Commander

Just wanted to make the offer incase anyone that used to play on Virtue was looking to trade an awesome name they still have there for one I have on Freedom.

Looking to trade the name "Clone" (the actual word, not the 'I' for 'L' substituion trick) for something equally as awesome on Virtue. (Would love to get my hands on the name "Commander" btw :P )

I'm looking for one word (descriptive) names, no spellng tricks, and hopefully a name that's equally as wanted as the name "Clone."

Feel free to PM me with offers.

Thanks,
AC

I dunno what it is. Lately, CoH starts to crawl after an hour of playing. When I check the CPU, it's running close to 100%. Normally, while playing CoH, it uses about 1 1/2 gigs of ram, but when it starts to crawl, it hits close to 4 gigs.

This only happens when I play CoH, however. Never have this issue when I play Aion.

Here's some info:

CoHHelper

A couple of years ago, I had a dream. In this dream, we were able to enter "Valhalla." But, this version of Valhalla was something that would be like merging Mercy Island, Atlas Park, and Nova Praetoria.

In our "Valhalla," we would have access to many different features. There would be a "wall of heroes past" that listed the names of level 50 alts that were inactive for more than a year. You could then click on their names and read any bio information or badges. This way you could still "remember" the friends you had that left. Kind of like a tribute to all of those that had fallen.

In our "Valhalla," there would be a giant Funeral Hall where people could go to "kill off" an alt. In reality, what you would be doing is locking, and saving that character info and freeing up character slots (beyond 36) and allowing you to make, save, and restore alts that were deleted/frozen. Then once you have all 36 slots taken up, you can repeat the process so you could have unlimited alts per server.

In our "Valhalla," there would be a giant "Hall of Records" that would allow you to view all of your characters data. Time of creation, hours played, etc. You could then allow/disallow access to others so they could view your data.

In our "Valhalla," also in the "Hall of Records," we would be able to copy character data so that way you could temporarily copy a character to another server, play, get badges, earn items, then after the time period you selected has expired, the character data is returned to its homeserver and the temp copy is deleted from the new server.

In our "Valhalla," there would be a specific area for RP'ing things like Weddings. There would be a contact that pulls the character info ($name, $gender, etc) and would have a random announcement flash across the screen, so that all in the area could witness the "wedding vows."

In a nutshell, "Valhalla" would be a multipurpose zone that would, basically, have all of the proposed "Vault" info available, ingame, rather than have the server issues when it comes to pulling data outside of the game.

What I find interesting is the red lightning cracking in the background.

Weather Effects ftw

There is a chance that the sound effect could have been from another game. However, what you could do is wait for the person to leave their appt. then quickly run past them, wearing your Arachnos cape, and shout, "Excuse me! Can you tell me which way is Atlas Park? I just went Rogue and I'm not exactly sure which way the Tram is."

If he responds and tells you that you need to take a left at Citadel, you know you've found another fan.

If he doesn't respond, just stare at him and break out the /em robotdance emote. He should walk away. If he calls the Police, tell them that you don't recognize their authority as you are a citizen of the Rogue Isles.

Either way, you make a new friend: the person in the next appt. or the guy in the drunk tank.

I vote Option 1.

Why?

Most of the graphics in game are close to 10 years old. Going back to the teaser trailers released in 2002 and 2003, many of the same costume pieces were being used. That means most of the graphics were made using standards of 2001-2002.

We're heading into 2011. While most of the game is being given an overhaul, there is little to no need to be using the same standards from 10 years ago. Why? Because computers/video cards from 10 years ago have become obsolete (or close to it.)

There is NOTHING (with the exception of programs made for fanatics that can not move on) on the current market being made specifically for hardware that is 10 years old. City of Heroes should be no exception.

David has said that no files will be removed. That all pre-existing items will be given a textural overhaul. That's what the game has needed for at least 5 years.

I know players that sit by and cry "More is better! More options is always better!" Well, it's not. If you are someone that uses any of the newer costume pieces, you can plainly see that 80% of the older files look horrible when used in conjunction. Why take a step backwards and make the newer pieces compatible with the older pieces? You're only making your characters look less than "super" when compared to the scenery (and upcoming scenery changes.)

Now ask yourself this: How many of you, in your wardrobe, only have and wear clothes that are 10+ years old? I'm sure the majority of people have moved onto new clothes rather than wear faded clothes from 10,000+ washings. Why should your in-game avatars be any different?

I'm guessing the majority of people wanting Option 2 are mainly doing so to hold onto a bit of nostalgia. While nostalgia is good, it should NEVER be a determining factor to stop progress, be it in real life or in a game.

No. It's been FAR too long to have to wait around to make our characters live up to the "super" moniker. There is no sense in heading into the future while wearing old, dingy and faded clothes from a decade ago.

Although it was removed from the game: "The Chosen One."

I still have the title set on a few alts.

*curses the badge gods*

Residents... or if we have a European game account?

>.>

How am I just noticing this just now? :P

Thanks all.

Interesting. Maybe it was a recent change? I could have sworn that Khan and Cuda had separate settitles a couple of months ago?

That or I'm just out of it :P

*Edit*

Hmm.. maybe they did change it. According to ParagonWiki's settitle page:

643 Master of the 5th Column Strike Force Badge Master of the 5th Column Strike Force Badge
644 Master of the 5th Column Task Force Badge Master of the 5th Column Task Force Badge

Yep, the redside Reichsman badge is a separate badge. The Khan Master badge is completely different, even eith a separate /settitle.

I gave it some thought and I believed I didn't have any rules. But, as I rolled new alts, I stopped dead and realized that I do have rules/rituals for the game:

1.) As soon as I roll an alt, I have to remove EVERY power from the trays and set up 4 power trays. I then go into my Veteran Rewards badges and claim every power I use. Once I claim all the powers, I then set up each power tray, each row having a specific purpose (ie. tray 1 is primary, tray 2 is secondary plus hasten, tray 3 is armors, tray 4 is temp powers and any teleport powers.)

2.) I reset all chat window and load my custom chat file, which has multiple chat tabs, separated in order of frequency of use.

3.) I set the UI colors all to 50% and the transparancy to 95% and set the UI size to 82%

4.) I can not leave the tutorials without getting all badges, even if the alt is a throw away that I'll only keep for a day or two.

5.) Every IO salvage and IO recipe I sell at 1 inf. (except for PvP and Purples, which I craft and store in my base)

If I come across more, I'll post
