    Edit: Average Damage:375.85 is correct as far as i can tell, unless the power detail is wrong
    Keep in mind that it doesn't really matter what the average damage says, since HoB's damage can change by a very large amount from one firing to the next due to its mechanics, where (IIRC) each tick has a 50% chance of landing.

    They are shiny new models for your character's weaponry; just like at character creation where you can choose from a bunch of Broadsword swords, there is a Broadsword sword you can purchase from Vanguard to enhance your costume. (Same with almost every other weapon.)

    They are used against anything the Vanguard is fighting, which can include Rikti, but includes pretty much anything else, including PLAYERS on several missions. Otherwise, you would call Council weapons "Council 5th Column Weapons" since they are currently fighting each other. Which makes just about as much sense as calling them "Vanguard Rikti Weapons". They're Vanguard weaponry, just like Colt is a type of pistol.

    The Vanguard weapons are listed under every powerset that can utilize them. For instance, scroll down to "Assault Rifle", then scroll to "unlockable models"; "Vanguard 'Redding' Rifle" is listed there. That's Assault Rifle's Vanguard model.

    If you're talking about the temporary powers, which are not really "weapons", they are located here.
  3. Another friend just got bit by this. I've changed two MOTDs to tell people not to buy stacked items from the market. UGH.
  4. My friend got bit by this, so I'm bringing this back up to the top of the stack.
  5. You're still rooted. There is no activation time because when you click HoB, you're actually granting yourself a no-activation-time defense buff and summoning a pseudopet at the same time, basically, sort of, and the real numbers don't show that properly (not sure if it even CAN).

    release notes?

    OMG. They just can't win. When they post things on the forums, people ***** about not finding them on the official site. When they post things on the official site, people ***** about not finding them on the forums. LOL

When your in the RWZ war room where Lady Grey is have you seen all of those invention machines? They have VANGUARD Rikti Weapons to augment your own powers. You can buy them with Vanguard Merit Points. I have not bought any of them yet because I'm curious about their effectiveness.
    Those are not Vanguard Rikti weapons. They're Vanguard weapons.

  8. Missions do not utilize most of Ultra Mode's graphics options, so that's no way to test it.
  9. Yeah... the prima guide from 2004 is retardulously out of date. It was out of date the day it was printed, and it was also printed with a bunch of errors. Burn it in a fire.

    Ocassionally, I use the wiki but it just doesn't have details I need. For example, details about the capabilities of Vanguard Rikti Weapons.
    Huh?

    Vanguard are the faction that fight against the Rikti. What the heck is your last sentence supposed to mean?
  10. 33 Month veteran rewards are ranged attacks that give bonus damage to matching origins. The Nemesis staff gives extra damage for Science, Tech, and Natural origin characters. The Blackwand gives extra damage for Mutant, Magic, and Natural origin characters. If you don't match origins, you still get the base damage; just not the bonus damage.
  11. CoH can utilize two cores. It cannot utilize all four (or more if you have more).

    However, that does mean you have two (or more) cores that can be used for other programs' needs (like Photoshop, etc.)
  12. Sigs have to be a max of 150px tall, so you need to bump them down in size, but otherwise I like the first one's brightness with the second one's images.

    So basically, what Obsidius said. As is, with no changes? First one. Make second one brighter? Second one.
  13. You might be able to turn a couple Ultra Mode options on to low/medium. If you turn everything up to medium/high/max, your computer will probably attempt to barf the game out the CD slot. That thing is ollllllld.
  14. Probably get better response down in the Mac forum. We're mostly Windoze folks here.
  15. This is the same issue that happens occasionally where the game "forgets" the EAT "flag". Some patches or NCsoft account maintenances will remove the EAT flag from an account (and not all accounts, it's REALLY WEIRD). If this happens in the future, you'll just need to log any character above 20 in and you'll get EATs back. Keep in mind that same-faction unlocks still apply (need a lv20 hero for HEATs, lv20 villain for VEATs).
  16. I almost forgot to do it, but I updated our Player Events thread with news of April's vote. Hopefully we'll see some new faces. (Don't be afraid, we don't bite unless you request it.)
  17. Do both! The game is practically about alts, after all.

    Welcome back.

    ...why use Google or Yahoo to search our forums when we have our own search function? Searching on player suggestions implemented got this result on page 2: Suggested by Players - Implemented by Devs - List. You'll note that even though the thread is from 2006, FOUR YEARS AGO, there were already a ton of implemented player suggestions.

    There are probably newer versions of the same list, with updated player-suggested features/tweaks/whatever, but I stopped when I got a hit.

    I transferred 2 characters in WoW at $25 apiece (about a year apart, but still). My wallet cried those two days.
  21. Download the file. Open the folder where the file is. Right click the file icon. Run as administrator.
