    I have a distinct feeling that "Moonlighter" is taken, did you check for availability on those?

    Doc, that makes a lot of sense, actually... the just personal preference type of thing, not necessarily the "meant to sound like a superhero" part... that part kinda boggles my mind.

    At any rate, I thought of a very different name for the card-themed dude:

    The Ace's Joke — Sort of a play off the joker, and well, the ace part should be obvious. I am not sure if you have much in the way of personality for these guys, but this name evokes a very off-the-wall type of character which seems to fit the "wild gunning" style of DP's animations. *shrug*

    Odd, it was that duality that was precisely why I liked it. This really will be a challenge, eh?

    Yes, Moondust was my first choice...

    Can you be a bit more specific about what is wrong with those? I especially like Neurofreeze as it is descriptive of the character, I thought.

    I am not trying to lobby you into liking them (that's likely impossible) but I am a bit curious as to your thought process... also it could help others to pick better suggestions in the future.

    (PS: All three have great costumes!)

    That there would be part of the problem. They aren't yours. Paragon Studios essentially allows you to rent space on their servers using their art assets, and powers, etc. provided you live up to certain conditions (like paying in some cases).

    Doesn't that amount to exactly the same thing in this case? You want to have the characters you made unlocked... without having to purchase access to the ATs they use. That means you want it for free. You seem annoyed at this. AKA, you are complaining that you don't get it for free. Also, it is a restriction... on you... that makes you pay. Seems like the same thing from where I am sitting. *shrug*

    When I first posted in this thread, something was causing my game to crash when I had a created splash screen in use. However, now that I am using the program linked from the website, all is peachy! I have created several different images that I like a lot for the loading screen!

    One of which is this one, based on a defunct image that would have been the loading screen when you enter an SG Base:

    All of my suggestions were checked on Virtue, and were free as of this posting.

    #1: Neurofreeze

    #2: Dustmoon

    #3: Cardshot

    I'm in the same boat as Xenophage, essentially.

    Here is my main's Ouro Page, it has a few different shots of him. (I can get you additional shots upon request, if you want.) Also, the rest of my characters are on the site as well with pages in various forms of completion.

    I understand completely. I routinely play the game with a large orange tabby sitting on my left arm, a vicious cat (named after Ghost Widow, appropriately enough) pretending to be a headrest and a cattle dog mix sitting on my feet. It definitely makes iTrials more challenging!

    Post your UI!

    POST-ACTION

    Though mine is pretty boring, I think... the one piece that is interesting to me, are the P and V macro buttons in Tray 4. The P is a popmenu with a ton of different powers, like Rest, Ouro Portal, TP to Mission, etc. And V is a popmenu with all of my Veteran powers in it. Very handy, and keeps my trays more empty.

    10-15 minutes just to buy something? That's like... dial-up levels of slow. I see that the Market Interface is pretty sluggish compared to when I browse the web normally, but something seems to be very wrong there.

    A "truch" you say? Tell me more about this "truch."

    My characters don't explain it.

    It's a game mechanic that has nothing to do with my story-line. My character doesn't know it's happening, it just does.

    The second one I get... 1945 is well well after he'd already accomplished all of the Holocaust et al. and was on his way to being dead anyway... thus invalidating the point of the trip.

    (Also, might I point out that "one-use" when I read it seemed to imply there was no return trip either... technically, a return trip to your home time would be a second use.)

    Nice! Got my Dark Matter aura the second go round!! I very much appreciate Paragon amending the way that these contests work, and I even more appreciate the work that you guys now do for them.

    Oh, and, well...

    So... let me get this straight. You are mad at Paragon because YOU don't know what you are doing?

    Nice.

    I have no clue what I was doing either and ended up missing out on the code. *shrug* Here's hoping that I will get one in the next go round.

    I think I figured out why I didn't get a code yet... because my Twitter account was protected.

    That means they couldn't see my re-tweet. I had no idea how/what protecting my account did, but figured it increased privacy somehow. Which I thought was a valuable thing to do. And since I never got any kind of request so far as I could see... well... I was never able to approve @CityOfHeroes.



    Guess that means I missed this go-round.

    I just checked, something like 276 people re-tweeted. Not sure if all of them got it in the allotted time though.

    Me either... but my significant other did... and he isn't half as excited for the Aura as I am.

    Oh well, all good things to those who wait, etc.

    Please can somebody explain in "old codger" talk how, when I have an account, I do both of the above. Thanks.
    When you create your account, it will prompt you to find folks to follow... just put City of Heroes in the box.

    When you see the Tweet (Twitter post) from @City of Heroes, there is a link under it that says "re-tweet." What that does is have YOU post a copy of their message in your Twitter feed.

    What that does in practical terms is allow people to see things who follow you that they may not see otherwise because they are not following the person/company you re-tweeted.

    Does that make any kind of sense?

    For item codes, we'll announce when the codes will be going out, and we'll give people a specific amount of time to re-tweet our post. If you re-tweet our post, we'll respond directly to you with a code to use. No scramble. No luck involved. No twitchy fingers required. Simply re-tweet our post in the timeframe given and we'll direct message you with a code.

    In short, if you want an item code, do the following:
    • follow us on twitter
    • re-tweet our tweet when prompted to do so
    • receive a code
    Woot!

    Absolutely love this!

    If you can't laugh at yourself, you're doing it wrong.
    I don't think anyone logical thinks you are evil... they just wish that you (or whoever) had different methods at your disposal... and really, since you communicated admirably in that thread, I wouldn't worry about it too much, were I you.

    It's not the costume piece that is the issue... it's the method to get it. Really, is it that hard to understand?

    Also, it increases efficiency... lots of those things cost more.
