Quote:I'll have to dissent on this evaluation. The amount of ancient mythology in the game could have come from anyone with a high school diploma. And the world of CoH is a rip off of the generic world of Champions, thus stripping out any sense of a unique world where ancient Greek culture has any more influence than it does in our real world, back story of the first novel notwithstanding.Originally Posted by SlickRiptide
In the final analysis, the cutting of ties to Jack can only be symbolic. His vision permeates the foundation of the game, and that is a good thing, frankly. His liberal arts mythology background gave the game a backdrop that is grounded in both classical and modern myth and legend and this makes it unique as a setting. It's one of the reasons that City of Heroes turned into something more than just a generic multi-player version of Freedom Force. -
Just don't get Ted McGinley to replace him!

Oops, then. It's been months since I played with it and the info from the thread I quoted has since changed.

At first glance, I bet the Easter Egg has to do with the Clockwork Numerical designations.

Didn't War Witch let slip a long while back that there was another Easter Egg in the RWZ that no one has found yet? Something involving a mail box?
The only Easter Egg I ever found interesting was the Dev office in the tunnels under Grandville which has since been 'trashed.' All the others have been way too timid. -

Hey everyone,
I've been following a ton of stuff that the board have been talking about since the Player Summit we held a couple weeks ago. We've taken a close look at your feedback on the various things announced, and are in the process of making changes where we feel it's appropriate and good for the overall game.
This thread is about Enhancement Converters. These are tokens that you can use to change Set-based IOs into other random Set-based IOs. The original thought was that the only way to acquire these would be through the Paragon Market. Several of you disagreed with this exclusivity to this item so we took another look at it.
We feel pretty comfortable in allowing these to be obtained in-game by VIPs. These will be sold on Reward Merit, Alignment Merit, and Endgame Merit vendors with the following values (subject to change):
10 Reward Merits buys 1 Enhancement Converter Token
1 Alignment Merit buys 10 Enhancement Converter Tokens (20 hour cooldown)
3 Astral Merit buys 2 Enhancement Converter Tokens
1 Empyrean Merit buys 5 Enhancement Converter Tokens
In addition, they will be rare drops from enemies for VIPs.
Remember, it costs 3 tokens to convert a Set IO into another, random, enhancement from that same set. It costs 2 tokens to convert a Set IO into another, random, enhancement of the same category, and it costs 1 token to convert a Set IO into another, random, enhancement of the same rarity. Basically the more possibilities it has to change into, the lower the cost.
Because of this, we're not going to initially sell these on the Paragon Market as we had first planned. These will be available exclusively in-game to VIPs by the above means for the time being.
Easy to buy in game.
Converted IOs stay their same level of rarity: Uncommons always are Uncommons. Purples always are Purples. PvPs always are PvPs. ATOs... etc...
3 Converter Tokens to remain in the set.
2 Converter Tokens to remain in the category (e.g., Melee Sets; Healing Sets; etc...)
1 Converter Token to remain in the same rarity.
So, get a cheap PvP IO, and spending 1 Converter at a time, roll to convert it into another PvP IO until you hit upon a Gladiator's Armor. And if that isn't the +3%Def one, spend 3 Converters at a time until it is. -

All open bids and sales will be filled by a dev script during maintenance. The market will be annihilated mwhhahahaha. -

Hopefully no one will. WE as players should be the main protagonists of the game. WE should be doing the great deeds and leading the charge against the forces of evil. We shouldn't be outshined by overpowered Mary-Sue NPCs.
Which is (one of the reasons) why States was killed off. Our character is the main protagonist of this universe. -
Converters *possibly* come out Tuesday. Nothing in the Beta Patch Notes or on the Official web page links Converters to I22.
Just like Super Packs introduced ATOs and Catalysts completely unconnected with an Issue Release, so, too, Converters may not be linked to I22.
Or they may.
So, half panic. -
I missed the memo: Since when is any one particular console game any type of worry that CoH has to steal its release date thunder?
It's like saying McDonalds is releasing the McRib Sandwich on a particular date because that's when a certain movie is being released.
Heck, you can be sure all the Devs will be playing it. Then, 30 hours later, everyone comes back to CoH. -

Interesting.... so Darkness Affinity and the Gravity Control updates are going live without their latest changes being tested at all? (Or without the latest changes for them even being in the initial live build?)
That seems.... questionable.

Do they have a power like kinetic (like raven from teen titans) or anny thing similar like levitation?
But Dark Assault won't go Live until Issue 22 is released this coming Tuesday, Mar 6.

Don't want to sidetrack the thread too much, but what?? Where did you hear about a CoH movie? I'd like to read whatever was said about such a thing.

Catalysts
Catalysts from Super Packs are initially Account Bound since any toon on one's account can claim the Catalyst sitting in the email UI. But once claimed they become Character Bound and no longer able to be passed among one's toons on one's account.
That situation isn't too bad since you just have to be careful with which toon is claiming the Catalyst coming from Super Packs. The problem occurs with Catalysts as drops which are also Character Bound. After you catalyzed your sixth ATO into a SATO... then any further Catalysts become a waste. They can't be moved between toons on one's account and can't be traded or sold. Since I tend to play my main *a lot*, will I be one day looking at 999 Catalysts in my salvage window doing nothing?
And so, suggestions:
1. Make Catalysts Account Bound and not Character Bound
2. Allow Catalysts to either be sold on at the Consignment Market or at least be able to trade them in for something useful, like 20 Merits, e.g. -
