Well, since we're all pantless on Triumph anyhow, Pocket D ERP would be sorta meh. We're sorta desensitized at this point.

Textfighting, OTOH, is just plain weird. But we're already getting some practice in. KRM is quickly becoming Triumph's godmod.

Welcome to Triumph! Please place your pantaloons in the supplied receptacle and enjoy your stay.

So... everyone's just going to be doing what we on Triumph do every day? How quaint

That's why WoW uses them; it's virtually impossible to break the cypher that generates the next OTP (One Time Password). Without the Username, Password, and OTP, one cannot log into the account, even if compromised by a keylogger, since the OTP changes for every login session.

Edit: My biggest problem with NCSoft's security is and has always been the restriction to alphanumeric characters. One could easily build a strong password using special characters such as $%@# and the like, but PlayNC Master Accounts won't let one use anything but alphanumeric characters - making brute force or dictionary attacks more effective, to a degree.

When you say "Permanent Power", what do you mean? A crafted power via Invention Recipe & Salvage? Part of a Booster Pack?

Personally, I think it would be overpowered to give every character a self rez they can have all the time, especially one that rezzed one to full health as suggested. Certain ATs have self rezzes; others have Rez Other. There's a reason why this is a temp power - making it a permanent addition to all characters would reduce the usefulness of certain ATs, and cause certain powers to become "skippable" altogether. After all, why take Stygian Return, for example, when you have Renewal of Light?

I use the City Vault!

Wait... scratch that

Sounds like malware, or something a malicious browser tool is using to redirect certain DNS queries to other, less trusted destinations. Try downloading & running LavaSoft Ad-Aware or any other spyware/malware search program, as most vanilla antivirus programs won't pick these up.

And no, this isn't a CoH process. CoH only runs off of one process (cityofheroes.exe).

I read this crap yesterday, and it's all just a bunch of unsubstantiated rumors AFAICT. New news, please.

Just from a cursory point of view, AFAICT, Swift unslotted increases Run Speed by 0.35, or 35%. This certainly makes it worth slotting. Add in the fact that, AFAIK, Swift doesn't suffer from Travel Suppression, I'd say go for it.

Sprint improves Run Speed by 50% and also doesn't not suffer from Travel Suppression, so you would get more bang per Enhancement out of it, but it's a toggle that also uses Endurance (0.14625 / 0.5 secs), while Swift is Always On and costs no Endurance.

As you can see, there are pros and cons either way.

Edit: that's just for generic enhancements; not considering sets.

<QR to OP>

When you find out, lemme know

I blame Ross for the lack of info. And the rest of the Marketing Dept. So quick to keep info from players, so seemingly lax to let anything slip... or even advertise

I'm not really anxious, I just like bagging on Marketing people.

Sounds good to me, as long as they don't push me away from using the tram as previously stated.

I'm beginning to notice a trend on the forums...

Redirect to existing thread on same subject on same forum ->>>

Also, scooped.

I hope that, since they're looking into vulnerabilities anyhow, they start letting us use non-alphanumeric characters for passwords. I have a really strong password I like to use that involves theses characters and can use it on other secure sites... but not for my main NCSoft account, for some bizarre reason.

Good points. Forbin's screenie didn't really answer anything in regards to PlayNC.com specifically, and although I don't see any proof so far that anything is happening, that doesn't mean there might not be a problem... just one that's very hard to replicate. Still, there's no doubt that NCSoft is probably looking into any potential exploit on PlayNC.com, especially now that Massively.com is reporting on the rumor.

I think it's more likely that key loggers and gold buying sites are more likely culprits than PlayNC.com. They're probably looking for accounts that happen to use the same username/ password for their GW accounts as their PlayNC accounts. Once you have the info, it's not hard to do by hand, yet alone through an automated program.

So, is this affecting CoH players, or only GW players? Has CoH had to update their security or login procedures? I only ask because I only play CoH and not GW.
