Yeah, looks like we don't need you till that big pillow fight on the bouncy bed scene with Neko Ali, DP, Becky, and you.

I'm unable to duplicate this on 5770's. What driver set are you using?

lessee... the only outstanding issue with ATi and CoH as of right now is Ambient Occlusion and Antialiasing are borked on the RadeonHD 5000 series cards.

Atop Windows CoH's Ultra Mode works across 10.1, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6.

Of Course! *offers Pogo some coffee flavored ice cweam*

*Eyes Fey and Becky...*

has the sackthingy been good enough to warrant ice cweam?

*initiates the Orbital Ribbon Cannon, flooding the clones with billions of ribbons and tying them up!*

The Feline Foundation would like to thank to thank Stunrunner's Mercenary service for the advanced intel on Puppeh Purchases of Cloning Equipment. There will be ice cream and cake for the Victorious Kitteh Forces and their Allies!

updates from the field of battle.

The Kitteh's Tiger Brigade has broken through the Puppeh Defensive line, taking the Fridge for all it's worth.

General Neko Ali, responsible in part for the relaunch of hostilities has been spotted in a neutral lap napping.

Reports from both sides indicate that the FireKitties and HellHounds have entered into combat with an Ice Creature. The Ice Creature is expected to be melted shortly.

The campaign for the hearts and minds of all non-kitties goes well as Kittenganda Minister VexXxa launches a brand new multimedia campaign for the Kitten Forces.

As a counter move, it's been reported that the Puppeh have begun areal bombings of the Coffee Machine, violating the neutral air-zone of Coffeeopia.

Stay tuned to W.R.O.K. Channel 42 Rook for further updates through out the day. We now return you to your regular showing of Triple Dare with your host Bark Summers.

I tend to agree with the concept of "making items more readily available without having to use the Auction House / Market"

I've got a post floating around that is hugely un-popular with many players because I state flat out that the solution to the Auction House / Market does not have to involve the Auction House / Market: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...82&postcount=1

1. A solution to the rising inflation of Auction House goods must be equally available to all players on a consistent basis. Solutions based on luck of the drops or time played are inherently unfair to the casual player or may only have 4 hours a week to spend in the game, or for regular players who might run into problems with work scheduling or other outside issues.
2. A solution to the rising inflation must be neutral to all alignments. Devising a solution that only benefits one alignment will do nothing but anger a significant amount of the player base.
3. A solution to the rising inflation cost should be non-farmable, or have decreasing values in farm environments. A system should encourage players to... play the game... and not simply "work the system" for maximum benefit.
4. A solution must keep in mind that the vast majority of the game needs to be balanced against Single Origin builds, not tweaked IO builds.
5. A solution does not need to encourage players to participate in the Auction House System

Presuming the developers were to agree with these guidelines, yes, lowering average merit costs would indeed help players put their avatars into an IO state without having to grind or farm certain contents on a repeating basis.

Now, not to leave you without a fix for what you want now, it is possible to force Microsoft Windows to direct all calls made to explorer.exe's browser mode to another existing browser, such as FireFox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, or Konqueror.

As to how to do that, I'm not sure I could give you accurate instructions.

Castle has actually said it's in the hands of the U.I. guys. However, there hasn't been a clear way stated for us to contact the U.I. guys and tell them to add a prompt / no-prompt option.

Today the war between the Kittehs and the Puppehs resumed. The Kitteh's made gains across the ChewToy Plains, fighting the forces of Puppeh in all out hissing and barking melee.

The Puppeh Offensive lines advanced within the residential sections of Cat-Tree City, preferring to use dirty guerrilla tactics such as marking the bases of trees, and yapping at any Kitteh that dared to lower a paw to the ground.

The fight at the Kitchen reached a standstill, with the Puppeh faction holding the Fridge with a barricade of Rocking Chair traps and the Kitteh Faction holding at the Can Opener with a strong defense of ribbon mines and ribbon turrets.

Reports from other areas are still coming in, with indications that the Puppeh Faction have brought out the catnip grenades in the fight for the living room couch.

Really. Fleeting. Have you read ANYTHING D.V. has posted in this thread? Logic and whoever is at the keyboard are as separated as a fool and his money.

That being said, that is an excellent rebuttal

Prepares the Anti-Puppeh Cannons and the Puppeh-Off sprays!

yes. you did.

Back in March Going Rogue was targeted for a July Release: http://goingrogue.na.cityofheroes.co...ing-rogue.html

The game has basically been delayed from the July Time point: http://goingrogue.na.cityofheroes.co...ouncement.html

Some retail vendors, like Amazon, had already assigned a July release point in their Point of Sales (P.O.S.) systems. Other retail vendors, like Gamestop, had assigned a late August or early September release for the product in their P.O.S. systems.

Theoretically we should see the "new" official launch date propagating through retail vendors P.O.S. systems over the next few weeks. It could take some time for the guys running the databases to get everything synched though.

There is a difference between making an informational request, such as:

Hi there: Last year I heard that there were going to be various waves of beta's for players who met certain qualifications. Does anybody know if this Wave invite system is active?

and what most of these threads are:

Hey! I met a qualification for one of the previously announced Beta Invites! Why haven't I been invited yet!?

she could be Je le sais tous les.

And now with that ego trip out of the way, I'll be running from the inevitable anvil tossed in my direction.

yeah, I kept thinking along this line myself. Sometimes the "gameplay" mechanic needs to trump "logic."

Another excellent case in point was the original granite armor for Stone Tanks, which had an accuracy debuff. In logical terms it makes sense that a multi-ton hunk of rock would have problems accurately hitting enemies, and enemies would have an easy time figuring out what attack the multi-ton hunk of rock was launching. In play it was found that the accuracy debuff was frustrating to players constantly wiffing at mobs. The debuff also prevented the tank from fulfilling it's gameplay design: holding aggro.

So, the granite armor penalty was changed to just do less damage. No, it doesn't make sense that a multi-ton hunk of solid rock punching an enemy does less damage, but the game-play goal of a debuff penalty to the armor set was met without aggravating the player.

That particular change has been in place for so long, it's barely thought of now. Yes, the topic comes up every once in a while when somebody declares it's time for Stone Armor to be revamped... but for the most part the player base has gotten used to the sacrifice of logic in favor of game-play mechanics.

I suspect in time the more hard-core Role-Players will also accept the sacrifice of a bit of story immersion in favor of a superior game-play mechanic.

I imagine VexXa's earthquake detection is... http://www.sgvy.com/archives/Edda1/Issue2/Page1.html

TCS. we don't have to assume.

We can read your posts.

We know your history here.

I'm going to be blunt here. If I was in the closed beta and I saw you login, I'd hit the /petition immediately, then go find something else to play until well after the game releases. Whether or not you like it, and from all aspects either you do not like it or do not realize it, you have a reputation as a troll. You have a reputation as a player that does not understand the base mechanics of the game. You have stepped on the toes, repeatedly, of many of the better players.

We've tried to correct you in the past. We've tried to engage you on a "meaningful" level. From all past attempts, we have failed.

Again, being blunt, I harbor no doubts that the only reason you want to be in the beta is to oooh and aaah over the shiny new features. I harbor no doubts that you are not interested in providing feedback on any new mechanics to the developers. I harbor no doubts that you are not interested in providing feedback to Intel, Nvidia, or AMD/ATi. I harbor no doubts that you are not interested in testing Cider / Cedega compatibility. I, as a player with a personal opinion, harbor no doubts that the only thing you could bring to a beta environment is a complete and total ability to torque off all of the other players.

Beyond that, the developers have done everything but say: If you ask to be in the beta, you will not be in the beta.

Now, if you have a legit reason for asking to be in the beta, that does somewhat change. Lets say you work for a third party that is semi-involved with the game, such as AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Transgaming, or Khronos; feel free to PM a mod asking if it would be possible to gain access to the closed beta.

Private Messaging a Moderator is completely different from posting a public thread on the forums.

as of the current build on the test server, the slifbos 2 command has been disabled and is not accelerating SLI setups.

There is no known "official" method of enabling multi-gpu support at this time.

Stay tuned to The Television for further updates on Multi-GPU Support

I honestly am surprised to hear this...
