  1. Postcount. Just postcount.
  2. VoodooGirl are you running antialiasing? Try futzing with that setting a bit, see what happens. That looks exactly like what I get when I turn on AA.

    Seconding this and adding that VirtueUnited, Virtue TFs 2010 and Virtuebadges09 are also wonderful channels filled with creamy goodness and quality people.

    I would probably advise everyone to use boards.cityofheroes.com from now rather than other domain names and Stevie that sorts you out.

    if you continue to have issues try it in a different browser like Opera just to see what happens there, should help to narrow things down.
    I want to use boards.cityofheroes.com but it keeps sending me to this coh103* thing It's messing up my Firefox Sync

    edit: Fixed! My partner apparently did something to my hosts file that was causing the issue. Now I am back on the boards.cityofheroes.com place! Hurray!
  5. I just started trying to troubleshoot my constantly being logged out of the forums and found that on one PC at home (Windows 7 64 bit) my browser is redirected to coh103.gtm.cityofheroes.com, no matter what browser I use. On my other PC, a laptop with Windows Vista 32 bit, I am allowed to go right to boards.cityofheroes.com without seeing that odd URL at all. What gives? On the PC with the coh103* thing, I've cleared cookies, flushed DNS cache, and sprinkled fresh chicken innards on a sand table to see what is augured thereby, with no results.
  6. Syndicate never struck me as that hard, but those damn Destroyers

    I sometimes yell SCRAPPER WINS* when I oneshot something with a crit, maybe that could float in big red letters above the mob so everyone sees it!

    *got the idea from someone on this forum years ago and now it won't leave my mind
  8. So my burn missiles should no longer scatter mobs? I can finally divorce myself from electric fences?
    edit: forgot about the big guy's KB
  9. Decided it was time to branch out from Virtue and moved some of my characters to Infinity and Champion.
  10. I'm posting everything for 6. This includes Oblit quads, LoTG +7.5%s, Numina's regen/recovery, everything. I figure I can afford to risk it, not that anything's sold for less than a decent rate. Try it!

    I'd be slotting one in Stamina too, for sure.

    Well I guess I will have to test it before my respec rather than after
  12. Similar question: if I slot a Performance Shifter proc in Conductive Aura, who is getting the bonus end, me or them?
  13. Nope, just logged him back in and there it was, one shiny Enhanced Day Trader Teleport charge! I just had to be more patient.
  14. Thanks, I will just be a little more patient then I assumed eight hours/overnight was sufficient.

  16. I love fighting Carnies on my db/da scrapper because they just kinda die and I don't even notice their silly little stunts. On my blaster, not so much. Honestly Carnies are way down on my hate list, below Tsoo and the reigning champion of "will drop mish on sight," the CoT.
  17. So I brought my mastermind over to blueside and worked him all the way to Hero alignment. I noticed that while my badge title changed from Marketeer to Day Trader, I can't earn any charges for the WW teleport power. I still have charges for both the normal and accelerated BM teleporter, which of course are no use to me. Is this a bug or WAI or is something else happening here?

    Why have a PROC 120 designed for travel powers that are now never going to get the 120 second over run?

    Why are there stealth IO's that only fit in toggle powers when a toggle is never going to use the 120 second duration part of the IO?

    Is TP the only travel power that you can add stealth to for more than the duration of the power activation?

    I will repeat I amnot against the change, I just don't understand the need to have a 120 second PROC that never PROC's. Am I alone in thinking it is redundant, or am I missing some part of the information? Why not change the IO to a standard PROC?
    Well, the runspeed and jumping stealth IOs can go in a few clicks too, speed boost, inertial reduction, accelerate metabolism can all take the stealth IOs, might be more, it's pretty early for me to be doing any thinking here

    Sorry to hear that you had such a miserable experience. Paypal has a bit of a reputation for being troublesome to deal with, and especially so when they get the idea that fraud might be involved somewhere. As far as your concern about a profile on you, I have had similar things happen with online banking or shopping with a credit card. They just get a little weirded out when folks make dozens of purchases from the same IP address/physical location and suddenly make a purchase across the country, or similar. Once i had to reset my IP address on my cable modem; what a pain in the *** that was for a week or two while I convinced all these money-related companies that I was still me.

    To answer the quoted question, your accounts were likely banned because Paypal alerted the merchant (NCSoft) that fraud may have occurred, so they locked the accounts while the investigation happened. Glad everything worked out in the end!

Id pick shield unless sr has a higher softcap and even then, I love aoe so id prolly still go shield.
    Soft cap for defense is 45% no matter what set you use. Some just have an easier time getting there.
  21. Found myself saying "**** yes that is crap" more than once, specifically about the mobs fleeing and the same-ol' same-ol' mission tilesets. It's a great game but even after six years there are silly design choices and limitations like these that still irritate. Would it really be that bad to limit fleeing? Could we move the intern who is running roughshod over the UI design to making new mission maps or even just new textures for the existing ones?

    Overall the review was a good one(meaning that it was informative and useful to a new player) and it was favourable to the game. I think the designers/devs would do well to listen to reviews like this and consider what is said in them when they are clinging to some of the weaker design decisions in the game.

    Sorry to hear you are doing it wrong.

    Do you notice that except for this new expansion NOBODY PLAYS THIS GAME!
    I've been queued to get in a couple nights now, and there are servers hitting yellow (and red) that haven't been out of the green for literally years. Logging on to some of the quieter servers has shown me that there are a ton of people playing in the old world and enjoying swapping sides, running tips, and having fun. Tell me more about how nobody is playing this game.

    This is a terrible game as far as balance and playability for at least 60% of the power/class combo's.
    And yet when the devs attempt to correct some minor imbalance, people get so infuriated that they can barely choke back their tears of nerdrage long enough type out a vitriolic rant. What do you think balance means?

    Brutes were one of the things "not horrid" about City of Heroes and here you all sit celebrating their descent into "horrid".
    What's horrid about brutes? I'm not even noticing the change. Literally not noticing it, on any character including a new brute. I'd bet there are a lot of folks who don't read the forums who haven't noticed it either.

    I know, right? It's almost like they just released a major expansion with a lot of things that people have wanted for years!

    Old games designed during the Great Depressions are impossible to play
    Did you actually right click and choose Run As Administrator or did you just uninstall and try the same thing that didn't work last time? Also, cancelling your account over Mids seems silly given that you don't need it to play and it's not a part of the game.
  25. Adding my name to the pile of thankyous here. You've treated us great Ston3y and been quite patient with us all as we clamored for updates and such; you've definitely earned a break.
