I dl'd the patch and logged in and my resolution is stuck at 800x600. I cant even get past the rules your supposed to agree on before it lets you choose your server, because it doesnt fit onto the screen. Looking for a way to change my resolution back.
-fullscreen 0
To control screen size, you can also add this instead:
-screen <Xsize> <Ysize>
Example:
-screen 1024 768
Combined example:
-fullscreen 0 -screen 1024 768
If you are trying to set it to fullscreen at a specific size instead add this (changing 1024 and 768 to what you want):
-fullscreen 1 -screen 1024 768 -

The easiest way to see it outside of the game is to:- enable chat logging
- use the /mypurchases command
- close the game
- Find the chat log. It should be in the \City of Heroes\logs\game logs\ directory.
- change the log file extension to .htm
- open the log file in a browser

Quote:If you wanted everything in the Going Rogue: Complete Items pack, it will be $11.25 USD compared with $7.99 before September.Originally Posted by Pendix
I already own the Going Rogue box. I got the pre-order, so I didnt get the costumes. I was always planing on getting around to buying the pack, then Freedom happened & it looked like the costume parts of the booster packs could be bought for less than the booster, so I held off. Ahh well, they are quite small sets, I think if I buy all the pieces seperatly they will still cost less than the pack did (just more than the other bundled sets).
However, you don't have to get the Shadowy Presence power, so that will save you $0.75.
Going Rogue: Complete
2 Auras (Alpha, Omega) - 160 PP worth of parts.
0 Costume Change Emotes
18 Costume Pieces (Alpha Belt, Alpha Boots, Alpha Chest, Alpha Gloves, Alpha Hat, Alpha Head Detail 1, Alpha Head Detail 2, Alpha Pants, Alpha Pattern, Alpha Shoulders, Omega Boots, Omega Chest, Omega Gloves, Omega Hat, Omega Head Texture, Omega Head Texture 2, Omega Pants, Omega Shoulders) - 600 PP worth of parts.
2 Regular Emotes (Heroic Stances, Villainous Stances) - 80 PP worth of parts.
1 Crappy Permanent Temp Power - 60 PP. -

They are more related to PVP than Badges anyway. -

You will have to find an unused CoH Collector Edition Box somewhere, or find an unused Hero Gear Kit for sale (possibly from a convention at a Paragon Studios' booth).

Quote:I'll point out that was 1 for each costume slot opened before September 13, not after. So a max of 5/character.Originally Posted by venombeyond82
I'm thinking this may have happened. Also Lothic, I didn't mean you didn't get me, I just ment Globe seemed to actually know the source of what I was talking about is all.
But Considering I have, now, 10 Costume Slots opened on like, 7 of my chars, I'd have expected 10 Tokens... Considering they say one, for each unlocked, and it counts as unlocking, according to the store, to buy 6 7 8 9 and 10. So yar.. here's hoping we get them.. as even with 50% off costumes, they're still a touch on the expensive side. And I'm saving my money to do other thing-a-ma-jigs. -
Quote:I agree with you.Originally Posted by Lothic
Just because there are still examples of legacy things that don't fully use the email system does not mean that it isn't their ultimate goal to do that. Again from a software engineering maintenance point of view it would definitely be easy for them to have ONE main system to deliver all rewards to players rather than to try to maintain several various individual older systems/scripts for it.
I also say that all the incarnate bought costume/tailor stuff should be simply unlocked account wide instead of needing to be claimed.
I mistyped "slot" instead of "token", but yeah, only 1 per toon I checked. Even on characters that I had 5 slots unlocked on.Quote:Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Hrm... Interesting. -
Quote:Like the Freespecs? They aren't given out through the email system either.Originally Posted by Lothic
Once again I'll make the point (based on simple engineering maintenance principles) that it'd be pretty silly for anything to be left outside the umbrella of the email method. What advantage would the Devs have by maintaining two or more legacy methods to deliver these kinds of rewards? Why bother with the email system if they didn't plan to use it for everything?
When has that stopped them? Case in point, new costume bundles/parts bought from the Paragon Market, the new Reward Path Auras are simply unlocked without the need to claim them. Yet the costume parts that are bought at the Incarnate vendors still need to be claimed.Quote:Originally Posted by Lothic
I'm just making the point, once again, that the Devs' fancy new email system OUGHT to be handling these free tokens the same way it's now handling everything else. If it isn't that'd be semi-ridiculous.
-------------------------
Checking over my logs, I was given 1 costume (edit: token) PER CHARACTER, not per costume slot unlocked. -
Quote:Because there was already a developed script for the last, 13 issues for granting tailor tokens as part of an issue release? One that had nothing to do with the Vet Rewards System or Account Rewards? It was tested, stable, and it worked.Originally Posted by Lothic
That doesn't answer whether or not the Devs have decided to use their new method to deliver rewards (via in-game email) for these freebie tokens. Since the OP is unsure whether they were rewarded or not I think it's reasonable to at least -suspect- that the freebie tokens are now being delivered to us in the same way most everything else is now coming to us.
Frankly is seems silly to me that the Devs would not use the new email system for -everything- like this now.
Why develop a new reward delivery system and not use it for everything?
The original poster might not be sure, but I am. I have several characters that didn't get tailor tokens beyond my vet rewards.
I can verify that I didn't get the costume tokens on my newer characters, and they DID break a LOT of costumes (most heads are apparently broken).
That would be a new way of doing things. There is a developed, stable, and tested script that apparently wasn't run when they patched to Issue 21. It checked each character for how many costume slots it had open then gave that many tokens to the character.Quote:Originally Posted by Blue Lava
Snow Globe to the rescue !
Perhaps it was simply given and you can walk up to a tailor and it be usable.. just like being able to type in /respec vs having to go to a respec arbiter
Just a thought -
You're welcome.

Quote:No, I only got my vet reward costume tokens given to me through account rewards.Originally Posted by Lothic
Check your in-game email for either the account rewards or characters rewards.
Pretty sure your tokens will be claimable from there.
How about this:Quote:Originally Posted by venombeyond82
Yes... so do I... I think people are misunderstanding... In the past, even after claiming the ones from Vet Rewards, or even now Via E-mail from the Paragon Rewards, they Still Gave Out, Free ones, that instantly applied to each character, that you didn't have to claim.... I've claimed all the ones given to me, for being a vet, we were SUPPOSED to get more, this was said IN a U-Stream and on the old Beta Forums, that once freedom Launched, we'd have more given to us applied to each character.
Seriously, I'm not sure how more clear I can be about this.

And if that wasn't enough, all our VIP players will receive:

Quote:My premium account has GR:Complete, so I can answer this with 100% certainty.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
So in my quest to recruit new players, one asked me yesterday: "What happens if I just buy Going Rogue? It's $15 at [some random store]. Will that unlock Praetoria and the Alignment system for me, even though I'm still a Premium?"
Honestly, I didn't know how to answer. The discrepancies between what you buy and what you get just confuse me--and as a VIP I can't test this out.
Can anyone help me help my friends?
Thanks!

- NO ACCESS to the INCARNATE SYSTEM (No, it was not a part of Going Rogue. It is only open to subscribers.) (edit: after your VIP status lapses.)
- One month of VIP access. *

Quote:Sliding scale:Originally Posted by Kotchie
What in your opinion makes someone a "badger"? Is it purely badge count? A collection of certain types of badges? What would you deem as a "hardcore badger"?
0-150 : Basic player. May be just interested in getting accolades or hasn't played the character long enough.
150-300: Mild badge collector (depending on level, if sub-20 then move 2 notches up the scale). May have set aside time to collect explores.
300-500: Enthusiastic Badge Collector (if sub-20, move up two notches). Tends to go slightly out of the way to collect badges and likely has a fair competency of the character.
500-800: Dedicated Badge Collector. You have to go out of your way to get this many badges. This player understands their character well and likely has spent a great deal of time on it.
=== Hardcore Badge Collectors below ===
800-1,100: Committed Badge Collector. This group had to have switched sides and have gone out of their way to get most of both sides badges.
1,100-Max: Zealous Badge Collectors. It takes a lot of time and effort to get the remaining badges. Farms, dozens of Master of Attempts with TF/SF/Trials that might not be to the player's liking, and generally going above & beyond regular play to get badges. -
Quote:Yeah, I found a level 35 Fake that didn't give credit in Crey's Folly. There does seem that there is something up with Fakes all over.Originally Posted by Ultimus
No as I said in my post earlier I did a Sara Moore TF and half those Fake Nemesis in door missions were not counting either and it was a level 50 TF. Also I watched when I hunted in PI. I sometimes had a spawn with two Fake Nemesis in one spawn. Sometimes one would give credit and the other would not. Thus, it cannot be level related if two from the same spawn and one in the spawn gives credit and the other does not.
Personally I think its related to the shield they do at low health. -

While being a 'tourist' you cannot:

If you are a hero or vigilante you can access the hero version of Ouroborus.
If you are a villain or rogue you can access the villain version of Ouroborus.

Give f2p players access to the /req channel. It's a channel that can be easily filtered by other players who don't want to see it, and can be used to better coordinate groups.
I honestly can't think of another way to put how much I feel about letting F2P users use the request channel. Allowing that would open the floodgates of the RMT spamers. So that is a horribly bad idea of galactic proportions.
People still use the request channel to organise raids and trials.

Yes to these.Quote:Originally Posted by AmazingMOO
