  1. Keep in mind that even just tagging an enemy counts. There is no kill-stealing in City. If you do some damage to a dude, you get credit for it; just because you didn't land the killing blow doesn't mean you didn't get credit.

    All they have to do is cap the number of people allowed into BAF at one time to 16. It is a simple fix that would take less than 3 minutes to implement.
    Or just launch when you have enough people to start, picking up any stragglers, and don't deal with 24 people's worth of enemies and power effects. All of the trials scale to league size.

    Pretty amazing, really, how much difference it makes. It also means you start your BAF a hell of a lot earlier...not having to wait for those last handful of people.

    I only connect via boards.cityofheroes.com, and I'm one of the more vocal complainants in the Tech Issues forum thread, so it's not a cookie issue.
  4. They gave me a birthday present of Double XP. Then they became indian givers and took it away from me. Then they said I could have it later, WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE THE WEEKEND OFF, YOU JERKS.







  5. Level 30 Pounding Slugfest Dam/End does not use an Ensorcelled Weapon.

    Level 27 Reactive Armor End/Res does, though, and indeed does not list an Ensorcelled Weapon in the cookbook.

    Sorry, Aett...gotta disagree with you there. It used to drop into your tray when you got it. It doesn't anymore, and hasn't for a few years now.

    I finally got it! Poor Agge was languishing in my apartment manager's storage closet, waiting for me to rescue her (my schedule doesn't mesh with office hours)... but she is free now! FREE!!!!! I have been pondering how to get a good shot of her to post, but without another doll to pose her with, all she really has is conquering teddy bears (what I collect). :/


    ...of course, I could get my boyfriend's villain Laylafied and then they could have epic battles! Although since she's an Emp Def, Aggelakis would get her *** HANDED to her by Sparkerella (a disgustingly strong brute).

    Beta account?

    Note that if you only recently renewed (like today or yesterday), there is a delay between when your account renews and when the test and beta servers are updated with your details.
  10. Both are purchased sets. Time Manipulation is free for VIPs but will need to be purchased if your VIP status ever drops.

    You can use your 400PP/mo to purchase one of these sets (maybe two, if launch is far delayed), as they have been accumulating since July. Powersets are currently 800PP ($10) per set (unlocked on all applicable archetypes).
  11. There are three installations if you want to participate in all testing phases:
    City of Heroes (this is the live servers)
    City of Heroes Test (this is the Training Room)
    City of Heroes Beta (this is for Closed Betas which then move into Open Beta, [sometimes, not always: which then graduate to the Training Room,] followed by Live...it is not accessible unless there is something being closed beta tested, unlike the Training Room)

    Just wanted to mention, the G510 has customizable backlighting, with a "colorwheel" style choosing, so you can get pretty much any color other than pure black and pure white (you can get really damn close though). My bf has two color profiles: one at mid-brightness blue for daytime and one really dark blue (almost to the point of not seeing the keys) for nighttime (much easier on the eyes in dim/no lighting).

    Hey wait, didn't you help write some of the content that references BABs as a Phalanx member?
  14. I removed it from his page and replaced it with Regulators, which is the group he formed in the 70s.
  15. My bf has the G510. I have the original G15. They are almost exactly the same size.

    The G15's LCD is fold-awayable, the G510's LCD is integrated into the board.

    A red/yellow is one inspiration, we'll call it Instakill. You pop an Instakill. Then there is a cooldown between when you can pop another Instakill or a Pickmeup (green/blue) or whatever. There is a cooldown in between BOTH regular inspirations AND dual inspirations. That's what I took away from it.
  17. They were for sale at the "in game store" (on site merch table) at the HeroCons. Haven't seen then at M&Gs for PAX (I live in Seattle).

    Since I knew someone going to HeroCon, by proxy I got my boyfriend the villains spider symbol (black on a red shirt) and I got myself Liz's "what kind of hero are you?" teeshirt. Don't remember if it was last year (which as I understand it wasn't a "real" HeroCon but more like a M&G) or the year before.
  18. So excessively better than the first revamp, there are no words to describe it. Other than being kinda more colorful than I prefer, this looks absolutely awesome.

    VIP players also use Global Character Tokens. All the servers will have 12 unlocked slots automagically, then VIPs will use their Global Character Tokens to unlock any other characters that exceed 12 per server.

    And within 20 minutes, no less?

    I am not worthy.
    She moved up here last year.
  21. Far more than I can count, since I've deleted countless characters, and have spent way more time on the forums and the various Titan Network sites/programs (Mids, Paragon Wiki, CIT, etc.) than is prudent.

So, there is nothing in its description of its physical description to warrant a semi-tropical climate which it's supposed to have. The lore is self contradictory based on real world geography.

    But since NJ gets lost of sunny days, your point remains.
    I always get Bermuda mixed in with the various Caribbean islands for some reason. They're pretty far south of NJ, though. Also, the Etoile Islands are 20-50 miles off the coast (Spider City, Grandville, being cited as the furthest out, at 50 miles) not 200.

    It is actually explained on the wiki, but I can understand glazing over that part (more articles on the wiki need more pictures/graphs for visual-learning people). Experience is...basically "copied over" from one build to the other(s).
