Quote:Might be XP Home which requires tweaking to use folder permissions properlyOriginally Posted by LISAR
Why not change folder permissions to allow limited access accounts to modify the CoH folder? -
Leaving aside all rage about the global renames - I look forward to seeing the EU servers/players
and its far less than ideal but I'd suggest going the globalname.eu method to help preserve your identiy -
Quote:Good to know its being discussedOriginally Posted by Zwillinger
The appropriate teams have been made aware of the shared concern regarding loyalty rewards and issues encountered due to the security update.
What I've had communicated to me initially has been positive, however I cannot share the finalized decision just yet. Just as soon as I can give you all an update, I'll do so.
Thanks!

Blasters could still cast it for the damage buff

I think you can save it, but you must use it when you use that character next.

Is there a way to pick the default city of install?
Every time I launch it, it seems to default to city of heroes -beta version and starts downloading the update. I can cancel but it's getting annoying. -

Yes and no. Agree that you should read whatever you sign. However, there are laws against "Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices" and "Unconcionable contracts" with terms that would normally be considered outragious being burried in lots of legal mumbo-jumbo.
These are mainly protections for consumers. Business people are usually on their own -- which keeps lawyers busy
On a computer they tend to end up with a lot of toolbars with that attitude.

Does anyone ever read those things? I never do. For all I know NCSoft is now entitled to claim my first born and my immortal soul.

Aside from minor annoyance at extra click spam, and more time spent checking for updates, havent had any issues.
Was nice it found all my different test/beta installs.
Does like to default to the city of heroes beta though ): -
I bet that messes with the merit tally

My master NCsoft account has never had the same password as my CoH/Forum account.
But having the game login the same as forum login is still stupid and bad security.
Having the master account being able to share the same password is also not great secuirty practise.
edit:
I'm not going to risk buying, changing or editing anything on my master account until I get my precious vanguard pack.
Will lock outs cauuse people to lose that? -
Does the achilles heel chance to debuff res casue aggro in Surveillance? Is it worth slotting in there?
Thanks, -
Quote:So can we finally change having to have same password on our master account as the forum here. Its way to easy to hijack wireless users auth sessions and get not only thier forum account but master as well.
Remember that to keep your account secure you should always use unique passwords that you do not use for email, forums, or websites
I'll echo that this is all bling security, not real security, and will annoy users more than helps.
Both ISPs I use assign dynamic IP address's. I'll be reauthrising every damn day.
I bet that it is not going to change. -
Quote:Last informal poll on boards showed about half on hide.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
The good players typically hide from searches, since there are a lot of idiots on both sides of the line who use macros/binds to send spam invites to anyone online.
We use global channels.
I really disagree that 'good players typically hide from searches'.
Unless you are using some self selecting defination of good that requires hiding from searches. -
Quote:I think it would be harder to add tech to allow multple choice powers myself.
They don't even need to replace the power, they can just add abother one so people can choose
I love the idea of an AoE leviate. -
My RPG games would get more design time.

To me the most anti-team behavior are control freaks (not con/doms) on teams. I don't mind following a strategy, but when people have to try and tell a player every single thing to do, where to stand, and the order they activate powers, I end up leaving the group. -
Awesome idea.

Everything everyone posted so far is full of win!
I'd also like some flashback arcs showing off more of the classic COH history stories (and COV and Pre-Praetoria for that matter) that we only hear off hand or read about in plaques. -
I'm enjoying more leaderships on pug teams a lot.
I've picked up recall friend more often, the stealth pool of a few (mostly for LoTG muling) -
I have the CohUpdater.exe -compatiblecursors 1 on one computer which seems to enlarge the mouse icon (and make it look ugly). Might be wrth a try.
According to paragonwiki its now in options

Quite a few people I've seen with group fly are MMs using it with pets. Not sure how prompts react with them. I doubt well.

Make sure you /bug it as well as /petition it.
Don't have any other advice, sorry. -
I brought them from the 'wrong' bartender the other day to. I assumed the bartenders just sold them to everyone now - i didnt check to see if they worked.

I like buying the back up radio before switching alignments. I always use it once - not sure if thats needed, but a lot of fun summoning the wrong faction buddy to help
