Hardship

It is worth noting that decreasing the interrupt time does NOT decrease the total cast time. Just the period of time where the power is able to be interrupted is decreased.

So, do PvP IO's scale UP as you level as well? If I slot one at 30, will it grow with me? Or do they only scale down?

Doesn't the fungibility of the salvage now by definition have the same cost within each salvage category of common, uncommon and rare? A Brass is the same cost as an Alchemical Silver because once they go in the AH, they ARE the same salvage. Isn't that how that works?

Reminds me of an experience that I had, I was on a PUG doing old Posi. We had several team wipes in a sewer mission with Vahz in Steel. I wasn't the team leader, but after many wipes, I kind of "lectured" everyone about slowing down, pulling only as many Vahz as we could handle and not getting in over our heads. I proceed to explain that we couldn't just run in to every group and start fighting we had to go slower if we wanted to finish. So, after a long 5 minute lecture, I go to type "Ready?" and forgot to hit "Enter" first and the "R" in ready turned on auto-run. So I RAN, Leeroy Jenkins style, in the huge group of Vahz. Everyone is in chat typing, "What's with Hardship?", "How come Hardship did that?", etc... By the time I got autorun turned off I had aggroed 4 or 5 groups of Vahz. I didn't even try to return the group, I just took my death by typo and started making my way back from the hospital -- with no travel power yet. Surprising though, we did finish the TF and I ended up with a couple of long time server friends out of that session.

This tread talks about how an anti-virus update caused the same problem and his fix. Maybe the same for you?

I did do this eventually. Once I got to IP in regular content and learned about the shop there. I think I must have altitus from the start... Actually Homecoming is probably the LEAST amount of altitus I've had. I have really enjoyed playing my 50 doing raids and trials. I think that the more reachable incarnates has made getting them much less daunting and I have found it enjoyable. I did a Rikti Mothership Raid for the first time the other day, it was a very cool visual when taking down the pylons seeing the whole group "flying" from one pylon to the next.

Do I. That's how "Hardship" came about. I made that hero to level to 6 "real quick" so I could see if I wanted to take Hasten on my Ice / Ice blaster and I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. I had no intention of keeping playing my fire / devices blaster, I just wanted to see how Hasten worked. LOL, fun times!

And... remember when there wasn't collision avoidance on the enemy and if the tank herded them right, ALL of the enemies would jump in and stack on top of on another so that even a single target attack would hit them all? Could literally wipe out an entire map with a good build up, aim and a good single target attack or two?

When you forgot to change the color of your belt (or any other minor cosmetic mess up) in the character creator and then had to sneak all the way to the Icon shop in Steel to make changes. When sidekick / mentor was a one-to-one relationship and you had to balance that with the mission levels.

I don't know for sure what could be causing that. Are you running on PC or Mac? I'm on PC and I just tested the screenshot and it worked fine. I'd check to make sure that you can write to the screenshot directory, it is <game install path>\screenshots Make sure it exists and that it can be written to by your user. Good luck!

I have on more occasions that I should admit to, sold orange salvage in a quick attempt to unload inventory at a vendor. A buy back option would be nice.

I agree it is depressing to see those numbers put out by the leaders. Remember there are random draws for participating in spite of poor machine performance as long as you complete one work unit, your in the draw.

I thought you were being sarcastic Troo. I went in the game last night and looked around HARD for a missed enhancement sorting button that I had missed all this time. LOL.

I think the "/whereami" command will give the map name when you are in an AE mission. It lists Server and Zone/Mission. I think the Zone is the map name, but I'm not sure as I have never made an AE mission to verify.

Keeping one's hair in place is an inherent super power that all heroes get.

You should be able to right click on the one tabs and select the "Move to Bottom" option. That should bring back the 2-pane chat window. From there you can either continue to right click and select move to bottom, or just drag other tabs from the top to the bottom.

What 'Talks'?

I've found that having Recall Friend on your main is helpful for getting your char that is following you back to you when things go awry.

My problems went away after they restarted Excelsior. Sorry that your having problems. Do you get the same behavior on servers others than Indom?

I am also having problems today. Takes a LONG time to load the character screen and change characters on the selection screen. Once I try to enter the game, it sits for a minute or so, then gives some kind of error. First time it was something like "Lost connection to the DBserver" and crashed out. Then was told the account was logged in (as usual when client crashes) and 2nd time logging worked. Still slow, then I tried to log in with the character that had problems last time and was that the character was still logging out. Then I came here looking to see if I was the only one having problems and found this thread.

I just downloaded and ran it. Windows complained at every step that it might be harmful (guessing that the code wasn't signed or something), but my AV software gave it a clean bill of heath. Thanks for the tutorial to get started and explain what the different options are, saved a bunch of time fiddling with it to figure it out. I have a pretty good set of binds already, but this looks like it might be helpful in editing or maintaining them. I particularly like the color and duration options for text binds. The interface was a bit "jumpy". By that I mean when I clicked in an area and it activated new menu components / options, the UI would rearrange to make room for them and "twitch" around. I like the preloads for MM's and inspiration usage. I'll have to look at it closer, but thank you for sharing.

That is good to know -- and different from when I got my PB to 50 back on live. I didn't play much towards the end and didn't know about this change.

So, do human form powers carry over to Kheld forms now? If you hit Light Form, can you then switch to Nova for mighty blasting goodness and retain the Light Form buffs? If so, is this different from live? I don't remember this being the case.

I don't have any network monitoring tools loaded, but Resource Monitor shows that cityofheroes.exe uses about 10,000 B/sec. So, a rough estimate would be 10,000 * 60 *60 = 36000000 B/hour. Divide by 1000 a couple of times and you end up with about 36 MB / hour. Interesting to note that as the mission went on, the B/sec decreased. Down to about 1/2 of that. It did spike up to around 12,000 B/sec at times right at first. I also only ran 1 AE mission to look at this, so your mileage may vary, but I'd say on the outside 50 MB / hour would be a conservative guess. That does not include any download of files due to patching, those could significantly increase the usage.

Congrats to the winners! I'm happy to be part of the team, even if I never win, place or show! It's a good cause.
