Okay, there MAY be issues with Fire/Rads tonight.
Namely GOING ROGUE.
Right now, at 4 PM, server loads look like THIS:
Both Virtue and Freedom are PEGGED at the moment with queues building.
We'll see what it looks like this evening.... -

The queue system has been around a while now.
Hope this image burns it's way into the collective memory when people start asking for server merges again.

Well, nuts. Aren't we supposed to get more Character Slots with this? Ive used all my spare slots already, so I can't make anyone new right now without giving someone the axe...
Take one of your less-played alts and move them off to another server. -
One problem you're going to run into on high-pop servers.
Notice the LOVELY red dots (all three of them)?
When logging in, you get a nice queue message telling you that you are number X of a queue of Y people who're waiting to log into the server.
So, essentially, on the first day something really flipping cool drops in the game YOU CANNOT LOG INTO YOUR SERVER OF CHOICE. Why? BECAUSE IT IS FULL. -
One more thing.
Try logging in today. You just got a resistance debuff as part of your primary attack. That should increase your damage output slightly.

I have two predictions.
- I will make lots of inf on the market.
- I will spend lots of inf on the market.

So my three offensive abilities are a 4 slotted Jab and Punch and Boxing... none of them make any dastardly villains shake in their boots. I had originally intended to take Air Superiority but decided the defensive upside of Combat Jumping and Acrobatics destroys what Flight can provide.
The mid to late teens are a painful time for just about everyone. Especially solo.Quote:I've already set the ground work for Health/Stamina and Tough/Weave but I really can't kill a darn thing right now. Is this just growing pains? Will it all work out in the end? Using half of your endurance pool to kill an even level Minion is beyond depressing, its downright demoralizing.
Are you still missing a lot? At 15, even with DOs, your Acc is usually atrocious. Maybe consider doubling up on Acc DOs (giving you an SO's worth of Acc). This will cut down on you missing and wasting end.
Also, Brawl is your friend! Yeah, it does jack for damage. But it costs ZERO END, and acts as a spacer for your more damage-heavy attacks. Stick an Acc in there and call it done.
Your first big boost comes at 20 with Stamina. Three-slotting it out quickly makes a big difference in your combat longevity.
Your second big boost comes with SOs. They provide a MASSIVE boost to your acc, damage output and (if slotted for) end reduction.
Read Call_Me_Awesome's guide to the first 20 levels. (See his sig above.)Quote:I've read that most people exclude Haymaker due to is end cost and recharge but I really need a dmg dealing ability if I'm going to maintain my sanity.
Looking back over your build, don't waste slots on EndRes in your defense/resist toggles. The paltry amount of endurance (granted, over time it adds up) saved from these toggles would be better spent slotted in attacks.
Also, Dull Pain is just overslotted for your level. Decide on either a fast-recharging small heal or a slow recharging big heal. Don't try to do both right now. This frees up two more slots that can go into attacks.
Don't waste time with EndRed in Combat Jumping. Just drop defenses in there and be done with it. It'll provide a LITTLE defense (not much, but better than nothing).
If you were to respec right now, I'd keep TempInvuln and Unyielding at two Resist slots, and go with Dull Pain on three recharges.
I'd then take the two slots from TI and Unyield and put them in Jab and Punch as extra Acc.
I'd take the two slots recovered from DP and put them into Boxing. Go two Acc, one Damage. Your general toughness for resisting damage will be identical. Your damage output should rise significantly since you'll be missing (and wasting End) a lot less.
Once you hit SOs, you can convert that second Acc to a third Damage. Or, if you REALLY hate missing, just keep it there. -

If that's the case, we originally tried splitting the teams up, but when we did not get enough people to show, we went to a blitz approach.
I'll have to see if I can find the write-up that Doctor Dude did for it.
HOWEVER, it DOES require some modicum of corridination.
You have to bring all the obelisks down simultaneously or it's a no-go. For a new team, that's the toughest part. -

Step one: Download the intel driver you need. x64(64 bit) or x386(32 bit)
Step two: go to control panel | devices and printer| device manager
Step three: select the moniter, right click and uninstall it. Reboot the computer.
Step four: install the new driver and verify it by going back to step two.
Actually, you select the Display Adapter. -

I got the map of the Innersphere, although it may be out of date. Got it with my out of date Solaris VII boxset back when Fasa Corb still held the rings.
You can pull down PDFs of the whole Inner Sphere (and Clanspace).

The last BattleTech boxed set came with a very nice IS map by one of the ISCS contributors as well. -

It was something people figured out after they actually looked at the various maps given for the various continents. If you add all the distances given together, the planet comes out as gigantic.

Quote:Are we talking just comic book? Or various other media? Movies? Games (not just computer)? What?Originally Posted by Nightphall
It's a question that I really don't hear many answers to. I was able to find a couple, such as Krypton formerly being in the Andromeda Galaxy. Most other settings that have had main characters visit other galaxies (Star Trek) didn't stay in the galaxy long enough to actually see anything.
As far as fantasy planets go, like Athas (Dark Sun), or Toril (Forgotten Realms), the planet is named, but its' star usually isn't, so it makes it impossible to determine where it is in our galaxy. (Or any other) (There are exceptions though. The Blue Lantern planet Odym orbits the star Polaris, so that determines that the planet is located in the Milky Way.) Or perhaps the star IS named, but isn't named after one that was discovered in real life. (So I suppose the reader can determine what galaxy, if they even think that big)
So......is there any list out there that can somewhat answer my question?
The BattleTech community has a reference of several thousand planets. You can look them up here: http://isatlas.teamspam.net/ -
Okay, CoH Helper is not incompatible with Win7 x64. The guide to asking for help on the forums (the one in my sig) was created on a Win7 x64 of the same build number as your machine.
This kinda points to a problem with the machine. Are you overclocking?
Did you install by doing "run as administrator"?
Have you tried running it through "run as administrator"?
Also, the current version of the Catalyst drivers are 10.7, you're on 10.3. -
Quote:Lusca is actually more of a zone event. It almost requires more than a single team.Originally Posted by Maniac_Raid
Lusca is constantly ignored, Adamaster is barely heard from, same with Jurassik in Crey's, and when Babbage spawns in Boomtown... well, I've NEVER heard anyone calling out in global channels asking for help to take him down.
Adamaster, Jurassik, and Babbage are all rarely hunted beause they're in hazard zones with very little to do in there besides hit mission doors (assigned from out-of-zone contacts) and the GMs themselves.
Maybe if there was more to do in the, on a regular basis, than merely street-hunt, we'd see more people slapping down these out-of-the-way GMs.
Have to hit work. May ad more to this later. -

I still have my disks from when the game first came out or my City of Villains but would rather have the bits which are much closer to current without having to wait for it to all download through the updater.
Thanks for any help.
Unfortunately no. However, it's probably better to do it now than later. Once you log in the first time, it'll pre-download 99% of the stuff for the GR release. This way, when it hits next week, you download just a couple config files and you're at GR. -
I'm taking advantage of this to free up a couple more slots on Protector. Moved a spare Ice tank off to another server for Tanker Tuesdays. Have a few more I'm going to farm out.

Okay, respec'ed my toon, Domina specifically for the raid. And it turned out QUITE well. Only cost me about 70 mil.
Hopefully my targeting wasn't to horrific.
All in all a fairly smooth raid. The power-through on the last bloom was ****ING AWESOME!
Thanks to Kid and Major T for the great run! Hopefully, sometime soon, we'll be able to try for an evacless. -

Quote:I dunno. If it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.Originally Posted by RedSwitchblade
What I saw next was something that blew my mind. The team descended, and in pitched battle the Spider taunted them all with his army of Banes and his sliver of insurmountable health. Then, from the heavens above, descended a single Assault Bot. The label above its head was emblazoned in green with the moniker "My Life's Work" and it promptly landed, shouted an error code and made the bootup noise from an OS9 PowerPC, then exploded, killing the Spider. Sparks flew from Professor Freak as the Super-Villain Advisory Board granted him clearance to level 50. My jaw hit the floor for critical damage. This little turd of a character violated his idiotic noPet rule for an equally idiotic chance at glory with a marginally idiotic use of Detonator. I then imagined what he could have done if weren't an idiot.
Plus, it's a flipping EPIC funny story.
C'mon, he wasn't a Bots/Traps MM. He was a Teammates/Traps/BoomBot MM. Why waste money on robots when flunkies...err...teammates are cheaper and plentiful? -
Happy berfday!

(returning after not playing for a cupple of years)
thanks. simon.
Actually you're not running DirectX11 on there. The SIS Mirage3 is a DX9 part. It's not really geared towards gaming.
Additionally, CoH is an OpenGL game. And while the chipset supposedly supports OGL 1.5, AFAIK, CoH is using pieces and parts of various iterations of OGL2 and OGL3.
Try hitting sis.com and see if you can grab the latest graphics driver. It might help. Otherwise, you may just be on a car that simply isn't capable of running the game. If so, I'm sorry. -
Okay, your total memory may be 3.5GB of utilization, but actually look at the Processes screen on your Task Manager.
Usually CoH goes unstable sometime after it surpasses 1.5 GB of memory use for the CityOfHeroes.exe process.
Check to see if that's what the issue is.
Additionally, you may want to try mapping a macro button for:
/unloadgfx
This can sometimes assist when your CoH is being badly behaved with memory.
Also, you have an Intel mobile graphics chip on your laptop.
Note, this is NOT an ideal solution.
HOWEVER!
Your graphics drivers are approximately two years out of date.
Current version for you is 8.15.10.2182 (15.17.9.64.2182)
You can download the drivers from Intel HERE.
Make sure you download the 64-bit versions, as you're running the 64-bit Windows Vista. This may help aleviate some of your crash issues.
I'd also hit the Gateway site to see if they have updated driver versions for other things on your system.
