    Yep.

    Nobody in Closed Beta is allowed to tell you. NDA and all that... Wait for Open Beta.
  4. There's also new stuff because if there wasn't people would 'use up' all the content and leave -- especially for a subscription MMO.

    Expand or die.

    Now, what the competition is doing (and not just CO, but WoW et al.) may influence the direction of the expansion.

    You didn't send in any /bug reports from I15 Clopen Beta so Ghost Falcon removed you.

Now, everything is plain old white and black. I really hope this gets fixed sometime soon.
    There is a workaround if you don't mind one or two extra keystrokes.
  7. It was going to be announcing a costume contest under the statue of Atlas in Atlas Park.

    They'll be retroactive to your current alts. You'll change their tints at a tailor.
  9. I've looked at the new bars with vischeck.com and the patrol xp was indeed changed and can be distinguished from regular xp for those with deuteranopic, protanopic, or tritanopic colorblindness.

    Of course, be distinguishable and be easy to read are not necessarily the same thing.
  10. You might also want to check with the Wiki:

    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Gaining_..._Crafter_Badge

    Also, Positron Twittered that he approved changes for a bunch of hard to get badges for Issue 16. So, there's a possibility that some of these badges might get changed. You might want to wait to see what those changes are when Open Beta hits before going for hard-to-get badges right now.

    Nivienne on Twitter: I'm surprised with how many players are wanting to keep the "_" in their names. Would have thought you guys would really want to lose it.
    That's because the default forum skin has the name in the post, which is a hyperlink, underlined by default. So, with the default skin, names with and without underscores look exactly the same.

    fixt.

    The owner of the mission might have outleveled their mission. So, if the owner is level 22 and the mission is level 20, everyone SSKs to 22, not 20.

    There may be, but if you use Google's Chrome browser you can change the size of any multi-line text edit box on any web page. I use it all the time now because it's just SO convenient to change the edit box size.
    So, you tried it with the editing boxes of this vBulletin? I ask because there are FireFox plug-ins which do the same... but they do not work for this vBulletin's editing box, it's mojo is too strong for a mere plug-in to overcome.

    You can just test to see if your underscore is gone by looking at one of your old posts, it's retroactive.

    Were you counting non-human males and females?

    The Zig is full of underscores and NAs and EUs.
  18. The game *tries* not to spawn foes in your sight, but if it's time to spawn and the deadline is due and there's nowhere else to spawn but in your sight or on top of you.... it will.

    This is more common in Peregrine where some groups have a specific neighborhood they haunt and a limited number of spawn points (it's a narrow island).

    Sometimes if the server is a bit laggy, SuperSpeeders will see spawns spawning right on top of them all the time since they catch up to a spawn point before the spawn is spawned.
  19. Were you providing your pet teammate with any defensive buff or debuffing the ACC of your foes?
  20. Yous guys are fast!

    Thanks!

    Down with the underscored hegemony!

    III. [url="http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?p=578371#post578371"]ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS[/url]
    III. ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS

    This link suffers from the same baditude the last forum software suffered from: You are forcibly directing someone to boards.cityofheroes.com... The boards can be accessed from all the previous URLs, not JUST this one. These forums come with their own special codes ([thread=] and [post=]) to use instead:

    III. [post=578371]ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS[/post]
    III. ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS

    It's also shorter.
    Excuse me, I'm about to go off on a rant. You have a valid suggestion, but I have a bad history with this, and so... rant on:



    grrrrr. No. I'm through with that nonsense. It was a royal PITA to use the old boards' special coding so that everyone went to their particular favorite URL when they clicked on a link. Those special links couldn't be edited online since they appeared on the boards as special HTML coding and not UBB coding. And the same problem will happen with the shortened 'post=' code if someone wants to copy that link to elsewhere, like a Wiki article, e.g., and it won't work and they'll have to edit it.

    'coh' and 'cityofvillains' URLs take you to boards.cityofheroes.com. The mods should do the same with 'uk' and whatever other URL monstrosities that exists out there and stop supporting all these URLs as if they were separate websites since they're not. The 'fr' version doesn't even take you to a French language version nor even have the French forums open when you get to the site. All URLs are bringing you to the same exact front page with the same exact interface and skin.

    This is a clear case of KISS, and it's stupid not to keep it simple. Get the mods to make all the URLs point to the main URL, or they're welcome to change all the links in the GUIDES to the special proprietary UBB code, cause I'm not bothering with that nonsense. The links I'm creating right now come from dragging and dropping the link as it appears in a thread list into the boards' own editor. This means that the board itself doesn't automatically support it's own thread linking feature.

    Using the UBB 'post=' code is just a BAD IDEA since it's not a standard portable code.

    There, rant done.

    Too simplistic. Not enough cross-dimensional Marcus Co-Els punching reality.
