  1. Recall, Detective, Academia, and Science have been in the files for years, and possibly even from launch - the upload timestamp on PWiki of the images is from 2005. They'll likely never be used.

    perhaps if you were to do some corrections on your original work, you may not have to retake posting 101.
    WIN! ONE INTERNETS, SIR. WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE IT DELIVERED?








    This text is down here simply to avoid the auto-lowercase forum fix. (Ha ha, you thought this was important text and you highlighted it.)
  3. JLove has been quoted as saying he wants stuff to look good, and he thinks that having long and/or physics skirts looks like **** due to clipping (not exactly his words).

    Since he's basically the person who decides, he wins.
  4. If you want to post opinions, go post them in General. This is for players asking questions and other players answering them. Generally having to do with fact, not opinion.
  5. Clipping has no relation to how much skin is shown. Do you really not know what clipping is? Clipping has everything to do with the dress looking like **** when the body model is animating, moving through legs/torso/other costume parts/NPCs/other players/etc.

    A merged market has been explicitly nixed for Going Rogue. Heroes and Vigilantes can only use WW. Villains and Rogues can only use Black Market. No idea on Praetorians.

I stopped the first payment and then added a new payment, which meant that my account wasn't active during the period of time.

    I can't really blame them for my error.

    I can be annoyed that they chose such an arbitrary and pointless method for selecting people to be eligible for the Beta play, but I can't blame them for something that essentially I caused.
    Send a petition. One of my friends lapsed for two hours due to incorrect figuring (she was at work when she lapsed, thinking she had time to input a time card after work), and they fixed her up.
  8. Obviously it's not working as intended, and thus is a bug, and thus the developers will fix it.

    CoV Collector's comes with seven HeroClix, including Lord Recluse which was exclusive to CoV CE. There's an art book, some CoH CCG cards, and a two-sided poster (heroes vs villains, and a map of the Rogue Isles).

    In-game, it also gives an Arachnos chest symbol (which is visually different from the vet reward Arachnos symbol), and an Arachnos cape.
  10. Special IOs have two flags depending on who the effect will be cast on: target and caster. Caster will ALWAYS give the effect to the caster, no matter what power it's slotted in (for instance, KB protection IOs); target will give the effect to whatever the target is. Beneficial effects can be given to enemies; harmful effects can be given to self/teammates (in theory; currently there are no harmful special IOs that can be slotted in self- or ally-affecting powers, that I know of).

    The devs have never said PLing is an exploit, and have actually said that PLing is NOT an exploit, abusing imbalances and holes in the game is an exploit, whether it's in the furtherance of PLing or just standing around doing nothing. So how the heck could you even come up with this opinion? Yes, it's tripe (nonsense, rubbish, drivel, etc.) - and it's wrong - and it's deliberately wrong, because I've seen people refute you before on this topic.
  12. PLing is not considered an exploit. PLing is not against any rules in the game.

    Utilizing exploits is against the rules. Utilizing imbalances in the game to further PLing is against the rules.

    PLing is not against the rules. Farming is not against the rules.

    Please note: I am not a farmer or PLer. So don't start that tripe with me.

    KB vs. Imm

    Knockback is not stopped by immobilization. It's only stopped by knockback protection.

    However, several immobilizations include knockback protection (it's thematic). Not all, though, like Gravity's immob does not have knockback protection.

    If the knockback mag is higher than the protection given by the immobilize, then the immobilized character/critter will still be knocked back.

    Honoree is Hero 1 after their suicidal trip through a Rikti portal, where he was ...changed... through a similar process (the same process?) that The Lost go through. Read up on the Hero 1 memorial, the cape mission, the Time Capsule, etc. (Text deliberately obfuscated.)

  17. Sewers and Eden trials both give reward choices at the end as well, for Hydra-Os and Titan-Os.

    Hamidon gives a reward choice popup, but obviously isn't a mission, so doesn't count. (Just mentioning to complete the ___-Os triad.)

    The outdated wiki has an appropriate Vault Reserve page, as well. I actually checked there before giving my link, just in case the OP was looking there.

    Paragonwiki really didn't go into too much detail except to mention the amount of spaces you would get with each level. They also mentioned a "Physical Vault Building", one on the Hero side and one on the Villain side which I cannot recall ever seeing.

    ...nnnno? Hero Gear Kits were sold at Hero Con this year (and last year). They were not the CoH Collector's DVD box, but a bag of goodies, leftovers from when they removed them from the website for purchase.

    Would You Buy...

    If those are the only items included in the pack, no... no I would not.

    If there were a large number of items (30 or more, perhaps?), considering these are base only and do not affect my character, therefore no one would see my use of them unless they were inside my base... sure. Enough items to create a full base decor out of, for instance.

    Edit: Hmm, interesting. The plastic card wouldn't happen to say Pocket D VIP Pass on it, would it?
    *deadpan stare* I'm not an idiot, thank you very much.
  23. The box I got from big lots a couple months ago (um, maybe more like a year ago? haha) had a scratch card in it. I'm looking at it right now, in fact.
