    But if you ever apply for a job with a Japanese animation studio, you could use this as a reference...
  2. With less than a week left to go, I honestly didn't think I'd find a use for the "Ignore User" feature...

    If NC Soft had announced "Though COH is currently profitable, it's revenue is steadily declining and it will start losing money soon. To avoid that, we are pulling the plug now." I (and I think most players) would have sadly accepted it. However, NC Soft has to my knowledge never claimed that. Every thing that I've read suggests that it was doing fine, especially when compared against competing MMOs which are shutting down because they are actively losing money.

    Or you're going through Hogwart's at the same time as Harry's kid's. Though the story sometimes brings you into contact with them, you are the one who saves the day (or not, if you're Slitherin ).
  6. I just took one of my Praetorian characters through the First Ward arcs, and the NPC/contact phasing seemed to work properly for me. I did not notice Noble Savage until after his story arc called for him to be there, and he would have been hard to overlook.

    This character never completed the story arc/mission to leave for Primal Earth.

    Bat Aura?

    I do know that you can unlock it by running Dr. Kane's House of Horrors, because I just did. You can queue for it via LFG's "Holiday" tab.
    Thanks! For some reason my search-fu on Paragon Wiki failed to find it. Now I can at least "go out in style"...

    Bat Aura?

    I can see the bat aura in the costume shop, but when I try to buy it with my available pts I get an invalid SKU error. Is it possible to purchase the bat aura, or it unlocked in game somehow?
  9. I Imagine that she danced a little jig after sinking that oil tanker off Port Oakes. I still think that the UN or Interpol should be after her for that little act of terrorism...
  10. I spotted the helicopter shadow during the big protest last week, but no one in my team believed me. Now I have proof that I am not insane - well, maybe not definitive proof, but it's a start...

    We do know more advanced LUA scripted cut scenes and missions were coming because Dr. Aeon mentioned that. We know the powers team was targeting Tankers next after Blasters. We know the storyline was moving to the Coming Storm.

    I *think* more solo incarnate content was coming. Everyone seemed to know new powersets like Psi Melee were coming. There was the pummit-designed Radiation Armor coming and the costume sets.

    The devs would have to provide the specifics, though, and I don't know yet what they are allowed to talk about. Aeon was pretty safe about LUA, because it was already established technology and it gives no real industry secrets or IP away. But technically NCSoft owns all the design work the devs have done to this point, and the devs probably aren't allowed to release all the specifics of it.
    And don't forget Dual Archery and Fish Armor - Positron has been promising those forever...

    Thanks Castle. This increase to the BASE attributes does not appear obvious to many users when looking the Real Numbers stats. Any suggestions from anyone on a way to make this increase more obvious to players?

    I remember fighting an AV in that room years ago on a low-DPS team. The AV started running when his health was low, and that's when I first learned that there are more than three levels to that room. The AV was running along pipes and through narrow crawl spaces between the floors, as we tried to scramble after him and apply damage faster than he could regenerate. It took almost an hour to whittle him down - a grand fight, but not one I would like to recreate very often...

  15. I think the copy tool has been down for a couple days. I tried to copy a toon over last Friday, but it hasn't appeared yet.

  17. With the addition of animated tails, Issue 17 will now be forever known the "Pistol-packing cat-girls with mirrored sunglasses" issue...
  18. I just tried to login to a character who was logged out there - no go, same symptoms you report.

    Well, since I play mostly red-side, I take his account as authoritative. :P

    Actually, when I read the novel I got the impression that it was an extremely advanced technological device of some sort. Of course, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
