  1. Select windowed mode when using that setting. It still fills your screen, and looks exactly the same. That's what I had to do.

    COH on Windows 7

    Ok, now I am worried. I am about to buy a new computer loaded with Windows 7. From what I see in this thread, CoH isn't really compatible with Windows 7. Although, there are those who are using it successfully. I'm hesitant to buy a new system fearing that I will be one of those who won't be able to run CoH. Perhaps I should wait a while for NCSoft to make coding changes that will let the game run will all it's goodies set on high (my new computer will have awesome graphics.) I already know that Everquest 2 (which is much more graphic intensive than CoH) runs great on Windows 7, so whatever it is with CoH.. it's something with the program and not with Windows 7.
  5. The Sister Psyche Task Force is the third of six Freedom Phalanx Task Forces, and the completion of all six grants the Task Force Commander Badge. The other five task forces are started by Positron, Synapse, Citadel, Manticore, and Numina.

    This task force is also designated as a Signature Task Force. As such, missions will always spawn mobs at level 25 or higher, regardless of team members' levels.

  10. The Synapse Task Force is the second of six Freedom Phalanx Task Forces, and the completion of all six grants the Task Force Commander Badge. The other five task forces are started by Positron, Sister Psyche, Citadel, Manticore, and Numina.

    The task force's missions are all against Clockwork. One of the later missions spawns the Giant Monster Babbage.

    This task force is also designated as a Signature Task Force. As such, missions will always spawn mobs at level 20 or higher, regardless of team members' levels.

  12. I had a great time. I am looking forward to the taskforce on Saturday but I still haven't decided which toon to bring.
  13. I'm home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. There will be no taskforce October 10 due to very busy RL situations. (I'm on vacation.) So I am getting the ball rolling for our next event in two weeks. It's time to start over with Positron - level 10-15, so get out your young toons for a rollicking good time. Remember, if you have a character who is under level 50, you will get xp while mentored. You will also have all powers up to 5 levels above the level of the tf. That is so awesome!

    Starting time is 1:00 Eastern Time. Meet by Positron in Steel Canyon. I will be the official organizer of these weekend events, and will be leading team one. Chelle will be leading team two.

    *New note (Oct. 6) I am trying to keep up with the signups while I am on vacation in Montreal (aren't I the dedicated one.) If I can't put you on the team you want, the team rosters can be rearranged before we begin.
    **Another new note (Oct. 12) I'll be officially back on the 13th. Right now I'm in Albany. Sorry Doc, I didn't get online yesterday to update the roster. I would never banish you/

  15. Is Contained Fire a friend of yours? I'd sure love to have a rad on the team.
  16. Mega Ton - MissKittyCat is illusion/emp troller. There should be ample buffing. Belle is a kin, so she can keep the healing up for you, and MKC can split her time up between using her pets to stop the repairmen from healing the towers, and providing the other buffs for you. Unless anyone has any other suggestions.. I'm open to any. I've done this tf many times, mostly with my blasters, my scrapper, my earth/rad, and MKC.
  17. Team Two needs a tank. This tf will be impossible to complete without one.
  18. Freedom Force is entrusting us with some of the most serious tasks imaginable. Having rescued Statesman from both the Praetorians and then Reichsman, our next task is a preemptive strike into Rogue Isles territory. Statesman has returned to monitoring Lord Recluse's plans for World Domination, and our role is to cripple Arachnos' ability to complete their Web system. We begin this endeavor expecting heavy resistance, and likely Recluse's lieutenants will be prepared.


    Saturday October 3rd 1:00pm EST (12 noon CST) (10:00am PST)
    Meet by Statesman in Independence Port
    The range requirement is 45-50


    Team One (Invincible):



    1. Johnny Taxibot (team lead) - lvl 50 Elec/Energy blaster


    2. Eloras L50 All Stone Tank
    3. Maurya (lvl 50 energy/electric/electric blaster) or Isotope 167 (level 48 rad/dark/dark defender).
    4. Ullikummus - toon to be announced
    5. Scheol - FF/ice defender
    6. Brother Glacier (lvl 50 Cold/Ice defender)
    7. Wacky Weed (50 Emp/Earth Troller)
    8. Minnie Taxi




    Team Two (Heroic):

    1. mscats (team lead) >> MissKittyCat (lvl 50 ill/emp troller) I also have a fire/kin with very alert imps.


    2. Ironblade - scrapper
    3. Doctor A Science - toon to be announced
    4. Gillian Boardman
    5. Taxibot Chelle
    6. Taxibot Belle - defender
    7. Mega Ton - tank
    8. Contained Fire

    Extras - Possible Team 3
    1. Orion Energy
    2. Danalla Skysong
    3. Golden Speedster

    Notes:
    1. This is a task force challenge series, where both teams will seek a reasonably high difficulty level, depending upon the team composition.
    2. We do not generally speed run these adventures, though we do seek to make good time and enjoy being in the story.
    3. When doing a higher level challenge, the team lead needs to be in the zone before anyone enters the mission. Otherwise, the mission difficulty will default back to Heroic.
    4. For team composition, the suggestion is to have 1-2 tankers, and 2-3 blasters for AoE crowd control. However, we will not blindly attempt a difficulty that is beyond the team makeup. When unsure, we begin at Tenacious and gradually increase the difficulty.
    5. For Teams Two and Three, it is asked that there be a tanker for each team to provide good aggro management.
    6. To achieve the Master of the Statesman Task Force badge (MotSTF), the Statesman Task Force must be completed with zero defeats, and no temp powers. If the team composition is good, then we CAN attempt this, though Team One will dial the difficulty back down to Heroic in this case. This will be a team decision on Saturday.
    7. Part of this adventure involves obtaining a device from the Thorn Tree. When the Thorn Tree is defeated, there will be a glowie that MUST be clicked by a tanker. The tactical reason is that the tanker will be capable of SURVIVING long enough to use the device on Dr. Aeon later in the adventure

    I will have an abundance of very nice, friendly, even cuddly cooties for you, Ironblade. They will be wearing yellow and black checkered outfits.. and their names will be:

    Taxibot Cootie 1 through Taxibot Cootie 100.

    Our cooties are much nicer than the cooties on Team 1.
  20. Freedom Phalanx is entrusting us with some of the most serious tasks imaginable. Last time, we prevented the Rikti from utilizing human psychics to stabilize portals to the Rikti homeworld, and heroes from throughout Paragon rallied to repel the retaliatory Rikti raid. We promised Lady Grey that we would remain strong despite the tragic fate of Hero 1, though now it appears that villains are planning to steal the time capsule of Hero 1.

  21. Freedom Phalanx is entrusting us with some of the most serious tasks imaginable. In our recent Shadow Shard adventures, the Rikti made an attempt to form an allegiance with (or gain control of) the Rularuu. Now the Rikti are kidnapping human psychics in an effort to re-stabilize their homeworld portals. Any Rikti reinforcements would be devastating for the Rikti to obtain a means of obtaining reinforcements, so we MUST put a stop to this. We'll begin by rescuing one of the captured psychics that the Rikti consider to be a high priority: Miss Penelope Yin.

    Invincible Faathim the Kind Task Force



    Quote:
    Faathim: Freedom Phalanx considers you worthy of the most serious tasks imaginable. I am Faathim, called Faathim the Kind. You are beings of great power, both potent in might and dedicated to protection of the defenseless. I have watched your battles, and I have watched your triumphs, and I have come to think that you may be the ones who can stop a great destruction. The Madness that broke the world is gaining power beyond imagining, and may soon break the world once more. Or worse.


    Go now, and fall upon the armies of the Rularuu. Destroy all of them within the three caverns I have located for you, and then return to me.
