  1. That's a shame - fighting 2 minions, 2 lieuts and a Tarantula Queen generally leaves me needing Healing Flames a couple of times - if it isn't going to be as effective now I maw as well just commit suicide at their feet
  2. My comment on your current favourite choice is 'Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...' that looks damn fine. I am currentl;y using the Xfx nVidia 9800GT - 512Mb, 650Mhz and that plays CoX and Assassins Creed on full Gfx so you should be fine with the 9800GTX
  3. On a similar but slightly different note - with the i13 changes to PvP self-heal has been adjusted as far as I have been able to discern. How would this affect me in RV - not PvP'ing, just pillbox/arachnos hunting? Would my fire tanks heal still be poorer than it once was?
  4. And for the love of god get rid of the bloody fog!!!
  5. Lol - nothing new there then
  6. Wow I guess GR got some new 'Thread Clippers' for xmas! I would dearly love to know what all the deleted posts were about
  7. Happy Christmas to the forgotten guys, all at NC and all the folks who haunt the various servers - had better say it now before I get any less sober and lose the ability to type

    Yep - when I went hunting it was pre-dredge days lol
  9. I have this problem intermittently - it is either really bad, or non-existant. Doesnt seem to matter when I play or which computer I play on - just at times it is really bad for mapservers - others it isnt...

    i say merge all the servers into one and then we can implement this

    The European Union commissioners have announced that an agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility.
    As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).

    In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c".
    Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.

    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make a word like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.

    In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they should go.

    By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by " v".

    During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst place!

    Iirc when I went down there looking for it (with vidiotmap overlay) the plaque was invisible - I got it by randomly clicking the area where it should have been lol! Honestly - why would someone put a plaque in an abandoned sewer system??? lol

    Yeah abandoned sewers it is - still a sod to find even in right area zone lol - took me AGES!
  13. I would do it but I dont play often enough - lvl 45 I could get you in about a year if thats any good?
  14. Most people have this problem with the Dimensional Warder badge. It took me many hours of anguish going through them all again till I got the elusive one! The three contacts you need are Tina Macintyre, Maria Jenkins and Unai Kemen if I recall correctly - may be worth checking Unai if yuou havent already!
  15. The thing that keeps me playing CoH at the moment is badges, therefore:

    Main: Golden-Phoenix
    Powers: Fire/Fire Tanker
    Goals: Complete the badge set and Fully IO her

    There are 3 badges for the old run and 3 badges for the new run. Both runs have Gold, Silver and Bronze badges with different titles.

  17. So how many badges are there to be had here - are there seperate badges for the toboggan run??

    Winter Event?

    Well I abused my second build last night and took flight, ss and sj. Managed to get the Bronze and Silver with Flight (although it took a few goes) but i think 30 secs is abt the best I am going to get out of that power lol.

    Winter Event?

    I really can't do the whole skiing thing - can anyone give useful pointers to a ski novice?? I always miss pretty much every gate

    Winter Event?

    Are there any new badges for this years winter event?
  21. Personally maths doesnt enter my head when playing. I work on the bais of 'if i feel comfortable, run with it'. To me a fight is a fight - as a level 50 tanker attempting to solo purples doesnt worry me but I do know that a mob of lvl 54 Bosses/Lieuts is too much to handle. I think a lot of the thinking behind this could be down to relating back to when you were a lowbie who wouldn't go within 100 yards of anything above Orange for fear if instant death. As you level up and gain power and confidence you know you can handle the higher level mobs and don't want to be seen as weak among peers by fighting mere orange/red mobs.

    On the basis of 'inf is inf' I will fight whatever is in front of me and enjoy the ride however hard it is!
  22. I too couldnt log on at about 8pm but for some reason Vista had decided to remove CoX from the firewall exceptions list - readded then and it started working agin. Stupid Vista!!!
  23. I had a go at stacking last night - it is such hard work to get it to stack properly!!!!! Eventually I got too tired and went to bed lol
