The gun is motivational, all MM based characters carry one, because sometimes you have that henchman that is so stupid, that the only way to educate him is to put a bullet in his head.

Like when after having failed you for the 100th time, he then waits until you are in the middle of your monologue and interrupt's with the stupidest question...
so you sigh,
take out you your pistol,
casually check that it is loaded,
say I'm sorry what was the question?
and a soon as the fool opens his mouth you put a bullet in his head.
You then promote the person that reports to that guy and give him the task of cleaning up the mess his predecessor left behind. (including the body)
You then smile and continue you monologue as if it hadn't been interrupted.

As much as he looks and sounds like Vader, Lord Recluse sometimes laments that he can't Force Choke people.

[/ QUOTE ]

Haven't you been to Orientation? Vader can't choke people to death, we just let him think he can.

Otherwise, he would probably start using his lightsaber which WOULD kill us.

Yes, as you noted, Patrol XP is disabled only during the double XP weekend. This is the sole exception for Patrol XP being universally available.

[/ QUOTE ] As I recall, you simply do not burn off Patrol Xp for bonus XP.

You still gain it, you still lose it to debt.

Seems a little foolish to puch a thread to 3 pages with posts that refuse to answer the OP's question.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not even one page!

[/ QUOTE ] I guess that depends on your forum preferences. For me, your post and mine are both on page 2 with my preference set for 20 per page (twice the default). Somebody viewing with the default preferences would be at page 4 now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kinda my point. Forgot to put a wink in there.

Listing "Oh my, it's X pages" to me has always been a horrible way to state how big a thread is. As you said, you've double the defualt at 20, I list pages at fifty a pop...

I might be the last person to notice that sign in the AE building. I was stunned to find that there is a separate AE area with power suppression. Very cool. Can we get one for the markets?

[/ QUOTE ]

I wish.
I think that power suppression in the markets have been suggested quite a while.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm pretty sure someone would find a way to exploit it, so it's a no-go.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, the black markets are completely open. Yes, they have a kill-field, but NPCs can still fire from outside to inside it without dying.

It doesn't sound like this bug fits either of those threads, but I would hate to have it being overlooked because it hasn't been reported in enough detail.

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't, so don't post there.

If you want to make sure it gets to the right person's attention, /bug it in game, and if you can on the boards PM it to Ghost Falcon (failing that, Nivene).

How do I make my graphics better in city of heroes.

I recommend you ask in the Tech and Bug Issues forums - and look up in there (should be in a link) info on how to get the Hijax This and CoH Helper logs.

Neither was Jafar. He was an ANGRY RED!

Of course, he was also a villain...and we all know that they're from the red-side...

[/ QUOTE ]


He wasn't a genie, he was a Djin.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, he was quite clear in his wish.

Jafar became a Genie of Complete and [Yadda Yadda Yadda] power.

Always made me wonder why the Katana powerset was left-handed as well. Unless they knew they were going to make Shields a long, long time ago and wanted to set the stage for no Kat/BS... [Puts on tin-foil hat]

[/ QUOTE ]

Because power customization looks quick and easy compared to having BackAlleyBrawler go and make Katana right-handed AND look good. Major "ready" and every-other-animation-or-stance-in-the-game issues.

Well, it does give an AT. However, if I type [dark embrace] on my blaster, it says "as used by level 27 Blaster". That, of course, can't be correct.

[/ QUOTE ]
It usually defaults to the AT you are currently using.

If you click on the AT name, it brings up a menu to let you select any other AT you want to view the stats for... regardless if that power is currently available to that AT or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

However, there is one issue, as I recall.

It defaults to the "first" version of that power. Which may list archetype specific additions (such as Tank's Gauntlet - even if you set "Barrage" from Energy Melee to "Brute", unless it is dragged from a brute's power listing simple [Barrage] will list this Single-target attack as an AoE due to it defaulting to listing the tank version.

However, any listed numbers should adjust for your AT and level, if they do so.

Tanks: They taunt more. Whoopie.

[/ QUOTE ] Considering the philosophy behind inherent abilities when this was made, it fixed the one issue tanks really had - people stealing agro then dying.

[ QUOTE ]
Controllers: Bonus damage for the one or two attacks they get. Admittedly, pretty decent if you're chaining AoEs.

[/ QUOTE ] No, bonus damage for any non-temp/inherent powers. This can really help when their controls start doing double damage. Also, they have Overpower - the "Control Crit" - 10 or 20 percent chance at +1 magnitude on all non-KB/KU controls.

[ QUOTE ]
Mastermind: +dmg and +ToHit. Masterminds run around doing bonus damage with bonus accuracy all the time.

[/ QUOTE ] For their pets - they don't benefit, as I recall. Which would mostly be an issue for their secondary.

[ QUOTE ]
Yet another bug caught by players in beta and reported that was allowed to go live - and still is a bug.

This is another example of why I don't bother testing and reporting on Beta because I feel that my work does not yield the desired result of catching bugs in beta testing - is there another reason for reporting bug in beta other than the DEVS fixing them before they go live?
Are we really supposed to feel excited about playing a beta and reporting bugs if they go live and continue to be issues long after going live?

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering this was one of those un-intended breakages due to another fix, this isn't a good example of your rant - it's not a serious enough issue for them to re-break what they fixed that broke this. Which always make it more "fun" to fix due to that.

[ QUOTE ]
Actually, Dispari is pretty on there, with only a few numbers being off. Blasters, Scrappers, and Controllers have decent/good inherents, whereas Defenders and Tankers got the junks. All of the villains have awesome inherent abilities, and/or are built around said inherent power (Fury, Domination, Assassination).

Originally, before the hero inherents were retooled, blue-side had only two good inherent powers (Critical, Containment). Since then, Defiance has jumped above both. Trying to compare Vigilance(Negligence) and Gauntlet(You Should Have Taken Taunt) to anything red-side is laughable.

[/ QUOTE ]

After containment, Vigilance was added for pretty much no other reason than players complaining Defenders didn't have an inherent power - the only thing developers ever saw defenders needing was more endurance when #@% hit the fan. They had no plans to give defenders any inherent.

Whereas other inherent powers are either designed around (Fury/Dom/Assasination), there for a coolness factor ( Scourge/Crits/Overpower), utility (Gauntlet/Supremacy/Overpower), Vigilance is the whine power.

And no power should ever a) be required, b) if required given outright or your 1st tier secondary power. That's part of why tanks have gauntlet. That, and even taunt caps at five targets

Vigilance is our nice "Be careful what you wish for" lesson as it didn't bite us in the A.

That and one of the developers' first big "Can't ever please the players" lesson.

They have done costume tokens for events.

The biggest one I can recall is the only time I can remember us only getting a flat amount of tokens, independent of the number of costume slots.

We got two for the Golden Age party.

thanks again everyone you all have been very helpful, it speaks volumes about the player base relative to some of the other games

[/ QUOTE ]

And THAT, in a nutshell, is why I'm still here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that, and the fact that you're a nut.

I do believe if you search for "BillZBubba" his signature contains a link to the reinstall/copy/test install guide. Searching for "Test" in the Guide to Guides thread in the Player's Guides forum should also net you this guide.

I am currently using a trial account. I was wondering if to get the free 30 days that comes with a new game, do you need to start a brand new account, or if you are on a trial account will it give you 30 free days to that account?

[/ QUOTE ]

First off, welcome to the game and to the forums!

If you Upgrade your trial account with the full serial code that you bought, then the free 30 days will be applied to the trial account. You don't need to make a new one.

[/ QUOTE ]

To take this one step further - except for the 30-day "GAME CARD" which you can use to start a new (or upgrade an existing) account (usually 20 bucks USD), you can apply any "full retail" code to your account as long as that "edition" (GvE, Mac, Architect, etc) has not been applied before - and each time you do so will add 30days.

Also, I recommend getting the GvE edition if you haven't bought a full retail yet - the jump jet power you get is VERY useful.

[ QUOTE ]
Mez Resistance is kinda like ghetto Mez Protection, and combined with the new feature of defensive toggles not turning off when you get mezzed (though they get temporarily disabled), it makes life a bit easier for squishies. I think they should use that more often, myself.

In the case of Knockback, I believe Magnitude also effects the distance the foe gets knocked back. Knockdown is the lowest Magnitude of Knockback. This is also why Force Bolt is so much fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

For knockback, resistance merely lowers the magnitude, it's an instant effect.

Higher mag does equal more distance - and .75 is where "KB" goes from Knockdown to Knock back.

Note Knock Up is different, and when you up the mag it merely sends them HIGHER. Which is why some prefer KU to KD - it doesn't send them away from the melee types.

Bah, I would of beat you, Father, if it wasn't for a stupid "Your Form Isn't Valid" error!

[/ QUOTE ]

That error means that he'd already posted a reply, and your browser was trying to submit a post with the same ID number as the one he used.

He beat you fair and square.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not necessiarly.

It could simply of been someone else - it doesn't have to be in the same thread (I've had it happen plenty with no new posts in the thread I was posting in).

*laughs* Oh, dear lord. Someone has way too much free time.

( By the way, I think I've asked before but managed to miss the answer...how do you do the cycling avatars? )

[/ QUOTE ]

I've got a php script in the dedicated directory all the images are stored. It's really easy to set up, you can google "random image rotator" and get a ton of hits. Mine is set up for .jpg and .gif so any time I want to add new images to the rotation all I have to do is upload them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Generally needs your own webspace - you have to change the directory the avatar "image" is in to run a given type of image as a .php script (which requires certain permissions), make a script, rename it as an image (so when I made mine I simply saved it as avatar.gif or whatever) so the boards will take it. The one I used didn't come set up to do multiple filetypes though, and I'm a plug-and-hope .php user :P
