All the slots in there are pre level 6. I was not aware you could still repsec those slots into the nova form powers slot pre level 6 still.

As the Anniversary title stated, 6 years and going strong.

Also, if I might make a suggestion.

When you are sending items you really care about, send them directly to your own global instead of sending them to a character name.

This way you can actually confirm the item has been received instantly, on the character you just sent it from.

Seriously, it's so easy that I stopped trying to twink out new characters a long time ago.

(at least as far as early career twinking goes...I'll still have my high-level toons help out on full IO sets)

Still, being able to mail stuff around IS a nice change. Makes transferring stuff a lot simpler for the few times it's really helpful.

I just thought I'd ask if CoH had maybe mentioned that players who use minimum graphics may be adversely affected by i17, or something like that. I didn't find anything in the News/Announcements forum.

They probably have been ever since the original launch of CoH six years ago. Someone probably has a file somewhere of features and changes they'd like to make in a possible sequel. Some of them may have even played around with game engines or started prototyping a new engine, preparing for when the project gets legs.

As for registration of the name and such, it's really silly to leap from "they filled out paperwork" to "they're working on the game." Just about any IP guru will tell you that you don't wait until you're ready to release something to do all the paperwork. You do it years before, so that when you are ready to go forward with announcements, your a** is covered.

Does anyone here remember that Cisco actually had trademarked the name iPhone and that Apple had to pay a not insignificant amount to use the name? Or that as if that weren't bad enough, they did the exact same thing with the iPad (I'm sure Fujitsu is grateful for the unexpected windfall)? Thinking back even further, who here remembers when Microsoft announced the Xbox, they had not bothered to register xbox.com as their domain name? As I recall, they had to pay a pretty penny to buy it off the lucky schmuck who owned it.

Imagine if I had gone out there and registered or otherwise acquired the rights to the "coh2" name. Before you think, "But Tony, City of Heroes is their IP, they could have made you turn it over," consider that the three letters Cee-Oh-Aitch aren't "owned" by NCsoft. Among other things, it is the NYSE stock symbol for a company named Coach, Inc.. I also see it frequently used as the abbreviation for the popular RTS Company of Heroes. What's to stop Relic from registering CoH2 to represent their game? Well, now, the fact that NCsoft has beaten them to the punch will stop them.

So please, put away the conspiracy theories. Put away the wild speculation. Will there be a CoH2? As long as CoH doesn't tank, yeah, I'm almost certain there will be. That's not news. Is it just around the corner? Hell no. Keep in mind that it was over four years between the launch of City of Villains and Going Rogue. And as you can imagine, the massive brunt of their development effort has been going towards Going Rogue.

So even if (and that's a big if) they're toying around with CoH2 now, and even if (and that's an even bigger if) they made it into a full-scale project after Going Rogue launches, I imagine that it would be at least three to four years out. We may--and I'm being optimistic here--have it by the tenth anniversary.

Yes, it's getting old, but as long as the joke keeps coming up, I'll keep posting it

I sent in a notice to the powers that be, but thought I'd get the caution out there

I have two accounts. One one, I have level 50s on both red and blue sides. The other account only has heroes at level 50. I went on this account to checki it out, but the VEATS are locked. I am not sure why. I have 2 villains over level 20 on that account, but the VEATS just didn't unlock for some reason.

I mean, I get what the OP is saying, and if it's something like "My little brother saw my account still logged on when I had to use the bathroom," sure, it'd stop them (assuming you didn't give them the password.) But if your account has been compromised - hacked, RMTers, etc. - I'd think they'd already HAVE your password, so asking for it once more to disable the feature wouldn't be much of a deterrent.
