That happened to me also. I Deleted the old Map Overlays and DLd the City Mod Installer and uploaded the new Videotmaps. All was fixed. At some point they went to a new Map Overlay. The stopped using the Maps, V_Maps and P_Maps. Do it the new way and you wont have any problems.
So while ToTing tonight I pulled out my Robot MM. (Lvl 43 Robot/FF Leadership/Speed/TP/Charge Mastery)
I noticed every time I leveled All my Bots would take a HUGE hit. From time to time they would all even be wiped out. It happens so quickly but my gut instinct says that just before I get the INS Bonus for leveling all my Defenses would drop for a moment.
Anyone else notice this oddity?
This has been brought up a few times already.
You can create your own channels.
The existing channels cover almost everything. Even with a new channel, one channel or another will still be busy at times. It happens when several hundred people play and talk at the same time
Going to my buddy Dave’s home during Beta play and having him introduce me to CoH. I created a toon and hearing the fan fair music for the first time ever was incredible.
My buddy passed away just before HC launched. He would have loved the fact the game is public again.
The funniest memory I have was the first time I entered Crey’s Folly and punched Rikti Monkey. To my surprise, due to not having limitations in KB, he flew half way across the map. Everyone on my team blew up with laughter.
The biggest “awe” moment was the first time I saw a Tank aggro the entire map in the Woodsman Trial. Watching the Tank run into one of the Volcano pits and the XP and INF numbers just tick off as every baddie on the map follows to their doom.
There are some unusual things that happen with this mish from time to time. If I had to guess a bomb started blinking again due to lag, after you clicked it, saw it was disarmed, and moved on.
Just my guess.
1) wouldn’t changes like those suggested bring back lower level grind?
2) todays game is designed to allow the player to fly past the first 20 levels in a few hours. (Or less)
I hunt GMs almost exclusively on Excelsior. I shout out on multiple channels before attacking the GMs, as others on the server do too.
If I had to give it an average I’d say 1 out 100 GMs are attacked before everyone gets in zone. Even then the game is set up to give you credit even if someone else starts the fight.
The only way your claim holds a tiny bit of water is if you are an extremely low level toon with no travel powers or temps. The time it would take for you to go from say AP to KR may possibly be longer than the time it takes to destroy the GM for example. The game has travel short cuts if this is the case, you may want to invest the time in gaining this travel power.
