So, for DM's it's 250/day.

And since you can only send a DM to someone that Follows you, they can't create an alt account to send the DM's from without having to get people to follow THAT account as well just on the off chance they hit the daily limits.

Second: it takes no Purple or insanely rare and sought after IOs. A power that gets changed so that it can no longer be slotted for it's original intention, gets it's enhancements deleted uppon patch. Imagine if they changed Combat jumping so it no longer accepted defense enhancements and instead added resist? A lot of people may actually like it since it would give resist builds something more to stack resistance with, but it would delete a lot of LotG Recharge IOs. Not fun stuff.

As an aside, I hope everyone in this thread knows that any of you could have fixed those contacts, I didn't have to do it. The wiki can be edited by anyone, not just current editors.

The cottage rule is the WORST thing that has ever happened to City of Heroes design. It's developers willfully saying that they're going to do a poor job in the name of what, not rocking the boat with the customer? That's a ridiculous argument because the boat is being rocked to bring the customer a better product. Throw it out. It's awful.

I say the devs can have it good sirs and madams.

If it is sufficiently different there is no trademark violation. One of the best known examples of this are the two Apple companies where the Apple of Steve Jobs fame failed to prove that Apple Records infringed their trademark due to the different area of business.

Another more topical case was the Mayor of Batman (Yes - it is a real place) suing Marvel over their use of the city's name. I doubt that got far either but no doubt it was good publicity for the city.

Of course the real problem here is that defending a case is expensive and time consuming so the EULA imposes a more stringent set of rules so that such a case does not get made in the first place even if the courts would ultimately rule in NCSoft's favour.

Log in, all toons locked
Log out (coh program still running), add time
Log in, toons still locked
Quit coh program and launchr
Start coh program, log in, all toons unlocked
When you are vip, you shouldnt have to manually unlock all your toons. All slots should be unlocked.
If you are still having this problem after several restarts of the coh program, try to petition to make sure you actually have vip status. I guess one quick way to tell is whether you can use the market, ae or get a mission in nightward.

Whereas having the character create water out of thin air removes those limitations, but leads to the question of "where is it all coming from," and for some reason we're more accepting of that with energy and pseudo-energy (cold/darkness) than with matter. Oh, you can create water from nothing? Why just water?

So that leaves us with a lot of characters -- well, okay, not "a lot," but a few -- who "blast" water because they're made of it and it's a cool way to have them attack their enemies (they're really just "punching" with water), but not much else. And their main schtick tends to be how hard they are to harm/contain, being composed of liquid; the "water blast" is just tacked on.

Alltho we appear to be drenched in them anyway.

It actually heals less on Defenders than Corruptors, because it's relative to your max HP, and Corruptors have higher max HP. The difference is pretty small, though.
