All of these were from the Summer Event Preview Live!!1 thread in General Discussions.

I won't even discuss Steam, so I'll address some other things here.

Two things jump out at me right off the bat.

Windows has problems with some functions when Free Space gets below 20%-25%. It's not looking at the amount of Free Space itself, just the percentage of the Free Space.

Several of the routines within windows seem to be using the same coding they used back in the days when a 20 Mb Hard Drive was considered big.

The second thing is all of the entries showing with Unknown in the CoH Helper report. That doesn't let us see what the game settings are. If you can get the Settings button to work on the launch screen go in and turn Ambient Occlusion completely off.

Did you right-click CoH Helper and select Run as Administrator? If not, please run it again doing it that way. If you did run it that way there is something keeping CoH Helper from reading the registry and that could be causing some of the problems.

A HiJackThis report would be very helpful to see what else might be running on your computer that could be interfering.

In the original design of the game origins determined how many powers you could have. The plan was to have a more free-form power selection.

The design and plans had to be changed because they found that people were either making tank-mages or were severely gimping their characters.

When they made those changes they implemented the AT system instead with specific primary power sets and secondary power sets to choose from and then pool powers that any AT could choose from.

Origins were kept in the game but had little affect other than your starting contacts in the game, the titles you could choose at level 15 or 25 and what DO and SO enhancements you could slot.

Later they added an origin-based temporary power that you would lose once you reached Level 10. This was later changed to be a power that you kept at all levels.

They made some additional changes to the game later that had a minor emphasis on origins (which Origins got a better boost from the vet powers like Nemesis Staff or Blackwand), the text in the Origins of Power arc and what you take from Trapdoor in Ramiel's arc.

I saw the recording was up and watched a bit of it just a few hours after the live feed ended.

I used it as reference for some posts I made that night.

Not all Primary sets get Aim. Not all Secondary sets get Build Up.

Some combinations such as AR/Dev and DP/Dev get neither.

So what you are trying to say is that previously you could get into Perez Park to run missions at any level.

You could into Brickstown to run missions at any level.

You could get into Faultline to run missions at any level.

You could get into Dark Astoria to run missions at any level.

You could get into Crey's Folly to run missions at any level.

You could get into Eden to run missions at any level.

You could get into Cimerora to run missions at any level.

You could get into the old Rikti Crash Site to run missions at any level.

You could get into the Rikti War Zone to run missions at any level.

You could get into the Shadow Shard to run missions at any level.

You could get into The Hive at any level.

Not to mention all of the Task Forces and Trials that had a minimum level, as Ironblade pointed out.

If you believe any of that you are only deluding yourself.

They can join SG's with only 1 Reward Token now, but the Registrar still won't talk to them.

Checking the SG Registrar doesn't work for non-VIP accounts.

He won't talk to you.

That's part of why I posted the question here to help out.

And you aren't using it as your forum avatar?

Shame on you.

Gee, he stayed later to answer questions than he was scheduled to.

A joking interaction among a few regulars was seen as he got ready to log off.

He made a quick one word post before making his That's All, Folks post.

Had he answered your question, or any other question for that matter, it likely would have needed to have been a longer post and taken more of his time.

Time that he didn't have to spend answering our questions in the first place.

Time that he didn't have to stay longer than scheduled in order to answer more questions.

Yeah, he was totally out of line there.

I'll quote something I said recently about the why and Zwiffendaggerinmyback's response to it.

What?

You mean when people have a problem with Mids they should post it on the Titan Networks forums in the Mids section?

Who'd of thunk it.

Had it been phrased as a neutral comment (especially with the thrown in) I'd likely not have responded at all.

And it's rather obvious you aren't on MY ignore list, so no, you aren't on EVERYONE'S ignore list.

Right.

Because so far he's answered EVERYONE'S question except yours.




















Oh wait, no he hasn't.

Both games in one purchase, yes. IF they bought the GvE edition.

If they bought just City of Heroes or just City of Villains they only got the game they bought. Both standalone versions of the game were still available for purchase and only got you access to that game.

Additionally, for anyone that had only City of Heroes or only City of Villains the games were merged in July 2008.

The Kismet Unique may be named Accuracy, but it provides 6% ToHit for all attacks.

They weren't trying to add the extra enhancement slots to sell them.

They were trying to add them as part of the normal leveling up process for all players.

Will it go 'round in circles.

My initial comment was that 4 SO's would get it to 22.06%.

Ollin responded with the comment about the IO's.

I responded that not everyone has access to IO's.

You posted the information that 4 SO's would do it.

The circle never ends.

You didn't have to own City of Heroes to play City of Villains. It was an expanshalone. You could play just City of Heroes if that was all you bought. You could play just City of Villains if that was all you bought. If you owned both and had them both on the same account you could play both. After NCSoft bought out Cryptic's portion of the game, they combined them into one game so that owning either game gave you both games.

There were no other addons that worked like that. There were some booster packs that were released for purchase but there was no content in them, just costumes, auras, emotes and at times a power.

When Going Rogue was released it was a full expansion, meaning you had to own the (by then combined) City of Heroes/City of Villains game and have an active subscription. With the change to the City of Heroes: Freedom model, they combined Going Rogue with the City of Heroes/City of Villains game for subscribers. Free/Premium players can purchase Going Rogue if they can find a copy or if they already had it on their account before Freedom it would still be available to them. Otherwise, you can only purchase a la carte items like the Alignment System or the ability to create a Praetorian.

All other issues were Free until Going Rogue came out. All issues since Going Rogue have been Free.

EDIT: According to the NCSoft Press Release from November 1, 2005 the price for City of Villains was $49.99 for the standard edition and $69.99 for the Collector's Edition.

EDIT 2: The Going Rogue Complete Collection was priced at $39.99 at release. The purchase from the NCSoft store of just the Going Rogue expansion was $29.99 and they also had the Going Rogue Item Pack avaialble for $10 dollars.

Not all players have access to IO's either.
