    After you registered, did you tell the guy "I want to start building my base now"?
  2. Please check the technical support section of the forums for help with your problem, especially the first sticky post there. If nothing that has already been posted helps you, then post your hijack this and cohhelper logs in a new post there.

    From there, you can upload a picture from your hard drive. It has to meet the requirements (certain file formats, size, etc.), but that's pretty much it.

    With the pictures in the posts, that's almost certainly linked images in the signature file. To the best of my knowledge, these forums don't allow you to post images directly in your posts, but do allow them in the signatures.
    You can add images to posts. What you can't do is UPLOAD an image to use as a signature. You have to use the actual image code in the signature text to make it work.

    Server problem

    Did you go to Nvidia's site and get the most recent drivers for your card?

    Server problem

    What happens when you run the updater? Did you try reinstalling it?

    Last two patches

    Check the build numbers on the live and test? There haven't been any patches to live lately though.

    Also population does not equal ease of finding teams. One of my best buddies refers to Victory as his teaming server, even though he is part of strong super groups on Freedom. Victory has an unbelievable amount of TF's being run and they are always looking to bring new people aboard. I've had good luck on most of the servers, but tactics vary from server to server and population is not necessarily what determines how easy it is. Now for PvP I imagine that raw numbers is fairly important.
    It's nice to be reminded that we have community mods who actually play the game instead of just observing.

    If you sit around waiting for invites, yeah you might not meet anyone on a small pop server (although I get my share of invite /tells on Triumph, which is small-ish).

    Either pull up stakes and head to Freedom or Virtue, or seize the initiative and get your own team together.

    I solo more or less full time now, but it's not for lack of people asking me to team.
    Deja vu! Thuogh I like MissInformed's analogy better, if only because it fits nicely in a sig

    Channel Bind

    Make sure you're typing it correctly. I seriously JUST used this 5 minutes before I posted and it worked.

    /bind [ beginchat /send channelname (or "channel name") [$detailhere]:

    pay close attention to where you're putting your quotes.

    It is when you consider the cost for server transfer in other games.

    Channel Bind

    /bind <key> beginchat /send "channel name uses quotes only if there's a space in it" ($level, $name, $archetype)

    Personally mine uses the [$name] format, and I like to add a colon and an extra space at the end when I'm binding so that when I talk in the channel it comes out as

    SunGryphon: [$name]: my message

    instead of

    SunGryphon: [$name]my message
  13. Well, that was a fix that happened between when the OP was posted and when I posted, so hopefully with another nudge they'll fix it on the villain skin.

    The Big Zig

    what would be really cool is to have breakout actually be in brickstown. Yes, it would still need to be 'separated' from the actual zone by an invisible wall, but they've already proven you can have "windows" where you can see what's going on on the other side (AE building). Heroes wouldn't be able to affect the new villains and vice versa, but it would be neat to see the breakout in action.
  16. it seems fixed now? I don't see that grey bar at the bottom of the avatars anymore.
  17. The problem is that you have "Stop sending all buffs" set to Enabled. Just disable that and you'll be fine.

    Excellent example of why it's good to include a screenshot of your issue, when seeking help.

    I think a prison riot is a fantastic idea, and quite appropriate.
  19. I'm aware of that, I was merely pointing out that "pussycat minus cat" was censored.

    Years ago, and I can't even remember why now - I think it started in an argument I was having with somebody (Perfect_Pain maybe?) over posts being too verbose. It was surprisingly diverting, and reactions to it split roughly along the lines you mention, with some people liking it and others PMing me saying "Whats wrong with u? U should quit game." (Which was as close as you could get to -rep in those days.)
    I actually remember that day!

  22. That would be very cool.
  23. I'm not sure if testing has been done for that. I know I don't pay attention to it. But again, even if they aren't as high, if you're doing more missions faster as a result of it being easier, then you're still coming out ahead.
  24. Having a -1 setting does not automatically mean all enemies in all your missions will be 19 if you are level 20. It just means the mission runs at -1. If a mission is backloaded, for example, that means the enemies at the front will be -2, while the ones at the back will be even cons.

    In short, it'll depend on how much time you're willing to dedicate to levelling, not what level the missions are.

    Logic does dictate however that 2x mission completion bonuses of 15,000 an hour are worth more than 1x mission completion bonus at 20,000 an hour.
