    Could we get more information on this workaround? I saw someone say change the location to NA.. what location?

    Not something i'd do tho, still pondering a catspaw tattoo
    There was a girl in Europe who got stars across her face, her parents went nuts and she blamed the artist saying she fell asleep in the chair and he got carried away. She finally admitted it was her own fault, but after a lot of hassle for the artist.
  5. Just an update incase anyone else wants to do this, with the server list merge you can install 2 instances of the game and run them with separate settings.

    What a weird question. What is the motivation to do anything in this game? Fun, something different maybe? Same reason people still run normal arcs rather than just sitting in the AE powerleveling. Not everyone is rewards driven.
  7. First time I got a safeguard I saw I only had 15 mins to complete it so I declined as I had to log off for the night. Something in the description made me think it was with other players and I was still too nervous to team.

    They aren't actual backpacks, try equiping one with the huge sliders maxed out... it doesn't show at all. That is the reason we haven't had cosmetic backpacks to date. They needed to figure out how to get them to look good on all model sizes. I believe they are making them scale with one of the sliders so they work.

    They did... it was called Going Rogue...

  10. Googling victorian dresses gave a lot of very layerer dresses so I would assume it was an attempt at achieving this.

    How about an exchange of patterns between the Icon stores so the Serge can cut the men some cloth and clock belts and Lauren can add some nice jackets to her collection,
  12. That cloth belt looks really good for that usage. Dev's Give it to the men too please!

    I think this is a way of implimenting it really.

    I noticed on Kheldarns post, but missed the iiis on yours.

    And I only made the comment above to reply.

Just because Memphis_Bill has forum followers and time to post 2117 posts more than me, doesn't mean he knows more about the game than I do. Those extra 2117 posts translate to 35 more hours of time I've had to play City of Heroes or occasionally Angry Birds, and I've gotten really good at both playing Scrappers and avian physics in that time.

    Its players like us that struggle in anonymity, ignored because of the bias that exists against people with humble post counts under 24,000, that struggle day in and day out to nerf all the fun out of the game, while meanies like Memphis_Bill take all the credit. Next time this happens, you tell them that Memphis_Bill is *not* the only person trying to ruin City of Heroes: he's just the one trying to steal all the fame for ruining City of Heroes. In fact, dare them to name one power Memphis_Bill personally got nerfed. I bet he can't even name one part of this game he personally destroyed, whereas I can name three. And that's not even counting the way I ruined Martial Arts and made that set unplayable.

    Sigh. Sometimes, it just doesn't seem worth it, trying to destroy the game while other people sit back and sweep up all the accolades.
    You win! I am blaming every single change in the game from here on out on you!
  15. Hmm, good point there PTH. That is pretty rough. As VG says above GR is 50% off at the moment so it might fall into your budget? No harm in looking. Bear in mind if you buy the complete collection you get a months free game time and the collection pack which has extra costumes in it.

    I'll make a similar offer to Valk above to help you outfit a new character. I'm not sure support will be much help. Powerset respecs aren't available. They may be able to transfer your stuff off though. Send me a global tell in game on @Dave N Smith if you want some help or company.

    You have got to be kidding me right...? Right...? People are free to do whatever the hell they want. You have a problem with their base? Find another SG.

    Just on this, you never lost slots. The game has no record of when a slot was added so it doesn't remove them when you exemplar. So the order you add them is irrelevant except as you are levelling. If it's a respec it makes no difference.

    Let me know how it goes as I'll likely run it too tonight Keen to take a look at this booster.
  19. Plus remove the memorised recipies from the salvage warning. EVERY common salvage I sell triggers this as they are all used.

    It's possibly to do with the path of the EXE file. Much as our exe has EU in the file name. There must be the instructions somewhere.

    Here is the link to the instructions:

    Obviously I was wrong, and should expect to resume normal shafting services from now on out
    To be fair, they have only just merged the live servers. Give them time to fix the test servers correctly.

    I certainly am.
    You are kidding right? Have you played a F2P game? I'm in the Middle of one now. You can't do quests bar the main one past the starting areas, you have to buy quest packs. You have only 2 slots, a cap on money, no market usage.

    CoH bars no content from anyone able to pay the subs. These packs, which allow the devs to develop and test new ideas outside of the main development cycle, provide us with nothing more that fun, but useless in terms of gameplay, items. Bar the Beast/ninja run, which is OP really.

    Most of the tech developed for the boosters has appeared free, as I listed above. I'll put 100 mill inf on us seeing new face-tech faces, backpacks and path auras in the next 2 issues.

    The booster packs have often been used to test new Tech:

    The Cyborg had the combat auras
    The Magic had the CC emotes
    The Science had the Super Tailor
    The Martial Arts had Ninja Run
    The Mutant had Glow Map costumes

    All of the tech above, except the super tailor (which I believe should have been) has been added to the game in following issues.

    From talk this pack has more new tech than any of the others. Path Auras, Back packs and the new faces at least. It's possible we could have had to wait a lot longer for this stuff if it wasn't funded by booster pack. Bear in mind that overheads HAVE gone up as there are more Devs working on the game now.

    Ahh, but he clearly knows everything about the game as he only has one post count. It's all downhill from here.
