Try to time it for when a free weekend comes up and then you won't be paying anything. Of course, waiting until next summer might be a bit much.

my own GEForce 6800 died a couple of nights ago while playing and that fairly well describes what i was seeing before it happened. i'm now on the older card i upgraded from and can't play CoH (too ancient to work with the game). my recommendation is to first try reseating your video card (pull it out, then put it back in) to make sure it's not just loose. If you still have the problem, try using another video card (steal one for a moment from another computer, find an old card lying around, or whatever) to see if you have the issue with a different card. If it goes away when the reseating or a different card, then at least you've discovered the problem. If not, you may need to dig further for the cause of the issue.

i'm missing playing CoH right now, since i was working on saving up enough money to upgrade my system two MONTHS from now, but at least i can log into forums and such with the current, older card.

This sounds like something you need to petition in game.

i've been working on my crafting badges all week with an alt and haven't had a bit of problem. When i buy something, it's in my inventory afterwards.

Most of my IRL friends have bought lifetime subs, so Hubby and i did, too. i've played it a little, but my computer can't really handle it right now. Hubby and i are working on upgrading my computer, but that will take some time. (Not an issue when you've already paid up for life.) If nothing else, CO gets my gratitude for finally forcing Hubby to look into getting me a better system.

What little i've played (mostly on my Husband's computer) was okay. i still prefer CoH, though. Honestly, if my IRL friends were still in CoH, i'd never even check out any other games. But, i do like teaming with my friends, no matter in which games, so most likely i'll play CO on the nights (in other games it's been once a week) where we have a scheduled game night, and play CoH the rest of the time.

i had this very same issue with the bugged heist mission on the 20th. i cleared it, checked to make sure that no one was hiding in a nook or cranny, couldn't find anything i'd missed, but the mission wouldn't complete. Finally, i decided to petition it. Tabbed out to check my mail (since sometimes you get auto-responses if there's a long queue) and by the time i'd tabbed back into the game GM_Lara was there and willing to help. She quickly and efficiently searched the map, declared it a bugged, incompletable map, and finished it for me. i was quite happy with friendliness, response time, and skill in the GM that helped me. She was there literally less than 5mins since i'd sent the petition.

That particular mission is bugged. She also filed a bug report for it, so that it can be fixed in an upcoming patch.

There's nothing wrong with trying to get a healing badge on an AT other than a "healing" type. It's amusing to do, for one thing. For another, when you've played forever, you have to have SOME type of goal. i've done it with a blaster. So, implying someone is a n00b because they took medicine to get a healing badge is a bit short sighted.

Was working fine for me today on Pinnacle. my poor kin/elec body is covered with the bootprints of trolls running over me as i jumped down into the middle of them, thinking i might actually be able to do something..

This was BEFORE morning maintenance, FWIW.

THANK YOU, Niviene and Avatea! Finally got to have the space i've always needed. i, too, finally have matching forum and global names.

Some of us are having these issues with East Coast servers, specifically. It appears to be a connection somewhere between our ISPs and the CoH servers. It might not be your computer. If you're playing on East Coast servers, you might try a West Coast server, just to see if that "fixes" the problem.

Personally, i feel that if the account was canceled before globals even existed, so that the name doesn't have a global attached, they probably are NOT coming back, so it should be safe to purge their names. There is no customer loyalty there to protect.

If they should, some day, come back, they can take their chances just like the rest of us when it comes to picking a new name.

i only tested the new costume parts. Meh. i'll see I16 soon™ enough.

i used to do tech support for a fertility software company. Now i'm just a mommy (again.) i miss my old job. i got to do it at home, in my panties if i wanted to, and still play CoH WHILE getting paid for my tech support job. (No, i wasn't neglecting it, i could just pause in playing to handle any new issues that came up, sorta like i do with my kids' issues.)

i want my old job back. Or one just like it.

No. It's a simple on/off toggle. It's not really an issue, though. You can always edit out the extraneous info, if necessary. i log all of my chats, on all of my characters, all the time, just in case i need to go back and check on something someone said. (When you RP a lot, you don't always remember what should have been very memorable scenes.) It doesn't really take up that much space.

i opened this thread because it looked like it was gonna be fluff and didn't look as daunting as trying to keep up with multiple threads of Rookery fluff. i guess i'll just stop looking for fluff here.

This isn't the fluff thread i thought it was.

And Rookery is still too daunting to try to tackle with a new thread started every day.

my graphics have been like that since i came back to the game. i assumed it was because my graphics are set to minimum and didn't think anything else about it.

my old vid card used to do that all the time. It simply couldn't handle how hot it would get and would overheat (until that one day when it overheated a little bit too much... *plays taps*). So, from my personal experience, i would say overheating. But i'm not the expert some of the guys here are.
