  1. A green name, am I seeing things??? how odd.
  2. While I see where your idea is coming from and it is a pain when you loose a High Alt and then loose the SKed low Alt I agree with FFM. I think your original suggestion would make PLing much easier.

    What might work and I suspect even this could be abused is a system where you could perhaps have several SKs but only within a certain range. For example

    1st SK any level
    2nd SK within 15 levels
    3rd SK within 10 levels

    though again I agree with FFM, having multiple SKs doesn't really fit with the comic genre.
  3. If you are looking at the Special Enhancements part of Wentworths/black market you'll also see some YOs (from Yin in Faultline). These give the bonuses of SO but are available earier (13 IIRC), but again they act like TO, DOs and SOs and loose values as you level.
  4. If I buy the "City of Heroes and City of Villains Combined Edition" and use the activation card from it on my existing account am I right in thinking I'll get 30 days play from it?
  5. Just goes to show how things can change suddenly, Clearly just 2 days ago Rockjaw wasn't aware of what was about to happen. Damn shame.
  6. Good luck to everyone affected, hope it all works out well after the bad times are over.
  7. Just need to get rid of the kids for the weekend.... I wonder if Nanny and Grandad can be conned.... erm I mean persuaded to look after the little darlings.

    I hope this is a misunderstanding by the writer. IMO the game really doesn't need this. Since they changed the XP rate it doesn't take long to level anyway.

    This is Not Needed
  9. It would be handy to know how long you've had an item up for sale in the Auction House for.
  10. Maybe no one should be able to see the actual ratings except the people who own the arc or who have to power to upgrade it.

    Obviously this then makes picking a good arc more difficult so maybe arcs could show a general rating rather than a specific one.

    EG less than 10 ratings - Unrated
    11 or more ratings
    rating 0-3.....Poorly Rated
    3.1 to 6.......Average Rated
    6.1 to 9.......Good Rated
    9.1+...........Excellent Rated

    Assuming the score is out of ten, thus I'd look at PC arcs and see

    Name...................Rating
    Making a Hatbox........Poor
    Fixing the Future......Good
    Singing in the Wind....Average

    etc

    The idea being to stop people following the crowd with there vote.
  11. It would be nice to be able to see a list of which history plaques you've read.

    I can see a number of issue with how best to list them, but it would still be handy to know which ones you stumbled across on a toon you haven't played for a couple of years.
  12. My Wife Suggested

    Hot Glowing Rocks as a name..... at least I think that she was suggesting it as a name

    it's better to just make the GM names red above the character, so you know for sure.

    [/ QUOTE ]With 95% of your petitions, you're not going to ever actually see the GM, just talk to them through tells or (out-of-game-)e-mail, so that's fairly pointless.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've only seem a GM once, playing as a villain they turned up with a blaster. A blaster in the rogue islands, that and their name made it obvious they were a GM.
  14. There hasn't been any announcement made as to when the next DXP weekend will be sorry. Unless of course I've missed it, which is quite possible.
  15. Mossy Rocks (Mossy as the rad powers are green) [As in a rolling stone gathers no moss]

    Lava Dom (A Lava Dome is a volcanic feature)

    Vesuvius Core (Core after Reactor Core and Vesuvius as you're using stone powers)

    Though I don't think sprawler explicitly says that this happens all the time or even a lot of the time. Just that he finds it boring when it does happen...

    I've seen this happen a few times when big teams get hit by masses of slows (the nictus council powers for one iirc) - and any character can feel like a granite tank waiting for recharge, a passing kin or the heat death of the multiverse (with it being anyone's guess which will come first).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Fair comment I hadn't thought of it that way and slows can be a pain, in a literal sense if we're talking about multiple caltrops
  17. One of the D&D sets had the Minionions of Seth in it as evil doers....
  18. Wonder if he nicked most of it from this post?
  19. Forest is a plant Troller and to be honest I never really felt powerful, yes you can control, but you can't really hurt much.
  20. True enough, of course there is the olive branch that the money will go towards bettering the game.
  21. You can make robots with the standard cosy bits though, it's not like they're stopping you making one.
  22. What level is your highest Alt Sprawler?

    I can't think of many alts I have that after about lvl 25 have at least one combat power available at all times even during a major fight and when teaming the action rarely stops as even sypport alts have somehing they should be don't.
  23. Damn I wish I'd read this before translating the post, oops.

    Having reread the post I now wish I'd read it properly be fore posting
  24. For those whole dont read french too well.

    Avatea's post last nigh reads

    Certain malicious players recently tried to pass themselves off as GMs/representatives of NCsoft. Our true GMs found them very easily and they were sanctioned for these actions.

    Some facts will help you to recognize a true GM/representative de NCsoft:

    1- A true GM will never require your identifiers of account and password of you. If somebody does it, are wary of!

    2- A true GM is recognizable with its name preceded by “GM_”. For example GM_Name. With No player can use prefix “GM_”!

    3- A true GM is recognizable with the colour of its private messages. These messages will be posted in blue instead of the usual yellow colour.

    4- A true GM will warn you by email, in answer to your petition before an intervention is carried out concerned and thereafter when the intervention takes place.


    If you have suspicions concerning anyone concerned, do not hesitate with us to announce it is by typing petition <texte>, is by using the mitre “To put a question” of the Support centre.

    If by first you mean "almost 6 months later" then sure

    Been there. Had the flamewar

    Bit longer ago than that see DIY missions

    And longer than that... note that my post in that thread stated that I'd contributed a fair bit to a thread on this several months before yours.

    I'd forgotten about that

    My search fu was weak then, so I'm not even going to try finding it now!

    I'd guess that some people have wondered about PCC since about a day after seeing their 1st MMO...

    Very true!
