The run animation is designed to look good from behind. Well for female model the huge and male look awful from any direction. Also when the body is doing anything but standing still the neck stretches oddly which IMO looks awful.

But I seem to recall reading that the various animations in game were done from scratch rather than mapping an actors actual motion. That might be a nice upgrade to see and make the whole thing look better.

sorted the problem, seems it was to do with one of the supporting utility apps causing the issue

Care to go into a little more detail?

Okay trying Win7 (Build 7100). CoH got to the login screen with the default graphics drivers but the images was badly shown (too bright). Went to Nvidia page and got latest drivers, now it won't get to the login screen. Want to try the 185 drivers to see if that fixes the issue but keep getting sent to the 186 drivers. Where is the 185 downloadable from?

For future reference, MB/sec and Mb/sec aren't the same. The small b means bits, the capital B means bytes, and there are 8 bits in one byte. Hard drives, RAM, and USB keys are measured in bytes, while broadband is advertised in bits. ...Don't ask, it's a marketing thing.

[/ QUOTE ]
It isn't a marketing thing. Data transmission/bandwidth is measured in Bits because each bit is a single on/off signal. The digital signal you receive data through is an on/off signal, thus describing how many of those on/off signals you can receive/send in a second is the correct manner. Byte is generally a measurement of storage.

As for OP, I play three accounts at once over a sub 1MB line.

Are you renaming them before saving them?

As in you do the recoloring, click next then save straight after?

Because that always crashes me too. If on the 2nd screen you add a new name (can be same as old name) it doesn't crash and works fine.

Begining to think the forums have already merged and we haven't noticed. Its what two weeks now with no moderator interaction. Either they're off using the real forums or they've all been sacked.

TBH while I'm getting to be less a fan of GG as time goes by, especially after certain comments in DE.

But you are rapidly gaining the same level of annoyance. You say you hate what she is doing to these threads but then do exactly the same. Either stop posting replies and just report her or get down of your donkey.

Great, more hero whining!
Enough with the vanguard zonings... It's ok as it is! You (devs) know you'd just mess it up, and all of a sudden you'd have to take down the servers because someone found another beautiful exploit!

QR?

Other wise I have no idea what you mean.

This game isn't Marvel though, best off waiting for their MMO and play that to create Marvel characters.

And I have no idea what your suggestion is about, TBH. Greater Poly counts would be great for all character models and would make all models look better/sexier (I think). But I don't think there is any lack of sexiness on the female model. Be nice if you could drop the breast slider further to create more androgynous models but that is a different issue.

Personally I feel that from a strickly Town Planning angle the profusion of MA buildings makes no sense.
If you think of it like an Imax Cinema then you would not expect to find it in every zone of the game.
A more logical approach would be to situate them in existing major enterainment hubs of the city.

For the Rogue Isles the most sensible would be St. Martial as its already a major entertainment hub and Cap Au Duable as its the most like a downtown CBD and also a media hub.

For Paragon city I would say that Steel Canyon is a major CBD and thus warrents one and so does Talos Island.

As a dedicated enterainment zone i think Pocket D is the most logical place to have a neutral one, it should be its own attached shard like the Ski Lodge.

If you have to have one in the RWZ make it a room in the base rather than out in the zone - hey Rikti, what to kill a load of heroes on one hit? nuke the AE building :P

Vets who have half a clue about aggro radius should have zero trouble getting to one of those places.

The MA contact should only contact you once you get to lvl 15.

I case you were wondering I work for Architects

^^This.

And remove auto-sk.

Fixed.

For once i dont want the zone redone. Its nice to have a hazard zone in the 30 - 40 range where the mob spawn sizes are far too high.

Take a level 30 warshade in there and its like heaven!

CF is huge with little purpose. If you knocked down about a third of it and turned it into a separate PvP zone. The remainder of CF would need a little rejigging but would remain much the same.

Trying to test an MA arc intended for teams, but I'm solo.

Suggestion: On the testing (Architect Options) allow the ability to set difficulty of next mission and the number of characters on the team. Thus adjusting spawns based on that.

[/ QUOTE ]
I posted that this was needed during I14 beta. Still needed so signed.

And though it's a different suggestion I've also wanted min/max team sizes, as Sorudo seems to want. Be good for doing a true TF-style arc that requires a team and for solo challenges.

[/ QUOTE ]

For required team missions we got SF's and TF's, as a usual solo player I /unsign this.

But if the original OP just wants to see how would the spawns show on a team, its ok to me

[/ QUOTE ]
That was my intention.

I think they idea of doing it in 'live' missions would be far too easy to exploit, and while it could remove the need for filling to increase spawns it would just bust open the partially shut barn doors once again re the whole farming thing.

Speaking as a successful dual-box farmer, actually automagically filling a mission with 6-8 man spawns without a 6-8 man team; and then duoing the lot would be a huge advantage for me.

Sorry to see you're leaving. Good luck and hope you return some time.

also sorry that your leaving thread degenerated into a spat but such is the natire of the interwebs

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't think it did... it was incipient but stopped rather quickly.

Course we could start arguing about it now and make it into a traditional leaving thread?

Damn...

Oh well back to drawing board.

Ah well that wasn't what I was suggestion. Setting the teams size merely for testing spawns, so that as a soloist I can write missions for teams that are still doable, without actually have to have a team to test it.

Fixed for you.

Hmm no idea how I did it before... However if you're trying to get a friend into the game try this instead:

http://eu.cityofheroes.com/en/community/refer_a_friend/

Not only do they get a trial that works on the EU side of thing but if they then signup you get a months free play time.

Plus if you go to the other Trial link the link just leads back to the normal page.

Worked fine for me.

Just looked now and it seems to be a different creation system. The one I use you sign up for master account then apply for a trial account which is applied to master account. Totally different to what I just did then to test it.

Is it just the game or the whole machine?

Sounds like it could be heat or possibly power. My 2nd PC had same issue and I needed to upgrade PSU (well swap out with one that worked better).

If it is whole machine I'd suggest making sure the air flow inside is easy (for GPU & CPU) so neither will overheat.

For power try swapping the PSU out for something with a gretaer Wattage output rating eg 350w to 600w.

Inf is also Infamy which you'd know if you paid attention.

edit:

Oh and my 3rd account has no vet badges yet... but can't really be considered a newbie or especially poor.

Go to Atlas park and divide it up among all the players who have no vet badges

And see you in an Issue or two

Two things:

1)Hes a villain so getting to AP would be difficult.

2)I would have thought that by now you might have realised that telling everyone who leaves that you will see them in an issue or two while possibly true is not the best way to comment on one of these threads. With or without smilie. As it just causes said threads to degenerate rapidly into either spam or flame war. Please don't or do it through PM.

Does Team Teleport Work with Phantom Army?

Not sure why you want a testing option to increase spawn sizes/levels to adequately test a mission but if that's what you want...

Trying to test an MA arc intended for teams, but I'm solo.

Suggestion: On the testing (Architect Options) allow the ability to set difficulty of next mission and the number of characters on the team. Thus adjusting spawns based on that.

I'd like an option to be added to advanced mission details that allow you to set a short timer, plus maybe ambushes for that timer that can be activated after completing an existing objective.

Eg

Objective: Plant Bomb

Objective Added (popup like salvage found)

Objective: Escape before detonation

It would be nice if some conclusions other than mission fail could be added too. A debtless defeat (eg like Hess TF ending) would be nice too.

Specifically want this for an arc where I have to defeat a boss. I want the boss to either set a self destruct sequence going or summon in his allies when you defeat him making the mission harder without using near impossible custom bosses.
