  2. Any ETA for this bug? (If a dev or rep happens to peruse this thread that is)
  3. This is a known issue with the new SSK system, since gaining XP while exemped was never originally part of the exemp system. This has been happening to every character that levels while exmped. No normal leveling animation nor leveling inspirations.

    On a brighter note, congratulations on making level 50 with your Brute!

    I would assume so; it's why the map was pulled in the first place. Couldn't see them re-releasing it without fixes.
  5. Frak, now they re-release the Hero lab, after I submit my arc for the contest
  6. Only one entry here: The War on Superadine (Arc ID 151088) - Best In-Canon Arc, based upon the "Just Said No to Superadine" and "Scholar" plaques.

    Indeed. Homages are usually alright, but just plain copies are a no-no.

    See examples:

    UltraBatz
    Starsman
    Thor's Assassin
    etc.
  10. Budo needs to change his Location methinks
  11. Yes, there are a lot of good ideas around here. I for one would like to know who has a trial account in case I'm feeling generous, because there's only so much Inf a trial account can have. I just hate over-promising when I can't actually give them more than 50k Inf
  12. Heh, and someone thought the comments on MMORPG.com sounded trite and/ or snobbish

    I for one support our new Guest Author overlords. Finally, the fruits of Comic Con pay off for Paragon Studios It will be something fun to try out between 2XP Weekend and the Halloween event
  13. Thanks! I got a lot of positive remarks and PMs from this thread. But I don't want to derail Turbo's thread, so I made another post in the Sexy Base Pics thread to showcase all of my recent base pics.
  14. I made a pipe organ


    I posted the rest of my recent base pics in this thread.
  15. Not sure why this thread isn't stikied... but whatever

    Anyhow, it's been a while since I've been pretty happy with my entire base. Usually I leave a room or two unfinished because I can't find the inspiration necessary to make it look decent. However, between inspirations from cathedrals and the movie Wanted (of all places), I finally have the base nailed down.

    You can find the gallery here, complete with descriptions of everything, but I'll post a few pics here directly as well.


    Grand Hall


    Great Library


    Workshop


    Pipe Organ
    You can see the rest of the pics in the aforementioned gallery. Enjoy
  16. One idea that's been tossed around: Customizable chat bubble borders - not just the color, but the type also.
  17. Thanks to the improved formatting afforded by the new forums, I'll be making a new slash commands guide... but not until GR starts testing. There haven't been any significant slash command updates for I14-16, and I would hate to start work now only to have to redo it after GR.

    So stay tuned for something once open beta begins (as I'll probably work on it during closed beta).
  18. Ima pre-order the Collector's Edition

    Posting pictures

    Taking pics is easy - just line up the picture (either in edit mode or not) and use the Print Screen key - it's the default key for taking in-game shots.

    Then, navigate to your screenshots folder (default location is C:/Program Files/City of Heroes/screenshots).

    Posting them is tricky - you'll need a photo hosting web site like Flikr or Photobucket. In either case, once you have an account, you'll be able to upload photos to it - or screenshots in your case.

    Once you upload the photos to your account you'll have a URL to share with others. either use the [url] or [img] tags on the forums to link or show the photo directly in your post, respectively.

    Use the "Print Screen" button while testing or playing the arc. Remember that style will most likely count, so take some good screenshots.

    You can find the screenshots in their respective folder (default path is C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\screenshots) so that you can attach them into your email entry.
  22. I would think that a 3rd party developer might be the only way we see an offline MA kit. I doubt the developers would want to worry about two different code bases when they make changes within the MA, since one gives them enough troubles already
  23. Agreed.. unless of course they're trick-or-treating as beggars. I remember being a hobo one year - what an easy costume.

    Thanks for that bit of closure BAB!

    Note to self... don't mess with the dev's snacks! EVER!
  25. Welcome! Hope you stick around longer then Dr. Brainstorm

    J/K! Welcome aboard!

    What can we expect to see as far as the recent XP changes to custom critters are concerned? Will there be a less "draconian" way of granting certain powers to custom critters and basing the XP gain off of the selected powers themselves? This has been a big concern for more than a few mission architects.
