Quote:I just experienced this with an alt character. However, I used the Ouroboros Portal earlier in the test with a copy of my main and did not experience the lock up then.Originally Posted by Zerlina
Not sure if this is just an issue with so many flocking to test to see the halloween event or an actual bug but have been experiencing the following
When using Ouroboros portal on finishing zoning my character becomes stuck. I can not move, and typing /stuck /synch etc does nothing. I can see chat going on around me and others are moving around fine. I was able to get invite to a team but was unable to be tped by teammate the power activated but I didnt recieve prompt to accept.
After a few mintes I am booted from the server and have to verify files before logging in
If it matters, I was in Pocket-D when I clicked the Ouroboros Portal Button, immediately after login.
EDIT: I just repeated it with both characters and neither one experienced the lockup this time. -
Quote:As specific info on this, I used a Power Analyzer Mk III on a banner. It had 15% Res to all, 47,000+ HP, and 200+ Hp/sec Regen. (I didn't think to get a screenshot =p.) So yeah, it's outside the "soloable" envelope for most characters; not considering Shivans/Nukes/Heavies/etc.Originally Posted by NightshadeLegree
Negatives - Judging from the difficulty one group of 6 or 8 50s I was part of had in taking down one banner, this event is going to be pretty hard for low-pop servers, especially off peak hours. At least if the Rikti attack Port Oakes and my level 9 stalker is the only villain in the zone I can score a few kills towards the Rikti Invasion badges - minions at least.
I don't have much problem with that design, but those are the numbers.
EDIT: Aaaaaand I've mapservered again =p. -
Quote:There was at least one new Warwolf EB that I saw at the Mayhem banner. Also a Shivan EB; not "new" but it's the first we've been able to fight them.Originally Posted by Azrhiaz
I dunno. Call me a whiner, but for such a unique event, I would have expected/liked to see some newly designed characters, not recycled ones.
The event wasn't really clear to me but I like the entire zone nature of it. -
Just now in Grandville, rubber banding reached unplayable levels for me and chat lag was about 1 minute. Netgraph Screenshot here.
-
The text for Spectral Touch (Def: smash, lethal, melee; Res: Toxic) doesn't agree with it's detailed info (+3.25% Def To All; 6.5% Resistance to Negative Energy).

Able to log back into Mercy again.

Quote:For me, the banner icons on the MiniMap disappeared too quickly. I would fight at one banner, then go looking for the others and the colored dots would no longer be on the Minimap. I found the others through homing in on teammates and just flat remembering where they were the first time I looked.Originally Posted by TheOcho
- Are objectives clear when the Event is running?
- Do banner icons appear correctly on the MiniMap when the event is running?
- Do waypoints correctly appear when the event is running? (Note: Navigation waypoints of active Missions orient players to the Halloween Event objectives when a playerÂ’s character is near one, and should disappear when they leave the area.)
While ToTing, enemies in Grandeville spawned at larger than single-player team size and lv53. I love this <3! Love it <3! ToT spawns are now something of a threat rather than a boring and monotonous series of button presses. Last year I was able to hunt all of the Costume temps by going door to door, ignoring any Trick spawns, and trailing dozens of Halloween mobs behind me like the world's scariest navigation hazard =p. I was in zero danger from them because they were so weak.
The higher difficulty also gives incentive to team while candy-hunting, which was absent last year ^_^.
I was not able to confirm that it spawns at +level in any lower-level zone before I mapservered and was unable to reconnect.
I would really like at least a snippet of backstory connected to this new event. Aside from *what* I'm supposed to do in the new zone events, I have no idea *why* I'm supposed to do them. All of the enemies had their original Info biography. I checked info for the banners and it just said 'no one knows why these are here...' (paraphrasing).
The first year of the Halloween event was at least blamed on the Malleus Mundi and the arrival of Croatoa. These "disturbances" have occurred every year (save for '05) and gotten more intense each time. Has *no one* among the NPCs done any research into what's causing this? No premonitions or portents?
"Something" is trying to get in. What manner of creature/force/organization/whatsis is it and why is it trying to get-in/break-out? Why are all these monsters summoned-by/created-by the banners and why do they result in something called an "Aspect"?
I would suggest adding at least vague clues to the Banner Info text; a different one for each. Read all four and you get some hint to what might be going on and what it may/may not relate to in the larger CoX backstory (Malleus Mundi again? Rularuu? Croatoa? Banished Pantheon? Something new? Bueller?). Information like that would be better than "you don't know what it is, but you need to kill it in ten minutes". -
Test Server fa' down go boom? O.o
Or is it just me? <.< -
Quote:Thought of that too, did you?Originally Posted by Lothic
I always wondered when the Devs were going to pull a Colonel Nicholson and blow the PL bridge in this game. Better late than never I guess...
And if you'll recall, Colonel Nicholson had to build it first, then say "what have I done" before destroying the Bridge. -

hi I just downloaded the trial, when I log in and start to create a character the lower half of the screen(from the legs down) stays on the screen where you pick you char's build.
i went on and finished my char out hoping that the problem would go away once I entered the game, but it didnt, that same blue background screen stays up. I can see all the menus and chatboxs though.
I ran the updater again to check the files and all were verified. any suggustions?

The best suggestion I can give you is to head over the Technical Issues & Bugs section. However, these forums are going to shut down for heavy-maintenance in just a few hours, so you might not have time to get the in-depth answer they would give you.
Off the top of my head, I'd check to see how recent your Graphics Drivers are. You can get the most recent drivers from the card's designer (likely either Nvidia or ATI) and install them.
Sorry to have such an annoying problem come up at disjointed time. There will be people here more than happy to answer your question when the forums come back up....after up to 72 hrs

Ok, I looked for this in the announcements sections and didn't see any breaking news on this. Do we exactly when this is going to happen?
[/ QUOTE ]
(Just in case you're not joking.) It's the top link on most pages. "Migration to new message boards". It's scheduled to take place in a few hours.
You have that much time to archive any PMs you want to save that are more than two years old.

If you feel like waiting, you can type: /petition Stuck in mission
That will let you put in a petition for help from a Game Monitor. They're usually pretty quick around here; 10 minutes wait on average.
More immediately, you can go-back-to/call whatever source originally gave you the mission and select "drop the current mission from this contact" at the bottom of the dialogue window. That will complete the mission and give you the mission-completion rewards (but not the ones for defeating enemies in the mission) as if everything had gone normally. You can use the option to drop a mission once every three days. There are a few missions like timed ones and Badge missions that can't be dropped. -

I myself just picked up every version I was missing on both of my accounts for 65 bucks. 28 of which was the City of Heroes Collector's DVD Edition.
[/ QUOTE ]
Quite the little coup finding that. I thought they were all gone when they stopped selling the goody-packs for it (which is where I got mine), but even Amazon only has about 10 left. -
[ QUOTE ]
so I made me a fire wielding,stone armored mutated brute
I seem pretty tough. is that a good build. it would be a bummer too find out my guys sucks. after hitting lvl 20
[/ QUOTE ]
It's not a bad combination, but /Stone Armor isn't for everyone. It has hefty Movement self-debuffs and many people (myself included) do not have the patience to put up with it. Also, the capstone power to the set (not to make a pun) over-writes your appearance when its on and some people don't like that either. If you find that either is true for you, don't feel bad about trying another combination

Do non damaging attacks like Twighlight Grasp or the temp extinguisher power make her submerge? Squirting her with a giant water hose seems to be fairly humane.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, non-damaging attacks don't make her submerge. One of my favorite things to do on my gravity troller is to use Wormhole to teleport her onto land. It's a challenge to see if I can get her to the middle of town before somebody hits her
[/ QUOTE ]I think they made her immune to teleport a while back, because people would use TP Foe to get her onto land. I've got a screenshot somewhere of her swimming through a basketball court.

Pics or it didn't happen. -

If Drea was assigned to you as your Broker for Port Oakes, they should have given you the "Newspaper" contact under your Contacts. Do a few missions from the Newspaper, Drea will want to talk to you and offer you a special "Mayhem" mission (robbing a bank in Paragon). Once you do that, you'll have a choice of contacts and can alternately do it all again if you like.
[/ QUOTE ]
The Mayhems are lots of fun, but can be a little complicated the first few times through. It's not necessary, but you might see if anyone is around that would like to come with you to explain things for your Mayhem.
Successfully completing your first lv5-9 Mayhem will get you a Temp Travel Power good for 2 hrs of Flight time (Once it's gone though, it can't be reaquired). Successfully completing your first lv10-14 Mayhem will get you a Temp Travel Power good for 2 hrs of Super Jump time (again, not reaquirable). Those two Temps should tide you over until the Travel Powers open up at lv14. -

Edit: When is Issue 16 coming out? I didn't see any information on the date.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's because we don't have one. Issue 16 is still "in development", which means anything could crop up that needs more time to work out. After the Devs get it roughly pushed into shape, the Issue goes into Beta where players get to debug, comment on, and generally assist with the development of the issue. (Yeah, our Devs *listen* to the players; don't tell anyone. I think the other Development houses might ostracize Paragon Studios if they knew.) The Beta period can also be a flexible time period, but generally lasts anywhere from three weeks to a month and a half.
Then everyone gets the free issue. -

hi.
if you dont like the way your toon turns out, can you respec him.
and how do you get this too run in windowed mode..
thanks
[/ QUOTE ]
btw, another no-cost, little-effort way to "respec" your toon is simple to go to any trainer and take advantage of the alternate build you're allowed.
[/ QUOTE ]
The real crime is that it took a whole six minutes for someone to mention this tidbit. -

Hey. I played this game about 1.5 years ago for a while and quit. Now I am thinking of returning but I am looking for a server with the highest population, where there are at least people on all the time. Thanks in advance!
[/ QUOTE ]
Freedom has the highest population on both sides. Virtue comes second and is still the unofficial roleplaying server. -
[ QUOTE ]
Ah. Well there goes my plan for Mars Girl D=
Thanks for the heads up.
[/ QUOTE ]
There are lots of starbursts and planet symbols. You might see if one of those will suffice. -
You can get the anti-Kheldian gun as a persistent Temp Power by doing Psymon Omega's missions in Nerva Archipeligo Villain Side.

hi
at lvl 6 i got a power pool jump kick power. but cant find how to use it,
there is not a button for it under the powers tab..
oh im a brute
thanks. sry for the dumb questions
[/ QUOTE ]
Well there are two possibilities here. The first is that Jump Kick is in the Powers tab, but you didn't scroll down far enough to see it. Pools get their own entries on on the right side of the tab down at the bottom. You'll have to go down past Temporary Powers and Inherent, etc.
The second possibility is that you didn't actually pick it. After selecting a pool power from the list on the other screen, you have to confirm it in the main power-selection screen. If you pick something else before proceeding through the Level-up, it will deselect the Pool Power. If that's what happened, it's perfectly alright; you can pick up Jump Kick (or any other 1st or 2nd tier Pool Power) at the next Training in which you select a new power (which would be 8 in this case).
You can have selections from up to 4 different Pools (say: Leaping, Fitness, Medicine, and Leadership as an example). The first two powers open up at 6. The third power opens up at 14 so long as you have at least one power from the pool already. The fourth power opens up at 20 so long as you have at least two powers from the pool already. The "travel" powers all come open at 14 as they are all third-powers in the Leaping, Flight, Speed, and Teleportation Pools.
And don't worry at all about asking questions. "Newb" is not an indictable offense in this game.

Ouch. I'd document these in the Technical Issues & Bugs section of the forums.

It's generally a good idea to set it to whatever the resolution of your desktop is. The option to change resolution is located in the Graphics and Audio tab in the Graphics section, it'll be the first option you see in that section that has a drop down. in the drop down menu there will be a list of resolutions, there should be one with (desktop) next to it.
[/ QUOTE ]
And you get to these options by Clicking Menu in the upper right (or just press the "\" backslash key), then click Options near the bottom of the list (or just press the "O" key with the menu open). -

I don't know. It was talking about Enhancements. But there was no "Ok" or "Close" option, not red ex. It took up the half of the screen so I couldn't log out. I had to ctrl+alt+del my way out of City of Heroes.
[/ QUOTE ]
Not sure where you got stuck, but I made a quick character and entered the Hero Tutorial to try and see if we can find out.
Here is the First popup window from the Enhancement portion of the Hero Tutorial. You can close that window by clicking on "Leave" in the lower left or the (X) in the upper right.
Here is the Second popup that talks about Enhancements. You close this window by clicking OK at the bottom of the window.
Here is the Third (and last) popup window dealing with Enhancements in the Tutorial. Here you can close the window by using either of the methods from the first window, but what you should do is click Be introduced to a new contact. That will introduce you to Coyote, who will give you a brief mission to go on.
Can you tell us which window was giving you trouble and what you could see of it?
