  2. oic. I can never farm enough for that to ever happen.

    sure, i'll look u up on freedom when i'm there on my very dusty lvl13 toon.

    @mintmiki if you're ever on Triumph
  3. how do you trade farms?


    btw, I'm the total opposite of evrything you mentioned (except maybe long walks, and AT themed teams :P) I phail at PvP, TF constantly, and for me, farming makes: face-->keyboard plant + zzzzzz

  7. Thanks devs!!!

    I have a GMA 950 Video card. Went on the training room and the mouse did not jump. Opened up the enhancement window (although the cursor disappeared completely when I selected an enhancement).

    I'm very very happy! Can't wait till it goes to the live servers!

    Thanks for your patience!
    So how will the enter key function then? And what will function as the "return" key?

    No, forgive me. I usually bring them down to half life then finish them off with snapshot (slotted for distance) or a flaming arrow.

  14. My first and favorite 50 is an emp/archer.

    Soloing took some work, but I figured out a way to make it work. Now I can solo her through mishes fine, albeit a little slower than maybe a scrapper or blaster. Because archery is a ranged-type power, you have to play it that way. Stay out of melee, kite around, and, for me personally, stealth +LoTG set and Celerity +stealth in Super Speed.

    The snipe power in Archery is one of the best that I've encountered. It's only downfall is the very very long activation time (a prob with the whole powerset). I'll usually single out a troublesome boss or lts. and kill it with the snipe. then Rain of Arrows, exploding arrow, and flaming arrow = all dead.

    Epic powers also help. Rain of Arrows + power boost = awesome.
    Rain of Arrows + power boost + buffs from others = moar awesome.
    The best times are when you see a mob of ten get hit by "300 300 300 300"
    luv it!

    my second 50 was a fire/fire blaster. When I started playing her, I got frustrated at the lack of accuracy. I grew so used to the inherent acc in Archery.

    mouse bug fixed?

    yeah, i went back and it's still there for my GMA 950. I think I had set my mouse to click in the center, so I didn't realize it. I was really hopeful for a second there. Oh well, still bugged. The wait continues...

    mouse bug fixed?

    I've been playing on the test server (per cuppa's suggestion) and found that the bug is MUCH less noticeable. The cursor still jumps a little, but not to the extent it does on the live servers. By the way, I'm on a GMA 950 mac.

    so, good news!
  17. i'll probably be lurking around that time. i can bring damage or support.

    I'm not a member, but I tend to team up with peeps on Apex pretty often in the evenings. They have a channel you have to be invited to join. @rook is one of the leaders who's online pretty often.

    Fastest MoSTF?

    Gratz!

    but def not the fastest...there are peeps on Triumph who have run it at 30something min. They also do back-to-back LGTF/ITFs in 50 some mins total.
  20. LOL @ cath for kicking this guy in the nuts

    My intial post was in response to the OP's response to someone else.

    The second response I gave was in response to the first.

    This is, after all, a forum (i.e., a place for discussion).

    I get where you're coming from suckerpunch. I know it's not fun to see so many threads with a negative tint. There are a number of mac users out there that are very happy with the COH as it currently runs, and I used to be one of them.

    I think most of us for whom gameplay has become difficult (due to the bug) do not mean disrespect for the OP. Its just that a compliment for a bugged issue feels a bit counterproductive to what we felt has been a struggle to get dev/official response for.

    We GMA people feel nervous that the devs might one day just throw up their hands about it and say, "look! we have enough mac users happy enough with the game as is, so let's just wash our hands of the whole GMA population and go from there." In which case, those of us who have decided to wait patiently for help, will have to decide whether or not to stay with the game ( ).

    Therefore (if you want a direct connection to the original topic) the point of this response is: Does this version of Mac CoH merit a compliment even if it doesn't function properly for all supported Mac platforms?

    Yes, You're right. It only affects those mac users with a GMA video card, something that came standard with all macbooks up until maybe one or two years ago.

    Cuppamanga's already been through this, there are two types of GMA cards with which the glitch occurs. One that is supported and one that is not. My mac book, because it is an ancient 3 year old, has the unsupported one. However, they still need to do something to fix the bug because it also occurs with the supported card.

    Because my personal computer is not officially supported, I have resigned myself to the crappy play experience because i like the game and the people.

    I'm just stating tht my dissapointment is greater than my appreciation atm. I am very much hoping that they will be able to resolve the issue for us despite our lack of hardware or inability to purchase new ones.

I'm still high on the fact that they're supporting the Mac at all.

    That's because you're just starting off with the mac version of the software. The rest of us have gotten used to playing the game without having to spend 20 min clicking and clicking and clicking to slot enhancements or have to jump to click on a teammate in a screen full of zombies (or anything for that matter).

    I've gotten a prompt response from support regarding my petitions, but the response has been pretty much: we don't know and are working on it.

    It's like if your arm gets chopped off and the hospital are friendly and quick about checking you in. However, they take a long time to reattach your arm. Sure you can praise them for being nice, but it doesn't get you your arm back.

    At this point, I'm pretty much resigned to living the rest of my life as a one-armed-man.
