For PC computers, using the NCsoft Launcher the method is as follow:
- Copy the shortcut (or make a new one) for the NCsoft Launcher.
- In the copy, edit the properties so that the target contains the correct parameter for your account at the end. The command line should appear as:
- If you have a North American Account: (path)\NCLauncher.exe /LaunchGame=CohTest
- If you have a European Account: (path)\NCLauncher.exe /LaunchGame=euCohTest
- Run the new shortcut
- The NCsoft Launcher will prompt you for a path to install the Training Room client.
- By default, the installation path of the normal City of Heroes game client is C:\Program Files\NCSoft\City of Heroes, the default installation path for the testing client is C:\Program Files\NCSoft\CoHTest.
Keep NCSoft from shutting down City of Heroes : http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes
"The name '"C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe /LaunchGame=CohTest' is not valid.
I think I missed something somewhere...

I believe your quotes may be in in the wrong place. The command line arguments should be outside the quotes, so when you look at the path in the shortcut it should read:|

I have a bit of a problem with the test server - i have installed it but when i log on, i have no access to the new powers - bio armour etc. Could anyone help me with this please?
I am not on test but I believe all new content that will be featured through the Paragon Market on Live needs to be "bought" from the test server's Paragon Market. You should have unlimited PP on test for that purpose.
It is done so that the devs know whether or not the purchase on live will behave as expected.

You do need to "buy" items on Test and Beta, but you don't have unlimited Paragon Points. |

Those items just cost 0 PP on Beta and Test.
Remember, Beta and Test are two different installs.
If you are wanting to test the new powersets and other items I'd recommend using the Beta server instead. Items often don't go on the Test server until right before they are released to Live or even after they are released to Live.
To create a Beta server install, follow the instructions given above for the Test install but instead of /LaunchGame=CoHTest you would need to put /LaunchGame-CoHBeta instead. Again, have it install to a different directory than the Live game.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Can someone help me out with a link to the test server download please? I lost my copy of Test during my latest computer upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
