    Oh I team whenever the hell I want. The problem is that I have no particular desire to team with you. or even team with most people most of the time. Occasionally? Sure, Most of the time? No.

    I'm playing to relax and have fun and I don't generally have that when I'm on a team. Sometimes yes but usually I'm playing and watching TV, etc. So wanting to be able to stop and do other things from time to time.
  2. It was a fun Doctor Who episode. Not a great one but a fun one. I liked the line. "We are in a forest, in a box, in the sitting room."
  3. Sounds like you need to contact customer support. Something must be glitched on your account then. But this is purely something that customer support can help you with not your fellow players.
  4. Eh looks fun. The first movie was a kick back with a drink and put your feet up and have fun type of film and this one looks to be much the same. Great film? No. Fun film? yes.

    Thats because no one was bothering to save episodes or anything back then. It is mainly a matter of luck to find a complete episode. ::Sigh:: a shame to because from the episodes of his I've seen they where good.

    Oh Netflix has a bunch of old troughton episodes you can stream.

    Exactly, as a test I downloaded a new full install of COX at work in just under 15 minutes using the new launcher. It actually took longer for the files to install after the download than for the download itself.

    So the claim that the new launcher is slower doesn't actually stand up to real world testing. Now your internet connection could be slow and/or your computer could be but the launcher.... No.

    And I'm still not seeing a problem here. You keep assuming that others are going to have a problem paying for things like weapons skins. Not true, I've always been happy to. If I don't want it I don't buy it.

    And please remember there is a difference between making money and money grabbing. E.g. Paragon Studios starts being greedy, so Xanatos cancels his subscription. They haven't made any money, but they have tried to "money grab".
    And I fail to see any money grabbing here.

    Paragon making money seems like a very good thing to me.
  10. Basically you'll have to talk with support on the phone probably for a long time. Essentially you need to be able to establish that A you had an account and B provide them enough information to locate the account and the match it to you. I'm guessing you'll at least have to hope that the account was registered under your name and you still have access to the billing information that it was billed under.

    Attuned is a brand new feature with I21 currently only seen in Store Bought Enhancements.

    As noted the SBE autolevels with you within its range. They are also bound to your account so you can trade them between characters on your account but not to other players.
  13. Take the LOTG set it is level range 25 - 50. Which in practical terms means it operates levels 22 - 50. Remember you can always slot an IO 3 levels above your current level. All sets have a level range the key for evaluating them is the range they cover.

    So what does this mean in the above case if you exempler down to level 22 your SBE LOTG's will still work at level 25. If you exempler down further they will stop working.

    City of Heroes is a game about imagination and creativity. So long as you don't contradict established canon (any more than it contradicts itself...) the sky's the limit on what you can write.

    Go wild with it

    *edit*
    Unintentional choice of words...
    Well there is the Blood of the Black Stream that was implied to be associated with shapeshifting in some way. Unfortunately we are unlikely to ever learn more about them. The person who was working on them and their lore apparently left long ago and didn't leave good notes about their plans and written up lore so the devs don't really have much more than we have to go on with them. Which means they have been shelved probably forever.

    And we really don't know what kind of shifters they might have been anyway. Ah well that leaves as noted Kheldians, war wolves, Protean, and Moment as the only official shapeshifters since we never actually see any of the Blood of the Black Stream just have some hints posted long ago and a handful of in game references to them.

    That said there is no reason not to have shapeshifters. There is a strong background of magic in the COH universe, science is legendary in stories for creating shifters, we have psi and there is no reason that psionic shifters can't be around either. So basically use the background you like best and just go for it.

    Hmm, oh and there is a link between the Kheldians and war wolves since the war wolves are made through failed merging with a nictus.

    I have a couple of shifters who use the magic background and one the science background. Mechanically it is simply different costume slots and binds with costume change emotes to switch between them.

    yes, I did that this afternoon and it worked perfectly. I only had 5 slots on elude so I dropped the left over LOTG into a different power that had 2 of the regular LOTG IO's in it and it now shows having 3 LOTG's in that power.

    What a lovely and delightful thought. But no unfortunately you can't. Unless your charging real money for it. Then I suppose you can probably get banned for that.

    oh waaaah... just because it cuts down on your xp/minute ratio. If you don't want to play in a world of varying areas and details then stay in the AE building. Without the fog and the ghosts DA won't be much different than any other zone.
    No because I bump into buildings when I super jump around the zone. Nice idea but HATE HATE HATE the implementation of it.

    This!!!!!!

    The fog is a great idea that is just stupid when you have to deal with it while playing. The faster it can go away the happier I'll be.

    No you don't. When it went live I had 4 tokens for tier 9 and took the signature power and the 3 costume items. And yes they are just cool. And I would have gone for the costumes first if I hadn't had 4 tokens.

    That is all.
    Shhhhh! Don't bring logic and sanity to panic.
  21. If someone wants to buy it I'm not seeing the problem.

    Except that what would happen is that they would have to put the small team incarnate content on hold do to some massive bug they couldn't fix in time for the launch of issue 22 and it would be pushed back to a later issue and then the base update couldn't be gotten to and pushed back to oh issue 26 and then ....

    Anyway the player base would be howling for blood even before Issue 22 was out of beta because it didn't match what was in the projected release plan.

    never work.
  23. The sun being down is really really helpful for anyone mask hunting in Talos.
  24. So wait let me get this right. Since every MMOG out releases regular gimmicks [features, powers, classes, races, etc.] every few months it is bad for COH to do the same thing?
  25. I wouldn't want to drop to premium because most of my characters would get locked out.
