Quote:Actually, Peacebringer is a great villainous name. The villain who brings peace to everyone through the iron fist of tyranny. After all, the "pax romana" was only peaceful because the Roman Empire had conquered half the known world and crushed their enemies before them.Originally Posted by Lothic
I'd agree that now that we play in a post Going Rogue/Crossover game it's unfortunate that AT names like Corruptor, Defender and Peacebringer don't really fit when you have a heroic Corruptor or a villainous Defender/Peacebringer. -

Lets say you email yourself a travel power recipe, influence and all the salvage needed to craft it. Where do you go in Praetoria to craft it if you dont have a crafting table temp power?

Quote:Actually, there is in my state. No price exemptions, and it's considered "food for immediate consumption". Though even 8% tax comes out to exactly 33 cents (well, 32.4, which is rounded up, because that's how money works, it's rounded in favor of the company).Originally Posted by GPBunny
Yes you can. Pack of 5 stick wrigley's at Family Dollar is 30 cents. Since its under 50 cents there is no tax. So you can buy a pack of gum. :P
But yeah, you can only get a 5-pack of Wrigley's for that. Even a FastTrac slushie is 2-3 times that (.69, or .75 after tax here). Not to mention that the EULA explicitly states that they don't guarantee uninterrupted access to the game.
Dammit, now I want to run down to FastTrac and get a slushie. They have sour apple.... -
Quote:You are aware that 16 hours of downtime, assuming an even distribution of money paid across every second in the 30 days, comes out to 33 cents, assuming you pay month-by-month. You can't even buy a pack of gum for that.Originally Posted by GPBunny
Just want to know, are we getting our time credited back to our subscription?

Quote:You do realize that's exactly how programming works, right? Windows XP is still getting bugfixes. So are countless games besides this one, including WoW.Originally Posted by Xzero45
So we basically just have to deal with it and hope for the best that someday something happens that might come close to fixing it.
Hrm.
Bugs will always happen in programming. It's a fact of the universe. -
Quote:Very wishful, and evident of a lack of knowledge of actual program design.Originally Posted by Xzero45
True, but I kind of wish they'd slow down on the new features in favor of fixing what's been broken for awhile now. Guess that's just whishful thinking, though.
There are bugs with some pseudopets right now. However, the team making all these new missions couldn't do squat to fix those, as they are not people who are familiar with the powers system. It'd be like expecting a quarterback to make a clutch tackle in place of a linebacker because both play American football.
Second, I18 is the issue that's coming along with GR, so they kinda need all these features they advertised for GR to be ready for it. -
Quote:I'm going to be completely blunt here, if you're only barely playable post-I17 graphics upgrades, you must be running a POS computer. I say this because my laptop with on-board graphics (ATI Radeon Mobility. It's not a real card, it is onboard, it's just ATI instead of Intel.) hasn't taken a performance hit from I17.Originally Posted by Hammerstar
Unfortunately, no. The graphics engine and game code itself were changed to incorporate the code needed for Ultra mode and associated audio upgrades, and that upped the requirements. Even with all Ultra Mode options set to zero, I had to lower my graphics settings to almost minimal just to get a fps that would allow me marginal play.
Also, you do realize that they aren't going to be doing a graphics upgrade for a good long while now, right? You know when the last graphics/engine upgrade was? I6/CoV. I17 was essentially the GR/I18 graphics upgrade, rolled out earlier. -
Quote:I think it's so that whoever plays it fights themselves. So if you create it, I'd enter it with my Grav/FF and fight.... a Grav/FF.Originally Posted by Anarchist_Kitten
So the new "Doppelgangers" what's up with that? I mean I can already make a claws/regen stalker via the Mission AE, or are they going make it so that even enhancements and such are carried over, and can we finally have EATS and VEATS in missions?

Quote:I do use social networking sites, but I also have two online identities. My real name is used for some things that give me a good image. All gaming, however, is linked to my gamertag, which is my forum name here, my global here, and my forum name on most other gaming sites. With this change at WoW, I won't be using the forums there if I do get a full retail account. Not because I don't want to have my real life associated with gaming, or because I'm ashamed of it, but because gaming has a hugely negative stereotype and going into teaching, that stereotype can really screw me over.Originally Posted by Pouncer
STO asked its playerbase about linking with social networking sites and the players firmly replied "not interested".
I wonder if there's much overlap between MMO players and social networking site users. Most people I know do one or the other but not both. -

It's a random drop chance. 10% to be precise.
If you get that chance on a minion, it's 1 merit. On a lieutenant, 2. On a boss or higher, 3.
This is only if they con at least Green, of course.
If you take part in a Rikti Ship Raid, each Rikti there grants the appropriate merits upon defeat, 100% chance.
Other ways: RWZ contact missions grant 1 merit upon completion.
Parking in the RWZ grants the dayjob Vanguard Recruit, which gives you a bonus of 1 vanguard merit for completing any mission. After getting the badge for it (15 days worth of logged off time), charging that day job instead grants 2 Vanguard Merits per mission. The dayjob merits will stack with RWZ mission complete merits, for a maximum possible 3 Vanguard Merits per mission complete.

Quote:I'd think you'd need to have Stone in there somewhere for Flying Buttress.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
And kudos on making a plausible association out of "Armature Buttress". I am amused by it perhaps more than I should be, though it has me thinking along the lines of a robotic Elec/Warmace Tanker. But if he got Flight would he be a Flying Buttress?
Which reminds me of another method of getting a name. Incredibly Lame Puns.
Names I or my girlfriend have gotten with that method (A lot have bunny ears, but there's so many puns there):
Hare Bow (Emp/Archery defender)
A Hare Past Midnight (Warshade, repeatedly re-rolled)
Poke the Bunny (Spines/Regen scrapper)
Wind-blown Hare (Storm/Archery defender) -

Maybe a Chainsaw wouldn't work for a whole set, but I will vote for it to be a Broadsword/Katana/Dual Blades/Claws (wrist mounted ala Evil Dead 2) custom weapon

Quote:This. Even if there weren't a large contingent of players who actively dislike PvP, there just aren't that many people outside of instances. Open world PvP works in other games because there are reasons to be in the open. In CoH, the only place people are outside of missions for any extended period of time is under Atlas' crotch or in the markets, either place would result in the "invader" getting destroyed by the level 50s that loiter there.Originally Posted by Noxilicious
This is a bad idea because 90% of the game takes place in instances. This is pretty much all there is to it.

Quote:I think that was only the Dominator version, for whatever reason.Originally Posted by Carnifax
City of Data is unfortunately out of date at the moment (go look at Electric Armor for Brutes). I'm pretty sure Lift was raised to do the same damage as Levitate in or around i16.
*Edit : Actually I'm not sure if it was raised to Levitate levels or to Crush levels, but I'm fairly sure it did go up.
Anyway, yes, Grav/FF is slow-but-safe solo. And I do mean slow. However, it feels just as safe as a scrapper most of the time.
If your concept works with Sonic, I'd say that's a better pairing, as you get the -res in sonic, some +res for yourself, and the same mez protection. -
You said a complete computer meltdown? What kind, heat or otherwise?
And are you absolutely *certain* your video card escaped unscathed? What was the BSOD message when it BSODed?
It's quite possible your video card isn't as perfect good as you thought. -

Google up Joy2Key. It lets you map your gamepad keys to keyboard keys. Which would let you just map the gamepad buttons to the normal keyboard keys.

Quote:I know exactly where they get the idea. The rain and burn-type pseudopets tick multiple times per second. Each time, they may hit a *different* 16 enemies. Thus giving the impression that they don't have a target cap.Originally Posted by Sailboat
THANK YOU. I've suddenly been seeing this idea crop up just in the last few days, and been trying to pin posters down on where they got this idea. Example.
I was debating making a major thread about it. I hope your post refutes it well enough that no further effort is needed.
Sorry to disappoint, people. -
Quote:People took a KD-heavy set like Earth Control, then took the Primal Forces Mastery, and all of a sudden, things were flying off their Earthquake patches.Originally Posted by LygerZero
umm...so people took a KB heavy set like Energy, used power boost, and it (Godforbib) changed any knockDOWN power into knockBACK?
WTF!!?
/boggle -
It was changed because it boosted KB mag far too potently and people didn't like that it boosted their KD powers to the point where they were KB (KD isn't an actual mechanic, it's simply KB with a mag less than 1). The short text on the description, however, was never updated. /bug the description.

Quote:Time to add the third one:Originally Posted by Energyman
I did it in an earlier thread, couldn't resist. But I have the same sentiments. And as for the server architecture, yes you can have many virtual servers running on a single physical server. You would just need to make sure the physical server has the resources, memory, CPU, etc, to handle the virtual servers. A server like that for a game like this I would imagine would be pretty beefy but it's out of the realm of possibility.

Gah! It's driving me crazy!
Title should be: Do Devs hate bases
Current title is asking:
a) Do the Devs hate the base's question. (When will you love me?)
b) Do the Devs have a hate base. (Where they store all their hate and hate filled products)
Hehe, a Hate Base....okay grammar rage subsiding. -
There are no words to express how incredibly un-thought out this idea is, so Sam the American Eagle will do it for me:

Quote:Actually, that's not what "empty" means. It means it was sent from a character that was deleted after sending the email. It was a trick that they used to use to avoid getting their accounts banned.Originally Posted by Suspicious_Pkg
Someone has already reported an account as a spammer and the account has been removed. Now all the emails out there show the sender as 'empty'. Why not just auto delete them or give us an option to do so?
