  1. So, are we ready to pronounce judgment on their character and mete out divine justice to those found wanting?

    That's my personal GM. I'm a VIP.

  4. When you buy the CoT Bundle, it prices each element at ~33 points each to equal 400 points.

    But when you look them up separately, there almost twice as much for each piece.

    Yes.
  6. I, too, often rely on clipping to make new pieces look awesome.

    Bring on the clipping. We can handle the clipping!

    If they're torturing you like they did at Crey by threatening to take away your red name so you work faster, let us know by blinking ten thousand times.

    Seriously, I expect better from people using Frontpage Express.
    Yeah, it should be: http:// na.cityofheroes.com/en/about_freedom/freedom_overview.php


    But it is the broken link of: http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/about_freedom/
  9. A better way to view the FREEDOM trailer is with this link (and even better to download it and view):

    Oh, and: How do I find the Circle of Thrones in Kins Row?

    Well, at one time, that may have been the case. In a previous Community Rep administration, they clearly didn't want to spend any time doing forum moderation and the forums were a bit of a wild frontier especially Suggestions which became an argufest. So, it was moved to For Fun to indicate it wasn't sanctioned or watched or much moderated.

    However, things have changed. Stronger moderation leads to less junk threads. The Devs have said on multiple occasions that they do indeed read Suggestions. Thus, it should be moved out of the wasteland of For Fun.

    Well, there's your problem. That can only lead to disaster.

    Funny, the "no lobbying" section of the forum rules was my suggestion to a previous administration to cut out those types of posts, especially the yahoos who post in *every* *single* patch note thread, "Hey, what about <insert their pet peeve not mentioned in the patch notes>?!"

    Typical. When you do a revue of a structure to see what's surplus, you wind up also seeing what's missing.

  14. Batman has to commit the perceived weakness of the Justice League to a computer file?

    He can't remember: Kryptonite, yellow, fire, men, AoE?
  15. Upon log in to Beta, my characters are locked as if I was Premium and I get the "Hey, you're Premium" pop-up. This happened after the make-everyone-a-premium-account test on Beta and has not reverted itself since. However, in every other way, the Beta server treats my account as VIP.

    Mids Builder

    Some of my old builds pull up well enough, and show the IO assignments, but Mids doesn't seem to be calculating the totals any more. Specifically, some powers, when I mouse over them, show something like the following:
    Buff/Debuff Value
    Accuracy:
    Damage: 83.74% (Pre-ED: 85.26%)
    EnduranceDiscount:
    Range:
    Recharge:


    In the above example, I have 5 of the 6 Posi Blasts in place, so obviously some of the values other than damage should have some modifiers.

    Is there a new switch or toggle I should be aware of?
    Just a bug. Until fixed, the enhancement values do show up correctly under the Enhance Tab in the Display Window (the little box in the lower left).
  17. RE: Merging Announcement and Discussion (of Announcements)

    It's my understanding that these are two separate forums so that:
    1. People can browse announcements without having to download lengthy discussion threads; and,
    2. If the forum database needs to be trimmed, you can delete the discussion while leaving the history of important announcements.


    RE: Merging Community and Developer Digests

    The reason they're two separate forums is because players asked for it! When you want to follow the important Dev-posts for information regarding the game, you don't want to have to sift through the many more post from Community Reps on topics like server downtimes or announcement of one-time player events.

    Unfortunately, sound options are not saved in the option list file, and thus can't be set with the option set command. Nor is there a separate slash command for sound settings.
  19. I also celebrate an unbirthday, too. But are there any open grave icons for that? No! Totally discriminatory.

    When you join a group, tell them, "I have Group Fly for my pets. If you don't want Group Fly applied to you, don't forget to turn it off by visiting Null the Gull in Pocket D."
  21. Add these to other 'broken' NPCs:

    Spectrals with their -ToHit

    Rularuu and Cimerorans with their -Def

    Illusionists with their phasing

    Vanguard Magi with their -End and -Res

    Succubi with their Confuse

    EB rezzers/ambushers

    Final Bosses with some unresistable damage, especially in patch form (move or lose)



    So, um, yeah... business as usual. And I love it.

    Nice to see the uber Defense ATs sweat once in a while, especially when squishies have the tools to circumvent the foes' gimmick.

    We might have to petition the Devs to change that if that's WAI, because I don't want to be spammed with requests to pay the rent of Premium players.
