Hmm, possibly ENC_CUSTOM_KATANA_POINT combined with whatever number at the end is showing up on the rest of your moves with the broadsword out.

I'm not sure if that will use the right hand, though.

Doesn't CIT + Sentinel do this? I know there's options for doing forum signatures that show offline / online status and which character. Only thing I think it's missing is a friends list type function, but it does provide XML data feeds so someone might be able to build one...

Try MOV DUALWIELD_TAUNT 8

In spite of the stated policy in the ustream yesterday, I think that the (Kill Alexis) dialog tree option in SSA#3 is pretty downright villainous and about as dark as it gets short of torturing children or something.

It's probably a lot easier to RP selfish rogues and insane world-destroying villains than it is for your character to be a cold-blooded killer like that. Even with all the rationalization and emotional detachment that usually comes with playing video games.

If you really want to level fast and get a feel for the game, look for people doing mission teams. It doesn't really matter if you're in their level range or not too much. A level 7 trying to get on a level 50 team might be frowned upon, but a level 30 probably wouldn't.

If you get get on a team of 5-8, you'll steamroll along and the levels will fly by before you know it -- especially the low and slow ones. You can level even faster by getting on what people call farms, but IMO simply teaming a lot on regular missions is still fairly fast and has the advantage that you don't miss the fun part of the game.

It helps if you're high enough on the Premium ladder to have tells. If not, look in the team window when you're not on one and set your search flag to "Looking for Any", then enter a comment that you can't reply to tells and will accept invites. Setting the flag is a good idea either way -- you'll be at the top of the list when people do a search to find potential teammates to invite.

Once you get comfortable with the pace of missions and general layout of the city, you can also try leading your own teams, which is handy when there's nobody currently leading any but lots of people who would want to join if only they were asked. It's easy! Just type /sea to get the search window, click 'Find' to clear the default settings which only look in your zone and level range, and look for people who are either flagged as LFG (they'll have a different icon), or have something in their search comments. Send them a polite tell asking if they are interested in teaming, and don't take it personally if they'd rather solo.

If you do that, remember that you don't *need* any particular AT or role like a tank or a healer. You can do missions just fine with a team of all scrappers. Everyone adds to the team's strength in different ways, so it's usually good to have a mix, but not necessary. You also don't need a full team -- if you have 4 and don't see anyone obviously interested, the missions all scale to team size, so you can do great running with 4 instead of sitting around waiting for more.

But most of all, make sure you're having fun!

They're definitely there. On a level 50 Brute it's -16% Recharge while in the aura, and a 13.6s Taunt (mag 4). The relevant effects all have a special condition to prevent them from applying to yourself.

I'm not sure how that could ever happen -- you'd have to be considered a Foe of yourself -- but evidently there's a reason for it to be there. Whatever the case, the detailed power window probably just doesn't understand what the condition is for and so it doesn't show those effects.

Guessing it's related to this: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=282997

After some playing around in GIMP I think I've managed to invert the filter that was used to wash out the colors.



While I can see why the filter was used -- to set the mood of desolation and listlessness -- I didn't think that's how David originally drew the characters and wanted to get as close as I could to his original work.

As an aside, I see that many of the attendees are just as trendy and "creative" as a lot of the people I see in Atlas Park . I see no less than 5 wearing full sets of Elemental Order, and 2 in full Celestial.

And it was Aurora, not Swan.

Red, white, and black -- the top half of the tunic and the arms are black, with some white trim.

If that thumbnail is the original, it looks like they didn't crop it to hide anything except for the faded edges. The two figures flanking Ms. Liberty are almost certainly Mynx (stripe pattern is visible) and Swan, and it doesn't look like anyone else's face was cropped out.

Which leaves Manticore and Sister Psyche conspicuously absent. And an up-and-coming hotshot psychic hanging out with some big names. Hmmmmm.

If it helps, here's a version of it with the color balance somewhat restored:



Also, the image on the Massively site has an embedded thumbnail in the JPEG that is slightly different than the actual image:



Enjoy!
