    Not at all. Did both at least 5x each. Failed them all. I'm over them. Shiney's aren't shiney anymore.

    That's just . . . strange.
    I agree with this. If I'm running a toon on a specific TF / Mission / Arc / what-have-you and I'm not enjoying myself (it IS supposed to be a game afterall) I will avoid that TF / Mission (you get the idea) in the future.

    At ALL levels ? This is a serious question cause I haven't seen any drop yet on anything but 50+. Just checking...
  5. Looks more like wonder girl. Maybe she looks mad cause she can't fill Linda's ..... shoes.
  6. I just always pick magic cause it's easier to remember the DO's and SO's at low levels ...

    What setup are you using, damienray? Windows 7? 32-bit? Steam or regular install?
    Windows 7 64bit 1920x1200 screen res.

    I've also forwarded this concern along to the development team for consideration as a "Quality of Life" improvement.

    Thanks!

    Now that would be a very VERY nice Qol ! Kudos to Ruff !

    You can try adding yourself to the Cursors permissions folder.

    - Go to the GUI folder you created (ie: C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\texture_library\GUI\)................. .g
    Ruff...
    Man I thought ya had something there. Tried all that on the Cursors folder and just for sh**s and giggles tried it on the whole COx folder to make sure I had full permissions for the whole game. Nada... same error, BUT the game starts now - but all the cursors are just black boxes.. no image. How's that for weird ?
  10. Still getting the following : Bad rawInfo size of 128 bytes for cursor texture or icon 'cursor_select' of 16x16 size.

    Used WinRAR to extract. Any ideas ?
  11. I have to admit, me & Mamma are finding this whole "shard grind" annoying. We ran 18 missions/tips as a pair the other night, while actively chatting in channels for TF's, etc. At the end of our night - no TF and NOT ONE SHARD at all. set to x2+2. The "shard grind" is killing the fun for us. Ragequit ? Nah, we still love the pre-shard content. Just a shame the people we know are over all the old stuff.

    Same - 6k each.

    All my cursors are a black square when I get this.
    Same here. Tried unzipping to docs - they copy & paste. Black square in place of all cursors. Win 7 64. Any ideas ? Screen res 1920X1200.
  14. An option to make the mouse pointer bigger (like you can in the OS mouse options) would be great !
  15. /signed... a million times. please, please, please.

    Backup Radio

    Star, I've crafted a few of these and they always say they are good for 5 charges. Is there a way to update the Wik page ? Right now it says 10 charges.
  17. To the OP.. I have a bubbler who does not have the little bubbles. Been teaming with some awesome teams for 72 months with no problem. Why didn't I take them ? I don't like them. Not one person has ever complained. Shrug.
  18. Subjective Feedback : Beast Run - too bad it can't be left on and/or slotted to offset the end drain. Going into battle with it on is very cool looking. To go from a Beastly crouch/run to fully standing up to fight and travel from spawn to spawn seems out of character.
  19. Slightly off subject, but thank you to the several that mentioned it ... GW DOES have a melee heal. But alas, I was called the "whack job" last nite for mentioning it. We still had a very long (2:55) run, but we succeeded.
  20. *and a grant of up to a third, half, or two-thirds of their entire level of XP (based upon the relative length of the content). *

    So... if you are already a 50 do you get INF instead ?
    (Sorry if someone already answered...thx).
  21. If it helps any, I've already asked several times - the answer is always "no". They will NOT delete trial accounts. If you find a way to convince them otherwise, please share the knowledge.
  22. Nooooo ! So sorry to see you go ! Thanks for all you've done for the community and the game as a whole. You will be missed. Wish I had the chance to make it to at least one gathering to say I at least met ya one time. Take care, and best of luck to you !
  23. Isn't there supposed to be earmuffs and two other awards first time logging in ? Or is that only for new toons. Nothing dropping on first log in here...
  24. OH MY GOD ! I actually got one ? No way ! Wooooo !
  25. Thank you for the update. I echo the comments that "bad" news is much better than no news at all.
