I realy have no idea what I have bought or own.
There is the /mypurchases command. If you turn chat logging on, type the command, turn logging off, you get a list of everything you own in an HTML table.
Not great, but a start. -

Quote:You left out the "For me" bit.Originally Posted by UberGuy
For [b]me to think[/b ] it to be brilliant, it needs to be solving a problem. Since I don't see a problem, I don't see a reason to introduce change.
It does solve some problems though.
1) There is a "significant" disjoint between the effectiveness of certain qualifying powers for certain pools. Hasten provides benefit to everyone. Hover is pointless for many and maybe more useful for people that want Teleport. This suggestion would even that out.
2) It would make it much easier to add new travel powers under this model. Okay, so less of a problem and more an opportunity. However I do think the game would be better if Ninja Run and Beast Run were actual power choices rather than some strange ability now gained by all my characters!
Actually I am with you on this! But at this point I think we are fighting against the tide.Quote:Originally Posted by UberGuy
I don't understand why everyone wants everything to have so fewer hard choices. Well, I understand why they want it, but I don't understand why they always think its such a great idea to actually do.
However I don't believe my suggestion would be caustic to build options.

Quote:You will have to explain that one to me, since nothing that is possible now would be impossible under this scheme except the character that has Hasten, Combat Jump, Recall Friend and Hover and no true movement power. Forgive me if I don't believe that covers 90% of your charactersOriginally Posted by rsclark
And in the process invalidate 90% of my characters.
If you are currently using Beast Run or Ninja Run as your main movement power, you would loose one power selection but you would gain the ability to slot it. -

Quote:I suspect Snow Globe is suggesting the 3s and 8s so that you can combine with existing enhancements, rather than replace.Originally Posted by NekoNeko
Why would you slot new SOs at those levels? On almost all my characters, I slot new SOs at 22, 27, 32, 37, 42 and 47 (and I wonder why you'd need to slot new SOs at 50). I guess basically I'm asking for the strategy of waiting the extra level, when you *could* slot new SOs one level earlier. I somehow get the eerie feeling I'm missing something big that has somehow eluded me all this time.

Quote:And several people have also stated very clearly (myself included) that running regular content doesn't require you to be fully slotted. Sell TOs & DOs instead of slotting them and you will have the influence you need when it gets round to SO time.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
I am stating a very clear point. The Devs have clearly stated SOs are what the game is built around. If you run regular content and get to 22 and again at 27, you will not be able to afford SOs. This can cost us the opportunity of retaining new Freebs that are giving us a look. That is stupid.
I do not bother slotting efficiently until I start buying SOs and even then I don't care about having everything. You don't need to be a brilliant player to do it, only and very experienced player will even notice the difference. Its what most players do anyway. -
Amazingly Brilliant Suggestion:
Merge all the travel powers into one power pool called "The Travel Power Pool"
Tier One consists of: Fly, Super Speed, Super Leap and Teleport.
Tier Two consists of: Everything else. Yes even the current top tiers.
Rules: Tier Two is unlocked by have one power from Tier One. Thats it. So you get a travel power at level 4 and then have access to Hover or Combat Jump or Afterburner etc etc.
The major advantage I see of doing this would be that you could add new modes of transport without having to create a new complete power pool. So it would be easier to add something like Beast Run into the mix. -
Quote:To be honest I've thought that was true of Fly and Teleport for a long time.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
In fact there's an argument to be made that Fly, Super Jump, Teleport and Superspeed are now redundant and the only reason to take them is for character/RP reasons.
I have always be a proponent of choosing your movement power at character creation but I think the time for that has past
I also think that City of Heroes has its travel power progression bassackwards! You should get your basic movement power as your first pick, and combat versions or party tricks second. But then that's practically what we've got now. -
Quote:Air Superiority is an awesome power that needs no change whatsoever.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
And while we're at it, could we do anything about Team Teleport and Air Supremacy?
The only the only thing that could make it more awesome would be if it didn't cause weapon wielding characters to sheath their weapon. I don't expect that to happen any time soon. -
Can you email attachments to free accounts?
If so that would seem to be the solution.
With regard to the whole "Cannot buy enhancements" argument, I would agree that in the course of "normal" play (whatever that is) you do not get quite enough influence to buy all the TO, DO and SOs you might like. However in the course of "normal" play that is far from necessary.
With the return to the game of many of my friends, I have started a ton of alts and while I have access to plenty of inf I still don't bother slowing down the game to slot efficiently. I just make sure I have enough End Redux (which may mean double slotting at low levels) and I am good to go.
If you feel you really MUST have a bunch of SOs then another alternative is to run Death from Below, which drops them like they are going out of fashion.
Have fun

I don't know about breaking them down but after upgrading my t3 Partial Core Improved Ally into a t4 Radial Superior Ally, I wish I could swap it back

Quote:Yeah, I was really disappointed about that. The Spectacular Spider Man cartoon series was all manner of awesome and so far has been the one and only representation of Venom (in any medium) that I've actually liked. I was really hoping they would get round to doing The Death of Gwen Stacey.Originally Posted by DLancer
Disney taking over did kill that Spectacular Spider Man show though due to the rights issue. It was getting pretty decent too....
If anyone finds a way to the parallel universe where that happened, please let me know. Cheers! -
Quote:If you mean the movie, I don't think so. More to do with Sony needing to make a film if they wanted to keep the rights.Originally Posted by _Klaw_
(Back on topic) Isn't it because Disney took over and they want to do interlocking storylines?

No way. You could have stats for Alcoholism and Philandery.

But that was so bad and Peter Firth's acting so wooden I just couldn't sit through it.

Quote:The thing that annoyed me most with Caltrops was how high you had to hover for them not to effect you.Originally Posted by Warkupo
I just hover'd over them with either Hover or a Jetpack.
I'm 18 feet off the ground, I shouldn't be taking damage from caltrops!
Phew! Glad to get that off my chest

Quote:Is that working for them? I genuinely would like know, since I took a look at a couple of books from the range and promptly cancelled all my DC pick-ups.Originally Posted by Judas_Ace
If you don't think the numbers will be there for a reboot, take a look at the New 52 from DC and think again.

Quote:Hardly at all. Most of Marvel's Asgardian characters vary from the descriptions in the Eddas. Which is probably a good thing from Marvel's point of view, otherwise they wouldn't be able to copyright it all. Although I believe Stan said he made Thor blonde rather than red because he knew nothing of the mythology.Originally Posted by Diggis
Out of curiosity, how closely does the comic follow the myths in that regard?
Interestingly the Eddas have some surprisingly comic-book description in them, such as describing angry Thor as having fire coming out of his eyes and lightning crackling through his beard. -
