  1. I don't know If Leandro's original patch used any info from the beta but the one I did to adapt it to version 1-8100 was just a copy and paste of his and was not done with any knowledge from a beta I'm not in.

    Does this mean Energy_Aura just broke the NDA? Only reason I can see to think it used beta numbers is if you were in beta and the numbers match so that means he's giving out beta info.

    If they can't make the backpack flag turn off when you switch builds what makes you think they could do it with a no back slot item flag?

    Why can't a Nictus be the Big bad? What if it's Dirge of Entropy or some other big wig?

    So, after updating on test and playing around a bit, I found that the live client is simply missing or has misplaced the artwork for the badge and therefor anyone that doesn't want to wait for the update to come to the live servers can extract this into the data folder in their City of Heroes folder to fix the omission.
  5. I came up with this, it uses the up coming Bio Plasma body and eyes Aura.

    I use a modified version of this:

    http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Master...d_Pet_Controls
    I have the macros set up to call popmenus. I only need 3 macros to pick which command (goto, attack, follow) I want to use then I pick which group of pets it will effect and what stance they should take.

    But anyway, they're just simple images. Corva_NA made a pack of New Power Icons, and the MM Pet Icons get replaced, along with other stuff:



    There they are. In order: Attack My Target, Follow Me, Heel, All GoTo, All Stay.
    This is Corva_NA's current default pet command icon set, he has the gray background for the stance icons as an alternative.


    As for getting go to onto your tray, if you switch to advanced mode, once you give them the command, the go to icon does persist and you can drag it.

    Riktus, Riktius would be Riktii in the plural.

    Heroes can get the arc at level 10, Villains at 30, you should be able to get the badge earlier if you team with someone on the badge mission. Praetorians obviously can't take either mission until after they leave Praetoria but we will be gaining the ability to go back so there's some justification, not much mind you, as everyone will already be able to access it through the existing doors.

    Had to look at the full list of contacts to get it myself, at which point I felt like kicking myself, I even had the thought "but what contact gives out more than 2 missions at a time." It is in the contact list and the wiki does call it a contact, so while the clue feels misleading, it's a pretty common style for crossword clues.

    13 is not usually thought of as a contact but a device you get around level 5. 109 is just a term for any AT that doesn't usually have defense/resistance powers.

    Number 29 down should probably be reworded to explicitly call mention to the fact that you're talking about the physical server machines, and not to the server lists or something in game. It took me a while to realize that.
    Also, if you go by Paragon Wiki only the NA servers are located there not, as the clue says, all of the servers.
  18. As far as I know the one in Leandro's post is still for the last version of Mids and wont work for the new one. Use the one in mine or Kheldarn's post.

    BABs test to show why players can't have more than one cape may have been done with NPCs but it was most certainly done to show why players can't have them, not to show why they can't exist at all. The devs have control over how many Mobs with multicapes appear in one place. They tend to be rare and not show up in large numbers. With players there are no such limiters.

    You are right, I thought he still had the stars, and if it links to the Roman Republic Praetors and their guards rather then Emperor's guards they later became, it wouldn't raise too many flags pre-hamidon wars.

    While I agree that its the best fit so far, the problem I see with "Praetorian" is that it seems at odds with the fact that his suit still has Statesman's patriotic themed costume as its base.

    The assassin would only be eliminated when the new ruler is from within the the existing government, to add an air of legitimacy to the new regime. In coup, the old system is often demonized and the assassin made into a hero.

    I' pretty sure there's no rule in place that says killing the former ruler makes you the ruler.
  24. I think "Vigilant - Determined" and "True to the Last" should be merged into one entry, they are the 3 versions of the loyalty program badge.

    Unless I'm mistaken, 26 down should be denoted as an abbreviation, otherwise I enjoyed it.
