    I think I got cussed out once for doing that.

    So I did something like "Fortune Teller Mish! 7s/Good time had by all for no charge each!".

    Was it Hobo or H8mail? Maybe someone else entirely... anyway, one person used this for his "character" - a item which possessed it's "users". So the different genders and what not make sense.

    Anything which is doable at any level is always in the 45-50 range, as missions only become available in ouro at the top of their level range.

    Except, that wouldn't make sense, as the port surrounds TV.

    The dam has always been the southern half of Faultline.
  6. Behindthename.com Was searching for a name for my Dark/Dark defender, and one of the names came up with being from the words "Rajani" and "Isha".

    Hope no one trips over that H. Have no clue where I left it X.X

    Again, thank you. I love how helpful people on these boards are.
    Don't forget - if you want to reactivate it for her, and it's been inactive for more than 90 days, the account qualifies for the bonus time for reactivation.

    Of course add in the fact that their perception is through the rough so they swarm all over you from half a map away and it really gets to suck.
    It's not through the roof, IIRC. They're just one of the ones set to ignore stealth values X.X

    The Caltrops bit is what gets me with KoA. My level scrapper fifty once almost died to three KoA. Because they manage to pin him in a rectangle bordered with a stone ledge. Nothing big, but just enough that I needed to jump to get out of it, and they were just beyond melee range. It was worse, I think, because he was Dark/Dark, so if I couldn't hit, I couldn't heal (Had no greens at the time, I think.)

    These three annoy me. As a mention of theDemolitionists, the Foreman boss is just as bad, getting the ability to keep out two burn patches.

    Centurians, the big thing is the healing and rezzing surgeons.

    KK sucks. Also fighting Sefu.

    What about some pointed ears ala some (non-lodoss war) elves and Vulcans, so you can make an elf who doesn't risk a "you poked my eye out" turning their head?

    Please?

    Not all temps are re-earnable through Ouro, as Aggie said.

    And the duration isn't cut in half on re-earned powers, necessarily. Some powers have "echos" that awarded after the first time you earn the power instead.

    list of temp powers, including which ones are Ouro-obtainable and which of those give "echos"

    The Nemesis Staff is not listed as a re-obtainable.
  15. 1 - If you are able to log in, petition from there.

    2 - Sign up at the Euro support site and ask there how to get a link to the US that won't redirect you based on IP.

    Seriously, let it do it's thing, as long as it takes.

    This game is a metric tonne of fun, and has a great community to boot.

    As this game evolves, it has gotten more customizable, larger, crazier, and with a huge variety of challenges and activities.

    If you have any questions or concerns, there is the help channel.

    Type /hc Where can I get a jetpack? for example.
    Yeah, that's the most not-obvious thing right now. the normal methods for typing in help are broked, so you need to type /hc to get into the Help Channel.

    It's a formatting habit.

    Specifically, adding them in messing nothing up that I know of, but not having them up will mess up some binds/macros.

    Try this. Stop the download, close the updater and look in the CoH folder. Delete the Coh.checksum file, and then start the updater again. It should then take some time to verify the files it has already downloaded before starting in on the ones it hasn't downloaded.
    This.

    In normal operation, if the file doesn't it exist (such as with an install), it would download the new/current one.

    If you know someone with an install of the game, search for the tags "Test Server" and "Install" and the guide should show up for doing it the quick way.
    Also good to do if you want to use the test server

    This is ridiculous they should provide a direct link to download these as it would be so much quicker and GetRight does what the updater does anyway so it picks up where it last left off.

    They advise in the forum to copy your directory if you are going to restore from one PC to another so that tells me that the files should be generic enough to allow a straight download.

    They already have a download site http://download.cityofheroes.com so I cant see why they dont just put a zip file with the update files in there or split it over a number of zip files to make this process easier and quicker.
    I don't see how that would make it faster. GetRight I'm guessing is a download manager... most places I know of like to ban those from connecting because their methods tend to mess up their bandwidth.

    The patcher does several functions, including pre-downloads for the major content updates.

    The patcher, for you right now, isn't downloading a patch, it's downloading the whole game (direct copy of the most current patched client). There system isn't like EQ (or WoW? Don't know, tried it once and didn't buy it) where it download the client, installs it, then requires you to download all the patches in sequence. And the files, IIRC, are already compressed, so zips wouldn't do much if anything.
