    A. You will be able to manage your VIP subscription from the In Game Browser.
    I hope it will still be possible to manage our accounts (and to buy Paragon Points) outside of the game. Reason being that in-game browsers sometimes have problems with opening the pop-up window needed for "Verified by Visa" cards. It's the case in another game I sometimes play, so I have to buy points and such externally there.

    Nice one, though kind of wondering why Zwillinger said that they launched City of Villains in 2006. It was released on halloween 2005.
  4. Same problem here. It's usually back after 2 hours, and we're 30 minutes past that now.

    Last I checked it's still August until the end of today, so how exactly is it "this month" when it won't be for sale until middle of September?

    Looks great though. One of my characters has a background as basketball player (before she got her powers and had her dreams of a pro-career crushed when she got kicked from the league for having an unfair advantage) so the basketball thing will be perfect for her.
  6. I have a female character of max height, but what I did there (and do on all female characters) was to set the leg slider to minimum, because I think the default settings for the legs make them out of proportion with the upper body. I tend to go for the "youthful" headshape though, so it adds a little bit of height there compared to the default.
  7. I prefer a prompt that takes me a few seconds to click "no" on over being stuck with an unwanted buff for 20 minutes...

    It doesn't, if you read the extended bio. That happened later, after she became a Praetor at the age of 22.
  9. I'm confused. If she was born during the Hamidon wars, how come "our" Shalice Tilman (Sister Psyche) is over 80 years old?

    So, what's the point on the Complete Collection?
    30 days of game time?

    But not for the much shorter trip from Atlas to the tailor inside the Vanguard base, accessable from Atlas and now open to characters of all levels?
  12. Nevermind - didn't see that it was an old thread...
  13. My base is probably too large to realistically fit inside a building, so it's underground somewhere. Probably in one of the areas between zones (the regular zones seem have all the space taken already :-P), with teleporter access to and from it.

    Not the same thing. Just as some people are hardcore about the "no defeat" thing and delete the characters if they are defeated (I think there's an SG like that on one of the servers), I am hardcore about not having external buffs when I am soloing (because having buffs from others isn't truely soloing).

    Yes. And I'd set them all to auto-decline anyways. Lots of clicking between my 18 heroes and 12 villains. Up until now I've been managing to avoid the un-refusable tarot buff, but while I was fixing my power customization (since I17 broke that on all slots except the first one) on one of my characters some player ran by and hit me with it. Cue 20 minute downtime while I'm waiting for it to wear off so I can go play again. Some kind of fix is needed, and soon.

    Well in my case (I can't speak for anyone else) it's kind of like people are saying that my own powers aren't good enough. I solo around 99% of the time, so I enjoy trying to get by on my own powers (and inspirations in some cases) alone. Having a bunch of buffs that I didn't ask for on me takes away from that.
  17. In another MMO I play, you can simply right-click buff icons to deactivate the corresponding buffs. That would be a nice thing to have in CoH too.

    That's where I'll be tonight. I can wait until tomorrow with checking out the new stuff in I17. Didn't pre-purchase GR anyway (waiting for the full thing with free month and all the goodies in July since that's a better deal plus I'm busy enough with working up my 18 heroes to where they can make use of the upcoming end-game stuff).

Not a clone, but a tribute meant to make you think of Captain America. She doesn't pretend to be him.
    If she doesn't look like this either, you might be safe:

    Seems i'm not alone with this either, global channels are full of lag complaints.


    I'm guessing some crappy router in germany died?
    I had the same problem, so I logged out, and discovered that the MajorPatch (pre-download for next issue update) started downloading. If lots of people are getting that one (as my slow download speed there seems to indicate) that could perhaps explain the lag...

  23. Nice one.

    The end in the RWZ seemed a bit off though. Back in '06, it was still the Rikti Crash Site. Vanguard hadn't established themselves there and it wasn't co-op.

    Edit: And that's from a game approved by LucasArts.

    Shame no one ever does the arc any more (or so it seems). I remember back in the day, hanging out in Atlas and seeing the Infected heroes running by, covered in flies It was (is) really a distinctive arc.
    I've done that arc on all my heroes as a "rite of passage" before hitting 20 and picking up Stamina. The mission where your health, endurance and regen/recovery are debuffed really tests the limits of your character.
