i put it in combat jumping. It's providing no benefit with CJ toggled on or off.

EDIT: This is fixed as of the 9/27/2011 patch


So I bought a Karma knockback protection enhancement from the Paragon Market. I slotted it, but I'm getting zero points of knockback protection according to my combat attributes monitor. It's also pretty obvious as my character flops around on the ground.

Known issue? Being worked on?

$1.25 for knockback protection is worth it to me, if it worked.

I'm apprehensive about purchasing other enhancements when this one doesn't work at all.

FYI: I also posted this in the regular bug forum. Didn't realize there was a special forum for I21 bugs.

Awesome stuff. Thanks Chad!

I think he meant this:

Speaking of videos from the early days: E3 2002 demo video

• It's narrated by Jack Emmert. He refers to "Rick" controlling the character. I wonder if it was Rick Dakan, the original lead developer and author of the Blue King comics.
  
• Where's my statue? And my money?
  
• It's funny to see the character going down all of those stairs and two sets of doors just to leave the hospital.
  
• Check out that UI. I realize it was an alpha or pre-alpha build, but whew, I'm sure glad they overhauled it.

It was a blast. Thanks Arky.

It's tonight!

Less than two hours away.

I remember this day.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cryptic Studios Announces Massively Multiplayer
Online Role-Playing Game, "City of Heroes"

Comic-Book Style Adventure Filled with Superheroes and
Fearsome Villains to Release in Summer of 2002

San Jose, CA - September 26, 2001 - Cryptic Studios proudly announces "City of Heroes," a massively multiplayer online world home to an entire universe of super-powered, comic book style adventure. When the game releases next summer, thousands of players can take on the roles of superheroes, fight villains, and help create the story in a stunning, 3D graphical world, courtesy of the San Jose-based developer.

Super Powered Action and Adventure

City of Heroes is the first superhero themed online RPG and will offer a host of exciting and compelling gameplay features. Players create their own heroes, choosing from hundreds of different powers, skills, abilities, and items and design their own unique costumes. Then they can band together with other players to fight evil, build their own secret headquarters and strive to become the premiere hero group in the city.

Gamers will confront super villains, aliens, madmen, monsters, criminals, and other fearsome foes. They can take on personalized missions and rid the city of dozens of different evil organizations and hundreds of individual enemies. With success players acquire power, wealth, and fame and come to bask in the spotlight and rake in the rewards as their powers and fame grow with each successful mission and every defeated foe.

City of Heroes takes place amongst the skyscrapers, slums, sewers and streets of Paragon City, a sprawling online metropolis that offers unlimited adventure and countless surprises. Players become an integral part of many and varied different ongoing story arcs as the villain groups menace Paragon City and react to player victories and defeats.

"With City of Heroes we're bringing a new and exciting genre to online gaming: the world of superheroes," says lead designer Richard Dakan. "We've designed this game to not only capture the excitement of comic book heroes but to offer a unique gaming experience. With this game you can literally 'become your own hero.' Players can not only design their very own superheroes from the ground up, but they can have a direct impact on what happens to the city they live in."

Cryptic Studios plans to release City of Heroes in the summer of 2002. For a gameplay movie, screenshots, and additional game information check out the City of Heroes Web site at www.CityofHeroes.com.

Fun! And on my day off so I should be able to make it.

Thank goodness they sent him home.

A war zone is no place for a summer vacation, even if he's a wanna be soldier. In fact, his lack of training would make him a hazard to even the poorly trained Libyan rebels.

I live in Decatur. I'd be up for a meet and greet in the evening next year.
