Kitsune Knight

If the target dies in the middle of casting, it'll still animate but give no benifit.

Use the Real Numbers (Combat Monitor, combat log, and power analyzer/survelliance).


Also, remember that AE enemies, ESPECIALLY ArchVillains, get optional access to VERY strong powers, including powers that resist debuffs, as well as debuff you (including your ability to debuff). Testing against variable, arbitrary AE enemies to determine if you're staying effective is simply futile.

Could be... but that still leaves a rather large window to stealth edit! After 5 minutes or so I'll try editing again and see if it gets the little message added then...

I'm fairly certain you can still stealth edit on these boards... at least the last time I edited a post, I was surprised when I saw it didn't say that it had been edited. Lets find out!

This post was EDITED!

Yeah, the Devs were a bit too vigorous with those messages when they added Architect Entertainment to the game

I'd try heading over to the Hollows and working on those story lines. The revamped Hollows are pretty nice from what I hear (I still need to get around to playing this...)

Check the Tech Support & Issues section of the forum. Based on that message, I take it you're on Vista (possibly 7)? There's any number of reasons that could be happening, from simply buggy drivers, to the video card over heating, to the video card dying, to an error in CoH, etc.

Please post your CoHHelper and HiJack This logs (you can find links to them in the a-fore-mentioned section of the forum, in the common solutions and something-an-other thread, IIRC) so we have more info.

Because other people might have responded by the time I did. The old forums and a Re: section to see who you were responding to, but these don't so without quotes it becomes challenging to see WHAT someone is responding to. IMO, it's good "habbit" () to quote something that you're responding to.

If I'm writing a response to something, I'll quote it first. This is how I write in papers (because otherwise it's rather pointless). When having a conversation in person, you're not relying on mere letters, you've got context clues from the person's expressions, who the person is facing, etc. You lose a lot when you think that written and verbal communication's only difference is one is spoken and one is written. (which is why I use oh so many emoticons in my writing... I actually don't use as many on these forums as I do in other places.... and it's quite a challenge to avoid using them in formal writings which pisses me off so much).


It's good to repeat key pieces if there's any sort of extended delay in the conversation, like you'd have on these forums. And on these forums, it's just easy to just hit the 'quote' button than having to formulate it directly into the response.

I find it's a bad "habbit" to completely ignore the context. I mean, after all, you quoted my whole post Why would you do that, especially when calling such a thing a bad habit?

Most Architect Missions are designed to challenge high level characters... so unless you go for Lowbie Friendly Mission Arcs... you'll likely have a lot of trouble.


If you're on a Villain, you should head to Port Oakes or even Cap Au Diable, and run some newspaper missions to get a contact for a story arc, etc. If you're on blue side... either Kings Row, Skyway, or The Hollows... the first two you get the story arcs via the Radio/Police Band- while The Hollows you start with a contact.

More information would really be useful (at a minimum which faction you're on... AT, powersets, and server are also useful info).

Would probably be hard to get to look right in animations (it'd be akin to animating a long robe), but I'd like to see it eventually.

I did not say it made games bad, I said it was considered a good thing when they moved away from that to hand crafted maps.


Edit: And like was already said, a randomly generated world just isn't going to have the same depth as one where somebody took the time to put in those neat little touches.

No. Not in the slightest.


The automated download is the pre-download for Issue 16, so that when Issue 16 is actually released, you only need the diff from that pre-download to the final release, instead everything from i15 to i16 (so less load on their servers).

Tis' just because you were used to the old forums.

Old RPGs used to do stuff like this. It was considered a very good thing when this practice was ended, as a randomly generated world is never going to be as nice as a predefined, hand crafted world.

This section was moved (from the Development section) here after a string of incidents involving a few infamous posters reported about every single post in this entire section and every thread turned into a flame war. Also, our beloved hero JRanger fell in the final battle. His struggle shall never be forgotten! /JRanger!



(although, a lot of people felt that JRanger was just as bad if not worse Either way, S&I is here because people didn't behave).

First off, not everyone gets Labor Day off




Secondly, I went rafting last weekend and nearly died (seeing another raft shooting over a rapid and about to land on your face kinda makes you regret not posting more useful links in random posts...)... so I'll pass on that for a while

I don't remember that back when I used a trial... although that was at least a year ago... that's an odd change.

Contacts typically are more interesting a bit later in the game... especially for hero side, where most of the starting contacts are pretty stupid (Faultline is hella good, though!)

There are 3 respec trials, so you can get 3 earned respecs. Also, pretty much each issue they give out a free respec (dubbed freespec), but they won't stack with priorly given respecs. You can also buy one from the NCSoft store with real money, or buy a respec recipe in game from the BM/WW/get it as a random drop. There's also respecs from veteran rewards (vetspecs).

Oh, and there's also your alternative build, which you can kinda think of as a respec (although it's not).

You're a hero, you're allowed to defy logic. In fact, it's recommended!
