And a Praetorian hasn't made that choice yet." It goes on from there to discuss how Praetorians work. It says nothing at all about "new accounts can only start in Praetoria" which is what Frosty's talking about.
    I assumed that he misspoke and meant new characters made in Praetoria. We'll have to wait till he returns to see if my assumption was correct.

    Good to hear that you're not going to self destruct. As fascinating as it is to watch someone do that (like watching a car crash), I still miss the people once their gone.

    I missed City-Life so much I made an homage character of his forum personality.

    If it's just for aesthetics, why not?
    (Since Sam and others have already addressed the technical issues on why this is a bad idea)

    I don't see a compelling reason for it. We all have character concepts that don't fit into the game mechanics. That doesn't mean the devs should waste time and money on useless projects that at best result in a very minor QoL for a small subsection of the player base.

    If it's just for aesthetics, why bother?

    The Dev ViDoc #2 at 2:30.

    ViDoc #2

    Praetorians are neutral and have to go thru the first 20 levels making choices which will determine if they will become heroes or villains. Only heroes will have access to Paragon City, and only Villains will have access to the Rogue Isles. If they want to cross over then they'll need to go thru the fallen/redemption stuff or whatever that's called.
  5. If the OP is bothered by the rules violation then he should file a petition like he's supposed to and move on. Let the GM's handle it and issue rules warnings. If the clown persists he'll end up getting banned.


    It doesn't do any good to confront the individual in question. The ones that would be grateful for the warning are few and far between. The rest know exactly what they are doing and will respond negatively when the issue is brought up.

    Complaining about it on the forums will draw the trolls out of the woodwork and you'll get called a tattle tail and other such grade school names.

    It's like.... magic!

    Same here.

    Agge, if I may, I would like to politely ask on behalf of my fragile male ego if you could refrain from calling our characters "dolls" and instead use the the more manly term "action figures". I find the your accurate terminology disturbs my calm when I realize that using the costume creator I'm basically playing "dress up" with my Ken and Barbies.

    No free rides! They have to be held to the same academic standards as other colleges. Big rocks no pass tests, big rocks no play ball.

    Why?

    Seriously, if every one of those day jobs you listed are already on the forum, why put them up here again?
    Before he posted them here, he first posted them in another persons thread.

    New Daytime Jobs

    All he's doing is reposting a list of names and places. He isn't making any effort to see if any already exist or overlap, He doesn't seem to be aware that earning a day job badge has an in game effect, or that when combined with other day job badges they form accolades that have an additional in game effect.

    Until he gets his act together, does the research and posts something more than a list of names and locations this is a colossal waste of time.

    The OP needs to do a little research on what day jobs already exist so he doesn't duplicate ones that already exist and explain how what effects players will earn from the new ones he ends up suggesting.

    If you mean Game Manager's then that isn't their job. Game Managers resolve in game petitions. They don't have anything to do with advertising features.

    If you mean Giant Monster's then that makes even less sense. Why would Lusca (A giant Octopus) be running a movie thether. (I'm guessing you mean theatre) Heck most GM's wouldn't even fit in a building like that.

    And yet I can log on 24 hours a day and find heroes using the search feature. And that's just the ones run by players. The NPC heroes are always there.

    News flash. This isn't Batman. This is Paragon City. A world where Heroes have been nationalized by the government.



    Since you like referencing what comic book heroes do. Superman put out fires all the time.
  18. Swinging looks stupid in zones where there is nothing to swing from.

    Rocket Boots are a costume piece you buy and craft that activate when you have Fly or Hover on.

    Wall Crawling is not a travel power. Travel powers by definition are used to travel places very quickly.

    All of your (the OP) posts are filled with mistakes. Usually spelling, grammar, punctuation, and a general lack of coherency. Those can be forgiven if English isn't your first language.


    Edit: Good point about the dyslexia Decorum. That's also a valid explanation.
  19. Why would they need firemen and trucks when they have super heroes that do it for them with less risk. Whenever a fire breaks out every hero receives a general "[FDPC] Fire Alarm sounded in Steel Canyon." message. It's a general alert calling all available heroes to assist.



    Why should they bother with ambulances when the Emergency Medical Teleport system transports injured people directly to the hospital.

    This game is about creating alts not playing one character exclusively. If you haven't figured that out in 5 years then convincing you now will be futile.

    I read that the Architect edition of CoH comes with one month free game time. I made the digital purchase today and tried to apply the serial code, only to find that at the end of the transaction I needed to input my subscription plan. Unless I do so, it seems I cannot upgrade my account.

    It's rather annoying because if this is the case, not only do I have to purchase a time card, but the "one month free" is rather misleading. Am I doing something wrong, maybe? Thanks for any help in advance
    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but

    I believe you need to register a valid credit card, or bank/atm card, or a game card. A time card isn't a game card.

    Billing to a credit card/atm can be cancelled after registering the account and you won't be charged. The free time will expire at the end of 30 days.
  22. First and foremost you and your family have my best wishes that everything works out for you.

    I think your design looks cool but I share the concerns others have voiced. Best of luck with it.

    Or when they have the next replacement product under development. They know that loyal customers will stick around until the new version is released and switch over.
