  1. One thing you may want to check in Windows is to see if you have enabled Large Fonts or set "Make text and other items larger or smaller" to either Medium or Larger.

    If you have, set it to Normal Fonts or Smaller (100%).

    EDIT: Another thought just occurred to me, but I'm unable to test it for several hours so have no idea if it might be the problem.
    IIRC, the Paragon Market interface is using a browser interface for the display. It's likely using the browser settings of whatever is set as the default browser on the computer. One of the things many browsers do is to allow you to resize text or even have a zoom setting. The Paragon Market window "could" be picking up these settings and causing the problems you describe. You may want to open your browser (whatever is set as the default browser) and make sure that it is set to view text at the normal level and not a larger sized font or isn't set to be zoomed either for the entire page or just for text. If I were at home I could easily test it, but alas, I won't be home for several hours yet. If I don't see that you've found a solution by the time I get home I'll test this possibility to see if enlarging the text or zooming the browser causes this and report back what I find.
  2. One of my favorite phrases to use:

    Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

    Much like Aggelakis, I don't put my powers in the trays that way. I don't even put them in the trays in the order I take them.

    I can't support your suggestion that they should code it this way. It would be as much work for me as the current system is.

    We have a statue for Hero 1?

    Where?

  6. For those unable to find it, when you Edit Tab look in the list on the right.

    Cutscene Captions is between Broadcast and Combat Warnings, as shown in the picture below.

    No, you don't need to spend points to unlock them. You do have to manually unlock each one though.

    When you go VIP you will have enough unlocks available to unlock your characters.
  8. If it won't let you uncheck the .Net Framework 3.5 entry in "Turn Windows Features on or off" it would seem to indicate that your .Net Framework is corrupted somehow.

    If you are having problems with other games due to .Net Framework errors, it would tend to support that theory.

    Until you get the .Net Framework problems resolved you won't be able to use the launcher.
  9. Yes. It appears to be either a .Net error or an MSXML Library error.

    Follow the instructions on this page for information on correcting problems with the .Net Framework and MSXML Libraries.
  10. Creating arcs in AE is a Reward unlocked by filling Tier 6 or being VIP.

    Freebie Friday is a new test program in the Paragon Market where all players, Free, Premium and VIP, can claim (only once per offer) a random free item! The item could be almost anything currently available in the Paragon Market and will change every week! Currently, we plan for each promotional item to be available for 24 hours. For the trial run, we'll be putting the item up at 4:00 PM PDT/7:00 PM EDT/12:00 AM BST this Thursday, May 17th, 2012. The item will be available until the same time (4:00 PM PDT) on Friday, May 18th, 2012. You can find the Freebie Friday item under the "Featured Items" section of the Paragon Market.

    So log into City of Heroes and claim your item!

    Wasn't a problem discovered when they last used Positron for the WST?

    Similarly, wasn't there a problem discovered the last time the ITF was the WST? That may or may not have been when Romulus was spawning regularly in the map with other mobs. It could have been a different problem. I don't remember exactly what the problem was but I do remember hearing about a problem of some type.

    No. Freedom launched before that.

    VIP Headstart was Sept. 13.

    Full launch for the public (including free players) was Sept. 27.

    Instead, I'll quote the OP so you get the gist of things.

    As my note dictates, this was your post for the terms of how the bet would be decided:

    Quote:

    By I23 would be more fair. I21 is toast. I22 is iffy, but the interstitial time between I21 and I22, or more likely between I22 and I23, would be reasonable. If they are going to do it at all, I22 maybe, I23 definitely. Past that point, and I would have to concede they are not interested.

    I don't really need anything in-game. So we'll make the bet something more intangible. Whoever loses must post a picture of themselves bowing before Null the Gull while extolling the foresight of the other.

    Which actually levels the playing field tremendously, because there are devs that would deliberately delay the change to I23.5 just to see me have to do that.
    So then...I believe you have a picture to post.

    Cool.
  17. I'm having no problems in Safari on my 3rd Generation iPad using iOS 5.1.1

    What version of iOS are you using?

    What browser? (I haven't checked to see if any other browsers are available so I'll ask anyway).

    I know that they have control of adding items to the market and removing items from the market but it doesn't necessarily follow that they have control of removing items in a specific category, such as New.
  19. Not in this case Forbin.

    When the set was defined at the Pummit, it was defined as using imagery from the Sci-Fi of the 50's and 60's and the name was then set as Retro Sci-Fi. There may have been a few elements of some pulp sci-fi from the 40's incorporated but it was things that were also used in 50's stuff.

    It was never stated or implied that it meant a vintage of 15 to 20 years ago.

    In anycase the event has moved from the 1st Monday to the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Feel free to attend.
    That can't be right.

    Can it?
  21. I thought I had seen something recently saying that you could bypass using PMB by opting out or something.

    I'll have to search for it.

    EDIT: Found it.

Players can now install and update the game directly through the NC Launcher. If you haven't tried Aion: Ascension, now's the perfect time to play--Truly Free™!

    Rather than just tell you to read the thread, I'll point to a few specific posts.

    It seems much more helpful that way.

    There were a few posts by Z before this, but these quotes seemed most relevant to answering your question.

    Definitely something you guys should think about down the road (ie a hero skin, a villain skin and then a "Current Issue" skin that you can rotate out).
    I understand, and appreciate what you're saying here.

    I'll look into offering a generic skin for the forums, but to set expectations, this isn't something that would happen until Issue 24 at the earliest.

    What happened?
    There were some very good points brought up by those posting in this thread, and in sending me PM's, regarding the margin sizes shrinking. As such, I made a decision to change direction to something that wouldn't impact your reading pane size.

    Thanks!

    I made this decision, so if you must assign blame, assign it to me. As the lead for the Community team, I often times have to make decisions that are controversial or counter to popular or vocally expressed opinion. In this case, I looked at the options we had available, in the time we had available, and made a decision.

    Our original intention *was* to give the Community an option in this matter. Unfortunately, circumstances didn't work out. Production schedules being what they are, we did not have the option to resubmit this skin for Community consensus. In the end, it was far more important to me to not alter the size of the reading pane and thus change the structure of what you're actually looking at 99% of the time on these forums; The posts and the words contained therein.

    I'd like to be clear on one thing: There is never any guarantee that something submitted by popular consensus will be the final version. Whenever possible, we will absolutely give you the option, as has been evidenced by content such as the upcoming Retro Sci-Fi costume set, but there is never an implicit guarantee.

    Thanks

    It's not to say it's a dead issue, it simply sits further down on the priority chain than other requests I have in, such as upgrading to the most recent version of Vbulletin and offering a mobile friendly skin for the forums.
    And that pretty much catches you up to date.








    Just remember, things are not always what they seem.
  23. Thanks for addressing it at least so we have an official response.
