The ParagonWiki is the best website to lookup stuff about City of Heroes. Do not use the CityOfHeroes.Wikia site, it's extremely outdated.
Main Praetoria page -
Currently, your first character will start in Praetoria. Any character you make after that will be given a choice of starting as a hero, villain, or Praetorian.

What's your global name in game (starts with an @ sign)? I'll send you the Halloween salvage needed to make a 2nd costume slot (or someone will if they respond faster than I do).

Press the Prt Scr button. It will save a jpg of the current screen (without the game interface) to a directory in your CoH directory.
You can go to Menu->Options->Keymapping tab and scroll all the way down to other to select a key under "toggle screenshot ui" to toggle whether the screenshot includes the UI or not.
edit: For more info, check the ParagonWiki page. You will also want to bookmark that site. -

When did this start? I hate these damn thing on other forums.

That's the one. Thanks a bunch.

My search fu has failed me. Does anyone have the thread with the replacement textures for the base beacons that had the zone names on them?
Thanks in advance. -
Quote:The Kismet Accuracy is a proc, not a global, and will work no matter the level as long as the power it is in is available and used.Originally Posted by Willowpaw
However, for individual special pieces, such as KB protection, LotG 7.5% Recharge, Winter's Gift Slow Resistance, and the Kismet and Steadfast uniques for example, I go as low as possible since the bonus is the same no matter what

Quote:In Organica's example, you are listing the item for 165 million. Batman, Aquaman, Superman, and the rest of the Justice League are selling theirs for 160 million. The highest bid goes to the lowest seller. Since there are people selling their inventory for less than you, they get the sale and you don't. Yours won't sell until ALL of the ones that are listed for less than yours sell.Originally Posted by ryancowboy6
I dont get the part where u say i might be seeing it sell for 170 million more.. why would i be seeing it sell for more when mine is listed for less?
You can leave yours up until it sells, which might be awhile, might not, since the market can be volatile, or you can pull it down, lose the listing fee and relist for less. -
Set bonuses do not even care if the power is available or not. For example, if you slot the power you gained at level 49 with level 33 set IOs, those set bonuses will still be available when you exemp down to run Citadel TF (level 30 max).

The Tanker forum would probably be a better place to ask.

Only place I could find it was in the April 8, 2009 patch notes.
"Once a PVP IO recipe has been earned, there is a 10 minute timer before the player that earned the recipe can have a chance at earning another recipe."
PvP IOs need a page explaining them in general, not just the category list page. Trouble is there is so little actual data on them and so much misinformation on them. I thought they were tied to PvP rep myself, which is why I said 5 minutes. -
Quote:So where is this info in the wiki. I've looked for it before and couldn't find it.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Well, that's what paragonwiki is for.
I recall a global 5 minute timer, and a 10 minute timer on people you've already defeated -
Quote:Yes they drop in the Arena and the PvP zones. Once you kill another player character, there is a 5 minute cool down period where any other kills during that time will not get a drop.Originally Posted by retched
I'm trying to figure out where PVP Recipes drop from. I know you can buy them from the Merit markets but wanted to know how they drop. I know there was a bunch of rules regarding their timing and even a point when they didn't drop. Can anyone provide any information?
To further expand the question:
- Do PVP recipes drop in Arena?
- Do PVP recipes drop in warzones?
Edit Ok, I could be wrong on the actual timing

5) Does Ouroboros allow you go to back and do the other arcs in Praetoria? Or can you do your own arcs again?
Wiki page with list of villain arcs available through Ouro.Quote:6) How does Ouroboros work in regards to side switching? Once you side switch does it unlock all the arcs for the other side? -
Quote:Well, almost always. According to the patch notes in the wiki, Patron Powers were added on June 6, 2006 and the Patron respec was added August 1, 2006. Still a very small window of time.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Patron powers have always come with a respec, because you can achieve level 41 before completing the first arc to unlock them, and turning off XP wasn't an option until "recently" (not exactly "recently" NOW, but "more recently than patrons" at least)

Quote:That is not quite correct. The PvE stealth cap is 200' for most except VEATs and Stalkers. As mentioned above, all three will give the OP 100' of stealth. See Limits page.Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
It's always been my understanding that two of them will put anyone but a stalker at the stealth cap; and even for a stalker it only makes a difference in PvP. So for a blaster having three sources of stealth won't do anything.
For PvP, the cloaking device and the stealth IO would put the OP at the stealth cap for anything but stalkers and VEATs (571.5 at level 50), but super speed does not give any stealth at all in PvP. -
Quote:Snipers have 149' perception. The OP doesn't not have enough stealth to hide from them.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
You can not have enough stealth to be stealthy to Rikti Drones/Knives/Rularuu Sentries. It will work for snipers, I believe.
-
See Stealth and Perception on the wiki.
Cloaking device gives you 35' of stealth, Super Speed gives you 35' of stealth and Stealth IO gives you 30' of stealth for 100' total.
Any two of them will give you enough stealth to hide from (most) minions, lieuts and bosses. All three will allow you to hide from giant monsters. You can get closer to snipers, but can't completely hide from them.
Take note that some enemies, like the aforementioned Rikti drones, completely ignore stealth. You cannot get enough stealth to hide from them. But perception debuffs, like smoke grenade will affect them. -
Quote:Four killsOriginally Posted by Vega
Does anyone have an approximation of how many kills it takes for tips to drop?
Seriously though, as said, random is random. I've gone some fairly long streaks without getting any at times. -

Quote:Having worked in retail for many years and having seen the prices these things are actually bought for, I can tell you you are very off base here. In your example, the 10 million that it's being resold for IS the retail price that's marked on the package and the 1 million what was originally paid.Originally Posted by Giant2005
n real life, producers how found a way to protect their goods from such treatment by a middle man. They write the recommended retail price directly on the packaging - we have no protection from such things in this game and that is the Dev's fault not yours.

Quote:There was a time before GM regen was buffed that they could kill each other. Jack usually won.Originally Posted by Olantern
Someone who knows the mechanics of things better than me would have to tell you about those other fights, but I do know that the Jack and Eochai never finish their fight by "winning" without player help. Their GM-level regeneration outpaces their ability to damage each other.

Quote:Previous thread on the subject. I recall that there are more but this is the first one I found.Originally Posted by SBeaudway
On a semi-related note, what ever happened to the CoH RPG? I demoed it at GenCon (or maybe Origins) several years ago. I remember thinking it was not awful.
