    An HOUR to level 5? I thought sewer teams were meant to be fast levelling?

    I can hit level 5 just with street sweeping in WAY less than an hour...

    That's an easy one to answer. They'd call him an infidel, cut is head off, then go out and blow up another bus/plane/marketplace/whatever.

    The forum software works like a dream for me though, I'd guess your work connection set-up might be causing problems with it.
    I'm stuck with IE7 at work (corporate rules), and TBH, never really taken to Firefox or Opera at home (Last time I tried to use Opera it was unable to see my internet connection at all! ), so I use IE8 there.

    My work internet connection got changed a little while ago, doesn't route though Finland over the Intranet anymore, it's handled locally now. I still get some timeouts though, not to mention the silly boards constantly logging me off when I access from a different PC, or threads getting marked read on their own, or clicking the "Last read post" button taking me to a post I read 2 days before...

In rp terms, I kept getting accused of being female until I actually mentioned I was male/posted on the forums with this name admitting the characters were mine (pre-totalcat.)

    To be fair, it's more an aesthetic choice than a psychosocial one. I don't think "must only create female characters," it just kind of happens.
    ^ This. I'm pretty much the same. I have a few male characters, but the animations and costume options are so much better for female avatars... The male's run like they're trying to hold something between their butt cheeks...

    Is it just me?

    I don't feel quite as at home as I used to on the new boards, and no longer read or post anywhere near as much as I did. I don't think it's the larger community though; it's the horrible colour scheme, and the crappy vBulletin software that seems more buggy than UBB was!

    At least I keep her away from plots these days! She's just for social RP nowadays...
  8. My main, Tiger White, has faced many moral dilemmas in her past, and she'd side with Professor X on this issue. Plus, being somewhat impulsive, and SOMETIMES has a similar view on things as Wolverine (she once slaughtered 100's of Council soldiers in a big RP plot after a very close friend was killed), I wouldn't give Facade's chances much on making it out of the Prof's office with his head still on his shoulders.

    She's also somewhat overpowered, like Facade is (as Ravenswing will no doubt confirm! ), and I've been accused of making her a Mary Sue in the past when the angst levels were getting silly, so I tend to keep her WELL away from any plot these days.

    You know, they were online at 4:43, when I logged in.
  16. Dunno about the US, but the UK servers have been back and fully operational for about half an hour now.

    Windows 7

    It'll work fine right up until you have a patch download. Then it might suddenly stop working fine.
  18. I was going to poke a little fun at first, seeing as I've had H1N1 and whilst it was annoying, it wasn't really any worse than normal flu. Then I read Posi also has suspected bronchitis and changed my mind.

    H1N1 isn't what makes you really sick, having something ELSE at the same time does. Get well soon Posi (and the others)! And keep warm!

    Windows 7

    Are you attempting to run CoH within a system folder, such as \Program Files\? If so, do not, as it will NOT work. In Windows 7, Program Files is sandboxed. Any downloads a program installed in there tries will go to a virtual folder, and the game will not be able to access it properly, especially after closing and program.

    Install it elsewhere and it'll work fine.

    We really have no indicator that the people underneath the robes are male OR female. They're pretty genderless really, except for the mage's at least.

    Only asking since, well, it has been seven years now. And there are, you know, thousands of you. Just in that one city. Thought you might have been helping sort that little mess out.
    You need to take that up with city planning and the various construction companies, not the heroes.

    I think the people at MAGI can answer that question for you. I don't deal in magic.

    That'll be Parks and Open Spaces. Third on your left at City Hall.

    Yes, with those quaint little buildings and giant novelty doughnut you hardly even notice that huge, deep, chasm.
    You must not hear very well. That's City Planning. 2 doors down from the Parks & Open Spaces department in city hall.

    Now, if you want a HERO, we're down at the Police HQ, filling out yet another stupid arrest report and trying not to get sued by some jerkoff crook with a glass jaw.

    ****** beauracracy!

    Without Arachnos, you'd still be rotting in the Zig, where a hero put you.

    If that's the case, then can you explain why the number of heroes players hugely outnumbers the number of villains?

    I'll quite often get a little vertical line appearing in my AH slots when trying to drop things in there.. When that happens, I'll have to put it back in my tray and try again as it won't accept it... I guess, lagged off the AH server.
