Quote:Oh man, that's right. I had a similar incident as the OP earlier this year and lost that stuff, my unpublished MA arcs/characters, keybind files -- and worst of all, a metric pantload of screenshots.Originally Posted by Capa_Devans
Only things you will have lost are saved costumes/power colour customization unless you have them backed up.
The first time I heard this was in middle/high school (right when I was between them in fact) from a kid at summer camp. I tend to agree that most people* who are actually "offended" by it have no reason to be, but why take the chance?Quote:Originally Posted by Dispari
I've used "gypped" all my life and have never once heard anyone say it's offensive or most of all racist. I had to look it up with Google to see what the heck you were talking about. I'm not convinced anyone would be genuinely offended by its use.
*For the purposes of this discussion, "most people" stands for "middle-to-upper class white people". -

Aw DAMMIT >_< -
You don't need to purchase anything over again. You can just download the game, which includes everything, boosters included. What you have unlocked is determined by your account.
Here's the link to the game client. -

(d) You can, if you want, *already* get pets. The Summon Reinforcement temp power - which seems to go awfully cheap at the auction. The Shivan Shard, refillable as needed (and not that difficult - besides, most PVP zones are empty.) You'll have a chance on being given a Snowbeast over the winter event. Amy Johnson, the Rikti drone, the War Wolves and more are available as temp powers.

Quote:There's no graphical effect but IIRC you do get the "build-up" sound (that is, unless I'm completely off my nut, in which case disregard this post).Originally Posted by Katze
Also note you don't get a graphical effect to indicate build-up from the proc. Watch for the icon, or add "Healing Delivered" channel to your chat window and it will show the build-up [and +end proc] message in that channel.

The DCAU proper ended with JLU. From what I've read it sounds like Bruce Timm isn't really interested in picking it back up (not that he isn't proud of it, he just doesn't necessarily want to be restrained by its existing continuity).

Quote:I was going to mention set bonuses, but I just realized those bonuses are applied to each power, despite what the Combat Attributes window says.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
If we're going to split hairs tohit is an attribute that a character has, and accuracy is an attribute each attack has. You multiply your character's tohit by the power's accuracy. Two separate but closely related attributes.
Note to OP: See, ^this is how you admit you're wrong. -
Quote:This is your problem. The 75% base attribute people were talking about is ToHit, not Accuracy. Base Player Accuracy is 1.00.Originally Posted by Bad_Dog
The 75% player base accuracy you all brought up.

Quote:D'oh! I forgot about that. But still, if there are free transfers and you have at least 1 open character slot, you can do it for free.Originally Posted by Derangedpolygot

I think I sprained something reading the name "Epidirtmal Layer".

There actually is one sneaky option for changing your name, but it requires a server transfer (which you can purchase for $9.99, or sometimes they do short periods of free server transfers). The only caveat is that is requires you to have at least one character slot free before step 1 below (which you can also purchase if necessary, although by this point you need to be pretty desperate to change your name).
1. Transfer Dark Hunter off your home server.
2. Create a new character named Dark Hunter on your home server. (Occasionally there might be a delay in the server recognizing that the name has been freed up, but it should be almost immediate.)
3. Move the original Dark Hunter back to your home server. Because the name Dark Hunter is now taken by the new character you created, the original will be granted a free rename token.
4. Delete the second Dark Hunter (or keep it, whatever). -
Quote:But you have to be a Villain before you can be a Rogue, so you might as well start it once you hit Villain status.Originally Posted by Silverado
Or a Rogue.

All characters, whether starting hero, starting villain, or starting Praetorian, gain access to the epic power pools at level 41. In order to gain access to the Patron pools, however, one must complete the first story arc of one of the four Patrons (it doesn't matter which); this means you have to be a villain. For starting heroes, or Praetorians who go to Paragon City, this means fully crossing over to the Rogue Isles and completing the arc.

No you aren't. It's extremely irritating. I'm not sure since I don't have a DS mastermind, but I think it's the tier 2 or tier 3 pet(s) that do it. The timer on those noises needs to be changed to make them much less frequent.

Quote:I don't know if you know this but Smallville has actually copied a lot of stuff from comic books.Originally Posted by QuiJon
Oh just to further IMO show how weak and truely uninspired a crew of writers the show has, but hasnt this whole angle be done to death before? As in years ago with the "Mutant Registration Act" in x-men that had Magneto fighting against it with terrorism and charles fighting against it with heroes. Then recycled to the xmen movie, and then redone again pretty much in civil war cross overs......
Its just really guys? Super Powers needing to register with the government......and no one in that room went" you know marvel has been doing this story line for decades." -

All the devs need to do is go to the websites and purchase a couple dollars worth of influence.

I'm shocked to learn that the game even still has spammers. I haven't heard a peep from them in at least a year or two.

Not my first, but my two fastest 50s were a DB/WP Brute and a Thugs/Pain MM.
-
My hero main is also Elec^3, so yeah the "purple" (I always saw it as blue but I have some colorblindness) electricity does bug me a bit, but not enough to stop playing him (the fact that he was level 50 long before Power Customization might help that fact). I'm definitely eager for Ancillary Pool Customization, but we're never going to get Patron Pool Customization, and that makes my Dark/Dark/Soul Brute a sad demonic panda.

Quote:Please note that I never said "improved graphics are always bad", which seems to be what you took my point to be. I'm just saying that as far as CoH goes, certain "improvements" like eyebrows and such would be a waste of time (IMO) because you almost never see that part of the character. I certainly would be in favor of some improvements, like giving us actual fingers instead of mittens for hands. I would LOVE for the body sliders to get a revamp, at least so we can know exactly what dimensions our characters are set to besides "slightly to the left of the center of the slider well wait maybe that is the center it's hard to tell anyway I'm going to move it to the right a bit and see what happens".Originally Posted by Lothic
Things like "customized eyebrows" are eventually going to be in all games whether you use them or not so it's not really a matter of any particular set of Devs of any given game wasting time on it. Your original "point" was pretty much akin to someone who loved black-n-white TV saying that adding color to it would be pointless. The color might not be -necessary- but it certainly makes it better.
My point was that while character creation engine improvements are nice, I wouldn't want to see too many resources diverted to it for the sake of creating the most realistic character possible when those resources might be better spent on the graphics in other areas of the game -- at least for City of Heroes. And to echo what another poster or two have said, I personally find that level of detail to be too much when creating a character; I would be okay with face "presets" and then tweaking from there, but just giving me all those options and saying "go put it together yourself" paralyzes me. -
Quote:That wasn't my point at all but enjoy your strawman.Originally Posted by Lothic
Again I won't argue that this kind of detail will (or even should) appeal to everyone.
But you can say the same thing about almost any other functional area of this game:
Some people don't see the point of Markets when they never bother to craft anything.
Some people don't see the point of the PvP zones when they never PvP.
Some people couldn't care less about actively obtaining badges in this game.
and so on...
Computer graphics have been steadily increasing the realism of character appearances in games for decades now - why would anyone seriously speak out against any aspect of that no matter how trivial? With statements such as yours it sounds like you'd be fine with Atari 2600 levels of detail in this game.

...And a bogus totally media-made myth with not a single one of the explanations given for it standing up to any scrutiny. Of course, that virtually guarantees that it'll catch on in America as bible truth.

Quote:I don't really see the point in customizing the eyebrows of a character whose face you won't even see 90% of the time.Originally Posted by Lothic
Clearly that sounds like kind of a waste for EVE.
On the other hand it sounds like it'd be much more applicable for CoH.
