    Right, though you still can if you items/powers that come with that pack and the month of playtime. All you need to play is Going Rogue though.
    This is an important note for any player on a budget, many of the older editions can be found for $5 and under but still come with a Free month ($15 value) and some have a booster pack ($10 value) included.

    There's a couple of thread about this over in the Going Rogue forum, but yes the codes Started going out yesterday (got mine at 9:55 EST) in batches, no idea how long it will take everyone to get it.

    This thread has some info and a screen shot.

    I believe that related to a badge give for visiting the 3 Stations.

    /bind <key> cce # ccemote where # is the costume slote (0-4) and emote is the name of the costume emote you want(spin, lightning, energymorph, etc.).

    This is basically correct. What you are looking for is the dragon texture on the Baron jacket, and the Syndicate color pattern on the Racer Sleeves and Pants Lower Body option.

    There's also the possibility that Marvel went for the claim Time Warner (I think it was) made of Youtube, i.e. that their business model actually relied on users infringing.

    the Syndicate Patern appears under Jacket with sleeves->sleeve-> Racer and Pants->Pants, or at least it did when i checked this after noon. as well as the Dragon for baron already mentioned.

    I've got a bit of an update. For those who prefer the basic set here is a set of textures for the new Gamestop Pre-order enhancements.

    For those that like Corva's pogs, here's an update that includes the Pre-order enhancements plus a change I made to Icons for some of the basic enhancements which have a large circular symbol.

    They should end up in the same place as the enhancements. If you're dropping the whole file chain into the data folder make sure you press yes when it pops up the dialog box warning about the folders already existing. If you're just dropping the files themselves, put them in the enhancement folder at the end of the chain.

    Do you mean the syndicate stuff? That's been on live since I17.

    ALERT!!

    As of Issue 13, code has been added to prevent players from crashing other players clients through tags that use the greater than and less than signs, <, >.
    • From one of the programmers: The new SMF code converts < and > to &lt; and &gt; (which show as < and > in displayed text but don't get recognised as meaning 'this is a tag' internally in order to stop players from breaking other people's clients with bad tags or whatever. Unfortunately this means the text colouring doesn't work any more. Probably needs a better solution but not a high priority until the start of next year.

    As I recall <> function correctly in popmenus (not really sure why). Best sources for custom popmenus I know of are here and here.

    this actually creates a macro "foo" with the first command, then trying to execute the second command.

    Is there an obvious way to "escape" the $$? For that matter, is there an easy way to just put these in a file and load it, so I can use an editor?
    Use quotation marks.

    /macro foo "petsay_name Bob Hello $$ petsay_name Jim Hey there"

    I don't know of anyway to load a macro, but you can creat a .txt file with the commands as binds in and load that using /bindloadfile <path>.

    If you mean ones I've done, you'll have to make sure you're extracting it to the right location, which is the data sub folder in of where ever you installed City of Heroes at least in the general, some of them might not have the files structure right. I know the enhancement pack does, not usre about the others. If you let me know which ones you pack you're having trouble with i can give better advice.

    oddly enough, the Icons are identical to Neo's pack and were created in exactly the same fassion, using in game artwork. I neither resized or repositioned them. I do know that with some of the fuller icons (to hit buff/debuff, end reduction) that the off center nature of the icons is more noticable than the ones I did for Neo (due to the dark line on Corva's pogs) but Neo's are actually just as off centered (as are the unmodified ones as far as i can tell).

    edit: I double checked and as I thought, the TO and generic IO symbols weren't overridden, except for Resistance, Defense anad to Hit Debuff, so the fact that you don't get double icons on those is a clear indication they are in the right spot.

    I thought the Alpha and Omega parts were from the $6.99 Alpha and Omega booster pack.

    2. be actively using their powers
    3. have a strong presence in the Force that they can be felt across the galaxy. (Luke on Dagobah and the Emperor alerting Vader)
    4. Not be concealing their presence somehow, (Sidious in prequels, Yoda in Ep 5).

    In the movies, Leia was never trained and not even using her powers on an unconscious level, vs. Luke who was already an accomplished pilot to rival his father (skill + Force) and then gets some quick training by Obi Wan.
    As I recall, in the novel "Splinter of the Mind's Eye," there's a point where Vader senses Leia's force potential and writes it off as some sort of "reflection" of Luke's.

    Closest I could find was BaB's response to adding weapons to non weapon sets:

    I believe it could be done, but it would have ramifications on balance.

    Adding customizeable weapons to power customization is another story.

    Best bet would be to buy a cheap copy of the GvE edition (Amazon seems to have it for $5-$12) which comes with a free month and an item pack. If your friend enjoys the game, then they can invest the $40 or wait till the price drops a bit. Also remember you can reduce the subscription fee using other older editions of the game's free months (remember to apply the retail version before the collectors edition for best effect).

    As I understand it, it got changed to energy because the effects we have now for energy blast were the closest they could get to what they wanted for water blast.

    I believe the last thing we were told about water sets was that to do it right would heavily depend on what tricks a players graphics card could do and would require a jump in the minimum requirements to run the game. Many players would thus find themselves unable to play the game, leaving the devs unwilling to do water effects.
