  1. I would dearly love to have the contacts for Safekeep/Mayhem missions become available via call like most other mission givers. After saving the bank in [insert Paragon neighborhood here] or robbing it (depending on side of toon) it would make sense to be able to call those people up whenever the time comes for another crack at Safe/Mayhem to say yes/no instead of having to travel to them every time.

     

    QoL issue in my book - small thing, but still 🙂

  2. I would be happy if Robots stopped meleeing unless enemies actually run up to them and their other powers are on cool-down - but entirely remove melee would be fine too.

     

    Totally agree on the rockets - starting with the AoE-ish stuff and moving downwards would make much more sense.

  3. Issue is back!

     

    After today's patch - no matter if I choose the old option or the new 64bit option, the game again crashes on screenshots.

    I have tried emptying the screenshot folder, tried deleting it and letting the game create it again - no matter, crash on screenshot every time.

     

    What has changed?

  4. Don't know if this is something that broke during patch or now WAI - but for Death From Below it seems enhancements are no longer dropping as rewards. I have just run two instances with two different teams and everyone reports zero enhancements but small amounts of inspirations, recipes and components.

  5. I had this exact problem and it turned out to be an issue of read/write rights to the folder - in my case caused by moving the CoH installation from one harddisk to another and then reinstalling Tequila.

    I ended up nuking the harddisk partition, reinstalling a fresh copy of CoH from torrent and now everything works again (less harsh methods would probably also work)

  6. I have run quite a few radio missions on Peregrine Island, both before and after level 50 and I would really like to see some more groups.

    As far as I can tell, the enemy groups actually IN missions right now are:

     

    • Malta
    • Council
    • Carnival of Shadows
    • Arachnos
    • Circle of Thorns

     

    But on the island itself, there are also:

     

    • Rikti
    • Devoured Earth
    • Nemesis

     

    And those three villain groups also exist in the 40-54 level range, especially since they DO appear in Tips and Alignment Missions.

    Could these please be added to the rotation - I don't know how complicated that would be, but when looking at the existing radio missions, they use a limited range of locations and maps - so maybe a search&replace could simply be done? I seem to recall the developers saying adding new missions was not quite as easy as just building it in EA.

  7. 8 hours ago, GM Capocollo said:

    This happens whenever the game client can't write to the /screenshots folder for whatever reason.  Make sure that you have an empty /screenshots folder and that it's not read-only or otherwise unwritable.

    THIS was the kicker - should be added to a Troubleshooting FAQ I suspect. Seems there was some sort of problem with read/write permissions on the drive - maybe something from being moved to a new installation of Windows?? - but formatted the drive, torrented the game files and reinstalled Tequila - now screenshots work again. Huzzah! 🙂

    • I have tried to run the game in normal mode and administrator mode - no difference - crash to desktop the moment I hit printscreen
    • If I use a screengrab tool lige Snagit or capture a screenshot using nVidia Overlays, no problem - captures that screenshot. But it is of course not instant and amazing ingame as the native function

     

    The only other thing I have noticed is, that as the game crashes, the HDMI source icon flashes briefly as my screen goes black and the desktop reappears - but I suspect this is maybe just the system switching from game to desktop?

  8. More tests have been carried out.

     

    • None of the compatibility settings have any effect on this
    • If I set screenshot to be TGA, there seems to be a slight freeze to the screen the first time I press Print Screen but after that nothing. Also, no screenshot is captured.

     

    Can whatever code module that writes a jpg to the harddisk be damaged?

  9. I have just got a new pc and was eager to see CoH on it once everything was working - but for some reason, the game crashes hard directly to the desktop whenever I try to do a screenshot.

    This has never been an issue before and I am playing at the same resolution as on my old machine (2560 x 1440) - any ideas? Sucks to not be able to capture all the mayhem suddenly, so this is certainly a quality loss.

     

    The gfx card is the same as in my old pc, so I have been using this resolution to capture screenshots at before.

     

    A DXdiag readout is as follows:

  10. In my experience, the access to Pocket D from Talos Island is usually very safe - you can run there in an almost direct line from the train.

    Only thing you have to watch out for are any Warriors or Freaks camping out behind the Tram Station or immediately behind the wooden fencing just before the street where the entrance to Pocket D is; quite often a mob of Freaks are milling about there.

    But all in all, all villains are easy enough to evade if you just keep your eyes open. And using Ninja Run + [Whatever other Sprint you like] at the same time, gives you enough speed to rush past.

  11. Crey are an truly nasty corporation - and yes they put special snipers in unexpected areas and you learn the hard way that they are out there. They start appearing in Crey's Folly but are also in Founder's Fall (where they are joined by Nemesis ditto) and Peregrine Island.

    It doesn't have to and should not have to change - it's part of the game, part of the lore - they are out there and they want to get you.

     

    And they don't "deny you access to a whole zone" they just add some unexpected difficulty. Deal with it.

  12. /macro SD "petsayall <emote Drink Enriche>"

     

    Ghost_Widow_Emote_DrinkEnriche.gif

     

    All Demon/* Masterminds are ... encouraged ... to use this macro (it won't work as a bind, only as a macro!) to SHUT UP THEIR PETS.

    Use of this macro will effectively SILENCE Demons while they are parked and idle.

     

    I'm sorry to say - this does absolutely nothing - it seems the Juggle Fire emote doesnt work for Demons? In fact they don't react to quite a few of the emotes.

  13. I think this zone misses a wandering unique Giant Monster - in my mind, every Hazard Zone should have some sort of unique threat that either caused it to become a HZ or has evolved there since exactly because it's a deserted wasteland of doom. A giant version of the lava guys that erupts from the epicenter of the blast and trails around with an entourage of rock people - I suspect that could be done with existing assets if it's possible to scale up one of the bosses?

    These guys are called "minions of Igneous" after all - I suspect Igneous is a big honking titan from a bygone age.
