That what loyalty means. If you lapsed for a couple of weeks, you were not Loyal.

If it had been a day or so while sorting out a billing problem, you might have been able to /petition for it, but unfortunately I think you are stuck this time. Sorry

And just to debunk the rumors ahead of time, the game does NOT read the commands from right to left.. it still reads them from left to right... but Rangle M. Down IS correct in his description.

What technically happens is this:

• key is pressed
• powexectoggleon Tough
• powexectoggleon Weave overrides Tough
• powexectoggleon Unyielding overrides Weave
• powexectoggleon Invincibility overrides Unyeilding
• Invincibility activates
• key is released and the commands are re-parsed
• powexectoggleon Tough
• powexectoggleon Weave overrides Tough
• powexectoggleon Unyielding overrides Weave
• Invincibility is already active and does nothing
• Unyielding activates
• key is pressed a second time
• powexectoggleon Tough
• powexectoggleon Weave overrides Tough
• Unyielding is already active and does nothing
• Invincibility is already active and does nothing
• Weave activates
• key is released and the commands are re-parsed again
• powexectoggleon Tough
• Weave is already active and does nothing
• Unyielding is already active and does nothing
• Invincibility is already active and does nothing
• Tough activates

The same type of thing happens every time powers are executed in a bind or macro, and makes some people think the commands are read in reverse. Binds or macros that do not include power activation (toggleOFF of multiple powers works with only 1 keypress) should be written with the expectation of being executed from left to right.

That number at the bottom of the Search list shows you how many MATCHES to your search results that were found. When you /hide from searches, you can not be a match because you are not included in the search.

Your results are truncated to 50 names when there are more than 50 results to your search. People who use /hide from searches will NOT show up on that list, will NOT count as a match and will NOT count in that number at the bottom. To test this, simply narrow your search results to a specific zone or lvl range instead. You'll see that number match exactly how many people are shown, once your search results are less than 50.

The idea is to run those reports in the same state your computer would be in when you run the game. So, get your computer "ready" to run the game like you normally do, and instead of clicking on the CoH shortcut, run the utility. That gives a better indication of what is normally running while you run the game.

On a side note, have you always been using DirectX 10 on Windows XP? As far as I am aware, it's not officially supported, and might not be reliable. (But I don't see how it would cause an issue with a particular window in the game either. lol I was just curious.)

The only thing I can tell you about the contact window is that every picture of the contact is actually another 3d environment containing that contact. It does cause problems on some systems, but I have a hard time believe your system specs are to blame this time. lol

Here is a picture for proof of concept:

Supergroup items shown in Costume and Contact's 3d environments.

Does the same freeze occur when you open the Costume selection window?

You forgot this:
Second of all, the slots being gone has nothing to do with a new issue.

Where did you hear that? If the slots are regulated by the Store, then they will continue to be missing any time the store is down. That's apparently the way it's always been. The only thing different about last week is that the store has been down for several consecutive days, so people are noticing it more.

That SF, IIRC, has had a spawning issue in some circumstances for some time now. I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet.

You are right, support usually wont autocomplete the mission for you on a TF, but they usually teleport the stuck enemies to your location so that you can kill them.

As for them not showing up? I don't know what to tell you. I've always had them show up in a situation like that. sometimes as soon as a minute or two, but usually closer to 10 minutes. Though I admit on more than one occasion it took close to a half an hour as well.

What category are you using for your /petition?
/bug usually wont get in-game attention, and I find that *Stuck gets the fastest response.

Loyal Through Thick and Thin
Loyalty Program players are:
Loyalty Program players will also receive exclusive loyalty badges: "Vigilant" for Heroes and "Determined" for Villains, which will be enabled within one week after the promotional period has ended.

The Detectives? Yeah it gets annoying over time. I guess it would be some kind of violation to broadcast on the police channels, so you have to go downtown to see what's going on? lol

Lord of the Rings

lol It's no problem at all. There is nothing to apologize for. The reason I didn't send a file is because it's bad enough that Tabby is starring in a Freedom arc as a drunk.. lol It's kinda funny, but I dunno if I want to star in any other arcs. I'm sorry. I'm sure you've got other people you can throw in there.

So did you include me? You came by one day and was like "haha! that's the costume I'm using for my arc now. I gave you a chance to send me a file" lol

I guess I'll be checking it out and I'll know soon enough anyway. :P

Right now I'm defragging, or I'd run it now... but it shouldn't take too much longer.

Same here, the main page shows me logged off.

I use http://boards.cityofheroes.com/usercp.php as my bookmark and I operate strictly from there, so I didn't notice before.

Even weirder is that http://boards.cityofheroes.com/ we are logged off, but...
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/index.php I am logged in.

Yes, one in every spawn for me, so that's a dozen or so for every "lap" you do around the buildings.. and YES, difficulty and team size used to seem to help spawning more of them. I'd guess the new settings would make it easier to solo.

Even if you don't want to farm it for long, just take a lap or two inbetween missions, or once each day you play and it still wouldn't take you long. The Ills on the other hand, you would have had to certainly farm. If you get a good map and set it up the right way it could take less than a half an hour, but I wouldn't call that easier than the masks.

Mine says:
And that's what time it is right now.

BP masks spawn every "night" in SE Talos by the dozens. Then you can just jump over to DA during the "day" and pick up a few more inbetween day cycles. Their lvl range was lowered recently so they spawn all over DA now, instead of just certain red areas of the zone. It never takes me longer than a couple cycles to earn this badge. Sometimes I even pick up a few Sorcerers along the South end of DA while I'm waiting for the next "night".

I don't know why they are linked to the store either. It seems to me that CLAIMED slots should automatically reserve that space on the server, and the store shouldn't be involved at that point. But anyway.. it doesn't seem to have anything to do with i16s release, or any kind of bug. It's just an inconvenience due to downtime.

TY!

..and that reminds me.. I have to get my rear in gear and get November's ready. September has gone by fast, and I like to stay a month ahead. haha
