IIRC, it was in the patch notes but didn't work at the time. -
Yes, this give-away is definitely a power, just like all the Halloween temp costume powers. This is not player costume pieces.
The Praetorian Clockwork Gloves leaked during Beta may be part of a player costume release in Going Rogue, or, an NPC part that will disappear soon. -
Great job, SuckerPunch!
Quote:Everyone should stop trying to format your links, please. The skins highlight them already in their own unique way. If you don't like they way they look, then there are options on your end to make them all look the way you want (see my sig). Trying to force everyone to see them they way you want is not that nettiquettey. I'm especially looking at those used to the old Hero skin and try to make their links bold and green, which looks horrible on a Villain's skin.Originally Posted by SuckerPunch
Argh, more and more I dislike these new forums. -
It's possible that if there is indeed a bugged drop rate, it might not be affecting every recipe pool, meaning that Purple drops may still be normal, but not Pool A.

Build names have been around for a while.

Quote:Who's that one player that has taken over hundreds of thousands of names?!?Originally Posted by Mischief
Over the past 5 years playing CoX, I can't count the number of times I've gotten an idea for a new character and have come up with perfect a concept, costume and name, only to find the name has already been taken.
I would love to see the CoX name monopoly lifted for Issue 17 - or sometime soon. -
Quote:There's only one improvement I want and we've all been pretty much asking for since forever:Originally Posted by Obsidius
I heard that there will be some improvements this holiday season. No specifics, so we'll just have to wait and see
Make every spawn use the Purple-Scaling Code!
This includes not only the the Zombapocalypse and Giant Monsters, which already use it, but the GM spawnlings (snow creatures, pumpkin creatures, and unseelie); and the door tricks; and the present trick.
Basically: All outdoor special spawns (including ambushes) should use the scaling-battle code so that they're neither too hard nor too easy for *anyone*. -
Normally, and we're talking the norm, what happens all the time, the servers are down 2.4% of the time in the space of a week for maintenance.
This week, the week of an issue release, which happens, normally, at most three times a year, the down time is 5% of the week.
Next week, it will go back to 2.4%.
So... let's cut out all this talk of "Zomg! why is it *ALWAYS* down!!!!!11!111???" -
That's 6 secondary powersets.
Get in line behind MMs which only have 5 powersets in their primary and Controllers which only have 6 in their primary and Dominators which have less permutations of primary + secondary than Blasters. -
It gets a little tricky with Accuracy since there's two types of accuracy: ToHit Bonus, which is an additive bonus (a 10% ToHit bonus would make 50% become 60%) and a multiplicative bonus called Accuracy (a 10% Accuracy bonus would make 50% become 55%).
Enhancements (whether normal enhancements or IOs)which enhance the Aspect of Accuracy are true Accuracy and are multiplicative.
Accuracy from IO Set Bonuses are also true Accuracy and are multiplicative.
Accuracy of 6% from the Kismet Special IO is misnamed. It is not Accuracy but an additive ToHit Buff globally applied to all attacks. -

Yeah, I can hardly wait to create xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX for my next character! Or maybe even xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXx!
So, you'd only need four characters to fill the 1.2 million slots with names.
I call dibs on G9nb. -
Quote:When you change something at a tailor/facemaker you'll see the cumulative cost at the bottom of the screen. You'll also see a togglable button that says, "pay with costume token" or some such language. Click it. The cost will be switched to 'pay with token' then when you click save and exit, you'll pay with the token instead of inf.Originally Posted by Fusion_7
Question: As silly as it sounds, I have never redeemed a costume token yet. So, with that being said, how does one redeem it and how/where do you go to see if you have one available to redeem? Is there something I need to do at the Taylor when I am about to purchase a costume part and want to substitute it with a token? And, with a Costume Token, does this allow for a "full" makeover or only for one body part to be changed? Can Costume Tokens be used to purchase the new "color power spectrum's" for i16? Thanks in advance to those who reply

Quote:Well, it's going to be difficult to troubleshoot a network connection problem on a computer which, in many cases, would ordinarily have trouble running CoH with a perfectly working network connection. Regardless of the network, that computer configuration is a mess and will give you problems running CoH and should get cleaned up.Originally Posted by Natsuki
But.. It's not the video card. The issue is "Lost connection to mapserver", it affects multiple computers besides the one see here. One of those computers works on other networks, but not when directly into the modem (This is information I just recently found out). I am hoping that this time with Pipesqueek contacting their ISP and requesting a supervisor that this issue will finally get sorted out.

These programs are running in the background: 2 antivirus programs (!!), Yahoo, itunes, web cam, skype, msmessenger, walmart (?!), quicktime, windows update, nVidia 'helper' programs, et al.
I'm surprised you were able to play the game at all previously.
You've let too much invasiveware infect your start-up registries. Any one of them, or a combination of them might be the cause. Also, you've used up 4/5 of a 116 Gig Hard Drive, so, I'm guessing the .dlls are a mess, too.
Also, your graphics card is a generation too old and 4 levels of sophistication too low to really run a intensive 3-D game (it should be a nVidia 6600 or better). That you were able to run CoH at all in the past is remarkable.
So, you need to deep clean your computer:
1. Make sure you have a Windows reboot and install disk.
2. Back up all your data.
3. Reformat your hard drive.
4. Reinstall Windows, and update it. Update all drivers.
5. Reinstall your applications and run HijackThis after each one to see who's intruding into your start up registry.
6. Reinstall your data.
If that doesn't get CoH up and running, then you need a new Graphics Card. -

Correction: who in turn hired most of the developers
Jack had already moved out of the 'CoH dept' long before the IP buy-out, although, you can make the case that as chief creative designer for Cryptic he was an ex officio developer of every project at Cryptic, including CoH (in fact, he did help out with Issue 9 as did some other devs moved over to other projects to wrangle the massive Inventions issue). -
1. Update your Graphics Card driver.
2. Go to manufacturer's website and check for new drivers for your motherboard chipset/CPU.
3. Check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines
Then post the results of this program:

Overheating, bad driver, dying graphics card are the usual culprits.
Use this to check for overheating: Speedfan

Go to the forums of Malwarebytes and follow these directions and post your HijackThis log in the HijackThis forum and those more knowledgeable than me will help you from there.
Malwarebytes was able to get rid of what Spybot, Adaware, and AVG couldn't on my machine.
Also, update Vista and get rid of other background processes such as:

hey Zombie man.... what would you consider THIS program?
O23 - Service: Andrea RT Filters Service (AERTFilters) - Unknown owner - C:\Windows\system32\AERTSr64.exe (file missing)
Even if it is legit, if you didn't install it, then it is, at least, intrusiveware and thus should be deleted, which you did. You can use HijackThis to remove the registry entry altogether.
If it was a trojan or malware, keep an eye out for other unexplained files to pop into the registry. -
