    They'd probably refer you to Dark_Respite >.>

I want the "bottom half" back, which seems to be the purpose of the "add tab" function.)

    Sorry about the white block. I made a ghetto screenshot.
    When you click on a chat tab in any chat window you have a "Send to Bottom/Top" option - that will restore the split.

    Of course, we could have fun and expose the (my little) ponies to Hrulgin.

  5. Speaking of Blue Steel...

    They need a TF/arc/whatever where CK gets his body back and maybe even gets a date with Penelope.

    Reminds me, my co-worker's little guy seems to get a rash from every diaper brand but one.

    The "house brand" of the store next to work She lucked out on that (but then, Fred Meyer/Kroger and the "gourmet" Private Selection has always been good brands)
  7. in fact, normally on a pure-global enhancement or proc (i.e. no enhancement value in it) lower is better (especially for globals which function as a set bonus). Still true somewhat in a PVP IO as you can slot it sooner.
  8. For the ATI card, grab the Cat 11.9 drivers - the others have issues with City of Heroes.
  9. And at this point other than some costume pieces/sets and some powersets there is no content VIPs do not get with their sub.
  10. The only things you cannot get, ever, without a VIP membership is the ability to interact with the SG Registrar (make SGs/bases, pay rent - you can still edit bases however) and the incarnate system.

    If you have a Going Rogue box code, you keep everything associated with that.

    Most everything else you get "for free" as VIP (some powersets, First Ward, SSAs) can be bought. You can either check the wiki or check the market - anything in the market marked "VIP Content" is free for you while VIP and purchasable as a premium.

I'm currently downloading the launcher and am planning on messing around with a free account for a while just to see if it is still worth it.

    Thank you for any and all information
    If you don't want to you don't have to start a new account - in fact, your should probably play your old one - it will have more perks even as a free (or "Premium") account than a new (aka "Free") account.

    if you have any inventions, they may or may not work. If not, don't forget you can switch to a second build and make that an SO build.

    To see what perks you have, when on the character select screen, choose "Paragon Rewards" - it will show you what perks you have from VIP as a free-play player.
  12. What StarGeek said.

    However, petition is mostly for in-game issues - if there is something wrong with your account, the support site is the way to go. If you have not used it before you will need to make an account there (Support account is kept separate in case of issues with the master account).

    Two things to check - have you tried logging into one of your other Street justice characters, and have you tried making a new one - sometimes you can when this happens and it resets it.

    Now which of those two is more salacious?
    ***-less generally has the connotation of "Bare-***** Chaps" as in, you're not wearing anything under them.

    Crotch-less makes me think of women's undergarments.

    Actually, that would be going in the direction expected and bypassing the stop point expected.

If you level a villain using quests, you're likely to see somewhere on the order of 1-3 EBs per mission arc, which basically amounts to something like 30-50 EBs (or downgraded Heros/AVs).

    I would really like someone to answer why there's that kind of disparity between the 2 levelling tracks. If the difference were 1-2 EBs for the whole journey, I'd chalk it up to just bookkeeping, but facing 50 EBs vs facing 1 EB doesn't strike me as very valid game design, especially when you consider that villains don't get any "advantages" per say vs heroes that I can discern.
    It's like I said - Elite Bosss, as a class, didn't exist until a couple issues after release. Which means the majority of hero content was already done and over with by the time it came out. Only boss I recall being retrofitted was a Warrior boss in a Talos Island arc.

    Now, it's mostly downgraded AVs, but you do get more EBs in the newer content. Kurse and Capt. Narcissim in Faultline, Bubble man in RWZ, etc.

    Basically they never had it, then went a little over, then found a good balance.

    That's what we called Celeron processors in high school.
  18. This isn't a suggestion for the developers - you want the Online Community Relations (OCR) folks.

    Can't recall Zwill's email, but in addition to the suggestions forum you could try the facebook or twitter accounts for CoH.

    You know that will just make the people after a support or ranged set chaff at the bit even more for what they want.

I just plain fly over buildings. I jump from the bottom to the top of cliffs. And it is always jarring when I switch to most other MMOs and I can *see* it, but can't actually *move to it*.

    Not to mention: spending most of your time jogging slower than you can in real life. It sometimes borders on the pathetic unless the scenery is really, really *really* good.

    5. Chat. Ours is good. Everyone else's sucks. Period the end.

    Ok, that other MMO I can't name? If you forget the comands to chat they have a selector, just like we do. You can basically do the equivalent of talking local, sending tells, talking on the main global channels. Guess what's not there, and I only found this out the first time I needed to do it and it wasn't there. Talk to your team mates.

    Guess it must have slipped their minds.
    #1 - Probably number one reason I don't play the gorilla. At least with Space Epic Online, either you have the travel platforms or plenty of those xp-bonus side quests that pop up as you move.

    #5 - True global chat is awesome, and global friends too. SEO has server-wide faction specific player channels, but still not full global channels or friends.

    Who says you can not PVP inside a mission?

    Let's just say that it's generally not safe to assume anything.
    A safe presumption with this game is anything that is account wide and does not require claiming (which not having a premium account that would need to buy it I'm not sure the IO license is, but would make sense) will be "real time" in it's duration.
  24. Part of the higher instance of EBs villain side is elites did not exist until around Issue 3.
