Fought him and beat him, solo, on all of my 50s, including a level boosted SO only DP/Mental Blaster on the test server. Stocking up on purples help.

I doubt they'll trim too much for the film. A lot of how the finale unfolds depends heavily on Snape, and Alan Rickman was one of the first people Rowling told that Snape had been in love with Lily. Snape's love for Lily is pretty much the crux of his character; it's the reason he betrayed Voldemort, the reason he intensely dislikes Harry (who serves as a living reminder that Lily chose another man), and it's also the reason Dumbledore put his full faith and confidence in him, even to the point that he would ask Snape to kill him.

Everything freddiew makes is awesome. The rocket jump video remains the gold standard though.

I don't know if I'll see this, at least not right away. I'm waiting on The World's End, which will be the third and final chapter of the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy.

Sounds good. Time permitting, I'm in.

"He's a deeply religious Republican romance novelist from the 'hood. She's a disco-crazy renegade advertising executive with her own daytime radio talk show. They fight crime!"

Match made in heaven.

And this made me lol:

"He's a leather-clad pirate waffle chef with nothing left to lose. She's a mistrustful winged schoolgirl prone to fits of savage, blood-crazed rage. They fight crime!"

Clickie self-buffs (similar to Tank primary Tier 9s, but crashless)
Permanent buffs (similar to several stacked set bonuses)
AoE mez/debuff (sleep, hold, stun or confuse)
Omega might be some sort of uber toggle, adding everything from mez protection to unresistable damage procs.

An 8.8 magnitude quake hit the east coast of Japan a few hours ago and generated a massive tsunami that devastated the coast. Waves are moving towards the rest of the Pacific and a general warning was issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. Waves are expected to hit Hawaii around 3 AM local time. If you live near the coast get to high ground now. The waves that hit Japan were somewhere between 12 and 30 feet depending on news sources, but the footage shows an incomprehensible level of devastation.

What Alpha did you go with on your Fire/Dark? Just got mine to 50 and I'm torn between Cardiac and Spiritual.

If you're like me, you don't own a Steam copy of City of Heroes, but use Steam to launch the game and track when your friends are on. With a bit of experimentation, I was able to come up with a way to make Steam not only launch City of Heroes, but properly track when you're on and off-line.

You will need: Steam, the NCSoft Launcher, and City of Heroes, and a pound of bacon.


1) Open Steam, go to your library and click "Add Game" at the bottom left corner, then click "Add a non-Steam game". A list of installed programs will pop up. Ignore them and click "Browse". Navigate to the launcher's folder (Default is C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSoft\Launcher) and select NCLauncher.exe. Now click "Add Selected Program". A link to NCLauncher should appear somewhere in your game list.

2) Now we have a link to the launcher on Steam, but we don't want it to open the launcher, we want it to launch the game. Right click on NCLauncher and select "Properties". You should see this, depending on what folder the launcher was installed in:



You can change the name (recommended) and the icon, but the most critical change to make is to the target. At the end of the last quotation mark, hit space and type

/LaunchGame=CityOfHeroes

[You can also substitute 'CoHTest' and 'CoHBeta' for 'CityOfHeroes' if you want links to the Test and Beta servers, respectively]

You should now see:



3) Now we have a link in our Steam library that will open the launcher if it isn't already active and launch the game, but getting this to work with Steam's definition of 'in-game' requires making a change to the behavior of the launcher (if you followed Hyperstrike's launcher guide you can ignore this step). Open the launcher and click File->Settings. Under the "General" tab, where it says "After launching a game", select "Exit Launcher".

Now, if you've done all this, clicking the link in your Steam library should 1) start the launcher, then 2) launch the game and then 3) close the launcher. You should be able to access the Steam interface in-game, receive notifications of when your friends are online AND Steam will properly notify your friends that you're playing City of Heroes. Now cook up that bacon and enjoy life.
