    Indeed! Either it wasn't up when I first checked, or I missed it. Either way, cool beans, I'll add it to the spreadsheet now.

    (By the way, the Cupid Bow from the original Roman pack is NOT available on the Paragon Market at this time.)

    EDIT: Cool beans, I just received word that these are back for good. There will be an official announcement next week.

    I did not know that.

    Heh, I always thought Performance Shifter was a classic arcade joystick. Turns out it's a stick shift. (Which I suppose makes more sense.)
  4. Should be fixed after today's patch.

    Pets
    • Buff and Vanity pets can now be used by Kheldians while shapeshifted, and now persist if summoned in Human form prior to a shapeshift.

    Um, they didn't design anything new for the Banished Pantheon. The female Pantheon members that they added for i22 use existing costume pieces, mostly from the Mutant pack.

    From the way you always talk on the forums, I'm surprised you're planning to use those points at all. Seems like you'd be happier just walking away.
  7. It is Tuesday again, aka NEW STUFFS DAY!

    Today's release is three new Store-Bought Enhancement Sets: Unbounded Leap (Jump, 15-50), Energy Manipulator (End Mod, 10-20) and Efficacy Adapter (End Mod, 21-50).

    Further, the Pocket D costume pieces are back... possibly for good this time? Who knows, they didn't even mention it in this week's official market highlight post. (NOTE: The current bundle, listed as BUNDLE: Pocket D Costume Pieces, does not come packaged with dance emotes or the Pocket D VIP Pass.)

    This week's sales:
    • Super Pack: Heroes and Villains (Qty 24 only) -- 20% off (1152PP)
    • Select Healing, End Mod and Travel Enhancement Sets for 50% off:
      · Numina's Convalescence, Healing (30-50) -- 468PP

      · Efficacy Adaptor, Endurance Modification (20-50) -- 256PP
      · Performance Shifter, Endurance Modification (20-50) -- 366PP

      · Celerity, Run Speed (15-50) -- 228PP
      · Blessing of the Zephyr, Universal Travel (10-50) -- 252PP

    EDIT: OP and spreadsheet have been updated.
  8. Yeah, I'm just gonna say this: after so many years of people asking for a quiver, it's going to annoy me greatly if they charge for it. I sincerely hope that if it ends up in the store, it at least goes up as a Freedom Freebie for the release week.
  9. Just an FYI, between of the patch tomorrow and my part time job schedule, it'll be late afternoon before I'm able to get the spreadsheet updated.

    I had intended to do the update before going in to work, but the patch time is designated to end at the same time I'm scheduled to start my shift. Apologies for any inconvenience.

    There is. Schedule one on your home server's forum, and have everyone meet in Warburg for a giant brawl. (Of course, that requires level 30+ characters.)

    Back when I farmed it, I did so over the course of a couple weeks, at about 30-90 min each sitting. Of course, you lose a point or two every 24 hours.

    But I was also simultaneously farming for two accounts: mine, and my at-the-time girlfriend's. I stocked up on wakeys, parked all of our characters against the south wall of Warburg, and would take turns defeating all the characters with one of our badge hunters. (Also, keep in mind that defeating someone that has at least 20 more PVP rep points than you gives you 5 BONUS rep points--since I had more 30+ characters, I always made sure she had at least 20 more rep points than me every time I switched off to defeat her, ensuring I got 6 points for taking out her badger.)
  12. Thread necromancy aside, no, City of Heroes wouldn't work on an Xbox 360... CoH is a game that uses OpenGL graphics, while the Xbox hardware uses a derivative of DirectX.

    I do suppose it'd technically be possible to port to PS3, since the system supports OpenGL, but I doubt the developers want to support another release version. After all, they still don't officially support Linux (players have created scripts allowing the Mac port to be run on Linux). And the original developers of the CoH software, Cryptic Studios, had intended to port their next game(s) over to PS3, but those ports were scrapped for one reason or another.
  13. Radiation Armor is a definite yes--it's the power set that was crowdsourced during the discussion at the last Player Summit. However, there are no definitive power names nor a release estimate at this time. It won't be out until after Bio Armor and Nature Affinity for sure.

    Radiation Melee has not been officially commented on by developers. It might be in development, it might not, but the devs aren't saying anything. (I, personally, have not heard anything concrete about it... just rumors from a few somewhat unreputable sources.)

    The two systems are tied to the same server. You won't lose them on any existing characters, but it's possible that you might not have access to them if you create a brand new character... at least until the maintenance period is over.
  15. Put simply, some ATI drivers work better than others for CoH. There's a thread about which drivers are best for CoH compatibility here.

    It looks like the 12.4 driver is currently the best (though I personally am still running 11.9).

    Don't let that stop you from asking tho.
    Basically what Forbin said.

    I don't expect anything to ever come from it, but I certainly don't have any complaints about the suggestion.

    Dark Matter Aura

    To add to Zombie Man's info above, the Dark Matter aura is ridiculously pixelated when set to the eyes, compared to when it's applied to other body parts.

    Correct, it was part of the Science Super Booster, and is now part of "BUNDLE: Superscience Costume Pieces" package. Or available on its own, of course, for 20 PP.

  21. My guess is still late August/early September, but it is just a guess.

    Don't forget, it's only been two weeks since Water Blast came out.

    Actually, what was basically asked for (and what we're getting) was things themed similarly to Mad Max.

    I think those are just regular Resistance boots, introduced with Going Rogue. The official list of parts in the OP doesn't mention any boots at all.

    Clean versions of what, pauldrons/gauntlets made from shredded old rubber tires? Perhaps the torn, patched pants?

    What, other than the hockey mask, do you want to see an optional clean texture for?



    AGAIN, I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO ASK FOR A SEPARATE SPORTS-THEMED PACK THAN TO INSIST THE POST-APOCALYPTIC PACK HAVE "CLEAN" OPTIONS.
