Quote:That is fine I made sure to give people plenty of time. Stories will be judged for the prizes on October 15th 2010 so you all have the time to work on stories or "locate" lost ones. I can understand and relate to having almost no time.I had a story written but it went with my old computer. If I can find where it was posted once a pon a time I will put it in. However like you Toxic I have very little time right now. Teaching school, school projects, pregnancy, busted knee, yeah it seems almost a normal fall for me
-
I plan to mention it when I get time from work, college and my kids to do it. I get little in game time.
Alright I've mentioned this event a few times on Triumph Watch 2.0 channel not sure if many people will enter. -
Quote:I can agree though I was never and still am not that big into the forums. But I started in protector with personal friends then they quit for WoW so I tried Champion stayed there for a year then moved to Triumph I have some good global friends here but typically solo a lot. I have met plenty of players that were very nice and helpful. I like this server and understand what you meant here. I just hope to get enough people so it is not 3 entries so that every entry gets a prize.Triumph isn't populated enough to get events going like on other servers. I think is because those who play on Triumph are casual players, solo players, and otherwise friends that keep to themselves. The majority of which are veterans so I'm not too far off when I say 100mil may not be enough incentive for them. For a new player like me even third prise more than enough. Plus I don't think the forum gets watch much by those in game but the few you see on the boards.
Anyway, working on my story.
I have read the first entry. What a story you leave me wanting more. Can't wait for the next entry to get posted. -
So far we have 2 participants no PM's of any other entries as of yet. This will be an easy event if I only have 2 stories to judge. Tell your friends, and SG mates to enter the contest for some good free in game influence.
-
I'll look forward to the entries. Also for future events I am always open to public suggestion.

Quote:I am currently testing your solution with skype. It does work to an extent but Skype does still drop calls and get the lag spikes.I finally found a solution that worked for me regarding ventrillo ping spikes and crashes. I was reading a post on another game in which a user was having the same problem. Some one gave the solution that worked for him.
Solution
1. Have Ventrillo Open
2. Open Task Manager
3. Righ Click on Ventrillo in the "Applications Tab" and click on "Go to process"
4. It should take you to the "Process Tab" with Ventrillo.exe highlighted
5. Right click on ventrillo.exe and set priority to high
You should be able to open coh now and run vent smoothly. This worked for me perfectly. I am not sure if this will work for skype or team speak but you can give it a try and hope for the best.
(Sorry for the detailed description, making sure everyone is able to follow the steps.) -
Quote:The service fix you mentioned did work for me as well and I too have a ATI card. Thanks for this posting.Alright folks. Figured I'd post this up here to help people out who didn't get a full chance to see the Beta forums.
I17 has brought with it severe input delay of several seconds, where you either don't or keep doing something several seconds behind. Now a fix for this that seems to have worked was running services.msc and disabling any keylogger that was running (in my case ATI Hotkey Poller). This fixes up the input delay somewhat...
However something unrelated appears to have cropped up.
As some of you may be aware, people often use Ventrilo as a 'voice chat' of sorts in game. This was quite common with the various PvP SGs as well as a number of others. Now since I17 (and this was happening on Test) the Vent server gets very bizarre spikes of ping which makes it almost unusable. This is followed up with error messages about input being too high and disabling the input device.
Now one suggestion is that the new ambient sounds could be affecting this...but considering the fact I have my sounds all turned off...I think not. I suspect it might be linked to the issue with the input delay...
Anyone else having similar problems with Ventrilo? Any fixes? I know it's third party but I figure may as well ask where it's happening. -

Quote:Don't forget sorry to AOW aswell right Felecia ? ;-)I think i was in game so long i started to get tunnel vision. I was so busy trying to fill empty spaces with events that i did not appreciate all the effort going on around me.
Budweiser, if Mod08 has any of those leftover words for dinner i'll share that meal with you.....after all the effort you put into helping, i deserve it. I should have had the other leaders prepped to keep things going, i was very short-sighted.
Shay, i owe you an apology as well, Braije gets under my skin (it's just his way) and i took it out on you and shouldn't have.
Elf, i can always count on you to make me laugh, your style of play and online banter is unique, if you ever changed we would have to get worried about you. I am still a Noob and damn proud of it -
Felecia I am glad to read all of this. I'm proud of you. I was starting to get very worried that we were turning into what a certain SG that we nolonger have on our server was before they we're destroyed. Trust me I had thought of taking my leave, but instead just stepped down as a leader for a bit and started running on Justice and Triumph for a bit, My way of letting the dust "drama" settle. I'm glad I came back, and didn't completely abandon Champion server or the AOW sg.
I've stepped up where I felt I was needed most recently and I am glad you are forgiving and forgetting. Let the past be just that. Live and learn the big step was admitting you were wrong about something. Anyways I'm sorry I had passed judgement on some of the others just blindly being on Felecia's side. I two was wrong, I'm sorry Bud I had thought I'll of you and I was wrong. Though I did not judge your SG by how I felt about you sir. I would hope the same of others and what they think of AOW. That is all again sorry to all. -
I almost forgot about this but I entered as ThePain. Well hopefully I was entered lol.

I have updated the original portion of this post with what Apoch had to say about the postponement. Thank you for the positive replies for those of you that had them.
-
Fiery-Enforcer - thank you the other "Leaders" in this SG are trying like heck to pull together and have this event happen.
Unfortunately we have to postpone the events for another 3-4 weeks.
We're doing our best. I appreciate the positive coment. -
I regret to inform people that Felecia has not been around for a bit, do to illness or technical problems, I am not entirely sure. But the other leaders in AOW ahve decided we are going to re-schedule the 2nd Year Anni Events for 4 weeks from the original date that was posted in the now locked forum.
~ Toxic Striker
Hello everyone. I have taken it upon myself to officially postpone AOW's 2nd Anniversary event for one month from it's original date. We will hold the events as previously scheduled on January 17, 2010. It is still unclear what occurred to knock Felecia off the internet after last Saturday, but it is clear that we cannot successfully hold the events without her presence. Please join me in the hope that whatever has happened either personally or technically will be cleared up shortly and we will soon see the return of our coalition leader.
In the meantime, please continue to carry on in a way that will make AOW (all divisions) stand out favorably from the rest of the noisy supergroups on Champion. Please continue helping each other, encouraging each other, and enjoying one another's company. It has always been AOW's goal to make Champion one of the most active, positive and friendly servers in all of CoH. We are 11 divisions strong. I would like to see our strength increase because of the bonds we form with each other, not simply because our numbers increase.
Until next time, or I see you in-game: play fair, share the glory, and annihilate Lord Winter (over and over again), ~Apochrypha -
To end this portion I'll agree with you not everyone gets judged by the friends they have, as you are correct I have some bad friends but nowhere near like prostitutes and druggies.

Quote:This I can agree with this is exactly how I see things real life and in video games.I don't know about anyone else, but I'm trying real hard to keep those that earn their scorn separate from those who haven't. Even though SF had plenty of less than stellar members, there were many more good ones that just got caught up in the madness, and most of them wised up and got out. I'd like to think that the same can be said for AOW. So far it looks to me like it's just one nut that needs to be tightened in an otherwise ok group.
-
Quote:And yet I beg to differ in real life I have not once been judge by my family and friends. I have always been judged by how I act and am as a individual. So who is ludicrous now?I would have to beg to differ on this one. Saying you don't want to be judged by the company you keep is just ludicrous. We are judged in real life that way, why should it be any different in a video game?
If you surround yourselves with prostitutes or druggies in real life everyone is going to assume that is what you are. That doesn't make it right, but it is what it is. If you work for some dude that is selling child pornography, and you know he is doing it, just because you don't buy it or sell it doesn't mean you don't stand the chance of going to jail as well. Of course extreme examples, but you get the point. -
Believe me I have left Stryke Force in the past of my own accord, eventually if I am at my whits end I'll let Felecia and a few others know when or if and why I am leaving. No that does not mean I am taking me leave at this time. Nor do I have plans to leave. I have seen my share of "drama" and I supposed for a lack of a better word "cat fights" between AOW and other SG's (yes also with female leaders) I just remain in my little corner avoid sides and say my peace.
Yes I am in this game to meet new interesting players and make any friends I can, but don't judge me based on others in my SG. I don't do that to others therefore I don't expect that kind of judgement on me. Yes I think some of our members definately need to take a look at how they react to cetain situations and how they act and play in general but who the heck am I to tell them how to play this is all just a "game" intendid for having "fun". So can everyone just shut up, sit down and enjoy themselves weather it is on a team, solo or whatever.
Darn it people do I have to make this statement to all or what ? Don't make me be that person. =P
(Side Note) For those of you that don't know me I was Toxic Striker from SF my first champion toon and level 50. I have been most recently all over the place playing as Rawk Fist, still not ringing any bells well that is because when I am on the server I just play enjoy myself and the game and enjoying the company of anyone that picks me up on a team or that I end up forming a team with. -
I know everyone thinks I kiss *** in this SG but what I think and would say could prob. shock the heck outta everyone in AOW. Emprad and Jonnie Neutron have points. I call Felecia a friend but I do have to agree that we have had some really good Coalitions that we have lost, I feel it is our own doing. I still love Stoned Templars, and many other small SG's that have helped me and teamed with me, hell even hung out with me in game. I do admit I fear speaking my mind only due to the fact that I am only able to play the game when Felecia can afford to pay for my (poor ***) I rarely have the money on hand with my current situation to keep my game active. I used to really love being in AOW but as time moves forward there have been times where I wish I was not even assosiated with the SG. I can see if some ways where other SG's out on Champion would not want anything to do with out events we have ticked off a good number of other SG's out on the server. No Felecia is not the person that has caused others to hate us almost every single member we have has given a poor impression to others, I only say this because I know I am one of them in the past I have lost my temper and gone off on other SG's that did not deserve it. Long rambling short I on my behalf appologize to anyone and everyone I have wronged in the Past and Present. I was very very wrong anb I hope that most of you can forgive me for making a poor impression of both myself and the SG that I represent.
