    Hellfrosts also show up in Potter's Field, but IME they're easier find at Villa Requin.
    The Villa is where I go as well. While there aren't any Hellfrosts on the dockyard side of the island, around the cliffs I usually get 8-10 per circuit of the island. And if you're on a high-level toon, it usually goes very quickly. Personally, I've never had much luck with Hordelings in Cap or Hellfrosts around Potter's and the Villa is the most consistent spawn area. But your mileage may vary of course.
  2. Thanks for all the exemplary work St0n3y, and for this shiny early release of the new Mids version! Sorry to see you leave the Mids team, but I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go, eh?

    Procs in Toggles

    Quote:
    Note that the Proc120s have been 'fixed' for Issue 18. They were never intended to last for 120 after a Toggle is shut off. They now immediately shut off when the Toggle is shut off.

    While the Toggle is on, they do continue to work the entire time the Toggle is on.

    In Passive powers, they are always on while the Passive is working.
    So they no longer roll a check to go off every 10 seconds in a toggle or auto-power? My confoozled.

    Procs in Toggles

    Procs slotted into toggles (or auto-powers for that matter) will check every 10 seconds with a chance to go off, and when they do, they last for 120 seconds, making them effectively perma.

    Guassian's Chance for Buildup is an exception though, only lasting for a few seconds at a time and only has a 5% chance to proc (i think 5%?), making it proc off much less often than say a Numina's +/+ or Miracle +Recovery.

    Either broadsword or katana, whichever is more technically convenient: More graceful attacks usable for a fencer type of character.
    For Katana in my opinion, just because it is more "finesse friendly". Broadswords are generally more brute force. Either way, I'd be down for a more graceful and flowing attack chain.

    Add the rest of the powerset to it as well in my opinion, excepting perhaps Repel, the animation for which I think suits the power already. But Siphon Power, Siphon Speed, Speed Boost, Increase Density and Inertial Reduction in addition to the three Riverdancer mentioned. I can't think of how they may be given alternates, but being a total Kinetic ***** I would love to be able to do more than just give my little army of Kins different colors.

    And I didn't see it mentioned in the list and I'm not sure if it belongs, but how about changing the animation for Rise to the Challenge being toggled on? Perhaps without being rooted as well? I don't mind the animation as is, but perhaps something more akin to Strength of Will. Basically something more appropriate to the name of the power, where it would seem your really ARE rising to the challenge of defeating your foes. As for the rooting, I see little point in that considering every other Willpower toggle doesn't root you for those couple of seconds.

    And I wholeheartedly agree with everyone else that has brought up eye beams as a possible alternate for blast attacks of all sorts, excepting perhaps Psionics.

    Oh, and definitely either make powers like Super Speed and Hasten tintable or give us a minimal-FX version.

    Its the "Crackers" being on the same board as "Asian Foods" and "Hispanic Foods". Crackers is used as a slang term (could also be considered racist depending on the context and is usually Crackah) for white people by some, along the lines of Wop and the dreaded N-bomb.
  9. Another option would be to edit your playerslot.txt file. That file is nothing more than the order that your characters are displayed in the character select screen. You may not have such a file though, as it seems that the game doesn't create them automatically. So here's the instructions on where to create the file and such:

    -- Go to your CoH program folder (usually C->Program Files->City of Heroes) and find the folder with your login name (like in my case its named "pyber").

    -- Open that folder and inside create a blank notepad file and save it as "playerslot.txt" (its important that it is created blank with no text in the file!)

    -- Boot up the game and go to your character select screen. Then exit the game.

    -- Return to the folder where you created the playerslot.txt file and open it.

    -- You should now have a list of all your characters on the server that you logged into. Simply change the number within the quotation marks to change what slot that character will be in on the character select screen. Save and close.

    -- Repeat the last three steps for each server you want to reorder character slots on.

    Hope that's what you're looking for and that it helps!


    EDIT: If you find that you do have a playerslot.txt file already, simply edit the existing one per the last couple steps.

    As for customization, new powers and new costumes are all I can really think of. Still no customization for pool powers or EPP/PPP's. Unless I missed that on the Beta server these last few weeks?

    Um. What am I missing here? The cape and aura missions are on a per-character basis - why is that a problem? And if it's a problem, should we then complain that all badges and accolades are on a per-character basis as well? Surely some of those badges are far more tedious to get than doing a few missions...
    Its not that. The OP already had done the old cape mission on this specific toon and now can't understand why he's (I'm assuming "he" of course, heh) being forced to do the new version of the cape mission prior to doing the aura mission.

    rikti invasion

    I haven't heard about either event coming up, but with four new powersets on the way I could see a 2xp weekend being on the schedule for sometime after the 17th. Perhaps sometime in September?

    What's the best archetype and server for seeing the most TFs (while still being able to do as many regular missions as possible)?
    Well any server is fine to play on, but if you want a larger population available to team with for missions and T/SF's, Freedom and Virtue are the most populous.

    If you had to start red or blue, which would it be?
    Red, but that's a personal preference as I like redside just a little more, as well as the AT's.

    What aggression? There's a post with an explanation as to why it works the way it does, a couple of jokingly sarcastic comments (including in my own post) and that's pretty much it. Seriously, the only thing that could even be considered aggressive (and probably wasn't intended in that way) was the 15 minutes comment. So you might want to reign in the horses there a little before saying we're all being aggressive.

  19. It was done just to offend you

    Personally, I don't care. It only takes a few minutes to complete and its not like that's too much time out of your life.

    Polls

    Not that I'm aware of, short of doing it the old fashioned way and tallying votes as they're posted in a thread. You might use some external polling site, if there are such things, and link it in your thread. Not sure if that'd work or if its allowed though.
  21. Not sure what the cap is on height, but your max jump speed at 50 is 78.18 mph. The ceiling for vertical movement is around 200ft if I'm not mistaken (might be 400, but can't recall at the moment).

    That figure includes AM (30%) and Hasten (70%) so I had to find ~106% recharge. The pricey parts were the 3 LoTG recharge and the Miracle and Numina uniques so I'd have the end to handle that level of recharge.
    That's more or less the boat my Kin/Sonic was in when I started slotting her. Thus far I've spent maybe 500mil on her build and she's about 6 seconds short of perma. That last little bit will probably be expensive though since I'm out of places to slot cheaper sets for recharge, heh.

    To some people though even 500-750mil is a lot of Infamy/Influence. I remember my first 6 months in game I was stoked just to have 20 or 30mil in my mains wallet. XD
  23. Huh, I'm at a loss then. You might try asking on the Tech section of the forums. The folks lurking there are generally better versed in bugs like this. In the meantime, you can petition CS to see if they'll move your Warshade to another zone so you can log him in.

    Always nice when you can cut a few deals to lessen the costs of any build, hehe.
  25. That .dll file is related to you Nvidia graphics. Have you updated your drivers recently? If you haven't, its something you should probably do. If you have, you might want to try rolling back your drivers and reinstalling the new ones and see if the problem persists.
