I'm finding it is very particular. I have not gotten a level 8 Rich slicing mission to provide a purple crit since 4.0. Same for Level 7 Biochem. But I am getting consistent crits on other missions - types and levels.

I exited completely, and came back in to find it all working.

I have a message that the planets my characters are on have not downloaded... and I cannot get in.

Aha. I was just tapping it again so quick didn't realize. thanks.

Known issue with AMD cards. There were multiple threads about it that have seemingly slipped away somehow. Best option so far it to alt-tab immediately after hitting 'play'. Not guaranteed to work though. There were some other work around options. I don't remember them all. One was to reduce screen resolution to 1200x before launching...

You have to hold the button down to get lock, but then it doesn't automatically fire. You have to release and tap the right mouse after getting lock. At least, that is what I found. It was... counter-intuitive and mildly annoying. I tried three games finished last twice and middle of the pack once. It wasn't entertaining enough to get into my regular play activities, but it wasn't awful.

Known bug with AMD chipset (apparently carried over from Test). There were many threads on it late yesterday, and one long one in particular that had work arounds that were having mixed success - generally about changing to launch as adminstrator and/or alt-tab right after clicking 'play' after logging in (this worked for me). I cannot find that thread now at all.

Repair did not work. I will check video drivers but I just updated 2 weeks ago. edit: yes, drivers are current re-edit: apparently a known bug with the AMD graphix. lovely.

Same. Trying to 'repair' files now.

1. Selosian 2. Nautolan 3. Togruta P.S. Togruta was a toss up with Weequay P.P.S a Quarren Sith would, in fact, rule... P.P.P.S. Darn it... Voss could be very nifty in the character editor...

I admit that my search of the thread was not exhaustive, but after many many pages I did not see this one that I got last night which had me laughing My knight reaches Tatooine, and I find myself approaching a Jawa sandcrawler sitting outside Anchorhead. Kira drops something along the lines of "Someone should tell the Jawas that no matter how large their sandcrawler, they are still always going to look short... Still, it is a sweet ride, though."

It amazes me that after all this time, and so many MMO and stand alone RPG games that this discussion continues to be brought up in forum after forum after forum after... My mind boggles.

Selonians would be fun

The "F2P" can also make things seem more dynamic and active from a players' perspective. Take what CoH was doing - with an active monthly pace they were releasing new costume sets, new power sets, etc. on top of their regular issue releases in a way that really felt like more 'new' entering the game and keeping it fresh then prior to F2P. It can by a very healthy model, if managed properly.

That and micro-transactions will change the pace of 'new' & 'fresh' appearances.

Yes, that's it. I'm looking to play a good guy as a race equated to the dark side. Not sure what would be as compelling that way. Exploring the force/struggling light/dark could be fun on the consular side. Though, the Knight angle sounds good for straight up, strength and would parellel the warrior experience (I'd imagine?) edit: though I imagine it will all be within my head and not any in game dialogue that recognizes the race.

Okay, I'm probably looking ahead too far, but I'm looking for recommendations based on story. I made several different character types and races to fiddle and learn with, but my Sith Warrior is the first to complete Chapter I and I'm headed to Taris. Fun story, and have enjoyed the feeling of darkness on my character. She is of the Sith race, and (while I'm sure it has been done) I've developed an idea that I want to unlock that race and take the stereotypical Dark race down a Light a path. Knee-jerk choice of the dichotomy of being a Jedi, of course. So help me anticipate by providing a recommendation... which class would best fit the struggles of a red skinned on Republic side, trying to find their way in the world? (Oh, Keep in mind, I haven't played any Light classes past level... 10 maybe. If spoilers on are unavoidable for 'why' I get it, but trim them as you can, please.)

False. Patently false, by all published cash flow numbers and the statements of CoH employees pre-announcement and post. NCSoft the parent company, OTOH, has a cash flow problem.

Chyll from Justice Server here. Gonna miss that game, lumps and all. Outstanding fun play and community. My KotOR love drew me in to check out this when CoH got the axe. I love the story and cutscene/voice work here - won out by a hair over The Secret World. Alot oculd use some tweaking to be better, but, that said, I am enjoying myself for now. This is so true: And, This is so incredibly true, TargetOne. The entire game development community should constantly be striving forward, and never settling. Each game should be reaching for the next generation graphics and presentation, with at a minimum all of the last generations QoL feature sets.

Truth

Player created content was a big feature launch in City of Heroes and led to a host of issues with xp exploits and other *features*. That is the kind of space to enter carefully... ...but on the surface a fun idea.

Gear based restrictions in general are silly.

First, if Lucas was wildly inconsistent in his world building is not a shocker of any magnitude. Second, I am surprised the concept of balance meaning balance is a misconception. How can elimination of the other end of the counter-weight in any way be thought of as balancing? The Yin-Yang nature has seemed a natural expression of what all elements of Force discussions eluded to, and fits numerous philosophical, religious, and ethical concepts that Lucas would have drawn upon for his fictional creation. Third, I've always considered that Luke brought balance to the Force by walking the edge of the Light and Dark sides, embracing his anger at times, but controlling it with calm - balancing. Edit: I suppose Fourth, since my youthful days in the theater for the first film releases I have always considered balance to mean balance, and the "Light-only-no-Dark-means-balance" argument holds no water for me.
