Fleeting Whisper

Too late!

This just means that the newer games you're playing are less resource intensive than CoH is. Despite its age, CoH actually does quite a bit.

I think the simplest change you can make to improve your experience would be to increase your RAM. Increasing from 1G to 2G should make a world of difference.

An internet friend will tell the forum you'll be "away" for a few months for "personal reasons".
A friend will bail you out of jail.
A real friend will be in the cell next to you.

What if the Blaster is invisible and standing right next to the target before using Inferno?

Shivans invading Atlas Park is also canon. So is Manticore hooking up with Recluse, and Marchand remaining president for 70 years. When in Ouroboros, just assume everything is wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.

You can still post the screenshot

CLUE!
You heard some other heroes asking around for people to help with a task Statesman assigned to them. You followed the heroes to Independence Port, only to find Statesman standing there, unharmed! Mystery solved!

Did you pre-order, or did you pre-purchase? Pre-purchase players were the ones with access to Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols months in advance. If you pre-purchased, you should already have GR on your account, no need to do anything.

If you pre-ordered, you would have done so from a third-party retailer (NCSoft only did pre-purchases), and you would have to pick up the box from the store, or have it delivered to you.

Good point, it does allow up to 24 characters. CoP slipped my mind since it had been dead and buried until now (and I never tested it in beta).

You purchased Going Rogue. Whether you purchased it before the release or not, it doesn't matter. Purchasing Going Rogue gives you access to Going Rogue content. Going Rogue costs $29.99, unless a retailer chooses to sell it for a lower price.

The item pack which you are complaining about contains extra goodies which are included in Going Rogue Complete Collection. This is a different product which costs an additional $10. It is an extremely common practice to release a game, along with a collector's edition version of the game containing more stuff; the collector's version is invariably more expensive (it gives you more than the basic product), though the price difference varies.

Not only is it a common practice, but NCSoft did the same thing for the original release and the CoV release. You can purchase City of Heroes... or you can purchase City of Heroes Collector's Edition (contains a Statesman HeroClix figure, map of Paragon City, a 16-page comic, videos from the CoH Film Festival, Prestige Power Slide access, Cape of the Four Winds access, and the V.I.P/Destined One badge). You can purchase City of Villains... or you can purchase City of Villains Collector's edition (contains Statesman, Manticore, Positron, Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow, Black Scorpion, and Mako HeroClix figures [different Statesman from CoH CE], CoH/CoV art book, a two-sided poster with a map of the Rogue Isles and a Heroes vs. Villains fight, and an Arachnos chest symbol [different from the veteran reward chest symbol]).


Going Rogue has the same thing going on. Fortunately, like Good vs. Evil edition, NCSoft has decided to make the in-game items from GR CC purchaseable separately for those players who did not purchase the Complete Collection. (The GvE item pack doesn't require GvE, though, unlike the GR item pack.)



Now, what you should really be complaining about are the people like me, who pre-ordered GR CC from GameStop. Not only did I get the month of playtime added to my account ($15) and the in-game items ($7), I also got the Desdemona themed Razer Sphex ($15 for a normal Razer Sphex, possibly more for the special design), $5 coupon for the Razer store, and 5 special enhancements on every new character I make from now to eternity. That's $37 worth of stuff aside from GR access, plus a $5 coupon, plus in-game stuff that even the item pack NCSoft is selling you doesn't include. All for a promotion that wasn't announced until after the pre-purchase process was opened. That's something to complain about. Unfortunately, you've kinda missed the boat on complaining about that subject, since most people did that flaming when the GameStop promotion was announced. Now people have moved on to how terrible GameStop has been delivering on their pre-order promotion promises, but it seems they're just taking they're time.

And then half the PvPers would see you anyway, with the +per they given themselves.

Marcian, you're great and all, but you don't make the cut for my friends on Facebook. My Facebook friends list includes my family, my gaming group, friends from high school and college, exchange students our family has hosted, and friends of the family.

But don't feel bad. I can get pretty chummy with some members of the Repeat Offenders, but none of them make the cut either.

My general rule: If I haven't met you, you don't make it. And I've ignored a fair number of friend requests from people I have met, too. (As a great example, the chick who accepted my buddy's marriage proposal, and then cut it off to go date some other guy a month later. She tried to friend me, and got denied.)

Castle laws exist in more than just Texas. In fact, some version of the same law applies in (according to Wikipedia): Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming

Also according to the wiki, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington are considering adopting their own castle laws.

What he said. The only reason I have a Facebook account at all was to look up a friend's email address which was hidden to anonymous visitors. The only reason my page has any information on it is because my mother asked me to, so that she could set me as a 'son' relationship. And I've got pretty much everything either disabled, or hidden from everyone but friends. And the only friends I've got are actual friends, who I know and speak to in real life.

And the only actual use I've gotten out of Facebook was to inform another friend when his email account was hijacked by a spambot.

I'm just saying there's precedent.

When I team with someone, their name appears in a window titled "Pets" :3

You don't want to drop the Television. Television is your friend.

The target bent over to tie their shoes just as you swung your knife.

They do have the means to make part of a power autohit in specific situations. Devices.Smoke Grenade's -perception is autohit, but the -tohit is not. Several powers are autohit in PvE, but not in PvP. The Taunt effect in Tanker/Brute attacks depends on the attack itself hitting in PvE, but against a raid target such as Hamidon, the Taunt effect hits at -20% compared to the rest of the attack.

On my wall, I've got the Paragon City map from CoH CE, the Rogue Isles map from CoV CE, the villains vs. heroes poster from GvE, and now the map of Praetoria from GR CC. (The old maps weren't updated )

I tried getting a picture of my collection with my phone, but the camera is crap. I dug around the house to find my camera (which I... never use), but I neither have a memcard I can find, nor the cable to move stuff from the camera's internal memory. Frustrating.
