    the thing about that is, in my most recent experiences in the market red side is actually MORE expensive. On the things i've been watching anyway.

    I'm just sharing the most recent dev statement on the topic. I haven't seen anything else posted by them on this topic.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh I understand, i just thought it was interesting that the trend seems to have reversed where red side is more expensive.

    or you could pick up a copy of one of the older editions on Amazon for a buck+shipping.


    I myself just picked up every version I was missing on both of my accounts for 65 bucks. 28 of which was the City of Heroes Collector's DVD Edition.


    that's 3 months of time added to one account, and 5 for the second(a total of 8 months) for 65 bucks instead of 120. I think it worked out well in the long run. lol

    No. So far as I know the buffs should remain the normal default colors. They specifically said something about that recently. I don't have a clue where, but I have the impression that they don't want drive-by buffing to be a problem.

    the way the pictures look make it seem like the bubble/effect produced will be colored as well, see the AM effects shown here and the sonic bubble here and here

    So lemme get this straight:

    Stealth (pool power) + SS with Stealth IO = invisibility?

    How about
    Stealth (pool Power) + Stealth IO slotted in Run = ?

    Which one is greater? Invisibility or Stealth+SS with stealth IO?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    to correct, in PvE



    SS with Stealth IO = invisibility.

    you don't need the power Stealth with that combo.

    Stealth + Sprint slotted with Stealth IO = invisibility

    SS + Sprint slotted with Stealth IO = invisibility

    While the panel did give us a teensy bit of extra info (which ... well, I don't wanna be the one getting modded since I know it was something that was NOT supposed to be slipped out... so I won't say) there was no timetable announced.

    I have pix. I also have video of one particular bit, which I'll clean up and post shortly.

    I've been doing ticket runs on red side frequently to finish my brute build, and the most clueless AT I have run into are Masterminds. If I get on a team that has more than two, I jet. I just can't do it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hit me up if you're on Victory some time. I'm in a Masterminding mood Currently in the process of getting one to 50, but making a new arc delayed him by about a week.

    And no, I'm not a terrible player

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Why do people find masterminds hard to play? If you can play a simple RTS...then you can play a mastermind! Even if you CAN'T play an RTS to save your life...understanding game mechanics isn't hard.

    The problem is that most MMs don't seem to like to actually control their pets or realize that they have other teammates to consider. I don't use binds or macros for my pets and I never have problems controlling them when necessary.

    There is nothing wrong with the MM AT.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I have to agree.

    I absolutely love my Msaterminds, I've got 3 at 50, and I'm working on another one(currently 43), and will likely roll a demon/thermal or demon/traps when we get 'em.

    Though I do use the number pad binds for micromanaging, But that's just because I hate using the mouse when I can avoid it, camera controls are just inches away from my pet commands, and it makes a good time when I'm dual boxing my masterminds(never on teams)


    Although that's not to say that there aren't TONS of horrible mastermind players out there especially the new ones spawning from AE farming, even I'm hesitant about teaming with people I don't already know anymore, and I was a PUG [censored] for years.

    It's generally a good idea to set it to whatever the resolution of your desktop is. The option to change resolution is located in the Graphics and Audio tab in the Graphics section, it'll be the first option you see in that section that has a drop down. in the drop down menu there will be a list of resolutions, there should be one with (desktop) next to it.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    And you get to these options by Clicking Menu in the upper right (or just press the "\" backslash key), then click Options near the bottom of the list (or just press the "O" key with the menu open).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    that was already explained a couple of posts up, so i left it out, since the OP seems to actually read things instead of jumping around, heh

    it's likely the second one.

    Changing your resolution to something bigger than 800x600 will help that quite a bit.

    Some older PCs may not be able to handle games on higher resolutions, so the alternative is to lower the scale of your windows, which can be found in the options under the Graphics and Audio tab in the User Interface section.
  16. the restrictions place on trial accounts(found here) are there because of the RMT "Gold Sellers" who were, and still are, doing their advertising in game. they would send tells, emails, team invites, broadcasts, the works. now trials are limited to only a few channels, can't join Super Groups, cant' form teams, etc


    An alternative for your teaming issue is to ask someone in Atlas Park or Galaxy if they could help form a team by inviting you and your son to a team and quitting, leaving the two of you on a team together.

    Most people would be happy to help.

    The way it's set up here is a thousand times better than one of those 'go to first post' boards. if there is a thread that you're following, and left off on the last post in that thread when you closed the window, and several more people post in it, guess what? You're left to dig tour way through the thread for where you left off instead of jumping straight to the new posts, that is so much more of a pain in the [censored] than having to press a little 1 or the home key to get to the first topic that you haven't started reading yet.


    Edit: granted, the option to be used either way would be best, but if there aren't options like that, the jump to new post is prefered over the open to first post method.

    *skips to end to say...*

    Please do not pick me at all. I don't want in Closed Beta for I-16. I do not want to attempt to try things to make sure that the game is solid. I do not want to be helpful to the devs at all. I see no point in being picked for this silliness when it will not be very much long after Closed Beta that Open Beta, and then Live happens, and then I'll get to see what things look like. No sir/madam, I'm a happy camper to await Live on this. Really, I am. Thanks, but no thanks, I'm good.
