    Both Spinning Strike and Sweeping Cross are listed in game as Attack Types: melee, smashing.

    From what I understand, when you first change alignments, you don't get any rewards. The change of alignment is your reward basically. Then, when you re-affirm your alignment the first time, you get 50/30 reward merits for (Hero/Villain) / (Vigilante/Rogue), followed by the alignment merit/60 reward merits.

    At least, this is what the wiki page says.

    This is one of the main reasons I love the show. I've known people like this, I know people like this, and in many cases, I am people like this. They have some real nerds on tap for the show because many of the references are dead on.

    Chat bind help

    If Mezze is your character name, you can swap in $name and use the same bind on all your characters.

    /bind enter "beginchat ($name) "

    Was this free account previously a trial account and was the character invited to the SG before I21?

    If they were in the SG before I21, they weren't automatically kicked from the SG when I21 went live.

    Very minor nitpick, reduced from 25%.

    Which is why I said "when it is unlocked".

  11. The badge requirement needs to be added to the wiki when it is unlocked. Just a reminder to anyone in case I don't get to it first .

    The thing is, I've never paid more than 140-150 mill for LotG recharges, usually less, and I've always made a decent return on the random rolls. It just didn't make sense to me to use 2 merits when it's only cost me 1.25 or less of one merit to buy one off the market.

    I've been letting my merits sit but more and more I've been thinking about converting them and random rolling. The math just looks better. Currently, I'm averaging 118 mill for a hero merit. That's 5 rolls, the same as 100 reward merits. If I convert those 100 rewards merits, that's 2 hero merits, each one worth 118 mill - 20 mill conversion fee = 98 mill *2 = 196 mill. Those same reward merits get a 66% increase in profit in the conversion. A bit less than regularly earned hero merits, but still better than direct random roll of reward merits.

    For me, part of it was the various mid-level crisis threads and part was to get some IOs that I would use, since level 33 is the level of IO I look for. It gives me a good level of enhancement since it usually hits the ED limit on the main item it enhances while letting me exemp down to a low enough level to run Citidel TF or better and still keep the set bonuses.

    They seem to have the same info because they are the exact same site, just two different ways to get there.

    Avoid the CityOfHeroes.Wikia.com site. It is very outdated.

    I find that Random Rolls + Crafting far outweigh going for LotG. My average Hero Merit roll at level 50 nets (not gross) me 118 million per merit at the moment, with my unsold stock averaged in (see link in sig). LotG recharge would have to be selling for 260 mil to match that. When I checked the market today, lvl 25 LotG were going for 130-140 mill crafted and that appeared to be the high price. Level 50 IOs sell quickly, usually within a day for most. Level 33 rolls are netting me more profit, but sell slowly.

    It is more work, though, and I can understand how some people prefer the quicker and easier route.
  21. I do believe that you get the alignment countdown, followed by the power for just switching the alignment. You don't have to reaffirm the alignment. I have characters who have the alignment powers yet have never reaffirmed their alignments.
  22. That explains why Kaspersky blocked the wiki for me the other day. I thought it weird but the page reloaded fine so I thought nothing of it. Pretty smart of them to do it randomly and not with every page load.

    Clearly, someone doesn't know the definition of "Reinforce".
