    It looks like you will get a token if someone else holds that name, but if you are the owner of the name (through having an alt there already) you won't and the test server rule applies.
  2. Perfect timing. My son and I were just talking about character moves. Thank you for this timely gift.

    leveling pact

    If you are looking to play together a lot, the levelling pact actually works really nicely. My son and I did it for some of our earliest adventures in the game. I like the idea of leveling a set of 4 all at once, never tried that.

    EDIT: Wait, NM, there it went. man, when did my DSL go all dial-uppy?

    Not sure if it's your DSL LB. I'm not even getting the broken graphic. The boards have been brutal slow for refreshes for the last hour for me.

    Posting in the right forum? I'm afraid you are asking too much of our dear friend MLEdelen. This IS the author of the brilliant No More Martial Arts thread after all. Which he also posted in this particular forum rather than where it needed to be.

    two words: learning impervious.

    I'm curious how it would break the game?

    I think about the fact that players can trade with each other and wonder how being able to trade with myself would somehow be any different?

    I always liked having account-wide storage available to my characters in Guildwars.

    Advertising!!

    Maybe Vince Offer can take some time away from ShamWow and Slap-Chop ads and do some late night shilling for City of Heroes!

  8. I have only two characters who could switch for story reasons and they would work. Both are not human and have different moral frameworks. I can see either one of them deciding to cross the line to accomplish their own goals.

    BaBs, please fix the bug with weapon redraws that is preventing Paragon Studios from advertising nationally.

    Character Bios

    All of my characters on Virtue have bios. Of the few that languish unused over on Infinity, I think half have bios.

    Being able to move around the different frames is nice but it would be really nice if there was a way of locking them in place. By locking, I mean disabling the ability to accidentally drag them out place.

    Thats it
    You mean your trays on your HUD? Like powers, map etc?

    New Cape Mission

    So, I'm guessing you're gonna have to get the New Cape mission out of the way before you can get to the Aura mission. It's really not laborious, especially if you floor your difficulty level.
    I expected as much. At least I can Ouro back from the far corner of IP when the time comes. I don't mind the part where I fight the Rikti at all.

    Having to run it twice should unlock Union Jack shorts or something.

    New Cape Mission

    I'm curious about this because I had a character hit 30 who hadn't run the cape mission at all and was forced to run the new cape mission before the aura mission was offered.

    Now I have one who was mid cape arc when the mission changed and upon completion of the arc was offered the new one and I don't want to be forced to run it again when I hit 30 and want to snag the aura mission. Anyone been in this boat?

  15. I've only been on for a year and because of altitis I still haven't got anyone above level 35 so I have a ton of stuff yet to discover. I'm currently visiting Cimerora for the first time with my shield and broadsword scrapper (she fits right in!) and having a great time.

    I really need to see if I can get either of the 35s up to 50 at some point. must... focus... must... resist.... alts....
  16. A letter from one of my earlier toons who has since been deleted. Perhaps I will just pretend that he went.

  17. I love how much personality these have Deebs. They aren't just "I draw what I see." You really bring some life to them.
  18. Must.get.home!!

    I'll post a good shot of Delicious Jailbait my Super Magical Girl as soon as I get home. *glee* I don't have a good shot of her in her transformation make-up fighting costume in the profile. *must fix that* [edit]: fixed!!




    If I could I would have look a little more Asian and she really needs to be doing a peace sign rather than a salute. ^___^

    About DJ. Kowaru is the daughter of a Japanese scientist who is working in the Hospital on Talos Island. When not in school she volunteers at the hospital but sometimes she fights crime as super magical girl Delicious Jailbait! Playful, spunky and sometimes says things she shouldn't in the middle of combat.
  19. My fire/fire troller uses pale white/blue flames in varying hues. I still get the occasional compliment about the look. I tweaked it a few times to ensure that it was attractive and subtle and didn't overwhelm anyone.

    I was in a cave map with a grotesque bubbler that had such hard bright bubbles I couldn't see anything most of the time.
  20. My emp/en Defender just hit the slippery slope part of her career at level 35. Coming from other MMOs, learning the real strength of her powerset has been fun and interesting in how it has forced me out of my traditional playing-style.

    Reading this thread and others has helped me to see the shift that is occuring more clearly. The last 10 levels has seen a consistent shift towards focusing on buffs. Depending on circumstances, I may still just set HA to auto to keep everyone topped up, but I spend a lot of my time ensuring that Fort and Clear mind are always on people who can benefit from them and hitting as many people as possible with auras if there is no way to call a group hug. Based on what I am reading, I am becoming the right kind of 'empath' to ensure that I will be a useful, even valuable, member of teams as I continue up the levels.

    I'm encouraged. I loved playing my monk in GW because it was hectic and required that I always be paying attention. Here in CoH, once my scrapper started getting a little boring, I decided to try a defender and so far she has been fun and rewarding.

    My thoughts exactly. I think there would have been some down-right tearjerkers submitted.
  23. These are wonderful additions to the CoX canon. 50 people went? Given the quality of this batch of letters, I do hope we get to see all 50 letters in the end.

    Might have made a great community competition.

    Auto Jump ?

    Both are very handy with the ninja run, though I had autojump from back in my superjump days.
    I really need to consider setting that bind. That would save me some frustration.

    • Did you just enter the first instance and stay there, enter the second and stay there, or enter the first and then transfer to the second?
    • There was a short period when entry to the second did not work at the white present. Did you try and enter the second zone during this period and fail?
    Thanks again to everyone that participated in the 2009 Winter Event test!!
    I was on hero side.
    I had moved from the first WL instance to the second instance. (much as Photonstorm described)
    In the second instance I waited for the timeout after hunting for a while (because I hadn't figured out how to leave :S )
