    I can't give a link, but I pretty sure one of the Devs said it could be done but that it would either be a lot of work and really limited (redoing all the maps to add anchor points where it made sense for them to be) or it would look stupid (grapple to nowhere).

    The devs have said that relationship is no longer canon so you should really stop acting like it still is.

    Would seem to indicate we should be level shifted to 54, If I'm reading the wiki right, by the end of the Incarnate levels.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the AVs in Ramiel's first mission con yellow when they should con purple?
    edit: I checked and they do con yellow even though they are level 50 AVs, which would seem to lend credence to the only 2 level shifts theory.

    The raid is suppose to be the Mother Mercy Hospital not the BAF.
  7. As I understand it, Ouroboros needed to be 2 zones because contextual dialog didn't get implemented till i12, and the ability to limit what missions could be set based on which faction was on the team didn't come till i13. The problem which might still remain would be whether a contact can give out different missions (the Pilgrim, Silos and the Crystal mission lists) and if a transit list can limit access based on Alignment

    PPD belt

    I19 introduced a bug that caused the Praetorian PD belt to not show up on male characters, having it on looks no different from picking none. Huge and female characters weren't effected.
  9. Why do people try to have a discussion about morality with GG? It's like watching some one bang there head against the wall, you aren't going to change her mind.

    That is the easiest and most effective method.
    However, opening up other files and editing them as such is indeed too "tricky" for some.
    I agree completely, the existence of a work around shouldn't be used to justify not implanting something. Power's can be saved as a whole or as just the primary or secondary alone, I don't see any reason not to make costumes savable as a whole or broken down into outfit or scales.

    It's not all that tricky, you just open the 2 files and copy and paste the scales.

    *confused*
    I believe it's to update the file manifest that allows Sentinel to collect data from CoH.
  14. I believe Tool Tips are what you mean and as far as i know its a bug and I agree it should be fixed.

    Oh, you mean the window.

    Yes, that is what I always do, I resize it so that no button overlaps and the box becomes bigger. Nevertheless, next time I log in, it has reset to its original shape and form.
    Have you tried saving the window settings after resizing?

    lead the heroic Silent Blade into villainy? Silent Blade has always been an assassin. In one rogue mission in the 30s, you have to save her sister from her. In some of the level 50 hero missions you can save her from being killed by her clan after she refuses to kill some of her targets.

    That said, I'm still very much in favour of this and I don't oppose suggesting it. In fact, I have a couple of new "tweaked" pics to share just for the occasion:



    and

    Is there some secret to doing that? Every time I try to swap one model texture for another it gets screwy.

    The Rune Of Warding graphics would great as alternate emanations, and the Midnighter's staff animations for blast sets would be good too.

Nasty suckers, I'm fairly sure the mez lasts 30 seconds easily. Probably a minute.

    All toggles either drop or get suppressed when mezzed. The suppression mechanic just replaced getting detoggled. And yes, mez protection toggles did drop before suppression was added if you got mezzed too.
    From the i13 patch notes:
    Quote:
    Status protection powers still provide Hold, Sleep and Stun protection, even while other defenses are suppressed.
    I was under the impression that more of them stayed up but some of the Mez protections are at the very least suppose to.
  21. Since I'm logged in, for anyone interested in seeing that Performance Shifter is a percent rather than a flat amount:


    And for ease of comparison, If I'm the math right, Performance Shifter is, on average, +11.9% recovery, the first level 50 IO is +10.6%, Numina is +10% and Miracle is +15%

    As far as I recall Mez protection is the only aspect of toggles that doesn't suppress when Mezed.

    Performance shifter gives on average .2, the first level 50 IO in Stamina gives .177 on most Ats or .1855 on VEAts.

    How's this, then?
    "Maybe you enjoy spending a half hour running around the map with taunt on auto, watching the AV's health bar creep down, and occasionally dying because you dodged into someone else's patch that was off-screen a moment ago? Because I sure don't."
    The first time I tried the BM encounter, I was too busy jumping out of the blue patches to contribute much on my tank. The second time, I realized I didn't need to panic and jump uncontrollably about. Instead, I started walking to just passed the edge of the blue patch and taunted BM and she would almost always walk over to me a few seconds after the blue patch animation finished and I was able to contribute as much as I ever do against AVs on my tank. I'm guessing that the next time I try it I'll be able to back her far enough out of the patch that other meleers could attack her as well.
