Love the new site Jomaro. I wish you much success because you've earned it.

Now, about the contest. I'll be there for sure! Just be aware that Pocket D only holds like 75 people per instance. I'm guessing this contest will generate several instances of Pocket D.

Nice ones!

Yay! I really want a teleporter to the Hive because most of my toons are super speed and it's a royal pain to leave and come back via Eden.

Interesting. I wonder why he stopped doing them. He used to frequent a forum or two that I do but suddenly dissapeared.

I believe he went to college and also it's possible Marvel and DC were giving him legal issues. He had some really good sculpts of those companies charaters and sold them on his site and eBay regularly. He actually did a cool custom statue of Snake Eyes he was selling on eBay and that's how I met him.

It's in my signature under Black Mute and if you look on the DoIDD website, more images are there as well under Black Mute Images.

I'm not sure if I completely understand what you mean by 'colors fading over time'...?

Perhaps it would help for me to point out that I'm going to be painting these...?

[/ QUOTE ]

The sculptur that did my statue of Black Mute had to apply a special sealant to protect the paint (automotive varnish) that takes about 48 hours to dry.

If you want me to, then I can PM you the sculptur's e-mail if you have questions about protecting the paint, but he doesn't and I repeat he doesn't do statues anymore. He may be kind enough to answer your questions though.

I just saw the finished product colored on the MMOArt site and that looks really good Earthstorm. You should really enjoy that!

Very nice job on that Juggertha!

Does anyone want a Bruce Timm/DC Animated Universe style version of their character?

Right off the bat, I figured the first person in line would be Thor's Assassin...so as an example :

Thor's Assassin

Thor's Assassin w/lightning aura

They take a few hours to make. This one I believe took 4 hours. I've been wanting to be a bigger part of the art community here, so this is my contribution. Art trades are welcome, but not required.

Any other takers? Screenshots are a must.

Wow, that's dead on the animated DC Heores look. Super awesome! Here's my main Black Mute I'd like to have drawn.

So it's not actually working as intended, then, because the buffs DON'T stack?

[/ QUOTE ]

To answer my own question: I've been doing some testing, and the buffs are definitely not stacking, neither from the same station nor from different ones. I even hopped between Arcane and Tech. No dice.

'You failed to create the Increase Run Speed because your inventory is full.'

So, we're currently stuck with buffs that are too weak to use unstacked, and which refuse to stack! Obviously, this is going to need fixing one way or the other.

Till then, let's just put the word out not to use up Salvage on these things until they're fixed. Maybe this could be added to the known issues.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hold on a sec. Did you try stacking buffs from a teir 1, 2, and 3 empowerment station?

[ QUOTE ]

1. Is there only one "level" of empowerment station? Which is to say, there are three levels of workshop (basic, advanced, expert). Are there three levels of empowerment station, or just the two flavors, (tech/arcane)?

[/ QUOTE ]

Here's a link that answers your question: Empowerment Station Types

[ QUOTE ]
2. What kinds of salvage can the empowerment station convert? Which is to say, can one empowerment station convert any kind of raw salvage in the game into components, or only certain kinds? (I suppose this ties into question 1, since if there are 'tiers' of station, then I'd imagine each would only convert salvage into the corresponding tier of components.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Any level empowerment station can convert salvage to any available type component from my testing.

Hm... well the only thing I can think of (and it seems to make sense logically) is that there are no "raidable" items in my base, aside from my Telepad and beacons. Didn't they fuss with the code of raidable items so they'd be higher level?

That might be the source of the error.

[/ QUOTE ]

That may isolate it a bit. We do have raid porter. Keep in mind this has never happened EVER and we have had base since day one of live. Edit daily.......and new patch. Something in there, with 2 other groups, something is very specific in this bug.

[/ QUOTE ]

If your VG would like a base to use until yours is fixed Warface, DoIDD would be glad to coalition with you and FUSION for it's use. Let me know.

* The maximum mission reward that a character can receive is now character level +3. Example: A level 10 character (not sidekicked) in a group running a level 20 mission will receive the equivalent reward of a level 13 mission upon completion.

Doh. Oh well. Was only a matter of time.

I'd feel better if they didn't drop my toggles as much in PvP. Then I at least could stand a chance. I know something is in the works for I7 regarding the toggle drops, but I don't know if I'd want to have the devs change anything regarding making any AT less powerful.

Villian Group Name: The Department of Inter-Dimensional
Destruction (Main) DoIDD Rogue Agents (Alts.) DoIDD Special Forces (All 40's and soon to be 50's)

Website (if any): www.doidd.com

Global Chat Channel (if any): DoIDD (Invite only)

Leader or Recruiting Officers: DJ Jester and Dr. Quantum are the leaders. Recruiting can be handled by @Black Mute

Preferred Method of Contact: You can reach me by sending an ingame email to Imhotep, Forum PM to Black_Mute, our SG/VG website, or this forum.

About DoIDD:

1) Don't be a jerk! (We look for good fun players who do not grief, act like jerks to anyone in the group our out of the group, etc)

2) Don't Kill Steal (In some games this isn't possible, others it is)

3) Devote a Costume Slot to the Department Uniform by lvl 30 (City of Heroes / City of Villains only)

4) Maintain Contact via the DoIDD Website. You are reqiured to log into the DoIDD website and be aware of forum posts / information AT LEAST once per every 7 days. Anyone who does may have their membership revoked. If you will not be near a computer for more than a week's time simply post a leave of absence and let us know.

5) In-Game Roster Activity: Due to many games limiting the size of a guild we will remove any character that is inactve from the roster of that game after 15 days unless a leave of absence is posted on the DoIDD site (simply telling a member in game IS NOT THE SAME as posting a leave of absence, people forget and it is not their responsibililty to keep track of you and make the post for you). Leave of absences will only last for 30 days. After that your character will be removed. If you change to another game as your primary game, just log in every few days for a few minutes and log out. If you quit that game entirely please let us know and remove your character from that in-game roster.
Also please note: If you leave the game and come back and have not left a leave of absence you are MORE than welcome to come back into DoIDD. We simply removed your character to keep space for active characters. This is a must now that Prestige is such a huge factor in City of Heroes and City of Villains.

6) You CAN NOT be a part of another guild/supergroup/clan, we require our members to be loyal and devoted to their fellow Agents. Its not fair to either group for you to join multiple guild/supergroup/clans. (Exceptions are on a case by case basis, discuss this with a Special Agent). Anyone who does not will recieve a warning the first time, dismissal the second. If you will not be near a computer for more than a week's time simply post a leave of absence and let us know.

7) We only have a Villian Group on Protector, no Super Group on Protector.

Agreed, it'll make you feel terrible when you get home the day you expect the game to be there, only to discover the FedEx guy left you a note saying you weren't home and didn't leave the game. Happened to me when I pre-ordered BF: Vietnam.

It may have been mentioned somewhere, but I think another great feature of the two day head start is being able to name my toons. I have some names for my toon I really like, it this'll give me a better shot at getting those names.
