The afternoons dispatcher quit, which means I have to work this weekend. 11 hours on sunday alone. Of course he also picked a week where we have a dispatcher on holidays to quit without notice.

Yes it is most likely because of the recent resub. It sometimes takes a day or two for the login servers for the test and beta servers to catch up to the live servers.

The city of heroes launcher has been discontinued. You have to download the NCsoft launcher here to launch the game now.

Congrats! I've been looking into a beater of a machine for littlemage to play on. She loves making my characters jump. There was a thread on these forums about "What my 6 year old has learned from COH" and it was adorable.

CIBC apparently has a visa cobranded debit card that works just like a credit card for online purchases. If I disliked or couldn't get a credit card I would check that out. A friend of mine has one and loves it.

I have always said, if you don't want to blast as an empath, then roll a controller. A handful of blasts that rarely, if ever get used are far less useful than a handful of good controls.

I've been playing empathy since headstart, and in the early levels my blasts were more plentiful and probably better slotted than my primary. I wouldn't dream of playing an empath without blasting. For anyone wondering how they can balance blasting and primary usage, there's really a one word answer - practice. If you slot for recharge primarily both in your top tier buffs and for set bonuses once you get to IO sets, you should be able to spread out fort and AB to mitigate a lot of incoming damage, and with regen aura cycling regularly, you can cover the whole team. I don't allow myself to get mesmerized by hitting one attack after another so that I get a cued attack up that can lock me in animations, I make sure that I can turn and react. Psi blast has some really quick animations in the later powers, so it's pretty easy to turn and pop a heal if someone gets low. It does take some work to get used to the constant whack-a-mole, but with some effort you can learn to start whacking enemies in between the buffing and the healing on all but the most overmatched teams.

Emp/psi is my main, and both carnies and robot ANYTHING but clockwork will make you want to tear your hair out. However, being able to land said parting shot on unstoppable or MOGed paragon protectors is just sweet too. Soloing anything is doable on an empath, being doing it off and on for 7 years, but do not expect it to be fast, and against resistant enemies can be mind numbingly slow. Wouldn't change her for the world though, fear them pink bubbles!

Thank you very much! That fixed the problem, and I was able to send the excess funds back to my main

I tried a work around - had my inventor/banker main send the character with the recipes some inf, and had her do the crafting and dump the enhancements in our shared supergroup base. It meant that I could get the enhancements, but I tried sending an enhancement that I crafted on that character, and it did the same thing, as well as did the same thing when I tried to send my main back the excess cash. I bug reported it, and will continue to try for a day or two to see if it resolves itself.

Nope, still won't let me. I logged that character off, logged on my inventor character, made some enhancements and emailed them to another character fine, but when I logged in the character with the recipes, it still wouldn't let me send them. I'll try again later, but it's really strange.

I did some reward merit rolls on one character that I want to send to another, but it won't let me email them. I attach it, use my global handle, and as soon as I send it, it tells me that I've claimed that recipe from my email. Is this intended?

Oh gods, no. NO one server has the corner on dumb players. I've run into my fair share of real gems on triumph and victory, and neither of them are terribly high pop. I had one real gem back in the day notice me healing from across the way in Talos and proceed to tear me a new one becuase they weren't doing ENOUGH. Dude, you're not even on my team, back off! I've also had people DEMAND I leave my current, SG team to join them because they NEEEEEEEEEEEEED a healer. I'll get right on that /ignore <idiotname>

Now, you will find more idiots on freedom and virtue, simply becuase you'll find more players of every stripe on freedom. Nature of the beast.

Chinatown is neither a town, nor in China.
