Devices would definitely be the least common since it isn't available for Defenders.
Traps is available for Defenders, but Devices has never been available for them. -
Quote:The last thing I saw was that they'd gotten all of the sections cleaned up and operational.They had been infected with a nasty virus before. Some of those areas are still down since they're not restored from the clean-up effort yet.
Hopefully they haven't gotten infected again. But I don't see anything getting blocked from popping up by NoScript or Adblock on the paragonwiki site though.
CoH Faces was the last area to come up as far as I know.
It seems some of the pages (Ouroboros Portal) may still be using invalid links to the various sites of the Titan Network (they still point to the old address for CoH Faces for example). -
Quote:Not getting any problems or notices here from my A/V or spyware detectors.Hey -
CoHTitan (and their Wiki) appear to be compromised with a fake antivirus ad. It's pretty clearly malignant.
Can we get a mass community warning to stay away, do NOT obey the instructions on the screen, and the site shut down until the system is purged and verified to be bug-free?
Thanks.
Looks like the problem is on your computer.
Also, the Titan Network doesn't use ads at all.
Yes, I know others have posted the same thing above.
But I also know that some people only read the last post or two in a thread before commenting on it.
I put this here for them. -
Quote:You'd also think that the big fancy third-party microtransaction platform they're using would be able to handle either hiding things you've already purchased, giving a list of things you've purchased in a relatively easy to read format, or giving an error message that explains the exact problem when you have something in your cart at checkout that you've already purchased.Seriously? You'd think the big fancy thirdparty microtransaction platform they're using would be able to handle something like that.
You are giving PlaySpan too much credit. -
At the top of the login screen it shows how many Global and Server unlocks you have available. You should have (at least) as many unlocks as you have characters. It is possible to have more unlocks than characters if you haven't used all of your VIP slots. For example, I've earned extra slots annually and haven't used all of them even though I've only assigned them to Justice.
Just use the unlocks to open the characters. -

I appriciate that I have most of thursday evening but honestly a friday freebie running out before midnight in someone's local time ON A FRIDAY is kinda redonkulous...
If they change it to meet your individual criteria for the hours it will likely inconvenience someone else.
IIRC, they have to enable and disable this manually anyway, so your suggestion would be that someone from Paragon Studios (possibly either Ghost Falcon or Alpha Wolf) should have to stay up extra late on two consecutive days just to make things more convenient for you rather than doing it doing their working hours?

I'm not sure what the first output is, but it is not a normal CoH Helper report.
Make sure that you download the file from the site and save it to your computer. Then right-click the downloaded file and select Run as Administrator to run it correctly.
Instructions begin in the first post of this thread.
Also, follow the instructions onfor resolving issues with the NCSoft Launcher. Be sure to do the steps for the .Net Framework and MSXML libraries.
EDIT: You may also want to try disabling the Spybot TeaTimer temporarily to make sure it isn't interfering with the Launcher or with CoH Helper. -
Quote:People that report posts for violating forum rules don't always post in those threads themselves.I'll admit I'm guessing about him petitioning himself, but that's the only way I can think of to get an expedited mod response. No one else in the thread posted anything close to violating forum rules and guidelines, and simply posting "please delete this thread" without petitioning it, and it being offensive in some way, could leave the thread unnoticed and untouched.
If the moderators/OCR team get quite a few notices of several posts being reported in a thread it tends to get their attention to the entire thread more than just the single posts. -

Quote:What do you all that are crying think should be free? Should you claim a token that makes a dev of your choice fire cave farm you for an hour? Or a purple recipe? 30 days of vip time? An Xbox 360?
I mean damn. the idea is something small to get you in the market then hope you buy something else while there.Quote:You know it's a market inspiration so it last 5 minutes that's like 5 normal ones I'll take it.
Come on people ******** what did you think they were gonna start handing out free powersets or something lol get a clue.
I find myself agreeing with both of these posters for once.
I feel so dirty now. Almost as dirty as I felt for enjoying using an Apple product that was given to me. -
Quote:We have that already.Essentially, I'm arguing for a marketing approach (Get a much fuller game for a flat fee) that this game isn't interested in. *shrug*
It's called a becoming a VIP.
You get a much fuller game for a flat fee when you subscribe.
What you are arguing for is getting a fuller game by paying no fee or by only making a few small purchases for the Reward Tokens to get to a lower tier. -
I'm glad you got it resolved with the additional month as it should have been.
It's good to see the goldenrod colored name again. -
Quote:I did tackle it.Never said it wasn't. Just said it's not as useful as KD. Still not heard anyone tackle that.
Knockdown keeps high ranking enemies in melee range and they can hit me quickly with heavy attacks.
Knockback moves them farther away so that they either use weaker ranged attacks or take the time to run into melee.
There are times they'll have to cross caltrops or time-bombs to get back into melee and if they are only slowed by the 'trops I have time for my power with KB to recharge.
You've not refuted that point at all. You've pointedly ignored it.
Knockback is more advantageous to my ranged characters (most of what I enjoy playing) especially those without high defense or resistance or simply lower hit points. -
I refuse to use Google+ due to their idiotic "naming policy" and how and when they decide they are going to adhere to it as it is written.
They refuse to allow me to use the name I've used for over 8 years, a name the people I would be talking to on Google+ know me by, a name that I use on several site (including other sites under the Google umbrella).
From their naming policy:
Quote:Even after providing links to various sites twice, they've continued to deny the use of the name.
We recognize that this isn’t always the case and allow for other common names in Google+. If we challenge the name you intend to use, you will be asked to submit proof that this is an established identity with a meaningful following. You can do so by providing links to other social networking sites, news articles, or official documents in which you are referred to by this name.
I've deleted my entire Google+ profile and won't touch the site now under any circumstances. -

Quote:Just stop already. Typos happen everywhere. They aren't always fixed and when they are people don't always notice.
Mind explaining how that got through? That is unacceptable. What's more unacceptable is that typos can be reported in Beta and ignored for several issues.
What is unacceptable is that mapping companies do not update and fix mistakes when they are reported by multiple people for several years.
I've already given you two examples and yet you try to make it seem as if this game should be held to much higher standards. Gaia has given another example.
I'll say it again. The mapping companies need to be held to the highest standard since many emergency services and utility companies use their data for responding. This is a game. Entertainment. Nothing that could in any way be construed as critical.
Addresses and street names being incorrect in mapping software after being repeatedly reported for over 10 years can be life-threatening. I've dealt with that issue personally.
Should the typos be fixed? Sure. But there is no need to throw a temper tantrum and fling about hyperbole every time you find a typo.
When you find a typo file a /bug report and then continue playing the game. Ranting and raving on the forums is just making you look like a petulant child that didn't get their way. -
Enemies vary but the ones that I recall the most are Family, Warriors, Lost and Rikti. There are probably more that I'm not thinking about right now. I also like to keep Nemesis War Hulks and Jaeger's at a distance due to the damage when they are defeated. I don't worry as much about most minions since I'd killing them in one or two shots as it is unless I get a bad pull. Most of the ones I prefer keeping farther away from me are Lts and Bosses. And it goes without saying that EB's and AV's fall into that same category.
Snipers aren't a problem as I can generally stay out of their range and at times I need a bit of knock back to push them just a bit further back to get out of their range.
I mostly play blasters but the same is true on my defenders and controllers. I want to keep things out of melee range. Knock back helps accomplish that much better than simple knock down.
EDIT: Looking at your previous edit I'll do a bit of editing myself.
Texas Justice - Fire/Devices/Munitions blaster. Fireball and Inferno are the only AOE attacks from my primary. No Rain of Fire, no Firebreath. I'm all about aggro management. Inferno is seldom used anymore except during Ship Raids or Invasions. When I did use it before, it was as an opener or when the tank and controller had aggro locked down. Inferno killed most anything standing at that point. I wasn't stupid enough to use it on mobs surrounding Bosses unless the Boss was near a corner or wall so that I could use the Knock back to keep them there while killing the minions.
Texas Longbow - Archery/Devices/Munitions blaster. Rain of Arrows and Fistful of Arrows are basic parts of my attack chain. RoA as an opener and Fistful as a basic part of the attack chain. If it hits more than the primary target that's just gravy. Explosive shot is fun and I love the Knock back in it.
Doc Texas - Radiation/Dark Defender. I don't count on hitting anything other than the targetted foe with Tenebrous Tentacles or Nightfall. Any others they hit are gravy. Blackstar is extremely situational, mostly used as I use Inferno on TJ now during Invasions.
Texas Recurve - Trick Arrow/Archery Defender. Basically the same tactics as I use on Texas Longbow. If I'm using an AOE or cone from TA it's usually part of my opening attacks before hitting any KB. If it's mid-fight I'm not counting on hitting anything but the target.
Texas Freedom - Beam Rifle/Devices/Munitions. Pretty much played like all of my blasters. Emphasis on aggro management rather than AOE damage. I still get quite a bit of Disintegration Spread. I haven't noticed knock back having much of an effect on my Disintegration Spreads.
Texas Two Gun - Dual Pistols/Energy Manipulation. Mostly aggro management with a couple of secondary powers with KB in them to keep foes out of melee range.
Eyes of Texas - Illusion/Empathy/Psionic Mastery. Very few Empathy powers taken. Mostly built for PA dropping for the old Hami Raids. Still fun to play. Very few of my attacks are negatively affected by KB. I drop ST in a corner or near a wall and knock foes back into it. Very effective advantage to using KB. -

There are often times I'm fighting foes that have either few ranged attacks or weak ranged attacks. Most of these have some heavy damage melee attacks. Their AI seems to prefer closing to melee range.
When I knock them down they get back up and are quickly in range to use their heaviest hitting melee attacks. When I knock them back they get back up and either use a weaker ranged attack or take the time to run back into melee range to use their heavier attacks.
That's an advantage to knock back that even an elementary school student can understand.
The only disadvantage in that situation for knock back is if the foes are knocked through a geometry hole so that I cannot target them or attack them. And for that you blame the geometry holes, not knock back.
EDIT: Math not needed for that situation. -

EDIT: I did gain quite a bit of weight over a short span of time once. Well, mostly just a bad case of Dunlap's disease (belly dun lapped over the belt) rather than real weight gain.
I was eating at least a quart of Blue Bell Ice Cream a day, specifically the Banana Split flavor. There were days I ate a gallon of it. This was over a span of about 2 months.
I was crawling through the attic at our house one afternoon running wiring for the DirecTV system when I got hung on some rafters. I couldn't move forward, backward or sideways except in extremely slow increments. It took me almost 30 minutes to get myself "unstuck" so that I could move freely along the rafters again. All of the regulars (and some of the irregulars) of our local CB Radio network were laughing their heads off when they heard about it. Of course, they heard about it while I was still in the attic. Someone called on the radio for me and Dad told them why I couldn't answer them.
I lost all of it in a bit over two weeks simply by stopping eating Blue Bell Ice Cream. When I eat it now, I do it in extreme moderation. -
And now my head hurts.
Thanks a lot Arcanaville. -
