    Surveillance

    I tend to tell people /windowshow, because while /show and /windowshow are the same, /hide and /windowhide are not
  2. I've always seen PlayNC time cards at their standard price (in Best Buy, GameStop/EB Games, Circuit City, and Fry's Electronics). The issue here is that he found Game Cards, not Time Cards.

    I believe /windowshow combatmonitor will open the CA window (and /windowhide will similarly close it)

    im pretty sure they could make it so to endurance lowers when you attack...adding a tag to it just like the movement speed

    [/ QUOTE ]Actually, no. They can't. Which was the point of the first part of my post.

    Each power has a number of statistics (one of which is Endurance Cost), and a list of effects. Each effect can be made to suppress (For example, Super Speed has a Scale 1.000 * Melee_SpeedRunning RunSpeed effect, which is suppressed for 4s when you activate an attack power), but the power statistics are static.

    A few powers (such as Kinetics.Repel) have a self endurance drain as one of their effects. (Each time you hit an enemy with Repel, you lose 1 endurance) It would be possible to add such an effect to the travel powers, and make that effect suppress. However, the endurance drain effect could not be lowered by endurance reduction enhancements, nor by things like Conserve Power.

    and F_W, that was my point--That because the science pack didn't have a power (because it was based upon the whole body-changing thing), to facilitate the OP's suggestion, a power would have to be added to it.

    [/ QUOTE ]Eh, they could make height/bodytype changes free for Science characters. (Not that I'm in favor of the suggestion in the first place)

    Your characters will be fine. All of those are stored server-side.

    The only things that you will lose are any costumes you have saved, screenshots you have taken, or bind files that you have made for yourself.

    [/ QUOTE ]Also your player notes and unpublished MArcs.
  7. Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me!

    magic cards have greater buffs and the debuffs are less?

    [/ QUOTE ]There's only one debuff in all of the Mystic Fortune buffs, and it's only -3% tohit.
    Edit: And that -3% tohit comes with +100% speed and +15% recharge, too.

    there was no power with science.

    [/ QUOTE ]The Science power was the super tailor.

    That makes me wonder, regarding the new update. I used Kraniks guide to add things such as electrick melee/armor to scrappers and tanks. Will I need to delete those b4 the update so i dont have 2 electric melees to select from?

    Thanks for the help.

    [/ QUOTE ]No, the new version will simply overwrite what you've got. Builds using your modifications might end up bugged, but you won't have two copies of the powerset.

    Speaking of which, a previous quote from Steiner on the subject of installing the upcoming version:
    [ QUOTE ]
    Keep an eye on Titan, because the program is still looking at Mids' site for the update info... the new version will be an overwriting install able to be downloaded from http://cohplanner.com. Again, keep your eye on it. A news post will be applied upon its launch.

    Does Flurry still have silly high damage in PvP?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes, but only the fite klubers use it. Flurry does about the same damage as knock out blow in pvp.

    Never thought I'd see the day when flurry would need a nerf. It kinda tells you something about the new pvp system...

    [/ QUOTE ]Of course, the animation will probably still get you killed, but I think it's hilarious that it does so much damage.

    Last I checked, Dominators do the most PvP damage with it, too. Also hilarious.
  11. If logging in to you 50s does not allow you to create EATs, then you'll have to contact Customer Support.
  12. Those are the Scrapper values. Aett posted the Tanker/Brute values.

    Paired Emp

    [/ QUOTE ]Yep. While normally considered a buffer or support set, multiple Empath Defenders buffing each other can be a force to be reckoned with. They're good with 2, but the numbers really start to fly with 3 or 4 together.

    When you get a bunch of Empaths together, you end up with something like Green Machine: Defenders with soft-capped Defense, Regen Scrapper-level Regeneration, near-Blaster Damage, crashless nukes, and limitless endurance.
  14. Well, they're smaller than most wings, but they're still pretty big. The Fairy wings, too.

    Keep an eye on your challenge rating.. I went back on a hero to get the isolator badge and forgot to set my rating back to 1.. Yeah, 2 powers against hordes of infected was NOT fun

    [/ QUOTE ]That's what temporary powers are for

    Watching Shivans and Vanguard HVAS decimate the Infected is awesome.
  16. Game mechanics answer: Because we don't have a way to modify endurance cost like that. The closest thing we have is a self endurance drain as one of the power effects, but that would be unaffected by endurance reduction enhancements.

    Roleplay answer: Because you're still trying to move at the unsuppressed speed, it's just that the combat is forcing you to move slower, for the same cost.

    And larger versions of the smaller wings?

    [/ QUOTE ]The only small wings we have are Chrub and Bat, which are small versions of the Angel and Demon wings from vet rewards.

    You mean like 33.3% acc and 33.3% dam for the HO versus a level 50 IO which has 26.5% acc and 26.5% dam ?

    [/ QUOTE ]Yeah, something crazy like that just might work!

    Specifically, to quote Steiner on the Titan forums:
    [ QUOTE ]
    I promise an updated release of MxD by 12-noon Friday the 24th of July (US/Eastern) at the latest.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And, to help tide you over until then, Here's what I've been working on!

    isn't it the 12-month vet award? that's what paragon wiki says, I hope it's not lying cause I'm really looking forward to it =D

    [/ QUOTE ]The 12-month reward gives you the prestige sprints you could get from pre-ordering CoH. The CoH DVD edition gives you a different sprint.
  21. I want a Mind Control/Dark Miasma/Presence Controller

  22. While Power Boost sounds nice to give Defenders as an inherent, it's pretty useless for Sonic and Cold, and not super useful for Kinetics or Dark. Substituting one useless inherent for another isn't the way to fix anything.

    Logout Question

    [ QUOTE ]
    If the worry is people deleting other people's characters, why not just replace the "type the character's name to confirm" form with a password entry?

    [/ QUOTE ]While character deletion is a problem, it's not the only one. What if someone logs in to all of your characters and steals stuff out of your base, or respecs your character, taking all your expensive IOs? By forcing a login to reach character select, someone could only do that to one character (the one you were logged into when you walked away). By allowing logout to character select, and just requiring a password to delete the character, they could potentially mess with every character you've got.

    So I have to buy the game - AGAIN, just for one little thing? Lame.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    At least you CAN buy it. I've bought almost all the packs and extra goodies this game has, but one thing I don't have and really want is the Arachnos cape logo, and afaik, it was only available in the COV Collector's Edition DVD, and I don't believe that is available anywhere.

    [/ QUOTE ]I bought CoV Collector's edition at Half Price Books for $10...
