  1. They've mentioned you can. In the section about what is allowed to start preatorian, it's mention that although you must start a *EAT on it's respective side, they can go rogue.
  2. My biggest issue is the game does not like me selling Enhancements. Two characters I was working on the upper ACC IO badges frequently have "Tell me what you are doing" crashes... and recently had it happen to another character get that on a regular SO being added to the market (some times I can get none in, sometimes up to four before it crashes. occasionally no issues at all...)

    The reason behind the grav control is, IIRC, the fact that the bosses of the family have a purer, less dangerous (to the user) form of Dyne.
  5. I think jade was meaning /bind with those /macros difference being one creates a power icon to use and binds change what a keystroke does.
  6. You could also try a rotating bind if the combo-bind isn't working reliably for you.

    Thanks,

    Edit: It was trying to download the whole game again into the folder C:Program files/city of heroes/city of heroes, now that i've sorted that out it says "Error reading COHupdater.exe, you may be out of disk space or not have permissions or whatever"
    My laptop is brand new, has 4gb of RAM and 290gb free hdd space.

    Again, help help would be appreciated


    Edit: I worked it out for myself, needed to move the original updater I downloaded to initially download the client into the main city of heroes folder, this bug really shouldn't happen with a Pay to Play game. The original updater should be copied or moved to the selected installation folder automatically and until that can be done a sufficient guide should be provided for the faulty game installation.
    Its a rare-ish bug. It is also solvable by renaming the CoH Updater in the folder (oldcohupdater.exe or something like that) and running it (you might need to delete the checksum file as well). I've been here 5.5 years and had to do it once. First time I remember hearing it happen to someone during install.

    It's because you said respec recipe. The trials reward you with a respec.

    Recipes have to be crafted (for a low sum of inf only, IIRC) and count as a "Freespec" not a earned respec (you can use /respec on freespecs only). Also, can't craft a Respec recipe if you have an already existing freespec (only 1 freespec at a time. "Earned" respecs stack).

    Nope, contacts only character about your security or threat level (trained level) not your combat (SSK'd) level.

    I know for players Streakbreaker will always kick in... (Just takes a loooong time if you've less than about 70% chance).

    But I was WP, and I don't think any of our buffers were FF or Ice... so my defense was about 15%. And even without streakbreaker, there is that 5% chance.

    Keep in mind you have to give the power a moment to recharge, but if you press it early the power will queue and go off when recharged.

    Also, like Rajani mentioned, you can put filters in by changing the target command a little, for example:
    /bind KEY "+$$target_custom_next friend alive notmypet teammate$$powexecname Speed Boost"

    Edit:
    I just tested, and the macro version of the same command string does not work correctly at all. I guess you are better off binding it to a key instead. Personally, on my buffing toons, I use the 1234 keys for various buffs.
    did you toss in a bug report on that?

    And must be done at a trainer/arbiter.
  14. Few notes :

    Travel Powers - In addition to fly for running the Atlas Park Safeguard/Mayhem while TRAINED UP to level 5+, you can get a Super Jump temp power for being trained up to level 10+ and running the Kings Row mission. Note, the temp power awards based on your trained up (Security or Threat Level that gets you new powers and enhancement slots) level, not your combat (DING! More Hp/Damage/etc level - you have a green arrow pointing up in the HP/End/Menu bar).

    Safeguards vs. Mayhems

    Biggest difference is this : Safeguards, RUN TO THE BANK. Kill the mobs inside.

    Mayhem, walk to the bank, defeat mobs on the way. In mayhems, longbow spawn ambushes when you pass certain points.

    For Flashback, there are some mission in this game that are not part of a story arc, nor do they give a badge. However, they still might give a nice temp power. Unfortunately for those wanting to flashback the temp powers, no badge nor a story arc means no flashback.

    Welcome to the game!

    We don't really RP, but if you want to find a team on either of those servers, you can also try www.repeat-offenders.net - and we don't get jealous if you belong to other SGs as well. Although I've been told my PPD:A (paragon special forces cop) and his speech patterns (formerly brainwashed by rikti, basically) are Lethal:Very. Target:Teammates

    !
  15. Out of curiosity - do the ambushes purposely agro the stalker, or was I just lucky that time? (Oh look, a kill switch! Oh look, massive number of attacks to break through my defense via Streakbreaker! Guess which takes less time to happen?)

    Correct - the mission where he counts is, IIRC, one where Neuron is also in there, and as I recall Anti-matter is NOT a mission objective for that mission.
  20. My guess is if they open up pools on the other side for heroes and villains, it wil end up in the situation of you will finally have some form of Patron AND ancillary pool for both sides. Or maybe that's one of the benefits of not switching... *shrug*

    Let me get this straight... you thought *I* was being serious.... me!?... and this is somehow MY fault? Did you perhaps mistake me for some other Steelclaw?

    ? So you already bought a Euro copy of the game? Because last we heard, you were still simply on a trial version - and trials are free.
