Hey gang,
Time for me to get a new computer... playing on an old PIII and the
CD-writer and floppy are both out, although the DVD which I have used the
most still works.

The lag (on Victory) ranges from slightly annoying to unplayable - even at
wee hours of the morning and having reduced critical graphics settings.
Is it player load? Do the play servers also handle patch downloads - is it
that load? Or are there changes to I6 that are dragging ...

Or, I6 is live.

New events in the far off Rogue Isles are beginning to have an effect on

Here's an interesting dilemma I have found myself in....
I bought CoH when it was released in the US and played on Pinnacle with an
American friend til I found my UK dial-up was spoiling the game.
When the european servers were brought online, I bought the game again to

I will be updating the Bind & Macro Guide with the new stuff as soon as.
The new target_custom_* binds are a nifty addition.
Does anyone know of other new commands?
Does anyone know of a command to recall the start-of-mission message?

Maybe it's just limited to the European CoH boards. But when they were
merged with the EU CoV Beta boards all postings got deleted. :( And to add
insult to injury, everybody except me seems to be happy with it, no whining
on the forums. What's going on?

Login: screwed until I found the note to remove the \data directory and
things like Vidiotmaps.
Lag: dismal. 4-6 fps even with graphics turned down.
New UI: Nice. More control over lots of things.

I was getting the frozen login problem, so I checked the official boards.
It turns out the solution is to go into your COH directory and rename the
\data folder to  \old_data or something - take it out of the equation.
This worked like a charm, and I was into the game with the ...

There will be changes on the power of enhancements.  Basically, a
'diminishing return'.  After reading the changes, I actually think they
are good for the game.  It should add more diversity to power
selection, and should make the game a little more challenging (it's

Will there be another free Respec with the release of I6?  I assume yes as
we have had one for I4 and I5.
I've quickly searched the boards, and perhaps not looked in the right
places, but when is I6 supposed to go online?  Same time as CoV?

I just renewed my account after about 6 months leave of absence.  I'm
wondering is the ED change in production now or only on the test
server?

How much longer is it for? Just noticed I've got sent a key for it!!!

I've been having fun with Eagle's Claw - with a single Dam, it did a little
less damage than Crane Kick, but had that nice disorient and extra
critical-hit power.
Hit 33, dropped all three slots into it, slotted it 3xDam + Acc. Went off

Well, just got done playing in the PvP.   Villians really suck.   They
needed at least 4 to 1 odds to beat a hero!!!!!  Guess it because of their
way of life.  But they had about 20 to 1 the whole time I played.
I noticed their controllers had multible pets, and ours had none!!!  ...

I'm late to the game here (apologies), but with ED, is it the case now
that 3-slotting will give you the same benefit as 3 slotting used to,
but 4+ gives less than it used to?
