Then, can we mail enhancements/salvage or just influence?
That info isn't very clear.
CAN mail inf.
CAN'T mail items, or cross factions.
Which part was unclear? -
Quote:Yeah, with this much news this week...and the Dual Pistols prepurchase needing to be finalized before the first weekend of March...I'm expecting a biiig press release next week.Originally Posted by Lothic
I've only been waiting 6+ years for animated tails myself.
The thing no one has mentioned yet is if they've crammed this much goodness into I17 then I wonder what kinds of amazing things are left to flesh out Going Rogue?

Mine is more of a riding crop, it varies stylistically from person to person. But they all have the same purpose: flogging peasants.

Good god, I came as soon as I heard. For a 'small issue we may throw together if we get time', this issue is looking fantastic.
Dual Pistols making everything spin around wildly is fine. Put it aside for live as it is. Testing the next wonderful issue can't wait! -
C'mon people, double the exploration badges and new neighborhood accolades? Plus, more badges earned badges?

Curious to see how this affects base porters.
All in all - a nice update.
In any case, we still need to get the word on GR this week or next, in time for folks to prepurchase for the first weekend of March. This is going to be great. -

this might be a dumb question, but can we email it to ourselves? character to character?
It's going to make my red-blue/blue-red inf. transfer service much easier to facilitate. -
I'm not content with a barely legible hotlink title.
Quote:Issue 17 Overview
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
With the release of April's Issue 17: Dark Mirror, the newest free update of City of Heroes®, the game you love now has the visual depth, contrast, and richness it deserves! Dark Mirror includes a superior graphics rendering process, dubbed "Ultra Mode," that gives City of Heroes a heightened level of detail in lighting, reflections, shadows, and water effects. Paragon City and the Rogue Isles have never looked better.
In addition to Ultra Mode, as part of Issue 17, you will confront a new and nefarious foe who will be able to match your character blow for blow.
Other Issue 17: Dark Mirror features include:
- Epic archetypes are now unlocked at level 20.
- Animated character tails.
- New missions, new badges, and new player emotes.
- Quality of life enhancements to the UI and game systems.
- Improvements and additions to Mission Architect.
Ultra Mode
Ultra Mode includes a superior graphics rendering process for players who have higher-end graphic cards. Each feature can be enabled or disabled in the graphics menu options and will be scalable. Ultra Mode works on both Macs and PCs. In specific, it offers dynamic shadows, screen-space ambient occlusion, and dynamic environment reflections (including planar reflections and environment mapping of reflective surfaces).
Epic Archetypes Unlocked at Level 20
Previously, you had to have at least one character at level 50 to make an epic archetype character. No more! Now you can create an epic archetype character as long as you have any one character at level 20 or higher.
Animated Tails
No more tails lying about like dead weight! You will now be able to select tail body parts that will react to your movement and have a swaying or swishing idle animation mode. You will need to go to a tailor to upgrade to the animated version.
Content
New Story Arcs: Issue 17: Dark Mirror features two new Hero and two new Villain story arcs for levels 20-30. Each of these story arcs has four missions, and the story arcs highlight the Dark Mirror's sinister new enemy. Acquire first Hero story arc in Talos Island, and the first Villain arc in Sharkhead Isle.
Silver Mantis Strike Force Update: The Silver Mantis Strike Force will now be available to all Villains, not just supergroups. You now can access the Silver Mantis Strike Force via Silver Mantis, located in Sharkhead Isle. You can also run this Task Force from your supergroup computer.
Positron Task Force Update: This Task Force has been split into two halves and dramatically upgraded and updated to ramp up the fun. The final battle of the Task Force takes place in the Faultline Dam and incorporates the new Dark Mirror enemy.
New Badges: Along with adding badges for 500 Badges Earned, 750 Badges Earned, and 1,000 Badges Earned, we are adding new exploration badges to city zones, almost doubling the number of exploration badges. You can learn new Accolades for finding all of the exploration badges in each city zone.
New Player Emotes: We'll let you know more about the new emotes soon.
Quality of Life Improvements
Craftable Temporary Powers: You will now have a much cleaner and more consistent way of finding and crafting temporary powers.
Increased Mission Count: You can now have seven active missions (previously three).
Show Last Objective: This UI improvement lets you find your last objective on a mission map, making it easier to find something you've missed.
Auction House: The UI gives you new options for sorting search results, your Auction House inventory is now separated by clearly marked tabs based on the item's status, the Auction House text entry box now autocompletes, and a single click on a recipe displays all salvage needed for that recipe.
In-Game E-mail: You can now use in-game e-mails to send Influence/Infamy to your own characters or to other players' characters via in-game e-mails. (You still cannot send Influence, Infamy, or items from a Hero to a Villain or vice versa.)
Mission Architect Improvements
Experience: You can now handpick the powers for custom enemies and still receive experience for them (within game balance limits).
New Maps: We have added approximately 20 new unique maps.
Giant Monsters: You can now add giant monsters to some outdoor maps.
Exit Mission on Complete: You can now specify that players have to leave the mission manually on completion.
Escort Missions: "Lead to place" technology allows you more control over escort objectives. -

So when is this going to be available for pre order? Double exp starts next week and the add says we need to pre order to get DP for double exp early release.

If rep means nothing, then what did I say that merited -300 points of negative rep. Holy crap.

Quote:Preorder has not started yet. Before it does, you will know what is in GR. I challenge you to point out an NCSoft item that is available for sale, but does not say what it is. Granted, I only know one game that they sell, but I don't believe they could legally get away with what you are claiming they do.Originally Posted by SinergyX_EU
If you still believe NCsoft is 'offering' this in return of your 'loyalty', you havent played enough games of NCsoft yet. If there is 1 company that is known for its 'limited info' about what you actualy buying, while offering a complete set of unknown packs, that would be NCsoft. They care **** about loyalty, care **** if you play since day one, forced to move back to EU and have no single change of returning to a more populated server.
They done it on Aion pre-order, Tabula Rasa, the pvp-packs on Guild wars were a serious screw over (first u have to buy each pack 7.99, to see it 1 month later for all classes for only 29.99).
The problem, they offering a crapload of packs, without EXACTLY telling you what is in it. Why on earth would i play 20-40 euro for 2 sets and kept in the dark what the whole GR gonna be? (i bet 10 bucks, a chain of missions and *poof* you are on the other side to continue grinding and farming). Dual pistols aint that great, demon summoning with the f00ked up AI probably gonna be nothing more then some eye candy.
Hell they even gave out more Aion 3.0 info or B&S, then a 'soon to be release' expension for City of Heroes. Why i'm so pissed about it? I got 5 accounts, we're talking 200+ euro if the new expansion is worth it, is it that weird i'm pretty pissed off they give **** on information? (yes, on that Certain Other game, i could buy a lifetime sub for that money, imaging that).
Look here, 20 pages with alot of questions.. all we have is 1 first post with some little info.
I'm ready to be corrected and put in my place. -
You are hot, Deebs!

There's a patch. If it opens up tonight, you can have plenty of fresh frustration.

I don't want doppelgangers, or at least, forced doppelgangers. I despise game-side godmoding like that.

Pistols has to be Live within two weeks. As a no-bonus, all the people that grab the pre-order now will lighten the load for all the old vets that purchase the CE in July.
But the store will probably still break. So remember folks, if you hit "BUY" 45 times, don't be surprised to see 45 charges on your account. -
Again? That was fast.
Right now, we're largely at work and school. Where are you? -
Sparks, shells, leaves, flames, snowflakes, confetti?

They've repeatedly said what it is in it.

Crap on a cracker, peeps. This echo is hysterical.
