Marine X

I seem to remember a Rash of weird Kronos Titan Spawns back on Live, once 1 even spawned in Cherry Hills ( the Hollows ), that was a Train Wreck. I guess I thought it was a Bug that was taken care of.

Well, for me the 6th Grade was in about 1975, so some of my dated references may ruin the humor intended, sorry. lol.

They are stuck trying to decide on the exact shade of Red and Diameter for the Giant Red Ball in Kallisti Wharfs Harbor, and whether the tier 3 power choice for Carp Melee should cause target to Egress lunch, breakfast, last nights dinner, "Milk Duds" eaten in the sixth grade and things never intended to be egressed or just have knockback. Tough choices.

You will want to remember that you have a Password for your Forum account, and a totally different one for Game Login. they are not typically the same. Since this is the first I've heard of this particular problem, ( Usually people try using their forum account to enter the game ), I suggest verifying both the forum and game accounts and passwords, if this is not the problem my apologies in advance.

Yes, New Years Day on Homecoming, Baby New Year was on me like Glue and the little tike just refused to give up. It was very sad to team with others with the same issue as you ended up with a pile of temporarily Dead Babies outside the mission door, who would reappear when you exited mission. Very Creepy, Very Strange, and thankfully short lived.

Marine X was my Main on Live and now on Homecoming. He is an Invulnerability / Super Strength Tanker. and was my first 50. I just identify with him more than any other character that I have and playing him is effortless. I soloed thru the Dark Astoria Storyline @ +4X6 and never died, granted it was slow going at times, especially the one with all the groups of Cyclops and the like but I got thru it, and got the Lone Wolf Badge. 2nd place would go to the Twins, Bubba ( Reunion ) and Sonny ( Everlasting ) Burns, ( Mutant Sons of Enos and Ophelia Burns of Rural Croatoa ) my Fire Armor/ Radiation Melee Brute Rednecks just because they get a lot of long stares, ( Not even the least bit Metro-Males ) and even though they weren't built for farming they do okay and are fun to play. They just aren't as Tough and comfortable for me as Marine is. My Main Marine came from Maine mainly. I do have other Toons I have brought back from the Abyss; Livingston ( Stone/Fire Tank ), A.C. Volt ( Electric/Electric Tank ), Warhorse ( Shield/War Mace Tank ), Gold fever ( Illusion/Kinetic Controller ), and Crimson Cage ( Peacebringer ). I also have some new ones such as Major Meson ( Radiation/Radiation Tank ), Hawkstar ( Fire/Invulnerability Sentinel ), and Grimmwolf ( Bio Armor/Savage Melee Tank ) Still Play Marine More.

This would be an opportunity to allow Hero Characters who really don't want to change alignment to acquire badges for those groups. My thought for spawns would be to give some groups that have a very limited presence the Majority of the Space, I would have to say the Tsoo, and maybe Warriors could use some more Real Estate. I was also thinking that since Kallisti sits at the mouth of the same river that leads to Perez Park it would follow that the southern river banks would be occupied by Hydra, perhaps even occasionally spawning Kraken. As far as a zone event, I was thinking that we have seen nothing of all the Praetorian Clockwork Groups ( other than in their story arcs) since the fall of Praetoria. I think they could make a great Zone event. Use a base White Hole as spawn point and have the Combined Forces of the Clockwork attempt to invade Kallisi Wharf as their new Home by creating a Beachhead on the Island between the Red and Blue Sides of the Map. This would Culminate with the arrival of the SPECTRA Robots and Nightstar. Plenty of under seen assets here: Neuron Clockwork Anti-Matter Clockwork Anti-Matter SPECTRA Electrode Nuon Spectra series l Circuit Meson Spectra series ll Inhibitor Baryon Spectra series lll 9 Volt ( Boss ) Cold Fusion ( Boss ) Meg Snap ( Boss ) Radio Active ( Boss ) Nightstar ( Arch Villain ) Sizzle ( Boss ) Valence ( Boss ) Actually forgot: The Harbor is Home to Sally's Sister Kalli, earning the " Beyond Belief " badge

I haven't seen any less Corona Beer Commercials since this started. I doubt Toyota will retroactively rename a Car they made for 40+ years. I imagine there were a lot of people with the first name Adolph back in the 1940s that considered changing their name. I'm sure Adolph Coors III felt he was defined by his actions and life more than by someone else who shared his first name. It seems to me that he created the Toon before this was an Issue and that should be taken into consideration.

The Hollows was, back in the day, a Hazard Zone. It was the easiest way to get from 5-12 or so available, and the Taxi-Bot Services were a time saver, but it was a Hazard Zone you couldn't enter till level 5, it no longer is. There used to be 2 Rail Lines, Green and Yellow, with level restrictions on each and different destinations, which kept low level Toons from even going to a zone where they could be Power leveled. You used to not be able to include a Cape in your Costume until you did the Cape Mission at what, level 20? Architect Entertainment did not always exist, really, it didn't. Old School play still has an appeal to me, and some of the shortcuts that have developed have caused some Zones to be barely used. If you think about when level 14 was when you got Travel Powers, you would have already pretty much out leveled starting contacts in Atlas, Kings Row, Steel Canyon, Skyway City, Galaxy City, Perez Park, the Hollows, Boomtown and Faultline by the time you got there. You earned the first dozen levels and there were no easy ways to get around that. You learned to use your powers or found a team to help you, there was not a lot of content you could solo easily. Faultline was a lot like the Hollows before it's Makeover, and I agree with what they did with it, I think it is now one of the best low level zones in the game. I miss being able to start a toon in Galaxy City because there was an entirely different set of contacts and missions if you started there. Peacebringers started in Atlas, Warshades in Galaxy ( after you got a Toon to 50 as a Prerequisite ). You used to actually have to figure out how to navigate Perez Park back in the day, when you would be given missions in a cave way back in the deepest darkest parts of the Woods. You would also have to go to Boomtown for more than to Destroy Council Giant Robots. I like the convenience of some of the new features, but really, I am logging on here as recreation and the last thing I want to do is rush through content, or skip it altogether in favor of another shiny new level 20 I'll end up abandoning because I have very little invested in it. I waited a long time to have my City back, I am planning on enjoying it.

Corona = The outermost event surface of a star = An imported Beer that apparently requires a lime to be palatable = An Alias used by the Eternal Thena (Marvel ), soon to be played by Angelina Jolie Voight = City of Corona, CA = The Projecting part of a Classic Cornice, ( Architecture ) = Something suggesting a Crown = An appendage or series of appendages on the inner side of the Corolla of some Flowers = A long Cigar with the sides straight to the end to be lit and roundly blunt at the other end = Garland worn on the Head as a mark of Honor or emblem of Majesty = An Automobile manufactured by Toyota Corporation from 1957 - 2001 I don't think any of these are going away any time soon, nor should they. A character named CoVID whatever should be Renamed, and should never have been named, but banning the word "Corona" itself is questionable.

Probably one option would be to utilize Boomtown and the diagonal area between Indy Port and Croatoa for the airport ( Basically expand Boomtown to include the new Airport with the Terminal at it's existing South East Side). It would be adjacent to an available Rail Line with Air Traffic landing from the Southwest just above the Rikti War Zone and ending up facing toward the coast North of Boomtown. The existing rail would utilize a tunnel beneath the airport to get to Croatoa. That would be a neat place for some new Unsavory group to loiter around in and plot mischief.

I got a little taste of Old School the other day. As much as I have almost every useful Accolade on Marine that's available hero side, I don't have Task Force Commander. Being on Reunion, Playing at odd hours, often right before work, I just don't get a lot of time where I can do Task Forces. In my Genius I decided to get up at 3;00am and run Citadel Solo. I guess I really didn't remember it being so REPETITIVE. This inspired my Magazine Spoof in Arts and Multimedia, all the Council Bases seemed to lack style and variety. Got thru the endless missions and was in the last one and got to Vandal. He's an Arch-Villain, and I'm exem to 30 ( from 50 + 65 Vet Levels and pretty well IOed ). Watching Paint dry would have been thrilling compared to this fight. Almost 30 minutes later he finally goes down. This reminded me of when I first started playing and found out how Tough but Damage Output Challenged Tanks were, but it was also very satisfying. I know someone will chime in about how they could have done this in 10 minutes for the whole Taskforce with one arm tied behind their back, good for you, I was taught to clean my plate. I like to do the missions, not stealth to the objectives, or Cheat to make it go Faster. I could Sacrifice some of my Tank's toughness for damage output, or just create another Brute, but that's really not the roll I like to play. This is supposed to be FUN, Recreation, something to enjoy, not doing 55 in a 35 zone on the way to work and believing that makes you Superior. I still have Posi 2, Synapse and Penny to do, and if I can't find a team, I'll try soloing again, but bring more Inspirations, lol. I avoid DFB and DIB and stick to missions from contacts as much as I can, It couldn't possibly be as boring as running DFB 4 times in a row on every toon you make, and there are lot's of great content options at the lower levels. Time to watch the paint dry.

Seems to be catching on...

Star Trek Deep Space Nine ( 1993-1999 ).

The only windows feature that I know Tequila requires is .Net Framework.... I believe what you need to do is download the latest Visual C runtimes from Microsoft.

Always Kind of considered Marine to be Me more than my other Toons, so being a relatively Big Guy ( 6'4" 240 lbs ), I made Marine about 6'4", but he would probably be 350 lbs in the real world. Can't think of anyone that would have the right size and look, maybe Randy Couture, but with my sense of humor, if it was animated, Kelsey Grammer would be perfect delivering the kind of comments I can't help but make.

I was a prime candidate for Star Wars, I was 13 in 1977 when it came out and actually couldn't get it out of my head for days after I saw it. I grew up in Rural Ohio did not have Cable TV and mostly read a lot. Not just Comics ( which I did ), but a lot of SciFi and Science fact. Had a photo lab in the basement. My brothers and I shot several " Stop Motion " 8mm Films ( our family had 1 girl and 5 boys ) and would dream up ways to create practical special effects. Always had a soft spot for the comics though. Favorite Hero; Tie: Iron Man / Captain America ( kinda 2 sides of the Hero Coin, You always knew there would be an Oil / Water point ) Least Favorite: Hulk ( They just waited too late to give him a voice, when they did, it was cool, but in the comics he ALWAYS talked, just very basically ) Favorite Villain: Loki ( Just can't picture him being any more entertaining, although, very unlike the comic version. Tom Hiddleston is Amazing ) Least Favorite: Mandarin ( Sir Ben K did an excellent Job with the role he was given, but it was a waste of one of Iron Man's most Iconic Adversaries to use him that way ) Favorite Movie: Avengers Endgame ( Was the first time ever that so many movies were tied together, and a well pulled off Finale to ten years of movies ) Least Favorite: Tie: Hulk / The Incredible Hulk ( Can't believe I'm the only one to go here, the first one was Marvel Reworking while on Acid, Recast, Reboot, Recast, Reboot )

I have actually been pretty pleased with Star Trek: Picard. It was always in the discussions that Patrick Stewart would not be interested unless it was something new, and they always try for " something new " and seldom succeed. I believe they have succeeded. Every institution goes through growing pains and evolution, even the Federation. This show is more topical of what is going on in the world than anything since DS9. I think have done more to establish a tone and focus, in 9 episodes, than any other Trek show ever has. coming out of the gate. I do understand it is not perfect, but compared with the Kelvin Timeline, it is at least not just packaging up a bunch of action movie sequences and slapping a " Trek " on it. I like that it is in the original timeline, takes on the new events from the Kelvin Divergence, and opens the door for a whole new future of stories. I think they have a good cast, although sorry to see so many characters killed off, but it is just the first season, I'll see where they go from here. Haven't started catching up on Discovery, just got the CBS All Access account recently. I bought season one on DVD, and thought it took a while to get going, but was improving as it progressed. I'll probably start Season 2 this weekend.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Number of the beast! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhh! ..........................................................ahem.......nevermind.....

After you uninstall after this kind of Issues it is extremely important that you clear the Registry and delete your CoH/Tequilla/Homecoming folders before the new install or you just bring the Issues right back. If you don't know how to edit the Registry, go to the Windows Start and in the " search programs and files ", type in the field " regedit ", carefully search thru the software sub-headings under each Main heading and any reference to Tequilla, CoH or Homecoming must be deleted. Then reinstall Tequilla and allow it to update itself to a folder on your main disk drive. After it updates you should be good to go. There is also a thread on the forums on setting up access to the Test Servers if you need more details.

Keep in mind it also always a good practice to make sure you close Tequilla whenever you end a Play Session. That way it has the chance to check the Manifest when you start it and update itself, it doesn't close automatically when you exit game, it will remain open in the tray.

Is this a recent occurrence or new install? If you installed the program ( Tequilla ) in Program Files it may cause Windows Firewall to block it. It should be installed on your hard drive into it's own folder ( I name it COH ) and all Homecoming files should be put there. It could also be your Anti-Virus. Since the Program is telling you it was "denied" there is probably a Firewall/Anti-Virus issue.

Had the same issue on my wife's Windows 10 machine with a discreet Radeon 2mb Video Card ( older ). I was able to run fine using the 32 bit Client, but got the DLL missing error when running 64 bit. Did the full uninstall, cleared the registry, then reinstalled Tequilla in a fresh COH folder on the Main Drive. Updated Microsoft Visual Runtime C++ and restarted PC and launched 64 bit Tequilla, everything is working fine as of now. Only issue was the new install ramped the Video Settings to Ultra Mode which I had to dial back a little to get rid of some Jitter, but working now.
