    If I'm understanding you correctly, and you're talking about your browser, it might be that your graphic drivers aren't up to date or even installed. That sounds like an issue I was having on a laptop where it was using VESA graphics modes.

    Which one? Hit reload and check again.
  4. Perfectly legit. It used to be the only way to do it.
  5. While a virus is always a possibility, the fact that I've only had one browser redirect, and it was only when I went to the Vidiotmaps site, and wouldn't happen again once I had blocked clicksor.com (the ad site) even after some 30 reloads of the site, make it much less likely that it's a virus causing the problem.
  6. There's nothing wrong with the maps, and no way to get a virus from them.

    I don't recall if there's an uninstall in included, but you can simply go into the "Data\texture_library" directory of you CoH folder and delete the "MAPS" and "V_MAPS" folders.
  7. There's something with the ad at the very bottom. I just got redirected to a fake "virus checker" site from there. I hit reload (after blocking that site) and got a regular ad.
  8. Don't forget, higher level tarantula mistresses get an ToHit bonus through Mind Link.

    Ok, then try this one (same instructions as above). It seems to remove nearly all the motes. If you put the two together, the shield is rendered completely invisible.
  10. Here's a partial fix.

    Extract this file into the "data" folder of your CoH directory. If you don't have a "data" folder, create one. You should have a full path under your coh folder of "data\texture_library\FX\SUPER_POWERS\Sonic\" with a file called Sonic_Waveform.texture in it.

    This will remove the circling wave pattern from your shield, but only on your computer and only with the default colors. If the Sonic character is using customized colors, it doesn't seem to work.

    Hope this helps.

    Here's an example screen shot:


    Edit: This still has the top to bottom "pulse" on the shield. If desired, I can make another file to remove that.

    Respec TF

    Wiki page on respecs. More than enough info about respecs there.
  12. Try this setup. Dual boxing? No prob, try thirty six boxing.
  13. There can be only one DAN on each server.

    It might be possible that that a bar doesn't show up for these. The number needed is so small that I usually get them in one event, so I don't recall.

    I used to show up all the time when there was "Supernatural Activity" but I've learned that the only way to win this is two basically have a full team at each of the 4 banners, defeat enough spawn to make the banner vulnerable then defeat these and then all converge on the GM that will appear. I've discovered that the chances of 4 teams getting together for this is pretty slim, so I stopped.
    Did it recently on Protector and started with only 6 people (2 people on 2 of the banners and 1 on each of the others). We got the banners to pop with this and more people showed up as it went on. Total of about 16 people (2 teams) by the finish. Though, the call went out on Protector's Jello Shooter channel, so the best of the server came out for that.

    You need to defeat 25 hellions, no problem, but 25 fires on the other hand, by yourself when there are 4 other people fighting fires that means you'll get 1 maybe 2 for each event so you'll need to visit roughly 10 to 15 fires.
    Sounds like a problem with your tactics. Once you have the 25 hellions, are you ignoring them and concentrating on the fires? Are you fighting fires on the sides (or roof) where there are no hellions who can heal the fires? The event lasts long enough that you should be able to get at least 4-5 fires easily, more if you have good recharge through Hasten or set bonuses. And once you get the 2nd badge, you'll get the bigger extinguisher which is even more effective (75 damage to fire rather than 45). I just can't see getting only one or two per fire.

    Why the general lack of interest in events? Are they that old? don't you want to get the badges for all of your toons? If the events are that old then I imagine the missions are getting pretty stale for these people as well.
    For the most part, a badge isn't enough of a reward. Even getting together a team for Giant Monsters can be hard enough, even with the merit reward.
  15. Very impressed with the run. Are you sure your Mitochondria Antibodies aren't made of butter or something? They just melted away.

    Zombie badges appear in the "Event Badge" category, not the Defeat category.

    It will do the same damage regardless of which AT uses it. "Temp" powers use their own damage scale which isn't adjusted by AT, with origin powers being an exception, I believe.
  18. For non-CoH specific ones, also try acronymfinder.com and UrbanDictionary.com (which is not always safe for work).
  19. What, no plans for a team with matching costumes, each with a different letter spelling out E-I-G-H-T ?

    I'm hoping to be there on my long neglected Kin 'fender.

    The OP is correct on this point though. There is a geyser in FBZ at Point Foxtrot that just goes nowhere. I remember trying to figure that one out years ago. It looks like it's supposed to reach an island, but comes no where close.

    How about a little more detail for us non-natives? Is the channel I need to join called HKS, Hami Kill Squad or something else?

    TweakCoH will let you change settings before starting the game.

  24. Pretty much what you said. AV drops would be it. Level 10 would be minimum for Mr. Yin's origin limited stock.

    Any reason you would need them for lvl 8? You'd out level them in a few hours, so it really doesn't seem to be worth the effort.

    Fortitude, speed boost, O2, Clear Mind, Accelerate Metabolism, Adrenalin Boost, Regeneration Aura, Recovery Aura, Deflection Shield, Insulation Shield, Sonic Haven, Sonic Barrier, etc, etc, etc have accept/decline dialog? News to me.
