Friday, do Katie Hannon on Pinnacle at 7pm e.s.t. on lvl 34 db/wp scrapper, switch to various alts after that time doing as many tf/sfs as possible.
Saturday Evening to Sunday login to tanker on protector, do Katie again, team for 3 hours, do katie again, team for 3 hours.

You can resist Placate....you resist it by cutting the effective time by half if I am not mistaken. SO instead of a full 10 second placate, it only works for 5 seconds on you.

[/ QUOTE ]

The desciption in the assult power states 'You are resistant to taunt and placate'. Not that you are slightly resistant to taunt and placate'

If you are resistant, then it mean it does not effect you in any shape or form, the way placate works just now is that it shorten the amount of time in half that placate would normally work on you.

So they should either change the wording or change the power to work as stated. It is really misleading.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, resistance means you the effect has a smaller effect on you, protection means it doesnt do anything to you. Like how intergration gives protection from sleep, holds, stuns, knockback, and immobilize but health gives you resistance to sleeps. You still get slept with health but the duration is shorter.

The music for when villains go to the trainer and level up. That tune is missing. Also the original City of Villains intro music is not in there. I know this got changed sometime after CoV went live, it was the same music that is in the CoV trailer during the fight with Recluese's guys and Statesman's crew.

Dude. ENOUGH already. You've expressed your displeasure that Bases aren't mentioned in LH's post. You've done so multiple times now. You're not helping yourself. You're just coming across as a whiny brat, and the odds are good that you're more likely to convince a developer to LOWER the priority of working on Bases, than to increase it!

Let it rest ... please!

[/ QUOTE ]
Dude you give it a rest, Bases are a legitimate concern that do need to be addressed. How else will devs know if we dont bring stuff up? Lastly who are you to tell us what we can and can not talk about in this thread?

[ QUOTE ]
Sounds great!

...

Now FIX THE DANG BASES!!! It's been long enough that certain SG logos don't display on the SG logo items, and the dang Rez Circle/Reclaimator (BTW, the word is "Reclamator") STILL won't allow attachments! PLEASE fix this! We worked our fingers off to get that Healing badge to increase the rez circle's ability. To have the Robo-Surgery not attach is basically a broken promise.

[/ QUOTE ]
How about making the Orbit of Control smaller so they fit in the 2x2 room like the tech equivalent of that base item. Or make the arcane tp beacons pictures more clear so you know what zone it is without having to click on it.

Second, I would like to ask that NCSoft also take some time to look at customer service. It's not horrendous, but its' not great either. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Ten times out of ten, if I report a violation of a Marvel copyright, that character is genericed. However, nine times out of ten, if it's not Marvel, it seems they don't care. I've reported a guy with a nearly exact copy of Spawn (by Todd McFarlane) three times now, he's still in the game with the same costume. I could give many other examples. Also, I'd like to see better logging and tracking of what goes on in the Consignment House/Black Market, because I've "lost" over 25 million due to glitches that customer service can't find any info in their logs, so they can't recompensate me.

Overall, I love City of Heroes, but like all games, it has it's problems, and for me the problem with City of Heroes is not up to par what I expect for a game I pay $15 a month to play. Also, I will again say, I am not saying customer service is horrendous, just that there needs to be some definite improvement (especially on the issue of only seeming to protect Marvel copyrights. While I understand Marvel is the company that sued NCSoft, if they don't fairly and consistently protect all trademark and copyright violations in their game, another company may sue, and if they can show inconsistency, a judge will not be nice to NCSoft a second time, and neither will the suing party.)


[/ QUOTE ] You have the nerve to say support is bad just because someone doesnt get genericed? How about all the petitions I have sent for missions where the mob is stuck in the wall and I dont get an answer ingame until 2 to 3 weeks later? All the task/strike forces I have had to disband because the gm help never shows up after 3 hour wait. Seriously your priorities are in the wrong place.

[ QUOTE ]
This does not resolve the inbalance of PVP, or should I say; The "Dominance" of the villains over the heroes. What is this fascination the devs have to make the villains stronger then the heroes?. For instance, I keep getting the beat down from Dominators (two usually can de activate my invulnerbility).

The problem I have is that, not all heroes have a choice as to their invulnerbility is willingly on or if they have to concentrate to turn it on. My hero is based on Superman, his invulnerbility is alway on, wither he likes it or not. If a dom immobilizes him, he's still invulnerble to physical and energy attacks, get it?

My suggestion is, either bring this kind of balance to the game or expect less heroes to pvp or just to bail the game all together.

Looks like someone had a run in with a kryptonite assualt dominator.

To play devil's advocate here: Real Numbers are meh. It'll help settle some arguments that are based around assuming certain values, as well as start new ones when people are able to compare exact values, but it is really only going to be the min/maxers or number freaks who care. I also hope the devs are ready for an onslaught of posts about how power X is so much better than power Y because the Real Numbers say so (and by devs, I mean Castle). Two weeks after Real Numbers come out and all the FOTM builds have been min/maxed to within an inch of their lives, no-one will care apart from numeriphiliacs.

[/ QUOTE ] I think you underestimate how huge this change is. I would have to say about 60 to 80% of the bad pick up group horror stories I have been in were due to key teammates having gimped builds. True enough the change will lead to more min/maxing but this whole thing is about making informed decisions and not that. I see way too many scrappers and tankers who skip their mez protection and get acrobatics and wonder why they still get put to sleep, or all the WP scrappers/tankers/brutes I have seen that skipped fast healing and instead went for health or skipped quick recovery to get stamina. Too many screwed up builds. This will help to curb alot of that.

Real Numbers will be awsome, finally something to help all the noobs with crippled builds finally to pick powers worthwhile and know what to enhance.

Seriously I do think this is one of those things that need to be changed. No one in their right mind slots any of these powers for actual toxic resistance because the amount the give is pretty low anyways. I dont think it will make anyone too uber if they changed these heals to accept those enhancements. I hope it is just a technical limitation and not a crazy balance decision as to why this still isnt resolved.

Have presents been changed for an automatic naughty if a zone is too low?

I ran around and got a dozen+ in AP this morning early, and got all naughties...

[/ QUOTE ]
I am getting this too, on my lowbie brute I have opened about 50 presents so far and all were naughty. I am about to give up on this. Also about 1/4 baby new year missions are not completeable. As soon as you exit the cave with him he just runs off into the forrest never to be seen or heard from again. This seriously needs to be check. I know my team reseted like twice and it still kept happening.

I thought strength of will was 120 seconds not 180? Might want to verify that, also you might want to put the willpower stats for brutes/tankers/scrappers other than that it is a great guide.

I love the script on this one. Silos's VA is also top notch here.

Great work!

The problem with putting the names out there by default means the damage is already done. Once your name is out there the spammers can get you. I would still rather not have to do this for some 100+ alts that I have.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you play all 100 of those alts regularly? Characters who haven't been logged in recently are excluded.

[/ QUOTE ]
It is account based not character base if I am not mistaken. That just like when they did the name purge, they did it based totally on if your account was active not if you had logged into each individual toon.

[ QUOTE ]
Your concern is understandable, and I doubt you'll be the last one voicing it. I'm mildly concerned myself, but ChaseArcanum's post up there somewhere was enough to convince me it won't help spammers much if at all.

[/ QUOTE ]
Lets just say they leave it where everything is on by default and every toon in the game is put online. By just browsing the site by server name they got everyone they could possibly spam on that server on a list now, they just take those and spam email like no tomorrow. That would be a hell of alot more people to spam because even the people who do /hide would be seen as well, not only that they could get everyone who has been online for the past 90 days. You cant tell me that doesnt concern you even the slightest?

I just want to say this, I dont want you all to think I am doom and gloom on this topic. I honestly think it is a great idea. Had we not had the issue of spammers I would be all for this kind of thing to show off CoX, but not giving spammers easier access has to be priority.

[ QUOTE ]
I would much rather all of this info to be disabled by default and only turned on when I turn it on for that toon. Otherwise we will all get spammed I dont see why no one is agreeing with me on this. Things are bad enough due to them taking a very slow approach to the whole spamming issue. All in favor of /ignore_spammer sending electric bolts thru the keyboards say Aye!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm...the features being discussed are not enabled, and we get spam anyway. What's the big panic about?

If it connects my characters to this site, that would be very cool. It'd make it easier to put names to faces, so to speak.

[/ QUOTE ]
We may still get spam now but I dont want to make it easier for them by putting all possible character names out there like that on this site. If they did this then it would only take spamming to the next level. I want the option disabled by default because like most people who have been here from the begining that is alot of alts you would have to go in and change their settings, by then it would be way too late because the name would already be recorded. Basically they got 2 options on this, make it set to default to off when the system launches or they need to address the spam issue before this goes live. Honestly I dont see them addressing the spam issue anytime soon.

if this is going to be something that reflects our stats on the website, I am against something like this as it just gives the RMT spammers something to work with especially if it is a friends list. I would feel horrible to subject friends to that spamming because I didnt click an option. If it strictly an in game thing then make the friends list non-viewable by default.

[/ QUOTE ]

We don't believe this will make it any easier for spammers to reach you.

Additionally, we are aware of the situation with in-game email spam and working to address the problem in a future version of the game.

[/ QUOTE ]Can you elaborate on this some because putting a giant list of all the names they could possibly spam all in one space seems like it will make it easier for them to spam us to me. If you can go into details as to what is going to be done in the future version of the game on that aspect I would feel more confortable about it, until then I am very skeptical because /ignore_spammer has not done jack for me as i am getting the same emails daily, RMT tells and it is even on toons I have not logged in for weeks at a time.

Lighthouse it would actually help if the options we are selecting are actually readable? Most of the lettering is all jumbled together whenever you try to read what those options are. It is like they put way too much text into that same space. I also have the same issue when listing all my powers on the in game ID card we get that shows are XP needed to level and amount of Inf.

[ QUOTE ]
It doesn't have to be one or the other. PvP can be developed without sacrificing PvE. I think there will be inprovements in both.

[/ QUOTE ]
Kinda like how they butchered so many pve powers for the sake of pvp?

First thing comes to mind is more character slots per server but if we ever go with a server-less setup then that ends up just being a wash in that end, we end up back at square one. My guess is an accolade or a prestige power. I doubt they would give us free time so most likely a power of some kind. I would love to get that rez power we got from the holiday event as that power. It totally pwnz Rise of the Phoenix because you actually have a period of time when you cant get hit.

Seriously this would be like them giving away all the collectors edition and good vs evil stuff that people paid for.

See vet rewards. They already did.

[/ QUOTE ]
Vet rewards were not stuff we paid for. For those prestige sprints that came with the pre-order codes the price of the pre-order is applied to your game so that doesnt count.
