CoH Live Journal: Answers to Common Questions

No. They have basically completely nixed raising the level cap. They're going to institute more for level 50s to do though.

They have said they'd like to do fall from grace/redeem, but have for now shelved it due to balance reasons (the archetypes play completely differently together when with the other team; examples being the Valentine's coop missions).

How do i get a picture for my forums account?

---

Huh? just got my boards account today, and want picture can anyone help?

---

Yes.

First, 2 minutes is an EXTREMELY short time to wait for a reply. If you don't see a reply in 24 hours, then you might have some grounds to push your question harder.

Second, you need to host your avatar offsite, as these boards do not provide a means to upload your own avatar.

Once you have your avatar hosted, go to "My Home" at the top of the page, click on "Edit" beside Personal information, scroll down, and find the place where you need to enter your avatar url.

Enter the url, click submit.

You should then have an avatar.

is there a limit on how miny pool powers you can have?

---

You're limited to 4 pools max, but within those 4 pools you can takes as many powers as you have room for.

In other words, you can have 1 primary powerset, 1 secondary powerset, 4 power pool sets and 1 epic/patron powerset (after level 41, depending on if you're hero or villain), but within those sets you can take whatever powers you want.

IF my driver doesnt support this game what options do i have? i have been trying to creat a charater and play the game.

One question I got asked today (and didn't have a concise answer for) was along the lines of "What good are badges and why should I bother getting the Isolator/Jail Bird badge during the Tutorial?"

Your question might be best answered in the Technical forum, where scarily knowledgeable people will be able to help.

I suppose the most concise answer would be "mostly nothing". Because aside from the whole bit about accolades, badges don't really do much in a mechanical sense.

Villainside, one extra answer would be "some of them unlock contacts".

Getting Isolator/Jail Bird in the tutorial is mostly so that if, fifty levels down the road, one suddenly turns into a badge collector, one does not need to feel regretful that one missed it.

Ahh, this is helping me as we speak. Yes I'm a noob and so are my counter parts that have also landed us here in City of Heroes. We have a varied back ground in numerous MMO's. This has helped us out greatly. Thanks again.

They're mainly just for fun. However some of the Acolade badges come with extra powers and some of the Veteran badges come with things like powers, respecs, unique costume parts, free costume changes, and non-combat pets.

Ok might be another stupid question.. new To COH and the forums. But how Do I get a Combat pet on the heroes side??? I am now a lvl 32 Blaster I can't seem to find out where I can get the fire imp anywhere.. Is it a mission? and if so who give the mission out? thx
Mirriana 32 Blaster

---

Welcome to the forums!

Blasters do not get a combat pet as part of their set. Fire Controllers do, as their level 32 power. Sometimes, you can earn a temporary combat pet through a mission, but you won't be able to get one through your set.

I have a QUESTION! U guess we've all seen the emails from ppl offering to sell inf for like $9.00/10 mill. Has anyone bought from these guys? Are they reliable or is this is a scam? If it isn't a scam just how do they get it (the inf) to you?

---

I don't know but alot of them say you'll get it with in a half hour. I don't trust them and will never buy from them. Though I will pay to beat up the guys who do this stuff. It'd be worth ever penny.

Buying Inf. for real-world money is against the...that thing you agree to when you sign up. I can never remember what it's called. Too many letters.

Anyways, don't buy inf. for cash. They're usually shady, if something goes wrong they take your money and don't look back, and not totally legal.

This is a scam, plain and simple.

They are deliberately breaking the Terms of Service, repeatedly getting their accounts banned, and they are resorting to the scummiest of marketing tactics.

If you purchase influence/infamy in this manner, please keep in mind that if it is discovered, your account will be permanently banned, too. Also, all of these sites are Chinese sites. That means that if you pay them and they don't give you your influence, there is absolutely, positively no one to help you. Your money is simply gone forever, in the fat wallets of crooks. Actually, it's much worse than that, since you would be paying them by credit card. It means that your credit card information is gone forever, in the fat wallets of crooks. Even if you got your influence, is it worth knowing that your private financial information is in the hands of crooks who would just as soon sell it for a few pennies?

Even if you can afford the most expensive of lawyers to fight for you, you will be royally screwed, dealing with a "company" that doesn't give a crap about you except how much money they can get from you in a country with zero oversight of the industry.

If, in spite of knowing all of that, you decide to foolishly hand over your credit card number and billing information to these people, you deserve whatever consequences come from it. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's really important you understand who these people are.

Re: spam

One of the other bad aspects of supporting these scum is that you encourage them to proliferate (i.e. to spam me more). Argh!

Say no to spammers!

---

Sooo...can we do anything about these guys, other than adding them to our ignore lists and reporting them?

---

Not in-game or here on the forums.

You can, however, find out who hosts their site and send an email to the host with the RMT site's information. WHOIS.net will give you the scoop on sites.
