Ok well the GM got back to me... but apparently he couldn't see my tells. I responded to him several times but given his responses he was asking if I could see his tells.
-
That worked thanks (The leader relogging).
We had petitioned but had no response yet. -
We are in Manticore TF on the mission "Defeat Security Chief and his men" -- The problem is everytime we complete the mission we exit the mission and the game automatically re-assigns the mission to us.
We've completed it about 4 times now in about 6 mins and it still keeps giving us it. (at the same door too)
Is there a way to fix this? Has anyone seen this? -
Hmm I thought it was an American server. Disregard my evening comment then.
-
Or can you give us a time when it would? Personally, I think it would be fair to release Exalted in the evening so that everyone has a chance at names.
-
What time exactly is Exalted server going live? I would like to be sure to reserve names ASAP.

I don't have any suggestions to help, I'm sorry to say.
But I am curious: Abraxus2 and Ultimus, are you running 64 bit Windows by chance? -
I should also note I experience most of my crashing when on a team with the exception of Praetoria where I crash literally everytime exiting a mission.

Quote:Thing is I don't run virus scan. I know we have the same graphics card so I wonder if it is related to the GTX 460?Originally Posted by Abraxus2
I run Windows 7, but Vista and Win7 are pretty closely related. That being said, I have been doing some experimenting while awaiting some official solution. I started pondering the other things that might be running, or monitoring files as I play. The two things that popped into my mind were my back-up utility (which monitors files that change, so they can be backed-up later), and the Anti-Virus software (in this case McAfee VirusScan Enterprise).
So, I tried playing with the back-up utility turned-off. It did no good. I then found an updated version of the AV software, and installed it. I played for a couple of hours last night in Peregrine Island, with no crashes. That might not have been long enough to really put it to the test though, as I could typically play that long in the "classic" areas before crashing. A better test would be to attempt the Incarnate Trials. If I could do THAT for a couple of hours, with no crashes, then I would be satisfied that I have made a difference.
If that still does not provide satisfactory results, the next step is to just disable the AV scanner while playing, and attempt the Trials with that scenario as well.
What drivers are you using? I was experiencing crashing with drivers from like Dec of 2010 but then upgraded to the most recent and still have more crashing. -
Quote:Ok so basically you do more DPS with a weapon set when you are using like attacks? If you have to redraw this slows your animation down?Originally Posted by Vanden
You've got it backwards. Having two separate animations for weapon attacks, one with draw and one without, is how it USED to be. What BABs did was make it so that the draw time wasn't included in the power activation time, which means that attack chains were sped up as long as you didn't have to redraw.
Is that what you are saying? -
Quote:Same here, I been playing a long time and I am a 87 veteran. When I recently came back I experience non-stop crashing. I've tried updating my drivers, etc to no avail.Originally Posted by Abraxus2
I will throw my hat in the ring here. Been playing since a week after go-live. Never experienced chronic crashing like this in all that time. Mainly memory leak, but occasionally, application fault. Happens frequently, but more so in Praetoria, than in the classic areas.
I will PM the devs with the requested info. I have to say I miss the days of being able to play for hours on end, with no issues. I am hoping that Freedom brings some "nuts and bolts" level fixes to the game, to restore stability. The new stuff is great, but stability is the foundation that all else rests upon. Without that, all the cool stuff in the world won't increase membership, at least not for long.
I literally *ALWAYS* crash after exiting a mission in Praetoria. Sometimes I don't immediately crash but once I start walking around I crash. I get both the memory leak and application fault like the above. I wonder if its because I run Windows Vista? Does the above guy use Vista?
In the COH / COV worlds I can play a few missions before I crash. Its VERY annoying.
Here's an example screenshot:

Quote:Actually that helps a lot I always had that launcher in the background... now off to test it.Originally Posted by Eislor
Ultimus, there is a memory leak in the NCSoft Launcher which could be your problem. Make sure the Launcher closes after launching CoH, to do this run the launcher and click on File and then Settings in the drop down menu. In the General tab make sure both boxes are unchecked and the drop down menu under is set to Exit Launcher.
Hopefully that helps. -
Yeah that was it, I wasn't sure if that was Praetoria. Also anyone know the redraw question?
Thanks -
Anyone remember that mission (Or was it part of an arc?) that you travel through Portal Corporation to find a glowie that is a pile of bones. When you inspect it you learn its you. Was this a single mission or was that world the Praetoria World? If it was the Praetoria World, how does that mission work now? What if you are a Praetorian?
Also I couldn't find this anywhere but I would of sworn they redid the powersets that had redraw. I thought they made them so that the animations had two animations one with redraw and one without meaning by chaining the powers together you got an animation speed bonus essentially.
Maybe this was something BABs had talked about or my memory is fading. Could anyone remind me? -
Quote:Is there a work around for this then? How can I fix it?Originally Posted by Honbrid
Ultimus: I know very little about drivers or why they crash, but judging by the error message in that screenshot, you were victim of a memory leak, rather than a crashed driver. That's an issue with the game itself, and has been around for awhile. Here's hoping they can find it and plug it soon.
Also, holy <insert deity here> that's a large screenshot. Maybe shrink it down next time? -
Someone is going to have to explain to me (I only have done one character through Praetoria just recently since I started playing again).
What exactly is wrong with the story? I played through it and rather enjoyed it as a Loyalist.
Could someone elaborate what is wrong? -
I have an Nvidia card and I crash everytime I exit a mission in Praetoria and randomly in the old world.

I crash all the time hoping next patch fixes it. I am on an NVidia GTX 460 and had old drivers and tried new.
In Praetoria I literally crash everytime after exiting a mission. In the normal world I crash about every hour or so.

Reading old patch notes trying to catch up on things and saw this was changed. It now adds a fire damage component to attacks? I tried looking at in game to get exact information but the detailed information is just a blank page. I hope someone can answer these questions:
1) What is the duration now? It used to be like 10 seconds 60% damage and like 30 seconds fire damage increase.
2) How exactly does the damage bonus get added on? Ie if an attack does 100 damage, what is the damage bonus from fire? Does this bonus allow you to go above the damage cap? IE Scrapper has a 500% damage cap, an attack that does 100 damage would deal 500 damage at the damage cap. Would this added bonus allow you to go over?
3) How does it effect fire attacks? What is the bonus?
4) What about the Dominator version from Fire Assault? How does it work now? -
Are you saying Psionic Dart is just for building Domination? Or is it a good power to slot up?
I was confused by the statement. -
Granted I havent played Dominators since the change that increased their damage and removed the damage from Domination. I noticed on Psi that the set was changed. It used to be low damage until the level 38 power.
So is psionic dart worth it now? Used to be a waste being forced into it. Was psychic shockwave the aoe nerfed? Do most people go melee or range with this? -
Quote:What was the level pact bug?Originally Posted by TrueGentleman
Given how close they were to launching VIP Head Start before someone detected the potentially serious Level Pact bug, Paragon might be advised to have us road-test CoH Freedom for a little longer than a couple of days. (They might also consider a few precautionary stress-test events after yesterday's server outage.) Call it Thursday-Thursday for next week.

As the title says, I think it'd be the best way to see the old City of Heroes off and usher in the new City of Heroes Freedom era. Plus, it could be an easy bonus for some of the more prolonged recent downtime.

- Pet Powers Change:
- Recharge times on pet attack powers will no longer be affected by any outside source. This includes buffs and debuffs. What this means is that pets can no longer have the recharge time on their powers increased by player buffs (like Speed Boost) or their recharge time decreased by player or NPC debuffs. This change was made to allow pets to correctly cycle through their attacks instead of getting locked on using the same attack over and over and neglecting to use other available powers.

Ok yet another question:
In the LFG finder, what do the color of the names dictate? I see there are yellow, purple, and orange names. What do these mean?
Also will the finder show ALL people regardless of alignment?
