Master-Blade

Supposedly, the AI was changed to make foes use healing powers sooner and more often. Foes that have healing powers seem to be a little harder now, including the Repairmen at the end of the STF healing the towers before they are even targetable, making the STF much harder as well. 3 simultaneous teams Monday night had to call it quits after over an hour of trying.

After /petitioning, the GM said it was a bug (proably an unintended side effect of the AI change).

He's talking about actual mission teleportation (to the contact), not the main entryway.

[/ QUOTE ]
I would imagine that many players miss that because one has to click on the pillar of flame again after clicking "Leave". Then you have the option to "Teleport to Contact".

[/ QUOTE ] OR you can click on the large crystal in middle of the room to go to contact without the popup first.

yeah yeah, someone said capes so I linked capes. They need a brainfart emote

Villains as in that link, can talk to Kalinda or Burke.

[/ QUOTE ] Fixed. lol

[ QUOTE ]
Auras are a costume option that can be unlocked at level 30. Heroes can unlock them through a mission given by the City Representative. Villains can unlock them through a mission given by Kalinda or Matthew Burke. Completing this mission unlocks Auras for the single character owning the mission. Once unlocked, the character must visit a Tailor to add, change, or remove an Aura from his or her costume slots. This costs influence/infamy.

I'm in as always.. I'll bring whatever character is needed to fill in the gaps in the team.

Edit: If there is a badge involved, I might just have to bring MB though (Katana/Regen Scrapper).

He just went from 690 to 622 with i15's release.. lol

but none of them work either. I wonder where the picture is. lol

The Going Rogue image works just fine:

Is it just me, or are the splash sounds subdued? Instead of jumping with a big splash, it sounds more like stepping through a puddle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your ears serve you well. Yes, water sound effects are different. In fact the entire soundscape has changed. Door opening sounds, movment sounds on various textures, etc.

[/ QUOTE ] This. Doors, Water, Grass, and others have changed.

CoH won't recognize my PhysX card

Well I was on Freedom all last night and had no issues at all (other than my own internet going down once).

I don't know what was happening yesterday for Niviene to post this.. but by the time I got home at 9pm Eastern.. I assumed it was fixed.

[ QUOTE ]
Fixed

Yeah I wish I would have recorded a video too though. This was so funny.

*I created an AE mission with just the drones and two of us herded together a large group of them and killed them (there is currently a bug that makes them explode several times after being defeated, instead of just once)

b00000m! lol

Just for the heck of it.. I made an AE mish with just the drones..

a couple tanks, and a large mob.. it's 4th of july really early... so much fun! haha

try removing the playerslot.txt file from your \City of Heroes\account_name\ directory

New issue.. never know if old bugs crop back up again.

[ QUOTE ]
Long story short, this stupid TF is probably bugged after the new issue. Bah!

More to come tomorrow. I'm tired now

[/ QUOTE ] We /petitioned and a couple of us got official response back that it's bugged and they are working on it.

It sucks to go out on a 3 team failure.. but Luna and Phanta hit 50 tonight! Woot! lol

Looks like I came back kinda late.. Glad you got it got it working though!

I'll still be here every week, and willing to lead a team.

As for what character to bring... I don't think I'm making a new one. I might actually work on some of the other low ones I have already. Maybe I'll finally do something with my PB and WS that have been sitting around for ages. lol

[ QUOTE ]
MoSTF would be nice, but I need toxic spider badge so if we can kill as many of those possible in the 1st works too.

But either works for me.

[/ QUOTE ] One of these days maybe we can set up an STF farm for the Mu Guardian and Toxic Tarantulas... but let's skip it for tonight.

Will I get an award when my post-count exceeds Turg's? He's got the highest count between everybody in the thread so far... but a couple more days in the Tech Issues and Player Questions forums should fix that. lol

As I tell the IRON crew on our boards: It's not about how much you say something, it's what you actually SAY that distinguishes you.

(Heh. Maybe THAT'll keep his post count down so I win the boards posting ladder...)

[/ QUOTE ] LoL. Well the problem is I have too much time on my hands and spend most of my online time in the Player Questions and Tech forums instead of actually playing the game! That's why Phanta is pretty much the only character I've leveled since February! haha

Oh man.. I really do need to get out of here. lol

Yeah, now that I think of it... IIRC, they added in some kind of character limit on the critter descriptions. The problem is, some of the default foes have descriptions that are longer than that, so you'd have to edit it to add them to your mission.

Not sure if that's your problem too, but its something to look out for either way.

What Zloth said, and I'll add: There's another thread discussing using PingPlotter Freeware and the server's addresses. Do a search for PingPlotter, you'll find it. Use that to ping the servers and you'll probably find that your upsettitude is not to be directed at NCSoft, but at some quirky lil ISP's backbone server you're being forced to jump through. Perhaps trying a different, west (or east, depending) server would alleviate the issue... at which time you'll verify it's the route to the server, not the server itself, that's the cause.


[/ QUOTE ]

Do you have a list of the ip's for CoH servers (US)? or a quick way to find out (or both)?

You used too many <> commands, they were incorrect, and/or you have too many characters in that text field. Check your syntax and/or shorten the content.

BTW.. I love the irony of the thread title (exceeding the character limit and getting cut off) lol

Welcome to the forums & thank you for posting in my thread!

BTW.. ROFL.. I just noticed Alt's "Location: Phailville" when I was looking at post counts.

I see you are using Alienware. That almost always has some kind of skinning program running. See if you can locate and disable it.

Also, it looks like the registry is a little messed up. I don't know if that's because you havn't gotten fully into the game yet, or it didn't install correctly to begin with.

Try this registry installation file: http://download.cityofheroes.com/US/CoH_NA_Setup.exe
(It the basic US CoH installation, without all the *pigg files.. It doesn't redownload anything, just installs/fixes the registry quick and easy)

That seems to happen if you are running any of the Windows Skinning programs. Try disabling them and try again.

If that isn't it, post a CoH Helper and Hijack This report so we have more info to try to help you.

In the case of upgrading for other games and future potential.. then I'd say it's worth the investment. (especially when referring to the "has to run the way it was made to be played" scenario. I'm guilty of that also. lol)

*scrolls up* WTH do you people do with your day that you all jam-pack in so fast? I saw UP in 3D today, shopped, took care of the ailing dog, went to a BBQ, and I come back to see THIS?

Sign me down for the Saturday run. Supreme Soviet, bots/traps. Granted, you're running a bit heavy that night...

[/ QUOTE ] I worked until a little after 5pm... came home... ate some of my Half-Moon cake.. and posted. Then had dinner, watched a movie.. slotted Phanta-Rad with some new enhancements for tomorrow, and here I am again.. lol
