Dinah Might

Sept 1st has come and gone.

Was there a mass exodus as predicted?

Wow. Took you this long? The guy has been gone for months. Not that great of an achievement since they ain't around anymore.

It is like saying I beat a dead guy at Ping Pong.

I prefer the term "Retro"

Game Pet Peeve:

Really really really bad costumes. on people who think their costume is great. I mean WAYYYYY past subjective and more into "Are you frak'en serious?"

Forum Pet Peeve:

People who feel it necessary to get other people to stop fighting. Seriously, let them fight it out. It is the only way things will get resolved. Plus it provides me entertainment.

I have never understood the purpose of these suggested raid costume beyond "Ease to identify your role at a raid", and I assume the thread keeps getting bumped due to nostalgia.

One of the items that happened at raids that often confused me was the direction to "turn off powers (such as shields*) or wear simple uniforms to reduce lag. But I often thought "Costume data is saved on my computer, why would it cause lag?"

Recently in one of the suggestion threads, a poster claimed they didn't like power customization due to the lag it would add which prompted responses such as:

- All rendering is done on the client. The additional bandwidth usage would be miniscule.
I'm glad someone else finally said this to be clear.

- Power customization is just a form of costume data. The suggestion that the bandwidth will crush folks connections and that we should be able to shut it off to prevent that sounds as inane as saying "costumes are too elaborate and take up too much bandwidth, therefore, folks on slower computers should only see default gloves and boots on all other characters." Makes zero sense.

- Bandwidth is based on your connection speed and has nothing to do with a slow pc. At. All. I assume you mean rendering speed that has nothing to do with your connection, based on cpu and gpu specs. At most, the power colors would probably equal two bytes, or two digits.

So I want to know

a) Did these costumes ACTUALLY help? and can someone explain in laymens terms HOW.

b) If so, The costumes COULD have been simplified even further (example Plain Tights, single colour) Why were they designed in such a way to include patterns and texture?

Now i don't mean to "call anyone out" or insult Upsen Downs by this post, I just want help understanding WHY we have been doing what we are doing.






* I understand Hami's damage will not be reduced by shields

Have you tried saving to desktop and then using Windows Explorer to copy file to the Costumes sbudirectory?

and this thread takes a turn for the worst

Back when Level Pacting was first introduced into the game, we all rushed to Pact with someone so we can take advantage of the new system.

I level pacted with Si.

Problem is, I forgot.

So my character who sat in Atlas Park, and never left the zone, dinged 50 sometime last night.

Seriously. Si leveled her character to 50 with my character going along for the ride!

So now I feel guilty. What should I do for Si to repay her?

Concept wise as well as versatility, you can't go wrong with Super Strength and Invunerability. It will always be my favorite.

I have a questions:

If you have been muscled out of the account how can you trade the names? or are you offering trade names of the second account?

I got my second "Dinah Might" to 50. As much as that is a good accomplishment, I'm sad to put my "main" to bed again.

I got my villains Titanna and Joy Ride both to 25.

I am quite certain that Si's point to her post was that a thread like this calls attention to someones issue with, not her group, but it is pointing out an issue with the other group.

/getglobalname Cherry

Ancient Chinese Secret relieved!

Week 1 of City of Heroes I had the name "Steel Orchid" for a katana/regen Scrapper. I deleted her and lost the name.

She may return!

@Dinah Might

- Road Hog ss/wp Brute - Level 50
- Joy Ride thug/pd Mastermind - Level 10(ish)
- Wildflower claws/wp Stalker - Level 25 (ish)
- Jessica Troy fire/storm Corrupter - Level 35 (ish)

Cheers mate!

Is Orchid no longer up for trade?

I remember a long time ago I referred to a certain website that would show a picture of what each power looked like. If you wanted to know what Moonbeam or Gloom looked like from the Dark Blast set, you could. But for the life of me I can't remember what site it was!

With the upcoming changes to the game that allows you to re-colour your powers, I wanted to take a look at the available graphics of each of the powers to see which ones, when coloured, looks mostly like what I had in mind.

Can anyone refer me to a site that shows a gallery of the powers from each set?
