You're really hopeful and I admire that. Considering how long this has been going on though...you think they are going to fix it?

Sam, you are a fine poster and a worthwhile read, which is all the more impressive given that English (which is difficult to learn and a harsh mistress thereafter!) is not your native tongue.
I agree with you. No, it is not game-shattering and we are not leaving. It is just tough to follow a lot of the time, which is a shame, because we can miss out on some good dialogue. Especially irksome with authors like Troy Hickman, when you really want to read what they wrote.
Hopefully, this will get fixed. -

I scanned around and even used the search, but didn't find the other threads (or else I wouldn't have posted this question).
I really hate the forum search feature (which has never worked for me)
I am pretty astounded by this power. The Devs have really been doing well in so many areas--- this power is a waste of a tray slot.
Here is hoping it gets "patched" in the near future! -

What he said.
This sort of question is the reason the Player Questions forum and the Help channel exist.
It would really be different if the Search function for the boards was first-rate and easily referred you to the already-posted answer, but need I go on?
It takes as much effort to post a flame as to just answer the question.
The last question I had to ask on the boards surely must sound idiotic to anyone that knows, but I did not... for whatever reason, up to and including me being an idiot.
I owe a lot of folks a good deal of gaming enjoyment because they answered my stupid questions without noting for the record that the question, and its asker, were therefore stupid. So when I know, I answer the question in Broadcast. If it is not straightforward, ie, "How do I get a cape?", then I will briefly list the requirements and the exceptions, ie, Vet rewards and booster capes, again, briefly.
I ask not for whom the Stupid Bell tolls!
My thanks again to all that have helped me, and to the Wiki authors and maintainers for their services, which debt cannot ever be repaid. -

Go back to where you started. If another exit exists, it will appear on your map.
Have a pint or two on me.
I certainly wish they would say Go Back to Entrance, or something else that does not intimate that there is something you currently do not know about that you must "find." But since when do the Devs listen to me? -
Since I have not lived to find out, what does "Find Mission Exit" mean?
1) Get back to where you came in, or
2) There is an exit you are required to find to successfully complete the mission
At the moment, I have exited the mission via Hospital and it ended, but now I have another.
Thanks for the help! -

I'd really like to be privy to the design process that came up with this turd.
It's like they intentionally set out to create a power that does absolutely nothing. It might was well be an emote. Actually an emote would be more useful, since it wouldn't have a timer.That would spawn a horde of Monkey RP types that would need to be avoided. If you dislike getting pelted with Snowballs during the Winter Event, well...Quote:Originally Posted by Catastrophe
A turd! Now THAT would be a power we could do something with.
I'm part of the "What's the point?" crowd... waiting to hear about some usefulness of the power.
But I must concur--- what the heck is the point of this power?
Samuraiko (Dark_Respite) has said she will be able to "film" in the midst of circumstances she otherwise could not... but that assumes 1) she lives long enough to get there 2) she does not get hit by a stray AoE and 3) the walking NPCs do not bump her.
It is utterly useless as far as I can tell. And indeed, what brainstorming session yielded this?? -

I bought a copy AT a gamestop, but had not preordered it. I got a goodie code, however, on my reciept. It reads as a perk, in addition to the code for GR itself (cc). I certainly hope that I didn't "steal" someone's code, entirely by accident.
I do not begrudge you the code, ZI. If you check out the other threads, HERE and HERE, one of the main frustrations is GameStop randomly asserting in reply emails in essence that we who preordered knowingly took the risk that they would run out of preorder goodies, they have apparently run out, so tough luck. We have been asking for codes to be emailed to us, because in theory, one cannot "run out" of codes... which has led to discussions as to whether that is technically true.
Meanwhile, someone who did NOT preorder is merrily assigned a code that GameStop has asserted that they have run out of.
That is not your fault, and good on you: enjoy the bennies! It just makes the assertion by GameStop that the reason we can't have the codes is that they have none to give, blah blah blah extremely infuriating. -

My thanks for the info.
The answer actually is that the GR disk is only useful for a total install, otherwise, I would copy my own CoH folder over as explained in the link, which does not involve the GR disk. It all comes back to me now.
-
Might someone know, or be able to point me to the thread that would explain using a new Going Rogue disk to avoid having to download files via the updater? Here is the situation:
Some of my family that used to play CoH and dropped out have expressed interest in checking out the game in its current form. They have smilingly said that they WILL check in during the next Reactivate Old Accounts For A Free Weekend event. Problem is, there have been 10 or 11 new issues since then.
If I loan them my brand new Going Rogue Complete Edition disk, how would they get the updated files, assuming they are not doing a total reinstall? Would they simply COPY the files from the disk into their CoH folder?
They realize that unless the Powers That Be include Going Rogue, they will NOT be able to do anything in Praetoria... they are just curious about getting back into Paragon City if it grabs them again.
Alternatively, if someone wanted to do a Trial Account but again, did not want to wait the 87 hours for the download, how would they utilize the disk to avoid that?
I know that somewhere this has been addressed, but while I am an excellent PUG member and teammate, I am lousy at searches. Thanks! -
Many fine memories noted, but let me single out this one:
Quote:Or more.Originally Posted by Olantern
In my early days (late i3),
- There was no "cooperative mission" completion. If you had the same mission as someone else on the team, the team did it twice..
As a newb in the late i3 era, Frostfire was the first really tough villain I encountered, since most of my early teaming experience took place in the Hollows. And Frostfire was TOUGH, what with a Jack Frost and Fire Imps, etc.
So the team just finished the last room with Frostfire, which was an epic battle with some team member casualties. I watched Frosty fade from view and departed. The leader put up the next mission: "Arrest Frostfire."
Dang, that guy made bail faster than anyone I have ever seen.

Quote:I remember the hordes and hordes of Flaming Fire Monkeys attending Fire Controller Superteams. When they would congregate, it was like a Portable Hamidon Raid in terms of lagging my poor computer of the time.Originally Posted by Freem
...However, they could summon three Jack Frosts, three Animated Stones, three singularities... and you prayed to dear god you don't end up teaming with more than 2 fire controllers.
Naturally, the week my first Controller hit 32 and started summoning multiple pets was the week the Nerf Hammer hit and that was that after a few days. But he was an Ice Controller, not a Fire Controller.
So what was the highest number of Imps you old timey Fire Controllers ever got out at once (even if it was for two seconds and then some started keeling over)? -

Yeah, it can get pretty annoying pretty quick.
I have a friend who chants the spell words when he uses Blizzard on his Magic Ice Blaster, but he only does it once per mission. Works for him and his teammatesIn my early months as a Newb, I recruited a PUG using my Ice/FF Controller. We had a Tank, we had a Scrapper... but neither of them would lead off to attack a group. Everyone just stood around. Well, they were tough foes, but I was the Leader and finally had to lead every attack. I preferred to lay Ice Slick from cover, but when that did not work, I had to run in and fire off Glacier and hope I did not die from the Alpha. So I uttered my heroic warcry whenever I had to charge in.Quote:Originally Posted by Demobot
I've been on a team with someone who had a chat bind set up with Nova. It was damned annoying. I don't recommend it.
After about 4 times, the complaints started, so I knocked it off. In retrospect, it dawned on me that repeated phrases should be used like Nutmeg... sparingly. Too much and it ruins the flavor.
Of course, we are all waiting on the day that Sue Storm finally barks, "ENOUGH with all the 'Flame On!' and 'It's Clobberin' Time!' already!!
" but if it were City of Heroes, it would have happened about mid-way through Issue 1 of their comic.
