defeat-alls are not a good substitute for engaging content -- if players want to defeat all the spawns there's nothing stopping them: it shouldn't be a required mission objective.
I did an AE mish yesterday and waiting for some people to load in .. duing that time half the map spread out into the entire city lol It was a standard rectangular city map. Mobs literally spread out mingled/merged into each other throughout half the map. It was like NY City at Noon time lol.
Tank broke his grapes and couldnt keep agro half team quit and i decided to solo an arc i knew was fairly simple.
AE is also affected by this and some maps alot worse than others even try'n to pick them off 1 by 1 wouldnt have worked on this AE/Map and why bother dropping diff to -1 when you trying to grind up a lvl lol
Anyways i really hope they fix and adjust this soon -

Red Lieutenants means they were +2 to you (minions orange, lieuts red). Therefore, you certainly weren't on +0, or your mission bugged.
Sometimes it is lower level mobs and soemtimes higher level mobs. Normally its only for that 1 mish then the next in the arc defaults back to your settings.
To OP i think its more than COT Boh's ive notice some odd behaviors of late and at times minions even kicking *** while a boss seems like wimp with aot of HP lol.
Also some weird umm not lag more like lightning fast mobs zipping back and forth with alot lately lol. -

no i got this pc from Best Buy lol no i have not downloaded nothing
Go here

Try downloading the newest drivers for your card normally its a good place to start. -

Was this and upgrade from Vista to Win 7 ?
Did you download newest drivers after the upgrade? -
Ive seen that before but usually on older games (pre-xp) installed on newer systems running vista or win 7..
Unfortunatly could be anything .. my guess is start with vid drivers. You give me the impression you have upgraded to win7, check for graphic driver updates dont use the ones from win update ..
If that doesnt work you can try right clicking the shortcut and use some options there .. like run in XX Mode ..
The latter doesnt normally help much but its worth a try untill your able to get more info to us . .
Edited .. ah i see u put control panel from catalyst .. u got ati card and theyre drivers hmmm -
Quote:Then why bother giving an opinion if you dont care LOLOriginally Posted by PerfectStorm
No disrespect, but - Unless you can produce a developer of the game that acknowledges that they deliberately introduced this directly in at the launch of I17, I really don't see how someone in game can "confirm" it.
I'm not saying it DIDN'T get introduced in I17, and, quite frankly, I really don't care. I'm really just saying that I don't think it is a bug. And I like it.
LOL.
Storm
See this sint about a bug or anything is it
People on the forums love to hear the sound of theyre own keys typing away, someone once said in another game "playing the forums is better than playing the game" lol true dat for many..
Honestly why even come in and give an opinion if u dont know and dont care
Truthfully .. i dont care about debating this or arguing it .. i only reply to keep this bumped to page 1 LOL
So TY im sure by now a red name has seen this lol -
Quote:OK you winOriginally Posted by PerfectStorm
This IS a discussion thread. It's a forum. This particular forum is to DISCUSS technical issues and bugs. If you want to REPORT a bug, there is a mechanism in the game to do that. If you don't want people to disagree with you... I'm afraid the only solution for that is to not post anything on the internetz...
You have no idea if it was something added to the game intentionally or not - just because you didn't see it listed in the patch notes doesn't mean it wasn't added on purpose. There are MANY little additions that don't make it to patch notes - sometimes there are oversights.
You may have only noticed it in I17, but others disagree. You may think it's a bug, but others think it is a feature. This is the place to talk about what you perceive as a bug - but you really can't expect that people aren't going to discuss it if they disagree with you.
I think it's a FEATURE ... while you believe that it's silly to talk of realism when we can fly and have super powers - I believe that there are elements of realism necessary even in "fantasy" games. In WoW, mobs run off and get two or three friends - in Champions Online, they do the same. Sometimes you wipe because you attacked a solitary target that, at 1/3 health, runs away and gets his buddies and you wind up fighting 4 or 5 other mobs that come running in at full health. That is realistic - and a huge pain in the butt, but that's the way those games are set up. In my opinion making an instanced map a little more challenging by not always putting mobs in the exact same places and adding some "wandering" keeps us from becoming complacent and makes us utilize our skills and experience and maybe even stretches our usage of all our characters' powers.
You say tomato ... I say ... yummy!
Storm
On the forum (discussion) thing .. However this is an i17 issue i know this for a fact .. if you want to know how i know this pm me and we can meet on test and ill introduce you to someone who has confirmed it.

Quote:LOL wt heck .....Originally Posted by Tyranny_NA
At this point in time it wouldn't be that bad of an idea to raise the aggro cap for tanks and brutes. Often I've wanted to be able to grab the attention of a second or third mob just because teammates may not be paying attention or something just happened where we got overwhelmed. You're not always going to have more then one tank or brute on a team to handle it so said primary tanks or brutes should be able to aggro as much as it can handle...to some degree.
Do I think they should be able to herd entire maps like in the golden age of tankers? No. But the limit REALLY needs to be turned up a notch.
As far as mobs scattering...that isn't something that just started because of I17. It's been around for several issues now and there were threads where people complained about it back then too. Honestly I'm one of those who enjoys the realism. It's generally initiated by a lot of AoE going off. Mobs try to scatter so they don't get all wiped out in a single wave of AoE. Not only that, but sometimes when they mingle with the other mobs, it can sometimes draw more aggro.
Kinda like "Hey, we're being attacked over here! Need some help!".
Ask yourself. If a group of super powered beings came up and started blasting away at you and your friends with a single attack and you just happened to be one of the ones who didn't get one shotted, would you just stand there and take whatever they threw at you next? or would you run your *** off to either A: Get away or B: Call for Back Up.
You can argue that it's a game and it ruins your fun all you want. If the couple seconds it takes you to chase a guy down and finish him off in one of the fastest paced MMOs takes up too much of your time then....*shrug* Guess you're playing the wrong game =P
Half the time the guys are dumb enough to run back to get slaughtered anyways.
No this is something that just started with i17 nuff said .. its true .. stop ...
We weren't asking to raise the caps we just started chatting ........
Listen this isnt a discussion thread over what you want or what your opinions are ...
This is the place to list bugs isnt it??????????????
and this is something not added to the game intentionally .. its a bug i saw mobs this weekend travel half the map and no exaggerating
Thank You
for your input even though i wasnt asking for a discussion and listing a bug
I need an aspirin LOL -
Quote:I wish that were true but they would have to raise the agro cap back up on tanks to accomodate several groups lol the "wandering" is really a kind word to say they are everywhere and groups intermixing.Originally Posted by Kheldarn
Old Skool TankHerding is coming back? >.>
Raising the tanks agro cap to its prior glory would be nice though heheehe
Id break my old icetank out for some regular use lol -
Well i choose not to be happy ..
i'm glad you like it, but i personally dont, realistic ... we fly and super jump LOL
This is a bug since it wasnt like this before and not listed as change, therefore im listing it and asking for a fix.

Quote:I have noticed it with BM Warriors, Rikti, Crey .. pretty much any mob .. I think its more of what type map its on, city maps that have large open areas.Originally Posted by Scythus
Curious, were you fighting Lost by any chance? The Lost already have had a case of wanderlust and it has gotten a little worse.
Now that I think about it, Crey and Rikti have also had that same problem.
I really wish they take a look at this yesterday on a defeat all .. finally found two wander's one was off in a corner that mobs never went near before.
Honest it can be frustrating i only get a hour or two a night to play and i dont want to wast 30 minutes searching for something that a month ago would not have been a problem. -

I use Eset Smart Security (the more 'complete' version of NOD32). Doesn't seem to slow my system down, not bloated, daily updates, but not free either.
Found an interesting article about differences on suites, free programs, simple antivirus, etc. and its from April 21st, more than 30 reviews.
Some systems have a problem with Nod, although it is a very good antivirus and uses nill for resources, i have noticed on some systems.
It disconnects you for a fraction of a second. The web page pause for some people might not even be noticed but for others i can stop downloads or shut down air cards and they have to reconnect.
I never fully tracked it down to what was causing it. Since the 2 pc's this was affecting were my brothers it was just as simple to switch them over to symantic.
To OP, Norton 2009-2010 is a very good antivirus, not sure where you live but BJ's wholesale has 3 license box for a fair price. 2010 is a very low resource user and will pretty much shut off when it detects the game starting up, so it wont be a problem at all for CoH
Do not use an Norton product from 2006-2008 they were end pigs and no io on the planet could help with the stamina problem lol and MCafee is horrible a definate nono -
I have noticed that since i17 mobs now have wander lust and will travel a map quite far, this can be pretty annoying i had 3 different mobs scatter and wander into eachother the other day.
Needless to say myself and 2 others got spanked because our setting were set to take advantage of our skills and abilities. 1 giant mob of 3 groups was a little beyond our expectations after resetting .. we saw it again and again ..
On defeat all maps this is really a time sync now. Saturday i was so frustrated i logged out the contact i was running had many such maps. I dont feel i should have lower diff to -1, 1 to finish a contact or use 3 times more the play time that i used pre-i17.
Hope this is fixed soon

Since this new system went into affect i find myself selling more things at the store and hording or making other things n saving them in bins.
I know i cant do this forver but i simply do not like and want to avoid this new system as much as possible, i used to seel all my salvage no matter the type for $7.00 i figured i was helping the economy by keeping things low and items flowing.
Now ill sell at a store before i get eye_ache from this mess. Im all for improvements but this sytem was on test im assmuing, didnt anyone say or try to talk them out of going live with it.
Not 1 SG memeber ive spoke to on 3 servers likes it. Sad because i know they wont admit it a mistake and roll it back

I have a willpower tank and personally i have two different builds one for pvp one for pve.
On the pve build i took fighting pool, it made a very big difference, willpower is a great all around power set but on some missions, for example ITF, before i took the fighting pool they owned me lol, i respec'd and took fighting and built up some IO sets for defense.
It Helped a great deal, i am now almost godlike on ITF, so get fighting pool for total tanking play, you can also choose 1 or 2 epics if needed, skip the rez u wont need it.
Oh btw I also noticed on RTtC i slotted 3 health 3 acc debuff you can use IO sets here to mix n match if you want, i noticed in pve the debuffs help alot. Have a freind who 6 slotted with debuffs and he says its better but im not quite won over on that yet.
PVP well none of this applies and you can get more n better info when/if you need it from pvp threads.
Hope this helps, for build 1 i vote fighting pool
Good Luck -
To the OP, as many have said ss and sj are a great combo to have.
I choose travel powers depending on my toons and build, all pretty much have ss for escapes. lol
I like fly and ss for example on some of my buffers/healers and even blasters, many players only choose ss for a travel power (sone use jetpacks) but when using just ss i am sometimes able to fly above n poke shots at them will little to no return fire.
But ss on even a flyer is pretty much needed for those excapes when they down you.
Done the TP/hover thng on a healer .. it can work but honestly .. id rather just ss away.
Try whatever you find might be workable you can always do a respec if you dont like it

It is unfair to MMs who can't move at the speed cap, unless they want to get out of BG. Stupid melee toons KEEP RUNNING AWAY AT ONE HP and I can't catch up to them or I'll get one shotted. Increase travel suppression higher so the wussies die.
-
I think the problem is the damage from falling is whats pissing you off the most, if i read your comments correctly.
The fix to keep everyone happy might just be negate falling damage from pvp zones
btw i also agree on taking ss if u take fly lol it comes in handy

This is an alternate reality none of the "old" rules apply i dont see this as an issue at all even with any story lines that deal with Pretoria..
Alternate realities means anything can change and be different from the one your used to.
If my Brute can be good why cant his Mu companion ...
If my Tanks Bad well not muching changing there except my attitude lol
A story line explaining anything can happen in this reality is all that they need. -
