Quote:Wow, only 10 seconds? Might want to send a PM to Castle and ask if that's WAI. I could see 120 seconds like the non-combat procs, or make it like the Psi resist portion and have it act as a set bonus.Originally Posted by The Grim Heaper
Yes, we've covered that. I was responding more to this part of Katze's post.
In that the way I understand it used to work (piling up many smaller bonuses over time) was less effective in click powers, as it only activated the IO once, and only got the one small bonus for a limited time. Now it appears that the IO just hands out one big bonus, which may or may not be better for auto/toggle powers, but is damned useless for click powers, because it only lasts 10 seconds. -
Quote:Hmm, just checked this after I posted and noticed the change to full "20%" immediately and thought there might have been a change.Originally Posted by Derangedpolygot
Aegis's Mez resist changed in i17. It's a 'full' 20% instead of a bunch of 5%'s. It's grants an immediate 16.67% when the power it's slotted in is turned on. This was done because Aegis was improperly filling all 5 of the Rule of Five for 5% mez resistance.
(I have not tested the duration of the effect when used in a click power; I'll only even slot it in an Auto or a Toggle power.)
It's better for the click powers at least. -

The temp power gives you either a Night Widow or a Huntsman disguise ...

Radio mission ambushes are finally fixed! woo! I've been bugging these since .. well, since they were introduced, as the paper missions always had them. The only thing I could figure is that the kidnapping villains on the hero side weren't as 'on the ball' as the villain-side kidnappers.
(or Devs hate villains ):P -

Edit: The power no longer works the following way as of I17 -see following posts. TY for the heads up Derangedpolygot:
Found the description of how the power works in a guide I was reading when I chose to slot it:

Quote:The Psi Resistance is indeed always on, but the amount of resistance it gives depends on your AT. It uses the normal Resistance buff AT modifier, so Tankers/Controllers/Defenders/Masterminds/Soldiers of Arachnos get the full 3% Psi Resistance, Dominators get 2.55% Psi Resistance, Scrappers/Kheldians/Brutes/Stalkers get 2.25% Psi Resistance, and Blasters get 2.1% Psi Resistance.
The status resistance however is neither 20% nor always on. It actually gives a 5% resistance upon activation, and this bonus stacks with itself up to 5 times. In other words, the first time the power is activated you get a 5% resistance, the second time it is activated you get a total of 10% resistance, and so on. After the 5th activation you have 25% resistance (the values are reset when you zone).
In a passive/toggle you reach the maximum status resistance after about 40 seconds, but in a click power the resistance you get depends on how often you use the power. Slotting the Aegis into something like Unstoppable will of course result in a very slow build up of status resistance, and if you don't use the click power you don't get any status resistance at all -
I have it slotted in my Charged Armor on my blaster, and the Psi resist is treated as a global (always on even if the power is not), but the Mez resist builds up over time when the power is turned on to a maximum of 25% reduction (81% mez duration).

I've noticed the change to Trolls, and the cloaking device on KoA's has a serious defence now too: "Deflected Deflected Deflected.." (and yes, I checked the last chance to hit and it is significant now compared to the previous version. It's possible that previously the defence suppressed when they attacked but it no longer does.)

Quote:Had the same dismissal bug with my mercenaries; they died rather than saluting and running off.Originally Posted by Tyrrano
Pulled out my ninja mastermind tonight and played a bit. Went to log out and dismissed my Genin. They spoke their usual lines, "Back to the shadows" or some such, but then they fell down in a boneless heap, just like zombies do. o.O I don't recall seeing that bug before. Guess I should log onto my 'bot mastermind just to see...

Radio missions will spawn ambushes, but how a level 35 ambush got to Faultline is the hard part.
Maybe accept a lvl 35 radio mission, then head to Faultline via SG beacon to team up with a lower level team but ambush is already spawned at level 35? -

I don't think the OP was asking for a tutorial of the Gladiator system. Why would you do that to him? He was simply reporting an issue.
You don't really have to test. He doesn't need your help. He's reporting an issue that he had so the devs can have a look.

On the news page about the new Dev Diaries (http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/new...v_diaries.html) Dual pistols is referred to as "Duel" pistols:
"First check out Nelson Tam's article on Massively where he talks about the creation of the Duel Pistols powers that you enjoy wielding so masterfully in-game."

Quote:If you mean enabling dual core (the -renderthread flag) then the game has it enabled by default for a while now. If you still want to force it, here's the section at ParagonWiki: CoH Not Using Dual CPUsOriginally Posted by zoltaire
Hey guys,
I know there used to be a post on how to hyper thread your dual processors so that instead of each processor running at 50%, they each ran at 100% during cox. I recently reinstalled cov, and i need to get it hyper threaded up again, but after doing a forum search, i can't find the post. can anyone help me? do you know the command that i add to the desktop icon, or can you link me to that post? The last time i needed/read the post it was well before the forum update, and the new cox page look.
Thanks a ton,
Z.
Quote:CoH Not Using Dual CPUs
Dual core processors are becoming extremely popular, however CoH doesn't always detect and use both processors (and this is especially true in Vista).CoH is supposed to detect the dual processors automatically but that code is currently buggy. May as well put it in yourself and force the issue. Even hyperthreading processors can take advantage of renderthread!-Zloth
Correcting this is similar to the Missing Pointer fix above.
- Right click your desktop shortcut for the City updater.
- Select 'Properties'. Make sure you are in the 'Shortcut' tab.
- Select the 'Target' field. It should look something like this: "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe"
- Add -renderthread 1 to the end of the target, so that it looks like this: "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -renderthread 1 If you have installed your game to the default location, you can copy and paste the line above into your target field.

Quote:Here's Castle's post:Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Just so you know, the prompt was removed in order to counter an exploit that some players were apparently abusing.
I think it was in the beta forums where Castle replied about this issue (Unhappiness about the auto accept) and explained that he had tried to fix it without removing the prompt, but was unsuccessful.
Seems as though he or someone else may have come up with a way to do it. So, here it is.
Followed by:Quote:Originally Posted by Castle
I tried to make this work while leaving the Accept/Deny option available, but doing so left an exploit in place which allowed players to stack multiple copies of the buff on themselves. The only way to fix that was to remove the prompt. I'm very sorry that it negatively impacts your play experience.
Quote:Originally Posted by Castle
That's a question for the engineers; it's not something the powers system can deal with, currently. I'll pass the suggestion along.Quote:FreckledAvenger 
Castle, would it be possible to have the option to either auto-accept always or auto-deny always? Leaving out the prompt option? It's still not perfect, but maybe a better compromise. -

You can also find them during the day along the lakeshore, where the Misty Wood zone arcs across to the lake in the NW.

I'd like to see the return of the Tabitha Fabish Magic store signs in Talos Island and Independence Port.
They were changed to swinging "El Super Mexicano" signs when Physx was introduced, and then [incorrectly?] replaced with "Pandora's Box" signs. The employees inside are still referred to as "The Mystic", "The Seer", etc. and not "Pandora's Box employee", so I would think this was an oversight. -
Quote:Yes, it's a bug according to Avatea From Live Patch Notes - 5/12/10Originally Posted by hedgehog_NA
Has there been confirmation that they consider this a bug? They have had no problem in the past nerfing rewards in the name of fixing "exploits".

Hunting missions shouldn't be affected if by that you mean "Defeat X Baddies". Only sub-tasks within missions should be affected by this change. If it were to be the case, however, please let us know so we can get it fixed.Quote:Originally Posted by zamuel
I hope a red name can clarify this. Done right, hunts can be fun so it would be disappointing if bonuses are taken away. On the flip side, I hope this isn't being added to punish those who opt to use stealth in their gameplay, especially since it already gives less xp than a kill all. -
Are there not 3 tiers of Jetpack recipes, like there is with the St Louis and Hand Grenades?
For example, I have 2 Hand grenade recipes on a level 50 character that was doing flashbacks: one costs 2,500 to craft and uses tier 2 salvage, the other costs 10,000 inf and uses tier 3.
Edit: Just checked the markets, and there are 3 tiers of Jetpack, the lowest tier costs 2500 inf to craft and uses tier 1 salvage. -

Using /stuck has always reset the Nav point for me when it gets bugged during Seer Marino's arc.
Just move away from the incorrect Nav point and type /stuck. -
Quote:This was a bug with Issue 17. Any characters logged in after Issue 17 went live had all power customizations removed in all costume slots except for the first costume slot. They've removed the bug causing the erasure, and given out free costume tokens with the patch on May 12.Originally Posted by Scarlet_Hand
The custom colors I changed on my alternate costumes for all of my characters have reset. I've had to make Icon the first stop for all of my characters when logging them in so I can get the power colors right for all their alt costumes. I don't know if this is unique to me or if others are experiencing this as well (I searched the forum and did not find a post describing this, but I may have missed it).
Anyways, its not a huge issue because of all the free tailor tokens that I hoard, but if someone could look into this I'd be grateful.
Of course this means re-doing all of those power customizations, so I've taken to saving each configuration now as I go through and fix them.
