Hi,

Just been searching to forums for a solution to my m8's issue that has meant leaving CoX until a fix

he can play CoX for no more than 1/2 hour then bam! CoX loses map server connection, crahses and the internet connections requires a full reset and sometimes that doesn't work

This only started happenign around the time of the mutant pack

General info is as follows:
UK/Euro Based CoX
Win XP SP3 fully updated.
Nvidia GF 9
Talk Talk ISP with the N router (3 aerials) but connected via ethernet
No specific port forwarding (never needed it)

There has been a previous thread on this but it was closed with no solution posted.

Have i missed the solution elsewhere? if not does any1 know if this has been rectified as more than 1 person seem to have this problem.....

here's hoping

Just for the record - WAR is poooooooooooooo (IMO) It is like a poor WoW PVP with LotRO graphics. It runs like a dog and is badly in need of bug fixes all over. Considering they scaled it down to make it easier they still released it way too early! And its completely different to CoX. Anybody that plays CoX and tries WAR - i doubt they will leave CoX entirely - not a good enough substitue at the moment. Of course all my opinion and people are free to play what they want

that toon is whack!! love ultimate showdown

great parody. I love COH and this is funny

i can never see how something that gains no advantage in game can be argued to be a bad thing if offered for cash for the lazy or the short of time. Even the full respec changes nothing - levelling to 50 on any character is 50 levels of work - either quickly grinded or slowly levelled. Some of the Vet rewards have a more sollid arguement as they provide a power not avialable to new players but its been done and accepted. Personally i think they should offer a whole lot more for RL cash.... costumes specs....costume packs (similar to GvE pack)... base items.... Supergroup renames.... unique titles....... there is so much they could do and people would pay .. i have no doubt. and revenue from services that gives no advantage in game is all good for NCsoft and us!!!

Humm I don't mind this at all. I can see there being a market for those who don't have alot of time to play and would rather spend that time playing than trying to gather the inf for a respec recpie. Pluss extra cash NCNC get will filter back to us eventualy(hopefuly).

There is one thing i have a few spare respec's on toons I dont play any more could i sell them back to NCNC I won't charge £5.99 how does 1 purple or a LOG + 7.5% recharge as a swop sound.

Superb - love this - alternate spin on it. You visit a lab and get the respec bottled up for selling. That would shake up the price of a respec recipe.

i have to admit - a 'full' respec for 5.99 is highly unlikely as a 'full' respec has been argued as a game mechanic breaker. i never understood this but bowed to popular comments. if it became available i would use it - mechanic breaker or not as it would allow me to reinvent my toons which i think is great.

/signed - very cool looking set

Most people i know do the TV trial now for the reare recipe at the end rather than the respec. It personally doesn't bother me as respec lost its importance when it became available in the AH's - if someone wants to pay for one.... its money in NC's pocket which helps game development

here are some

>> More tilesets for base building - tech or arcane is a bit limited and only so many decorative as well.

>> faded clock type face on powers recharging instead of ever increasing circles option so you can switch between either (pie chart type if that makes sense)

>> power descriptions on manage screen for powers yet to be taken in those pools ( at present only able to so during lvl up and little power list)

>> compass points added to description of area zoning to such as South Hollows, North Skyway City, Central Steel Canyon, East Perez Park, etc

>> Ferries (talos), monorails (steel) etc in each zone that circle the zone and are protected by police bots and can be riden as it were - for those that are sk'd to a much higher team and can't safely travel in zone.

>> Supergroup rename - SG creator or if not a member of it anymore then next longest member - chargeable like toon rename

>> more varied tilesets for mishes - different types of offices - caves with some above ground areas - in general just more variance in the standard models

>>more animated costume options that are influenced by travel powers
** jetpac simliar to jet boots for fly
** rocket rollerboots for superspeed
** spring boots for super jump

>> ability to choose any team members mish no matter the zone

>> confirmation dialog when in mixed hero/villain team before leaving RWZ etc in a TF

Visa - could only really do it with Electron cards - to do so on full blown Visa cards would hinder too much. Maestro is a debit card not credit. So i would assume any debit cards will get hindered as FFM suggests due to the direct link to a persons bank account but credit cards which are a seperate account will not be so limited.

of course - its just an opinion.

Characters that have powers changed.

Kyle Rayner - ION etc - probably too may too mention.
Superman - became pure energy based for a while.
Blue Beetle - simple gadgets - now a full blown symbiotic arnmour
Firestorm - too many changes to mention :P
Spiderman - literally died and came back different with major changes to powers (more spidery) - including new ones (believe these are gone now - good ol' marvel)
Hulk - not sure on this one but normal marvel is gamma experiment and utimate marvel is super soldier serum gone wrong. Not really power change but worth mentioning.
The flash - taps the speed force, is the speed force, fast runner.... the list probably goes on.

At the end of the day - its a suggestion that has been made a few times and i thought i would come up with a vague outline on how it could be achieved within a story and obviously to bump the request becuase i wouldn't mind the option! lol. I know some toons/players that don't like the idea of respecs at all and i respect that opinion as well. Whatever makes the game good for some players but is still only optional and doesn't change the balance of a character vs another character out of game context so as not to infuriate other players cant be a totally bad thing.....

just to confirm - i am only suggestion apowerset change - not an archetype change.

And sub-suggestion - maybe only one power set could be changed? maybe events play out differently and only the secondary set can be changed?

My request for red name comment was so i coul get a more official response. I appreciate all comments and its only a suggestion anyway. Hence why i thanked all for comments so far and to keep them coming...

I personally don't think anything added to the game mechanic is truly adopted by everyone but then that's where CoX's strengths come in - you don't need inventions, oroborus, RWZ,PvP, Bases or anything else that is 'extra' to get enjoyment out of the game - none of them are 'required' and none of them - tip the balance in any major form (IMHO). Respecs - powers or powersets are just as expolitable as all the other exploits which some people will take advantage of and others will ignore.

After just reading all this it is painfully obvious we wont get an offline cossy creator. Ideas from this though could be a SG cossy database that is available to choose - everyone has a costume slot for the SG costume which all in the SG could access from a station or room in the base?

@ Xemulas

I have thought about the implications - the game isn't always about rolling new alts. A lot of people have suggested this in the past (me being one of them) and i was looking to suggest a way it could happen without upsetting the status quo too much.

Respecs a while ago were rare, now all you need is 20-30mil and its yours - a few farming mishs and you're there.

@ Dr_Mechano

You have a point on the easy to level then switch but there is only so much you can do to stop farmers of this type. My idea was to reinvent a character in a comic book style that fitted in with existing storylines. The same way a noraml respec does but on a larger scale.

1st level exmpd: In retrospect. if it was a string of lvl50 mishs to stop your younger self being damaged as it were. I will update above.

Only team leader FULL respec: The setting of going back in time to stop the enemy changing your history is fairly easy to explain but the whole group? why would they be together then...? hence going back in time for them only changes their history slightly so only a standard respec.

The issue of balance will always be 50/50 asa there are some that can spend days online and some that can spend hours. If the sets are currenlty balanced at present then how does changing from 1 to another matter? no doubt this will get a few comments.

thanks for the thought out response though. Keep the comments coming...

come on rednames
