  1. Keep in mind that the fact they didn't go Live last week was a bug.

    Also, they won't even get into the office for another 40 minutes.

    And... it's not really an emergency like the servers being off line.

    We need a bacon buff powerset. (Since I think Uberguy covered all the relevant info.)
    Came here to say the same thing. Every time... "Healing Bacon..." Wha?!

    Oh.

Or am I seriously wrong in thinking that? I have only claimed catalysts from the cards and only on the toon I was going to use it on, so I am asking honestly before I get too invested in all these new systems.
    Catalysts from Super Packs are theoretically Account Bound, because only characters on your account can access them. But once a character accesses a Catalyst or receives it as a drop, then it's Character Bound.

    Never. They're stringing folks along in the hopes of a Staff set without ever having to deliver.

    Genius!
  6. Drops will also a barely noticeable effect on the overall Market for a while considering their rarity. When you're Converting to get to that very pricey proc within a set, it's 3 Converters a pop. No one's going to be crashing the PvP:+3%Def/Res market anytime soon at that rate.
  7. Converters are only available through the Reward Merit Vendors in the Live environment. On Beta, they're available also through Astrals, Empyreans, and Alignment Merits.

    Since it costs 10 Merits to buy 1 Converter and it can take about 20-40 Converters to change garbage into gold... you probably could have already turned those Merits into gold an easier way. Until larger bundles of Converters are available through the other vendors, Converters are likely to be a non-player in the grander scheme of things.

    Hey, guys?

    The only 'Dominator love' I know of was when Dominators were skipped in the last *proliferation* and there was promise of something coming for Dominators. It was not a promise of brand new sets, though the proliferation of Dark was close to being new sets with all the new animations and powers.

    Previous to that, you had Dominator changes where some damage was moved from Domination to non-Domination attacks so that Dominators weren't so hot and cold outside of perma-Dom.

    Also, perma-Dom was allowed to continue to exist.
  9. It seems that they will eventually find a way to make Catalysts account bound. But whether they code salvage to take an account bound flag or code an NPC to accept a Catalyst salvage and email you a voucher, it still has to be coded. And programmer time is precious. Making one work on this means that they can't work on something else, like a project for the next issue. So, after deciding how to make it happen, it has to be scheduled, then programmed, then tested.

    So... maybe for the next Issue. Or for I22.5 if there is one. It will *not* be in Patch 1 which is likely due out tomorrow.

    I play another online game that has a anti hack system and it's been telling it's detected a hack program but ya I never hack games so this is bogus and it kicks me out of the game regardless like after 10 minutes. Could the map pack be doing this at all? It's the only thing that I can think that coincides with this but maybe something else idk. Would it be worth it to uninstall the map pack to find out?

    This probably isn't your guys expertise but I don't know where to ask and the other game forum is you know full of trolls.
    The map pack is just graphic files, not even programs, that reside in the CoH subdirectories. It would pretty much be impossible for them to be the cause. It would be like your photo album being flagged as a hack.
  11. Another tip until a save function is available: /cleartray

    It removes all the icons so that you can methodically replace them.

    Edit: Scooped! Curses!

    For the sake of round numbers, if an Enhancement had a 20%/20% aspect grant, then a +1, which is a 5% boost, would turn that into a 21%/21% aspect grant.

    You are correct they do not affect special proc effects. However, if the proc also has an aspect grant, e.g., Luck of the Gambler: Def/+Recharge, then the Def portion is boosted.

    hence this thread

    i think...
    Unlike with your own pets or other allies, if you don't participate in the damage, you get no XP.

    That means +5 Lv 50 IOs are equal to *purple* enhancement numbers?
    This also means that Hasten and Stamina can work with just 2 slots now
    (sorrys have been away for almost 2 years, it's a lot new stuff to learn)

    Going to check how to enable the booster effect on IOs in Mids
    Yes.

    Yes.

    Tricky. Right click a slot to pull up the enhancement selection window. Hover the cursor over an enhancement. Then hit the + or - keys to change the booster level. The booster level shows up not in the enhancement selection window, but in the pop up description window and the info window.
  15. Sounds good, thanks, Snow Globe!
  16. Eh. Aeon's gonna kill them all anyway.

    1. I assume that they lock in place like any other enhancement requiring either a respec or unslot token to remove.. correct?
    Yes.

    2. Do these mix and match with the standard IOs with the same set names? Ie. if I have five of the in-game Obliteration IOs slotted in a power and purchase the store bought equivalent to the sixth and slot it with the rest of the set, do I get the full six slot Obliteration bonus?
    Yes.

    That's what they said they were *not* going to do.

    Because, if they do, they use artist time creating unique costumes that players will not have access to, because the 'signature' NPCs get 'signature' costumes.

    Then the playerbase will be crying over not having the new shineys.

    WRT final Praetorian iTrial: It will be a combined Cole and Hamidon battle. You have to travel to forty dimensions defeating and collecting their version of Cole in order to power the Cole-gun which you use to shoot at Hamidon. It shoots Coles. That explode on contact. That is all.

    There's nothing to test with Converters since they were supposed to go Live last week. They are unchanged... just waiting to be implemented. Most of the patch is also stuff that was supposed to get done for Live and the rest are bug fixes.

    This has all the hallmarks of going Live this Tuesday.
