That's an important point. For too long the situation for CoH has been that nVidia has been the only choice. It's good to have more options. Also, while it's impossible to quantify this, I wonder how many players the game has lost because they already had an ATI card and the game simply didn't look very good on their PC? -
merits is enough of a leadership perk, nothing else please.

Quote:Thats well worth knowing.Originally Posted by M_I_Abrahms
Just ran the Hero side mission (and it is only one mission, non-repeatable) to see if it's worth it. It looks like the only reason to run them is if you want to unlock DJ Zero, but can't find someone to help with the two cross faction missions.

So yesterday I was offered 10 million infamy to use 200 merits to make a low level proc.
Apart from the price (they're dreaming), I didnt think the slider effected the level of them, that is the recipe always went to max level.
EG I get a LoTG+recharge, my character is lvl 50, so even if I put the slider to 25, I get a lvl 50 IO recipe. (or whatever the highest level drop is for the IO)
Thats how its always worked for me with the random roles, but never tried it for a fixed price recipe.
So does slider work to pick the exact level of the drop?
(if I was at home puter 'd just go test but ... ) -

Same problem in Australia. They also stopped selling game time cards a couple of years ago. You are lucky to find ONE lonely little city of villains box tucked away in the back of the stores shelves. And yes, they are the Australian distributors for PlayNC. They just don't actually distribute much at all in terms of CoH other than massive disappointment.

Do we get a badge yet for killing voids/quants/nictues.

I used to do that, until I forgot that was the case and my family came to visit and saw my picture collection.
Never again.

I do a mix, enough radios/papers to do the safeguard.mayhems and get the badges, some story arcs, a bit of AE to get me some tickets or when I cant be shagged sorting & selling, or if I cant face the same ol' contact arc again.

I like to go with level 35 IOs, really. That way, you can exemplar down pretty far, and still have set bonuses active.

Well, I'll certainly be on his case in July
If I like them, they are Freedom fighters;
If I'm not sure, they are Guerillas;
If I don't like them, they are Terrorists -
Its for playing hide and seek in Atlas

I suggest you use the channel search feature (right click in chat window and click channel search) to find a few Role play global channels, you will probably find team mate more accepting to your styles of play than randon pugs (Pick Up Groups) that way.
I'd echo that if all you said was 'staying' in character then you didnt explain as well as you should of.
Also note that turning off XP doesnt stop you from (unknowingly) leeching, as you get more inf, plus normal drops.
Plus what storm said

in Linux there's a few Open Source Screensavers where you just plonk your own image in and it alternates them. I'd be amazed if a similar thing didn't exist for windows, but proprietary and probably not free

Oh man, I hate to get my hopes up but this combined with the issues title really does bring the whole nemesis system idea to mind.
Okay, this is cool.. especially when you notice the phrase "four STANCE emotes"!! Man, there is so much win contained in this one article alone. -
Wow, wouldnt of expected as low as 20. Am actually surprised they changed it.
Kudos to devs for not staying stuck on tradition.
A first time player who doesnt end up in farms will take a while to get to 20.
IMO a bit higher would of been better - Epics before Auras ^-^
It will save me grinding to 50's on my daughters account to unlock them so thats nice. -
Quote:You should have another 6 transfers then. It appears like you have to pay right up to where you click "use token" in terms of dialogs etc.Originally Posted by plainguy
Bit confused here
I logged in after resubbing and did 6 transfers I think the next day after the account was renewed. That was about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
But now I several weeks later I do not get the offer to move over any more characters.
I read it as 6 character moves each 7 days. I thought it might be I can only move the existing characters I previously moved, but that of course is not the case.
Is it just a one time deal of moving 6 characters and your done ?
What am I misunderstanding ?
File a support petition if it's not letting you. -
And its annoying how much prestiage you need to spend to just be able to do an extra SF redside.
-
+1 to Daves_67's post.
-
The extra revenue from extra character slots might be a reason for extenstion. I never would of paid for a transfer (well doubt it) but I did pay for extra character slots to fit more on my main server...
Plus I think the tech for server transfer will be similar for changing sides after rouge /speculation
But thanks for them anyhow
-
Remember to join the server's global channels and the population is less an issue.
Also, make characters on every server
-
Its just the RNG hating you, I'm very sure I have had wakies drop.
Will pay extra attention now though
-
A workaround might be to have the ambushes spawn from the front o it takes time to get to the players if the boss is at the back.

Quote:I start slotting IOs from lvl 10. Mostly generics that you get for 10,000 inf or less, though if I have the salvage/drops, I'll frankenslot.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
TOs and DOs really arent worth what you pay for them, though. At TO levels, you do level fast enough that its only really worth slotting drops. DOs cost is so much so that, unless you have a few recipes to sell, a level 50 to dump cash from, or shear good luck, by the time you've got to the point you can slot a character with level 15 DOs, they are now level 16.
If the game is balanced around SOs (afaik, thats the case) then why not make them the only enhancements? The ammount of descrepancy between the different xOs feels like some huge leftover from the reign of Jack.
A lot of set recipes go real cheap (like 222 inf) below lvl 20. The minor (to me) % difference between IOs and DOs doesnt worry me, and I much prefer to have enhancments that dont go red and need restocking.
If the characters been lucky (either from drops or a bonus over payment from something on market) I'll start slotting the special IOs too (eg knock back protections).
Buying high level junk recipes and vendoring for 30 minutes will more than make enough to outfit lowbie characters, no luck required. Often 10 minutes will do the job (assuming a vendor sale of 5000 inf for junk IO sets - the generic recipes get much more than that). Villianside, its easy to buy up salvage for 11inf at the same time to make a little extra.
Villainside, I find lvl 1-5 superfast, a few laps around mercy, then a walk to the black killing things is enough though I often do kalinda's missions to get her number for later cape/aura missions.
I make sure I dont team between 5-10 as I like to try and get badge/temp power like loa bone from Boccor, or summon imps from Billy.
Heroside, I mostly run the sewers and get in the Kings row safe guard mission which normally takes me real close to 10 - sometimes turing off XP.
The story arcs espcially the fairly unique maps are darn good blueside imo, but I also find sewers a whole bunch of fun.
12-20 both sides drags a bit more, but I slot for end red, carry more blues and my alting a lot means for patrol XP. Actually my Alt-addiction means many of my lowbie have a half dozen dayjobs to turbo charge through the levels - For instance I liked having the rez power last sewer run, which no one expected from a lvl 3 blaster
It does feel grindy for me from 15ish to 30ish (depending on AT combo). 32 is typically my go-go good level with all your primary and able to slot lvl 35 IOs.
Then slows down again at mid 40's, while I wait to slot purples, but I tend to really enjoy the characters at this stage.
