I work too, and don't get home before the patch is done. Surely you've seen the forum posts for releases though?

Why 5/6pm? wouldn't it go live as soon as the maintenace patch was applied?
[/ QUOTE ]
You've been here for plenty of Issue releases in the past, Sugars so you should know by now that they're done by the US devs themselves, not the usual maintenance crew. They start them quite early their time, which makes it usually about 1-2pm our time, and it takes about 4 hours. Hence 5-6pm completion time here. -
Gods yes... The bounding boxes are WAY too big, and when you kneel down, your pivot point is about a foot in front of your knees!
I'd rather have no collision, like in WoW, than how it is in here... -
... I can see blood being drawn in the queue...

Seeing as I'm almost, almost there with my first ever 50 (Carnal Sin is 46), will these changes make getting a Kheldian a more giggleworthy event? Reading the first page suggested to me that it would be fun to run a Human/Dwarf Peacebringer, running around in human form and generally splatting stuff, switching to Dwarf when it gets a bit hairy or to whittle down the tough groups a bit (mashing the status effect spammers no doubt) before the humanform SMASH!
And don't talk to me about the Nova. It's ugly, I don't want to be a floating blob of goo.

Yeah, but it's a floating blob of goo that can make the toughest of bad guys cry for their mommies!

It'll probably be a case of diminishing returns though. It's a previous generation engine and frankly, doesn't seem to be the most efficient one going either. We start cramming on new graphical doodads and it'll shove requirements up faster than what we get for it.
[/ QUOTE ]
We've actually been told the current engine can do way more than we get, but doesn't due to worries over performance hits. Perhaps it just needs a bit of optimization... -
[ QUOTE ]
And now the Devs say they have been holding back on just what the engine is capable of, maybe if they let rip with the current game-engine features It'll keep the wolves from the door for a year or two with regard to the mounting requests for an engine overhaul or redux.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm not too worried about a new graphics engine per se.... What we DO need, is better character MODELS. The current ones just... Suck.
Oh, and better faces too plx!

He suggests it so much, that makes three times he's posted it.

Meh... I've given up trying to delete the dupes... I can't be bothered to spend 10 minutes looking at a busy mousepointer whilst the forum decides if it's going to time out or not... -
I suggest everyone keeps the first Tuesday (or possibly Thursday) after Thanksgiving free.

I didn't particularly think they would either, but I did think they'd try and have it live before the US Thanksgiving holidays sometime.
[/ QUOTE ]
At first, I thought they'd release by the 27th... Then I remembered it was Thanksgiving and KNEW they wouldn't. Winter event starts on December 18th IIRC, so you can bet i13 will likely go live within 2 weeks; probably less.
In fact, keep the Tuesday after Thanksgiving free.

Just out of interest, why do people think that NCW would time the release to go with Wrath?
[/ QUOTE ]
I certainly didn't.. Such an attempt would be pointless and doomed to fail to compete from the start. I'm pretty sure NC knew that too... -

I give everyone my most solemn promise, on my childrens' lives, I will NEVER EVER turn up at a player meet, exhibition, or anything ELSE for that matter, dressed up as Ellie (or anyone else).
[/ QUOTE ]
Unless, of course, they ever do a Dune MMO. Then you really have to cosplay it...
[/ QUOTE ]
I dunno... Have you any idea just how expensive ankle length leather coats, in red, ARE in my size?

Zee link is borked FFM.
Although this may be a good thing, I suspect

Fixed... This forum censor seems to affect url names too.. f.ugly got censored... -

I do not cosplay. There will be no Sailor Bubba from me. I guarantee.

...and I'd also love to see actual rendered cut-scenes with voice-overs
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm against V/Os mostly, if only that downloading a chunky sound file for every single cut scene and incident is going to make patch time seem like an eternity
[/ QUOTE ]
Not with modern compression techniques! You can easily fit an hour or so of good quality conversation into 15 or so meg these days. Barely enough to even notice, these days... -

can you please host it somewhere like leeds or shefeild...or even grimsby/cleethorpes (where sindrone livs)
also is there any pictures of last years player meet?
[/ QUOTE ]
The venue needs to be somewhere large, and somewhere central for as many people as possible.
As for pics, there sure are! Scroll the main forum list all the way to the bottom, and you'll find the (now locked) Omega Sektor subform for your reading pleasure. Loads of pics can be found in there. -

and then they seem to wonder why we shut down for the week over Christmas. Hey ho.
[/ QUOTE ]
We do? Hmm.. I guess someone forgot to tell the shops that...

[ QUOTE ]
how do you know who is who, and with all the nc soft games there wont it be hard to fish out city of hero players?
[/ QUOTE ]
ROFL. No... No, it won't be hard to spot them at all... Trust me.
Just find the NC Soft stand... CoH players will be obvious.

I thought the bot that was run was able to undo all of Eric's changes?

Regarding power customisation, in the current engine it was said it was impossible, or very difficult to do at very least, but on my friends american version of the game he has colour change already via mods.
He has green energy blasts etc that he said he found somewhere on the net, thing is, surely if an illegal mod site can do it the original game developers can?
[/ QUOTE ]
Because his is a slimy hack that only HE can see, everyone else sees the proper colours. -
Awesome pic, CatKeeper. Very well done.

"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes Test Server\CovUpdater.EU.exe" -test
that's ok right?
The only thing i can think of is i didn't name the test folder what it tells ya to, i called mine city of heroes test.
Should i try renaming it to CohTest then
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, because that's what it's supposed to be called. The test server should be named exactly as the instructions tell you to name it.
