Tbh, they look a trusted site to me, and although I can't confirm they're right, I think so.

You read it on the internet, so it MUST be true, right?

By that logic, the nuts at the Fossil Museum site are clearly right too...

So... Just the actual rules of the forum then?

Mind you... I'd like to know who you know what the forums were like in the beginning, seeing as you weren't on them back then.

Cara glanced at the window, now covered in an armoured shutter, as Ryan's voice came over the commlinks. Sighing in exasperation, she muttered under her breath. "Great, now as well as being stuck in math, I can't stare out the window either!"

Groaning quietly, she looked back down at her textbook; she -hated- calculus...

Eloise doubled over in the lobby, near her partner Storm Sapphire, as the noxious vapour hit her highly sensitive nose. A faint whimper escaped her lips as, with the force of a delivery truck, a pounding headache slammed into the back of her head. A second later she passed out.

*************************

Thousands of miles away, on the tropical paradise that was Rolando Island, Ellie looked up from her drawing board as the alert came in over the comms link. Immediately pushing herself away from the desk, she tapped the side of the slim collar about her neck and her armour began to expand, covering her slim body. Less than 5 seconds later there was a bright flash as she initiated a long range teleport, heading for Unity Plaza.

CoH is known to not always play nice with SLi configurations, so try disabling it. Also, that Aegia card... Latest nVidia drivers include PhysX for the 8800 series cards, so that PhysX one MIGHT be clashing with the 8800 PhysX. Try removing it and see if that helps.

No way! It's comfy in here! There's a wide screen TV, a fridge, a leather sofa... Everything I need!

I would have thought with all the known and outstanding bugs though there would be very little downtime?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that all depends on the developer, doesn't it? Someone like Jay can't exactly fix something like the tell bug, can he? So he might as well design some more costume pieces instead...

I can't imagine many of them will want Ed quite as much as the Unity Vigil do! After all, we took him in, gave him a chance to show he'd turned over a new leaf, and he turned bad on us. We want him BAD!

[ QUOTE ]
I really get this gut feeling they are keeping something big hidden from us, something that's not been mentioned by the devs, the mods, etc. Something that will make people go "woooaahhhhhh!!!!"


[/ QUOTE ]

Oh they are. It's called a paid for expansion with new AT's, zones, game mechanics, power customization, graphics upgrade...

Of course, I can't really give you details of what and when, as then I'd have to shoot you, and that wouldn't be very nice.

Sorry, I was being more general rather than saying you yourself, Damz.

I would say that if you send an invite to someone with nothing in the search comment box and a LFT flag showing. Then the recipient has no right to hurl abuse at the sender.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would say that you have no right to hurl abuse at ANY one, for ANY reason, actually. Provocation is irrelevant when it comes to hurling abuse about. If the recipient complained to the GM's, who do you think will get the ban?

Looks like its confirmed that i14 is purely MA with a few QOL changes thrown in if you ask me.


[/ QUOTE ]

You're reading WAY too much into what BaB said if you infer all the other stuff is just going to be QoL changes. Sure, it's going to be light on a LOT of other stuff, but there will be other stuff beyond just QoL changes and bug fixes.

As BaB said, people are going to say "WTH!?", that's to be expected because they don't bother to consider the massive amount of work that's gone in to the MA. People not interested in that are going to complain, which isn't too surprising in this modern culture of instant gratification. Well, you know what? There have been issues released that have held zero for ME, yet I've not complained about it.

Free issues are just that, free. You don't get to complain about stuff that's free.

Also, did anyone notice GR's post? That it was Palladium being a better choice for L2? Ergo, we may well get a new guy/gal in for the EU english boards.


[/ QUOTE ]
More than just that - GR went on to say:
[ QUOTE ]

It's a fantastic opportunity for him


[/ QUOTE ]
Was NC really to deny Palladium the chance to apply for a fantastic opportunity for him? Are the posters really saying Palladium should pass on chances to advance his career?

Hope not.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm certainly not, good luck to the guy! I was just asking what was actually going on, seeing as, at least on the English forum, nothing had been mentioned about him going and GR now being on his own...

... Moving on from a potentially developing row...

Taurus and the rest leaving, have fun in whatever you decide to do. I do feel most of what you express is mostly down to being burned out on the game and being bored with it, it's quite possible after playing for so long. Hell, *I* burned out on it about 2 years ago and had 6 or 7 months of pretty much not playing, though I stuck around on the forums.

Enjoy your break, even if it's permanent. Perhaps we'll butt heads in the future.

No longer shall my villain's battle cry be "FREEEEM!"

From now on, it's "SSSSSHHHHOOOOEEEEESSSSSS!!!"

Exactly. Thank you Bluedarky. It's nice to see there are SOME people here who can see subtle!

I've got some minor problems with the user interface, especially the Options menus. The screen resolution snaps back to 1024x768 every time you try to change it, with the message "You must log out before these changes will be applied" -- but if you do log out at that point, the changes won't be made! The only way I could get the screen resolution to change was to select a new resolution then immediately log out *without* applying the changes; when I restarted the client, I found it using the resolution I had selected-but-not-applied. This has been a problem since the beta, for me, but it apparently hasn't gone anywhere.


[/ QUOTE ]

This sounds like the long standing "feature" in the game client overall.

What you need to do is select the resolution, then click apply and OK the dialog. You'll note the resolution changes in the menu. Change it back AGAIN, then log out without clicking apply, and it should work correctly.

To be fair, you can't expect an EU user to know when the US have their maintenance window...

[ QUOTE ]
Which would be silly. Get Mac Boxes out, send to Apple Stores.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. Mac users have precious few retail games they CAN play, and one of them is WoW, which has a Mac box. NC *need* to get CoH for Mac in boxes, and in the Apple stores.

It seems fairly clear to me that CoH EU is no longer pulling in enough money to justify 2 full time forum mods, so they've re-tasked one of them to a more profitable game to justify his wages; which is good for Palladium, as it means his job doesn't vanish, but it's not exactly a good sign for us, is it?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's far more accurate to say that Palladium is the most knowledgable person over here when it comes to L2, and when the position came available he snapped it up. It's a fantastic opportunity for him and it really shouldn't be read as an abandonment of the FR community at all.

The new year is looking very good for CoH. We've seen an upswing in server populations, and the Mac launch has gone very smoothly.

[/ QUOTE ]

So does that mean that the French players are going to be getting a replacement mod? Will the Germans eventually get Kerensky replaced after that stupid 6 month regulation is up?

[ QUOTE ]

Has hell frozen over? Will all the people that said they would leave if this happened leave? There is room on the coat rack guys please shut the door on the way out

[/ QUOTE ]

IF it happens, and IF I lose my character names, I'll stand by what I said I'd do.

Please don't turn this into a "Merge teh servers!" thread, folks, that's not what it's here for. I just want to work out what's going on!

I've decried the doom mongerers in the past, and I flatly refuse to take up their banner now, but with the German and now the French player community members being effectively abandoned, it's getting harder to deny that a merger is on the cards...

Thing is, as soon as they're out of sight, some will jump on a team of 7 level 50's, and have those badges in next to no time...

I just read this in the training room forum...

[ QUOTE ]

Before anyone goes crazy: this isn't factually correct. Palladium is transitioning to a new role working on Lineage II. As such, for the time being, I'm on my own for CoH community. That does not mean, however, that I'm the only EU employee working on CoH. We still have a full cross section of support staff including QA and Production.

Just what on Earth is going on with EU CoH? It seems that French players have now been abandoned just like the Germans were. I don't know about anyone else, but this concerns me greatly...

Right now, any answers we could give you would be pure conjecture as they've not told us many facts about it yet.

AFAIK, all that is known is.

* All maps in the game are usable. No user created map (for now at least)
* You cannot place spawns at user settable locations (way too exploitable)
* You can design your own boss, both appearance and power sets. Odds are though, is that all you'll be able to do is select a primary and secondary from a menu.
* You can create your own contacts, and can even use yourself as a contact.
* You will get mob XP from the missions, but no mission bonus XP.

As for your points, here's my thoughts.

1. See above
2. Possible, but I don't we'll get any scripting control
3. It would be nice, but it would also be very complicated to achieve, and very unlikely. They MIGHT give us a menu of preset temp powers that only work in the mission, though.
4. Again, see above. There will be no mission rewards or badges as far as is known.
5. I think this will be FAR too exploitable. Expect IO's to stay as random mob drops.
