    Or, if you're playing a villain, go to the Black Market, buy the salvage and then head to Nerva where you'll find Granny Bedlam to turn them in to. If you use a base teleporter, it will dump you out right on her island I believe.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    But if you don't have an SG porter - head to the Natural store in nerva, then go north to the island with a shack! (It's a small island too).

    Could it be that your Firewall is requesting you to confirm CoH accessing the internet, but the pop-up dialgue isn't visible because you are stuck in the fullscreen of CoH?

    I had that issue a few years ago with ZoneAlarm. The game would start loading, and then just get stuck. In the background (though I didn't see that), ZoneAlarm was waiting for a reply if, or if not CoH.exe should be allowed internetaccess.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah - try opening your firewall and looking through program properties for the game's exe and see if it has permissions or not.

    Actually... didn't the CoH Pre-order version have a prestige sprint? Particle Slide, or whatever it was called?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    There are five prestige sprints. Four were for the pre-order (depending on where you got the pre-order you received a different sprint.)

    However, those were never sold as a part of ANY micro-transaction (they were a free part of the free pre-order).

    Then there is Prestige Power Slide - which was part of the CoH DVD edition released after the initial launch - and they had a goodie pack for the extras. However, it is no longer for sale (wasn't available for long) because it included all the extras including a hero-clix figure of Capeless Statesman. So it wasn't a pure-digital thing like the Wedding pack forward.

    I would think this is a general question and should and is answered here instead of making a big deal and asking it to be moved to base construct section lol.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, if it had been in the base section, they would of gotten an answer in 1 post, not 4 or whatever.



    [/ QUOTE ] They did get the answer in the first reply... one minute later.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    They got a link to the answer, not the answer itself!

    As long as you're not gaining any benefit from it and it's not interfering with others playing the game, it should be fine.

    [/ QUOTE ] This. If it was attacking people, it'd be considered griefing, and you could get in trouble if somebody /petitioned you for it... but this scenario seems harmless.

    [/ QUOTE ]Especially since it doesn't attack anyone.

    [/ QUOTE ] Indeed. I assumed people already knew that.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I work in a Pizza Parlor and a spa store.

    I long ago learned to not assume such things without prior knowledge of who I am dealing with. It's not uncommon to get people comming into the pizza parlor, for example, asking for their pizza, which we don't have.

    Never mind the fact that it quite clearly lists the street locations next to the phone numbers (quite a difference between the North and South stores where I'm at) or that some don't even notice the name of the store when look it up and call in! Abby's vs. Angelo's - same first letter must be the same chain.

    I won't touch the spa store... some people don't understand basic things like "warm water can breed massive bacteria and/or algae.

    Eh I personally don't see why the Devs felt they had time to tinker with this old emote when they still haven't made it so that a person can use the juggle emotes while Hovering. *shrugs*

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Pretty sure BAB said they fixed it - but forgot to change one last bit from "0" to "1" or some such.

    Kinda like filling the hot tub up, but then forgetting to re-connect the disconnect and noticing it isn't working a few hours later.

    You can do everything with standard SOs as well. I mean.. at one point, that was the best thing we had anyway.


    [/ QUOTE ]Actually, as I recall we have always had HOs and CTOs

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Originally the level cap was 40, so Hami didn't exist yet... correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Hami came in with issue 1?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    From here, this:

    I haven't tried the new alakazamreact yet, but I like the variety. What I don't like is when they made it last for only a few seconds. I'm pretty sure when it was first introduced it would last untill you moved or something happened to you.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes. When first introduced you did indeed remain as a pumpkin until you moved. The rumor as to why that aspect was removed is that players in pvp were using it to be able to hide behind short walls and objects or in shallow water. Since only their name would be visible they were a lot harder to spot when moving quickly around.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Wonder if it would be possible for them to PvP-zone-ize the emote, letting us have the "Until-you-move" version back in PvE.

    First person I've seen that hasn't seen this as a nice and hilarious improvement. I, personally, found it a nice touch.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Or, maybe, they could have added a new emote for the random stuff and leave the old emote untouched.

    [/ QUOTE ]Or let us have emotes like /react pumpkin and such when we want to choose.

    its math the snipers can see yuou and so can drones and all those annying baddies tell your freind to take super speed and it helps increase the stelth factor to the point were only really high preseption can see him

    [/ QUOTE ]Actually, Superspeed doesn't help versus drones and a very few other "perceptive" mobs - Rikti Drones ignore the effect of Stealth on their perception ranges.

    Positron has already said there's an issue 16 coming before Going Rogue.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not quite, he said that GR wasn't Issue 16, not that I16 would be before GR. Theres a chance they could come out together, like CoV and Issue 6.

    We will have to wait for July (OMG! Thats tomorrow!!!!) at least, to find out for sure either way.

    Codes?

    Anyone know wtf this guy was talking about?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, and I doubt he knew what he was talking about either.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    This.

    The only other codes that come to mind are the game codes used to upgrade/open an account. Since those are one-time use i doubt those are what he meant either. i think you just ended up on one of those teams made up of misinformed fools who've invented nonexistent features/cheats for the game.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's not invented! They Exist! For example, if you type Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious after using a Tier 1 blaster attack but BEFORE it hits and the hit kills the npc on an odd second (based on server time) you get a purple drop! Every time! But you have to type it by hand when you do it, you can't use macros, binds, copy/paste, or the Up/Enter trick. But once you try, fail or no, you have to wait 48 hours before it works for your account again.

    They supposedly fixed the MM bot/seeker drone problem too - but I haven't had a chance to check it yet.

    [/ QUOTE ]Thought that was i14? Well, anyway - they finally just gt rid of collusion with them (for the whole sub-pet class, I think) so they have no actual "physical" presence.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Heehee. Collusion.

    [/ QUOTE ]They were in on a deal with wyvern to degrade the effectiveness of villians while pretending to be on the villians' side.

    Help!

    Right-click and choose create new tab and fill with the channels you need -when done "drag" it down and it will auto-split.

    you can also go menu -&gt; options, and at the bottom use the load window and then load chat defialts. If you cusomize your set up, you can go to a character with it working properly and choose "save to" for all those options first. Note when you load from defualts it overwrites all your window and chat setups for that charact. If you save a custom setup to defualt it will load that for new characters (window, chat, and option defualts).

    I said that designing and implementing a system that prevents what the devs consider abusive behavior would be much more effective than relying on players policing themselves. That is not in any way unrealistic, and it is what they SHOULD have done before releasing MA.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Yeah, actually, it is very unrealistic. You can design the system to stop some forms of abusive behavior (like how they removed prisoners from the system with the last update) but removing all of them is quite impossible. You've got to have human beings doing the policing. Unless you feel like hiring a staff of mission reviewers, having players do it is the only way to go.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That only depends on how realistic a definition of abusive behavior is used to begin with. Limit it to clearly defined criteria, and it is feasible. Try and include something that prevents any &amp; all types of abusive behavior and it quickly crosses over into completely unrealistic.

    [/ QUOTE ]The thing is, abuse of a game system is like pornography vs erotica/art - you know it when you see it. You cannot set down clear, specific, criteria (such as Positron's example of defining 4 levels in 30 minutes) without people abusing the criteria (making sure to take 31+ minutes to level four times. ) Which is why it is unrealistic to expect ridig guideline in the MA.

    Does the same apply to True Grit?

    [/ QUOTE ]As I recall True Grit is an auto power (if it is not a click or toggle it's an auto power) so yes.

    All 120s (Unique or not) work this way.

    email filters, seperate ignore lists, you know the easy stuff.

    [/ QUOTE ] And you base this off what experience with the City of Heroes code?


    One nice feature (2 actually) is they now have a smaller "teammate" arrow for hostages/rescues/NPC Allies and mission objectives are splat-marked on mission maps like missions are on zone maps.
