    Beta Question

    Wasn't HeroCon attendance only a guarantee for i13 and i14's closed beta?

    Does anybody else know how to get this ability at all?
    You get it with the SuperScience booster

    That's a clbuttic example right there.

    I16 Closed Beta

I think some of that happened with the Shields set.

    This is probably one of those things where it's better not to see it getting made, like sausage or legislation or babies.

    But I am a little sad I won't get to play with the power customization.
    We've had "real numbers" in character creation since before they started proliferating the various sets. We have also gotten new sets as well. It doesn't appear to be that big of a concern for them.

    You are required to have something set up for your monthly billing when creating your account. This can be a Credit Card, a Time Card, or a PayPal subscription.

    Has the badge text of any Vet award/power ever been different between heroes and villains?
    I just think it'd be a little weird if they actually were different that way.
    Let's just say I'd never ask that kind of question about them at any rate. *shrugs*

    P.S. Congrats Turgenev. I guess you only got this one a week too early this time.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The flavor/body text, differs on some example

    And thanks!

    Demoplay?

    From the beta forums, I remember you could get them to run via the Terminal, and maybe from editing the Plist right inside the App Bundle. Unfortunately, it appears that they've finally removed our access to the old boards :-/ Can't get the command for ya.

    Here's the guide on how to do it in Windows. My guess is that you can add the -demoplay {demoname} to the plist where you would set -renderthread,etc.

    Something to seed the knowledgeable-types, maybe?
  9. Is there a difference in the villain badge text?

    User Interface
    The issue involving random characters appearing in the chat line has been fixed. For example, players should now no longer see “asdawasdsawdsLevel 10 Scrapper LFT”

    I have a feeling the wording on this is going to come back and bite you.

    I'm kinda in the same boat of 'ok-ness' for the rewards... the map reveal will be kinda neat. But for this, one should get something special... like dual auras. Say, oh, I dunno... firey eyes and tendril bodies, for example, in different colors to boot. Bet that'd be really hard though, or something...

    Seeing as I'm just about 1 year behind all that... doesn't really apply to me does it? But I'll work on it.

    re: 63 Month - Honorable

    Um... Cerise Dawn is *anything* but honorable... so... what's the villian equivalent on this? Dishonorable? Heinous? Cowardly? Well, of course, not that one, that's silly, villains are pretty uncowardly, just evil, or at least ill tempered.

    The Enduring one for 66 is fine and dandy. Especially if you got your 50 Mind/Psi Dom there before the 'fren'ed the Doms. *points to self*

    I'm kinda thinking the badges aren't for Heroes/Villains, but for self. Still, it's going to be kinda funny to have Cerise with the 'Honorable' tab underneath, when everyone in the Rogue Isle knows different.

    /Kinda wondering what the 69 month reward will be...

    I was thinking when a hero or villain draws out his/her sword or gun where does it come from??? I was wondering why dont they have a holster or something to put there weapons into and so its visible. there can be different holster costume parts and ect. if you don't like the holster idea please think about making weapons visible on either the characters back or waist (should have choice based on player).

    Think about this!!

    Wow, that link kinda sucks. The term Hammerspace was around long before anime-girls were wielding hammers.

    Suckerpunch mentioned he was updating his planner to be I13 compatible a while back. Haven't heard anything since.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    SuckerPunch is currently in semi-retirement from the Titan Network. He and a lot of the other founders are/were suffering from major burnout, etc when it came to City and Titan. (link)

    This has caused the development on the new planner to basically stop (though SP may still be poking at it from time-to-time).

    There are a couple of newer faces (myself included) at Titan working on maintenance and some new development at Titan, but SuckerPunch's planner has always been his baby Griffin. Frankly, it scares me to even think of the complexity behind that code, let alone updating and maintaining it :/

    my biggest question is, why, after 5 years, did they decide it was a good idea to switch /h and /help from being accessing the help channel to opening the in-game help (which is, for the most part, useless)

    [/ QUOTE ]
    /help wasn't in the game at launch.

    Patch Notes
  18. Go into the badges window and select "veteran" from the dropdown. There are additional "badges" with a claim button on them. This is how you'll get the token and respec.

    The costume parts are available once the badge is initially awarded. ParagonWiki shows where the Belly Shirt and Kilt can be found in the costume creator.

    Mac Question???

    [ QUOTE ]
    Hey all. I am going out to buy my first Mac tomorrow. I have purchased the Mac expansion pack for Coh already. Do I need a "Mac" installation CD to load up Coh on my new Mac?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    The only physical CD that has the mac client on it is the Architect Edition. That has both clients on one disc.

    Otherwise, you can download the the mac client/updater here.
  20. Funny how I stumbled upon this thread hours before the announcement

    Too bad it stopped

    All drop pools have been assigned with a 95% certainty, if I wasn't sick with pneumonia and possibly hallucinating I'd say it was 100% accurate. ^_^

    If anyone finds an error please let me know and I'll fix it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Great list! Small typo I found: End Mod / Performance Shifter. The proc is actually Chance for +End, not EndRdx.

    Thanks for compiling the list
  22. [ QUOTE ]
    Hmm.. I bought the expansion and added it to my existing account, but it seems to have pushed when I get my next Vet reward badge a month later then I would have apparently due to the free month you get from the mac version purchase?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Didn't happen for me (and I've applied several 'free months' with other packs. Have you had any lapses in billing?
