    You can PM me if you prefer.
    try resting your modem and router.

This, at the very least, allows the player to redeem some value from the "old" enhancement . . .
    i'm eh on that, as you can use io's and never have them go old. of course you could always do a respec to get rid of all the old so's you have to get value for them.
  3. the game has used 1-1.5 gig for me since i started playing in aug 07. nothing out of the norm. that is why it is recommended to have at least 2 gigs of ram.

    make sure you don't have caps locks on?
  5. contact support. it is definately your end and not the games. might even be so much as changing your graphics settings. open in safe mode and see what happens.
  6. my thoughts would be return the monitor and get a 19" widescreen if that is what you want.

    Heck I've even deleted low level characters because I'm not happy with their costume and don't feel like walking to a tailor.

    I really wish that we could have one powerset swap on a toon. I wouldn't even object if it was a one time thing, restricted to a fairly low level ... say 10 or so ...

    I know full well the Devs don't want to allow powerset respecs, and I understand why, but it'd be nice if it was permisable at the lower levels ...
    absolutely not. and the amount of time it would take to get another toon to lv 8 is so short i don't even think you would notice. the devs have clearly stated this is something they do NOT want. that is what we can make alts for. and believe me, you wont lose your name with the way toon can be made now. make that first then do the powers and stuff.
  9. have you done a modem and router reset yet? if not try that. and if i were you i would get rid of noton and get a different anti virus program like avast or avg.
  10. or if you have the disc you could go from there.

    bugs with drops

    the drop rates were bugged when i16 came out but have been fixed since then. infact they seem to match what they were prior to i16. but if you feel that that isn't enough you can run AE missions and get tickets and roll for set recipes.

    I've just thought of something brilliant, though. What if we got all the people who post saying the game is empty together? They could form their own supergroup and blame each other for ducking out of team-ups and TFs instead!
    i think that would be an awesome idea.

    ..and also,I see having this power as kind of fitting because you are basically the ones making the dummies talk(Just like any of a Mastermind pets),as though you were a Ventriloquist for them.
    would never work letting people choose their own pet types either. and we are going to be getting a new mm type either for GR or right after.
  14. all i can suggest is to contact support at this point. other then what i've suggested i'm not sure what to do. but it is a safe bet that it is your side causing the problem. might even be that your fire wall protection is set to high or virus protection setting to high.

My simple solution, if possible, is to combine some servers.
    Highest average online + lowest
    2nd high + 2nd low
    3rd high + 3rd low
    4th high + 4th low
    5th high + 5th low
    Of course I would settle for combining down to seven servers for now and see if things maybe pick up when its easier to get teams. Because from 10 to 5 is a big leap but something must be done. Please do not rely on "Going Rogue"

    I realize I might be the only one who liked patrol.
    This is just an idea, please don't get mad.
    Abso-*******-lutely not. the amount of chaos that would cause would be insurmountable and the game would not last that long after. no one wants to street sweep anymore because of the reasons that fleeting described.

    okay you're entitled to you're opinion but you are very rude and you must think 100 is a big number (can you count to it?). And most people do think the servers are down i cant log on without people talking about how dead it is and thats in AP on Freedom on friday night.
    ok. just so you know, personal attacks are against forum rules. i find it very funny that you can not find a team on freedumb on a friday night. especially since today is thursday. and if you were talking about last friday night, i had to decline at least 15 invites/tells. that isn't to shabby to me considering that that was within 1 hr's time. and incase you didn't know, the halloween event is going on now and most people are on their 50's in a level appropriate zone knockin on doors and killin ****.

    join global channels, use sg/coalition chat to form teams and global friend the people you play with.
  16. go to the news and announcements thread or paragonwiki. on the wiki you have to search halloween and pick the halloween 09 event.

    My main point is that we need stalker/scrapper specific def sets that dont scale down from brutes and tanks to make a lousy secondary...
    the only 2 def sets that i can think of that tanks/brutes have that scraps/stalks have is shields(scrappers only and they got that at the same time as tanks/brutes) and sr(which was given to brutes/stalkers at the same time. scraps had it first and tanks never had it.) a tank set is built with higher numbers for survivability because they don't have a high damage output. a scrappers secondary sets are lower because they put out more damage. same for a brute/stalker. please, at this point, shut your mouth and walk away. you show you know very little about what you are talking about in this and your other thread and you refuse to back up any of your statements with actual data(numbers).

    Anyway, this got my mind racing. What if....

    Will there ever be a system in place that allows a character to respec into new powersets? Now, I am not simply saying one should be able to simply repec from stone armor to willpower or nrg melee to superstrength without penalty or consequence. And I am definitely not suggesting the ability to trade AT's. What I am saying is there would need to be a system in place to prevent any sort of exploitation and not cause our devs too many headaches.

    .... what if.... (and please don't flame me too severely... I am simply imagining, "what if?")

    __________________________________________________ __________________________
    (Level 50 player approaches Elite Respecification Arbitor.....)

    Player - "Arbiter, I would like to change my disciplines."

    Arbiter - "Do you realize the significant consequences of this request? Lord Recluse will have both our heads if finds out about this!"

    Player - "Yes I do sir?"

    Arbiter - "Return to me after completing your assigned tasks."


    (Player returns after completing arduous tasks....)

    Arbiter - "You have completed my tasks. Very good. Very good indeed. Are you sure you wish to continue your power restructuring?"

    Player - " I am certain."

    Arbiter - "Very well. Your level has changed from lvl 50 to lvl 1. You may keep your earned accolades. All inventions and power enhancements on your person will be sold to the black market for fair market value. Please choose your new power sets and be gone... as to not draw too much attention to my operation."
    __________________________________________________ _________________________

    I know this is HIGHLY unlikely. However, my example would not be considered exploitable because players taking advantage of this would be taking MASSIVE penalty. These "level 1's" would be at square one just like any other new toon, with the obvious exception of earned accolades and any ammassed fortune. (No doubt these would help, but who doesn't give their lowbies a boost of infamy/influence from a lvl50 anyway? And you already DID earn those accolades!)

    RP'ers could use this if, say for instance, their big bad brute is going soft and heading to Atlas Park to clean up the streets with a new identity and set of powers when GR is released.

    People like me, who wouldn't mind keeping an old brute around, but only if we could change from that energy melee to something fresh and exciting.... say for instance claws! =)

    Just something to make you go.... hmmmmmm
    Have fun all... that's why we play!
    this is going to sound very rude, but... after seeing this pop up at least 1 time a month...

    abso-*******-lutely not. no no no no no no nooooo, and no. never. ever. ever. ever. that is why we can make new toons and are encouraged to do so.

    also, learn to search before making anymore posts about this idea or any idea in general.

    I would like the Devs to serioulsy review this option because i have been wanting this for years now.

    Please provide feedback and suggestions as the more we ask, beg and rebel for change to more apt it is to occur.



    What if you could use the existing "choose build" option to be allowed to change your secondary **OR** primary powerset only. (one or the other, not both :P )

    Perhaps it could be incorporated into a "perk" upgrade, like the magic, wedding, science ect perks.

    Maybe after the purchase a new contact could be placed on the map to do a powerswap of secondary powers, maybe pending a mission arc of some sort.

    I Think it is penalty enough to loose all your Slotting Hancers especially if you have IO's.

    I would buy it even if the Perk Upgrade cost $15.00!

    After all you are only able to choose 2 builds so exploits could only go so far, if at all.


    Perhaps this could become unlockable content at a certain lvl, like 25, 30, 40, or yet another Perk of becoming lvl 50.

    I think it would be cool to be able to get to 50 and have the chance to "Master" different powersets. It would add to the enjoyment of getting and playing my 50's.


    **New Contact Dialog Box at 50** Congrats your character has reached lvl 50, a new contact is now available to further your abilities. Arc content and contact info text inserted into pop up tab.


    Like i said i would be happy to even pay for such an option. This idea could rake in yet more cash, or much needed cash because it seems that not only is the content lacking at 50 but players are becoming.....distant from COX more and more.

    Please incorporate this!!!


    abso-*******-lutely not. no no no no no no nooooo, and no. never. ever. ever. ever. that is why we can make new toons and are encouraged to do so.

    maybe you should do those then since they are things you haven't done. and i highly doubt you have gone through( and i know i'll get yelled at for saying this) all the AE content that is dev's choice or HoF.

    and you may be waiting forever for a hollaween event. while you are we will be enjoying our halloween event.
  22. try updating your video drivers. there has been at least 1 new driver since your last. make sure that you save it to desktop instead of running it. then remove current video drivers your running. then instal new driver. this might help. have you also done a disc clean up and defrag? also might want to reset your modem and router.
  23. i think playing around with numbers a little and getting a good balance to it would make it a decent set. maybe the power that would need to be added is a auto +15% resistance/+5% def. it would grant both and cap around 28-30% resist and 12-15% def? that way you can take a little damage and knock some foes down before going down yourself to.
  24. post a CoH Helper report and Hijackthis report. then we can see what may be causing this.
