Master-Blade

Somehow, I managed to get 2 of them going this afternoon, but I'm certainly up for more any time. I'm headed out to dinner now, but will be back later tonight!

Thanks you all again!

TY Gen, but... I still have more badges!

TY Philly!.. And Turg and Vex and everybody again!

Rox, you can haz cake 2.

I know all about that already.. unfortunately. I was thinking more of something else that makes noise. lol

PHAIL! lol Thanks man.

If it's something you can hear.. I don't know if you'd want to be around.. haha j.k

Thanks again everybody! Any chance we can get some RWZ raids going to celebrate? *wink wink. lol

I got the same thing a first, and thought it was my Router blocking the results, but then I clicked "Learn More" and installed the Java Runtime Environment, and then it worked just fine.

It turns out I don't have the latest patch installed, so I couldn't get into the game to change the sound options, so I did it from the registry instead, and ran it again:
There certainly is a dramatic improvement, but with such a gimped system, it's no surprise that getting rid of an entire category of instruction would improve performance. lol

There ya go then. The game only creates and references the account-personalized files if that option is checked.

Is everything working correctly now?

I'll run it on my laptop in a little while. That should slow things down a bit.. if it even runs at all. I'll probably have to restart between each run, just to make it doesn't skew the numbers. lol

Globetrotter is already a badge, awarded for visiting the location under the Globe in RV... but it does sound cool to have a globe-themed exploration/accolade of some kind. In this case, it could unlock some cool dribble emote or spinning a ball on your finger or something. haha

Patrol XP caps at 10 bars for each character. If you mouse-over your XP-bar, it will tell you the exact value (providing you have tooltips turned on).

0-11 is the first page
12-23 is 2nd page
24-25 would be 3rd page

In my example, it shows my Hero toons From freedom on the first page, then my villain toons on the second page. Those extra line breaks inbetween sections are in the actual file, and do nothing but provide me with easier editing. The game skips right over them when it reads the file.

I separated each server as well, and Champion's list is separated Hero/Villain on the first page as 0-5/6-11. This is my own personal preference, and you can sort yours however you wish, but the point is that the file still works when used correctly.

Note that you DON'T have to put the toons in any kind of order when you make your list. As long as the toon's name, server name, and the position is there, it will put that toon in that position on that server. In fact, I believe the game's original file shows the list in reverse. I just re-order it for the ease of re-editing later.

Even though the "problem was fixed", I still prefer to lock the file anyway. I don't want to take the chance of an accidental drag adding more unneeded lines or a future bug ruining my file.

Here goes nothing..

Attempt #1 using my regular settings:
Attempt #2 after changing both in-game sound sliders to 0:
Edit:
I was switching back and forth to a couple of things while the first attempt was playing, so I ran it again...

Attempt #3 after changing back to my regular sound settings:
I don't see any significant difference, but maybe the numbers mean more to you.
I dunno. There it is anyway.

Well, if you clean it up a bit and defrag the memory being used, it will usually increase performance. When the system tries to read/write to little bits and pieces of free space scattered all over the drive, it can take considerably longer.

In my case, I bought a bunch of copies of CoV when it was on clearance for $5 each. This was back before I knew you could only add a retail code once for the free 30 days, so I ended up giving away a couple as gifts, and made accounts out of the rest. I used the secondary account to help promote my own toons in my SG, to help store some items in a secondary storage SG (before we had personalized permissions), and to help myself do heal-farms overnight.

Yeah, I have heard of it acting funny too at times. Either way, I thought it was worth mentioning in case somebody tries to upgrade both accounts on the same day and gets denied.

Commonly referred to as the "Matrix Room", and since it's not intended for us to go there, I doubt they'd put a badge there. I did feature that room in one of my earlier calendars last year though:

On a side note, the Monkey Island underground door glitch is not the only way to get there. There is at least one hole in the "border" of the map that allows you to pass through it and swim far enough until there isn't any more water and then fly back under it to the Room's location. It actually takes about the same amount of time to get there, but without having to relog. Also, if somebody is already there, they can just TP others there, but be careful.. you CAN get in trouble for TPing people there, especially if it's without their knowledge and/or if they don't have a TP power or Ouro portal to get back out of it on their own.

On another side note, the underground/hidden door trick works in a few other zones too.
