looks like my COH run was cut short, The idiots who made the game decided not to support many video cards.  I can run FFXI and WoW, but CoH?  No.  Idiots.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

well I got it to where I can see everything but character textures.  Better then nothing I guess.  Though I have no idea what my character looks like.

What graphics card do you have? I suspect that installing the latest driver will fix the problem, since I have to do that with almost every new game I buy.

I have an old crappy graphics card and it works pretty well (levels load really slowly, but that's more the processor's fault).

Nope, they flat out said that my card is not suported and my problem is common with those they didn't want to use.  I did update to the latest drivers too.


here are my screens, I upped the gama (wich you cannot see in the SS) so it's not that dark.

here are Ent's:

Except for the blue gloves I think it's not too bad of a design considering I couldn't see anything when chooseing.

Well it looks like there are lots of CoH fans that made their own patch for this problem, and the Devs liked it so much they're planning on implementing the changes in the next patch.  So hopefuly I won't have this problem much longer.

Yay :D Colours for everyone! Now, I can't really twink or powerlevel you, due to the way CoH works, but i've got plenty of low level characters. Hell, I'll use Ninja Monkey.

And Jam, the character in question is 'LivingDead Girl', in reference to a Rob Zombie song. The player is a 21 year old chick in Chicago, I believe.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Fell, here is the golden lollipop I told you about.

JP, here is a picture of SSG and LDG testing out leather. I didn't take any screenshots of the bikini's and such that we also tried out, though.

k, so here are the guys I've made so far.

First off is another variaton of the mummy guy I posted yesterday.  I decided to go much simpler since it looks better with the spikes that he fights with.

Rahm-Taught

http://www.monkeyslothstudio.com/coh/coh2.jpg

Next is H4-N37, a robot assassian that's malfunctioned and does good stuff by shooting things.  Thought I had more then one picture but I don't.  I like the design except for the fin gloves, once I get the change I'll defenatly change those.

3rd is a defender (weather and psychic) named kea of Orion 4 (I made one of each body type).

And my favoire power so far is gale which blows the enemy away from you.

And lastly, just because it's a cool shot, my Tanker, Blaze Scorpio, decites to light up the party.

Those last two are nice screenshots. That's one of the best parts about CoH--it can be very cinematic sometimes.

Sigh.

This will teach me not to check the video game board.

Another MMORPG, Sprig?  You're as bad as Micah.
