According to the I14 release notes, parodies are not allowed. That will really throw a wrench into one of my planned arcs

Well, assuming that NCNC interprets characters from a fictional video game called "Hyper Batali Bros" to be parodies.

Mission name: The Coral-Encrusted Sword
Arc ID: 3321 (now live!)
Morality: Villainous
Length: Very Long
Description: Operative Vargas has let you in on a deal to become filthy rich by helping him steal an artifact from the losers at Cage Consortium. Of course, these sorts of things never turn out as planned. 1 EB, 2 AVs (one optional). Special guest appearance by one of my villains that you get to beat the tar out of! Yay!
What you were drinking when this was created?: Jones Root Beer

4/09/09: made some updates based on feedback

How about this for "rating" poor arcs:

If you don't complete it, you can't rate it. However, each published arc also keeps track of the total number of times started (and perhaps also number of times completed), and displays this on the GUI in the list of MA arcs. If you see an arc with few or no ratings but a large number of times started, that should indicate that it probably isn't worth the attempt.

This doesn't do much to help those first people who try the arc, but such is the risk that you take when you play untested player-created material

Here's a question:

If we own the Cyborg pack, will we be able to give custom enemies the Self Destruct temp power?

*evil grin*

I must admit some level of curiosity at the fact that you've been playing since launch but seem unaware of the extent and depth of the ATI issues that have plagued this game since launch.

[/ QUOTE ]

In fairness, I played with ATI hardware for the first 3 and a half years of this game's life and never noted any major driver issues, though I'm not a major technophile when it comes to PC video. On the contrary, I *have* noticed a couple since going to Vista and an Nvidia card, but thats another story.

Ask Agent Ruby: Whoah, partnership with AMD? Does that mean that NVIDIA support will slowly disappear and you will only be able to play the game in the future with an ATI card?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry Philotic, I gotta ask the same question. Ruby will this ATI partenership mean those of use who spent money on NVIDIA cards are SOL? If it does, I may not be able to keep playing this game which would be sad for me. The year I've been on has been a great time.

Not sure why people would think this... just because the official video card partner for the game has switched doesn't mean that the game will simply stop working on other graphics hardware. After all, CoX has been playable under ATI cards for years now before the new partnership, albeit with a few driver hiccups.

Take care of yourself Lighthouse. Oh, and if you ever do find my old posts lying around in a garbage bin somewhere after the forums were done chewing on them, just toss me a note so I know where to find em

I find it curious that the Mac beta download is only available from the EU site

One interesting thing: when I run the game launcher, the HTML components appear briefly and then blank out. Before the website update, the same thing happened, but the images would appear and remain after I moused over them. Now, it just stays blank.

This is under Vista if that helps.

Odd ball collection of generic toons on first look of 'Pick a side and fight' thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

IIRC that video was from the original rollout of veteran's rewards, so they were using a bunch of different characters to showcase different vet reward costume parts. Hence the oddball-ness

[ QUOTE ]

Same here...wonder if there's a way to note that somewhere so people who don't visit the forums or aren't tech-savvy know what to do?

In the worst case, most of the people running into this should be A-OK after their next reboot if they don't know how to clear their DNS cache. If they haven't tried to go to www.coh.com since the last time they started their computer up they should just go straight to the new site without any issues.

[ QUOTE ]
Just a note, when I typed in www.coh.com just now, it sent me to the old site.

[/ QUOTE ]

Points to the new site for me. Either they work *very* fast, or you've still got the DNS for the old site in your cache.

Hm. While IE6 is no longer the current version, it still has a substantial installationn base. Something to look into to see if it can be fixed, Lighthouse.

Out of curiosity, are those of you running IE6 able to view Tabula Rasa's website successfully?

GW is easier on the eyes than Posi.

[/ QUOTE ]

And how. No offense Posi

Wasn't expecting a whole new site to go along with new forums, but I won't complain

Yeah, the GW hold is definitely safe. And frankly, there are some flat out terrible, nigh-useless EPP powers as well that never get taken because there are ridiculously overpowered options to take instead. It should come as no surprise that some EPP powers are going the way of the dodo along with some PPP duds.

And just so long as they let me keep my Water Spout, nobody has to get stabbed. For the next couple minutes, at least.

Wait.... one of the criteria is "quality of screenshots" and the other is "800x600 resolution".


I run my game in 1680x1050. Translating that to 800x600 loses almost everything worth having it in that resolution to begin with... o.o

[ QUOTE ]
800x600 resolution or better

[/ QUOTE ]



Not to worry, I had to read it twice to catch that part too.

I may have to give this a shot myself. Kinda getting tired of beating my computer into submission, so it'd be nice if somebody gave me a shiny new one

Don't forget to grab all my posts the forum ate when you move to the new platform I suppose I'll eventually get over it though if they're all lost and gone forever
