    That's cos the squirrel in your avatar bit it off.
  2. They do have control over drop rates, inasmuch as they can increase or decrease the percentage that each critter drops at... but they do not have control over YOUR SPECIFIC drop rates, that is just silly.

    Thank you very much all.
    Keep in mind that no tank is really really really good until at least 18, if not 20 or 22, or even later depending on how you're building. All tanks have to "grow into" their powersets.
  4. Almost every time, no matter the level. There are times when I skip training for "power" levels as well, though that's much rarer and is typically only when steamrolling dudes with my friends where one more power isn't going to make a difference between winning and losing. (It's pretty hard to lose in this game, anyway.)
  5. I would LIKE it to be completely open, but I accept that that's not the way it will be.
  6. Lots of discussion about that in the Tech forum, five up from here.

    BS: The source of Incarnate power goes by the name "The Well of the Furies," but that is not its only name, and the Fountain of Zeus is not the only way to gain its attention. The truth fits within existing lore, but the concept actually goes a little deeper than previous speculation might imply. As a possible example, what if I told you that Hamidon was one of those who found another way to tap into the Well of the Furies, thus making it an Incarnate as well?
    I am *so* happy that this is one of the questions answered, because that means even though "Well of the Furies = Incarnates", it doesn't mean "ONLY Well of the Furies = Incarnates", which means characters are not railroaded down a single story path. Kudos, devs! (Also, thanks for answering my question )
  8. Did you purchase a European or a North American version of Architect?

    Are you using the matching file to launch the appropriate version of the game?

    If you bought a European version of the game, your installation folder should contain CohUpdater.eu.exe.
    If you bought a North American version of the game, your installation folder should contain CohUpdater.exe.

    If your installation folder does not match what it should, rename the updater file inside the folder to match. Then copy the file to your desktop (right-click on file, copy...right-click on desktop, paste) and run it from there. Tell it to install into the already-created installation folder. You can then delete the file you copied onto your desktop, and the extra garbage files that were created during the "re-installation".

    This can be set by particle physics quality/count in your options already.

    Even after GR, broadcast / global channels won't cross from Paragon City to Rogue Isles to Praetoria, and you couldn't team or anything even if it did.

    So anyone who can actually hear you knows what "game side" you're on, and your surroundings should definately let you know yourself.

    And for the co-op zones, it doesn't matter; especially once side switching goes into effect.

    $Name, $AT, even $Origin I can understand, but what would you use $Side for?
    Have you ever actually used a Global Chat Channel?
  12. The @ indicates to the game that it's a global name. Any name without the @ is a character name, even if you are using the spelling of a global name, even if the global name is not a valid character name.
  13. Did you forget the @ at the beginning of your global name?

    If this thread does not help you, post your HiJackThis and CoHHelper logs in a new thread in Tech Issues & Bugs (link), not here, where you will get better tech support from players. This section is more for "Where can I find Carnies for my hunt?"

    Alternately, you can just go into your installation folder and rename the updater that you've got there.
  17. Archery is pure awesome and win, so I say that.

    (This post is not biased by having an empathy/archery main character. Nooooooooooooo.)











    RAIN OF PWNIES!
  18. WASD for movement, space to jump, right-click-hold for mouselook (Q&E are turning also but I almost never use them). Tilde (~) is follow, tab and mouse thumb button are targetnear (even my ranged characters play in melee so I generally don't care about dudes on the outlying edges), ctrl+tab is targetnext, mouse pinky button is "targetcustomnext friend", f is to switch on/off my travel powers/sprint, ctrl+f is "/search" and shift+f is turning off all movement toggles.

    I use the keyboard for all my attacks, etc, except stuff that's off in the extra trays they gave us (mostly porters and long-recharge accolades and stuff). Main attacks/buffs/etc in 1-0, secondary attacks/buffs/etc in alt+1-0, toggles/self buffs/etc in ctrl+1-0.

    Screenie of my UI, even though I've slightly updated it since then so some stuff is different.
  19. I misread your question the first time 'round, you are asking about changing a piece of your costume, not how to get a second costume slot (which is how I read it the first time).

    That's at Icon, available in Steel Canyon, Independence Port, and Founders Falls. Also, the RWZ has an Icon Employee, and Trina the Seamstress in the VIP lounge of Pocket D.

    Picture 1: When a graphics update comes to a game, people pay closer attention to the graphics. Flaws that have been there the whole time tend to be noticed a lot more.

    Picture 2: No idea.

    So you favor removing flavor instead of updating the way the store is displayed? Because you quoted my first sentence (homogenizing the enhancements results in the game losing flavor) but not my second sentence (possible solutions that do not make the game lose flavor).

    Now, I know I'm putting words in your mouth, but that's what it looks like from this side of the discussion.
