Is it possible to create a macro or key bind to turn XP Gain off and on?

I can't say that I've ever heard of that happening. More often than not, it comes though as a blank screen, either solid grey or black.

Taking a screenshot of any full screen window has always been finicky. If you (or anyone else) are using Vista or Win7, you will find under Accessories the 'Snipping Tool'.
That will allow you to select areas of the screen to capture.

Back when I was playing on XP I used to get around the blank screenshot by bringing up Paint, and then moving it down until just the title bar was visible at the bottom of the screen so Windows would see that at the 'active' window, then take my screenshot of the enhancement screen/character creator/etc.

I'm surprised that CoH didn't make it on the 'Most Dramatic Change' list and sent an email to support@guildlaunch.com asking way.

Also, I voted.

Positron sent out a Tweet several months back, about there having been 6 level 50 Praetorians. With First Ward and now Night Ward allowing Praetorians access to story arc missions up to level 39, I'm sure there are more level 50 Praetorians out there.

True, Mistress Maria is the Intro contact for Night Ward, even though she's located in First Ward. I forgot her.

I just keep hearing people repeat that Night Ward is 30-35, which it's not.

A few helpful hints on the new tools added to Base Building.

Once you have placed an object, you can hold down the following keys to move and rotate items.

Shift+L mouse button = Vertical movement.

Ctrl+L mouse button = Horizontal movement along the same plane. Still has some glitches so it can be a little frustrating at times, just make sure to have your Patience button pressed at the same time. ^.^

Alt+L mouse button = Rotation. The rotation point is not the same for all objects, some rotate around a center point, other rotate on a corner.

When you shop at the Thrift Store, you may wind up with something like this, a lot of mismatched things thrown together.




Or sometimes you can get a decent bed at a consignment store.

Feedback: Summer Blockbuster Event

Just so you know, there is a feedback thread. ^.^

Happy Hatching Day, Rasta!

Welcome back to the game and enjoy!

Correct, those are Invention Origin (IO) Enhancements.

Single Origin (SO) Enhancements you buy from vendors in the game or gain as drops. The same goes for Dual Origin (DO) Enhancements.

A new term you may hear or come across is SBEs (Store Bought Enhancements.) These are purchased from the Paragon Market with Paragon Points, are store counterparts to similarly named IO Sets like Mako's Bite and such but ARE NOT Invention Origin. You can slot these regardless as to whether you can use IOs or not. They are account bound so you cannot auction or trade them.

Another new term you may hear or come across is ATOs (Architype Origin Enhancements), these are typically gained from Super Packs which are purchased from the Paragon Market. but ARE NOT Invention Origin. You can slot these regardless as to whether you can use IOs or not. These are not account bound so you CAN auction and trade these. (Edit: Once a Catalyst has been used on and ATO to upgrade it to a Purple version of the ATO is can no longer be traded or auctioned.)

Also, people will incorrectly refer to ATOs as ATIOs, this tends to lead to confusion as some will assume that it follows the same rules as the Invention Origin Enhancements.

Sorry about your troubles, Janlee, but do take care of yourself.

I hope to still see you chatting in the channels and at the FPS.

Tips on taking screenshots

Okay, I've seen quite a few posts where people are having issues with taking screenshots, particularly within the costume creator. ParakonWiki does have an extensive write up on taking screenshots.

Vista* and Win7* users.

Vista and Win7 have a screen capture app called Snipping Tool, You will find it in the Accessories folder. It allws you to capture free-form, rectangles, windows, and full-screen.
*Vista/Win7 Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise.

Now, on occasion I have come across users that have the 'blank-screen' issue when trying to use 'prnt-scrn' in the Costume Creator. (I know I did until I was pointed towards the Snipping Tool.) I have a work-around that I have yet to see fail for anyone that tries it.

Blank screenshot workaround.

1. Bring up whatever art program you are going to use (MSPaint, GIMP, etc.) I recommend one that is less of a resource hog for these initial screenies.
2. Move said program so that only a small portion of it is visible like the Title bar down at the bottom of your screen. Be sure leave it in the foreground (on top of CoX.)
3. Hit PrintScreen.
4. Move your art app back into view.
5. Paste.

I would actually have two instances of MSPaint running, that way I could select a part of the full screen image, and paste in into the second window gathering a little collection of cropped screenies.

I hope this helps.
