    There is only ONE attribute that matters for the Rule of Five, and as has been stated above, that is the NAME of the bonus (large recharge bonus, or tiny recovery bonus, etc.).
  2. You mean, Global +Recharge. Since, as I said "Global" is not a stat. Recharge is, so it would seem obvious enough to mention it.

    Funny that you should whip around the word troll after your behaviour thus far in this thread...
    Pot? Meet Kettle.
  3. I would gladly offer to take the star as long as I was in the mood to lead a team. However, usually, when I play I already am the team leader...

    Why? Because I would hate to see a team I am on that is running smoothly scatter to the four corners of the Earth just because the current leader is heading out. I don't like seeing a team scatter out like that, and always try to make sure that when I lead a team, there is someone on it willing to take over... if not, I have been known to stick around a mission or more longer than intended just to see if maybe my next recruit would want to take the reigns.

    Honestly, leading a team isn't hard... especially a PUG, they pretty much lead themselves.
  4. Funny, there is no such stat as "Global." I wonder what a +Global does?

    No, but only becuase customers expect more than what is possible, and people who delegate but don't do the work often misunderstand the potential problems.

As such, this would cause me to fill in a name box that simply doesn't apply. Either that, or I'd end up becoming "Samuel Tow (Samuel Tow)" which... Isn't really to my taste.

    I admire the idea, though. It is creative and it tries to use an in-character concept to justify a game system. I'm just not sure I can deal with mandatory secret identities, is all.
    Make it an optional system then.

    It would be like giving everyone the chance to use a longer name. If you want to be Stratos (which I am sure is taken on most if not all servers), and you find it is taken, you ahve the option to be Doctor Stratos, etc (same as now) OR you can decide that Stratos is your hero name, and will use another name so that you can keep the main one. Thus, you would be Stratos (Mike Augustine).

    I think it is a fairly elegant system that is automatically backward compatible as well.

    Thank you!
    When asking for arts... it might be a good idea to provide a non-color-distorted screenshot. Just saying.

    That was her point entirely.
    She has done that on servers other than Virtue and had issues.

    Or, by chance, because they are too flippin' lazy to find the people that are on their server.

    Just sayin'.

    Does that by-chance, fix the issue of Hold animations being replaced by Stun animations? Specifically in the "arms in air, frozen" type of hold? Or is that completely unrelated?

    I was the one that gave you the information to do it... and the implication that I would help... if you PMed me (perhaps that was very unclear).

    It is kinda cute, isn't it?

    Although, I think this one is cuter. (Or this one.)

    That particular build was rolled back. The power will be unactivate-able until/when the power is included in the next build (or any future build, for that matter).
  16. I think the only fair price would be full price.

    If one were to have subscribed 6 months ago, and now only have 3 months worth of Vet Status, then I should think $45 dollars ought to cover the other 3 months to get the Vet reward. I could get behind that.

    Am I to assume that you were moved, versus you DECIDED to move? Otherwise, there is choice involved.

    Anyway yes there is a way but for only you can see that logo. It has to do with indirectly replacing one of the existing logos with yours.

    The methods for doing that are partially unknown to me. It would be similar to how the vidiotmap pack and power icon patch works.

    Sorry I can't be more helpful.
    To elaborate:

    Basically, you would have to know the exact name and location of one of the chest Icons in the PIGG files, and create a matching directory chain with a matching name in the City of Heroes game folder containing your image instead of the noraml one, the game would see that folder and image and use it in place of the one that it "should" be using.

    Any more information, and I would surely be in violation of some kinda rule.

  20. My favorite name of late? Ophidius Rex

    I have to agree that it is frustrating to not get the first name you think of... but it is fun try and come up with a new name, AND know that no one else has, or will have, that name.

    Christmas is in December... that is when its season should be starting. No other holiday gets to start a full month (or more) before it happens.



    Aside from that, carry on with your awesome suggestions!!

    As far as I can tell, people don't pay upwards of $45 a month solely for Vet Rewards, they pay to access and play this great game.

    Bottom line, they make more money. Now, if other Veterans feel cheated, that's a different matter altogether.

    Would you still object if it was $10 per reward month and, as per my original suggestion, only available up to your original registration date?
    Isn't that the point? If you had stayed subscribed.... you wouldn't be asking about this, and they would have gotten more money. Instead, you chose to unsubscribe, and now are asking for the same stuff that others got by paying a lot less money to Paragon Studios than those who stayed subscribed did...

    Agreed.

    Nor is it the "let's discount all the work other people do that I know next to nothing about, focus on one aspect of that work and then pretend that the players can even answer the 'question' I proposed" Thread.
  24. Though I too think Luminara's post was priceless...

    Would it be okay to have a pool of Vet rewards to pick from at each step? Say a Power Tier that includes all of the Vet Powers, a Costume Tier that includes all of the costume bits, etc.

    Then, whenever a costume or power is offered as a Vet Reward, one can CHOOSE which of the powers or costumes or whatever they want. That way, they would have the same number of rewards that they qualify for, and the same range of rewards (they wouldn't have all of the good Vet Rewards by 15 months...) but would still not have to wait as long if the only thing they really want is say, the Boxing Outfit.

Sure, I could go asking every player thats not looking for a team, but more than likely, guess what? They're not looking for a team. At prime time hours, I've seen as little as 4 people seeking in the whole 1-50 range. Sure, we got super sidekicking, but that doesn't mean a few level 4s and a level 47 team is really gonna function all that well. I've made a few characters on Virtue, and finding teams is easy. I don't have to sit around waiting for an invite while I relentlessly spam tells to people that don't have their flags up to see if they want to team like I do Infinity redside. On Virtue, I just do what I used to have to do on Infinity: Put my flag up, run a couple of solo missions and I usually have an invite by then.
    First, I too play on Infinity. Yes, the population is down on the server, and it doesn't end up as low (or high, depending on how you look at it) on the list anymore. However, I will point out that I have ALWAYS gone about my recruiting by doing exactly what you described as your issue with teaming. For me, that hasn't changed a bit. And you know what? I can still get a team of 8 rolling pretty quickly, and it usually functions rather well. But, I am also content with a team of 4, or even a duo if that's what I can find.

    Might I also point out that were I to summarize your paragraph above, I would say: "I'm too lazy to do things to find a team, and can't really be bothered to TALK to people about teaming, so I will go somewhere where the teams find me... it's WAAAY easier that way."

    We can argue all day about this, but (most of) you guys won't listen to any other opinion that differs from your own, and continue to call the rest of us liars, whiners, and morons. Anyways, I'm done, carry on with your flaming.
    Well, on this point, I think you are somewhat right. However, not for the reasons you think. I think that having hashed this issue out SOOO many times, the forum regulars have become exhausted talking about mergers. And in so doing all of their well-mannered, logical and realistic conversation on the matter has long been used up. Now, all that is left is "no", "/jranger" and some bile-y sarcasm. Is that a bit harsh on people who don't really know that they should have done a search? Yes, yes definitely. But, it isn't the forum community's job to make sure people do their research before posting, they can only respond to what they are given... and in this case, if the OP can't be bothered to not bludgeon a topic some more, why should the forumites be bothered not to bludgeon the OP?
