    Gonna have to agree with this... The original Darkness powersets are showing their age worse than most, and they look bad when trying to recolor them as anything other than grey or brown... (and certainly not the red my Corruptor's background called for)

    The new visuals for Darkness Control, however, look aamaaaaaaziiing. I'd love to see those graphics breathe life back into the older sets, since they're so much fun to play to begin with. *_*

And super jump which has the steam pack and the back pack from the bank missions which could fill that option as well not to mention all the flying back packs already in the game so come on already do the power pools all ready
    It's kind of hard to understand what he(she?) is saying here, but I followed and agreed with at least this much:

    I would pay a few hundred points each for a zero-endurance cost toggle that makes your character take up the Ninja Run and the Beast Run stances all the time (just without the travel benefits of the actual Ninja and Beast Run powers).

    I've been running into endurance issues on a character that I've taken to using Beast Run for because I never, ever want to detoggle it--it works too well with the character's theme! I've also already got plans for a Staff character that will almost always use Ninja Run.

    Loved that game... Shame it bombed so bad.

    Why can't you do this for us?!
    My last job, I worked for a company that did video forensics software. Believe it or not, a lot of cops don't even understand that the stuff in CSI is just fake Hollywood magic.

    Less boring than two weeks ago, when the new item was a bundle of the first four parts of SSA1. Coyote Run is actually kind of neat, and sales on Beast Run and Ninja Run bring them down more in line with the price they should have been to begin with (i.e., no more than $5).

    It'd be nice to have sales on stuff I don't already own, though. Like storage upgrades! Oh lord, I'm going to be in so much financial trouble when storage upgrades go on sale...
  6. Tuesday! New Stuffs!

    Today we see the release of the Coyote Travel Power... Awoooooooo~! It's 600 PP, and like Rocket Board and Magic Carpet, it restricts the use of your other powers.

    We also have a sale on Ninja Run and Beast Run, both 25% off their normal price points for a cost of 375 PP each.

    EDIT: Spreadsheet and OP have been updated. Now, if you'll excuse me... it's almost 5:00 AM and I should really be getting to bed.
  7. I don't usually enter these types of contests, but it just so happens that I have something appropriate already in the stables, so I've made a copy on Virtue. See you Friday!
  8. There seems to be a Masssive misspelling in the thread title... >_>

    Actually, it turns out that was cuz I never visited the contact after finishing the last mish of SSA1:5.
  10. Just to note, I do like dropping my Patron Pet to hold aggro while I'm setting up an attack chain.

    (The Night Widow I have on loan from Ghost Widow's squad, Ingrid, is not as big a fan of this tactic as I am.)

    Just got the last two nightmares I needed from MoM tonight. Done until the Spring Fling or i22, whichever comes first.
  12. Download the file to your desktop instead of your temp folder.

    If you're on Windows Vista or Win 7, right click on the installer and choose "Run as Administrator," just to be safe. (If you're on XP, then just double-clicking should be enough.)

  14. Miranda, which one of these images does your downloader look most like?

    OLD COH LAUNCHER:


    (If it looks like the second one, then you're running the WRONG INSTALLER. That version hasn't worked since the summer.)

    If my understanding is correct, it wasn't the IoPs that were bugged, but the original Cathedral of Pain trial itself. There was apparently a bug that allowed you to get from level 1 to 50 in under an hour by repeating a "visit contact" mission.

    Note that you no longer get any XP, drops, or other rewards at all outside of those for actually completing the trial in the current incarnation of the CoP trial.

    It actually took 15 tries, yes. Sarrate joined us for the last run and kicked the TF's *** though.

    Max, a super-powered German Shepherd puppy of some renown, has finally escaped the watchful eye of his mother, and upon hearing that there are strange happenings in Dark Astoria, goes there to explore! As he left the Doghouse of Justice, Max made sure he had his cape/bath towel and trusty Bone of Liberty. Max had overheard the two-leggeds talking, and it sounded like there was something juicy buried in Dark Astoria, just waiting for a super dog to dig it up! When he arrived, Max ran around in circles, yapping with excitement at all of the wonderful new smells, especially... BONE! Following his nose, Max soon found two large bones, which a strange man was using to pound on a big drum. Max hoped the strange man would play some "toss", but the strange man only pounded the drums slowly. Suddenly Max heard a cry for help and dashed off to investigate. Max quickly pivoted on all fours and, after briefly making a pointing pose, dashed off in the direction of the call.
    Using his ridiculous puppy super speed, he arrived at the scene of the distress: the famed dog actress Paulina Poodle was being chased by a group of crazed-looking, glowing-chested muscle men wearing only their underpants and grass skirts on their feet!

    No alternate means at launch, you mean. Which is exactly what they said during the first wave of feedback after the last Player Summit.
  24. Much as I'd love to, A) I still haven't found a job yet, so I can't afford it, and B) it'd cost me $500 just to fly there and back.
