[City Of Heroes won't start up.]

hm, no obvious error, maybe one of the devs can look into it... it starts the process then exit for no reason.. maybe try to launch the Launcher with as "run as admin".

[City Of Heroes won't start up.]

You may want to post a part of the launcher log file, it should show where the problem is.. could be part of missing CC or even the missing OpenGL Driver for the GPU.

 

This Installation Guide should be helping, check if u fit all steps listes inside it, some we can scratch away already and the Tequila Parts u dont need of course 🙂 .

 

["Defeat All" mission completed despite enemy left on map.]

well CoT have a self rez type too the little tongue monster lieuts rez... but could be a patrol or such.. maybe they dont count cause they are roaming around?

[Does Enhancement Diversification (ED) limit global buffs?]

Enhancement Set bonuses offer many global boosts as well. 

 

Well they have their own rule/limit which have to be considered too.

 

No more then 5 Boost of the same Number/Type allowed.

As example 5 x 5% Recharge bonus, the 6th wouldnt count anymore.. a 7,5% would though cause it wouldnt be the exact same.

Thats an very old Issue.. for me Fullscreen back on Live always got the Blackscreen issue... always had to do a windowed style mode for screenshotting.

"Scrappers? Pfff...weak hp, mobs always running away, and they never read chat. Useless. And their damage ain't that great. Damn crits always happen when the mob is 90% dead. Useless." 
"Corruptors? Ugh! No mez protection, and half of them forget they have a secondary. And the other have forget they have a primary. And they always make me type "scourge" when the npc is at less than half health. Arrogant bastards." 
"Kheldians? zomg! Nice effects, but they can't do anything very well. And if you go tri-form, you need 40 more slots, at least to make them good. And ya gotta be a damned bind & Macro master to play one" 
"Veats? What a joke. Damn things are end heavy, weak in damage unless you proc 'em. And even then not so good. I'd sooner die than make one of those again. If they didn't have such good team buffs, nobody would let them on their team." 
 

You said it.. but in evry statement of these there is a grain of truth, albeit it is what it should be, every AT should be different feeling and have a different role, else we would not be needing ATs.. and even in the same AT u feel different, no one can tell me a Katana/Regen Scrapp feels the same as a Kinetic/Dark Armor one and so on, sure there are parts they have in common, but are not the very same.

 

Or a Mind Troller with no Pets the same as an Illusion Troller (the 2 most exotic ones of them in the different end of spectrum). Some bad things like for Kheldians could be better, but we have em and we play em as they are, until it will be changed or not. And yes my Burnout solution is to play different Games until the Urge (which is on a daily Base) calls me back to COH too 🙂 .

Nope you're doing a Schwarzenegger on them killer.

lol u mean a T-800 move like in Terminator 2, when he crashed and disabled dozen police cars and the men hiding behind em without hurting one.......

 

If my memory serves right though "Villains" dont mean us player created Chars on Red Side, but any villain we patch a hospital/prison porter on their backside, the system was online before City of Villains existed.

 

Well how else would be the Brickstown Prison be filled... we would need a Morgue instead.

I dont use my forum name in-game, mostly because I dont really want the DM's I get in-game to follow me back to the forum (still trying to find a way to set my in-game account to hidden so I can just PLAY the game sometimes).

 

/hide in the chatbox and an very old popup menu shows itself then, u can select from whom u want to be hidden... old but not forgotten (at least by me) 🙂

[Does anyone still have the comics?]

[Does anyone still have the comics?]

The Digital Access on the homepage came years later for all that had missed the comics only the wedding issue and the midnight Hour issue (maybe the dark horse issue too) was directly provided online , A Cat did link it in his Post 🙂 .

I still have them in one of my comic boxes.

Not like I pull them out to read them as they were pretty much garbage comics.

On the plus side they were better than the Champions comic books.

 

So weird that the City of Heroes was seen as being the highest selling comic books each month when they were printed ... simply because they were being mailed to all City of Heroes subscribers! 

Erm u are not fully correct there, they was only mailed to the subscribers on North American Continent, i never got one automatically,.. i had to buy and deliver em on my cost to me in Europe, but its was worth it to me.

[Does anyone still have the comics?]

Yes i still have all of em, Blue Kings Studios and the Top Cow ones.. they also was available back on live from the CoH Homepage as PDF download.

[Add an option to autoaccept resurrections]

Sometimes, I die and use the chance to go AFK because the team is busy fighting in a tough spot. Then a teammate attempts to rez me, and it fails, because I'm not there to accept it.

I can't think of a scenario where I don't want to be rezzed, anyway. Certainly, there's in theory the chance of malicious rezzes to stack up the debt. I could see that being a factor in the original design. Nowadays, I don't think that's too relevant - at least, I think it'd be nice to have the option to autoaccept rezzes.

Well think harder.. many times in later content i choose not to rez right away.. either cause i still have the aggro that killed me.. or some mechanic like the death auras in itrials... yes i look at you Keyes, MoM Itrial or Apex TF..... what sense it would make to be rezzed and die right away cause u cannot move away fast enough until the animation wait time is over.... but im okay for an option for those that wants it.... its your debt farm 😅.

[Description for Speed Boost is incorrect]

its just outdated... it was like most buff powers once single target (bubbles, sonic shields, thermal shields, cold shields to just name a few), thankfully that was changed at some point so we have less clicker work. An yes we need fast recharge.. cause buffing a team is like herding a sack of fleas.. always someone jumps or runs away etc.....

[Laptops and COH: A Modern Guide]

a gaming laptop maybe need more cooling.... i got some 3 vents below this laptop i use mainly use for browser games, but there are other cooling options with up to 6 ventilators.

 

For CoH only she may not need it, but who knows what she is playing tomorrow and laptops need cooling more then anything else.

[Constantly Running]

Did he tried it with deactivated integrated mousepad. Are any other background Programs running that could steal keyboard attention just ran into something like this last week at work.

 

A Colleague couldnt hit @ anymore cause a different Program deactivated the Alt Gr Key.

 

Also let him check his keybinds. not that he assigned run to a different key by accident.

[playerslot.txt 0 bytes]

or maybe u dont have write enabled.. window's file rights can sometimes be clumsy.. allowing to create something but not changing it anymore after creating.

 

Is your COH Located on OS Partition?  Maybe a Windows Patch happenend....

 

Try Resetting the rights to Folder and Files coh is installed too and make sure the account you are using is set to modify or full rights. And not a basic thing like evryone is denied to do it.... deny rights are treated higher value then allow rights for that matter.

 

[Dismiss my detective?]

erm patch notes... this is so we can get the detective (outside) we always wanted, not the one inside 🙂 .

 

That u have to rezone after dismissing him i do too find not very good but probably there are reasons for it,.. i can live with it.

 

 

[Clicking P2W option sometimes opens Recipes instead]

I can only say on 90 chars it have not happened to me, is the p2w window maybe overlapping with your Powerbar so it could have read the otherwise correct click wrong?

[AI pathing in sewer maps]

1st map of Positron 2 TFs.. pets/henchmen get always stuck before the 1st big room.

[Placate not causing Hidden?]

Chilling embrace has slow aura component that affects foes, (at least the similar power on my ice blaster does) so that would break it.

 

Not sure if Hide suppress aura, stealth dont, it did it for a short time before last changes though.

[Game crashes when loading on specific character]

thats for sure that u dont need that, over the years this occured many Times.

[Game crashes when loading on specific character]

try to verify files before starting game next time.. if it still happens u probably will need to call a GM to restart the Mercy Map on Mapserver for the char to be loading again, or after next server maintenance on tuesday it should work again of course too.
