    IOM would be "Instanced Outdoor Mission".

    Bah, this cost me money. Made me realize I have no Sinatra on my iPhone, and you never know when you might need it.

    I can sympathize with you over the people who don't turn off visually flashy powers in the market. It's aggravating to me too.

    But I ask again. Why not actual SUPPRESSION instead of switching them OFF?
    Because at the moment, supression either turns a power off, or merely makes it have no combat effect. If it was the latter, it would still have it's gFX/sFX

    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Categoryefinition

    Has a list of definitions of common terms.

    Also, there are three URLs people find when looking for a CoH wiki.

    www.paragonwiki.com

    wiki.cohtitan.com

    and the cityofheroes.wikia.com one

    The first two are the same site. The third is a clone filled with malware and frequently has it's ads hacked to download virus, etc. Avoid Wikia.

    But if it's really something that's only being talked about as a possibility at this point, then yeah maybe we need to convince them that it's something that should be moved up the list.

    The power customization system is NOT complete without pool customization.
    The main thing, as far as we know, holding up Power pool customization is coding time - the interface needs to deal with add OR subtract the needed info to the character, as well as manipulating them. Do you choose when you gain the power? You don't have them at creation. Do you force them to go to the tailor?

    And it's not like coding time is freely available at any time otherwise, either.

    Old threads are funny sometimes :

    I was referring mostly to the granting of rights of the IP.

    This is what they went after.

    Essentially, they were trying to sue Crayola for that spiderman doodle the kid did in kindergarten.

I can't for the life of me figure out how I can be x0 players and the only way to fix the problem is to be able to visit someone to change the difficulty. I have submitted this as a bug but never heard anything on it.
    x0 just means you've never set your rep at a rep npc.

    Also, in the "Development" subforum (City of Heroes - > English - > Development) is the Tech Issues and Bugs forum - they are your best bet for help.

    I've read something about tokens.. but don't know where to "see" these.. and I don't want to wrack up CC charges if there is a different way to access them.

    Peace
    On anything in the in-game store there will be a screen that says "These charges are final, etc, if you push the button" - freebie tokens always show up before that.

Change it to using a similar system, tie the slots to the account not the store.
    The costumes/boosters are simple account wide flags. Slots, not so much.

    Not arbitrarily. It took them a while to hook us up with vet slots after they made purchasable slots available becuase they had to hook up the vet system with the store. The vet system gives you, essentially, a "1 Free Slot" coupon.

    You REALLY need to get the server transfers working and the store open, there is mutinous talk about.

    If you are the legitimate owner of the IP, then you have the ability to enter into a contract transfering ownership of the IP.
    Which is part of why you are not allowed by the EULA to create characters whose IP you do not control.

    Of course, the closest any of this got tested was when Marvel sued Cryptic/NCSoft... Would of been interesting to see how that one ended up. After all, Marvel owns the characters it's underlings were told to make in game

  17. You bought via the store at www.ncsoft.com?

    It should of prompted you to apply the code to your account there. If you've logged in, it's all downloaded already (for ease of use, the client includes things you don't have access too anyway - helps with this kinda thing).

    Check your master account and see if it a) has any serial codes available, or b) has been applied to your City of account.

    It's giving me the "In-game store is down" message - as such, any extra slots without characters are inaccessible.

    Ha!
  21. For the majority of sets, having an alternate "magic" animation would be nice - well, runic, specifically - like the Rune of Warding. For both blasts and other types of sets. If I'm not mistaken, you could make a collection of them (20?) and then tweak each one (if at all) for the different sets (Control sets, buff sets, blasts, etc.)
  22. They request three choices - note at the top of the forums is a "Member's List" link - check that to make sure the name you want is available.

    I wonder if they are tied to accounts. I got one for my second account recently as well.

    You bugged that, right?
