    You can now edit your last post to avoid double posting, unless you are going for forum post count, which you are safer doing in the fun and games section.

    What about the jailbird badge?

    Can the devs create an instance to obtain that badge temporarily access it on our older toons?
    All going to be available from the level 14 Oroboros

    Yup can either use the NCLauncher to select the game or use the launcher to set desktop icons for each, drag em into your games start menu and insta load each version via the launcher, patching on the way through, tip tho check the guide thread...


    I use the launcher itself to organize the patches and the per game (live/test/beta) icons to jump straight from the start menu to the selected version.

    Start -> Run

    For 32 bit: "C:\Program Files\NCsoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe" /LaunchGame=CohBeta

    For 64 bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\NCsoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe" /LaunchGame=CohBeta


    These will start the NCLauncher with the Beta server selected for install, then just click "Install Now" if you need to.

    Oh and BTW people, the NClauncher will background download/update really SLOWLY, if you select the one that is downloading/patching and select "Update" it will actually do it quicker!

    You aren't letting it background trickle download are you?
    Select it and hit "Update" where the "Play" button usually is, it patches a lot quicker then

    BAF Trial Crashes

    POST-ACTION

    Could be a clash with MM Pet controls and Incarnate Lore Pet controls, especially as they use the same system but are for most AT's Pet control exclusive.

    Would be worth pm'ing the rednames to look into tbh.

    Q: If I am a subscriber now, what will happen to my account if I choose to become a Free player when City of Heroes Freedom launches?
    A: Current City of Heroes subscribers who choose to become Free players will retain access to tons of content, however some Issue content will be reserved for VIP players, including Power Sets, Costume Sets, etc. One notable difference is that Free players will be limited to two character slots total, plus any character slots directly purchased or earned through Veteran Rewards. All existing characters will be saved and reenabled if a player subscribes as a VIP player.
    View the Free and Premium player benefits in the Freedom player choice side-by-side comparison.
    Quote:
    Premium Players
    1. Super Groups: Can join
    (Note: You have already created it.)

    2. Character Slots: 2 total, plus slots that were unlocked or directly purchased
    (Notes: 2 + 2 if you bought or buy GR + 1 per Veteran/Year + Any bought or promotional bonus slots.
    You will not lose any characters but they will be locked out until you have bought/earned access to that AT type (Controllers and MM's) and used a slot token to unlock that slot, so you can pick which characters on which servers to unlock.
    The tokens are global, they are basically removing the automatic unlock of the initial 12 slots per server, and upping the VIP subscribers slot limit to 48.
    Any and all existing characters will NOT be deleted, just grayed out until unlocked.)

    3. In-Game Mail: Included
    (Notes: Returning players who are non subscribers are automatically Premium Players.)

    4. Auction House Use: Limited
    (Note: Most likely Direct Buy/Sell limitation
    It is highly likely that stored items will be retrievable but not replaceable, like the now ancient base storage changes that left some storage overfilled.
    Full usage MAY be unlockable.)

    However please be aware that all the above and i21 information currently known is:
    *Subject to change by launch.

    Run the installer again as per section 4, it should then patch CoH to work with the NCLauncher you just installed.

    CoHTest and CoHBeta options are for access to the Test and Beta servers respectively (by installing additional game clients), these are not required to play CoH on the Live servers.

    If you need the NCLauncher on it's own try: http://us.ncsoft.com/en/launcher/ncsoft-launcher.html

    I WANT FREEDOM

    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, so you best not take it.

    I've been waitin' for such, such a long, long time
    To tell you all about these feelings of mine
    Something tells me there just has to be a better day
    And that's why I came here to say ...

    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, so you best not take it.

    Growing up, I was free in my childhood years
    And now they tell me I can wash away my tears
    These tears explain the way, it's the way that I feel
    Because the freedom they give me is real.

    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, so you best not take it.

    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
    Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
    I can't take it, so you best not take it.

    I want freedom, the kind that they promised me
    Just for livin' in this country.
    I want the freedom, the kind that makes me feel strong
    But, let me tell you, something is wrong.

    New launcher old game yes?

    Check out the section for patching the old game to the launcher here:

    Section 4 specifically if you have the new NCLauncher and the game is still refusing to update.

    Can the EU Players at least get a 1 year sub?
    Atm we are limited to 6 months max.

    And Zwill in one of the older ustream coffee talks...
    You said: "No Preatorian EAT's as Praetoria doesn't go up to level 50"
    Well the Khelds and SoA EAT's have been dropped from a level 50 to level 20 unlock, so technically as Praetoria pre i21 goes up to level 20, there is no reason there could not be Praetorian EAT's.

    Erm, just to mention City Hall in CoH:Freedom is a 2 story building, and they are revamping Atlas...

    Take a look at the above linked vid from 2:42 onwards...

    The buildings look similar to the gfx used in Praetoria, City Hall is 2 stories...
    I wonder if the Atlas Statue has a hollow globe again?

    If so CoH:Freedom has gone retro... (Promo CGI now ingame art!)
  23. Coolio
    Uh oh, Coolio's got another idea...

    Glow Tech Chest Emblems, similar to the flat plain ones but with glow FX,
    some could potentially be animated too as per the Victoriana aura.

    They could possibly use the pre-existing dual color patterns for the flat chest emblems too.

    Storyline to continue from where they left off 20 years ago, character designs updated to the newer movie versions.

    (Part drawn by a UK comic artist.)

    I hope he's not disappointed when exactly zero of his suggestions make it into the game...
    QFT - Copyright issues.

    But I also hope the Devs take a look anyway as they may get ideas for non copyrighted variations.
