    Nice. One less thing for me to dread going premium for if it ever has to happen. (Yeah I did know the system was on the market, it didn't click that GR purchasers got it free )

    Yes, that was an awesome surprise to hear about shortly before it started and I was able to attend. It took one of my toons from 33-35.5ish and another from 29-32 .

    Buy this for your friend instead:
    http://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Going-R...2033923&sr=8-1

    They'll get 1 month of game time, plus it will permanently unlock all of the features that launched with Going Rogue, including the 4 bonus power sets*, dozens of costume items and emotes, the alignment-switching system and the ability to create a Praetorian character. Your friend will keep all of that on their account even if they decide not to continue subscribing after that first month.

    *(Note that while they'll get Demon Summoning unlocked, Masterminds are considered a restricted AT, so they'll have to either buy the AT, continue subscribing as a VIP player or become a Tier 5 Paragon Rewards customer to have Masterminds permanently unlocked.)
    I thought the alignment system also was VIP only content that got restricted again when you dropped to premium even if you bought GR?(As well as alignment merits and incarnate content(free for VIPs now too)....post Freedom those GR boxes don't have much draw lol)

    For future reference I'm pretty sure all online purchases with NC work that way. They give you a "serial code" but you never see it, it just appears as an item add-able to your account on the webpage.

    (That way you can't use your CC to buy an item....like a VIP Sub, and then pass the serial to your friend instead of putting it on your own account.)

    nice. Maybe i'll finally use some of mine up . 2.25x XP sounds good to me lol.

    What happens with XP Boosters during DXP? I know PXP isn't consumed, but this is the first DXP since Boosters hit and I didn't see any info anywhere on it.
  8. Psychic Guardian
    I think placing them in an SG storage bin might clear the boosts, I'm not sure. Like you said, trading will also remove it. Maybe dropping it into WW will unboost it and let you sell it too? I don't know, I haven't used any still.

So much so that it is no different to me then not having a decent biography for each and every single one of my characters. I've actually lost the desire to play any new powerset on a new character without having that clear cut path of what my power choices will be from 1 - 50. Just the same as not knowing who that character is as defined in a bio. Why? Because it lets me focus on the things we love the most. Actually playing the game. I don't have to make a decision that might cost me a respec later down the line when I've already made that decision prior to ever playing the powerset.

    Because of Mids and my playstyle I "KNOW" my character is going to be badass. It gives me more incentive to get to those new powers. To level the toon up. I don't "think" or "hope" it is going to be badass or just be "ok" at the end. This utility changed the way I approach the game. As much as it's appreciated, all the hard work that goes into development of this fine program, it's a frustration that when a new issue comes out mid's isn't right there with it. We all know it will be updated....but to leave the game for a bit, see a new issue was released with new powersets, immediately check to see if Mids is updated and see that the last update was all the way back in December. One can't help but be filled with a sense of disappointment.

    Then you have to wait for weeks on end for the new release. Then you realize you're not really interested anymore and go back to playing your other toons. *shrug* I know I'm being silly. This scenario isn't always the case but this illustrates the difference one little tool makes for a lot of us. I'm as appreciative as anyone else who has ever used Mids. Keep up the good work, I'll just have to find something else to do until the update drops =D
    This. I have no Dark Control toon, and the small handful of ATOs I slotted I did so knowing it meant a respec for that toon "because they didn't belong there" lol. I love being able to be on a fast-paced team and not be "that guy" standing at the trainer deciding what power to take when everyone else just wants to kill stuff, then possibly being rushed into taking something stupid just to get to the door .

    Double XP?

    POST-ACTION

    So does anyone have plans for DXP this weekend? I'm hoping to find some(non-ae of course) farms, or ITFs when 2 of my lv30-35 alts hit 35. I think I'm gonna focus on Infinite Blade, Spike Laciniatus, Ascended Phoenix and maybe my new debuffer if a team has a particular use for him Irradiated Wolf .

    ah. It was "writing", I searched "write"(and a ton of other wrong things).

    Trying to level up or buy enhancements drives me crazy.
    I haven't tested any of these, but here are the likely suspects;
    Code:
    sound\Ogg\NPCs\Female_ClearThroat_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Female_Cough_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Female_Cough_02.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Male_ClearThroat_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Male_ClearThroat_02.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Male_Cough_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Male_Cough_02.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Mcough1.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Down_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Down_02.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Down_03.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Down_04.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Down_05.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Down_06.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Move_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Move_02.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Move_03.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Move_04.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Move_05.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Move_06.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Up_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Up_02.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Cup_Up_03.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Drink_01.ogg
  sound\Ogg\NPCs\Eat_01.ogg
    I don't know what all that Cup_Move stuff is, it might just be ambient noises not the slurping, but since I didn't test them I figured I'd include it.

    oh and here's this one too, it gets kinda aggrevating if I go afk somewhere like the train station;

    Will update if/when I find the rest of it.

    I was interested in the bases ambient noise. Is there really a file or two that plays in all rooms no matter what items are placed?

    I tried the roman screams, psionic_shockwave_attack01, and a ton of other things, and still couldn't get that scream to go away. Luckily the flies one was a simple fix .

    One thing I found that was weird though, the psionicshockwave sounds under powers didn't modify the power's sound at all lol.

    Lol that's the one I was talking about. An artist in this thread actually created a loginscreen with the same image(laid out different(cropped with no waist/legs)) earlier in the thread, likely before the official devs even thought of using it.

    Edit: Phew. All who requested the instructions all the way back to yesterday have gotten a PM.

    The issue with windows7 is you can't convert your image to the proper file extension. If you already have a 1024x1024 size image(with your image only occupying the top 1024x768) you can post your image here or PM one of us and we could convert it and send it back to you ready to use.
  20. Psychic Guardian
    hmm. I'll look at the list. I bet it has something to do with being a "voice" sound. And another hm...I think PsychicBlast and all it's proliferated sets came out around i12...issue of Cimerora, and romans also scream. I'll look into that.

    Thanks for the help, I just got that Fly Trap this afternoon and after 5mins that noise had me muting the PC lol

    Edit: NICE Beast Mastery is already in there. I skimmed over the Intrepid Informer on that....I was not excited to hear the pet's name is "Howler Wolf" lol . Now if I think of a concept to use that set with he'll be named Mute Wolf haha.

    I agree. We better go get some kittens .

    I want my converters(and Inf to be had) nao!
  22. Psychic Guardian
    Did I miss one somewhere, or is there just going to be maintenance? From the sounds of Clockwork01 the failed(lack of) launch of Converters was due to a minor oversight, was hoping it'd be fixed today.(Or yesterday, or tuesday afternoon....). If there isn't a patch today then there won't be til at least next tuesday. i22 had several bugs.....

    lol nice.
  24. Psychic Guardian
    Have you recent requesters gotten PMs or do I have some copy/paste/PMing to do? lol.

    Also for everyone who has already set a custom just a heads up the default was changed with i22. It's now Statesman valiantly taking gunfire(they kinda stole an early poster in this thread's concept hehe ).

    Although I don't always love their finished product/image choice I appreciate the artist's work, and I personally made sure to at least take a look at the new one .

    On trials yes. But it requires 20threads for a common instead of the only 4 shards needed. I streetswept the 54 neighborhood of NewDA with a team of farmers, mine was Tier4'd everything. With a kin we were making them look like lv10s, and in 45mins I seriously got about 3 threads. I could get more solo incarnate progress farming the Cimeroran wall solo for shards. DA might give good ixp for those that still need it, but for any of my toons with all slots unlocked they won't be wasting time in DA.

    I hate seeing the World Designers/Artists spend so much time on beautiful work only to have the content neglected because "the numbers dev" made the area's rewards unattractive(like some trials).
