    Did it used to read the logs? Or am I think of the CoH terminal program?
  2. From what I understand, for the most part, doesn't Herostats just work off of reading the log files?

    Even if it increases as you increase mass, it could still be more efficient - especially when crossing dimensions - to do one big one rather than many.

    It might take five gold coins per person either way, but not having to pay the ten gold coin start up fee two thousand times makes it cheaper to do it all at once.

    So.. you've just volunteered to do the Mac port for those?

    Do you have a trial account?

    If so, then you shouldn't be making an account, but upgrading the trial.

    Go to your CoH/V account page. on the Right side of all pages is a box listing your accounts and a few other things. Click on your CoH/V icon (I've circled mine in yellow).

    On the page, click upgrade account (circled in red).



    Please note I've blanked out all personal references to my own account - for example, in the circled yellow area it will have your account name.

  8. At the very least the OP would have to re-sub to get into the beta if invited.

    But I keep the game subbed, personally, for the reasons stated above.
  11. If they came out with phone apps for it, I would choose to use it. Watches, keychains... those all I lose and lose often. My iPhone? Always by my side.

    I would not mind it as an option.

    You could probably tighten that up with vent, I would think.

    This line reminds me of this, kinda.

    There's nothing more annoying when teaming that the scenario described above especially if you're the tank. What does come in at a close second however is a tank that is hesitant to move forward which is somewhat understandable at lower lvls but IMO after lvl 20 (if not sooner) you should really be charging in full bore like it's your job, cuz it is

    Typically, when I'm tanking I ask "ready?" once at the start of each mission. Moving forward after that I go in at my pace unless someone gives me a compelling reason to slow down and am usually on the next group of mobs while what's left of the last group is falling stopping only when needed (i.e. someone dies).
    Well, for one, the "Make it the tank" doesn't work on Villains!

    The self-rezzing ones, yeah. Can't recall if it was .8 for minions, or 1.0.. - other ranks were reduced similarly.
  17. Um, from what I recall of the lowbie stuff, Snakes don't belong on that list.

    Unless you mean to take "citizens of paragon" literally and not include the Rogue Isles for a Villain-only group.

    Well, if he bought the $20 version he is fine.

    And for the sake of Praise or Complaints, much easier if they don't get a random name out of a list for each petitioner. Random/changing names would just add a layer of complexity that would cause issues more than anything.

    Not sure if it was ever set in stone, but there was talk of them adding a VoIP setup to the NC Launcher - not to the games themselves.

    RO has Vent, and a good number of us like to use it especially on TFs/SFs. For us, biggest issue is the fact everyone sets their mics to different levels of pickup, but you can boost/tone down people on the fly pretty easy. And it has a built in G15 plugin for those with a Logitech LCD.

IIRC partial objects are being displayed as well, where in Talos for instance it's an entire rock at a time that fades into view.
    It's Dark Watcher's Save the World mission that has the Nemesis Ambush after/as you defeat Hro'Dotz. And yeah, it's bits of the geometry/sometimes most of what you can (or rather, should see) just turning invisable, like someone flicked a switch. I've noticed at times this will even render the Rikti on the walkways (mostly notice this, personally, on the walkway to either side of the center, which have the portal generators for the Dark Watcher mission) invis... or rather, not render them visible X.X

    I was/am still able to tab to target, though. If I get run through it again, I'll try to remember to take screen shots.
  22. Don't read to much into it yet folks. If you recall, BAB also thought he found a way to make No-Redraw work, but found a biiig hiccup with it

All that together, in my opinion, makes it anything but "hard to find".
    Any other online options generally involve eBay or Amazon (read : possibly used. I know of a few sellers on Amazon, for example that have tried to tell people "Oh you can use the code more than once!"), and sell for $50+

    And you are right, they didn't mention selling out this year, so they should have them next year.
  24. I think so far I've only used them for day trips.

    You know, RO ITF on freedom, grab my virtue blaster to join in and level him up, etc :P

    I believe some people had friends pick one up for them if they couldn't attend HC.
    No promise on how many they will have though.

    And I meant can't get them from NCSoft Online.
