  1. Trapdoor is difficult? Really?

    I solo'd him on my Ill/Emp. What difficulty were you running on, JAnlee?

    I would expect my Defender to have a tougher time, but she just doesn't pump out the damage, so it will be a long, drawn-out affair. Holtz shouldn't prove too difficult on her, but the Weakened Honoree... ugh.
  2. Huh, odd. My character was so powerful that I found the echos to be beneath my notice, much less to waste my time pounding them into the platform.
  3. The game does not create a 'sound' folder.

    When a user creates their own as described in the How to silence specific game sounds thread, those sound files will take precedence over the in-game sounds.

    See A note on viewing pigg files.

    There was a website that had a big list of the names used for sounds, but it appears to have been taken down.
    <waves at StarGeek>

    Zombie Man compiled a list of the sound file names and their folders here. As far as I know, this is not a complete list, but ones that were mentioned in the thread to date.

  5. Well, this would be bad.
  6. First things first. People with the knowledge to help you are going to ask for you to run CoH Helper and then to copy and paste the log report in here. That will give them the info on your system, as well as game setting.

    Hopefully the problem can get resolves quickly.
  7. I've always had really good luck with the Mods and with Customer Service. Though I doubt CS ventures onto the forums, it's good to hear people giving them kudos.

    I PM'd my story to TheOcho (still just Moderator 08 at the time) to pass on my praise to the appropriate department, because I know when you're working in the field it's good to hear those words form the people you've helped.

    ^^This

    I solo'd Holtz and the Weakened Honoree on my Illusion/Emp Controller and she doesn't have a single complete set slotted and has a handful of Procs. It took a couple of rez's while tackling Holtz, and again with Honoree. A little frustrating at first, but this wasn't meant to be a simple task. Take it to -1/x1 if you need to, but I don't think this mission needs to be changed in the least.

    As for the portals? If you can, get a hold of some if you can, confused portals will spawn confused Rikti and they will attack each other and the portals.

    Also, if you have access to an SG, make judicious use of the Empowerment Station.

    I19 live bugs

    That's probably what prevented me from getting anything other than "Shove off." from Ramiel on my main last night. While she had only 1 tip mission, I know she had quite a few active minor and at least one major story arc contact up.
  10. And from the PvP forums:

  11. Someone in Player Questions mentioned this as well.

    They were in RV. Is this the same zone you and your buddy were in?

    I know some friends and I were in Bloody Bay last night gathering Shivans and we recall getting drops.

    From PQ thread:

    Heip PVP Broken

    Is this happening in all the PvP zones?

    And what about the Arena?

    Inquiring minds want to know.
  13. I think it depends on what kind of hero/villain costumes you want to sew and the types of material, as well as the kind of functions you want.

    I personally do not sew, but my best friends mother is a textiles rep, so I can ask her what she thinks, the above info would be helpful.

    You have to actually got to your accounts details, where it lists your Veteran Rewards.

    You should see this...

    This is the only game I've ever played that I feel is worthy of the $15/month I pay (plus the cost of all the boosters), and it's due to this that I want to support them as best I can*, which I've done so far by keeping two accounts active...

    ... But, I think I'm gonna go ahead and switch my main account over to the year-plus-two-free-months plan this go 'round, while keeping my second account on the month-to-month plan in case I ever get strapped for cash (like I did when I got bumped down to part-time for 3 months) and have to cancel something.

    *That said, I'm not buying the Party Pack. Bad marketting department, no cookie!
    Funny thing is, I'm on the annual pay plan and my monthly cost still averages out to $17/mo because of the Booster Packs*. So I'll be signing on for their bonus plan on Monday and it will go into effect somewhere around October.

    And just so you folks know, it doesn't take that payment out now (well for some it might,) it charges you when your plan renews.

    (*Except for the Party Pack, at 50% off, it's still twice what I'm willing to pay.)
  18. Besides, 'Dark Hunter' is likely a name that would be coveted. It's simple and has a very comic book feel to it.

    They may or may not offer free server transfers during the holiday, I don't use it much, but I hope it becomes a holiday standard. If you can wait that long, I'd suggest DarkGob's idea above. Don't forget to go to the tailor and save your costume(s) and powers, it makes for an easier and quicker recreation.

    Thank you.
    Well, you've not provided a bio for Dark Hunter. May I suggest that instead of being a descriptor for what he is, why not alter it to what he does...

    Just an idea.

    And welcome back.
  20. Happy Turkey Day, EnnVee and to everyone else in the CoH community.

The whole process takes less than ten seconds and they're usually gone within a couple of minutes.

    BTW, Tony, mind if I link to your post in general chat from time to time? As PSAs go, it's a pretty good one.
    Quinch, could you be so kind as to post that macro?
  22. Didn't Paragon Studios/NCsoft, during one of the recent promotions add a 'Buy Now' button to the Login Screen that basically bypassed the stores IP restrictions?

    I think it was the GR Pre-Purchase... maybe...

This is essentially an internal management problem for your guild, and is neither a bug nor abuse. Therefore, there's nothing the GMs will do about it."

    Yep.

    The GM's here will also not intervene, as the character was invited to the SG, and therefore had permission to access what's in it.

    Rank Restricted Access was added to storage for a reason, people should get to using it. Or not blindly invite everyone to an SG.

    For peoe who would rather pay NOW and not when your billing is up, you can cancel, resub, and choose a one-time paypal payment as your method - it will snag that money asap.

    Edit:
    I could be wrong though. If it was like previous promotions of this type, if you had a lot of game time you cancelled your current type of subscription, selected the new offer, then you'd pay when your current amount of time expired.
    Glad to see that Black Pebble cleared this up, but I for one, never had to cancel my sub to get the new offer.

    And considering this statement in the original announcement...

    ...it looks as if you will lose any free months you may have due to previous promotions, if you cancel your current plan.
  25. Congratulations, Tartyr!

    I've been wondering where you've gotten yourself off to.
