  1. My desktop background cycles through various Exalted desktops. Currently I've got a big picture of Madam Vert (part hot chick, part tree-dwelling velociraptor); also in the circulation is a cover drawn by Hyung-tae Kim. (He's currently working on NCSoft's Blade & Soul, so you can guess what sort of artwork I'm talking about.)
  2. This thread is good luck. I received my emailed code while reading it!
  3. Codes for online pre-orders were supposed to be emailed. I've basically been harassing GameStop over email for the past couple days trying to get everything sorted, and this is my most recent response from them:

    Quote:
    We do apologize with regards to the Enhancement code, however we have not received this item from the manufacturer for distribution. We are attempting to contact our vendors in order to try to get this code so we may issue them to our customers. We only ask that you please be patient until this matter can be resolved.
  4. Also, I don't think either of those maps have ever been updated

    There are currently only two 'raid' style encounters: Hamidon, and the Rikti Mothership.

    Hamidon is a gigantic... cell... whose nucleus and mitochondria all shoot exploding laser beams. The zone where you fight him gets capped at 50 characters, but you can beat him with fewer. Defeating Hamidon awards you a special enhancement ("Hamidon Origin" enhancements). However, you can also purchase HOs on the market, or you can take a single team and run the Statesman Task Force or the Lord Recluse Strike Force, and get a Synthetic Hamidon Origin enhancement. SHOs give the same benefit as HOs. There's also a badge in the zone where you fight Hamidon, but you can grab the badge when Hami isn't there.

    In the Rikti War Zone, you can get a group together to assault the Rikti Mothership. If you're skilled and coordinated, you can do it with just two teams, but it normally takes 3 or more. The Mothership raid rewards you with boatloads of Vanguard merits, which are used to purchase costume pieces and temporary powers at the Vanguard base in the RWZ.

    Yes, Psi/EM would generally be Psychic Blast/Energy Manipulation Blaster. Electric Maniuplation would usually be ElM or Elec in order to distinguish it from EM.

    Oh I know, there's that scene where Mickey Rourke's character tells a sad story and sheds some manly tears when only the audience can see his face.
    There's also a poem! Written by a man! For another man!

    Okay, so the poem ends with a knife flying through the air, but still... poetry!

    Such people wouldn't be eligible for an impartial jury, would they? They'd be altering the verdict to save their own skin.

    Just keep the page open in a tab and refresh it once per day for 10 days. That's enough. (And you max out at 5, which is 10 days, so no need to do it more.)

    There's nothing to distinguish it from just being a regular floating tray...
  13. HijackThis doesn't have formatting. If you don't like the line numbers, you can also use the "Raw" link at the top. I can understand wanting the formatting for the CoH helper, though, so here you go:

    Okay, I see the connection now. But the screenshot has nothing new in it...

    Vigilantism does not require deadly force. Spiderman hanging a criminal in front of the police department wouldn't be vigilantism (remove the spider web and the sticky note, and it's basically the same thing as a neighborhood watch), but Batman stalking down a criminal and beating them up would.
  17. Well, we do already have a Longbow EB in Nerva.

    No, we don't. You're very unclear about what you actually want.

    What level 50 slot? You have the opportunity to run costume missions at 20, 30, and 40. Soldiers of Arachnos are given another mission they can run at 10, and Halloween salvage can earn an additional slot for anyone at any level. (So, 5 total for non-Arachnos, 6 total for Arachnos. Of course, the user interface doesn't give you any means to modify your 6th slot.)

  22. Quick! bury the thread, so we all have better ods at winning with fewer people seeing the contest! >.>
  23. Didn't you know? Red means "stop" as in "this server has stopped". Freedom used to be there, but they shut it off now. Yellow means "slow down" as in "we're shutting this one down soon".

    Razer Naga

    What does the Razer Naga have to do with Going Rogue? It's just another expensive gaming mouse produced by Razer.

    Now, if you preordered Going Rogue Complete Collection from GameStop, you were supposed to get a Razer Sphex desktop skin (expensive gaming mousepad) with Desdemona on it. Of course, only some people have actually gotten theirs...
