    I use this for my main. SHe created my SG directly on hitting lvl 10. Back then I was on the game for only a few days. So it is a pretty accurate number But for my main its insignificant. As she is my first toon. Therefore the vet badges are the same timer. It is the rest I cannot check.
  3. I had to load a saved costume on test to alter and try the steampunk stuff.. character copy is still not showing all servers (better way to call it as were not having EU or NA servers anymore).

    Maybe we should call those 4 missing servers the shaft-servers?
  4. I would prob make an illusion/empath or illusion/radiation colored bright white.

    Light bending, holigrams, illusions, and focused blasts like lasers. I would choose illusion/radiation for a light based toon.
  5. Copy tool on the forum is not showing the old EU servers... How and where do we copy our toons over?

The Pencil Skirt is the exact opposite of that, being tight to the knees and kind of restricting, the infinite stretch of video game fabrics notwithstanding. I know we can't get floor-length skirts, but something wider may be in order, because my design right now reminds me too much of an office lady uniform.

    Also, I'd use the leather boots, but I kind of like the matte gloves and the thigh-high stilettos don't have any customization options. Will investigate.


    Yes... I know. I would kill for a real dress being available! Or at least Liz would... They obviously tried to make it with the long dress like leg covers. But failed to close as low as possible and make the thing wide. It slowly becomes time for tech that allows long dresses with walking and flying.

    On the clothes.. if I use the leather boots I might go for shiny leather gloves and the more leather corset too. Argh.. when I get home I grab the test again :P
  7. How long will the old server be available and can we get a heads up when it is removed? Or will the launcher automatically remove the link when they go down?
  8. Link and status of the European copy service please!?

    I like to participate if possible.

    The test US test server (now named only test server as the EU will be removed in time) is already installed.

    Edit: Went to the character copy tool http://boards.cityofheroes.com/charactercopy.php
    Still only shows the NA servers
  9. Group fly sooo needs these changes. The devs have tpo be aware it is now officially the least used power in the game.

    Mainly because its annoying. I have it for concept reasons as last power on my stporm defender. But never use it. The fly speed should match the caster.. and a prompt should go off like recall friend. That is the only way to make this power useful again.
  10. Why they didnt use the ones in the screenshots?!

    At work and no access.. But I was playing around with the bridal pencil skirt.
    or
    The steam punk skirt with fabriclike pats onder it. We should be able to place the bloomers under the skirt as it should be.

    I always re-use parts of other costumes.. as if she uses a basic closet. So I will most probably go for the thight high boots/heels again.

    Will make a screeny when I get home...

    That's a Steampunk jacket, chest detail, sleeves, belt and choker. The rest is the Magic Pack High Collar cape (obviously), matte gloves and low stilettos, cargo pants (closest I had to a fabric bottom) and the Disco top, which gets overridden by the fake arms from the Steampunk sleeves. The face is one of the "new ones" and the hair is that bun which I think came with the Wedding pack, but I don't remember.

    The idea behind this one is that she's elegant, striking and also a complete evil shapeshifter monster. I'll obviously need a second costume slot for her transformation, but I intend to use her other form to fight. Just doesn't feel right to fight in that dress.

    *edit*
    And sorry about the dark screenshot, but you try taking a pic of a black costume in the Rogue Isles at night
    I was already playing with a look resembling this for my vampire. You gave some new idea's. And yes.. I already used that hairstyle for her

    I have an old screeny of those boots too.

    And on the first picture you can see the need for neclaces and other jewelry. Those barbwire model neclaces are not really original jewelry anymore.

    I think we need a re-order of costume files over the whole spectrum. All ties and neck options moved to lower head or shoulder... not on both for instance.
  14. Just repaired 'The Rise of the Blood Countess'...

    problems:

    - Victoria Tennyson - vampire bride
    It seems Victor is copyrighted (probably because of Victor von Doom). Renamed to Katherine Tennyson. A firstname in the list :S ?!

    - Abomination Zombie ambush
    First I thought it was because of the word 'bush' in 'Ambush'. But of-course it is 'Abomination' as that is a Marvel villain. They are renamed 'Blood Brute'. A bit far-fetched though.

    Good thing I never used the name 'Dracula' even though he is mentioned in another way. That name is filtered too. Of-course 'Dracula' is now public domain as the rights are from a book over 100 years old.

    Oh.. tip.. renaming the Abomination zombie ambush I learned that the filter goes as deep as file-names. The saved critter had the name 'Abomination'. When I renamed everything in the mission so you couldn't see the name anywhere... it still gave an error. I had to save the critter under a different name and then use that.
  15. I just think it needs to be re-looked at!

    At least lower the endurance cost some.
  16. Ahhhh.. yess... the Blip! Annoying thing. I tried it too... and I read somewhere that even Positron tried to stand on it.

    You are not alone hehehehe... I remember doing that. And even asked help on it.

    I started as an mm... but it took me almost a month to realise I could drop inspirations on my pets. I felt so overpowered by that at that time

THEN you come on here and complain that you're too strong??

    This argument is as silly as a man suing Mcdonalds for making him fat or very muscular man getting upset with his gym for making him too fit. You reap what you sow people.

    Besides it's not like you HAVE to use your incarnate powers. There is the option to unslot them. Heck, it's not like you have to use your IOs either. Dual builds ftw.

    As for the OP, expect those numbers to halve once the rest of the incarnate abilities are introduced.
    Totally agreeying here....

    If your main toon now is too strong!?
    If he is like Superman!?

    Time to roll another Robin!

    Try this again with a level 5 or do the same tf's at +4/x8! Or go without incarnate.. you can unslot them you know!

    Challenges I like too though. Although not in the speed area. More in the levels they have. Several years ago I already did the tf's at +3/x0. Now I like even higher. An ITF at +4/x8 ends up as a madhouse. Another tip is the good (non-farm) AE content. My arc below at +4/x8 will give you more challenge again. As the mobs are a bit stronger then the avarage.
  19. Pretty Please!!!
    - This huge list expanded makes browsing horrible.

    And while you are doing that... Place create inventions at the worktable on top.

    It is called a 'Bustle' and is a piece of cloth to make the bum look bigger while wearing wide skirts. A problem with the engine is that we cannot have the right skirts (yet). This pack is trying to simulate the dresses but we actually need tech that stops trying to simulate but actually can do them without too much clipping.
  22. Why are people suggestion this anew every 1-2 weeks?

    It has been discussed to death on these forums. And the reasons why this is a bad idea have been legion. Please use the search function next time :S
  23. Ok.. so new tech makes the faces better! But will you go back and cover all older faces with the same tech?

    When the new detailed colored hair came out none of the older ones got a revamp! That is way overdue.
  24. So.. how is this test server setup now? I still see a copy of the german server as Trainingroom 1 and the euCOHTestWorldServer_13!

    What will be the end test server and is the character copy tool working???
