  1. You mean this?



    If so, then as EarthWyrm said, it's the Naughty Halo Aura that you can unlock by giving the Candy Keeper 25 Candy Canes and 1,000 Inf during the Winter Event.

    The only time you can unlock it is during the Winter Event, but once you unlock it on a character, it stays unlocked.

    Then they should have both buttons on the right side of the mouse. They're not really thumb buttons if your thumb can only access one without needing to be a contortionist.

    And the Dominator bug.

    I really don't think the launch of WoW's Cataclysm expansion will have much impact on CoH.

    It won't drop this week.
  5. IIRC, the one you linked is the old version that doesn't work anymore.

    If you get a blank, black page from that link, just refresh, or go back, and click again. Ever since the big forum maint before I18/GR's launch, that's been happening randomly around the forums (along with slow loading, random logouts, and other things).

    Maybe. Maybe not. Those who care about CoH will be glad for the launch. Those who care for WoW won't care about CoH anyway. And those who care for both will split their time as they see fit.

    Quite the clever plan indeed.

    And the Domination bug. I think that one affects more players than the Kheldian bug.

    Every time I lead, something bad happens. Volcanos erupt, earthquakes happen, and miners get trapped in their mines.

    I kid you not.

Leadership, which might not be cost-effective solo, then becomes a situational team power-- they buff your endurance, you buff everyones' stats. Nice tradeoff.
    That is true. Hmm... maybe activate my 2nd Build, and set it up with Leadership for when I team.

    And then my 3rd Build can collect dust like my 2nd Build has.

    Not happening, no, I don't care how brilliant I-20 is. Because the other videos I intend to make (see the above-mentioned list of 40) include several epic ones.
    We'll see... *nods sagely*

    If I20 is only half as awesome as the vibes suggest, you won't be able to resit.
  11. Say Hi to the newest member of our family.

    Last night, we finalized the paperwork, and paid the last of the adoption fees.

    The newest member of our family is Clover. She is a black and white shorthair who is 5 months old.

    And now for some pics. Click the thumbnails for larger images.







  12. She's adjusting very well to her new home. She's very playful, and last night, my daughter spent more time laughing that she has in a long time. It seems they get along very well.

  13. I'm sticking with my prediction from this thread:

    Time to dampen some spirits.

    I did some research, and checked the various News posts on the CoH main page. These are the results I got:

    4/27/09 - I15 Overview
    6/26/09 - I15 Launch
    7/15/09 - I16 Overview
    9/16/09 - I16 Launch
    2/24/10 - I17 Overview
    4/28/10 - I17 Launch
    8/17/10 - GR/I18 Launch
    10/5/10 - I19 Overview

    Looking at that pattern, an Issue Launch seems to come almost exactly 2 months after an Issue Overview is posted.

    Two months from 10/5 is 12/5, and that's a Sunday, so we need to add 2 days, since Launches seem to happen on Tuesdays.

    Using that patten, my expected Launch Date for Issue 19 is December 7, 2010.
  14. Friggin' AWESOME!

So someone else is going to have to pick up the slack for fanmade trailers for the game. A lot of folks have been asking me about how to make videos for COH - start cranking stuff out.

    Not true. On Test, I respec'd into Leadership on my main. My Recovery was only 2.something, while my Use was 3.something. On a /Regen. With QR, Stam, and PhysPerf all 3 slotted with L50 Common IO EndMods. And L50 Common IO EndReds in all attacks.

    I'll instead be grabbing Resilience, MoG, and Stealth, with MoG and Stealth holding a LotG +7.5, and swapping a slot of Stun from Eagle's Claw to Combat Jumping to hold a third LotG +7.5.

    Alpha's Lab

    Dang. Missed another shot at freebies. Ah well.

    Congratulations to the 10 who got in!

    And I can't wait to see Alpha's finished work!

  18. I tend to bind things like that to my thumb buttons. They're both on the left side of my mouse, thankfully. Thumb buttons on both sides is just pants on head retarded.

    Honestly, except for new powerset descriptions (which I still try to do), I pretty much stopped collecting information in closed betas many issues ago and just bookmark ZMs guides now. In fact, because I tend to do focused testing rather than test everything in sight, I'm usually using ZMs guides to let me know what's going on in parts of the beta I'm not otherwise seeing, or as release documentation when an issue goes live.
    So THAT'S where Arcana gets her info from... >.>

  21. Right now, I only have plans to respec 2 of my characters for IF. The rest will remain as they are.

  23. Sorry, but that's not possible. If they made powers like that able to auto-fire, it would eventually lead to botting. You'll have to continue to point and click for ranged targeted powers like Teleport or Caltrops.
  24. Did you use the direct link?

    The forum category link thing has had issues ever since the forum upgrade months ago. The direct link works for me.
