Quote:A good point, although I'd only really care about that on certain tanks.Originally Posted by Jack_NoMind
I really like the 12% regen bonus, incidentally; it's so easy to cap out on 10% ones.
Another good point. I like the first ATO set very much for this reason. The plus here is that as a 'Universal Damage' set, you have a wide variety of powers in which you can slot it. The down side is that, as the bonuses are rather feeble overall, you might want to respec to pull it out.... which I generally avoid. I slot my characters while leveling based on IO'ing them. I generally don't respec them EVER.Quote:Originally Posted by Humility
I'm looking forward to the second ATO set for exactly the same reason. A third scaling set from level 10 will be quite nice. -
I already have TWO top performers.
I want VARIETY now.

It is a fact of sales that when your doors are shut, a certain percentage of your business walks and spends elsewhere. Very sorry for all at NCSoft, and hope you get well soon.
NCSoft isn't like a grocery or convenience store. -
See this thread for information we need posted so we can see your system specs and what's running in the background.
In the meantime, how much RAM do you have and what OS are you running? -

Quote:If they did, it wouldn't be quad XP. Double XP Weekend plus a Double XP Booster would be triple XP. I'm not saying they will stack (personally, I doubt it) but, if they do, it would only be triple. It's like your base damage + 100% enhancement + 100% buff = 3x damage.Originally Posted by Commander
Can we get clarification on if the Double XP boosters we've bought in the store will stack with Double XP Weekend to create a "Quad-XP" event?

Quote:I would submit that someone who is not willing to shell out even $2 per month is not a customer that NCSoft should be eagerly pursuing.Originally Posted by GadgetDon
Even assuming they have complete knowledge of all the changes in City of Heroes and so don't try taking them out on a TF before realizing their powers are weakened to near uselessness, the steps involved in making that character playable are somewhat long and boring. For those who have already decided they're back to play, it's an annoyance. For those who are deciding whether to stay or not, it could tip the decision into "yeah, this game isn't as fun as I remembered".
So depriving you of IO's is equivalent to starving animals?Quote:Originally Posted by TClauss
I'm sorry you guys yes I will point the finger now at the community. Whats the problem with it? Some would consider waving a carrot in front of a starving animal, animal cruelty.
I'd rate that a 9 out of 10 for hyperbole!
Tell me, is it also a SLAP IN THE FACE? -
Quote:Yes, but so is the old task force. Same as when they revamped the Posi TF - you can do the old one in Ouroboros for TF Commander, or the two new ones.Originally Posted by ChrisMoses
Is the Yin TF now the one considered part of the Task Force Commander accolade?

Quote:As far as I can tell, IP infringement rules do not apply to global names. Presumably because it's 'behind the scenes' and not a character name. If it were a character name, it would get generic'ed but they would not change your global also.Originally Posted by Alpha-Six
Petitioned to have my global handle changed explaining that it might be a CP violation.. that was a no go..

Quote:I can only hope they weren't stupid enough to make a field that is expected to have changes the record key. Even before renames existed, characters were having their names generic'ed.Originally Posted by NuclearToast
One thing I thought of that's not considered by the "it's only data" people is to remember we're dealing with a software system created a decade or so ago. I imagine it originally had to do with the character's name being the database key for the character record.

Quote:*IF* the was enjoyable and playable? It was and is.Originally Posted by TClauss
We all know the game is balanced around SO's. It's completely "playable" and "enjoyable" without them. We all, well some of us remember the golden ages .. when that's all there was. I want to talk about the implementation of this system in the beginning. Why was it created? What goals were thought of when it was born? If the game was just fine, so "enjoyable" and "playable" what was the purpose of it?
Why was the invention system added? It's a time sink. The people that are interested in it can spend vast amounts of time messing with it (and staying subscribed).
But...Quote:I believe since it's implementation the invention system has become more then just an optional part of the game.
Oh, never mind. You just contradicted yourself anyway.Quote:Sure you may not need it, -

At a glance, it sucks compared to purples - which is why I have no plans to slot any.

Also note that the ATOs are unique, so you can only have one set per character.

8. Incarnates!
As I'm planning on eventually going to the limit with my current character, some understanding is required. One of my playing stints was when Incarnates were introduced, so I know all about BAF, Lambda, and Keyes, plus the Destiny, Lore, Judgement, Alpha, and Interface slots.
I'm clueless about everything added beyond that point, as well as when Incarnate stuff truly begins these days. Can I still not do Mender Ramiel's Alpha-unlocking arc until level 50 (or was that never the case)?
Well, the only thing beyond the first five slots is the Hybrid slot.... which does not impress me. I got it on four characters and don't plan to get it on any others. Contrast that with the other five slots, which I have unlocked on 9 so far and am working on the 10th.
After BAF, Lambda and Keyes, you have:
TPN Campus - Set in and around the TPN building. You fight Maelstrom. Lots of fight, fight, fight so decent source of iXP.
Underground - One of my favorites. It's LONG, but guarantees you to receive a rare or very rare salvage at the end. You fight IDF, DE and the Avatar of Hamidon.
Minds of Mayhem - This one is relatively short. Not bad. You fight various incarnations of Malaise, Mother Mayhem, Penelope Yin.
Dilemma Diabolique - I have only run this once. It seemed okay (although harder than the rest) but I hardly see anyone running it.
The Magisterium - You fight Shadowhunter, Manticore, Nega Pendragon, Black Swan and Tyrant. This trial is currently the ONLY way to get iXP to unlock Hybrid so you'll see people doing 'Magi farms' or 'Magi 250'. They start the trial, do the part where you have to defeat 250 IDF, then quit and reform. I like this one.
You should run each trial at least once. Most of them get run on a regular basis. (MoM not so much and DD hardly ever.)
You also have the incarnate arcs in Dark Astoria. The contact chain starts in Peregrine with Captain Nolan. Definitely run these. The stories are really good. You can earn both physical and psychic iXP (to unlock everything except Hybrid) and each arc gives a reward table at the end where you can get incarnate salvage (except Max's arc, which is super short, but the Dream Doctor has TWO arcs and two reward tables). -
So you're saying that you can designate a default channel for each tab and, I'm guessing, it will select that channel when you click on the tab in question? I had no idea. That would be really useful.... if it was saved with the chat settings.

Quote:What a completely absurd argument. The cost of data storage has nothing to do with this. A name change isn't ADDING data, it's changing one piece of data. If the process is automated (my god, I certainly hope it is), then the actual cost is negligible.Originally Posted by VoodooGirl
Everything you do requires data. Your character data, bios, costumes, power choices, blah blah blah. It all requires data and data requires storage.
Data storage is expensive. Believe it or not, it is. I have family members that do data warehousing for companies.
At any rate, it's clear NCSoft doesn't want people changing their names frivolously. Why? I dunno.
