  2. The Merits sounds great. Although, how in the world can you award them when they can't be traded?

    I do find players to be less nice when playing redside. Kinda shaped by the immersion. Still, not one would invite? What blorks!
  4. Another nice command: /target_name

    I bind R "target_name Sapper$$target_name Cairn". These two particularly annoying enemies that can be difficult to <Tab> to in a big group.

    Usually CAPS are used to disguise substitutions(Zero for "o", a lowercase L as a capital i)

    One trick I do from time to time is add a title(Mister, missus, Ms, Doctor). They can be abbreviated, and "Mr" and "Ms" can be used with or without a period(a period denoting married status).
  6. A long time ago the "tell chime" stopped sounding for tells received, and only sounds when you send one.

    I'd bugged it many, many times. It's never been fixed.

    ...or the one....

    KHAAAANNN!!!

    Thanks guys.
    Even now that the event is over, I still have server lockup at WW.
  10. Recovery buffs still work on pets; Recharge buffs no longer have any effect on pets(and apparently recharge DEbuff has no effect either.)

    Way WAY too high a cost. Considering Lord Winter is worth only 20 canes, one would have to grind away for hours to get anywhere close to FIVE HUNDRED.

    The grinding has always been the worst part of any winter event. (I can't bear to run the baby new year mission anymore.)
  12. No Pic, because it doesn't exist in handheld form (as far as I know).

    Gauss Pistol. Glowie mapping would look nice too(even though gauss would have any)

    Every now and then, it has to be done... not sure why.
    It does?

    Air Walking....That'd be pretty cool.

    Yeah, I know you're not even hinting at hinting. Just saying, an windwalker would fit a Storm-based toon. (Provided Fly will even get get alternate animations in pool customization)

    Fixed a bug with stunned enemies playing the Walk animation rather than the normal dizzy walk
    Also had nothing to do with the Walk toggle, but actually traces it's roots back to trying to make emotes work in combat mode. Try wrappin your noggin around that. Hah!
    give me a moment...

    yup, almost there...

    The issue with epic archetypes is the powers come from the same fictional source, function in the same ways, and presumably should look the same. This is somewhat true of patron powers as well, where the powers are boons granted by a particular patron and aren't really a power of the player character. We haven't made any firm decisions to do or not do customization for Epic Archetypes or patron powers. Ancillary powers is perfectly reasonable, but we wouldn't be able to do those without doing patron powers at the same time...even though we hate villains.

    All of them would happen after Pool power customization, and that isn't likely to happen anytime before Going Rogue gets wrapped up (requires tech and UI work).
    AGH! I hate, hate, HATE the Red Lightning!

    I've spec'd out Patron powers on my Elec brute because of how bad it looks.

    A Vigilante (Rogue) can travel to the Rogue Isles (Paragon City), and can team up with the Villains (Heroes) there. They can not use the markets while they are there however. They must be a full Villain (Hero) to use the markets.
    Does this mean vigilante/rogue cannot even use their original Market? (vigilantes can't use WW, rogues can't use BM?) If so, it really detracts from the gaming experience to go rogue.

    Since everyone loved my last bug explanation:

    Level capped experience being converted into influence was broken because of an off by one error. (49 is never >= to 50)

    Exemplaring converting experience into influence was broken because the experience was being added to influence before influence was being set (note these lines were a lot further apart):
    Influence += Reward->Experience;
    Influence = Reward->Influence;
    GiveInfluence( Player, Influence );

    Ow...my Brain...

    /SD Weakness?

    No heal. Yes the tier9 grants extra heal, but no extra heal component with it. IT is also a end heavy set. With Body Mastery: Conserve Power and the new Physical Perfection, it's not so bad.

    Wow...

    To customize Pets required an astonishing amount of work and would have delayed i16 possibly months. Not only would it detail coloring pets, but coloring each attack power each one has. Not to mention each player want to make their pets look unique to everyone elses (making Bots look like Golems, Making an all Female Thugs group)

    More is coming, but it's great they released what they had accomplsihed versus leaving us waiting even longer. More is coming. Pool Powers are next on the list. I had long given up on Power customization long ago, and am thrilled it's happened!
