Welcome to the game!
And yes, the Tailor is the place to go to change almost anything about your character's looks, from Costume parts to Costume Colors, to face, to power colors!
As of right now, when you create a character, only 3 things are set in stone, and can not be changed without deleting the character:
- Archetype - Once you pick one, you're stuck. You can't go from Scrapper to Tanker to Defender and back to Scrapper. Until Going Rogue comes out, this also locks you in to the "side" of the game you play: Heroes or Villains.
- Origin - No changing of any of the 5 Origins. The 6th Origin, Incarnate, has never been available to us. Maybe one day...
- Powersets - You picked 'em, you got 'em. A Charcter Respecification, or Respec for short, will allow you to re-choose the order of your powers, and the placement of your slots, but will not allow you to change the powersets themselves.
Everything else can be changed in game, though changing Gender (Female <-> Male <-> Huge), height, and "build" (Athletic, Average, etc.) will require that you purchase Super Booster III: Super Science first. -
Apparently, Scott Adams is dead on when he depicts marketing as a bunch of evil trolls that hate everyone.

Hate to tell you this, but you can't have one without the other.

Huh. I never had any problems against Longbow or Arachnos on my SS/WP Brute. And no Fighting Pool, either.
I do slot 1 End Reduce into all my attacks and shields, and High Pain Tolerance has 3 Heal and 3 Resist Damage in it. Maybe it's because I was using Common IOs?
Quote:Well, since you asked so nicely./bind <key> "powexecnameauto boxing" should make it so whatever key you select will toggle auto fire for boxing on and off as needed, so you don't have to stop what you are doing to hold down Ctrl and click on the power. If that bind is wrong, please feel free to correct me, anybody. I'm rusty with that particular command, so I may have forgotten it's exact formatting.It's actually /bind <key> "powexecauto Boxing"

Quote:So, it looks like I'll be getting a new compy with 2009's tax return. It should handle GR just fine, in and of itself. However, I know I'll need a new video card. Currently, I'm using a BFG 6200 OC 256MB PCI card. I don't think that the 256 MB Video RAM will cut it for Ultra Mode.If you are looking to spend under US$100, then an NVidia 9800 GT is your best bet.
I don't expect to be able to spend much more than $100 for a new card, and even then, it may have to wait, depending on fundage. Looking at NewEgg's listing for the 9800 GT, I notice that it comes in two "flavors": 512 MB Video RAM and 1 GB Video RAM. Obviously, the 1 GB VRAM will be superior, but if funds dictate that I can't afford that, will a card with 512 MB VRAM work?
Thanks in advance! -
If you hate the Rage crash NOW, be glad you didn't play SS BEFORE they nerf'd the Crash.

Quote:Then you might also disagree with a couple of other changes I'd like to see, that I was reminded of when I logged in earlier today:Quote:A thread about the stuff to get rid of/change? AWESOME!
I submit this:
Get rid of the stupid NPCs that run around inside missions! They just get in the way, and piss me off. If they worked like rescued NPCs on the streets, and ran to the nearest exit, I'd be happy. But nooooo. They run around like heads with their chickens cut off, getting in the way, and making you wish you could kill them!
1) STSNPCU - Shut The Speical NPCs Up. You know, the Ship Information Officer in the Vanguard Base in the RWZ, or the receptionists at the Vaults, or the Vanguard guys outside the Vuanguard Depots in the zones that connect to the RWZ, who ALWAYS talk when you get near them. They say the same every time, and it's annoying. They should say it once, and then be silent.
2) Tutorial Mission Doors - For Outbreak, the mission should always be at the set of doors at the building behind Coyote. It sucks to have to run to the far side of the zone, because by the time you make it back to Coyote, and pick your starting zone, your Level Up Buffs have pretty much worn off. For Breakout, the door that's to the left of the Arachnos Pilot should be the mission door. Granted, you don't have to run nearly as far, but it's far enough.
3) This is for Heroes only: Starting Zone Equality. Galaxy City is treated like a red-headed step child. And I don't like it. Galaxy is far superior to Atlas. It has Badd *** Brawler to train you, instead of wussy Ms. Liberty. But I digress. Galaxy needs to have an Auction House added, and an NPC added inside the Freedom Corp. building to hand out the Cape and Aura missions. Atlas needs to have an Arena added, and an NPC added inside City Hall to do Resepcs. -

Quote:Concerning this. Marketing team is Fail.Concerning what exactly?
I could just go in and slap them and be perfectly content...but it might help if I can scream something at them while the slapping action happens. -
The ONLY powers I ever place on auto are an attack, or a heal (or Siphon Speed when between missions on a Kinetics character).
I set up a seperate keybind file for all of my characters. One of the default binds is * is Hasten (The key name for binds is MULTIPLY). When I finally make a SS/SD character, I'll bind Rage and Active Defense to the Numpad's + and Enter keys (ADD and NUMPADENTER). Those are the keys I generally bind Aim and Build Up to.
It's very easy to just move my hand over to the Numpad and press + and Enter. -

It seems to be mainly AoE effects that cause it. I was on a team last night with my Fire/Fire Tanker, and there was a Shield/Elec Tanker. We'd jump into a mob, he'd throw off Shield Charge and Lightning Rod while I was throwing off Combustion and Fire Sword Circle, and I'd lag so bad that the game would freeze, and I'd see Lost Connection To Map Server. And this was with my settings turned down to the minimum.
After he left for the night, a Willpower/Fire Tanker came in, and while I was having no issues, he was getting the lag.
I've talked to other people in the game who have the same problem. And none of us had this problem until after the Winter Event started. -
Hahaha! That Thirty_-_Seven is so silleh!
Back on topic, I, too, am having the same issue with WW. And it started about a week ago. I've been able to place the same item into the interface 5 and 6 times, because it shows up there, and on hand. Eventually, it'll realize that I'm trying to do something, and all copies in the interface will be gone, and I'll be left with the original item I had on hand.
you have to watch the Consignment House channel, and keep trying until you see the text that says, "You put xxx in the Consignment House." Until then, it's not really there.
Royal pain in the ***. -
It's an old, old message from the days of yore. It no longer has any meaning, and nobody seems to know why it shows up occasionally.

Dear ThirtyPointlessUnderscoreSeven,
As far as I can tell, /unloadgfx is still not working. If it is, Zombie Man hasn't said so, yet... -
Interesting. It still says that it's redeeming the slot on Training02, but it unlocks them on the server. I wonder if everything got moved to Training02 duing the 01/08/10 maint, and this is one of the consequinces. ALL Global Chat Channels are gone, too.
This sucks, because I have characters on my main account on the Test Server that I don't want to delete. :|
Edit
It seems that you only have to go down to 12 characters in order to redeem slots, and not 11, as I was thinking. I started deleting characters that were only there for small, quick tests, and when I had 12 left, the two slots I had purchased earlier showed up.
Still, it's a royal PITA to have to "buy" and unlock all 48 additional slots agian. -
Since you have the Custom Forum Title, I'd say that means there was nothing "wacky" with your entry.
Once again, Congratulations! -
Congratulations!
Snakes and Hellions are the ones that took me forever to find. -
I think I tried that, but I don't remember. If I remember the next time it happens, I'll try it (again?) and see...
-
The Training Room is saying that all my unused character slots are locked and unavailable. Usually, this happens when the in-game store is down, but it's up and running.
If I purchase a slot and attempt to redeem it, the window tells me that the slot is going to be redeemed on Training Room02. o_O
Deleting a character locks the slot they were in. I need to have 11 or less charcters before I can make a new character.
I'm not sure if copying a character over works or not. I have one that I sent over about 5 mins. ago, and I'm still waiting for it to show up. Since it can take up to 30 mins. I may have to wait a bit to see...
Edit
OK, the copied character showed up just fine. So, you can copy characters, and you can make new characters IF you have 11 or less. You can NOT make new characters if you have 12 or more, and any slots you redeem are unlocked on Training Room02.
