Somehow I managed to get a gold in both with the Chosen One...no buffs just sprint and SJ, still don't understand how but I'm not gonna argue after the amount of attempts I tried..

And if you find yourself writing "I must use my powers for good" 100 times you'll know which option is right!

Does that mean I get to create Super-Zebra?

Sounds like the samething I'me getting, jsut got myself a nice new PC and couldn't wait to get going on it...sadly I'm getting to the loading screen and then crashing. I'm getting the CoH crash window (where you can type what you were doing as it crashed) this states its a ATIOGLXX.dll problem.

I'm on vista and using an ATI graphics card...looks like I'm gonna have to roll back to XP.....great!!!

Did this ever get sorted? I've just upgraded and now have a lovely fast PC with Vista...which is great, sadly I'm getting the "loading screen" crash too, tried all that was suggested to the OP but no success =( I get the loading screen with the taskbar still sitting there and then get a crash stating the problem is with ATIOGLXX.dll

I do hope it's tomorrow even though im on lates and won't be able to play much.

Warhammer is getting boring already sigh to much like wow. Good job I only paid for a 1 month after my free month ran out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, you deserve a medal for playing so long I got bored after about 10 days and a week of that was spent on holiday!

[ QUOTE ]
Pretty much yeah, and given the winter event starts on Dec 18th, and they'll need a couple of weeks for i13 to bed in, it's extremely likely to be released on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, the 2nd December.

In fact, iirc, they've released on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving before, last year.

[/ QUOTE ]

That was my logic too...but for some reason I said the 9th Dec...perhaps I felt the 2nd was too soon or just the fact I'm destined to always be wrong

Ahhhhhhhh no I just looked back and noticed I said December 9th!! What an idiot...the wife's gonna kill me!!! So certain I said the 2nd too....where's that edit button gone?

[ QUOTE ]
You cant be serious they actualy typed out 'Does Anyone have a wakie?'

Pro-newbs will say 'rez plz' or 'wakie!'.

[/ QUOTE ]

And ask for a tp when standing 200 ft away from the door

[ QUOTE ]
I hope not tomorrow. Still see bugs and there is no new update on test yet.
Hope it will be released when it is ready... not before

[/ QUOTE ]

That never happens anyway, no issue is perfect when it goes live. Always tends to be release now, patch after.

I put down on another thread that it would be tomorrow so I hope so just so I can be right for the first ever time!!!

I'd go Blapper but I tend to use that term for players that think cos their blaster has melee attacks means they ahve to wade into melee.

Blasty sounds like a Bean Pasty to me, I tend to just say blast if I'm referring to myself e.g "lev 32 blast"

[ QUOTE ]

True. I'm in one of my "leave COH alone for a bit so that it seems better when I come back", so right now, this game is getting trounced competition wise by Peggle Nights (or the other games I have on Steam. And after Tuesday, it's going to be L4D all the time; at least until Friday, when MK vs DC comes out and then a couple of weeks later when Prince Of Persia comes out....)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yikes MK is this Friday!! And I've hardly touched Little Big Planet and Guitar Hero...and a couple of other titles...damn CoX stop making me play you!!!! Altho I reckon I'll be having a couple of days off once I get Kroqqy to lev 50

"team?"

What the heck is this supposed to mean?? Are they asking me to define the word, asking for one or asking if I want to join one...

[ QUOTE ]
The book didn't cause anyone to die, as far as I'm aware a book is unable to wield any form of lethal weapon. As always people kill other people, this would happen no matter what.

[/ QUOTE ]

Books dont kill people, madmen do?

My points been proven, as I said people could take offence at an enhancement named after a satanist...different dtrokes for different folks

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
But they were innocent - they weren't doing anything against anyone, so they wern't acting against the interests of any community.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then why were they singled out?

They may have been innocent of making deals with the devil, but they were doing something to upset the balance of the community thus drawing down attention on themselves.

[/ QUOTE ]

Such as simply moving villages into a new community. One bad harvest later - oh that'll be that little hold woman who moved in - WITCH!

I remember one source recorded an event where a woman was nursing another woman after she'd fallen ill, she was seen moving at night collecting medicine/tending to her own family and a few days later the ill woman died...the woman trying to cure her was blamed!

Another one I read was a family scrobbling over inheritance and the children accused their parents of being witches and let them be tortured just for abit of money and land.

Lets not forget there were white witches too who would bless the land...we don't attack those when ToT'ing

[ QUOTE ]
Yea plus its probably that great friend of ours - time. Whilst Italians still exist, those that have any connection to the witch hunts are now gone (well kind of my research into the subject for uni found some pretty frightening contempory stories). I'm sure if I picked a modern female serial killer instead of Elizabeth Bathory I'd probably have been generic'd. Same if someone made a Hitler toon, and 5th Columists got their change due to it being too soon and could cause offence.

The witch hunts however are centuries old altho thousands across Europe lost their lives, I don't think it impacts us as much as something like the holocaust.

[/ QUOTE ]

The "happened a long time ago" angle doesn't really hold up - a crime is a crime, no matter when it happened - it doesn't become less evil as time passes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope but there's less chance of offending, more people would be offended by Nazi's than witch hunters...a game like WAR for instance gives the player a chance to play a witch hunter. People aren't going to turn around and say "but my ancestor was killed by a witch hunter...I'm offended". Perspective is needed, as said earlier we're enlightened and not willing to believe anything just cos it has the words 'God and 'Satan' in it. At the time people were god fearing and believed anything the church told them. This doesn't excuse their actions, but if we look deeper into things then most groups/badges could ahve the chance of offending. A catholic could turn around and say having enhancements named after Crowley is 'horrific'

My thoughts...

[ QUOTE ]

Combat seems to be too slow paced for me. (I'm not comparing this to FPSes, but rather other MMOs). I just stand there waiting for my powers to recharge, which takes quite a few seconds, then use one of them and stand around waiting some more.

[/ QUOTE ]

As others ahve said lev up abit, gain a few powers and this dies off, the early levs can be a little easy and repetitive but thats cos they're easing you into the game.

[ QUOTE ]
Same with the mobs. They attack real slow, and frankly they barely make a dent on my HP, unless I take on high-level mobs.

[/ QUOTE ]

See above

[ QUOTE ]
Seems weird to have 4 mobs beating up on me and my health not budging, while I just stand around waiting to press 1 or 2, every few seconds, to slowly kill them.

[/ QUOTE ]

This again changes as you progress and after fighting certain mobs you'll be wishing your hp would quit budging! The mobs are larger in CoX to reflect the comic book world, how many times have you seen heroes (or villains) battle their way through a group? It reflects the genre.

[ QUOTE ]
Another complaint is that I can't move during attack animations. Since the animations are rather long, you get multiple timespots in which your avatar is not responsive to your keyboard commands. It would be better to have movement stop whatever animation/action is currently underway. It would give a more fluid feeling.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't actually like this, thinking about certain animations done with weapons this would spoil my experience. I love doing the big moves and seeing mobs fly about, wouldn't have the same feel if I activated the power and interupted the animation by moving.

[ QUOTE ]
The UI is sorely lacking in a "In Range" indicator. Why do I have to guess if I am close enough for my Blaster to shoot? I am getting annoyed at the 'not in range' messages. Just have the power icon signal if I am in range before I use it.

[/ QUOTE ]

No it isn't...never needed this and again it would spoil my experience of working out tactics etc.

[ QUOTE ]
UI also lacks any form of 'you are now in combat' indicator.

[/ QUOTE ]

red numbers appear...thats enough

[ QUOTE ]
Game seems to be low in population. Not many people around...

[/ QUOTE ]

in instances there won't be as they're made just for you (or any team you're in) get yourself on a team and travel to the hollows!! (or vice versa). Not sure what restrictions the trial gives.

[ QUOTE ]
Sounds. Wow, just wow. This is so bad it is almost game breaking:
Combat just feels so disjointed and unreal, since there are barely any sounds. Just the slow 'swooshes' of my or my enemies attacks, and weird sci-fi noises on the use of powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Again not really bothered by this as I usually have music pumping out, altho the newest zone (Cimerora) does have grunting romans...if that floats your boat.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, clicking on NPCs really should evoke some kind of auditory response. Why can't Ms. Liberty say 'Hi hero!' or something to the effect when I begin talking to her?

[/ QUOTE ]

No they shouldn't this is cheesey and tiresome, the MMORPGSs I've played where this happens its like "oh the character spoke...great!" and ignored it for the rest of the time, again it fits the genre, comics don't talk! Make your own voices

[ QUOTE ]
It might seem like a small matter, but its this kind of fit and polish that separates AAA titles from the also-rans.

[/ QUOTE ]

If that makes WoW and WAR AAA's then how come neither can hold my attention for more than a week? I'd rather play a good game than listen to one

[ QUOTE ]
Also, the game has barely no background music. All I hear is an endless and annoying cacophony of city street sounds such as cars, police drones etc., and only once in a blue moon do I get 5 seconds of background music.

[/ QUOTE ]

Again not an issue, music kicks in on certain missions and different areas within zones, I usually have music on anyway so its no biggy. But the music that hits as you enter Atlas Park is without a doubt one of the greatest MMORPG moments...I've never played a MMORPG thats kicked in and had me thinking "oh yea...lets GO!!!"

[ QUOTE ]
All-in-all an interesting game, with some nice, novel, ideas. I'll certainly give it few more days' trial, but the slow combat and utterly [censored] sound/music in the game really spoil an otherwise enjoyable experience.

[/ QUOTE ]

The game is interesting, I've been playing it for far too long come this New Years Eve, I've tried other MMORPG's and none have hooked me as much as this, yes I'm a comic geek which helps but I also love Star Wars and a good bit of fantasy. SWG, WoW and WAR have hooked me but then I got bored for some reason I've never gotten bored of CoX and have 40 alts. Its pick up and go gaming and suits me nicely, I can do want I want...when I want. I'd give the game abit more time, create different ATs and see which interests you more, the differences in ATs are very different and unlike other MMORPGs your experience changes depending on what you play.

They'd be dead before the time bomb could go off the way I play.

It's a rubbish power and I'd love to see it changed for something useful such as, I dunno, Airstrike or something.

[/ QUOTE ]

*cough* holy hand grenade *cough*

No idea of what exactly I got...got Halloween salvage for all 16 of my new toons (altho I had some spare from previous years) acouple got a few zombie raids done, various badges, couple took down EB's to get the pumpkin head but none of my villains...strangely enough the EBs never showed up. Got all the costumes on various characters, some got the badges some didn't. Mainly picked up the Dead Head badge from the doors infact I think this is the only ToT critter badge I picked up this year.

Brawl > Time Bomb...or is that too far?

On topic - Also remove the debt from door spawns this would elimate alot of strife that occurs around the event and make it less annoying when people don't clear their spawns.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or let's just remove debt full stop. After all, it'd be in keeping with the continued dumbing down of the games difficulty level.

*sigh* Come back Issue 3, where superheroes were super, and not paying attention would get you scragged all over the map.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nooooooooo event/door spawns only whilst I'm not a fan of removing debt or making it less prominent, it is also unfair on those poor ToT'er who have been 'harrased', and as others have discussed several other occurences to try and stop this from happening, I just think thats a small solution.

the lag in lagville is taken, placed in stocks and left for us all to throw rotten fruit at it. Or debt-protection is lagville to stop the annoying lag deaths OR mission teleporter power given to anyone who is within the walls of lagville (noticing the theme here?)

Being able to invite my alts to my sgs without bothering anyone else...again.

Free additional character slots =D

[ QUOTE ]
You lot do realise that the 'Malleus' title actually has a historical references with regarding witches apart from just being the latin translation.

The Malleus Maleficarum aka the Hammer of the the Witches.

A book used by Witch hunters and Inquisitors during the 15th century and was published to help local magistrates on how to 'deal' with the witch problem and also prove to people that witches really existed, were more often than not female and that only being a pious catholic christian would save you from them.

So in my view...Malleus can stay.

[/ QUOTE ]

Rats, I was gonna say that so I could seem clever, but yea I think Malleus should stay cos its one of those well thought links that scatter CoX.

On topic - Also remove the debt from door spawns this would elimate alot of strife that occurs around the event and make it less annoying when people don't clear their spawns.

yea time bomb is a pretty awful power, I remember taking it and then dropping it after a couple of missions.

Trip mines are good for solo'ing and it's a pet hate of mine when you're in a team with people that think its fun for you to sit for 5 minutes whilst they drop a on of trip mines (most of which won't even touch the critters. It's not fun and like a say a couple of well placed mines is far more useful and less time consuming.

Trip mines are handy in teams (and solo'ing) when you know you're gonna be ambushed.
