Quote:Have you considered making popup SHIFT or CTRL sensitive (I wouldn't try to mess with ALT though)?
This was done because, unlike the Data View window on the left, there is no ability to do a mouseover of the Enhancement numbers to find out how much of the enhancement comes from your slots and how much comes from the Alpha Slot. My choices were to either overloaded the popup with enhancement data, making it difficult to read, or to choose between displaying the final amount or the pre-Alpha Slot amount, and I chose the later because I felt that would be more immediately useful to people when they are filling their slots.
So, when mouseover with no keys held you show default popup (let's say without Alpha numbers), and when SHIFT or CTRL held you show popup that includes Alpha numbers.
Just a thought... -
Hmm, I haven't try to escort anything without detoggling all my stealth powers recently. Negative stealth didn't work in i19 and earlier. Maybe something was fixed in i19.5 though.

Also almost all DE in these tip missions have 64% to-hit. So consider yourself warned.

I'd like to point to this thread http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=248557. These runs were done before level shift.

Sounds like a bug to me.
Only few exceptions I can think of atm, are 2 Hercules Titans combining into Zeus Titan and council boss downgraded to LT turning into Warwolf boss. -
Quote:Alternatively, server could check if all players on the team have accomplishment badge for this TF, and skip cutscene automatically if that's true.I do wish CoH had something that I recall Going Rogue had. Everyone on a team had a vote to skip a cutscene. If everyone voted to skip it, it would be skipped. If even one person didn't vote, it would play out normally. Voting was anonymous. This was great for allowing someone who wanted to see the cutscene, but if everyone was tired of it, they could bypass it.
Apologies if someone else already mentioned this, as I didn't read the whole thread before posting. Edit: I see they did. And I think feeling pressured by an anonymous vote is ... interesting. -

Quote:I'm having the same issue on one of my home computers (It is also Windows XP).As i said in an earlier post, I was accessing over my phone, over proxy (kproxy doesn't work for it anymore, though), and via another computer on the home network that i'm now not certain had a fully cleared DNS cache. And in the matter of the phone I can't clear that DNS cache anyways.
the NCsoft sites have been loading up fine, and the other nationality/language versions of coh.com load fine, but anything that's just on --.cityofheroes.com (that includes boards, and newsletters sent via email & hyperlinked) are not accessible.
I have truely tried everything that I know and researched into. Everything that could block without permission/log has been cleanly uninstalled (and yes I checked for "zombie" processes/files still in there & registry.) I'm at a total and complete loss what else could be blocking just those sites, but kproxy not being able to access the sites anymore leads me to think this is not an isolated incident. It may be a combination of things (such as random computer error that caused a LSP or winsock corruption that won't "self-heal" (as MS states Windows XP can do), combined with DNS errors on the ISP or hub's behalf.
It's not the end of the world, but it's incredibly annoying. Official Tech Support has not been able to help me yet.
/flushdns doesn't help. Changing DNS servers doesn't help as well.
I have tried to do nslookup from the router (I have Netgear WNR 3500L open source router) using different DNS servers (including google, verizon, opendns, my ISP's DNS servers) and responses were at best unreliable.
Strangely enough, my laptop has no problem at all connecting to .cityofheroes.com through the same router. -

Quote:Sorry. I know that you want to get through the entire TF in less than 5 minutes, but don't touch the cutscenes! The cutscenes work better in some cases than the radio messages. The STF is one of these cases.Quote:Devs-
If you take away our cutscenes, then I'll write an even angrier forum post than Vanden did above! It'll be twice as long, at least two more sentences! And if you don't read it, I'LL KNOW. Don't ask me how.
Think about it, devs-- it's just not worth it.

I think, devs simply flipped reward values for Kahn and Barracuda by mistake. It used to be 20 for Kahn and 30 for Barracuda. Now is just opposite. IIRC, it happened right after i18 release.

FWIW, I don't care about A-merits.
I stopped running tips/alignment missions right after I got my GA +3% def.
2 of my toons are near merits cap, with the rest holding between 2000-6000 merits each.
So I simply decided to keep one pure villain and one pure hero at any time, and switch my other heroes to vigilantes and villains to rogues. -
Quote:It was in middle of August 2009 during the time when repairmen were bugged.So when was that image made? There was a point when the Red Tower did not give him invulnerability to Smash/Lethal/Energy. Nothing wrong with it, just mentioning that there's a world of difference between what you could do before that patch, and what you now have to do to leave the Red Tower up. That said, I can see more than half your team is using non-Smash/Lethal/Energy sets (other than the lolScrapper and possibly Tanker), so it's one of the few times it can be utilized effectively.
Before said patch, my group typically ignored everything but the Green because you could more or less brute-force past the other three Towers with an overload of buffs. The Green though? We found that leaving it up hurt our time more than helped.
Red tower buffed damage and resistance to LR tho on that run. It took us few minutes longer to defeat LR than usually. -

Quote:You don't have to destroy all towers, but it definitely makes live easier.We only leave blue up, but now I understand that all tower must go down. Next run will be less frustrating since our major problem was than the tank was unable to stand toe to toe with him but with Cap +regch LR DP, and tohit is understandable.
On all our runs (even on speed MO) we leave blue tower (like here: http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/a...erIntact-2.jpg).
We were able to defeat LR with blue and red towers up (http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/a...erstanding.jpg). -
Destroying towers helps. Here is the information regarding towers buffs http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Statesman%27s_TF.
What tower left after 3 were destroyed?
If it was blue, it gives 30% To-Hit buff to LR, as well as 1000% rech (hardcapped at 400%)
Trick against LR adds is to kill LR faster -
Quote:ipconfig /flushdns didn't help me. Perhaps I had to close all browser windows, instead of only one I used to access the forums.I'm getting periods of 30 to 40 minutes with forum pages hanging and refusing to load. And then a few minutes where they're working ok. During that time when I can't get in http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com is saying that it can find the page OK.
For the past two days I've been experiencing immediate "can not find page" where the browser isn't even looking. That gets fixed with ipconfig /flushdns in a Command Window.
But the hanging on loading doesn't get fixed with a DNS flush.
Switching from Firefox to IE doesn't help, either. -
I'm having the same issue. I can view www.cityofheroes.com and boards.cityofheroes.com on one computer, but not on another.

Quote:What level are you?In quite random browsing of the wikis I ran across this as a precondition of getting to Ourboros, itself a precondition to getting the Alpha Slot. Apparently the easiest way to get it is to complete a quest which is now cut off because I am levelled up to high. This makes the whole chain moot. Am I supposed to start over? Beg a stranger to port me to Ourboros to get an explorer badge? I find this extremely disheartening and would like to know, short of those multiplayer quests at the high end of levelling, or the aforemention begging (which I will not do), is there a way of getting from where I am to where I need to be. Or have I wasted my time?
If you are less than 25, you can't use ouro portal anyway. -
Quote:In 99% of cases these are "vendor junk". You'll see hundreds of offers and zero bids on these recipes on market. You'll get more inf by just selling them to a vendor.I was talking about the Ouro day job badge, which states you will get a recipe drop for completing a mission for a short time if you log out in the Ouro. It doesn't affect your chance for a purple other than you've got one more change for a drop at the end of each mission.

I'm torn on this issue.
Firstly, I suck at buffing. I suffer from "scrapper lock" no matter what toon I'm playing. Also I'm usually on speed run teams, where everybody has SuperSpeed and are running all over the place. So, it is pretty hard for me to apply and maintain buffs in such situations. Probably, due to that, my fire/kin is least played character I have.
Secondly, all shield buffs, SB, ID, O2, etc. aren't restricted only to team members. You can buff anyone you want. What I'm afraid of, is if devs changed these buffs to toggle or to PBAoE, these buffs might get restricted to team members only. Mind Link, leadership toggles anyone?
Nevertheless, I'd very welcome increase in duration of SB, ID, etc. even if would cost more endurance to apply. -
