  1. Now? No.

    Character in Primal Earth will be able to access Praetoria in some fashion come i19, however.

    On SGs - Kinda. You are not booted (but the "Super Leader" is demoted) and cannot access your SG's base if you are not of the the proper alignment (either hero/vigi or villain/rogue).

    I think it was mentioned that all the pool powers was considered to be about 3.5 powersets worth - not sure about APPs.

    The main issue is coding to make it workable without having the character data possibly include data for every customizable pool power in the game.

    On the plus side we can probably get alternate hover and fly poses when it happens based on the alternate animation tech.
  3. I've not been able to, but there have been several couple s that met here in City of Heroes first.

    And several of my Sg have met up - one even moved in with another.

    Yes, blue numbers in the combat attribute window means you are at the cap for that attribute, for that level. Most attributes have a lower cap until 20, and others scale based purely on level (Speed caps are one of these).

In a click, they pulse when you click, but expire after a set duration until you click again. This is nothing new, and sure as hell not unique to the IO in question. Check the wiki, this behavior has been explained there for ages.

    Edit: Minor correction, some special IOs are always on, period. Some are "procs", which trigger as I explained above. The one in question falls into the latter category. They won't necessarily say outright that they're a proc, which is kinda why you need to check up on these things rather than making assumptions.

    Here, Proc IOs explained: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Invent...ncements#Procs
    There are three types of IOs.

    Procs - the "Chance to's" - these are what have the short self-buffs.

    120s - Activation follows the same rules as procs, always afect the user, and duration is either Perma (in auto powers), as long as the power is on (in toggles) or for 120 seconds after the power is used (in clicks) - these all say "for 120s".

    Globals - they work as a set bonus, differentiated from 120s by the lack of a listed duration.

    Aegis is a Global - listed in the WIKI you just linked to as a global, not "Special" or "See notes".

    Based on THE REST OF THE GAME, it's bugged.

    I also always shake my head at the touch of death proc. only one with a 15% chance to fire instead of 20%. If it is because of doing negative energy, the dev's are on drugs because Lady Grey's proc has 20% and it also deals negative.

    Personally, I think almost all the procs need a little rebalancing. Not a lot, but a small nudge.
    Lady Gray is also not optimal for melee attacks, and there are less powers that Fit Lady Gray than Touch of Death.

    Now there's nothing wrong with wanting to reclaim those enhancements. I reclaim all of mine when I decide to delete a character, but I don't burn thru respecs like some people do. The Vetspecs, Trialspecs, and Freespecs have always been more than enough for me.

    Trial Respecs - earned, up to 3 possible
    Veteran Respecs - earned, up to 5 possible (at 69 months)
    Patron Respecs - earned, 1 possible (Requires Trip Villain side)
    Soldiers of Arachnos Respec - FORCED@Level 24, 1 possible (Villain only)
    Purchased Respec - earned, theoretically unlimited
    Free Respec - free (A character can only have 1 at a time and they do not stack)
    Respec Recipes - free (These cannot be crafted if the character already has a free respec available)
    Holiday Respec - free (These cannot be purchased at the Candy Keeper if the character already has a free respec available)
    Fixed.

    And is there any new content for heroes side lately? I enjoy it but found the missions a bit repetitive, I know there are player story archs now so are those pretty fun?
    The doppleganger arcs are fun (contacts are in Talos for Heroes)

    New arcs coming with Issue 19.

    The level 50 Arcs dealing with Praetoria got updated real nice

    Main difference between Corruptors and Defenders - Corruptors get Scourge - a Crit that can happen if your target has less than half health. Also, they base attack numbers are greater than, and base buff/debuff numbers are less than, Defenders.

    Defenders get vigilance - a 30% (at level 20, it scales up to there from level 1) damage buff that goes 10% for each of your first three teammates. It also gives you a endurance discount when one or more teammates have damage - the more damage (and more teammates damaged) the bigger the discount.

    Title saids it all though thanks all.


    On the bold bit - if you buy (either through the digital NCSoft store OR another route) Going Rogue - COMPLETE EDITION (CE) and NOT the expansion, you will get 30 days included in the price. This applies to ALL accounts - both new accounts and upgraded.

    And it includes the item pack (worth about $7 US).

    So the better value is the one with the base price of $40, not $30 - the $30 "expansion only" version was for pre-purchasers who were granted early access - no more early access, so it's not worth it.

    Thanks again to all.
    It's part of the trade off for doing random vs. specific.

    I think that's a very "unsafe" bet.

    That's a Thursday, way to close to Friday, methinks.

    I could see the 14, if something took overlong. But mostly likely the first two weeks of December if not next week.
  13. If the mez protection is turning off, and you are not exemplared below the enhancement's minimum slotting level, bug it. It's not supposed to be 10 seconds after a click - that's clearly bugged.

    My guess? Since the Auction houses were always global, you (for example) would click on the NPC to open the window, which would send a signal to the EU data center, then from there to the East Coast of the USA, then back to the EU, then to you.

    Now they are pretty much in the same spot, so less transit time.
  15. One thing the others didn't mention - the Red Names have stated that once the loading bar starts moving, it's pretty much all your machine

    Actually, it's 50% Knowing, 25% Red Lasers, and 25% Blue Lasers.
  18. There is also a chance that anyone existing without fitness won't get it until they next level up.
  19. Also - check how your ram is in your case - and maybe get some more RAM - Upgrading from 1 to 2 GB on my winXP system did a lot for speed, it seems.

    Also, the default binding for Shift+Numbers is the corresponding teammate according to the window (Shift+1 - person in the number 1 spot on the team window, all the way to 8) - can't team quit that way.

    I ask this because I like to wipe my hard drive every 6 months and don't want to pay for another digital copy. Ill spend the extra $10 in the store to get the DVD if I have to but would like to know if I download the digital copy is it there as long as I keep up my account?

    2. I see Going Rouge has a price on it. Will I have to pay the extra $15 a month on top of a COH/COV fee for this expansion?
    You can re-download the game (it's all one client, buying GR will simply enable the GR content for your account), even if your account is inactive, from your master account.

    As you can see here it's simply a link to download the appropriate client in the individual game's account details page.

    Buy the Going Rogue Complete Edition. The Expansion was (basically) for pre-purchasers only as it allowed early access to Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning. the CE is the expansion, PLUS a free month's sub PLUS the $8 or so item pack (which has some nice stuff in it)
