Well it still beats the clbuttic censorship systems that bought us such gems as world-class athlete Tyson Homosexual and the ever popular game Buttbuttin's Creed: Brotherhood.

To be fair the old Updater still has the "Upgrade to the Launcher" page, though it doesn't have a "This won't work any more" message and that would probably be handy.

Installing the Launcher shouldn't impact Steam (At least it hasn't on my PC) but it does mean that you'll have to add it as a non-Steam game if you want the Steam overlay, etc. to keep working.

I don't believe so, they could well be asexual, hermaphroditic or have some other gender dynamic that doesn't fit into "male" and "female". On top of that, the Dwarf & Nova forms are based on two *additional* species who will have their own genders and even then we'd have to presuppose that the different genders were physically distinct.

It should detect your existing install automatically, but otherwise try starting it with the /LaunchGame=Cityofheroes switch and when it asks where to install point it at your current install directory. It's how I did my Test server install.

I did it once and never again; you forget just how bad the later films were.

I don't *have* to, but I want to continue to. It shouldn't really surprise me, but it would have been nice if they had bothered to either update the Steam client to use the launcher without having to screw around with it or, at the very least, provide clear instructions on how to modify the config of your existing Steam install to have it start using the Launcher.

Now I can probably work that out by myself given sufficient time and will, but I really shouldn't have to.

Right now there are going to be a lot of people who bought the game on Steam, don't read the boards and who won't have a clue why their game suddenly stopped working today.

Yes, there's nothing more I enjoy than downloading circa 4Gb, followed by all the patches that have been released in the last month or so, in the hope that it may or may not fix something that I shouldn't have to fix in the first place.

It was bad enough that the update to the Steam version of CoX when they were doing the sale last month forced me to re-download the whole client and repatch for precisely zero benefit, so I'll be damned if I'm doing it again.

Except it doesn't. At least mine doesn't and never has; though weirdly it does on my laptop for no apparent reason.

As usual it's totally ambiguous and I haven't been able to get any clarification about it; quoth the article (emphasis mine):

Primarily because the latter predates the former by a fair number of issues and I doubt it would be simple to alter the game so that character names are only unique to a given global rather than unique to a given server, even if the devs wanted to, which I would imagine they don't given the issues it would inevitably lead to.

Cake?

Given that Apple's intention seems to be to turn all OSX installs into iOS with bigger icons, the two may become one and the same sooner than you think.

This I like

Well nuts to that then, I still refuse to use the Launcher for the Live game until they fix the Steam version to work with it cleanly. Guess I'm stuck with 0.9.3 for now.

Isn't Manti a blaster?

Basically, you can pick rewards within a tier in any order you like, but you have to complete a tier in order to be able to pick a reward from the next one up.

Shadow Cyst Crystals (Proper ones, not the gimped things you find on the ITF), however, can still be excellent fun on a big team if someone isn't paying attention and aggros one by mistake before the rest of the team has noticed.
