That is really cool. I especially like the shower curtain. I decided to do this when I was rather delirious from lack of sleep the other night. The idea was still with me the next day so I thought, why not? My hub thought I had lost it a bit when I first mentioned the idea though.
Yup, let me dig them up.Quote:Originally Posted by 2short2care
Pretty cool, got pics of you mugs?
@S Neko-Thanks!

...but yeah you're off to a great start (love the shower curtain idea!).
Lol, thanks ChristopherRobin. I actually had a custom built rig back in 2004 that was CoH Blue with a matching mouse and keyboard. I have a whole slew of ideas in my head at present: I've been thinking of giving my monitor a "frame" that's CoH themed. But I think the fist thing will be the blue/red keyboard. And possibly a custom figure or custom My Little Pony of one of my heroes. (I found some great knock off ponies for cheap that look like 1st Gen MLP. Got a blue one, need a red now) I also commissioned a piece for one of my first heroes and I hope to see the rough draft soon.
Your work really is amazing. I don't possess a talent for drawing/painting but I have loads of craft experience having worked in two different craft stores for about 5 years, a sewing mom, and my very crafty sister-in-law and mother-in-law. My stuff is my creative/crafty streak gone CoH obsessed. I started down this road when I got frustrated that there wasn't any cool swag in the NC store anymore. Although I remember from the Pummit that NC is redoing the store soon and new swag will be in there. I already have the NC/CoH shirt. And let me just say that I drool a bit over your pc set up. I do presently have some CoH screenshots displayed above my computers and will add the commissioned piece soon.
Thanks all for the kind comments and for taking a look! It's so much more fun to share these with CoH players.... -
I have a couple mugs with my heroes on them and a mousepad of the Statesman symbol. I used the same sybol to make the shower curtain below.
City of Heroes/Villains Coasters I made from old ads in the CoV Box Set. Made 2 of each.
New shower curtain I made tonight.
It's rather nice to sit at my computer with a coh mug and place it on the coh coaster while I move my mouse on my coh mouse pad. I need to do the keyboard next. -

It didn't show the 1st time so hopefully this works.
*** Amazing stuff by all the people above me. I wish I could draw. But I am crafty.

**Apologies if my example pics don't show up right. Not sure I used the right coding.**
Masks/face stuff - I really would love it if we got some new mask love. As heroes or villains, some of us would like our identity hidden and the masks under Face could be more interesting.
A Mask pack would be super cool with say 5-10 masks with maybe matching belts? It could be similar to the Carnival of Light pack in price. The masks could be any of the ones currently under the face options to start and then some detail added? A little depth and some shadows. Not super detail like the Carnival masks but somewhere in between the painted ones and the carnival ones. It would give them the feel of actually being a mask rather than look like they are painted on the characters faces. Here are some examples:
These would be great to help disguise my heroes true identities in a more stylish way.
Thanks for looking over my ideas and thanks for the SWEET princess hat! -

This is why I did claim mine, I already have a pile of them taking up space so one more doesn't add any more clutter.
Character Items is almost completely unusable though. I'll likely never use any of my team/dual inspirations or temp powers because they're items I can't remember the names of half way down a 58 line alphabetical list in a 4.5 line tall window that doesn't resize.
I personally LOVE the consumables from the superpacks. Granted I didn't buy the packs for them but when I realized I had 100+ self rez/ally rez, 300+ enhancement boosters, 150+ enhancement unslotters, etc.... I started using them. The rez consumables are super useful on heroes that don't hold wakies in their storage or even on heroes that have rez but the power isn't back yet. The ally one helps in rezzing teammates when there's no one with a rez power/we're outta wakies-so getting an extra one for my pile was nice. I will log in Fridays for these whether they are consumable or not. But to get back to the point of my quote-DEVS please please please change the size of viewing in the character claim items or some way of the interface being organized for easier identification for claiming. I want to use these items more often but it is REALLY tough to find any of them quickly for use.
I have a VIP and a Premium account and I'll log in on both for this stuff. I'll also broadcast it to my friends who are free/premium to grab them too. This also motivates me to log in Thursday night/Friday day to play so I can grab this and get some teaming in.
The princess hat was pretty nifty. I know male and female players who can use it for their heroes. Personally I think it should be something that's unisex or maybe alternating types so that the male only or female only players can utilize them and there won't be as much backlash. So this week was female and next week (or next costume piece if not the following week) could be male and that would alleviate the complaints a bit. But then again I just love free stuff and free costume bits are like gold for me. I have bought every single costume pack since they started releasing them so I'm a sucker for costume bits.
I do think it's silly to *complain* about free stuff. And by complain I mean the people who whine about it not being what they wanted-not the people just expressing their feedback.
I personally would be very happy if it was. It amuses me to think this so I will believe it!Quote:Originally Posted by Agent White
or it's a nice subtle knock against all the players griping.
XP booster not enough? here, have a hat princess.
EDIT**** I forgot to put a great big THANKS to the devs for the hat. So thanks bunches!!!!

I just got a note in response to my in game petition. They are trying to fix it. Someone post when it's up? Thanks!

Anyone know if the issue with Death From Below queuing is still happening? We tried getting in for about an hours earlier. I just wanted to do a badge run and move forward but no one could get in either solo or in teams.
CoH Announced on the FB that is was fixed when it wasn't. I don't want to log back in again tonight if this is still happening.
Thank you! -

Thank you for reminding me! I feel a bit silly. This makes loads of sense. I need to heal faster so I'll be off these stupid meds that clog my brain during gaming!
And thank you Aggelakis for the info. Got it bookmarked now.
Since I haven't said it yet.... I love the forums. I've been nervous about posting and getting unpleasantness from others. Happens on the CoH FB constantly. (What's up with all the negativity!) Everyone who has responded has been friendly and quick to help. My non-gaming family and friends wonder why I'm still on this game after 8 years. This is why! Friendly players and a great game.

Quote:So basically if I have level 50 enh then when I exemp down for a low level tf I'm going to lose the global bonuses unless I have the power at my exemplar level?Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Set bonuses (which is how the Global IOs work, they are a set bonus of "1") work even if a pwoer is unavailable from exemplar, as long as you are no more than three levels below the level(s) of the enhancement(s) granting the set bonus.
(Did I even say that right? lol)
Again thanks for the help everyone!

Quote:All the ones on my tank are WW/merit purchase/drops. I did buy a LoTG and Basilisk set for another character awhile back while they were on sale and took a look at those. Thanks for the clarification!Originally Posted by StarGeek
Now, when you say purchased, do you mean you purchased them off the auction house (Wentworths/Black Market) or you purchased them off of the Paragon Market with points? Because the SBE (Store Bought Enhancements) opens up a slightly different set of rules, as they are Attuned.
And I did get to try her(tank) out in an ITF. She can take a lot of aggro now but she seems to suddenly become slightly squishy after a few minutes under constant attack. The toggles haven't dropped, click powers were on and endurance was still 2/3 full. I don't know what does it. In normal missions things are dead too quick for this to happen. -

For the second week in a row, I got my Friday Freebie and somehow, once again, escaped any trauma, anguish, outrage, disappointment or any negative consequence whatsoever in picking up a nice little thing for free.
I also bought both the panther and coyote travel powers while I was there.
Thanks again, Paragon Studios!
Yay! I read so many annoyed comments on the FB page. I seriously cannot read a CoH post on FB before bed. I get so frustrated by all the people that complain about CoH not giving them enough X, not bringing out X in THEIR time frame or just slamming them for this weeks FREE X store item.
[/endrant]
Anyway! I don't have time to read through all the suggestions/comments/complaints right now so I'm just going to post and hope it's not been said.
I understand you guys can't make the freebie random for each user right now. But are you guys thinking that it **will be a random item of the chosen item type each week of this becomes permanent?? And what would you think about drawing from Costume pieces, Enhancements, all types of XP boosters(I mean 1 hour types not the longer ones), insp's, temp power/consumable powers etc. I would think that big things(trays, storage, slots, etc.) would not be included even on a rare base for something like this. (and I have NO issue with that )
Another thought - picking a specific type of item(like picking team insp's but not a specific team insp) to be random for the week would make it more interesting for people to show up. BUT-what about just making it completely random? Can you put all of the item types in a pool for the generator to pick from so that you always have a chance at just about anything?? Or am I suggesting something that would make for a coding nightmare?
And for my last item....
THANK YOU guys for this! Woot free stuff! I throw at least $50 a month at you guys right now and LOVE doing it. (couple months ago it was $100-shhhh don't tell the hubby!) I like the super packs & all the costume packs and just plain monetarily supporting my favorite video game ever. CoH is the BEST!
Time to log on! -
Thank you all for your help! And the wiki link too...why couldn't I find it?!?
This helps immensely to understand what all the new sets I purchased yesterday have done to make my tank much closer to Epic than she was. (Had sets before but I respec'd and fixed her weakness's rather well)
Again THANKS!

Probably a question most of you guys understand already but I'm a bit lost...
I am trying to figure out how the Procs work in general. I mean if I have the 20% slow resistance in SJ for instance, will it only apply if I'm using super jump currently? Or does it just apply all the time? Same with like LoTG 7.5% recharge, if it's in a toggle is it only going to apply while the toggle is on? Or in a click, will it only apply when the power is used? They are a bit confusing to me. I just want to make sure I'm slotting these things in the right spot to make use of the bonus's.
Thanks for being patient with me.

Quote:Oooooooo I like this idea! Anyone else?? Because I looove the Ascension stuff but I haven't even earned one piece yet. I drool over any hero I team with who has pieces.Originally Posted by GreenFIame
I think people should be able to earn Celestial Armor, by working at it, I rather not see this sell in Paragon Market, if this happens, everyone one will have it.
My Idea on how to Award Celestial Armor is by Astral and Empyrean merits, that way players can work hard to earn this as well the game it self won't be flooded with this costume set. I'm working on the merits but it's slow going for me, which honestly, I don't mind.

Quote:Really, really agree with this.Originally Posted by VKhaun
IMHO, if not super packs, then events. The whole deal with vet rewards was that you have to keep playing to get them. That remaining true would alleviate a lot of the contradiction in giving them away to those who aren't T9.
-
Why didn't they make a Team teleporter for inside missions? I had actually thought that's what they were doing when I first heard about this power. Anyone know why? I know we have the Assemble the Team vet power(42 months) but a separate purchasable one would be awesome for those that aren't long time vets or major points buyers. I wouldn't even mind a purchasable one with limited uses like the mission teleporter one.

As FYI:
Amplifiers are already in the Market at least on the Beta server.
I hope they meant 4th and 5th enhancement trays because the "third" one has been around since CoH:Freedom launched.
I've been using my 3rd tray for 6+ months now. *shrugs* -

Please, can someone tell me how to get wall items elsewhere in a room besides on the walls? I've seen some pretty neat constructions using wall items but haven't figured out how they move them. Explanation or link would be awesome! Thank you!

I picked up a decent laptop for $450 that runs Ultra mode beautifully. It's a Quad-core 15 inch laptop running Win 7 64 bit, 5000 series Radeon HD and 4gb of RAM currently. I can run the game in Ultra mode for hours and hours with my cooling setup as long as I'm not base editing. Once I enter the editor, heat can become an issue if I edit for more than an 3-4 hours. That being said, this kind of performance blew me away at the price. The screen is smaller but the graphics are still amazing. The color could be a little better but it's a tiny issue. I chose it over a desktop because I wanted to be able to move the pc to other parts of the house daily with no major moving. (I play on the sofa, the table, out back on the porch, and in bed occasionally)
All in all, it is possible to find a decent laptop to run CoH Ultra Mode under $600. But it did take me a few months to find this deal and it went fast. -

This one is. It's huge! Like, warhorse-sized huge.
Anyone have any idea why? I really really want to test this... I've seen a million others people running with BM today on Beta with like level 2's so I know it's available. Just not on my MM list evidently.
