    coh updater

    Try this from BillZBubba's Guide for Moving CoH or Installing Test (slightly changed). Read the full thread for more help (esp the "Questions you may be asking:" part).

    -----------

    Open your COH directory and make a COPY, not a shortcut, of the cohupdater.exe file to your desktop.

    Run the copy. You will be prompted to reinstall CoH. If your CoH is installed in the normal place (c:\program files\city of heroes), choose yes, otherwise, choose NO to the default installation path and browse to the location where you copied your CoH directory.

    *Be sure to highlight the main directory and NOT one of the subdirectories of your CoH directory. Example: coh should be highlighted and NOT coh\screenshots.*

    The updater should take seconds to complete, leaving you at the coh/v startup screen where you click the Next button.

    Close this screen. You will now see on your desktop Two coh icons. The copy of the cohupdater you created and a new coh shortcut. DELETE the cohupdater copy that you created.

    Personally, I think it should be: All - Invention - Special - Event - Base

    Either that, or allow the tabs to be rearranged, like the tabs in the chat window.

    Check the workbench, some more options were just added in the last issue or two.

    2, base salvage, dr brainstorm token and base salvage tab, it been almost a year and these are well obsolete shouldn't these be heading for the bin by now?
    Check the market, there's still lots of sales in these items. Plenty of people come back every now and then, and some of them still have piles of this old stuff.

    The ignore list is only 100 people long. A patch awhile ago was supposed to increase it to 200, but it was either reversed, or it never took effect.

    Also, to save space, anytime you see an email and the "from" portion says "empty", just delete the email, the account it came from has already been banned.
    As ShadowsBetween said, the character that sent the email was deleted, not the account being banned. If you watch carefully, sometimes you will see an email with a name get deleted when you hit the Spam button on an "empty" named email.

    How fast are you clicking the spam button? I'm guessing that the same spammer had sent you several emails, and you clicked again before the ignore had a chance to clear off the other emails.

    This channel has been around for a while now, but lacking a certain "something" to make it stand out amongst the multitude of global channels out there.
    Well, it's original purpose was to provide an alternative to Protector Watch, which was really drama heavy at the time. Certainly nothing wrong with reusing it.

    So like

    Unfortunately not. I actually had 3 CAB on me when I read this, and tried adding a letter each time until I had the full Catch a Breath. No good.
  13. You can also save a few (very few) characters by removing the quotes around the inspiration names and just replacing the spaces with underscores. For example, I just tried this command it it worked:

    /inspcombine Take_A_Breather Good_Luck

    I've soloed many a defender, through many levels, including my empath. This is so not true in so many ways.

    Just pointing out you're comparing fully slotted Maneuvers to unslotted Fortitude.
  16. Not all missions can be dropped. Usually, it's timed and badge missions that can't be dropped, but there are others that they don't allow you to drop.

    What server are you on? I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to help you.

    You are incorrect. You do have +damage and other improvements even with normal enhancements. They are not the full enhancement, but they exist.
