This is an artifact of how the game handles waypoints: a waypoint is a (map name, coordinates) pair. For a typical waypoint such as the Atlas Park trainer, it would be ("Atlas Park", <128, 19, -216>), but mission maps don't have names, so instead it shows the filename of the map.

What you've got there isn't a waypoint to "Blaque Betty", it's a waypoint to "Blaque Betty on the mission map". You'll get similar effects if you create a thumbtack waypoint on a mission map, or a waypoint to an escort.

Which one? There are eleven city maps and ten hazard maps hero-side. Do you really expect people to inspect each one to see if it's acquired an extra trainer contact icon?

Wrong. Neither copyright nor trademark works that way.

Copyright infringement is about where you got something: you could take a poem, change every single word in it, and you'd still have a copyright violation, because of what your starting point was. Names can't be copyrighted, so this is irrelevant to City of Heroes character names.

Trademark infringement is about confusion: trademarks are about protecting symbols that indicate a specific provider of goods or services. If you're using a protected symbol (eg. "Superman") in a way that confuses people as to the source of something, or you're using a symbol (say, "Superguy") that could reasonably be mistaken for a protected symbol, you're infringing trademark. There's no hard-and-fast rule about how close you can get before you're considered infringing, rather, it's decided on a case-by-case basis in the courts.

In the case you specify ("Mark" versus "Mork"), there's no chance you'd be found infringing unless you're using it to name an Orkish god or an alien attempting to understand human behavior.

My understanding is that you can't sell a base storage item that has things stored in it.

I can say with 99.99999999% confidence that the current salvage drop rate for minions is higher than the official 8%. The drop rates for LTs and bosses are also high, but not too far outside the expected ranges: there's a roughly 1 in 2000 chance that the LT drop numbers are due to randomness rather than a shift in drop rates, and the boss drop number is within the 99% interval for a 25% drop rate.

Anyone else have data on this?

It's a delay of 0-20 seconds if you're ready to go, and a delay of 30-50 seconds if you need to prep and miss the current unlock.

Because of the way the game computes power boosts, if Power Boost affected resistance powers, so would Fulcrum Shift. I'm sure you can see how that would be overpowered.

When you're getting double drops, is it from all enemies, or just minions?

28 trademarks on "Ricochet", for everything from landscaping colorants to chewing gum. Notably, the Marvel character isn't one of them.

There's only one way to infringe on trademark, and that's to use it in a way that could be confusing. I can use the name "Coca-Cola" all I want to without infringing, so long as I don't do so in a way that makes people think I'm the one who owns the trademark, or that something of mine is a product of the trademark owner.

In a City of Heroes context, that means I can describe my hero as getting his powers from drinking Coca-Cola with no problems. Naming him Coca-Cola Man, however, could be ruled an infringement, since it could confuse people into thinking my character has some relationship to the Coca-Cola Company.

Time to throw some numbers at this. I spent about an hour shredding random level 51 Carnies, and ran the resulting log through DropStats. The relevant line is:
It's high, but just within the 95% interval for "normal". I can't tell if this means the drop rate has been raised or not; more data is needed.

Staff Melee. Combines combos with Swap Ammo-like mechanics.

I tanked Burkholder and a room-full of Council on a SO-only Katana/Elec after the rest of the team wiped. The only problem I had was running out of endurance, since I was only in the low 30s, and Power Sink isn't available until 35.

They've rolled it out to browsers other than Chrome and their blessed version of Firefox (whichever one that is)? I've never seen the "camera" icon that indicates search-by-image is available in any browser I've tried.

You'll also need a willingness to touch the place with a ten-foot pole, and a computer network where Facebook isn't blocked at the firewall.

There's one obscure exception to this: if you're a Trick Arrow character without a fire or energy attack in your attack powers or APP, you'll want to go with a Magic or Tech origin so you can ignite Oil Slick with your origin power.

That's...really not an effective slotting for the bots. You're giving up far too much damage, and neither you nor the bots are gaining anything from endurance reduction. Here's what I'd do:

Battle Drones: 3 damage, 2 to 3 accuracy.
Protector Bots: 2 defense, 1 endurance, 1 heal, 1 accuracy, 1 damage.
Assault Bot: 3 damage, 1 to 3 accuracy.

I've never seen an Assault Bot or Battle Drone run out of endurance even in an extended GM fight, and without endurance reduction, a Protector Bot takes about four minutes to run down -- right about the time it's starting to apply the second round of bubbles.

In general, you've got things slotted far too heavily for endurance reduction, and not well enough for their primary purposes. With the latest changes to FF, a Bots/Bubbles with no personal attacks can run all their toggles unslotted and still have endurance to spare.

Illusion/Rad is the slow-but-safe option for soloing just about anything in the game: the indestructible perma-PA holds aggro, Lingering Radiation shuts down the target's regen, and then the illusionist's attacks (and those of the pets, if there's only a single target) slowly wear away HP. Just about anything with strong regen debuffs will outperform Illusion/Rad in terms of speed, but none of them is anywhere near as durable.

This isn't an instanced mission, it's a mission using the new phasing tech.

That speculates about the question, but does not answer it. The only people that can answer the question right now are the developers, and they have not done so.

It's been on and off about having a name for several issues now. Last time, names only showed up for villain portals.
