Quote:Norton tends to attract big businesses so I'm not surprised that's what the IT guy recommended. It's good for IT folks as it lets you do a lot of remote management stuff.Originally Posted by Prof_Backfire
Our IT guy reccomended Norton and my dad installed it, though I was skeptical since I've heard Norton is worse than some viruses. Is it still that bad?
But it's still a bloated piece of crap. I apparently it's gotten a bit better with norton 360/antivirus 2009, but you really can't go wrong with Avast, to be honest. -
Quote:Caves in general for me. Easier to see where I'm going in the small spaces without my character model in the way. Otherwise, I'm a camera zoomed out guy.Originally Posted by SpaceNut
I play in first person when I'm on a Kheldian in nova form in a cave - otherwise the camera zooms in and out so much that it's inside the effects half the time and I can't see where I'm going.

Gotta go with Shia this month. All sorts of little things hidden in that piece.
Lousy Day was my second choice -

Always been like this.

Quote:Yeah, I'd go this route if you want to solo with ice control. Ice is probably one of the lower damage sets and while ice/kin can do some good soloing, you really need to be level 32+ (and preferably level 38) before you really get going, solo speed wise.Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
If you want to solo with Ice Control, you might want to try an Ice/ Dominator instead of an Ice/ Controller. Dominators have damage instead of buff/debuffs for their secondary, which makes soloing with a low-damage primary like Ice Control quite a bit easier. Especially pre-pet.
It's a very rewarding character though, as long as you're not planning on soloing much. -
Quote:I think that would be contingent upon CoH itself (for windows) going 64-bit. I'm not a dev so I'm not professing any sort of inside knowledge or something like that. But this late in the game I'd consider an architecture change of that magnitude to be unlikely.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
It works perfectly. The new client is a little CPU heavy, but it performs great. I would love some clarification from Ghost Falcon or another dev on whether the CoH mac client has any future of going 64-bit.

Quote:Yeah. The broker will be a contact icon on the map. Alternatively, there's a broker/detective tab in your contacts window which should help you find the person you're supposed to be talking to.Originally Posted by Vrolok
You are totally awesome, thanks oodles. I assume that I can find the broker just by looking at the map.

Ah ok. Just checking.
Not sure if there's an easy way to switch between EU/US training rooms like you want. Especially on Mac since that involves it's own complications.
I'd let it just run out the download on it's own. Maybe CuppaManga knows something that'll help out.
You might be able to copy the files between the two apps, as detailed somewhat in the CoH Mac edition guide (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=143743) but...not sure what tells the client that it's a US or and EU client, so you might be resetting that bit too when you copy stuff over -
He needs a credit card/paypal/game card on file in order to play the game.
His card will not get charged until next month. The first month of gameplay is included in the game.
If he cancels his account before the first month us up, he won't get charged (except for the game purchase price) -
Question for you...you do have a North American account right? You can't play on North american servers unless you have a NA account. An EU account won't work on the US training room

Quote:Those aren't TFs in the traditional sense of the word though. They use roughly the same code, yes. But task forces/strike forces they are not.Originally Posted by Eric_Nelson
With the exception of Ouroboros TFs and AE content, of course.

Quote:If you disconnect on a task force, you're still counted as "on" the TF and therefore count as being on.Originally Posted by jacktar
Hello everybody,
After the STF DC I was still in and did rejoin my team. However I wondered what would have happened if it had been say a Posi TF, with just two of us doing it. Would my DC have ended the TF under the one player rule?
A TF will remain active as long as two people are on the team. Meaning, if you have an 8 man posi TF and 6 of those people hit the "quit task force button" the task force will continue as per usual. But if the 7th person hits the button, the task force disbands. -

<QR>
We had the 'Peoples Choice' awards for 2 (IIRC) years, which included favorite SG, most helpful poster various in game things (like favorite TF)
Not quite sure why they stopped with that (probably the Freem 15 thing)
Man, I miss pilcrow. -
Yeah, I missed the addition of assualt in the OP.
Assault works. Set bonuses...no. -
Quote:Yeah. I'm 99% sure that set bonuses only buff your damage and they don't get carried over to pets. Well, maybe with the exception of pet like entities...like the rain powers. But don't quote me on that one.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
IIRC, no.

I think the main problem is with your subject line.
"A little unfair?" has a lot of connotations attached to it. It makes it look like you feel you deserve something.
I'd totally agree, too. I'd love to see a hero planner for OS X. I thought about making one for a while, but I don't really have the time to spend on it at the moment... -

Not to mention, he added text to the signature below it, which makes it look even bigger, lol

Quote:I'm going to assume that because CoH and CoV are now the same, you can no longer apply a old standard CoH code and an old standard CoV code to the same account since doing so gets you no benefit.Originally Posted by SunGryphon
Now that I'm thinking about it, what about the regular CoH vs regular CoV editions? I'm really trying to figure out why I couldn't use a regular CoV on a couple of my accounts.

Quote:ATI video card and a widescreen display? Something in the X1### or X2### series, I suspect.Originally Posted by Dedlok
i'm running Vista 64-bit and no issues either (other than the cursor seems to get wonky when it's near the bottom of the enhancements screen)
That's a seperate ATI bug and happens regardless of OS version -
-
Quote:Vista WAS causing that to happen and everybody who ran vista needed to enable that setting manually. But a while ago, the devs coded it to detect vista and auto-enable that setting, so it's no longer necessaryOriginally Posted by Luminara
If Vista were causing that to happen, it would have been resolved a long time ago, or every Vista user would be required to have that flag in the shortcut. I don't have any flags in my shortcut, I'm certain that there are others who aren't using that flag, so that means it has to be something else. Mouse driver, the extra software bundled with the driver, a specific program running in the background... not the OS. If it were the OS, everyone running that OS would be having the problem, and that isn't the case.
The game runs on Vista without any more issues than anybody trying to run it on whatever OS would have. -
It could be slightly annoying if you're doing a task force, ex-ed down and your forgot to check how much time you had left on your raptor pack.
But it's quite doable. -
You might want to check to see if you have the most up to date video card drivers.
-
Pretty much as long as you don't have an integrated video card, any laptop you'd buy these days (excepting netbooks, but those usually have integrated video) can run CoH quite nicely.

Quote:More specifically, when they merged the EU and NA forums (not servers...servers and accounts are still separate), if there were two people with the same name, they appended an _EU or a _NA to the end of it until they could sort it out. Which they can now. Information at the previously mentioned link,Originally Posted by KithDPine
Yes you can. Info here http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...58#post2140458
The _NA is due to the forum mergers between the North American servers and the European Servers.
