In fact, a redname did specify that it was a "map instability issue" in this post. So, no, not an animation issue.

Feel free to express your displeasure by declining to purchase the booster pack. As for me, I've already purchased it for both of my accounts.

Yes.

Okay, so you weren't one of the people clamoring for it. That's cool.

Considering that I've never even attended a raid in the current format, probably not.

Agreed on both.
Furthermore, considering the increased leveling speed and restrictions on trial accounts, they might also want to purge all names below level 15 on inactive accounts.

You seem to be doing some sort of calculation; if X names are taken by now, there will hardly be any names left after double the current duration. I contend that the number of 'taken names' is currently TRIVIAL and will not suddenly become mathematically significant in another five years.

Let's see, I was making an earth controller with empathy secondary and the character is an alchemist. So I wanted a name like 'Doc' and something related to earth. Got my first try: Doc Volcanic. And this was on FREEDOM.

Ah hah!
I want my sword to have a cape! How about that?

To be precise, Fire gets no defense. Dark gets 5% to all in Cloak of Darkness.

The person using the handle 'tanstaafl' wants a free lunch. Ironic, yes?

No, you're right. I can say this from experience. Once I get a good assortment of inspirations, I can go for multiple missions with the tray full (on my /regen, I usually close the tray completely). I still get the other drops.

On what? Nowhere in Horatio's post does he say that the Grounding Ray prevents the use of Unstoppable.

That was the only unwise part.

Well, the best advice is something that it's too late for you to take advantage of: bring a debuffer. Adding a radiation or dark defender to that line-up would make it a dramatically different fight. Adding two debuffers would make him your bi..... um.. hapless victim.

The nukes are a good idea; just don't fire all of them at once. You need to pace yourselves since he has over 120,000 hit points. You should probably get new Shivan Shards also, since there are only 4 of you. Everyone drop a Shivan, then fire the biological mutagens. Then fire the Chemical Burn on Reichsman. The Nuclear Blast isn't as useful since it's just damage (well, it also affects endurance but that's irrelevant in this fight).

Really, a -regen power would be best and the missiles don't provide that. The entire TF doesn't take much over an hour with any sort of decent team.

Yes. And it uses that same animation if you jump while standing still. Furthermore, if you are strafing (running sideways), there is a THIRD jump animation.

Confirmation posted on the forums, no.
Verbal confirmation on the test server from a dev, yes. But since that involves trusting someone's word, I guess that counts as no confirmation.

Here is my reply to the quote.

Let me give you some actual numbers. I keep track of how much CoH I play and I also have a program called BitMeter running that keeps track of my internet traffic and gives daily, weekly and monthly charting.

I'll watch an occasional video online, visit lots of web sites (articles, product reviews, blogs, etc) and play CoH a lot (30+ hours a week). In addition, before they reduced the requirement for the healing badges, I would run overnight heal farms with two accounts in an arena event while I slept. So in a month with 35-40 hours a week of actual playing, then 40-60 hours of two accounts sitting in the arena, I never exceeded 12GB per month downstream.

Unless, of course, you go for a CPU with 3 memory channels, in which case you'll probably want your RAM in a multiple of 3.

I submit that, since you are posting here and participating in this discussion, your reference to "you people" includes yourself. Sorry, but posting on the forums that "you forum posters don't represent me" is rather silly.
YOU ARE ONE OF US!
YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED!

um, are you being serious or are you being silly on purpose?

What they mean, is that the vet players got to the 'good names' first, used them, and retained them. For example, I once set up a time to play with a RL friend who I had not previously teamed with in CoH. He showed up with a dark/dark scrapper named Midnight. I asked him how early he made that toon, to get it with the correct spelling and no punctuation. He said he was in the original beta. THAT is what people are referring to.

Having explained what they mean, I think they should take a hike. I think the name system is just fine and there are plenty of 'good' names still out there. I made a technology tanker, a guy in a suit of powered armor. I figured the name Alloy would be taken. Surprise! It was available.
