  1. Confirmed.. maybe...

    I only have 1 character with a leveling pact, and he has been lvl 50 for a while now, but his pact partner still always showed in the friend window.. but suddenly now it doesn't.

    I know for a fact that neither of our accounts have lapsed in any way.

    That doesn't mean the Winter event caused it though.. It's been a while since I looked at it.

    Just the fact that he still has a Leveling Pact category on the friends list, and my other toons don't, tells me that maybe they just changed it to only show the name when the person is online? He still has the "Leave Pact" button... so he's probably actually still pact'd.

    Wow.. that is certainly odd. Verified!

    Standing idle, you cannot use the ;kneel emote, but if you jump and your character is still in the "landing" stance, then ;kneel works just fine. I then tested Combat stance, and it puts your weapon away, but does not do the emote. It only works shortly after you land without a weapon.

    How silly!

    Better yet: Here's a question about the Master Badges:

    1. Master ITF: a villain has it, can they get a duplicate one if they win as a hero?

    2. Master Khan/Master Barracuda: can a hero turn evil and get the Master Barracuda and still retain their Master Badge from the blueside version?

    3. Master RSF/Master STF: can a character have both?
    Right, they said you'll only be able to have one set of accolades.

    As for as the Master badges go... STF and LRSF are completely separate TFs, so I would imagine you could get both. The ITF is the same TF for both sides. There is no Hero or Villain version. There would be no "both". Khan and Barracuda are separate TFs, but they made the mistake of naming the badges the same thing, so it's unlikely there would be 2 versions.. but that's a good question. The TFs are kinda similar, so they might leave it alone, or simply change the badge names to reflect the contact's name, just like the other signature TF badges.

    Why not? You should be able to be any AT to participate in this.

    Swiss Draw is the match where the first round is four 1v1 matches, and the 4 winners advance to Round 2 where there is 2 more 1v1 matches, then the 2 winners face off in the last 1v1 round for the win. AT shouldn't matter.

    So I just...

    First of all, let's be clear that GR is not yet released. We gather we still have at least a few months before that happens. Also, the resources needed to run the "Ultimate Mode" feature of GR will certainly be higher than the game's current requirements, but they certainly wont be necessary either.

    Next, the link you were looking for to help give us a quick consolidated list of your current computer specs and in-game options is here:
    CoH_Helper
  6. ;praise works just fine for me, but ;kneel does indeed do nothing at all. It's even still listed on the quickchat menu: "Idle > Kneel", but does nothing when clicked there either.


  7. We didn't go for speed.. but we ran over everything in our path. lol

    Why don't people use: http://paragonwiki.com
    It just seems easier to remember since the site name and URL are the same.

    That said.. I just edited my main bookmark to PW as well.

    It simply is not random. If you refuse to believe us, ask the devs.

    Either someone who else was in zone with you was whacking them and you didn't know it (lots of people play in perpetual /hide) or it does count them despawning. It's very, very unlikely that you cause him to spawn yourself. Estimates are that a person clicking gifts solo and defeating their spawns would take several hours to spawn a WL by themselves, given the average rate at which you get Winter Horde spawns and how many you get when solo.
    I'm not saying I don't believe you, nor "refusing" to do any such thing. I am simply stating my experience..

    3am in Nerva... isn't busy at all..

    I was running the whole bottom half of the map and constantly saw the "kneeling" that you describe as the previous spawn died off and the new present spawned. I never saw anybody else. I broadcasted several times with no response. There was never even any response once I advertised WL was up. I went to the north end to see if anybody else was around, and still saw nobody.. I'm pretty sure I was alone.

    That said.. I'm going to take that as the "unspawning" counting in the running total of the zone, like I implied in my last post. It's either that, or it's bugged and not always working as intended.

    Again, I remind that the player notes are global, so if you want a checklist for each toon, you'd have to change the name of the heading for each toon, or simply include all your toons within that one heading... but that may be inconvenient for some people.

    Otherwise.. you'll be pulling up your other character's list when you try to access it again.

    I was only looking to get the Toy Collector badge, so I was just clicking and moving on, leaving the little frostys behind. I didn't even defeat 1 of them, and nobody else was around either... unless if the foes automatically "unspawning" when the new present spawns count also...

    Winter Lord

    Difficulty and/or team size and/or # of players in the zone/area doesn't seem to matter at all.

    I just spawned him solo while alone (as far as I could tell) in Nerva. Then I pulled him to the AE building to drone him, and the portal gift appeared where he originally spawned.

    Edit:
    *removed first sentence

    Getting canes and merits does not necessarily mean Badge credit as well. It's been shown many times with several GMs that you can earn merits without inflicting enough damage to get the badge. The "10%" rule is just a standard people use to ensure badge credit, but the actual value may be less than that.

    CJ.. SJ.. close enough! lol

    Edit:
    Looking at the numbers, it actually looks like CJ might give a better MovementControl rating than SJ does... interesting.
  15. Level 10 has a chance for either Atlas or Kings. Hitting lvl 11 will ensure you get Kings instead.

    Present Routes

    There are s many presents scattered everywhere. There are so many possibilities. There isn't any one perfect path, and even though presents have certain spawn locations, they aren't always there when you go by again.

    Best thing to do is move around and go toward anything flashing, and if you happen to go around in a big circle without many other players around.. then more gifts for you! lol

    CoV Box

    If I recall, you can't use a retail code to just give yourself time on an inactive account. You have to first reactivate the account, then apply the code to get your free time added on. That's why if you don't have an existing active account, it's going to ask you to create one.
  20. Correct, Inertia Reduction is more helpful than anything else on the ski slopes. Super Speed and/or Speed Boost only has a limited effect on how fast you start yourself off the start line because it's the only flat spot you encounter. The rest of the time you are technically falling.

    Combat/Super Jumping has "air control" as well, and I can get gold with just SJ, even though I never jump. Using one IR, I can get down to about 41s.. and with stacked IRs I get it down to about 37 or 38.. this is without any type of runspeed buff whatsoever, and even with a runspeed buff, it doesn't really change my time more than a quarter second at most.

  22. The "follow" command will turn on and off with the same command. You also stop following as soon as you press any other movement key as well.

    As for giving the inspiration.. I don't recall there being a command for it, but I simply right-click the inspiration and press "G", or click the selection for "Give to $target"

    With that in mind, it sounds like you just need to use the standard Follow key.
  23. If you see the "skin" under any of the hair textures, you'll have to change size of your character's head so that it shrinks into the size of the hair.

    I've noticed this on other hair pieces as well.

    Edit:
    I just tested the Braided Buns and had problems with the following head sizes:
    Average 4
    Youthful
    Intellectual
    Thin
    Square

    Strong and Average1-3 worked just fine though.
  24. I think the health status of targets only increment/decrement at an estimation rounded to 5hp.

    If he had something like 7hp, it might show only 5, and even if you hit him for 6, it would still show 5 because it never displays 0. Also, you have to factor in slight regeneration sometimes... which may cause it to look like you didn't even hit him, even though you did.

    It's odd.. but it seems normal to me.
