  1. Thank-you citizens for the wave. You know the one. The right hand that goes up momentarily like you're taking an oath to tell the whole truth and then the arm goes back down as you casually walk by. It's amazing that you all do it exactly the same. It's like you go to "Super Hero Waving Practice" classes or something. And you do it all. the. time.

    Thanks.
  2. 1. Do you have 3 missions already?

    2. Do you have an AE mission up and you're in AE pseudo-TF mode?

    3. Do you have too many unfinished arcs from the other contacts (look for the open book icon next to all your contacts)?

    4. Are you the right level?

    5. Did you go and talk to the AE guy like you were told to? (Yes, even if you had already done so at an earlier level.)

    Would you like me to link to a guide on how to log into the forum?





    Sorry, wasn't even looking at the name. It was a reflexive link.
  4. Nice. I added a link to your guide to my Guide to SSK.

    I keep getting the error "iexplore has encountered a problem and must close... etc". Not unusual except for the fact that... I was not running IE when it pops up. It happens a lot when I'm in game.

    then... I started hearing strange music while I was in game... I quit... the music was still going. I pulled up my task manager and iexplore.exe was running, without my asking it to run...

    when I did end task on it, the music stopped.

    Ok. so I ran a virus scan. I have the lastest updates from symantic and no virus was found.



    so... any ideas?

    Check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines


    Then post the results of these two programs in a new thread in the tech forum explaining your problem there:

    • CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
    • HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.

      NOTE: If you suspect you have a virus on your computer, then when you install HijackThis do not install it in a directory called 'HijackThis' -- modern viruses look for that and disable anything in that directory. Rename it. Also, when it starts up, do *not* run a report. Back out of the program and rename the HijackThis.exe file to something else (I renamed mine to Love.exe ) -- again, to fool the modern viruses that would stop it from running.
  7. I can do the Viridian arc in under an hour, and in I16, its Merit reward is being increased!

    A comet and/or falling meteor/spaceship all look the same to me.
  11. See the link in my sig below for the Guide to Guides which as a lot of info geared for newbies.

    And speaking of not-so-good color choices...

    I know that those who use the hero-side forum were used to bold green hyperlinks, but you're forcing them on us who use the villain-side skin and it looks horrible.

    Use Firefox and check out the skin adjustment in my sig if you want the old blue forum look back.

    The Mods were extremely grateful when I pointed out an Avatar which had caused riots and calls for murder that was being used on the forum.
  14. So, learn French and German, nicht wahr?
  15. What's worse than wearing an ugly mask?

    Wearing TWO ugly masks.

    Maybe in another decade or two he'll start wearing a third.

    If you use Firefox, check out the link in my sig, you can get that back again.

    I've gone through wiped out EVERY cookie an any reference I have to COH from my browser (firefox) and it still won't remember me.

    This kind of fighting to get a chance to post a message almost breaks using the forums for me.
    And when you do that, you sometimes have to restart or even reboot to clear out memory caches that are designed to 'help' you.

    The best way to stabilize FireFox for these new boards is:

    1. Delete all CoH cookies: with both city* and coh* names.

    2. Disable CoolIris.

    3. Reboot to clear all caches

    4. Enter the boards with the http://boards.cityofheroes.com address.

    If it still doesn't work... don't know why.
  18. Announced here.

    And it was just a few days after the announcement of the acquisition. It was announced as if it was just going to be a one time 'gift' and limited offer; but it was rightly decided to be a permanent thing.

  20. Explore using the washed out or very dark or the pastel versions of the the colors. If you use several colors and they're all the same vibrancy, brightness, and saturation... it looks a bit like a box of crayons.

    Wonderful! No more searching Devs individually in Closed Beta anymore!
  22. I nominate me for best nomination.
  23. Funny thing is, Positron was just about to post a public message asking Mr. Power_NA when is he going to be more patient.
  24. The Digests are showing Dev posts made in closed beta. Is this because this is a smart script that knows that I have access to the closed beta forums, or, is this a bug that's showing folks posts they're not supposed to be seeing?
