  1. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it but you can start selecting power from the APPs at level 35. You'll only be able to pick one power from the pool you end up choosing at level 39 I just think you should be aware you have the option to start working for Hibernate or Rotp.

    On a SO only build I don't think the fighting pool is a great choice, I certainly don't think you should invest in Weave. You've got maybe 6% def with that build, you're not getting much help with that power pick. There is a big difference between having a lot of defense and very little. Since you're going to be stuck in the very little category without IOs or the right teammates you should avoid using power picks on things like Maneuvers and Weave.

    The travel power pools have had new powers added to them since you were last here. The jumping pool has shield charge like attack, the speed pool has power that will automatically recharge all your powers. If you're not aware of these new powers take a look at what's offered.

    Welcome back.
  2. I want to know how Vanessa Devore and Wu Yin hooked up and made a baby.

    Game freezes

    My system will periodically lock up and I'll be forced to shut down the computer using the power button on the computer case. My system only freezes when playing City of Heroes, I don't have this problem when I play STO or Team Fortress.

  6. On Beta the Fire and Ice set and the Mecha set are the only options. Celestial can't be claimed.
  7. Sig, are you aware there are a fixed number of anchor parts available to the player rig? Sounds like you're asking for 3 more anchor points to be used, but I think after the back packs got added we only have 2 more anchor points left.

    I'd like atleast one of those last anchor points to be used on thighs so we can put holsters and pouches on existing pants and bottoms.

    at about the 37:50 mark Positron gives an answer to asymmetrical costume parts that should shed light on this subject.

    There is a hard to make out hilt/guard section, I think. It's too big to be a Katana. Methinks it's a Titan Weapon laser/beam blade thingy. They did mention new weapons for the set, so that has to be new for the pic.
    Clockwork 01 in the deleted Mecha Costume Set Beta thread stated that new weapons were being worked on for the mech set and that the new work flow for new melee weapons going forward was to create the Titian weapon model first and then scale that down for use with dual blades, broad sword and katana.

    Anyway I think that picture is a new Titian weapon and it will be available for the other sword sets as well.

    That's 6 new powersets a year. Or 3 new powersets and 6 new costume sets a year. You have control over how you spend those points. Points you get for just simply subscribing to the game.
  12. As a ViP you get 400pts a month (minimum) to spend on what you want. That's 12 costume sets or 6 new powersets a year. Everyone who has been subscribed to this game since Freedom has been released has been rewarded around 4400 points. That's a lot of new costume sets or new powersets that you get to keep using even when you stop subscribing.

    Some people need to take a minute, think about all the new things they got with their 4000pts and wonder if the Devs really are asking ViPs to pay through the nose.
  13. I can't tell what BI is moaning about, the Free for ViP chainmail costume or that he may get the chance to spend his monthly stipend on the Black Knight pieces sometime in the future.


  14. I'm excited for these new sets. I just hope we are getting a chain mail skirt.

    That picture is from the fourth book of a limited series from the 80s titled Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

    Frank Miller wrote and penciled all four books.

    If you were to look back at the history of Batman and try to figure out how and when Batman went from the camp of the 60s and 70s to the Dark Knight you see in the 90s animated series or the Bale Batman movies. The change all started in The Dark Knight Returns.

    The one handed guy is the Green Arrow, GA only has one hand since Superman took the other one.
  17. I feel the QoL in this game improves by leaps and bounds every year so I'd rather keep on getting new stuff every issue.

    Shouldn't one of Posi's favorite powersets be free for ViPs?

    You can find everything listed in this thread. I'd start ready it from the back and work forward.
  22. The going rogue "preorder" that was offered through NCsoft months before going rogue went live did not include the alpha and omega pieces. Those costume had to be bought in a separate booster pack when going rogue went live.
  23. Right now I have a Nvidia Geforce GTS 250, which runs the game great in my opinion, but I destroyed the second video out port so I need a new video card.

    nVidia geForce GTX465 is the replacement I'm looking at, but I really have no idea how to decipher the names and codes they give video cards these days.

    I'm hoping someone who speaks nvidianesse can tell me if I'm looking at a newer generation of video card.
