Look at the bottom of the City of Heroes homepage. There used to be a green Nvidia The Way It's Meant To Be Played badge there. Now Paragon is wearing ATI red. I don't think that would be there to show CoX was "agnostic" between the two rivals.
I've cheered for the green team for years, but if ATI is who is giving the support to Paragon now... -

Not actually in the game, but if you get the sound files themselves, you can loop them in your favorite media player (if they play ogg, otherwise you need to convert them).

If the power is available in a story arc or a badge mission, that is true, because you can repeat those.
If the power is available only in a one-off mission, it is not true, because Ouroboros does not offer one-off missions. -
Ouroboros only offers story arcs and badge missions. Ouroboros does not offer one-off missions unless they are also badge missions.
Sorry, if you're doing this through Ouro, you're SOL. -
I really want to vote for Shia, because it's a really awesome piece, well done in a technical sense, and is very grand in scale. However, as the epitome of "save the world/destroy the world", it is not. They're in the process of beginning to do one or the other, but there's no winning or losing doing yet. They're standing in lines with disco lasers melting through the buildings behind them.
Therefore, I vote for Foo, because there is a definite turning of the tides, and the desperation of villains teaming up with heroes.. down to the last wire.. only a few people still standing and the enemies are still there in large numbers... That is an epic depiction of the last stand, futile though it may be, before the destruction of the world. Also, I will admit bias toward using a lesser-used enemy group and a pretty-much-never-used enemy in Rularuu himself.
Well done, the both of you. I am seriously impressed with both of your works. Congratulations on getting this far, and congratulations to everyone else who has been in the contest as well. And congratulations to a large number of forum-goers who got free arts (hmm, the most common depiction was TA.... *ponder*

Yes, but that was your suggestion... not the OP's.

This is the mission you need to complete from Neal Kendrick. It's a one-off mission, not a part of a story arc.

A lot less than I was expecting, actually. Huh, that was a surprise. I am terrible at 'guesstimation math', so I was expecting ~$300 more than I have actually spent.
Although if I added in computer upgrade/rebuild/upgrade/rebuild/soon to be another upgrade, it's a couple thousand more

If it's signature (explained in links), it spawns at the level maximum.
If it's not, it spawns at the highest level character.
Currently, TFs/Trials ignore difficulty. Once they've got that figured out, TFs/Trials will add difficulty on top of the level.
edit: Moonfire is a nonsignature task force. It will spawn at the highest level character, not at level 28 (it's maximum level). -
Quote:Basically, this, with caveats. I don't like being asked if there's room on my team, because I typically only team with folks in my global channels and on my friends list. (Although if they invite people I don't know, I don't pitch a fit, obviously.)Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
This is how I feel. If I'm soloing and I didn't hide from search or set my flag, then no harm no foul, since it's on me. If someone starts sending tells to all an sundry, whether they're teamed or not, it's a distraction with a very low chance for hitting on a team/person that can invite you.
If I'm on a TF, the last thing I want to see is everyone stopping for a moment because they all have to respond to the guy who is just running down the list and we all have to send out "no sorry team full" or "no sorry on a TF"
The person sending the tells may have the best intentions and be very polite, but that doesn't change the fact they're interrupting someone who is clearly engaged. (grayed out in the search window).
Personally I rely on my global channels, or my friendlist and don't indiscriminately send messages to everyone who shows on search.
There is a note in my search comment on every character ("No team unless I know you") - this weeds out a great number of folks, as most people are learning to respect search comments (it used to be basically worthless to make a search comment), although there are the idiots that PM me with "Are you sure you don't want to team even though you don't know me?" (No, I am not going to change my mind for your random-schmoe butt. Your momma may think you're special, but I don't know you from the next guy on the street.)
However, this happens very infrequently since I basically live on /hidesearch. -
Quote:Because the devs have a very heavy leaning toward heroic content, even on the villain side story arcs.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Why do you assume that the villains would be forced to do heroic things? They could just as easily make it so that heroes are forced/tricked to do some villainy in order to accomplish what they think is some greater good.
-
I would rather the villains attempt to take over a hazard zone or two (or three... or...), and turn it into a contested area. Wrest control back and forth for good/profit! But no actual PVP, just PVE stuff that gives bonuses/penalties based on who's winning at the time.
I'm OK with one more co-op zone (low-level, please!), but just not interested in turning EVERY hazard zone into more cooperation. I want my villains to be villains, not forced to do heroic/semi-heroic stuff in a hero zone (RWZ, I'm looking at you, you have NOTHING for my villainous villains.... only for my wannabe redemptioners). -

We've had some product placement, mind you - IIRC, you could see various NCSoft titles (including the City Of titles) in Heroes, among others - but whether that's paid placement or "We need some games, grab some and stick them on the shelf," I don't know.

Quote:DS is only open to villains (or Praetorians), technically. It's a Mastermind set, and Masterminds can only begin in the Rogue Isles or Praetoria.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Actually, that's not really a proper match - an AT isn't the same as a power set - Brutes are Villain ATs, but DP and DS are open to both sides.
It's comparing Granny Smith apples to Fuji apples, but they're still both apples. -

Quote:Because it hasn't... not sure where he got that from. The only thing the devs have said in regards to GR and Issues, is that GR would not be Issue 16. Going by past precedence (CoV and Issue 6), GR will probably coincide with an Issue release. But that's not guaranteed, it might just coincide with a standard patch (to update non-GR folks with non-GR-exclusive bits).Originally Posted by Zombie Man
I don't remember that statement being made...
No one knows either way.
edit: just saw Ninus's post:
If you want to take it that way, that's your prerogative. It's probably far more likeQuote:Originally Posted by Ninus
In any event, the reason for limiting CoV's ATs at launch was because you couldnt play a Villain or access the Rogue Isles unless you owned CoV. If Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning were 'exclusive to Praetoria' then even if you buy GR, you will have to create your new character as a Praetorian;
1. you can't play a Brute without CoV
2. you can't play Demon Summoning without GR
It has nothing to do with where the characters are being created.
edit2: see also, WoW - you can't play space goats (Draenei) if you don't buy Burning Crusade, that kind of thing. -
Quote:You don't need "C" to open the chat window in edit mode. The slash ( / ) and semi-colon ( ; ) do too.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
You don't like Autorun (R)? lol j.k I know many people that hate it too.
Actually, I didn't clear the "C" button, as it allows me to open the chat window while in Base Edit mode. If you are hitting it accidentally, I recommend re-binding it to something like Shift-C or some other key you are unlikely to press by accident, but something you can remember so you can also open the chat window while in SG base edit mode... or if the window accidentally gets closed for some other reason.

Quote:Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning are part of Going Rogue. They're listed on the Going Rogue site and they were talked about during the Going Rogue info-a-thon at Hero Con. If they were not part of Going Rogue, they would not be there on the website and they would not have talked about them as linked with Going Rogue.Originally Posted by JKPhage
And Demon Summoning + Dual Pistols. I seriously, HIGHLY doubt that they'll only be available to people who own GR, it's just not good business, not to mention that (Excluding opposite faction archetypes when COV was released) there has never been a powerset released that wasn't available to everyone. With two such highly anticipated powers I'm really thinking everyone will get access to them, and the bulk of buying Going Rogue is going to be Praetoria access, a huge chunk of new costume pieces (like we got with COV), the ability to switch factions and anything else that would require one to travel to Praetoria. At least, that's my take on it as I don't think the devs are THAT cruel to lock people out of a powersets for not buying a product.
PS; you admitted CoV limited its Archetypes to purchasing CoV. Why is it that the powersets of the poster children for Going Rogue (Desdemona, the Demon Summoner, and Maelstrom, the Dual Pistol wielder) cannot be limited to purchasing GR? -

My teleport bind for Warshades is really simple:
/bind shift+lbutton "powexecname Shadow Step$$powexecname Black Dwarf Step"
Since you can't use one while in form, and you can only use the other while in form, it doesn't interfere.
