  1. Yes, too many failed attempts at logging in will block the account until you contact NCsoft about it.

    Someone asked. I answered. I don't care about rep, but I'll answer any question that I can here in PQ.

    Costume question

    Sexy Jay (the main costume guy) has said that he won't release something that he doesn't think looks good, and he hates the way full length robes/skirts look. So until something miraculous happens, we're stuck.

    Not quite. You must meet the minimum level of the arc to join someone else doing the arc. So a level 20 can do it, but a level 19 and under cannot.
  5. I have no idea, and I don't care enough to look.

    Acrobatics

    I don't think I'd bring Acrobatics into a Dark Armor set, since it's an already endurance-heavy set, and Acrobatics is one of the higher end/sec toggles.
  7. Make the old buildings as pretty as the newer buildings. Anything created after, say, the Faultline revamp looks distinctly better than the old building textures. The textures are clearer, they're not so samey-samey, and there are differences between the buildings.

    And the question was resolved, and the resolution acknowledged by me, before they even posted to not-condescend to me about how I should just try harder.
    He never said "try harder". He said maybe you should alter your tactics (and tactics can include changing what powers you use) to improve your skill.

    Try to stop being so antagonistic against someone who hasn't even said anything wrong.

    Because this is an open forum, anyone can post anything (within the forum rules). Your question was answered. Wonderful. Someone else came along and offered some advice to possibly get you around the next time you have the original issue that caused your question.

    Nope. Not really.

    However, this being a game I don't feel I'm obligated to do anything, and am more than marginally annoyed that you'd presume to chastise me for not working harder to Play part of the game when I'd really rather not PLAY that particular part of the FRIGGING GAME right now.

    Jesus, you sound like a father telling their bum son to get a job.
    It sounded to me like Panzer was giving you advice, not telling you how to play your game. You are the one that put some sort of emotion into it. Do not blame Panzer for the way you read it. This is City of Heroes, we've got a better community.

    I certainly didn't see even a suggestion of "obligation" or "chastising".

    So, we have to use all this other special hoodoo just to get shots of our characters from within the Costume Editor.
    Note that alt+printscreen functions differently than printscreen by itself. Have you tried alt+printscreen?
  12. Nope. The only options are:
    - Refer a Friend: get time for recruiting a new player
    - Invite a Friend Back: get time for bringing an old player back

    Booster Packs

    It stands out like a sore thumb having something that only lasts for 30 days when every other pack is perma. It's cheaper aye, but at £3 it's a third of the subscription costs for something that potentially could be recurring for little benefit, none when compared to getting the other packs.
    It's a fly pack not a jump pack. It was created because people wanted the fly pack that came with the $20 game card without having to pay $20 for it (most people are on a subscription plan, and oftentimes pay less than $15/mo due to price breaks on buying more months at a time.)

    Also, as stated previously, it came out before the Jetpack Vendors, so it was the only re-obtainable travel pack in the game blue-side. (Redside has access to a re-obtainable travel pack through flashback.)

    Power Questions

    Because the slows drastically reduced the amount of incoming attacks, which is a very large part of a Brute's Fury generation.

    That image is pulled directly from Paragon Wiki. Look at the source URL. Additionally:

  16. If you have the slots to spare, it's always a good idea to put one in, but if you're strapped for slots and need to either slot an attack or a toggle with endred, slot the attack first.
  17. Indeed, I never pointed out anything wrong with your previous post that included a well-spelled "lolcoh".
  18. You can't "install" through CohUpdater.exe from within your installation directory because it's trying to update/replace itself, which doesn't work.

    Copy CohUpdater.exe to your desktop (the file, don't make a shortcut!) and run it from there. When it asks you where to put CoH, point at your current install directory. When it's done, you can delete CohUpdater.exe (and the garbage files it creates) from your desktop.
  19. Search his posting history...I'm too lazy.

    In order to promote story-telling, I think that there should be an XP Curve where a 5 mission arc grants full XP and XP decreases as arcs get shorter. As I said, I don't think one mission arcs deserve any xp at all - as it is not a story; it's just one mission.
    Then the farmers will make five maps in a row to farm instead of one map, thereby getting their full XP allotment.
  21. Sexy Jay (the main costumes guy) has already said he won't implement things that he can't make look good, so a floating/embedded backpack option isn't viable at this time. Until they can figure out how to do it RIGHT, you are SOL.
  22. He is an unlimited missions contact, just like Borea in RWZ, just like Radio/Newspaper in city zones, just like Meg in The Hollows, just like most of the Shadow Shard contacts, etc.

    He does not have a story arc.
