    Original Luminary is a guy named Kit.

    The current robotic Luminary was a wedding gift modeled after Kit's wife for figure.

    If you are referring to the Bright Star badge, that should be a "he".

    1. Is Paragon Studios actually working on CoH2 now? No: the new game is based on different IP. Probability: zero.

    2. Does Paragon Studios have another dev team working on CoH2? No: there isn't the body count to do that. Probability: essentially zero.

    3. Could NCSoft be working on a CoH2 without Paragon Studios. Theoretically possible, but essentially ridiculous. Probability: virtually zero.

    4. Is it likely Paragon Studios would begin work on a sequel with the current CoH dev team? Very unlikely. The logistics would be a nightmare, and many of the senior developers took positions with the other dev team. Probability: < 1%.

    5. Would Paragon Studios cease development on CoH to devote time to CoH2? Also unlikely. While Paragon Studios is generating revenue from CoH that's irrational. If it gets to the point they aren't, a sequel itself would be unlikely. Probability: < 1%.

    6. Is there any other possible way for a CoH2 to be created within the next ten years? Not that I can see. Probability: < 1%.

    7. Even if a CoH2 was miracled into existence, would it be compatible with CoH1? Nope. You don't make new games that are identical to old games, and without the current game's mechanics and power architecture, the game wouldn't be remotely compatible. Characters would not be portable or exchangeable. CoH2 would at best be connected by IP, but not by game mechanics or transferred characters. Probability of compatible CoH2: < 1%.
    And probably the only reason both EQ and EQ2 are still going (strong? Not sure...) is EQ is old enough to be "light" on server architecture I'm guessing, and it had a big enough player base to "survive" the split. Although, I think EQ has dropped from about 40+ servers as I recall in 04 to about a dozen, I think.

    You've basically got two sets of unlocks, one for VIP and one for Prem, and once you pick 'em they stay like that, no matter how much you switch.
    Prem or VIP when you do it, assigning a global character slot makes it into a server slot. When you change sub status, all your server slots should un-allocate.
  4. I need to remember to ask if the issue with G keys and some of a macro being dropped is CoH, them, or some combo. Namely, if even with a slight delay after "/" I'll get "/d "Repeat Offenders" is not a valid command" or some variation.

    I think many of the players feel the first week was better. It allows those of us at work, for example (and at work that does not involve being able to surf the net at the same time) to have a chance.
  6. My first thought was of tanks, actually.

    And near double - genocide, but it was mainly the tanks.

    I know they can take taunting powers, but they cannot take Taunt nor Confront - being picky I know but eh.
  8. One note about sets vs allowed enhancements -

    All enhancements of a set are treated as a single type of enhancement (Taunt for Perfect zinger) as far as "what is allowed").

    This means you can slot Def/recharge IOs into passive defense powers, for example, because the game simply reads it as a defense IO and not recharge which you cannot normally slot.

    This is why, for example, Dark Servant cannot take any pet sets, as they are all marked (primarily) as damage sets.

    Don't know if I would say it's that big/frequent (I keep using the AoE finisher) but it definitely helps. Also good if you can grab a Theft of Essence proc for Dark regen.

    No, it's every. Everything that shows up under "Account" items (aka the middle of the three email windows) has been awarded and is "Account-wide" so each and every character can claim it.

  15. I think you and Iron blade are confusing each other.

    At level 22 you can go to talos or Sharkhead and buy/use level 25 SOs from the stores, still.

    I like apple. I don't go around bashing android whenever something comes up for them and not on an iThing.

    Thank you for the time...
    NausicaƤ was probably the second anime I ever saw... (first being the movie-series version, pt 1, of macross/Robotech.

    Am I'm pulling a memory of them finding a wall full of TVs into other people's apartments from that show, or another sitcom?

    Thank you for the time...
    I miss that so.

    And of course, another Tim Curry doing an excellent villain. *goes to watch clue*

    And speaking of janeway - Dragon Age and Warehouse 13 too.

    Both of those seem to attack ex-Star Trek actors. Wonder who'se next for W13.
  19. How'd this go 7 days without comment?

    I enjoyed it; it was what I expected.

    I find a move can e more enjoyable if it portray's itself as what it is in the trailers - and the things such as the hotwheels tracks, etc. was perfect.

    Stage downloads?

    Try quitting the game. Start the NCSoft launcher, and click on the arrow by city of heroes. Choose either "download" or "repair". This should get it to download faster vs letting it download in the background while playing in the costume creator

    With how many showings I saw when looking up wednesday in 2-D, and none in 3, It's definitely not in 3-D.

    Not a bug. It should be more clear (at least for Posi) but not a bug.

    And Hawk - did you tone down the Blast Masters? Demolitionists as minions they are, and hard hitting.
