  • regarding your paragraph: [quote]Knowing I would be writing this editorial I purposely entered Alterac Valley to try something. I did not engage in one single combat for an entire hour. I wracked up honorable kills from my party and looted any cor…
  • played AC for a while. at level 1 I was tinkering and hitting mobs with a dagger at levl 126 I was tinkering and hitting mobs with a dagger   Played EQ, at level 1 I was hitting mobs with a sword at level 65 I was hitting mobs with a sword…
  • no, it is not required for you to keep the CD in the drive.  nor has it ever been required. AFAIK it is universal that Pay to Play games do not require a CD in the drive. When all else fails, Poke 'em in the eye with a good sharp stick.
  • Originally posted by RaddMonz Originally posted by Alient I don't understand the problem with the storyline behind CoH. I like the storylines and am waiting to see them in the comic books they are going to be distributing. I like the stor…
  • well, City of heroes is known to have 200,000 subscribers, it is common knowledge that at prime time 20% of your subscriber base is online, CoH has 11 servers so on a normal night 4K or so people are online on each server and servers show on the log…
  • I like the backstories.  so far almost every mob (one exception, but it may be explained later or I might have missed it) has had a backstory, a reason to be where it is doing what it is doing.  Finding those backstories can be a huge diversion.  ad…
  • AC2 is, pretty.  The graphics engine is and always has been the most detailed out there, with textures so fine a top end system could take 6X magnification Screenshots without losing detail. That being said it labors under the remains of its absol…
  • Originally posted by jgrant44 The other complaint I had with the combo I made up was that I always had a delay when switching between Electric Fence and my attacks using Assault Rifle.  With another power, maybe one of the fire, ice or energy line…
  • heh, the imagined "nerfs" i the patch were 3 fold. 1: Slow powers no longer can be used to Hold mobs immobile/helpless. This only makes sense, if you want ot hold a mob immobile use a Root, if you want him helpless get a controller with a Hold ski…
  • Originally posted by halby If you like AC or AC2 so much, why did you buy a new game?   COH is different, get over it? They can't get over it,  you see their Guild/Monarchy/whatever left to play CoH and they can't afford the price so they are …
  • Update your Video Driver. Update your SOund drivers. Turn off 3rd Party Text Messaging apps (MSMessenger, ICQ, Yahoo messager, that type) and don't run that POS free version of Zonealarm while playing, its not gonna help you if anyone installs…
  • so far, every old time AC1 player I've known go looking for a new game has...   Gone back to AC1.  You can try FFXI or Horizons, or Lineage2 or what ever you want, but nothing has the same kind of hook as AC1 had. When all else fails, Poke '…
  • actually, if you take the time to look more closely at CoH Defender and Controller Powersets there are actually very few heals in them, most of their skills are buffs and debuffs to mitigate damage instead of direct heals.  rendering your entire arg…
  • Capes are hard to do well.  basicly you have 2 options to do an easy cape, either 1: stiff as a board capes (DaoC, WoW) or non-sizable avatars and no projecting parts (Tails, Spikes) or you have horrible clipping issues with any generic cape.  To…
  • yes, it runs great with most newer cards (last 2 years) its only with much older cards that there starts to be problems or with on board video devices (which suck anyway). When all else fails, Poke 'em in the eye with a good sharp stick.

  • interestingly there seems to be plans for occasional updates in addition to expansions. in other words, free auto patching updates every few months like AC1/DM/2 does plus big expansions now and then that have to be purchased.  should make for a …
  • I THINK (and a BIG think there) that second zones may lock to entry when the first zone gets sufficiently empty that a second zone is no longer needed to sort of filter it down so the second instance can close down.  but that is a guess based only o…
  • people are wierd.  If you make a character named "Squall" with storm summoning and electirc blast in a white tights outfit, black skin and white hair (long#4) you're gold, you LOOK like storm, have the same basic skill set, and what not even have a …

  • alot of the low requirements from CoH comes from it not using the same graphic protocol as everyone else... of course, this means it has less compatibility with video cards, but it runs better on the cards it IS compatible with. When all else …

  • depends. if you're looking to lead a group and haveing trouble finding the folks you want for your group its a good idea to hit the number 1 zone because of the larget numbers, but generally the higher number zones are less crowded so are better f…
