[Wrong game version repeats]

25 minutes ago, VULCAN said:

  Well my tequila has done great jobs since many years so I did not feel the necessity to stop using it.
Anyway now I've changed to HC launcher so it's ok.
Unfortunately it does not work the same way tequila did 😞 I can only log once, whereas it was easy on tequila to use my two accounts simultaneously. How can we do the same with this officila launcher ? 

 

Settings and check the box 'Allow mutiple instances'

[Victory Roll Call]

I wasn't on the 'new' server but live Victory was where I play my villains.  Unfortunate I was playing on blue side more and that...

this Thugs/Poison Mastermind was my only level 50.

Is anyone else having problems getting on Breakout?  I'm logged into the launcher, have verified the files, have deleted and reinstalled (and re-verified) - and every time I get to the server select screen it hangs.

Just tried it myself and seems to just hang once I click on Breakout, but if I wander off and come back between 1min and 5, it's kicked me to

"The game client was unable to connect to the login server." etc...

 

 

 

Ah, so that's why.  Same here and I thought it was all on my end.

[Wentworth's Teleport Power Gone?]

I miss the WW teleport power but only sentimental reasons.  Does this mean characters pre 27p1 keep the old ww teleport and new characters get the brainstorm power?  I am still tping around Wentworth with my old characters and usually log off at an auction house / black market with many characters. 

 

I've only used those on one of the TFs, Citadel, I believe.  On the part where you have to go to a contact after a mission in Steel Canyon near the train.

I could have sworn there was a .ogg for silence floating around the forum already.  I dont have it since i dont use sound mods.  I did find this toned down sounds mod though and the people were happy with the demon MM sounds being reduced.

There's one in the OP of the Silencing/Modifying specific game sounds thread, and there may be others floating about.

 

I may have come across one of those as the file I'm using is showing as created on Oct. 31, 2020.  I was actually going to attach said file from an earlier reply but, I kept having upload errors.  13.3 KB in size so its not like it was above the limit of the 4.88 MB, I'm not sure what's going on there.

Sure. I don't even know how to make an .ogg file, but I'll just make one and hope I don't crash my game. (Which is a reason why I don't use any of the player made mods that are available. They tend to crash my game.)

 

It's been a while since I've done that one, so sorry I couldn't assist on this part.

Ahh. Ok. I'll try that. thanks.

 

Sure thing!

Just tried it and it didn't change. =(

I put mine in CoH\data\Sound\Ogg\Powers where my other sound mods are located.

 

not the 'powers' sub-folder within the Ogg, create another sub-folder named DemonSummoning and place it there.

 

 

[Gagging the Gargoyles]

This sounds like the "DemonLieu_Taunt_01.ogg".

 

Create a silent .ogg file with that exact name and place it in:

data\sound\Ogg\DemonSummoning

[Chat Bubble Revamp + Roleplaying Mode]

Invisible chat bubbles and text?  This can be done, however it's somewhat annoying to do.  Copy the following to notepad/wordpad.

<bgcolor #0000001><color #0000001><bordercolor #0000001>

 

Then copy/paste it on chat... now the 'annoying' part, every single time, you have to make sure the cursor is at the end before typing your message.  You could bind it but, you'll have to keep doing the same thing too whenever you enter your message.

[Some way to track hours played]

Tried it. It actually works! Thank you, I've never heard of that trick before.

 

You're welcome!  But yea, it's using up 'useless' 2... 3? gb of space if done this way.

[Some way to track hours played]

If you have any of the Steam version of CoH, you could technically use that to track your hours played.  It wouldn't be accurate now if you're only about to this and if you already have play time recorded from back on live.

 

You'll have to redownload/reinstall the old files though (via Steam, of course), after that, right click on 'City of Heroes' from your library list.  Click 'Properties' from the pull down menu and from the General tab below, for the Launch Options, type:

 

"C:\Homecoming\bin\win64\launcher.exe" %command%

 

win32 if you're using 32-bit to run the game and the target location of launcher.exe should be where you've installed it if anywhere else.  Finally, run it like a regular Steam game.

 

Now I don't know if this is allowed though 😅

[Problem getting the Clubber Day Job Badge]

13 hours ago, SaddestOne said:

I was thinking that to be on the pocket D's AE near the terminals (as i have the icon of the clubber day job badge appearing with the stack of all the other icon on top right of the screen)  that it should work...

 

                                                                                       

 

 

An alt that got this one recently:

 

As others have already said, anywhere in Pocket D will do as long as you're not too close to other Day Job spots in the area.  Though you are also correct that that's usually the 'cue' that you should've been earning the badge.

I voted for CoH and EVE and none of you can stop me 😤

And I voted for CoH and SWG, because SWG was my first MMO.  I bought my first PC specifically for it too. 😜

[A Non-Super's Challenge]

That would be a pain though... especially at the higher levels.

 

Sorry, but it did got me thinking that if I'd give some meaning between the different enhancements, it would be:

 

Training - your average/untrained/self taught 'hero/villain'

Dual Origin - had *some* sort of training, like someone who took self defense classes

Single Origin - these would be characters that had actual combat/military training

IOs and everything else - these would be the lucky ones that are actually super powered and even when untrained, they wouldn't break a sweat against an untrained regular person

[A Non-Super's Challenge]

A 'non-super/average' civilian means you have to use Training Enhancements only. 😉

[Attuned and Non-Attuned Set Bonuses]

Those only apply to ATOs from the Super Packs that can be....... superiorized...(?) when you hit level 50.  Namely the Archetype Specific ATOs and Winters.

[Proliferation of Talons Bottom costume to Skirts/Shorts]

Ah!  Gotcha, yea, I can somewhat remember cycling through the boots and felt some were missing when changing from tights/bare bottom to skirt.  I just didn't looked into it since they weren't pieces I needed at the time.

They probably meant the npc costume piece... um 'Talons_Banshee', I think is what it's called.

Go for the Incarnate Thread and Empyrean route to craft Incarnate Abilities and spend them on rare and/or very rare Incarnate components.

[Emotion flypose not working]

On 12/6/2020 at 8:58 PM, Jacke said:

Besides the limitations @GM Impervium mentioned, while doing some testing I found the flypose# emotes also don't work with alternate fly powers, like the temp jetpacks, Mystic Flight, etc.

My flyers all use Mystic Flight now and majority of my alts are 'flyers'.  I don't know why it's not working for you but, I don't have any issues with the flyposes.  I'd post screenshots but servers are down atm.

[CoH community is divided between 5 basic groups that see things differently]

... This has... never been the case. No, you can't drop him into the lava and do anything, but he's still cheesily easy for anyone. Yes, even a tanker.

 

I mean, the encounter is "Get to Trapdoor. Punch Trapdoor repeatedly until he's at 20-25% health and gives up." It's doable with any character. Even on SOs.

'Hit and Run' works well on him too and also against Protean.

 

From far away click your high damage melee attack, jump next to him and quickly jump away before the animation starts and roots you.  Your attack will hit while you're jumping safely away from melee range.  Repeat when 'safe'.

[Blaster Beta Decay Detoggles When Mezzed]

Not a bug.

 

"Until Issue 13, many status effects forced toggles to shut off. Currently, only toggles that affect enemies will detoggle when affected by status effects."

[Tails In Place Of Feet]

I'm not going to deny it though, I want/could use the tail piece as well.

[Tails In Place Of Feet]

'Not pretty' as in you get a bland feelling when majority of attacks aren't animating 😜

 

I've had this done on an Earth/Psi Dominator and only 2... no maybe 3 of the attack animations worked:

 

[Tails In Place Of Feet]

Have a GM turn you into one of those ....Gorgon(?) Talons of Vengeance Elite Boss.  Only a few attack animations work with it.  It's not broken but at the same time, not really pretty at all.
