That always seems to happen to me on that map and on one other (its a specific lab map). I bug it when it happens.

/k or /kick kicks a player from team

/team_kick_internal kicks player without warning

[/ QUOTE ]

even if they are "offline"?

edit: nope doesn't work when they are offline

[/ QUOTE ] It has worked for me plenty of times while they are offline. All I did was scroll up the chat to find their name somewhere and copy/paste it after "/kick ".

The dialog comes up asking me if I really want to kick them from the team.. they wont be able to rejoin.. blah blah, and I press yes. The spawns seem to adjust to the new team size just fine.

I admit there have been a few times when it didn't work. We've finished the mission and saw a kicked player outside the door or talking in broadcast later on.. which means it worked. But there have been a few times when a kicked player signs back in, and they are still on the team. It's not that hard to quickly kick them again though. I can't explain what's different about any two occurances to make it work or not work.

I wouldn't be surprised if

1) They are ghiding and online
[u]or[u]
2) If they DC'd, the server thinks they're still online

And BTW, have you tried verifying files (button on the updater UI)?

Also try to disable as much extraneous crap as you can using msconfig (I see that you are using it already, I just don't know how aggressively).

This is what I planned on saying before the upgrade stuff, I just got distracted.

With integrated graphics you're not going to get great results no matter what. Also you have 2 Gbs of memory.

It looks like those are the newest Intel video drivers.

If you can spend a little bit of money, get yourself an actual video card, I'm thinking something like this. I don't know the specs on your power supply, this is a mid range card with relatively low power requirements so I think it will work. You might want to contact HP Support for info on your PS (or crack the case yourself and look).

Hopefully you'll hear from someone else with more advice soon™.

The most fun powerset is the one used by whatever character I log into. If I don't find it fun, I delete the character. Some days I feel like scrapping, but my exact mood determines which scrapper will be the most fun for me. Other days I want to defend or corrupt, another day I might want to tank.

Take ANY combination of anything in the game and there is SOMEONE who finds it the most fun thing in the game.

Do the NPCs watching TV change from time to time? When I ran some TV missions on Saturday I could swear the Crey woman sitting on the ground with her legs crossed was wearing a skirt.

They respawn periodically, so yes.

BTW, some (maybe all) summoned mobs have a base 75% chance to hit, not 50%. For example the gun drones are 75%.

The henchman that are summoned by the custom MM's are the same as ours so 75% base.

Take a look at what Falcon Northwest is building and use that as a basis for your new rig.

Or you can drop a few G's on them and they can build it for you.

In Faultline:

Headman Swordsman: TODO: Add Text

Laughed out loud. Either War Witch forgot to add someone's dialogue, or it's a clever tongue-in-cheek.

[/ QUOTE ]

They occasionally forget to replace the place holders with actual text. Remember the Activist who stands outside City Hall in Atlas?

[NPC] Activist: Hey, this one only says 'TODO: Add Text'. Who printed this?! Take it anyway! I gotta get rid of them!



And on a side note, overheard in Kings Row:

[NPC] Bone Daddy: This shop made my quota this week!
[NPC] Bone Daddy: I'm gonna do a B&E on your face!
[NPC] Bone Daddy: Wait, that sounded wrong.

I went over to Virtue and took a look.

I'm going to take a shower now.

*sigh*

Mike, have you done any hardware testing at all? I don't see it mentioned anywhere and since we don't see an obvious software issue from the CoHHelper or HijackThis it might be a good idea to do some hardware tests.

Temp monitor

Bench tester for the GPU

Memory tester

Stress tester for your system

All of these were cribbed from Mid_Forever's post in Zloth's ++ Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines ++ sticky.

Important safety tip: Never EVER use an airborne travel power on a Mayhem map. Keep your feet on the ground at all times.

The Longbow ambushes show up because there are invisible "trip wire" spots around the map that spawn them. When you approach them, an ambush is created.

These spawns points exist in the air as well. If you fly or superjump over to the bank, you get a ginormous number of flying Longbow spawned, in addition to any others. If you keep your feet on the ground, you don't get the flying spawns.

[/ QUOTE ]

The trip wire is no lower than the 2nd story of the building - so if you do fly, keep low. But the Longbow eagle trip lines are more plentiful than the normal longbow trip lines.

[/ QUOTE ]

Safety note, just using Combat Jumping you may hit one of these tripwires, especially if your leaping off of trucks or cars.

A Shield tank with One with the Shield up can also cap HP. Its not a self heal like Dull Pain unfortunately, but for 2 min. out of every 6 you can cap your HP.

As a side note, there's a pond in Grandville that lets you do this, that's older than Cimerora. West wall. Only clear pond around.

NoScript

If you are using Firefox this is the best add-on you can have to help prevent mal-ware. It prevents scripts from running until YOU tell NoScript they are safe to run. But that is to prevent future problems.

What you need right now though is HijackThis, to tell you what is running. You can post it here to get some assistance in figuring out what to do also.

Good luck.

NCSoft Support

Click on the Ask a Question tab. You can ask your question and you'll create your Support Account at that point.

Note, your support account login and password are different from your master account. (And your master account with NCSoft could, some would say should, have a different login ID and password than the game.)

Looks like you have 32 bit Vista, try installing the Catalyst drivers for 32 bit Vista.

•• This lock will not take place on the first level of “complaint banning”, where an arc has received a larger number of complaints. Players will still have a chance to fix the arc.

[/ QUOTE ]

This implies to me that the ban will only occur after a CS person has actually examined the arc. I hope that this is a true statement, and that all the bans will have an actual person behind them making that decision.

[local]XXXXXXX: 8 stone tank invince Qfield, and only allowed to gank things using stacked mudpots, and no travel power settings.

[local]YYYYYYY: that would take... well, longer than i have left on my yearly subscription to this game

I don't have and haven't tried, but I'd thought I'd point you to this, a review of an Asus N10 netbook.

This is probably the closest thing to a CoX capable netbook, but I don't have high hopes for it.

Sometimes after zoning, I'll see my auto-fire power sitting there recharged with that loverly green circle around it and it won't activate.

If I manually hit the button it will fire, and the auto-fire will work properly until I zone. Then there is a small chance that auto-fire will freeze again until manually re-started.

Is this what you are seeing Sharker?

I'm using Vista 64 and ALchemy and am not having any problems with it.

Might try posting a CoHHelper report and a HijackThis log. That way we'll have a better idea of what's going on and may be able to help you.

Fantastic Bode!

You can also change your graphics settings without running the game. TweakCoH was developed by Circeus and it is a very useful tool.
Thank you again Circeus for your work.
