For info - i too, transferred, when the EU version came out and i enquired via the support team and it was corrected for me.

fairly easily managed to make Skate..
named him Skoot http://www.ivanwhite.com/coh/sor3-skate-001.jpg

can always re-do him if necessary. He'll be using the pink sliding sprint power and is martial arts / will power, at the moment.

I couldn't re-create the skates entirely, although the slide should look ok. and his vest doesn't have a t-shirt underneath as i don't think that's possible with coh clothing...

Bagsy a hybrid Kangaroo / lizard / insect / thing.

I'll create a weird boxing toon just in case I'll have to create a character that can't use a tail or swipe with a tail, but ill give it a try and see what happens.

hm, ok after an hour or so of trying it .. I can't make a kangaroo...

back to the drawing board

I'd be interested in joining with a new toon or two!
Heroes or Villains side ? or both ?

Something to watch out for on the 'Generic'ed' topic tho, would be : If you create a cossie and really only name the character one letter different, depending on what copyrights there are currently, you may find it DOES get generic'ed.

However, my guess would be, if you created the SG, named the character away from the Streets of Rage theme, but had a Bio explaining he was the son / nephew / daughter / niece / cousin continuing the saga, maybe that would be allowed.

Another example - it'd be quite tricky to create a boxing kangaroo, but you could always try a wolf, lizard or insect, and if you have the vet reward, create a boxer...

I dont use IO's apart from the normal ones - no sets in my builds. I still see a bit of debt if a squishy dies, but on my tanker, it goes relatively during one mission.

It doesn'#t really bother me - if debt was back at i3 / or even levels it was at a year or so ago - it'd mean more influence made to less xp.

Why not have an impact in influence gained when you have debt, too?

personally i would've used the question:

Does Golden Girl want to see animated hair in the 'City Of' games?

A > No
2 > YES!
C > There is no 3rd option.

oh.. and /entered twice.

As for the OP's picture - very, very good.. i dont' consider myself an artist and drew a picture of my dad once.. this was for GCSE art and got an A. I'd say it wasn't as good as yours... I'll see if i can did it out and scan it in one day...

At the launch of issue 12 I bought a new pc.
My old setup was the following;

P4 @ 2409 MHZ
2x512gb ram
Leadtek Geforce 6600GT 128mb (standard drivers that came with the install disc.)
asus p4pe motherboard

I ran the game on medium settings.

My new setup is the following;

AMD Quad Core Phenom @ 2.21 GHZ
2x 1024GB Ram
MSI Geforce N9800GTX T2D 512mb (first 174.74 now 175.16 drivers)
ASRock ALiveNF5-eSATA2+ Motherboard

Running everything on the highest.
I'm encountering driver crashes every now and then, it doesnt seem to happen at specific moments, and I cant reproduce the crash, it just happens at random moments.

I have tried the above solutions but they dont seem to help.
Is there a known issue with city of heroes and nvidea drivers 175.16 or could there be an internal problem in my pc?

I did not have the problem with the 174.74 drivers, however, these drivers have a fan problem that sets the fan speed of my card to only 9% and doesnt let me change it, and thus causes it to overheat under stress, this problem was fixed with the 175.16 drivers, so going back to the old drivers is unfortunately no option for me.

So what you're saying is 'everything' changed, when you bought a new PC. motherboard / chipset drivers. Graphics drivers (whilst staying the same revision are now being utilised on a different card), sound drivers, etc, etc.

I would go through each set of drivers you installed with the new system one at a time, making sure you have the most up to date drivers for all chipsets available in your new system. Then do what GR is saying about safe mode.

As it's intermittant you may not notice some differences for a while.

Another option is to make sure your system does not automatically overclock your processor or graphics card running speeds. Your board manuals will advise about this, if they do and give you options to remove the overclocking.

Hope that helps.

Well, got the tattoo today Photo to follow soon...

Thanks Efranof... Got that saved now - ill blow it up and see what it looks like...

Crimson - Brilliant idea...! I may well do that. It'll probably be worth a trip from Swindon to Birmingham, if its unique

Anarchy - here's most of mine - excuse the crude pics.

http://www.ivanwhite.com/tattoos

the spider-man ones are one for each film, the first was the full spiderman, 2nd was his head and third is the spider-man 3 logo.

The dragon is loosely bassed on a design on a dungeon wall in dungeons and dragons.

My back is just a pair of eyes. I saw the design and immediately wanted it on my shoulder blades (or approx area)

and the face, on my chest was me being silly, as i half regret it now

Harley Quinn would sit on my right arm underneath the spiderman

I've seen this one: http://www.ivanwhite.com/pics/harley-quinn/1701.jpg

and like the general pose - and at about 4-5 inches long i reckon it'd look good...

yeah, im doing that ffm, even on images i've only found 3 that are really any good..(or at least have enough size and detail to be a decent tattoo)

Not entirely sure which section to post this in, as its comic related, creative related and 'Tattoo' related.

Let me explain.

I'm currently searching for a very clear, really good 'Harley Quinn' pose in a picture on the web, of if someone of some comic genius esteem could draw one for me, even better I've had a check in the interweb myself (but only thru google) and the only real decent pictures of her are small, and won't blow up very well for a tattoo...

It's going towards my next tattoo (7th) 5 of which are comic characters already

If anyone has a link to a harley quinn picture or could draw me one from a comic they have, or scan the page and post a link, i'd be eternally grateful, and ofc, you'll get your picture on my arm, permanently in ink

For those who are wondering who Harley Quinn is - she was Harleen Quinzel, girlfriend to the Joker who becomes Harley Quinn in DC Comics. (Batman Stories).

Thank, in advance.

Ivan (Aka Isit Hotinhere, in COH)

Following on from this - does anybody have a build they'd care to post please ? I''ve created a grav / storm troller myself and desperately want to play him, however i haven't the first idea about slotting, and powers to take etc.

Alternatively if anyone knows of any good links to guides... I've googled it but it generally comes back with what each power does rather than a build set.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks v much Firekitty - much appreciated

I've looked thru 6 pages into the controllers thread but not found anything about it..

Does anyone have one and is it any good ?

Any Advice about them would be great as im thinking of creating 3 types of controller to test

Grav / Kine
Grav / Storm (which ive read about on here, so thats all sorted)
Grav / Rad - also know about these

But know nowt about the Grav / Kine in PvE...

I tried my hand at creating video for the 1st time on my PC tonight.

You'll recognise the tune ( i hope !!)

www.ivanwhite.com/hockey/video

just right click once you've navigated there and choose save target as or save link as, or whatever the text is in IE / Netscape / Firefox, then play it on your own PC once it's downloaded (it uses up my bandwidth, if you play it direct from my site, which stop others from downloading it)

Enjoy!

EDIT: I've uploaded it to youtube now - so you don't have to download it from my site :

Feedback appreciated

Cheers!

Most disappointed, followed the link and found out they were Trumpton Fire brigade...when I have thought for ages that they were from Camberwick Green....my whole childhood memories are now destroyed...cries into his 4th beer


[/ QUOTE ]
Ah but no The area around Trumpton has Trumpton as the large city, Camberwick Green as the nearby town and Chigley as the village. There's often characters travelling between the two; Windy Miller's windmill is between Chigley and Camberwick Green, for example. If there ever was a fire...

superb !

I've only just noticed this thread - level 29 thugs / ff mm at the moment - with 6 of the 7 dwarves as pets - 7th that isn't included is 'happy' all the other 6 have :

Grumpy
Doc
Sleepy
Bashful
Sneezy
Dopey



My toon (Avril) is based on rock chick Avril Lavigne, in a twisted kinda way.

Hi all,

I've been asked by a friend who is going to make a thugs MM, what would the best spec / combo for a Thugs MM ?

He asked :

What goes with the Thugs well ?
What would be a good set up for 30% PVP / 70% PVE?

and also are Thugs / Traps any good ?

I explained, Personally i currently have a level 29 Thugs / Force fields - as then i can bubble the thugs for extra defence...and it works nicely in groups for PVE AND PVP

Any thoughts greatly appreciated - thanks !

[ QUOTE ]
Ive played an Ice/dark to lvl24 and its really a good combo... think about tar patch + ice storm (3dmg slotted)...

Also, get Darkest night as a good dmg mitigator, and the heal is really awesome, the highest heal with the kinetic one...

In the counterside, i think /dark has a little long time activations for me... But thats just an opinion...

In fire/dark, the same combo is available, plus the fireball and the cone flame attack... A lot of AoE powers for attacks, and a bit less of control (IMO)

Both combos are really good, enjoy them

[/ QUOTE ]

Cheers Def..

Thanks all so far for the opinions

Im going to create a Fire/Dark and an Ice/ Dark to check the differences first i think...

I'm thinking of playing quite a bit on COV after giving it a wide berth - don't know why, just hasn't floated my boat as much as COH - anyhoo...

What is the general consensus of the best corrupter power sets - or would you all say its a case of try n see what i like ? - whats good for soloing / teaming, etc?


thanks in advance.

I'll try n make, personal life shouldn't get in the way afaik [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You need to visit the SG registrar (where you created your SG) in order to pay rent - its not automatic unfortunately.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks v much for the reply

Quote from the FAQ on rent / bases :

Q11: Isn't that kind of annoying [to have to pay rent in person]?
A11: Yes.

We didn't want to deduct rent automatically, because if your SG went on vacation for a while, it'd slowly drain your coffers.

------

A message came up today saying rent was due on the 3rd dec, I understand it doesn't take the rent automatically but whats the command to pay it please as the FAQ didn't tell you how to pay it ....

Thanks in advance ..
