    NSIS erroe??

    You might ask a Moderator to move this post to the Tech forum, as they are more likely to be able to help you out.

    I'm more at a loss to figure out why this NSIS thing is even happening to you, as it shouldn't even be a part of the CoH setup.

    Also, you might try downloading the updater directly and running it. It will download the entire game for you without any mucking about in this NSIS stuff.

    So many ways to respond to that, but so few that won't get me banned .

    Super Speed has a stealth component and a -threat component to it. That's a major part of what is allowing you to zoom past enemies.

    Also, you can't slot Ninja Run.

    Logging /loc

    Yep, it looks like it gets logged. There isn't much to differentiate it from anything else, though. It's just the date/time and the loc numbers:

    Example:
    11-19-2009 15:40:06 -997.5 203.4 6984.0

    "This enhancement functions as a set bonus and is always on, even if in a toggle that is turned off or even if the power is greyed out because of exemplaring. However, the bonus of this Special IO is turned off if one exemplars more than three levels below the level of the Special IO itself, unless it's from a PvP Set, in which case, level doesn't matter and it will always work."

    I've used all 3, especially BotZ and they do not work when you exemp down 3 levels below the level of the IO.
  6. Any character I make is an "Alpha Class"!


    What?
  7. Trouble is, it's *still* not posted under the patch notes section on the main page. This is where you are sent if you click the Patch Notes link on the updater.

    Is this what you meant to say?
  9. Obligatory link to the Defense page on the wiki. Also see the Attack Mechanics page.

    Sorta. The chance of a drop is the same regardless of whether the enemy is green or purple. But a boss has a greater chance of drops than a lieut which has a greater chance of drops than a minion. Of course, if there's a level involved (like a recipe), then a green enemy is going to drop a lower level item than a purple enemy.

    The thing I dont understand is this...
    I kill someone and I could get an inspiration, an enhancement, a piece of salvage, or a recipe.
    To be clear, you could get an inspiration, an enhancement, a salvage, and a recipe, all in one kill.

    Quote:
    If my inspirations are full but the other 3 possibilities aren't, does that mean I can only get the other 3, or does it mean that an inspiration could still drop but it just bounces off?
    You can still get one or more of the other three. There is still a chance that an inspiration will drop, but because your tray is full, it will get discarded.

    Quote:
    ...does everything need to be open? Or does like I said it bounce off into oblivion... or even convert into something else.
    Only what you want needs to be open. If you don't care about inspirations and it fills, it will not affect the chance of something else dropping.

    Quote:
    Anyone get what I mean? I just want to know am I losing reward if one category is full but the rest aren't.
    Nope, the chance of any of those drops are separate.

    Of course, I could be completely wrong about any of this, and I'm sure someone will correct me if so.
  12. On my level 41 character, 2nd build fully leveled, Walk and Ninja Run did not work. The powers are not greyed out, but clicking on them has no effect. The other powers you mention worked fine.

    This character did have xp disabled (it's the character I run Eden trial with). I turned XP back on and walk and ninja run started working after that.

    Definitely a bug of some sort there.
  13. While it might depend upon what you're actually trying to do, you might check Google's Picasa and of course, http://www.flickr.com/

    The best is almost always going to be your own website, of course. I've been extremely please with the power and flexibility of Gallery2 on my own website.

    Some of these may be items that would only drop on the opposing side, due to the fact that the critters that dropped them would be on only one side or the other.
  15. ITF, 55 minutes, on Invincible, killing nearly everything in sight. Some of the best fun I've had in the game.

    ED has no affect on one or two even level HOs. The third HO, using Schedule A for an example, is reduced from 33.33% to 28.33%. Hardly overkill.

    CoH & Linux

    It runs reasonably well on my (very slow) older computer. Of course, I'm not really playing, just using a second account to follow and buff or to transfer items from character to character.

    Third paragraph.

    Sorry if this comes across badly, but it really wasn't hard to find.

    Hami's

    Because they're not split like IOs, they're split like HamiOs. Each one is the same as 2 or 3 full enhancements in the slot. An Acc/Damage IO is giving 33.3% on both Acc and Damage.

    They may not have set bonuses, but they are giving full power to two or three attributes.
  22. I got mine, right on time last week. Rockin'!!
