Replace, yes, but remember it's only on your end, so everyone Else sees the sword as is unless you change the colors.

It's been a while, so maybe you sorted it out, but if this is the First time you're playing, then check things related to your internet and the game. The main ones being that you've told your AV/Firewall to allow the game through. I "believe" it asks the first time you ever launch the game, but the game is in front of the popup asking you to allow it to happen. In this case, you can Alt+Tab to that message and approve it. There's a way to pre-approve I believe, but I've never done this.

For someone who's not yet into "fine tuning the numbers", Will this allow itself to be installed into another location without interfering with the existing version that I have? Since you mentioned the "messes with old builds" that I'll need to sort out.

Just the basics to check first: Make sure the game is not installed to a system controlled folder (My Docs, Downloads, Program Files, etc) Best choice is something like C:\Games\City of Heroes The game is portable in that you can drag the whole folder to a new one, but make sure to correct your shortcuts if you do (desktop link, the MODs app if you're using it, etc) Whitelist the Game folder in your AV/Firewall Most know this by now, but people have said that some AV's definition updates are mucking things up When downloading Anything, it's possible for things to get corrupted, but this is pretty specific. I've seen it mentioned before on the forums, so a quick search for say "data files" may prove helpful until the next GM browses through.

I see this being locked by Monday, but just because other servers don't care to risk the chance of being squished doesn't mean HC does anytime soon. They took a risk as it was when they began their journey and have made Every effort to bring the game back well and beyond what we can see. I understand what people who stream are getting at, but I'd be willing to bet that those who read their streaming platform EULAs may find that it violates even That platform's guidelines.

This is basically an extension of the many "we need more base storage" threads where essentially the same requests have been made. I feel your pain, but there are many reasons this won't work and they all revolve around the base code of the game. Something they won't be able to solve unless they rebuilt it from scratch.

I had an issue for a while (not sure it was a Win10 issue) where the taskbar being on auto-hide would cause the area where it was to become unusable in FS mode. Additionally, you are able to tell the notification center to be quite during certain situations and times.

Someone mentioned that you can right click and check the system properties on the app to see if it's being blocked (and then unblock it). It was likely a definitions update that triggered it.

. . . Oh wait, wrong D*

But but but...what about all that TS I don't pay for but am entitled to?!?!?! /sarcasm

Heh, I tend to slot Acc first, then DMG, then Rech in most cases that have them. I remember well before the temp attack powers when that was a more deadly issue than it is now. Now a days, you use the temp attacks as your attack chain fillers as you level up.

Yeah, I've done that a few times testing out what filetypes browsers will open. :p

Yep, that's "Stage 2: Advanced Slotting" :p

You mean like the sign for the gaming stores and actually good restaurants that are no longer there. 😞

That makes sense as that's how they'd manage localization voices (if introduced).

Checking the AV was a good start as is your general firewall options, but checking your network settings on the device is good as well. @GM Tahquitz, you always seem to know something about networking.

Nice, all good things to look into when I get a chance. I've been around since i2, but somewhere around i13 (I think) I took a break for a little while and kind of lost a lot of understanding. I tend to get most of the concepts, but, like many, get lost in the numbers more often than not. I do know that there's always been some powers where you kind of want one of each slotted and others where just a recharge is sufficient as the power doesn't seem to give a good reason to slot anything else (the trade-off between slotting your attacks vs lesser powers). I'm not sure I'll Ever get into sets TBH as I'm pretty casual and tend to Solo (unless requested otherwise), so I've mostly dealt with SOs for simplicity. Well, that and the upper tier powers.

I'm not entirely sure what this would be called, so I'll go with the above. I also need to note that I'm not actively looking to mess with this, but I'd like something I can read back on later. Essentially, I'm looking for a sort of guide that helps with choosing the "best" case for slotting on a per power basis (not a small request) as I'm notorious for slotting things more than necessary or with Enhancements that end up being pointless. Also, to minimize the headache, let's stick to Regular Single Origin based slotting as I'm more concerned about how effective the actual enhancements are. Sure, there's Mids, but that doesn't seem to help if you don't understand what's pointless or not. I'll try for an example: Midnight Grasp accepts Accuracy, Damage, Endurance Reduction, Immobilization, Recharge Reduction, and To-Hit Debuff. Now, MY instinct is almost always to go with one of each for powers like this that have a large variety, give or take the amount of Endurance the power seems to take, but it may be that say Recharge Reduction could be pointless as some powers recharge super fast. Taking into account that I generally take triple slotted hasten as my Auto (or not if it doesn't matter), do we have a guide that covers something like this? If not, can we maybe get something that covers a power-by-power as a guide from somebody that understands the numbers very well? Acknowledging that how many slots you allocate depends on the power choices and character focus, I still feel like there has to be a +/- baseline for most powers on what is useful/essential and what is optional/pointless in most cases. A guide like this would be pretty big and likely in a PDF format or split into individual powerset guides.

If this had been an actual poll, then information would have been provided to give members some arbitrary choice based on limited information. Again, this is only a test

Nice idea, but I'd perhaps avoid posting the "founding of" until all the NCSOFT stuff (finally) allows for an official approval of said servers.

Feel free to use either (Old/New), but this is easier usually:

Try This http://www.shenanigunner.com/ And now we realize what we've done. >.<

Heh, I'd be doing the same if my funky config didn't basically break it, but for "normal" people, it's not a problem. 😉
