    ToTing didn't follow the normal spawning rules. The high number of lts and bosses was intentional so that they weren't rare which would make getting the badges for their defeat inordinately difficult.

    WRT other spawns in regular missions: Once you got two people on the team, you'll get bosses. That's WAI. What wasn't working as intended was the lack of bosses over a large swath of factions for teams of 6 or less for the past two years.

    If the current number of lts and boss spawnage is too difficult for you, then lower your difficulty to -1/1.

    1. Street sweep heading toward the trainer up in Mercy City. By the time you get there, you can hit level 4 in 10 minutes.

    2. If you're doing this for the badges, then forget about Ninja Run, sprint on over to Grandville and get a flight pack. Some badges are located on top of things that Ninja Run can't get you too, and then you'll have your Travel Power at level 1.

    Fix that.

    Not being snarky, just the history of the servers' ability to remain stable more than four days during holiday stressing.
  6. Next thing you know, you'll be telling me heroes will have access to these so-called ' 'dark' ' powers!

    Can someone either debunk or support this rumor for me?

    Gracias Muchachos
    Hey Jags, I found the candy cane shield and sword, Jags! Just follow me to candy mountain, Jaaaaags!

    But you can not have more than one of them in a row. Nor can a space start or end a name.

    That sounds broken to me. Very much so.
    Surely an Awaken or a teammate's rez would leave you invulnerable for 10 seconds as you toggle up or seek safety.
  10. Chat can use the extended characters.

    But for English server names, only the period, apostrophe, question mark, and hyphen can be used and only one of them once, and not at the beginning of a name. The rest are the standard roman alphanumeric characters (small and capital case, which are not distinguished by the game for uniqueness).

    So for the first few minutes we sit about and try to damage Lord Winter to little avail. We just didn't have enough DPS and -regen.
    Then, all of a sudden, out pop at least a dozen Northern Lights and we wipe.
    We wipe hard.
    But still, not totally unexpected.

    Except the lights follow us to the hospital...
    ...
    And so does Lord Winter.

    As you may imagine, this causes considerable problems as you can't even full stand up before you're dead again...

    Just so you know Rednames, while this is rather hilarious, it's just as annoying.
    We had a 0% chance of winning this. In fact, I'd say, judging by the debt we collected, we had a negative chance of winning.

    I collected at least 433k debt in the space of a few minutes, but then again, I thought that dying before fully standing was hilarious, and kept hosping even though LW was standing right on top of me.
    I bet a million influence that most, if not all, of you just laid there dead until everyone wiped hoping someone would rez you. So, once you're all dead and it's obvious no one will rez you and you can't use your Awaken right next to Lord Winter, then you all go to the hospital all at once.

    Now, that you're all at the hospital station, the Northern Lights and Lord Winter come to you and you've created your own hospital spawn camp.

    So, what to do about it?

    1. When you are defeated, go immediately to the hospital and run immediately away from the hospital so you don't bring agro there. Let the other teammates keep LW's agro where he is. Even if they soon follow you to the hospital, you're now away from the hospital drawing agro away from it.

    2. When you die, you have the option of going to your base as well as hospital. No one on the team had a base with a rez-ring?

    3. Giant Monsters were designed to be content for more than one team. Can some single teams defeat a GM? Yes. If a single team can't defeat a GM, is that a bug or design flaw? No. In other words, there's nothing to complain about here.

    If you had two full teams and you're all wiping at exactly the same time (yes, 16 simultaneous deaths) and you all simultaneously go to the field hospital which drags GM agro to it... then I'd say there was something wrong. But if you only have one team, and they all decide to wait for each other to go to the hospital at once, then, this is a strategy you should change. Not an AI problem the Devs need to fix.

    I believe they're audio only. Do you have the sound turned on your computer? The sound control turned up on the site's player?

    The top part is a player, the lower part is to download the files to listen to on your ipod.

    Then again, I'm a fan of calling things by their real names, because it's both a little easier to discuss and a little more interesting to read. That, and "pole" powersets get suggested fairly often, but rarely make the distinction between bladed polearms like halberds and pointed polearms like pikes, and there have been a few scythes in the mix, as well. Clarity on which weapon does what helps straighten things out.
    What if 'e's got a pointed stick?

  16. Since CoH, like many MMOs, most likely has a sniffing tool to detect client side bot programs, then it's likely for that sniffing tool to be identified as a keylogger, since that's exactly what it's doing.

    If CoH is currently *not* running on your computer and Kapersky says that CoH is *actively* and *currently* running as a keylogger.... *then* you can be concerned.

I did a "sample" /respec and it seems the patron pool isnt available. Are the patron powers no longer available? Has something changed in the eons of time that I havent logged in in which I need to complete in order to get my powers usable again? Thanks in advance CoXers!
    First, make sure you're not in any exemplared condition: Mission Architect arc; Flashback arc; on a Strike Force; in a PvP zone. Open up your team window, if it says "Quit TF", then quit it. Make sure you're not on any team.

    If you have this badge, Spider's Kiss (look under Accolades in the Badge Window), then that's proof you did the arc and should have access to Patron Pool Powers. If you respec, you should then be able to chose any Patron Pool besides GW's.

    Either way, exit the game and delete the file checksum.coh from the CoH directory. Reboot. Enter the game and let the updater verify all files.

    Now, if you have Spider's Kiss and no Patron Pool access, then send an in-game /petition and let costumer service fix your toon.

    If you don't have Spider's Kiss, then attempt to get a Patron Arc mission from GW and see what happens. You may have to speak to Arbiter Rein again. If she gives you the first arc (this one), then you are mistaken and never did that arc to open up the Patron Pool (are you sure you're on the right toon on the right server? I've been known to mistaken what my toon did on the Live server from what a copy of my toon did on the Test server.), or, that Badge went bye-bye.

    If it's the case the Badge disappeared on you, you can /petition to get it back, or, simply run the arc again.

    Normally, I would let the obvious bugs and inconsistencies stand since they do provide a work-around to the level 20 limit, but since the female model is excluded from the work-around, I'll keep on harping on it:

    Thanks all for tips & advice and sorry for the late reply. I tried graphics settings and your suggestions but sadly there was no help. What finally sorted it out was reinstalling Windows (not the game), no idea why but the pictures finally work properly.
    Just out of curiosity. If you do a CoH Helper log, does it show all of the settings correctly now? Because if it does, then the probable culprit was a corrupt registry.

    Yes. If the updater itself is updated, it won't know what to do.

    And I *think* you have to revert to the correctly named updater for patches.
