Quote:You might PM a Dev and see if Kinetic Combat's bonus is WAI, or if it should be like Performance Shifter...or if Performance Shifter should be like Kinetic Combat.I just checked in game. Five pieces of Kinetic Combat gives three set bonuses, named "Large Improved Run Speed Bonus", "Large Improved Flight Speed Bonus, and "Large Improved Jumping Bonus". This overlaps with Aegis, which gives a "Large Improved Runspeed Bonus" for two pieces, but not with Performance Shifter, which gives a "Large Improved Movement Bonus".

Quote:If I'm not mistaken, some brilliant programmer at Paragon Studios (not sure if that programmer is still there) wrote a script that was a workaround for stripping the animations down to grey-scale, or something like that. So, there was a workaround for Power Customization. They still did a lot of work with alternate animations for some powers, which came after power color customization for some of those affected sets.Actually BaB, who would have known, said that it would take either a really huge effort or for someone to find some clever workaround like they did for custom weapons. No one ever found that clever workaround, so BaB and his people put in the required huge effort and here we are with mostly customizable powers.

IT departments at all sorts of businesses have regular work hours. They just happen to be on-call in case of emergencies. Very few businesses will have IT people there 24/7.

Quote:I think one of the rules of his tournament is to delete and remake all of his characters ever time a new issue comes out. I could be wrong though.While I don't fully understand how your tournaments work, I see the problems these changes will cause.
Now I'm not sure if this is even possible but couldn't your current tournament be closed to new entrants until it finishes, then you could start up a new one having actually completed a tournament for a change.
Again not sure if closing to new entrants is even possible, but traditional tournaments have a close off point so a similar thing could be done for you no?
Come on Steelclaw, you have 2 weeks at a minimum to get those guys to level 50. Maybe even a month and a half.* Play like the wind!
*assuming that what is in open beta will go live 3 to 4 weeks after open beta starts. -
Quote:The same way villains break into the Midnighters club to steal artifacts. He used magic. Then hitched a ride with the Midnighters crystal. And before you go all cause and effect on me...Because he's dying from time cancer. In my older characters' personal storylines, he's dead by now. I'd totally buy Requiem though. How did Requiem get to Cimerora anyway?
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big bowl of wibbly wobbly timey wimey... stuff.
I would like to believe that one of the 11 modes of time travel is a blue police box. -

Quote:Or, Mender Lazarus could have been misinformed about the tether. I wouldn't put it past Silos to lie about something like that. Considering that "bad stuff" is supposed to happen if one proceeds to travel beyond their "tether", but Silos somehow seemed to avoid that "bad stuff". Could it be that there is no actual temporal tether and Silos made that up to help conceal what he's really doing? A Nemesis plotter by any other name still plots Nemesis-ly.There's a reason for it - Lazarus says that he is from the 76th century, "roughly 5600 years in your future" and is already at the end of his tether.
...
In fact, all of the Menders are from the far future. That's why they recruit you - because "of all the Menders, you have the greatest access, because you're a native of THIS time."
...
Now, granted, all of this comes from Lazarus and we can claim he's just lying through his teeth, but again - that sort of storytelling is just bad.
I'm fairly sure that Mender Ramiel came back from further than 5600 years as well. -
I only have a few points to make here.
There is a difference between hiding who you are, and not advertising who you are.
Quote:How come it's always left on the shoulders of the victims to fight the endless tides alone?
Quote:Not a single person here(That I saw) offered to help the OP, she was just told that her ideas were stupid and she should deal with her problems on her own. There was no sympathy, no empathy. Just, "No you're dumb. Get over it."
Quote:It's already against the rules to harass people.
Report the offender and be done with it.Quote:Don't give out personal info.
Toss creeps on the ignore list and avoid them.
Just treat them like you would any other troll, because trolls will go anywhere, including a female-only server.Quote:- Ignore him. There's an ignore list that will help you in that respect.
- Petition him. GMs will look into the matter and take action.
- Find a good gender-mixed supergroup. In a close circle of friends, people rarely overstep like this, because there is a self-policing habit in a group.
- Educate people. It won't help you now, of course, but the next generation may be more aware of gender issues.
Quote:We're creating yet another micro-culture where women who speak out against being treated like garbage get yelled at for speaking out. Not everyone here was doing it overtly, but the majority was at least letting it slide. And letting it slide is even worse in my eye. It means there's no hope.
Quote:If you yourself are harassed? I see two major options. If it is by a random stranger entirely through /tells or some other untraceable random harassment. Tell them that what they are saying is not welcome, do not send further tells. Then /ignore + /petition. If you are instead harassed by /tells inside a team or an SG or a Vent server. Do not let it slide. Make sure that the group knows what this person is doing. And also send in petitions and /ignore as needed. Silence is death. Silence is approval of what is, has, and will be done. That is how it has always been and how it will always be. The silence cannot continue. This applies mostly
Quote:Do you know how enraged I am at this thread?! DO YOU?! IT MADE ME AGREE WITH GOLDEN GIRL! ARGH!
Have you ever stopped to think why bullies (or people that harass others) do what they do? Nine times out of ten, it is because they are looking for a reaction. If you refuse to give them that reaction, then they lose. The first time they do something that you find disagreeable, inform them, politely, that you find it disagreeable. After that, just ignore them. Blowing up at them will just be giving them what they want, and they will harass you even more. You might think about that the next time you are offended.
Also, my dad used to tell me that you can only be offended, if you accept the offense.

Quote:It is nice to see someone not take the Devs for granted. If even for a little bit.So I decided to take my own advice, come to the forums, and step back to appreciate all the rednames for what they have created. And by extension thanks to all, rednames and players alike, who seek to uplift and build this great community. Being a part of City of Heroes has been one of the best experiences of my life. I commit to being more appreciative of the work and love that is done in its creation.
I will admit, that I don't thank them as often as I should, but I do appreciate the hard work they put into this game. Even if I don't care for the part of the game that the hard went into.
I also realize that they don't have the same likes and dislikes that I have. -
Quote:I'm looking at somewhere over 150 characters myself.I have around 300 characters currently.
Yeah. Not listing it.
That and the numbers aren't always right. Not sure why they get screwed up, but I had a character that was part of a foursome (two level pacted pairs.) Hours? 75, 74, 77, 380.
I agree with Bill. Not listing it. -
Quote:how is it that you know all about Nox's experiences with solutions to the MM bug? he did make one very important caveat to his statement that you quoted. I'll even high light it for you.Wrong! It does not work. Its a bug not stupidity on the MM part. The pets wont release. You cant do anything with them. They just stand wherever they are and look dumb. Even login off and back wont help because the state of your toon is saved, you need to either die or close the client, period. Once per blue moon they will re attached themselves to you by changing zones/instances but doesn't happen often.
Quote:/Releasepets always works like a charm for me when that happens. After the slash command you should be able to just resummon them normally.
I apologize if I stepped in and intruded there, Noxilicious. -
Quote:Interesting. I have only run into this problem once. The pets were still in connected to me, I just couldn't get them to move away from the ferry in Cap. I was able to dismiss them all and resummon them.Please fix these already!
It has been almost a year. Sometimes I cannot drop my pets and they do not follow commands at all they just stand there when i zone into something.
It is making this character so usless. I just logged out for 15 mins to cook, eat lunch and they are stil there doing nothing.
Zoning doesnt help, the base doesnt help nothing wil reset them not even going into a misson
However, I have made it a point to dismiss my pets before I leave a mission, because I hate dragging half a zone of NPCs along with me when I go to the next mission. -
Quote:Except, they don't actually set time aside to celebrate the accomplishments of white males. It's all covered in History class, unless they've changed it since I graduated. But then, so is Black History, Women's History, Asian American History, American Indian History, American Filipino History, etc, etc, etc.From my perspective, the other 11 months of the year....and Im a white male. I dont mind the various history months. Lets take the time to celebrate and highlight other cultures, it doesnt cost me anything to do so.
--Frog
If you're going to be fair, which I like to be, there should be a White Male History Month to go along with all the other <special> History months out there. -
Quote:The only times I've had the everything marked as read was when I got logged out. Which is really frustrating when I've been logged in and already read 7 threads, and posted in 3 of them. the 8th thread comes up logged out, then everythign is marked as read when I log back in 3 seconds later. I wasn't aware I could read that fast. It could probably be why I didn't recall anything I had read.I thought that was what happened every time you get logged out?
At least that seems to be the behaviour I am seeing -
You mean, they set aside a place and time to talk about the beneficial accomplishment of white males only? In what universe?

I look forward to your next 571 lists with the "bus stops with no busses" joke.

Quote:The only server I don't play on is Freedom. Not sure if that would define my sanity or not though.Philly Girl and I play on Justice. That should answer the insanity question.
Quote:et's tip this on it's head right quick. Let's have a server that only WHITE people can play on. Yeah, let's see how quick THAT hits discrimination lawsuit critical mass.
Regarding me and prejudice, I probably have some, most people do. However, I can say that I am not influenced by race or gender when it comes to reasons for me liking or not liking someone. I have many friends that are not of the same coloring as myself. Same goes for friends of different genders. Some of the people that I dislike the most are my own gender and coloring.
TL;DR - I'm not prejudiced, I hate everyone. -

Quote:When I go out in the summer, I wear a T-shirt, and an unbuttoned white over-shirt. That will actually keep me cooler than going out in one of my typical black t-shirts. In the winter, I'll wear a T-shirt, a flannel shirt, and a denim jacket. The only time I'll wear anything shorter than blue (or black) jeans is when I go swimming. No matter what I wear (other than dress clothes) I'm comfortable. I'm also not really sending an obvious open invitation to be ogled by every woman on the planet either.Because it's more comfortable in hot weather than something with a high neck?
The clothes I wear to draw attention to myself are my pirate or Renaissance costumes. Those actually cover more of me than my normal clothes. And wearing a Steampunk leather jacket in the summer isn't as hot as you'd think, if it's fitted correctly. -
You honestly don't think that any woman that will willingly wear a blue sequined mini-skirt is asking to be looked at? You and GG seem to be living in the same reality.

Quote:Funny, my mom and dad occasionally told me what to wear. Usually it was to tell me to wear a suit or dress clothes when going to church. They seemed to think that wearing jeans to church was taboo for some reason. I still dress comfortably without wearing revealing clothing. But then, I don't particularly care to wear clothes that shows off my curved spine. I never felt comfortable wearing button up shirts or slacks. I don't really care to freak people out by showing off the scar I got when I was in a Bicycle vs. Car accident at the tender age of 7 either. The pedal went through the leg, bone was showing; all that really cool gory stuff.My mom and dad never told me how to dress - they let me wear whatever I liked.
All that aside, I have still been checked out on occasion. Even took a girl I met at a bowling alley out on a couple of dates after she admitted to checking me out. I kind of got the impression that she liked me a little when I always seemed to get the lane right in front of is service desk where she was working. -
Quote:Additionally, anyone that intentionally wears a low cut shirt loses any rights to be offended when they are looked at.I don't wear low cut shirts because I don't want to be looked at, you shouldn't make your gender a point unless you want attention based on it.
Same goes for any other "sexy" or "alluring" clothing.
Not that I think you would get too offended if someone looked (not leered) at you appreciatively, LISAR
Yes, occasionally, gender will come up in conversations. But, I can literally count the number of times, on one hand, I've had it come up for me in the 7 years I've been here. -
This sounds like a job for Arcanaville.

That usually works for summoning the hero in the comics...
