    I think we know what's coming for long-time players later this month...

    You say you're Alt-Tabbed out of CoH, but you're not... LIAR!!
  2. Same here.

    BAB fixed it, but it got fixed wrong.

    So, he fixed it again.

    It should fixed in a Patch... soon.
  3. When I issue a /petsayall <em XXX> command, all my necro pets follow it.

    However, petsay commands are broken for binds, at least with Necro pets. They work in macros and typing them into the command line. Or you can use the /beginchat in a bind to put the petsay command into the command line and then just hit enter. E.g.:

    /bind <key> beginchat "/petsayall <emote dance>"

    Will put /petsayall <emote dance> in the command line. Then just hit enter.
  4. Guess: Right foot is the default node when a lookup for a node on a model comes up empty.
  5. WRT "Darkness" Secondary: It's not unknown for Epic Signature NPCs to have signature powersets.
  6. If you want to give the Devs a gift, before you send them a basket...

    1. Buy a year's subscription. Nothing tells corporate your customers are happy and committed to the game better than this; and,

    2. Buy all the editions and boosters.


    Then, send a gift.
  7. As Venture pointed out, the Knives of Artemis use the Broadsword attacks with their own custom swords, so, there already is Broadsword Stalkers in the game.

    Ticket Rolls are weighted, though. The Merits are not.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Merit Rolls are indeed weighted. The newly combined Pool C+D is on a weighted table and the Merit Roll, Gold Ticket Roll, and Boss-kill drops all use the same weighted table.

    And they think they just nailed down the cause of that one. So, a fix... soon.
  10. Hard Drive cleaning ====


    1. Go to control panel and then Add/Remove Programs and get rid of any programs you don't need any more.

    2. Go into Windows Explorer (not the Internet Explorer) and right click on your C: drive and chose Properties. Under the General Tab, you'll see a button for Disk Cleanup, run it and get rid of deleted (recycle bin) and temp files.

    3. Under the General Tab, make sure Indexing is not selected. Unless you need to do quick searches of your documents on a regular basis, you don't need this. It may take a while to propagate the un-indexing to all the sub-folders.

    4. Go to the Tools Tab and click on the defrag button. Run the defragger. It may take an hour or two to defrag. Make sure the computer doesn't power down during it (you'll find power options where you change the screen saver -- right click on desktop...).

    Want to die...

    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.
  12. If it was Grandville, shut off Enable Geometry Buffer.

    Might be connected to dragging-your-pet. The Oportal is like a pet and auto-tps to you when you get far enough away. It might have 'dragged' the other Oportal and it's player with it. If that's the case, then this trick won't work going to another zone.
  14. The color sticks for the last global chat color you joined, but not for the others.

  15. Since we have a separate thread for Powerset Proliferation, pardon my reposting:

    To expand on InfamousBrad's list, let me add to it the new total number of sets plus the total permutations (primary/secondary/permutations):

    Scrappers: Electric Melee, Electric Armor 9/8/72
    Tankers: Electric Melee, Electric Armor 8/10/80
    Brutes: Claws, no new secondary 10/8/80
    Stalkers: Broadsword, no new secondary 8/7/56


    Blasters: Radiation Blast, no new secondary 9/6/54
    Controllers: no new primary, Cold Domination 7/9/63
    Defenders: Traps, Assault Rifle 10/9/90
    Corruptors: Archery, Trick Arrows 9/10/90
    Dominators: no new primary, Earth Assault 6/7/42
    Masterminds: no new primary, Thermal Radiation 5/8/40


    To those wondering about Brutes not getting a new secondary, keep in mind, that among the possible Defense Sets; Brutes, Scrappers, and Tanker will each now have 8 sets while Stalkers only have 7. Brutes are certainly not behind on Defense Sets, they came out of the gate with a lot more Defense Sets than Scrappers or Tankers had.

    WRT Dominators, there's only one Control Set left to proliferate, and that's Illusion. I don't know why they didn't go ahead with the inevitable. And since Malaise has dark illusion pets.... After that happens, there are no more Control Set to proliferate since Controllers and Dominators will have all of them. It is time to start thinking about a brand new Control Set such as Electric, Energy, Rad, Dark, Devices.

    Masterminds are getting a new set come Going Rogue: Demon Summoning, bringing them up to, 6/8/48. Eventually, they'll be getting Cold, Radiation, and Sonic since Debuff Sets are a no-brainer for their Secondary. Kinetics will be trickier to port to them.


    Remember, proliferation is about taking a set from a Powerset Category and giving it to another AT that shares in that Powerset Category with some minor tweaking. Once there is major tweaking or new powers added, then it's no longer a relatively easy proliferation, it becomes tantamount to adding and developing a brand new Set. That's why it's surprising to see Dominators get Earth Assault, that is more than proliferation, that should be considered a new Powerset.

    Not to rain on anyone's parade but if I end up paying $39.99 for two new power sets that I don't find interesting, I will be one angry gamer...those demons better be Completely new and awesome looking....if I get to control Nerva Demons, Behemoths and other in game demons...I'll be angry

    --Demon Summoning/Darkness*

    What does Darkness mean? Can it mean Dark Pact? Dark Miasma?

    --Dual Pistols/Energy*

    Is this Energy Melee from the current set?

    It is not unknown for Epic Signature NPCs to have signature powersets (2 powers from column A and 3 powers from column B).

    I posted about this yesterday in the AE forums.

    I don't go there. It's too scary.
  18. Recently listed:

    Design (Mission Designer)
    Production (Associate Producer)
    Production (Online Community Mgr)


    And yes, the Online Community Mgr position mentions "This position will be an influential role within the studio not only on the current City of Heroes®/City of Villains product, but also our next MMO." But so does one of the other job descriptions and may only be a reference to Going Rogue... or not.
  19. It's fixed on Test. Waiting for it to come to Live.
  20. Right.

    But let's say you TP to base 4 times in under 20 minutes: My way would use the Purchased TPer first, and then 3 charges of the Day Job TPer. Your way would use up four charges of the Day Job TPer and leave the Purchased TPer unused.

    Or let's say in the course of an evening you TP to base 4 times spread out an hour intervals: My way would use the Purchased TPer all four times. Your way would use up four charges of the Day Jop Tper and leave the Purchased TPer unused.

    You way uses up limited charges first. I'm not saying you have to change your way, I'm just saying it's illogical.

    What's AE?

    [ QUOTE ]
    AE can also be seen as Æ which is the Latin symbol for copper.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Close. AE comes from 'aes cyprium' which means "bronze stuff from Cyprus" which means copper. 'Copper' thus originates from 'Cyprus.' The AE abbreviation used today in that regard means 'copper-ish' and can mean copper, bronze, or brass.

    Later, copper gets its own Latin name, 'cuprum', which leads to the real Latin abbreviation of copper on the periodic table of elements, Cu.

    I soloed it with all the AVs as EBs if that's what you're asking.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Citadel spawns as a HERO (i.e., AV class) while the rest are EBs. And, he flies. He's the most important one to bring along and keep alive.

    Also, it helps if you chew down lots of Def insps and attack the Jade Spider from above, IOW, taking the alpha so all those EBs can do the damage they need to do. The flying heroes will follow you so that AoEs don't take them all out together.
