    There used to be a comic with a player built city called 'Bacon of Hope'... cracked me up because people typo stuff like that all the time and never correct it in MMOs.

    MMMmmm... bacon.

    I've got a couple of alts that I still need to add, at least two of mine and at least one of my wifes. I'll have to do that sometime this weekend.

    I figured out (after doing this a few times) that if it doesn't move or open/close its doors, it's the wrong train... Though it's been a very long time since I've made that mistake.

    I gracefully disagree.

    My three favorite features of the new market UI are;

    Tabs
    Auto-fill prices
    Vertical layout for the bottom pane

    The reason is this; I don't spend a lot of time in the market place. I run by, collect all the pending inf I have, review my bids (to see if I should cancel anything), then drop my salvage in there.

    I drop all of my common salvage in for the same price; 250 or 300 inf. I drop all my uncommon in for the same price; 1000 inf. I also drop all of my rare for the same price (unless the going price is much higher than my default price which is slightly above vendor).

    The three features above make this process take less time.

    There are some times when I play the market a little (find stuff that can be vendored for more than 3x the market price or craft stuff to sell), but for the most part this is how I use the market.

    I can see some of the problems that people are complaining about, but most of them don't affect me often enough to complain. Put me down for pro new market.

    Oh, the one thing that I'd like to see changed the most is if the all tab actually showed everything at once, much like the previous version of the UI.
  5. Ah, didn't think of someone leaving, I deleted a character that was in the SG... dangit, now I need to come up with another 15000 or so prestige to get the teleporter working again.
  6. In an effort to speed the building of my SGs first Teleporter room, I traded roughly 30mil inf for prestige. Afterwards I built a TP room and ended with very little prestige in the positve (1000 or something). I logged in today and found that I have -7416 prestige.

    How is that even possible?

    Edit: That was after selling the AP beacon I had so I could put in a Brickstown one.
  7. If this is your motherboard; http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=3642074

    Then that case should fit. I'm not sure the size of the liquid cooling system, but I've seen several cases where the cooling pump was actually located outside of the case, like so;

    Good luck.

I think its for a pet. check the black market. some of things cost 50 million a pop. this was one of my early toons that i used and didnt know what half the stuff meant was just trying to get bigger overall bonuses.. 168 million at least i should of gotten back... go to the black market recipes for enhancements are very very expensive. 50 SO's are for rookies...
    I see, you were reverse hack jerked.

    The price on the black market for the enhancement has nothing to do with the amount of inf you get for it during a respec.

    Quote:
    Approx 96 slots on a L50 character. Plus 10 "inventory."
    If you had a level 50 (normal) set IO in every slot you'd get back approximately 500K per
    = 53 million inf. There is no way I'm aware of to get more than that.

    If you had a level 50 SO in every slot you'd get back about 5.5 million.

    Simplest explanation is, you misread a zero.

    DO you have about 16 million inf?
    Read that, read the bold part repeatedly until you understand what you did.

    Lets assume that you have the most expensive possible enhancement slotted in every slot you have, these have a crafting cost of 600,000 (there are none that I can find that have a higher crafting cost than that). 94 slots total (including sprint, brawl, and rest) x 600,000/2 = 28.2mil Note that it is impossible, or so close to impossible that it can reasonably stated that it is impossible, to have a build this expensive.

    Based on that, I'm assuming that you didn't have nearly as awesome of a build as you believed you had, making 16 million a much more realistic number.

    Edited to correct math.

    Norton is much more efficient than it was back in the day. Anyone that hasn't used it since prior to 2008 has not used it at all. The newer versions are a completely different animal and actually automatically throttle themselves back when other operations are active on the system.

    I've run a full system scan while playing CoH. It took a long time, but it completed and it didn't slow the game enough to be noticeable (except on load times, it added another 5-10 seconds to those).

    As far as free; you get what you pay for. It might be functional, but it's not likely that it's efficient or effective.

    That was me... I was not mistaken about the AI. I've played this game a lot and know how it works, it just reminded me strongly of a few PUGs I've been on and their behavior. It was a joke that surprisingly few people caught.
  12. Have you tried mapping them via the options menu? What do they show up as there?
  13. This feature is very welcome. I can't count the number of times I've lost a handful of minions in a kill all mission over the years.

    You can navigate the boards and you can move files from one drive to another. You've got more going for you than at least one sysadmin I've met.
  15. Safe mode corrects your graphics settings, you can then change your settings.

    If you didn't, it just picked up your settings when it loaded and fixed whatever was wrong. I've seen stuff like that fix issues in the past such as enabling debug mode or booting a machine into safe mode... it just forces it to recognize settings that it was missing before sometimes. *shrug*

Walk before you can run, many people have gone for instant gratification of levels and just completely missed how to play the game in recent times. You will find many old timers on each server willing to help out as althought there is phat lewt in this game, there is not as much emphasis on it till the later game and is not neccessary to do any of the content.

    Welcome to City of Heroes, may your stay be as long and enjoyable as mine

    I know, Ouroboros wasn't an option the last time I played him (aside from last night).
  18. /quit
    That'll exit the game completely.

    There's one to log out to the login screen as well, but I can't remember it off hand.

    EDIT: Same rules apply as normal log out, prompt for you to log out immediately, 30 seconds of online before your character poofs.
  19. Good idea on bringing lunch to work, however I do that already... and it really only saves me about $2 a day.

    I'll probably do a transfer, but I doubt I'll do it within the next month or two... the toon I want to transfer is a lvl 34 version of the lvl 50 I have on Freedom, but he was one of the first characters I made (never got isolator because badges didn't exist yet when he was in the tutorial). I'm pretty sure I would even lose his name, and it's a really cool name.

    Oh well, I guess I wait.
  20. CityBinder is the best one that I'm aware of, but I think this question is in the wrong forum.

    And only running into one or two crazies in an online community that consists of gamers is not likely.

    Odds of that many posting in a thread rapidly approaches 1 when things like AE or nerfs are mentioned.

    Aww... now I'm really bummed... I can't quite justify spending $9.99 to move a character because he has 1 single badge that none of my characters on Freedom have.
  23. I *barely* missed the free character transfers and I have a character on Victory with the Celebrant badge that I'd like to move to Freedom... The problem is; I can't find the cost of a character transfer anywhere.

    I see the instructions on how to do it, but I can't seem to find the actual price.

    Anyone know?

    Mine's currently fixing pigg files as well, it took well over 3 hours to fix the sound.pigg file. It got through that one and is moving on at a slow but steady pace from there. I think there were some major changes to the sound.pigg file which it is changing one at a time... irritating really.
