    Oh, it's the Architect Edition, I was just trying to give that person an out...

    Definitely works with Windows 7, head to the technical support forum and give them the information they ask for.
  5. A quick way to turn your graphics settings down (especially if you have yours tweaked and don't want to keep fixing it) is to click on "run in safe mode" on the EULA screen. This automatically drops your graphics settings to their lowest, and when you log out and back in normally, the settings are reverted to what they normally should be. Just make sure you don't accidentally click on "options" when you're running in safe mode, or the low settings will be saved and you'll have to tweak them again.

    I used to do that on the servers I usually played on.. then I started having so many on Virtue that I just couldn't keep up with the servers I didn't play on as much... badges aren't the drive they once were *sniffle*

    That's pretty much the case. I made characters on Guardian when I first started playing, and almost immediately switched to a different server (like, within a day or two), so those characters haven't been touched since.

    Darn that tricky English language! I of course meant 'when' as in 'at the time' meaning : I swore off men, then a year and a half later, I met him.
  9. I've got some 2000+ day characters.

    I met my wife in CoH (on Pinnacle to be exact). The key to it is neither of us were actively looking for a relationship at the time.

Since we were both here to play the game and not trying to find someone, our relationship got to develop naturally instead of feeling forced or artificial.

    It can work like that, treating the CoH forums like a dating website probably won't.

    With that said, good luck in your hunt.
    My husband and I met on Virtue. I had sworn off men when I met him.

    We were living together within 2 months, despite me being in California at the time and him being in Tennessee.

    We now have an almost-level-2 Anklebiter.
  11. Well.. that... totally doesn't address anything that people have said or suggested to you.

    This is why in our home, we share the master bedroom, our son has his bedroom, I've got my computer room/office and she has her library.

    You don't need a gamer to have a good mate. You only need to choose more wisely who your mate will be and treat her with respect and demand the same in return. If you aren't giving it, then she chose poorly. If you aren't getting it, you chose poorly.

    Yes, that means when she says, "yo, nookie now!" you get off the gorram computer and tend to her needs. Log back on when done.
    Well said!
  13. Speaking as a former gamer girl (now a gamer wife), I wish you luck, but if I had been single and read this, I would have laughed. CoH isn't a dating service, although there are plenty of successful marriages that have come out of MMOs (I'm in one).

    I'd say look for someone in game but that's so chancy these days (especially if you play on Virtue).

    Might I suggest one of the many geek dating services instead?

    This is one of my biggest pet peeves, for so many reasons. Don't wait. Report. You're not doing anything helpful by not reporting, and it only takes like 30 seconds to do.

    KB is a good case in point (since you brought it up). There is a strong amount of "Boom de yada!" to our attacks that just make a lot of the game fun to play. Good storylines to a lot of the arcs and TFs, too.
    I think "Boom de yada!" could just about sum it up for me.

    I ask because I moved a character off of champion (I've had no luck teaming there unless I was in a Mega-SG, and when I didn't like their rules, I left) and onto virtue. She immediately dissappeared from champion, but I have yet to see her on virtue. I didn't get any error saying moving to virtue was not allowed, nor was Virtue greyed out on the server list.

    So is transfer just backlogged a bit, or is my character well and truly gone? If she's gone, I'll be really PO'ed. Level 30, with a large chunk of AE tickets, and at least 10 complete sets of salvage from the halloween event, along with the badges.
    Transfer works pretty instantly. Make sure you check all three pages of characters. Sometimes they end up on the third page, for whatever reason. Also make sure you did, in fact, choose the right server to transfer to (check other servers).

    Just go back and edit it.
  23. Just send in a petition via the support option on the main menu. Call it a EULA name violation hehe

    For added laughs you can friend the person and watch as it gets genericed.
