Marine X

Had Early Mission completes early this morning on both of the first two missions from Angus McQueen on Reunion Shard. The first mission completed once I rescued the last person, but still had 1 computer to access, which I found and accessed afterward. The second mission completed after I disabled the last device, but still had 1 person to rescue, who I then found and rescued. Not a big deal but a little bit odd to have 2 missions in a row do that.

It's sometimes not as much fun to be a Hero in the real world, but it matters a great deal more. Glad to see there are still some out there.

Zone Maps are typically Fogged on a new Toon unless you explore them or use the Reveal Power from P2W Vendor.

Ah, the good old days..... 1) Debt from level 1, lots of debt, plenty for everyone. 2) Not understanding how difficulty settings worked ( rep asked how you wanted the city to perceive you, I chose INVINCIBLE, ouch, why are they all purple? ) 3) No Capes for you, only Statesman gets these, period, for a while, and that costume, you are going to just have to live with it. 4) Influence and Enhancements is all you got, no salvage or recipes, nope, and you'll like it, bunch of real poor heroes, scraping by to afford enhancements 5) Only 5 archetypes: Blaster, Defender, Controller, Scrapper and Tanker.

Great Find and Ideas, that's a one time opportunity for a Badge to connect to the real world and Bicentennial would be a great Badge Name.

Ran into a trio of Crey Protectors in Crey's Folly over the weekend, they were level 33, my Scrapper was level 37 and pretty well equipped. Was never able to make more than about 1 attack a minute land and they couldn't really hurt me either, so after about 20 minutes of futile clicking I decided it just wasn't worth it and left. They were virtually untouchable and it was a little demoralizing, but seeing 3 of them alone without any other Crey seemed like an odd occurance. They all 3 had both of their Shields up and running. Since at that point they were only susceptible to Psyonics, which I don't have, it was a waste of time. Tough Critters.

Back up and running now.

Was playing and went to switch characters and got " No Launchers are Running " error. Restarted Launcher and got the same error. All Characters are also showing " Unknown " as their location. Just started happening around 4:00 EST. It says " Cannot find Map " also, and this is only happening on Reunion as far as I can tell.

Sure didn't take long for them to repost under a fresh bot account, hmph...Industrious little buggers,

OOPs......

The biggest difference between COH and more recent games is that it uses OpenGL. This can often be an issue for newer computers, especially laptops as they seldom have a discrete GPU, it is instead integrated into the Motherboard. You may want to read through Through @Tahquitz Guide as it covers most system requirements. You may also want to go through @WanderingAries install guide.

Yes, and it always goes so well with the General, I can usually finish a mission without the rescues getting killed, but he has a death wish. Deitrich is just annoyingly over-confident and dismissive.

I tried getting something like this going a while back, just didn't work out. Between my available time, mostly early morning ( EST/EDST ) weekdays, was never really anyone around and when they were, on weekends, didn't seem interested any more. Most of my Toons are on Reunion, so I'll just stick to soloing for now, but if you're on when I am send me an Invite. @Marine X is my global, with a whole Garage full of Tanks, lol.

Just seems like some Dialogue is missing, or the phrasing is just awkward.

Check the basics. 1) Make sure that the caps lock or number lock are not ON or OFF, it could be affecting the log in or password if incorrectly set. 2) Verify the User Name and Password and make sure the Launcher is up to date.

Welcome Back! Just a few things you'll find new since The Live Servers. 1) Long Range Teleporter Power, Collect at least 1 Exploration Badge in a Zone to unlock that Zone for LRT, really handy and costs nothing. 2) PTW Vendor, Temp Powers, Buffs, Vanity Pets, Travel Powers and Special Enhancements, Just west of the Atlas Statue. 3) Prestige is no more, and Bases are Free, anything you want, you can have, check out the Bases Sub Forum for some examples of what can be done. 4) New Archetype, Sentinels, kind of a high Defense Blaster, with its own mix of Power Combos to try out. 5) New Content as well as all the Old Missions you remember, New Task Forces and Strike Forces. 6) New Zones, Khallisti Wharf and Echo Plaza, no missions but great meeting places to explore. 7) FYI, Reunion is considered the European Server ( it's in Germany ) while all the Other Shards are in Canada.

I don't know if it will help anything more than the skipped Character Slot, but you may want to find and delete your Playerslot.txt file on your hard drive in games/homecoming/accounts/"account name", then log into game and it will be recreated to match what is on the server. It may be causing some of the issues if it became corrupted and doesn't match what the server has on file.

Also found this: go to your Speaker icon in the bottom right of the task bar, right click and select "Open Volume Mixer", as you can see, if you have COH running you'll know which slider to adjust, and can then fine tune the level. Hope that helps.

The only adjustments available as far as I know ( Windows 10 ) are in Options: Graphics and Audio & in Control Panel, Sound, Sound Control Panel. If these are not it, you may want to check for an Audio Driver Update.

I'm confused, my in game Globals are @Marine X and @Marine X2, is there something I am missing, because both work and I email stuff to my Global regularly on both accounts. Or does the issue only come into play with the send email attachment slash command? Have never used it.

Actually, according to the Original COH Developers, Masterminds were intended to occupy the Aggro Management/Tanker role in COV. Brutes were more their own thing, a Melee Based Archetype as most Tankers are, but where their Resistance and Defense were the secondary priority. I remember how awkward it was initially as a Tank Player to play a Brute. Masterminds Pets were designed to be the COV Meat Sheilds and do a pretty good job at it when built and used with that in mind, instead of how they often get used, as a wrecking crew. I do however aggree that the payback for Brutes reduced Resist/Def was intended to be better DPS, which is not always the case anymore.

Found this on the Wiki, hope it helps. Bind Examples: /bind <key> "emote none$$cce 0 cclightning" Clears any emote/combat stance, then changes to costume slot one with the Lightning CCE. /bind <key> "emote none$$cce 1 ccprestochango$$local Abracadabra!" Clears any emote/combat stance, then changes to costume slot two with the PrestoChango CCE, while saying "Abracadabra!" in local chat. /bind <key> "em none$$cce 2 cccast$$l Let me slip into something more uncomfortable." Clears any emote/combat stance, then changes to costume slot three with the Cast CCE, while saying "Let me slip into something more uncomfortable." in local chat. /bind <key> "em none$$cce 3 ccspin" Clears any emote/combat stance, then changes into costume slot four with the Spin CCE. Macro Examples: /macro cc1 "em none$$cce 0 ccspin$$l Wheeee!" Clears any emote/combat stance, then changes into costume slot one with the Spin CCE, while saying "Wheeee!" in local chat. /macro cc2 "em none$$cce 1 cclightning$$l Kablam!" Clears any emote/combat stance, then changes into costume slot two with the Lightning CCE, while saying "Kablam!" in local chat. /macro cc3 "em none$$cce 2 ccprestochango" Clears any emote/combat stance, then changes into costume slot three with the PrestoChango CCE.

The only thought I have is that with low population Redside they could really benefit from having a Cooperative Zone in the actual Island Chain, being that all existing Coops are Blueside. It could be positioned just below the level range of the Rikti War Zone and accessible to Heros from the Boats in Indy, Striga etc. Island #3 would be Ideal because of its location and the Zone could perhaps offer a Joined Nictus Foothold situation, with Missions to build a unique backstory around that.

I just move 1 copy of each award to an unused tray and then remove the ones that appear after, the one in the unused tray will count up the awards. No need to keep the duplicates. It would be nice if it did it automatically but only takes a few seconds to clear them out. Nowhere nearly as invasive as the deluge of Temporary Costumes at Halloween, lol.
