  1. Just talk to a contact sitting in your active contacts list. They'll have someone to refer you to. If there's no one there, gameboy's method works (but there's almost always someone there (especially blue-side)).
  2. It usually means there's something between your click-target and the camera view. Usually it's something as stupid as a hanging cobweb, or the targeting box of an enemy or ally just out of camera view.

    Ooh, you're right. Tier 4 Core on all, plus Tier 4 Radial on Rebirth, plus Tier 3 Partial Core Clarion, have enough duration to be perma (though the buff gets weaker over time until refreshed).
  4. 1. I went in game and poked at Maggie, who has higher levels of Incarnates than the rest of my chars, and it looks like the Judgements actually can be affected by debuffs (and thus probably crashes as well). I went around poking CoT for easy debuffs, watching my last tohit saw wild fluctuations in last hit chance depending on level of dark debuffs on me. I don't have any lore pets, so I don't know about their attacks but I'm assuming they can be debuffed.
  5. 1. Only other incarnate powers (e.g. Alpha's "global enhancements" - other than Spiritual's recharge). No, crashes don't affect them.
    2. Yes.
    3. Lore pets are 5 min duration, 10 min recharge. Judgement is 90 second recharge. Interface is a chance to proc on each damaging personal attack (e.g. no temps, no vets), chance varies on tier. Destiny buff durations vary by tree and tier (60-90 seconds, no buff for Rebirth Tier 1) and recharge is 120 seconds.
    4. No.
    5. No. You must build each rank, but you can basically "buy" parts with Astral and Empyrean Merits (via downgrade and sidegrade).

    They know. More back pieces are coming.

    Stop trying to beat them over the head with a stick!

    Refusing to take part in iTrials is as valid a solution as anything else because if people have tried everything they can to make them work smoothly and it is still not working for them, then why carry on wasting time on them when they can go do content they will enjoy.
    The OP has stated they never lead leagues, and then proceeds to complain about people who lead leagues how they're doing it wrong. Guess what? Lemur's glass house comment is spot-on.

    I updated the article to reflect how the proc works. There is no more suppression. Instead, if the buff is going when it procs again, the buff refreshes, regardless of the power (no stacking).

    It is theoretically possible for Energy Blast to have the recharge buff up more often than not (each attack having a 10% chance to fire a buff that lasts 5 seconds)...though in all reality, it is not a reliable source of recharge buff.
  9. Not quite, Rajani. It's a step and a half down within the same generation (first number is generation...6xxx).

    It's high-mid range and should handle low-end ultra but probably will choke on the higher settings.

    I love it, especially since I am a rabid altoholic and can't remember what server I logged in on or where I actually am... maybe I drink too much... either way, it's a fun command.
    I have this bound to shift+/ (aka ?) in my default keybinds. Oh so handy since I have over 100 characters... several duplicates spanning different servers...

    Looks like it's different depending on which Windows you're using. I'm on Windows XP SP3 --

    RIGHT click, Adjust Date/Time, change tab to Time Zone, and then it shows GMT not UTC (granted, the same thing; but if we're talking about giving a specific-step process then you have to be precise).
  12. A maximum of three days. Support requests are closed three days after last contact.

    You can go into your list of previous support tickets and update a ticket to open it back up.
  13. Working fine here, one comp with XP and one comp with Win7.
  14. T4 requires two T3 of the same "tree". So two cardiac T3 for a cardiac T4. Two spiritual T3 for a spiritual T4. Two Rularuu Lore T3 for a Rularuu Lore T4. etc etc etc.

    There aren't many powers in the game that ignore Spiritual. Only like ten or fifteen total, and most characters can only access one to three of these (outside of Incarnates).

    Yes, for the Magic Pack. The rest will be slightly lower since there aren't as many costume pieces in the rest of the set.

    New price 2800pp = 35$

    35$ =/= 10$

    I understand that buying separate parts will come more expensive but 25$ more then what price used to be is too much.

    Also consider making discounts when people buying bundle (whole costume set for example) and make option to buy bundle.
    I was trying to buy whole Victorian steempunk costume from character creator screen and had to buy part by part which was annoying.
    Although the price list given before open beta said "Magic Costume Set 400pp" - we haven't seen bundles yet.
  16. Yep. They're all located in Texas now. They used to be in Virginia and California and Germany, but everything is in one place in Austin TX now. And to be honest, there were many reports from Europeans saying their connections to the old NA servers were often better than their connections to the old EU servers. The internet infrastructure in the US is heftier than EU, and Germany in particular.
  17. There's a few posts going on in Tech right now where folks are looking for pointers for upgrades.

    Kings Row
    Skyway City
    Steel Canyon
    Independence Port
    Talos Island
    Brickstown
    Founders' Falls
    Peregrine Island


    You have selected Skyway City Safeguard.

    Do you want to:

    1. Proceed at your current level (Level 50 facing Level 50 enemies)
    2. Exemplar to Level 20 (facing Level 20 enemies)
    The problem with this one is that enemies in City don't necessarily cover every level range, so it wouldn't work like that. They'd have to spend A LOT of time creating new enemies for almost every faction, since most of them are represented in Safeguards/Mayhems.
  19. I've been playing for six years total (including lapsed time, almost seven years) and I still don't have everything memorized. I love seeking. Having everything on the map at all times takes the seeking part out of it. If you end up making this suggestion, I will definitely voice my disagreement with it.

    If you don't want seeking missions, you can do radio missions, where everything is always in the same place (the last room). And, let's be honest, there's not actually that much seeking in City...the vast majority of seeking is "go to the last room on the map". If I have no idea where something is, chances are pretty high that if I keep running away from the mission entrance, I'll get to the end and it'll be there.
  20. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=759

    There's an active thread in the beta Discussion subforum regarding Mayhems and Safeguards in Ouroboros. There was probably a thread in the closed beta forums too. The devs probably have already thought about it, to be honest. Our devs aren't dumb. If you'd like to talk about adding something to beta, best bet is to do it there, where the devs are concentrating.



    Regarding the question at the end, I have no suggestions.
  21. I use the neck chains (normal and heavy) a lot, but more to simulate necklaces than to be "wearing chains".
  22. If you're going to post, please post in the thread in Tech Issues instead. Maybe we can break the forums entirely if we get enough posts in there.

    *sigh* Nevermind that idea.

    But still post in the Tech thread anyway.
  23. Kinetic Combat grants three movement set bonuses at five enhancements:
    Five enhancements improves your Run Speed by 5%.
    Five enhancements improves your Flight Speed by 5%.
    Five enhancements improves your Jumping by 5%.

  25. OK. Now I'm really confused, because I put all of my settings (except for FSAA because I forgot about it) to exactly match yours. Here's what I get:



    Obviously something is going wrong here, because with nearly the exact same settings, on a card several generations older than yours, I am getting prettier results. No coneheads until they get far away (see far group in image).

    I have...no...clue.
