    C'mon Devs. Remove intangibility as a mechanic completely from the game. It's where you're heading.

    Are you saying that because Black Pebble already left the office for the day?

    Also I dont think they are LINKED as in lifelinked.
    If you can be killed, then you're not very immortal.

    A better word would have been 'unaging'.

    But the literal meaning of immortal has been.... decimated!

    The actual mechanic is that it's based on whether it's the same boost or not, regardless of its value or name. The Devs could theoretically have given LotG+Rech and Huge Recharge Bonus the same name, both internally and as they show up in Combat Attributes window, and they would have been two different stacks of five with the same name and it would have appeared to be a stack of 10.

    But for all practical purposes, they gave different names to each boost power such that going by the boost's name is sufficient for figuring things out player-side.

    If, on the other hand, the Dev's used the Huge Recharge Boost as the power which LotG+Recharge 'calls', then together they would only stack five high, even if given different names and it would appear as if the value was the limiting factor.

    Then who's been playing with your Twitter account?

    The City of Heroes Freedomâ„¢ forums will be down for maintenance tomorrow between 10:30am PST (6:30pm GMT) and 2:30pm PST (10:30pm GMT).
    22 hours ago
    So... we're already 2 hours late for the forums' outage and maintenance.

    Solution: Get both pets and then the average price is pitched perfectly at 330 Points each.
  8. Does the tribute to Statesman mean we have to go without capes again?

    The Winter Event is indeed back until 7:00 a.m. PST (10:00 a.m. EST / 3:00 p.m. GMT / 16:00 CET) on Monday, January 3rd, 2012 and will allow you to get your fill of holiday cheer with presents and snowmen galore!

    If that's not enough, a couple of new additions will do the trick! Instant Snowstorm will summon a harmless snowstorm that will follow you for a spell, while Duplicating Gift will perpetuate the gift giving tradition... as long as the person you use this power on uses it on someone else and so on and so forth, so keep passing it on!

    For more details on the Winter Event 2011, check out our Events section later today!

    For some serious wintry fun, though, jump in game now!
    The Holiday Pack really should have been on sale starting today. It hurts my brain to see you not only not do something so logical as pair them, but to lose out on revenue because while waiting for the Holiday Pack to be released, people can run around the game and earn most of the same stuff for free and then say to themselves, "Meh, I really don't need to buy that Pack." <bangs head on desk>

    This isn't going to be the Zombie Survival Kit all over again when you release something season *after* the season is over, is it?

    If you're saving it for some other time, please at least announce when it will be available.
  10. Dunno why the Holiday Pack isn't on sale for the start of the Winter Event. Maybe this will be another Zombie Survival Kit.


    WRT "Dog Backlash" -- Players tipped their hands when they saw the wolf in the Halloween Event and went "ZOMG! TAKE MAH MONEEZ NAO!!!" When the Mini Snow Beast was leaked, players went.... "i guess that's nice."
  11. Tintable Halos -- Thanks, Tunnel Rat!

    Opacity fixed -- Thanks unnamed UI Dev for doing what even the great and powerful pohsyb could not.

    Incandescence fixed for PvP -- Excellent, that will stop a thread about it from starting every two days!

    No, that is not how Attunement works.
  13. You just have to fiddle with the color and intensity. Note that the way it looks in the changetitle window is a bit off from the way it will really look, so, you may have to fiddle around a bit.


  14. Well, there were some Arachnos incursions in the Neutropolis arcs.
  15. What's such a shame is that Becktrees only had nice things to say about you.
  16. 160 Points. Non-combat pet. Not included in Holiday Pack, which, BTW, is not available yet.

    It flies.
  17. An iTrial bus leaves Virtue's RWZ every 5 minutes.

(You see how the impact would be a bit different if he was rescuing Synapse.)
    I think it would indeed be a big impact if Positron took the killing blow on behalf of Synapse and told him, "I have always loved you."

    Winter Event

    So, think they'll get a timely announcement of the Winter Event up, or wait for a last minute website update or late email?
  21. /stuck came way after a solid globe for Atlas.
