The Forest is Burning
Arc ID: 108395
Length: Short
Devouring Earth with 2 custom bosses and an ally in an open map that allows for avoiding everything till you find the ally who heals and blasts. Great for low damage types.

[/ QUOTE ]
A heads-up: if you used the burning forest map, several people have reported that it's currently broken and the missions using it will not load. Might want to check that.

[ QUOTE ]
Back then, I'm sure there was no "no one hit kills" code...

[/ QUOTE ]
It wouldn't apply anyway. Only players benefit from that. I one-shot enemies every day.

By the way, since Issue 14 launched, I have earned almost 400,000 prestige for my SG with no exploits, no comm officers, no farming. It wasn't all in AE, as I do several TFs every week, but a lot of it was. (To be perfectly clear, I did farm but it was for the virtual defeat badges so no influence or prestige were earned doing it.)

Thousands upon thousands of arcs with actual stories. I can't wait until we get the better search filtering they announced so that when I want to play silly arcs I can find them easier.

As long as it's not the kind of 'tough love' we got yesterday that shut down a ton of bases.

[ QUOTE ]
lets hope the farms dont get nerf'd.

[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry but, as you're probably aware by now, they got out the torches and pitchforks today.

[ QUOTE ]
How about Lost Connection to Mapserver to start off... and then can't re-log onto the character that I LCMS with because "so and so, is STILL logging out"... 15mins later. Anyone seen THAT before?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. For whatever reason, it thinks the character is still online. Generally, you'll have to wait long enough for the auto-log feature to kick them off.

[ QUOTE ]
Under that big picture of you pounding on the Nemesis robot the caption says "Unnamed Rescuer saves local business." I guess the hostages thought that was your superhero name.

[/ QUOTE ]
If they thought that was my name, shouldn't they be addressing me as 'Mr. Rescuer'?

I think MTS is referring to 'regular' (i.e. existing, dev-written) missions. Plenty of them have captives address you as 'Rescuer'.

[ QUOTE ]
Would I be able to achieve that just by upgrading my graphics card or do I need a whole new PC?

[/ QUOTE ]
In order to answer this, we would need some information about your motherboard (for sure) and power supply (would be helpful). Can you advise the exact make and model of the computer (assuming it's not custom-built)?

They cannot level past level 13

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't that used to be 14?

[/ QUOTE ]
Unless it was changed recently (within the past couple of weeks), it *IS* level 14. I know someone who just started the game recently and got to 14 before upgrading their account.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think leveling past 13 means you can level at 13 to 14, then you can't level any more making your final level 14, not 13. A little bit of ambiguous English here, but it's not "You can only reach level 13" its "You can't level past 13." When you are level 13 and have a full bar of xp, you are leveling at 13 to 14. When you reach a full bar at 14 you are leveling at 14 to 13.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, it just seems to me that reaching level 14 would be considered as leveling "past level 13". My friend was indeed able to train to 14 and get a travel power and subsequently could not advance any further.

Psoma... you don't talk to me anymore... what the h3ll/!?!?!?!

[/ QUOTE ]
Is there construction going on somewhere? All kinds of stuff is crawling out of the woodwork.

[ QUOTE ]
The last I read on the pathing rules when raiding becomes available again was that there -might- be an option to turn it on and/or off depending on if you want your base raidable or not.

[/ QUOTE ]
I had heard that as well. That's why I said "if you want your base to be raid-capable". It seems we will have an option but, if you have 5,000 overlapping items and want to raid . . . ouch.

[ QUOTE ]
Doesn't matter what server it is, in fact, I can test it by opening up a web browser. During the times where I lose connection to CoX, I also cannot access the cityofheroes.com website. I can access pretty much everything else, but it looks like the CoX family of servers is intermittently getting rerouted to Mars.

[/ QUOTE ]
Interesting. Have you checked if it's servers on both coasts? This list on Paragonwiki.com shows which servers are on each coast.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, im sure its not my internet connection on my end cause ill be on vent with no interruption or lag while the issues are happening

[/ QUOTE ]
It could still be the connection, just not at your end of it. Try viewing the netgraph while this happens (i.e. start netgraph before it happens and see how it looks during the event).
Type /netgraph 1 to turn it on and /netgraph 0 to turn it off.

Edit: To be perfectly clear - type that in the chat window. This is a command inside CoH, not Windows.

[ QUOTE ]
What would NOT surprise me is when their supposed Base Raid "fix" goes live, there'll be HUGE changes and the majority of people won't be happy about 'em. Just my prediction.

[/ QUOTE ]
A safe prediction, I would think. Essentially, we were told that pathing rules were removed due to raiding being disabled. It stands to reason that, if you want your base to be raid-capable if they bring back the Cathedral of Pain, the base will have to once again adhere to strict pathing rules.

[ QUOTE ]
This is a forum for base builders, you are lost.

Whatever forum you were headed to misses you and wants you not to wonder into a forum you clearly have no interest in.

Anyone who posts here eagerly awaits base updates. It's not uncommon to ask, "where is the base love?" in a base construction forum.

[/ QUOTE ]
Base builders and sourpusses, apparently. It's also not uncommon to cry "DOOOOM". That doesn't make it productive.

[ QUOTE ]
I've taken it back to him and every time I do he says nothing is happening for him.

[/ QUOTE ]
hmm... Assuming he had it running long enough that it *should* have happened, that suggests it's something specific to the location. Do you have an uninterruptible power supply you could run it on to see if it's a power issue?

[ QUOTE ]
I know that when I look at arcs I've played, sometimes it doesn't show me the "you rated this arc *****" note, even when the other person confirmed receiving the tickets from my rating.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, this is definitely a bug. I see this occasionally, where I'll do a few missions and one will not show that I've rated it (even after searching again to update the listing).

There's so many things it can be. Have you been able to spot any sort of pattern at all? Is it after X amount of time on, during or after using a particular program? What kind of power protection do you have? Could it be something else in the house causing a power fluctuation?

Can you tell us the brand and model? Also, what kind of monitor is it? I've never heard of a monitor causing a reboot, though.

Each item still works perfectly. You got what you paid for. Not every costume part can be used with every other part. If fact, there are many combinations that aren't allowed.

[ QUOTE ]
Of course every name is unique as a whole, but I think he meant that his name doesn't contain something like "Captain" (for example), so it wont return 100 results when you search for it. lol

[/ QUOTE ]
I haven't tried yet, but does the interface allow you to enclose the search term in quotes, so that you only get exact matches? If so, it wouldn't matter if it had a word like 'Captain' in it.

[ QUOTE ]
They said in one of the interviews that they were shooting for about 1% Dev's Choice, which superficially sounds like a fairly elite group. However, by that metric, we should be closing in on a *thousand* Dev's Choice *already* (I believe arc IDs are already over 100,000, but it's hard to say what fraction of those are actually valid).

[/ QUOTE ]
Every so often, someone counts. I think the last time someone counted, the actual number of arcs available was around 20% of the highest ID # used.

Read it again. Disappeared THREE times.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm sorry I don't have the arc IDs, I noticed this thread during server down time and my global is unique enough to be search able.

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, ALL globals are unique. They have to be. That's usually the easiest way to find someone's arcs. I mean, who wants to search for "Bikini Clad Samurai Vampiresses From Outer Space"? (No, it's not my arc. It's a tribute to Ed Wood and it's pretty funny. I don't recall the author. The title got me to play it.)
