It only happens to people that put their non combat travel powers in amongst their attack/defense powers. Everyone else arranges the powers in their trays, and moves the trays themselves apart so this doesn't happen by accident.

Oh please no. If they're gonna do it don't make it like or current teleport. I hate saying this but that other hero game has a much better teleport that would work better as a swarm of bats.

There the character basically goes out of phase for a short period of time and you can move in any direction. That with a swarm of bats aura would be perfect. The character goes out of phase, the swarm of bats appears in it's place and moves to where ever the player wants before reappearing.

There was a plot?

Pfft. The only momentum SGU had was from it's 2 season fall from grace to it's well deserved cancellation. Out of 40 episodes you can count on one hand the ones that weren't painful to watch. The writers of that show should have been punished for crimes against humanity.

Only looking? I must be mellowing as I age.

Depending on the character level I prefer transfer/reclaim name. On lowbies who cares. Delete and start over.

Years ago the devs admitted they made a big mistake requiring a level 50 to unlock EAT's. They were saying that before they added CoV. Getting the requirement lowered was just an issue of other projects having more priority.

Oh cool. Like Dark I didn't know those commands. Do you have to know what you want to change the badge title to if you use that slash command?

We had a huge problem with RMT spam/abuse and the draconian measures you see on the Free accounts are a direct result of those people harassing legitimate customers. The devs have stated they will not reconsider these restrictions, because their primary concern is their paying customers.

Edit: Ah here's the official responses and links to the posts in question.

My personal preferences lean toward the Coalition SAMAS Power Armor in Rifts.

Thanks for reminding me. I was on a crappy team doing a DfB recently. We started off with 8 people.

One person stood at the DfB entrance the whole time and his only comments to the team inquiries was "I'm lost."

Two people managed to get themselves killed at the Hellion AV and kept demanding they be rezzed by players who were all Tanks, Blasters, and Scrappers.

When we got to the Vaz AV three of the five remaining players (the two deaders ended up quitting because we "refused" to rez them, and the doofus at the entrance was still claiming to be "lost".) who wanted the badges ignored instructions and started killing minions.

Then when we got to the Lost AV they did just the opposite and managed to kill the AV before the Lost minions were killed. One of them quit then because he didn't like being told that they screwed up the badges themselves by not following instructions.

That left us with four people and the door sitter to finish off the Booger monsters at the end. And after it was over the door sitter got pissed because we disbanded the team and made sure the team leader of the new DfB knew what he did on our previous DfB run.

Don't know what happened to the ones that quit the trial early. They weren't around when we finished and joined the new DfB team.

I think my absolute favorites are the:

"I'm gonna sue!"

"This is false advertisement"

"Wait till the BBB get my letter!" and or phone call.

And they "give them away" a lot sooner now which only goes to show that the devs never intended them to be a reward for reaching level 50.

Don't get me started on Castles man.






The one on the bottom took over 3000 pieces to build. And I think the dungeon turned was the best part before the base crashed and I had to start over from scratch.

You'll never hear me arguing against you on this.

Tech wings really needs a fixed wing option like the new phoenix wings.

Yeah that's why I'd rather see more things added as costume pieces rather than as individual powers.

We already have Power Slide that uses standing animations so why couldn't that have been altered to use Rocket Board with flying? Then they could have added/sold a whole bunch of variations of what we were standing on as costume choices, and because it would use currently existing travel powers they wouldn't have needed to add new animations or detoggling.

They already did this with Wings, Boots, and animated Back Packs.


But I doubt we'll ever get a straight answer.

Real Money Transfer services. The very people who are the whole reason we have 3 tiers of accounts in the first place with Free accounts having the most draconian restrictions.

Those scumbags are why the devs dropped the hammer on Trial accounts back in Issue 12.

The only thing that has kept their harassment to a minimum since Freedom launched is the fact that they have to spend money to get more chat channels and emails, as well as IO's, MA access, etc.

And that's why the devs will NEVER give out free VIP access to anyone for any reason.

Hadn't even thought of the paying for extra ones per character, That would cause even more screaming and rage quitting. not that I don't get a laugh from rage quitting threads.

Exactly. I thought it was pretty obvious that mousing over a badge and clicking on the one you want for a title on the personal info window is easier than tabbing and scrolling thru the dozen badge tabs under the Collect window.

Is it really necessary to give a step by step description to prove it's easier?

1. Sit down . . . in front of a computer . . . that has internet access.

2. Turn the computer on . . . If necessary turn on the Monitor as well.

3. Using the mouse click on the NCSoft Launcher.

4. Once the NCSoft launcher is running select City of Heroes.

5. Click on Play.

6. Type in your Login Name and Password.

7. Press the <Enter> button

8. Select a Server . . . preferably one that you have a character on.


Oh trust me it's easier. Otherwise this will take forever.

Please let's not bring up the global/multi server issue cuz the first thing that will happen is people will start screaming about how each character deserves a different looking global apartment.

To be honest I think it has something to do with the reason why they chose to not to allow the use of other powers in the first place. (and if anyones seen this before I apologize for reposting it)

So could the devs do it? most likely they could but I'm guessing the clincher as to why they haven't lies in the very last sentence of Clockwork's response. I think that for every new power set they add to the game they'd have to go back to every single travel power (like Rocket Board and the others) and add suppression for the new power sets.

Not a big deal when it's just Rocket Board, but the work is doubled when add Magic Carpet. Tripled with Coyote, and increases again with each new non combat travel power added. And the work also increases when more than one power set is added like the upcoming Staff Fighting, Beast Mastery, and Dark Control.

So I think detoggling required the least amount of future work to the powers. And that's work they will be able to spend on other aspects of the game.



Now if the devs came and said they could give us a couple of dozen new non combat powers that work like Rocket Board, or only 3-4 that had power suppression or even allowed all powers but the coding was too much work to add more, I have to admit I'd choose to have the couple dozen non combat powers.

To me the variety is more important than the retoggling issue.



BUT . . . if the suppression issue isn't as complicated as I'm admittedly GUESSING then by all means it should be done.
