It's actually quite easy to imagine a story reason for this. The void seekers want to eliminate anyone who is or has had contact with the Khelds, for example. -
Quote:If I remember the story for the SoAs correctly, You've pretty much giving Arachnos the finger the whole time anyway. Though, I could be remembering wrong.Originally Posted by Organica
My War Shade is a vigilante. ^_^ And I've teamed with heroic (or at least, roguish) SoA.
The SoA one seems especially odd to me... Soldiers of Arachnos... who are good guys. Mind you, the very idea behind an SoA character is he's already breaking free from what's expected of him, so maybe it's not so weird. But it would be fun if they had Arachnos agents/assassins hunting them hero-side the same way Quants and Voids hunt khelds. After all, I'd think Recluse would be a little miffed at them running around Paragon in their Arachnos armor/outfits. ^_^ -

All very good answers, I thank all of you. I was debating on downgrading from Vista back to xp because it would use less memory, and at the back of my head is that huge download time. I guess I'll just have to pony up the cash and buy more RAM.

Quote:You've already downloaded several bits and pieces of it, the new powersets, some of the new enemies have even been seen in game through various bugs. They break down the downloads as much as they can to ease the launch day download. They will likely have a pre-download when you log out at some point close to launch, since everyone will have to download the new files to keep everyone on the same client whether they have the expansion applied to their account or not.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, but I'm curious - how long will it take to download this digital copy of going rogue? Obviously, it will depend on dsl/cable connection and such, but I would hate to get this digital copy, and then find myself waiting for 12-14 hours, when I could buy a cd that could install it much faster.
Just looking for a rough guess. -
I regularly use my iPhones 3g connection to play, It's actually more reliable and less likely to lag out than my friends AT&T Uverse connection. OP You'll be more than fine on your connection.

Quote:I picked up a bunch of codes from Amazon a while back and was unable to apply the basic CoH and CoV codes even though they had never been applied before. When I made an inquiry with support I was told it was "Because they wouldn't add any in game features or goodies" So, I would assume that at this point, since they've merged the game into one entity from a back end standpoint, applying a CoV code would not work since you've got the game already going.Originally Posted by MrNoj
Has anyone tried the above? If not, I'm going to have to try a regular CoV code on my account. If it doesn't work, I know someone who could use it. Even if it doesn't work and I can't give the code away afterwards, it's no big loss. I'd really like to get all of the codes possible applied to my account... bonus items and extra months are nice.
Give it a shot, if it doesn't apply to yours you can still give it to your friend since the code won't have been successfully applied to an account.
edit: Hell, I've still got around 4 or 5 unused codes from the normal editions and the bootleg edition. -
So, my search-fu is fairly weak today for some reason.
I've got a Necro/Pain that's sitting at 50 that I leveled FOREVER ago and never play outside of logging him in to move his day job location and maybe a minimal RP session. I love the character, his story, role playing with him, all of that stuff. The problem? Actually playing him is the most boring experience I've had in game, EVER. He was my third Mastermind taken to 50, so I'm not lacking experience there, but I have to say the entire time I was playing him I was bored out of my skull. I only went through with it because I wanted to have him at 50 because he's the praetorian version of my Emp/Rad Defender, so I needed him there for story reasons.
I think the problem that I've got is that I have it in my head he's a buffer/healer like the Defender he mirrors, but I just can't seem to get my mind out of that niche for the character, even when I work on a respec for him I end up in the same spot.
I really REALLY want to love playing this character as much as I love the character himself, I just can't seem to do it. What I'm looking for is some playstyle advice and maybe a few moderate cost builds to toy with and tweak into something my own. I have somewhere between 750m and 1b or so to spend on a good build once I find one that plays like I think he should.
I have Masterminds of all flavors, a well rounded Bots/Dark, a Thugs/Storm damage machine, and a Bots/FF Tankermind. I'm well aware of the varying playstyles with Masterminds. I'm just at a loss when it comes to this Necro/Pain and were he fits.
Thanks for any advice/info you can provide! -
Keep in mind, that's a two hour recharge. The best use i've found for it is TPing to different zones, it's pretty much wasted using it in the same zone. Although, that could just be because I'm conservative with long recharge powers like that one, saving it for Task Forces and missions in the shadow shard.
Though, I do occasionally use it when i'm feeling lazy to get to other zones. I've often found myself calling a contact in Cim or the the Rikti war zone to get a mission and using it to get there from zones that are more than one-off. -

It's in the cut scene in the ITF now, it changes angles and there's a nictus puff-ball floating that enters Roms body through that beam that hits him in the chest when he becomes nictus. A common theory is that whoever his actual master is is talking through the nictus that merges with him. -
This one is still my favorite of the two of them fighting. Mainly because I hate Statesman.

Quote:If you're running on multiple machines at once there's a program called Octopus out there that will allow you to send keystrokes to all of them at once, that's one of the programs a lot of us used to multi-box WoW.Originally Posted by Jawbreaker
I run two on my one rig at the moment.
One thing I am attempting to do is run them both on different rigs, but still be able to fire off commands for both with one keystroke. I use this
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2006/06/4273.ars
instead of a keyboard for all non-chat commands. I am going down to a local shop that makes custom cables to see if they can make me a splitter so i can use the Fang controller on both rigs. If it works, should be freaking swell.
Dual-Boxing.com has a ton of information and tips for multi-boxing on their forums. The Software and Tools section has the software and walkthroughs on setting it up.
edit: I don't know how well Octopus works for CoH. I want to say I've tried it at one point, but I just don't remember. I don't use any multi-boxing software for CoH because I play both instances on one machine, so I just click between windows. -
Quote:This is pretty much all there is for Kinetic Melee so far, that I'm aware of anyway.Originally Posted by Sam_Sneed
I saw that Electric Control and Kinetic Melee are in the pipeline. Is there any information, pics, or even just threads talking about this? Kinetic Melee in particular. Thanks.

All they had for Electric Control was a few screen shots. -
Quote:You posted this in the wrong section for NC or Paragon attention. This section is for players to answer other players. It's rare than anyone official even looks in here, let alone comes in answering threads, especially customer service issues like yours.Originally Posted by Ramon_NA
If you dont work for NCsoft, just ignore this thread. you did not answer my questions.
I dont need someone explan how does NCsoft afterservice work. Thanks you.
I noticed there was a thread earlier that disappeared that said you being in Taiwan may have had something to do with the issue. This may be the case, there are several countries that have issues ordering from the website, however, most of them are in South and Central America.
edit: Ah, it didn't disappear, it was just in the other post you did in the Going Rogue section. And here I thought I was going crazy. -

Quote:I swear sometimes I must be the only person able to recognize a joke on these forums...Originally Posted by flashrains
...So while all other archetype booster packs give you a power with a minor-to-moderate bonus to your effectiveness, you propose that Mutants get a hefty penalty? Game balance says WUT.
Further nonsense: Since only people who buy a booster get the power in it, those who bought the Mutant pack (while of course still able to use its costume parts) would be punished for playing a Mutant by means of the included "power." Those without the pack would be able to play a Mutant character without issue.
Honestly, did you even THINK about that suggestion?

Quote:As soon as you zone out, your portal disappears, It doesn't matter if you use your own or someone elses. the spawner will never get left behind unless he decides to leave the area, it won't close until you go through it, or the timer on it runs out.Originally Posted by Dragon_Feeder
One way to get around this is to have two people open up portals and each use the other one's portal. That way others in the team can also use them and the chance of the spawner being left behind is reduced

Our laison with the EU community will be Landrig.
He has created another N P C channel on that side and we are looking into ways to create and maintain communications between NA and EU mentors. Landrig will also be coordinating activities on the Union server (both sides, I believe) whenever he can.
The website will help, but perhaps we could also get something that responds better in real time.
I'll be translating the ad above in french, and a german version could also be coming soon.
Welcome to the latest mentors: lukewarmdog and Moonlyte.
There is the option, through our outside site, to use live chat. It just opens in a new browser window. I know it isn't the perfect option, but for those of us with multiple monitors, or run in window mode, it wouldn't be anything extra to have that open on the second or third monitor while we're available.
