Unfortunately, the boots were enormous and didn't look right on her at all (and Valerie is an Amazonian-type warrior, too). I don't know if they had the men's boots accidently for the female builds or what, but they just didn't look right at all.

You can choose a different kind of boots, like stilettos, then choose the Valkyrie skin and then the Valkyrie pattern (if that makes sense). Essentially under boots you would see Stiletto - Valkyrie - Valkyrie. This will give you some boots that match the rest of the outfit, but without being so oddly bulky. I think the gloves might work the same way.

Perfect! Thanks for the example!

There was sales tax on this purchase? I live in Oregon (no sales tax)...I don't pay sales taxes on my monthly fees, and I don't *think* I did for the wedding pack.
Anyone know what's up here?

If I remember correctly they changed their billing location so sales tax is being incurred I think based on where the billing is done not where the resident lives because it counts as being purchased in that state.
I think.
I know it had something to do with them changing locations recently.
basically $5, plus the tax, to tp into a mish every two hours......sold!
Kay has a shinny new toy! yay!!!
Keep it coming! keep it coming!

Why is Broadsword the only weapon in the set? Kinda sucks.... just to give it to one set...
[/ QUOTE ]
They could have given it to dual blades it looks like. It looks maybe slightly longer then, but similar to, the fantasy blade. (Shinier of course)
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah I second this.. Sexy J can we fix this.
If you already have an active account, do you need to purchase anything to play on the Mac? Or simply download the Mac client?
[ QUOTE ]
Well this stinks... I have to wait two months till I can buy it as a stand-alone? D:
[/ QUOTE ]
Translation:
"Right now, I could get the MacPack for 20... $15 worth of playtime, +$5 for the Shinies.
Dangit! I hafta wait 2 months to pay $5 extra for the Shinies alone!"

Am I the only one that feels 2 hours is a bit excessive a cooldown for the Mission Transporter power?
[/ QUOTE ]
You weren't even anywhere NEAR the first one to mention it in THIS thread.
So, . . . Why the fuss? This is just another handy tool. To make it so it is ready every mission or two, would really be game breaking.
We have been assured that Purchasable items will NOT be game breaking items. They are supposed to just be nice shinies that are fluffy icing for the cake.
________________________________
But REALLY! Why do you really need more anyway?
Out of 5-10 missions, most of them are a pretty short jaunt. Not enough to even wait for the extra animation time in many cases. You don't need to tp to 90% of your missions. It would be silly. It is a situational tool, for when you need it.
Will you REALLY receive your next mission, and say,
"Wow! 496 yards.... I sure wish the mish tp was recharged!" ?!?
I have used it a few times just for the heck of it.
But the times it has come in handiest for me, has been when I had just leveled in the mish. Often, I will skip going to level, because of how annoying it is to leave the team standing at the mish tapping their toes.
But with the mish tp, I just head right to the trainer, level, and then mish tp to the mish. I didn't leave them standing. I beat a couple of the others who had run for a drink or something.
Silly to use for quick jaunts... What does it accomplish to beat everyone else to the door?
But when I need to do something quick in RL, or level, or the mish is several zones away... Then it is handy.
And two hour recharge seems to work just fine for that!
(YMMV. If you want it, buy it. If you don't, then don't. relax.)

@ Blackavaar The 12 character slots dont seem to be added to an existing account : I just bought this and they werent added. I am assuming that that means that if this is used to make a new account, that new account will have 12 character slots. It would be nice for the page to be updated to say that (or someone to tell me that its a bug, and give me my 12 new slots). (actually, i would prefer the extra slots 
)
[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry Folks,
12 character slots are for new account creations only.

[/ QUOTE ]
This of course means the normal 12 character slots (per server) that we all start out with then. Kool.
[/ QUOTE ]
just so i understand... if you start a new account with the mac pac... DO you get 12 EXTRA character slots (roughly a $50 value), or is it simply informing you that you get 12 character slots per server?
i ask because of people posting on other forums and talking about you get 12 extra slots if you create a brand new account.

No... He meant that if you used it to create a new account, you would have 12 slots per server.
There are still people who created their account with a basic CoH package after the combo amnesty date.
THEY have 10 slots per server, I believe.
Ex meant that adding this package to your lower slot account will not take you up to 12 slots per server.
ETA: pending further clarification, I might be wrong. . . (see the next post.)

honestly, i'm asking because the mmorpg.com COH correspondent is making a ruckus about the mac pac and is claiming that you get 12 extra character slots and everyone else is wrong. kinda... weird.

I have used it that way several times now too.
Great way to start out your session!
Especially since with Day Jobs, I may be more likely to park in another zone than the one I am likely to run missions in.

Interesting.
My guess is that MMORPG might have gotten it wrong...
But I did NOT create a new acount.
I added to existing account. And I might be misunderstanding too.
We can hope that Ex will come clarify the clarification.

Everyone who plays this game has 12 open slots on every server, with the potential to buy or claim up to 36. There has never been 10 on a server. Only 8 for each COH and COV separately, 12 when you put them on the same account, and 12 ever since they opened both sides to all accounts.
I'm not actually sure why they feel the need to put that information on the page anyway, because "up to 36 characters per server" sounds far better than "twelve". Marketing ... *cough* needs to get on that...

MMORPG's COH "correspondant" has been very, very slow and very, very confused about things recently... Their last "informative guide" was about something that hasn't been the same since 2 issues ago, so ... a bit slow on the uptake, and/or maliciously trying to confuse things. They're not informed very well, for whatever reason. I was going to try correcting them, but I couldn't get on my mmorpg account for some reason...

you could always make a new mmorpg account. but um, that correspondent, definitely has it's own ideas... loves to throw around the word "healer" when speaking of COx.

Okay.... could someone PLEASE help me? For some reason, i downloaded the game from online, and nothing happened! the icons on my dashboard and when i click it nothing at all happens!!!!!! Can someone Help me???
If you're on a Mac, you should probably take this to either the Mac-forum area below, or the tech area (also below). You need to give a lot more information such as which client, whether you're on a mac or pc, what else is running, and the like.
Good luck to you!

Figured I'd add my 2 cents about the 2 hour recharge on the Mission Teleporter...
With all the other options of getting from one mission to another:
<ul type="square">[*]Veteran SG Base Teleporter (30 minute recharge) / Base Beacon Teleporters (time it takes to run/fly/etc to a Base Portal) - access to any zone[*]Ouroboros Portal (5 minute recharge) - access to 5 zones[*]Pocket D Teleport Card (30 minutes) - access to 3 zones + sg base[*]Main Villain Ferry or Hero Green/Yellow Tram (time to run/fly/etc) - access to 5-7 zones[/list]I forget how I was going to end that sentance...
Hopefully you get my point...
2 Hours!?!?!?!?!?!

Hobbit's Hole 1 Person SG
Spider's Web 1 Person VG
Both on Freedom
In my opinion, 5 bucks is a great deal for a costume set. The power, while nifty, is not the selling point at 5 bucks.
While I myself would like to see the timer shortened a bit, I also understand why its at 2 hours.
Before Merits I would not understand why the timer is set so high, however now that rewards are directly tied to completion time I can understand it. Giving a power like the mission teleporter on a short timer like a half hour would give a massive advantage to players who payed over those that did not in regards to being able to earn merits. On a half hour timer few people would take a travel power and they would be able to travel without risk between missions. In short, at a half hour it would be too good. At an hour there is some advantage to be given to players who pay for it, but not nearly as much as the half hour timer. An hour though may be too short. At 2 hours, its handy but does not give a massive advantage over players without the power.
at 10 bucks I may have considered whether or not to buy it, at 5 the choice was easy.
