  1. If it helps This will fix the def res problem for TOs and generic IOs.
  2. I'd put it in, that way there's a built in reminder to be careful about which you buy.

    It doesn't seem all that intrusive. And if one wished to fix the sets I would assume simplely replacing some of the transparent area of the smaller icons with the "pog" color would work.

    They're also constrained by the logical frameworks they establish for said universe, otherwise the quality of their product suffers.

    Except it wasn't a lazy "I don't want to do it so here's a sudo-explination I pulled out of my butt." It was well thought out "this is how we invision these weapons worked and with in that frame work maces don't make any sense, so we aren't doing them."

    It was a large explanation on how talsorian fields work and why it wouldn't make sense to use them to make blunt weapons due to their low mass and fragility. However, why we can't get a non-talsorian vanguard mace hasn't been explained yet.
  7. Over in the Tech forum, Zombie man discovered the emote name is apperently ccpodperson.

    I had no toggles on while testing it.

    this is the bind i tried to use /bind LSHIFT "cce 0 ccenergymorph" but it does not work....

    does anyone know how to bind the Energy Morph emote?????
    That seems to be the right command but I too am having it not change my costume, though it does trip the timer so I'm thinking the problem isn't that I'm entering it wrong.

    As far as I know you're not suppose to put spaces in the emote name or at least none of the others require it.

    Just checked, putting in a space returns an error message and using a no existed ccemote doesn't trip the timer so I think its a bug

    I see no reason to believe his biological development was stopped when he drank from the Well and even if it was his biology was kicked into over drive, why would that effect everything but his brain?

    Last I remember the color tags are broken for direct to speech binds but still work if you use them in combination with the begin/start (can never remember which it is) chat command as a header for what you will type. Also I believe color tags will work for direct to speech in custom popmenus.

    As I understand it, when Maria was Maiden Justice, maiden justice wasn't Marcus' wife. Supposedly the retcon is why tyrant and dominatrix's relation is so creepy.

    The only contradictions are your assumption. The fact that you don't think it's a reasonable time frame doesn't allow you to throw out canon.

    Marcus was born on June 6, 1896 and he and Stefan found the Well on July 10, 1930.

    But yes. Claws.

    You know what else would be nice? Maces. Axes. Katana. Shields. Heck, even Assault Rifles, Bows, & Pistols.
    Personally I think the Organic Armor would have been a perfect fit for a new Spines/Thorns theme.

    Tempus and vorare are Latin, while chronos and phagos are Greek.

    You somehow read this as The Rogue Isles are 50-20 miles off the coast of america.
    I read it that way because any other reading requires me to assume the writer left out words such as across or in length. "50-20 miles off the US coast" is a complete thought while "a band 50-20 miles" isn't. Plus the later statement that Spider City is at the 50 mile mark, outside U.S. jerisdiction, further supports my interpritation.

    Quote:
    What it ACTUALLY says is that the Rogue Isles are further out than Bermuda which lies 570 miles out at the western edge of the Sargasso Sea.
    Just as a note, Bermuda lays south east of the U.S. so going north west of it puts you closer to the U.S. not further out.

    Not exactly sure I'd call it close to Bermuda given that the Rogue isles are 20 to 50 miles off the U.S. coastline while Bermuda is 570 miles.

    Why would you have to look through hero-con footage? From Canon Fodder: Official CoH Lore Q&A.
    Quote:
    Question Every franchise has its rules of canon and I'm assuming that City of Heroes is no exception. While I'm very interested in the lore of the City, I'd first like to know what sources are considered canon. The game itself is a given but are both volumes of the comic canon? The novel(s)? Heroclix info? Trading cards? Are any licensed products so far off the mark that they have to be ignored?
    Also, if a player asks a question that has no real definitive answer but you decide to speculate, is that speculation canon? Will you be deciding certain details of the lore on the spot or are you limiting yourself solely to sourced material, even if it is unpublished developer's notes?
    Answer: These types of questions come up a lot and although we’ve answered them in various incarnations it seems to bear repeating. The game itself is always the primary source of canon. Official posts on our website such as the timeline of the game are also canon. Our ancillary products (books, comics, games) can be considered canon but due to the fact that they are oft times created by people outside our studio and need to bend to accommodate their own needs they are a secondary source. We do our best to make certain everything meshes but if contradictions come up, this thread is the perfect place for you to point it out and get clarification.
    Finally, it is important to note that if there is speculation in one of these answers it comes out of a discussion between many of the devs but is not necessarily instant canon. It’s safer to treat a comment like “no one is certain” or “it is theoretically possible” as a teaser rather than canon. We will definitely define and add to the canon in these answers, just not every time.

    No they can't. In Web of Arachnos the Three Sisters claim there are no gods, so in you're scenario they were wrong.

    and just for quick refrance, from the lore thread:
    Quote:
    Question: What happened to the Greek gods in the CoH lore? Were they real beings of supernatural power or people who were lucky enough to find the well and gain powers and were immortal for a few centuries until they just faded away? And if that be the case does that mean Statesman's power is temporary as well?
    Answer: In the CoH universe the gods of the Greek and other pantheons are real beings of great power. In ancient times they took a much more active role in mortal affairs until their actions and conflicts threatened to destroy the world itself. Pacts were made, oaths were given, and accords were reached. Statesman and other Incarnates are one representation of these agreements and serve as the avatars of the gods. Their powers are not temporary and in most cases are no longer even directly dependent on the gods themselves. Although what would happen to something like Statesman’s “Lightning of Zeus” power if Zeus were to somehow be eliminated thankfully remains an unanswered question.

    Most of the gods agreed to operate through chosen champions instead of manifesting directly.
    Of course some of the gods are unwilling to be bound by any such agreements and threaten this delicate balance. Even some mortals refuse to abide by the ancient covenants as is in evidence with the servants of the Banished Pantheon.
