Kitsune Knight

Unless Manga has information we don't, there's still the chance they'll have some fix out beforehand for the market and/or the launcher. I don't see what's the hangup with the launcher (other than likely having to get some other division in NCSoft to actually do something), the issue should be relatively easy to fix (the code base should be tiny in comparison to CoH/the Windows Launcher).

The Market is quite likely to be fixable via a tiny bit of tweaking to the page source (we already know some fonts work, so it shouldn't be too obscenely difficult to get the Mac version to just fall back to that known-working font).

If they have 27 Reward Tokens, they'll have lifetime access to the invention system. At under 27 tokens, you need to either become a VIP, or buy the 30 day invention license to be able to craft or use IOs.


Just for future reference (doesn't really apply to the situation you described): If you plan on alternating between being a VIP and Preem, but don't have 27 Reward Tokens, you can switch to your second build and just use SOs in that one, and switch between them based on your subscription status.

I'd recommend checking out the list on the page I linked in the previous post. For young enough accounts, there's also a reduced inf cap (you're probably past them on all the accounts, though).


If you're not a VIP, I believe so (VIPs get them for free, as long as they're VIP). You can buy early access to them in the store, though (I think 800 points? Not sure if that's final price, though).

Have you actually seen testing that confirmed this? I've got the recharge alpha slotted, and... I'm fairly certain it doesn't impact the recharge rate!

Nope, I just made a typo I was talking about when they were first announcing the Mac client, they were partnering with Transgaming... The lack of that 'ner' swung the sentence in a totally different direction!


I do think they're working on a native client, but I only have circumstantial evidence (primarily opting to use Qt for the at least to embed the HTML rendering engine).

It's by no means unlawful (if you claim 'free speech!', I would like to inform you that NCSoft is not the US government). It's also not really all that different than other EULAs, and it just gives them explicit power that they already implicitly had.


Have you read the current EULA? Probably not, no one ever does Paragon could say that if you send a PM to Positron saying 'Bamboozled' that he'll personally farm you to 50 on every character you ever make, and more than likely it would be years before someone noticed.

Don't expect any real changes wrt how NCSoft/Paragon act in regards to the playerbase. Giving them the ability to ban someone for any reason doesn't mean they'll be banning them for any reason... after all, each ban is money lost... unless the banned account would have driven others away (i.e. they were a ****** bag... like me ).

They did give it away for free. The "Mac" box was just to commemorate the release and to get a new box on store shelves (plus, the nice Valkyrie goodies). That is pretty much the only non-collectors edition of CoH I don't have... and yet, I run it on a Mac I'd imagine that the majority of the people that bought it had no intention of using the Mac client, and were just interested in the free month + Valkyrie pack + Mission Teleporter power.

They also had publicly said they were partnering with Transgaming, using their Cider wrapper. That really is a bit more technical than most people care for, though, so it didn't get a huge amount of attention. They weren't exactly trying to keep it secret.

Edit: Corrected "parting" to "partnering"... that totally changed that sentence! Damn typos...

I think it's quite reasonable to fix the font issue in 4 days... for values of 'fix' that are equal to 'work around'. We know at least one font works, so switching everything to that (even just for Mac clients) should be a good enough stop gap solution.


The other issue, though, is the broken updater. I wouldn't think that'd take a long time to fix, so I bet (hope) that's already been fixed in an internal version.

You could do it for fun...

But, quite frankly, the BAF is no where near hard enough (including the prisoner phase) that this is too big of a concern. If you have a VR Lore, you're likely already built out to the gills and having the Lore pet out for only part of the time shouldn't make a massive impact on your likelihood to succeed.

I'm fairly certain that we'll need an update to the NC Launcher to fix that, as the problem is it not having appropriate error checking (i.e. it explodes parsing user.reg), as well as it trying to read from user.reg for inexplicable reasons...

Dx
I felt so stupid when I realized I had stood for about 20 minutes at the exit of a train station... (I didn't even realize until a good while later that was what happened, I just gave up and went off somewhere else in the zone)


Fortunately, I've never vendored an expensive recipe before. I'll always make sure to put them on WW and just have the crappy ones with me when I do a vendor run, just in case!

This isn't an issue specific to you or the OSX client- I'm getting it as well on Windows. Looks like the servers are just down

If you're at least tier 8 VIP, you get 550 PP free every month. Check out <insert forumer's name here>'s guide to the reward levels. Long as you're not interested in the powers, it's definitely a net win... even if you're not interested in some of the powers but are in others (i.e. I already have the GvE Jump Pack... I don't really need a second!)

Yep, this. The Musculator Alpha slot is the only thing that can impact Judgement- but not even that has an impact on Reactive.

But what if I wanna play now, not a year from now?

Bookmark the real paragonwiki, not the evil goatee wearing wikia one!

Even me?

But... what if someone plays the game that way? So you're saying your wrong for saying they're wrong for telling people they're wrong!



(in all seriousness, what he said... especially the smilies part! seriously )

If you've been around long enough, you get much of the game unlocked. Pretty damn good deal for free, I would say!

This is due to Controllers being a mez using AT. That's actually intentional, as Controllers have a higher value for that sort of thing inherent to their AT (the power is actually exactly the same between the three ATs, but, it's modified based on the AT's modifiers).

I'm also fairly certain that wouldn't be too large of a benefit for trying to solo AVs and such (although it can't hurt).

Procs can definitely have a 100% chance in CoH. Look at things like Kismet: +Accuracy or Numina's unique. Those are procs with 100% chance to trigger (which is why they can double stack on zoning, and various other things).
