I think that the time might be a little long, but not that much. If you break down the numbers, 30 days is 720 hours which is actually 90 8-hour days, or 3 months of work.

I think it should be shortened to 528 hours, or 22 full days. Which then equals 66 8-hour days, or 3 months minus weekends.

It's not a big change, only 8 days.. but it RP's well if you think about it.

She plans on wearing it to school on the second or third day because her Mom says she has to wear her nice clothes for the first day of school. It also looks like her and I may be doing a small presentation to her Grade 2 class about the game as a public speaking exercise. We've all ready wrote a five minute speech (Flame wanted to go longer, of course).

Later that day, the City Of Heroes Population increments by one full elementary school.

Sister Flame needs to complete the Faultline Arcs so she can get her own summon gears temp power

Wow. So 2 issues this year. That is brutal. I guess i13 is going to be big and I'm sure the wait will be worth it. Since it's such a long wait I am assuming there will be some huge things in i13. Any additional info from our super pals at the Con?!

I spoke with both ExLibris and Lighthouse and both said "great things are coming." When pressed for details, Ex just smiled at me. Darn her.

I did get a "FREEM" shirt tho.. and the comic con power! w00t!

I know.. I know...

It's a contest to create a movie about all the things that happened BEFORE Dorothy came to Oz, using CoX characters, of course.

(edit.. I didn't realize it.. First after a redname.. w00t!)

BTW, have you told Sister Flame that if she plays a VEAT, she gets a new costume slot at 10!?

Yup the banded skirt, the very same that Soul wears. :/ I think it happened to all the skirt patterns. Like every pattern got rotated 90 degrees. Here's a screenie of it.

Okay.. I am going to show my age now.. but it kinda reminds me of the 1981 movie with Ryan O'neal called "So Fine." It's about a man who "invents" jeans with plastic patches covering the "cheeks."

I actually like the look of the banded skirt rotated 90%.

Looks like "<border red>" has been changed to "<bordercolor red>".

Either leave out the border designation or change it to "bordercolor" and the binds/macros above should work fine.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I have my clear chat bubbles back!!! THANK YOU!!!

Great job! Conga-rats!

I will repost, but I wanted to hear from a master first, if this was a work-around-able issue or not I believe I read that it was a known issue.

JG,

I am having issues with missing graphics spots when I set my world texture quality to anything above medium. However, I am also having issues when it's set to that setting or lower.

With a setting above medium, I find parts of the graphics turned black. Like sections of boxes in acrachnos maps or the police symbol outside police stations.
When set to medium or below, I noticed that in the final mission for the "origin of powers" - where you fight CoT to get the 10 object, the 10 objects are pure white. They don't glow and I can't tell if I have clicked on them. The moment I raise the settings, the objects are their proper color.

Have you seen this problem and/or found a work around?

Thanks,
Chuckers

Along the lines of Hellion Golf, mentioned before, I do this for accuracy now, instead of distance. The other day I had my lvl 50 En blaster power push clocks onto the roof of Wentworth's in AP. I giggled like a mad man doing it.

The other thing I have done in the past.. driving some people crazy because I am old and they are young and they just don't get the reference:

Go to Skyway, wander around the southern end of the map, and broadcast/local chat "Has anyone seen Marshall, Will, or Holly?... Anyone?" See how many people get the reference.

<qr> Gotta post a little "doom" in here.. but just little.

I really love the ability to re-organize my characters by drag an drop. However, it seems the game has been doing that on it's own lately. Every day I log in, I wonder where my characters will be on my list.. then the next day, they're back to the original order. (well, maybe it's not THAT frequent.. but what's a little doom without a little exaggeration? )

Will this drag and drop stop that issue or will we be dragging and dropping every other day?

OMG! That's PERFECT!

OMG!!! I think I just wet my pants a little!!!

6 Slots when I 12 hits.. that's amazing..

I also like the price break.. 5 for $20 is really good.

I *love* my Spines/Regen Scrapper. ED, which I hated, forced me to rethink his secondary effect of poison/slow. So, I slotted for that and man, it has made a difference. I am not the greatest player, but my scrapper is 47 now and soloed most of the Preatorians (could have soloed all of them, but was teaming), as EB's of course.

While I still hate ED, something good did come out of it. I think the devs have done a very good job trying to balance all the AT's so that they work. Yes, some do under perform, but if it's fun to play, I'll still play it.

Hurrah, Castle sounds happy!

Let's try not to change that.

Happy Castle?

I smell DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[/ QUOTE ]

Happy CoX comes from Happy Castles!

Happy Castles come from California!

[/ QUOTE ]

That just sounds wrong.....

Castle may be happy now, but I await the day he starts laying mushroom clouds.

I like him because he speaks what he feels, even if it is not politically correct. Reminds of George C. Scott's "Patton"

[/ QUOTE ]

Reminds me of Jack "Statesman" Emmert.

Bite your tongue! Castle and BAB actually TELL US THINGS!

(So does Positron, but he doesn't do it at 4am... probably because of Positot.)

<qr>

Wow.. I am amazed.

And keep in mind, while 15 is a small number, the number of those who actually program is even less. Lighthouse, Ex Libris, Ghost Falcon, Mynx, Brian C, and Ross don't do code. (At least I don't think they do and please don't think I am downplaying their contributions to this wonderful game) This cuts down the number of people working on new content/bug fixes/balancing from 15 to 9.

Totally amazed.. plus.. They still find time to talk to us on the boards. Admittedly, noticing their recent posting times, I think BAB and Castle might be a little insane, but I am very thankful that they do share with us what they can.

I have really enjoyed the last few issues and can't wait to see what the future holds.

Thank you Team CoX!

That reminds me. She wants to go Frostfire... again. She likes the slides. You think doing a 3+ hour taskforce is rough? Trying sliding on the ice slides for 1/2 hour to entertain a six year old.

I am 16 (17 on the 11th, wewt) And I still spend some quality time on the slides...

Pssh, I'm 37 and I put two characters in there, set them both to follow each other and giggled madly as they slingshotted all over the place.

[/ QUOTE ]

Want even more fun? Get two characters with fly.. have them fly up in the air and then set them to follow each other...

Much dizziness ensues!

Last night I learned, totally by accident, that if two character both use recall friend on each other at the same time, they will switch places. Which had us laughing for a quite a while.

SF rocked the house. She was great. I got to say hi to her sisters, too.

WW,

You should put an SF easter egg in the game somewhere! That would be awesome

(OMG! First post after a Rednam!!! First time in almost 4 years on the boards!! I ROCK!!!)

Well in the Massively article about War Witch being in England over easter weekend, it mentions War Witch ran with Sister Flame a while back. I was just wondering how much fun Sister Flame had running w/one of the Devs?

Thank you for the time...

[/ QUOTE ]

I was wondering if someone was going to find out about it. I didn't want to say anything in case _everyone_ wanted War Witch to run with them.

...<snip>...

I think that Flame's teacher would like her to tell the class about "City of Heroes" for show and tell sometime.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's truly a great story. I would have loved to see Flame bouncing off the walls after that meeting!

(I'm betting War Witch was happy to chat with someone who was just happy to play the game and didn't want to kvetch about everything wrong! )

Oh to be young again...

Tomorrow... "Tomorrow" isn't a problem, and in fact, is pretty informative all on it's own, compared to the oft-quoted: Soon™...

You are SUCH a big meanie. When you walk through the park, do you kick puppies and pop balloons? How can you sleep at night?

SERIOUS KUDOS to you! I needed that laugh this morning!

[ QUOTE ]
Me too, thanks for helping with that... next question: If you're dead when you level, does that mean you get rezzed (by having a wakie cast on you)?

[/ QUOTE ]

All my blasters would love this!

That's SO adorable...
