Change my Twilight Grasp when you can pull it from my cold, dead... er... grasp. Of all the Heals on all my toons, I love TG the most, and I dont slot it for the Debuffs, just for fast accurate Healing. As soon as I can, I slot 1 Acc, 3 Heals and 2 Rech. Obviously combined with other bonuses in my arsenal; it is on the high end of accuracy and heals and plenty quick for most circumstances. But even a tricked out Emp/Pain loses a few. Tweak it a bit and find what works best for you, but dont change it; it works just fine.

And if people just expect you to be their own personal Heal-Bot; they deserve to suck pavement. EOS. Survival depends on everyone working as a team.

You know, a quick fix for new tilesets without really having to produce new tilesets would be just to slap the tiles in the old graphics proggie and swap the colors a bit. Like I am about sick to death of the burnt orange carpet theme for Offices. Hasnt anybody heard of slate blue, or I would even go for the old 70's throwback avocado carpet; howabout a deep purple pile? Change the paint on the walls too and you instantly have dozens of new color configurations to work with. Just let the RNG do it's job populating the missions with new colors.

I am a firm believer in the Standard Code Rant, but this has got to be a magnitude easier to do than to come up with and implement whole new tilesets. At least it would be a stop gap measure, and you would be surprised what a simple color change would do to the same old maps.

With a tip of the hat to Red Valkyrja; just for comparison purposes:

In the US, the ESRB Rating is:
TEEN
Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.

In the EU, the PEGI Rating is:
16+
Titles rated 16 are suitable only for persons of 16 years of age or older. Some situations include moderate to strong action violence, mild references to gambling, and rude humor.

This makes them a close match. Besides the Ratings Systems are just for informational purposes aa to what the game provides by itself. The GM's are tasked with Mod'ing the activities of the subscriber base in order to keep that Rating. So, without further info as to what the OP thought "was a funny name", we have to rely on the GM's, and I will live with that because I would rather have the rule of law than an anarchy. Those who wish anarchy usually dont last long anywho.

I truly wonder what the name could have been when we have the NPC Dominatrix as a viable Teen/16+ name. Actually, this is a good example of a possible borderline, but technically 'valid' name for the game's rating. It's all in the way one 'reads into' the character (whether maturely or immaturely). The name (Dominatrix) is not necessarily an adult term. Just because the proper name for a female who dominates (has power over something) has been appropriated by a certain subculture doesnt make it 'adult' by definition. And the ingame description of the NPC is suggestive:

When I hear this suggestion (and yes I have heard it a number of times before); I have to stare in wonder. Although, you do at least give a nod to a slightly-somewhat-kinda plausible reason for the change you desire. Why my discomfiture at this question? Two reasons.

1) IF (and I mean, really, 'if') one goes through all the pain and trouble to create a Build with certain IO Sets, and specifically per your post, Purple/PvP sets; why on earth do we consider that they would be so shortsighted as to not have researched said Build to create it with at least a nod towards frugality in the first place? I mean; in order to Max this 'Awsome Build' out in the first place; they must have researched what they wanted a bit in the first place. So with all the number crunching, they forgot to 'count the cost' of what they were doing? Meh. Anything's possible.

Can this happen? Sure it can. My Main Villain is kinda facing this possible problem as we speak. Of course, he has only ever used 1 Respec (a Freebie a couple years ago) and has the max stock of Earned Respecs, VetSpecs, yada yada; why waste time talking about it. So I can see the possibility and the desire, but the need I do not see; especially with Dual Builds.

And taking the above into consideration; Reason Two begs the question.

2) Is it 'really' to completely change the Build you have gotten to 50 to 'purple out' into a PvP beast, or is it (in my own conspiratorial mindset) that the Player now has another new Character and Build which could make use of many of the Advanced IO Sets better than the 'Now Soon-to-be Abandoned in favor of Another' Character? I hate to say that I (personally) believe it is the latter more likely. But then I dont believe that people are 'basically good and honest' at the core of things. We all raise the Jolly Roger when we want something bad enough; and want what we want, the way we want it, NAO!

Not that I am against this, but then it doesnt necessitate a change either.

But that is what this Forum is for (and also the reason it is in the 'For Fun' Grouping). And Quint has the rationale correct anywho.

And all that just to go along with the Mods desire that I not just say /unsigned. Cant say I dont try to follow the rules.

Also just an FYI to the OP: eventhough it says that it is "Downloading" to Fix the files; it usually isn't. Plus the 'Time' shown to completion is almost always incorrect by a huge factor. I do not know what it is using as a benchmark for completion, but it has been this way for as long as I have played (and downloaded) the game. Not a huge problem. Let it sit and do the work by itself, and you will have the game fixed in no time.

BUT also as stated previously: your rig is pretty underpowered for this game, not to mention what is in store for the game's upcoming upgrades. You 'can' play the game with your present configuration, but it will be on the low end of playability.

Also. If you want to get the 'good' download of the Updater; point your browser to this URL:

ftp://client.coh.com/US/

And chose which of the three forms of the Updater you wish to download. Good luck.

Only two "color names" registered within the last 5 days: Carnie Lyn and Doc Delilah. Further deponent saith not. (And even I am not that A-R to check further back when intell doesnt indicate another 'Purple Name' existing... hmmm, not 'Purple' anywho; it's a 'Violet Name')

Welcomez t'both!

Yeah. I just checked with my son's inactive CoH account, and it does ask for a CC, but I didnt follow through with the Referral. Perhaps when you get an answer from Support on this you would be kind enough to enlighten us here if this is a glitch in the system or a change.

Either way; good luck.

Question: Has your account (KyleVance) been inactive for 90+ days? If not then you would be ineligible for the referral/reactivation time. Although it also states on the "Invite a Friend Back" page that it would show that your account has been inactive for 90+ days on your game account management page.

It may or may not have any bearing; just a thought.

This would effectively add up to a Null. Rewards and Badges would be farmed by Badgers and anyone looking for any type of ingame Rewards. I know I would for my Badgers. Just get my friends together; vote our heads off, and DING! So, now what was the point?

If you wish to prove something by your mad skilz at Creative Costumery; just do it. If you are looking for the approval of your peers; just do it. If you think this will be anything but exploited; you're doin' it wrong.

Suggestions & Ideas are in the For Fun Forum, but I'd /jranger this myself.

Finished! Now to power up the Infamy Bonus DJP. So I leave the Vault (where I got the last Day Job badge), check the Day Jobs... and turn right back around. Guess my new Base of Operations is Cap til I finish the last two Inf Badges.

While interesting; I just dont see much need for this when it is covered 'for the most part' by Coalitions, and being on Team with the appropriate SG/VG's members. Your reasons are just not that compelling.
