    Either way, thanks for educating me on the logic.
    You have to discount I/O's in your calculations as well, because the Dev's treat IO's as optional and they don't (supposedly) change powers for them.

    Just remember its all a trade off, survivability for damage. Blasters are on the far right of that scale, and tankers the far left, and scrappers are somewhere in the middle. Somewhere there is a tanker that is wondering why his level 35 power does so much less damage than a scrappers 26...

    Veteren Rewards?

    About 4 in 10 toons have had this problem. I have not found a common demoninator among them
    I had this problem on a new hero I made, I couldn't select the powers until after I leveled up, which isnt normally the case. I had a theory that it wasn't the character, it was that the Store was down at the time I was trying to select. I haven't been able to test that though.
  3. The main reason for this is because a scrapper has greater survivability in Melee than the blaster does. So it is a trade off for the blaster, want to do that high damage? You may die.

    Plus, dont forget the scrapper attack has a chance to critical and do double damage, the blaster does not.

    Do you have a firewall? If so, what kind? Make sure CityOfHeroes.exe & CohUpdater.exe have the rights to access the internet.

    About Time

    Mods probably wont see it in this forum, it is just for player questions. You want a mod to see something, send them a PM.
  6. Yeah, way back before the Wiki, I used to have a guide to what each server was known for, but it tends to change frequently.

    Those are some big words man, are you ready to back them up?
  9. Going a little off topic here...

    You could make a hat, a pterodactyl, or a broach....
  10. I think these reviews are awesome, you and Terminus should definitely keep them up. Though I do fear I will see one of my arcs up here...

    Uh yeah, we can read that, but what is your point?
  13. I had noticed it was borked last wednesday, I thought it was related to the Bulletin Board change, but now I see that it's not fixed now. Haven't seen any official announcement on it though.
  14. Also check the last update time on the server status on the bottom right:

  15. Arc Name: A Little Help Here
    Arc ID: 1190
    Faction: Freakshow
    Creator Global/Forum Name: @AnotherDeadHero
    Level Range: 1-50 (Recommended 25 and up)
    Difficulty Level: Medium-Medium/Hard, Difficulty can ramp up on larger teams.
    Synopsis: The Freakshow have stolen some hi-tech weapons and used them to capture some heroes.
    Estimated Time to Play: 15-45 minutes

    This is a quick "One and Done" mission against the Freakshow. It's good for solo players as there are many allies, but it can also be fun for groups. It is a very large map with bands of enemies, but you do not have to defeat all to complete the mission. It can also be fun to repeat because due to the map size and the random locations, you may not run into all the hostages all the time.

    Arc ID: 1168
    Faction: The Suffering Syndicate
    Creator Global/Forum Name: @AnotherDeadHero

    Estimated Time to Play: 30-45 minutes

    In this three mission arc, you will take on all levels of the Suffering Syndicate from the Interns to the CEO. These missions can be challenging, where defeat is a real possibility, especially on larger teams. Random maps are used to enhance repeatability.
  17. Arc Name: High Fashion, High Danger

  18. The indicators do not reflect population, they show server load. So Freedom and Virtue being at yellow doesn't mean there were less or more people on the server than any given time. To know how many people are on you should try /search.

    Down Time??

    It is I-15, unless there is some other surprise mystery patch being put out.
  20. I guess the question in here is "Where is the question?"

    I believe the max before it passes is 45 days. If you really want to keep your status, have your friends create another group and coalition with it. Then they can use your teleporters and invention table and such but they will not get promoted over your characters.
