I have been an avid computer gamer since 1989.  I only did FPS and Sims (Flight and Mech) before 2004, and then I started playing City of Heroes (RIP), which hooked me hard!  I have played almost nothing but MMORPGs since.

  • I almost quit City of Heroes in Alpha, because I did not understand the genre, never played an MMORPG before this,  However, a friend helped me learn the ropes and it became my all-time favorite game!   I also started playing Elder Scrolls Online, …
  • City of Heroes. A graphics upgrade and expansion of the mechanics would really help it.

  • Scot said: Guys what happens when it is transfer time and players transfer to your already overloaded server? The whole idea that server transfers is some sort of panacea to these problems is well known to be untrue. So why people are not quest…
  • Things seem safe on the Homecoming servers, as well as the other private CoH servers, and I plan to continue playing on them for a long time. I would put zero weight in Homecoming's 'negotiations' to purchase the CoH IP.  There has not been any rea…
  • Before you spend any time in troubleshooting or replacing parts, try these two steps; 1) Press and hold the power button for 45 seconds, wait ten seconds, then restart.  That will reset the BIOS. 2) If that does not work, try looking in your manua…
  • The manual was quite vague.  I used the 8 pin section and left the 4 pin empty, and it is running fine.  If there are errors in the future, I will get a new PSU with a 12 pin.
  • Quizzical said: I'd look closely at the shape of the pins, or more to the point, the plastic sheathes that protect them.  Some of them are square, and others have two corners rounded off.  This ensures that you can't put in a connector backward…

  • Thanks for the tip Quizz, I learned my lesson decades ago about going cheap on cooling.  The cooler I bought for this is well rated and has about 3X the material in teh heat sink as what is stock, as well as having a 120mm fan.  If thats not enough,…
  • Asm0deus said: You should be fine just plugging in the standard 8pin cpu connector.  It's a newish thing to have an extra 4pin connector to supply another 12v current to the mobo for extrme OC etc In most cases you do not need to plug it in…

  • Do you think I would be fine with just using the 8 pin plug?  I bought the 65W version, not the 125W version.
  • Its an Asrock Steel Legend H470.  ASRock H470 STEEL LEGEND LGA 1200 ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com Btw, it is well rated on other sites, something I found after only seeing a single rating on Newegg.
  • Definitely a Marvel MMORPG. Not a Diablo style game like Marvel Heroes (although the game wasn't bad, it just was not good at retaining people for more than a few months). I love City of Heroes and am very much anticipating Ship of Heroes, and…
  • New World looks more my style than Crowfall, so that's where I am leaning.  Honestly, New World looks like the only thing coming up that will steal my attention from City of Heroes and Ship of Heroes, except maybe CyberPunk 2077, once it is playable…
  • My first computer game was Jovian Wars.  I played it in 1979 on an aircraft carrier, using a coworkers PC that he paid about a third of a year's pay for.  Never saw him again, but it was the game that hooked me... First MMORPG was City of Heroes.  …
  • Po_gg said: Quizzical said: If you want to say that it's not whaling because it's something else worse than that, fine. Maybe you misunderstood me (or just skipped the second part). a) $200-$300 for a lifetime sub, it's fine …
  • I played Champions in the past, but they really nerfed the fun out of it in a hurry.  Now its whales, whales, whales... I found that out when I gave it another try about 3 years ago.   Fortunately, City of Heroes is back.  There are a few teams wor…
  • I've been sticking with City of Heroes lately.  On my rare days that I am not playing CoH I am playing Mechwarrior 5. If you are looking for a game to fill the void until Nioh 2 releases, CoH may be a good filler.  It's free and if you leave you ca…
