As a workaround, you can use the "Complete Mission" option for the Tailor mission. I always do this, because when I go to get the new costume slot, I want in NAO!

I dunno... maybe States and Cole ARE the same guy! (edit: from the last mish of Maria Jenkin's arc)

Check out any of the offerings that derive from Clevo - Clevo does not sell direct to end users, so you have to get their stuff from a reseller. I have one from Malibal that is very nice. Another vendor is named Sager, and I think are are a few others as well.

1. Techbot Alpha
2. Henri
3. CR

I thought I was pretty much alone in having a Grav/Emp controller! I've never seen one in-game besides me. Here's the build I am driving towards. I tried Wormhole, and decided it didn't fit my playstyle, so I respec'd out of it at i19. The big advantage to this build is it is soft-capped for Ranged defense. Note: this is a respec build, so the power and slot order may not be totally optimal for use from the start.

Edit: My use of the leadership pool was driven by the fact that, when soloing, I found I had to rely a lot on the Veteran attacks (Blackward, Nemesis Staff) to get a decent attack chain, and I used Tactics and the Karma in Manuevers to get enough accuracy to make them useful at higher levels. Maneuvers also contributed to the defense soft-cap, so it was good for that as well.

I just went back into the mission, and now I notice that Vanessa is marked with a blue untargetable reticle, not a red targetable one. In this case, talk is just talk!

very cool! looking forward to more...

OK, thanks. I saw that the text said to "talk" to the person in charge, but as I recall, in other missions that said something similar, the "talk" ended up being done with fireballs, lightning bolts, etc.

No kidding?! So, I just have to beat down all the Carnies around her and then click on her?

I was running Tina MacIntyre's arc yesterday solo on my 44 blaster, using the base (+0 / 1 hero, no AV) setting, when to my surprise, I ran into Vanessa DeVore as a lvl 48 EB! Anyone else run into this sort of situation? Is this WAI, or a bug? (I bugged it in game.)

Nice! I assume that "Shockii" is actually my toon, Sparkii? Thanks for the drawing!

Since you asked for more candidates in your "output" thread, here is my Elec/Elec tank, Sparkii. Maybe something using her elec powers to light the tree?

Wow... thanks for doing the picture of Icii - my first art! Love the nervous snowman!

I just attempted my first STF this last weekend, and my experience trying to tank Lord Recluse was not pleasant. Basically, he kicked my a$$. All I can think of doing differently is loading up on tier 3 purples to floor his To-Hit while the rest of the team takes down the buff towers, especially the red one.

Beyond that, I am wondering if my build is somehow gimped for LR. Any suggestions on tactics or build changes would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for all of the work you and the team put into this! It is hard to imagine COH without this very valuable tool.

Like many others above, I was unsuccessful in getting the in-program update to correctly function. (Win XP SP3, program not in default location) I downloaded the installer from your link, and it worked perfectly.

My fire/ice blaster, Icii Hot has a wintry theme to her, and could use a Christmas look...

Those guys in Independence Port sure know how to build amazing seacraft!

Shia... I enjoyed both works, but think Shia had the edge.

The strappy heels have the right and left feet swapped!

I have found Air Sup to be very useful on my Elec tank - it seems to me to have a higher likelihood of knockdown than Thunderstrike, and it activates much more quickly. Some bosses can be kept in pretty much perma-knockdown using both AS and TS, which is great mitigation!

I took Jacob's Ladder over Havoc Punch. It combines well with Sands of Mu in the early game, if you take the trouble to line up the cone. Also, I think it is one of the cooler-looking attacks for the Elec set!

Update... after many days of not being able to make an add-on pack purchase with the card that I have been paying my subscription with for many years, I decided to try a card from a different bank, and it worked! The problem still may be on NCSoft's side, but at least this was a workaround for me.

I am trying to buy the Wedding pack, and get the following:

"We're sorry, but we are unable to accept your order at this time. Please try again later or tomorrow. If you continue to have problems, you may wish to visit one of our retail partners. "

I have been trying for several days.

Anyone else having trouble getting the Ncsoft store to accept payments? I've been trying to buy the Wedding Pack for a few days, and have had no luck.

Thx
