Quote:FINAL UPDATE:Originally Posted by milehigh77
UPDATE!
I just tried to use i17 respec & it got buggy on me again. Here's how it happened: I was in the process of placing my ehancements in their proper slots. I was at the point where I still had 3 full lines of enhanements plus about 5 ehancements in the 4th line. As soon as I removed one of the remaing 5 ehancements, the 4th line collapsed to 3 lines. The 4 ehancements that were in the 4th line disappeared.
I'm not so much posting this for any players who will no doubt redicule me but if a redname happens to come across this thread, I may have found a bug.- Okay I figured out the problem. It seemed the 4th line of enhancements collapsed on itself once it was down to 5 or so enhancements. Prior to reaching this point I had placed 10 enhancements into the character holding tray. As soon as the 4th line collapsed I placed some of the enhancements from the tray back into the window which held the enhancements I had yet to place into powers.
The enhancements I thought I had lost were now within the remaining enhancements window.
So problem solved.
Thx to enrious2 for responding to my post. -

You know I had a similar experience with my i17 respec but I did not complete the process.
Long story short, as I was down to my last 20 or so enhancements I am 99.9% sure I was missing some of my Touch of Death enhancements!
Once I realized they had magically disappeared I quit the respec process.
The possibility does exist though that my eyesight had momentarily failed me and I wasn't able to notice the enhancements there.
I feel in my heart the enhancements had disappeared somehow but sometimes the heart is mistaken ;-*(

Im telling u that I had a bunch of really expensive sets.. orange lettered special sets. that were mixed up and slotted like sorrocco ( of course wrong spelling). all the Mako bite stuff. Orange handcuff looking enhancements. every thing i had was some type of special enhancement.. Did u ever see the purple enhancement that u can only use as 1 slot. I think its for a pet. check the black market. some of things cost 50 million a pop. this was one of my early toons that i used and didnt know what half the stuff meant was just trying to get bigger overall bonuses.. 168 million at least i should of gotten back... go to the black market recipes for enhancements are very very expensive. 50 SO's are for rookies...
You are misunderstanding BIG TIME my friend.
You do not receive the sell value you see at the markets. You see, the prices at the markets are determined by THE PLAYERS, not the game. If you want to know how much the game will buy your enhancements back for you should visit either a generic store vendor(Longbow costume) or an origin's vendor. -

Ok someone must pay!!!! respect on a level 50.... had all kind of crafted recipe slots... when i was turning em in... it said 168 plus million i was gonna get... well apparently they pocket the crafted stuff and only give u the quarter master bought stuff... NO PROBLEM!!! but devs, dont calculate an amount of total assets that i earned and when I respec give a false total... let me guess I somehow should of read the fine print. It should plainly say...... every thing that u crafted will not be turned into money.. well i have a 50 dom with all empty circles and no money!! thanks i will now reac havok on paragon city with a lvl 50 at the power of a lvl 3 sweeeeeet!!

- offline SG/VG invites, promotions, demotions
- base rent changed from manual to auto
- allow the height slider to go down to 2ft
I'm sure I can think of more, but those were the first to pop into my cranium. -
I'm 100% sure any famous people, to whichever degree, would prefer no one know when they are online while gaming.
Those who want to be known will no doubt advertise their gaming handles.
This thread cannot lead to anything productive. Does the fact Tom Hanks play CoX validate something for you? Why does the possibility cross your mind? It doesn't cross mine.
Do you simply want to know because "it's cool?"
I think you can rest easy there. It is likely the rich & famous play this and other MMOs. The statistical probability is high enough to where you can be assured you may have, on numerious occasions, played with the rich & famous.
If you're hellbent on finding out with 100% certainty exactly which rich & famous are playing, then you're beyond my level of understanding. -

Well in my case (I can't speak for anyone else) it's kind of like people are saying that my own powers aren't good enough. I solo around 99% of the time, so I enjoy trying to get by on my own powers (and inspirations in some cases) alone. Having a bunch of buffs that I didn't ask for on me takes away from that.
teehee. -
considering all the improvements this game needs, not to mention new power sets, story arcs etc.....i guarantee running up the walls of a building...which provides basically no use other than to put a smile on a geek's face...is near the end of most people's "want" list.
it actually isn't on my list at all.
seriously, what would this accomplish?
nerd A: hey guys, watch this!
---nerd A runs up the side of a building---
nerd B: whoa, that was cool!
nerd C: ok guys, you've been taking turns running up buildings for like 15 mins now...you wanna do some missions? -
Quote:There are no plans to allow transfers of any kind from heroes to villains.Originally Posted by Fusion_7
Figured it out. I signed in with my Hero toon and just "re-accepted" the influence back to them. Then, I deleted the email. Got my influence back like nothing happened. With that being said, does anyone know when GR goes live if we will have the ability to trans from Hero to Villain or is that only a dream?
When GR goes live it does not automatically turn villains into heroes. You have to go through a story arc/arcs to complete the switch from one alignment to the other. -
Quote:Electric-Knight said it ruins his/her concept.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
I don't really understand why people don't want the great buffs that Mystic Fortune gives, but it does seem odd that they would remove the option to not take it. It's good to have that option for those that want it (or if they have The Fool cast on them and they want it to expire, not be renewed).
And as some may or may not have caught my arguement within a few threads, concept=gimp.
They don't want a small buff because it ruins their concept.
Their concept is to be gimp.
That'll do 'er. -
I can say with 100% certainty this feature is a "when" and not an "if."
It is my opinion the reason we can now transfer inf. amongst our alts is because the devs did some # crunching on the markets and saw enormous amounts of inf. spent on lvl 5 intangibility training enhancements. They saw the player base's determination to pass the wealth along to their lower lvl alts & decided to throw a bone our way.
I have to imagine they are aware people are constantly looking for bridges to bring alts into their own SG/VGs. So hopefully offline SG/VG invite/promote/demote are an issue away.
Oh btw devs, if you're gonna toss us this bone I would appreciate it if you all changed SG/VG rent so that it is automatically charged to prestige instead of having us pay manually. -
I'm only on my 24th month Vet. badge so my opinion isn't as informed as many others.
With that out of the way, I will say of all secondaries available to MMs Dark Miasma is the best choice.
It has come to my attention, in my limited time playing MMs, I am most effective running mish in BG mode. Buffs aren't as useful as debuffs in my opinion since I like to draw as much agro as I can away from the pets towards the MM.
DM offers all the goods to take tough opponents. Massive -to hit, good -res & a decent touch of -regen. Psuedo-control with dark servant. Dark Miasma is waayy up there in comparison to the other secondaries in my opinion.
I will say my opinion is heavily biased since I take Provoke on all my MMs to take full advantage of BG mode.
So in a nutshell, my opinion is only valid if one takes Provoke & plays in BG mode 99.999% of the time. -
I just had a dumb idea to address Mercs.
You see...the most bada$$ mercenaries in the cox universe are Malta.
So I'm just sayin.....
tier 2 pets: Maltaesque Gunslingers
tier 3 pet: Maltaesque Zeus Class Titan
Dumb I know, but n00bs can dream.....can't they. -
What I get from reading Castle's words is APPs & PPPs will not change. The Q that isn't answered is how the devs plan to line the ATs up with respect to changing alignment.
I think the only pairing we can say is 100% correct would be Dominator=Controller.
The other 4 may or may not be so easy to answer. Especially for nubs like me.
In my nub brain, the other 4 pairings are as such:- Defender=Corruptor
- Scrapper=Brute
- Tank=Mastermind
- Blaster=Stalker
So in a nutshell, it looks like epic pools will not change with respect to powers available. The Q, in my mind at least, is how the devs view each ATs counterpart. -

Here's the linky that will provide the answer to your Q.
My apologies again.

Don't you worry.
Someone will be along very shortly to hold your hand & answer your Q.
I think the best thing the community can do is not enable another's lack of motivation and capabilities.
The answer is very easy to find.
The one hint I will provide is in the form of a Q: if this information is in fact available somewhere on these forums, whom do you imagine would provide such information? I will say they are known by a shorthand title that ryhmes with Bev. -
Quote:Sorry to nitpick here but "tedious" would be having to cast upgrades on every individual pet as opposed to upgrading them all with 1 click.....ya.Originally Posted by Necrotron_RO
So, this has been bugging me ever since I started replaying Masterminds since they changed them.
I understand it reduces setup time by a good deal to have the Equip and Upgrade powers AoE, but they're just so endurance expensive now. It makes playing pets like Ninjas pretty darn frustrating because when you lose one teir one pet, which happens every fight, you have to spend nearly your entire endurance bar to resummon and re-upgrade.
Now, I'm sure people land on both sides of the fence here. People like the new AoE upgrades. I personally prefered the old single target upgrade, since you could easily resummon a tier 1 pet and reequip, without having to rest. It makes playing a MM tedious for me because I'm constantly spending my entire endurance bar resummoning one pet.
But what if we reintroduced the power, by allowing you to have a choice between the old and the new equip, or perhaps even granting the ability to do either?
There is a good suggestion in this thread about the cost of upgrading pets should correspond with the # of pets being upgraded. -
I would just like to say this thread is fantastic
and I applaud all of you who have participated.
The information & opinions offered by you all in this thread are very much appreciated.

Quote:Ya, you're right & I was wrong about this.Originally Posted by Evilanna
I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that making new loading screens is a waste of time? Because if so the devs obviously disagree with you since they are indeed making new loading screens.
Also, wouldn't the art department be working on loading screens? Why would they have anything to do with PvP or power sets? I think the Paragon art team is great, but I wouldn't let them anywhere near that stuff. In the same vein I wouldn't allow the powers guys or those working on PvP to touch the loading screens.
So, if the art lead thinks his department can swing making a few loading screens, then who's to say differently (unless War Witch has something urgent for them to do. And that most certainly wouldn't have anything to do with PvP or powers, it would probably have something to do with, you know, the art assets of the game.)
Thanks again

Quote:Again, you're engaging in a debate/arguement/exchange of opinions etc with respect to an issue which should be an absolutely non-issue.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Search the forum a bit. You'll find a *player* did new loading screens in not all that long. Ever think it's potentially "too simple to have noticed" until people brought it up? It improves the overall image of the game to not have loading screens stretched and showing "on release" graphics, especially with Ultra Mode coming up. (Note, on "being stretched," they've changed the ENHANCEMENT screen so it isn't stretched in the I17 beta now.)
Some of you keep trying to keep an meaningful exchange goin where none exists. Seems to me some are just in it for the aggravation, not for the health of the game.
Do some in the customer base think the devs should look into pvp some more? No, we need new loading screens!
How about some cool new power sets? Ahem, no where are my new loading screens?
& you managed to miss my point when you put yourself in the middle of my scrap with technogeek. If loading screens take the absolute minimum effort to create and introduce then I would think they would have made new screenies for every issue released to date.
And yet the arguement will commence.
I still don't get how some still fail to grasp my point. If a monkey can make new loading screens, then why hasn't it happened more often in the past 5+ years?
Again, the devs don't care about 'em or they in fact do require the kind of resources that would otherwise go to the development of new arcs, power sets, game mechanics.
Anyway, this argueing for arguement's sake is getting old pretty fast.
So I'll end it.
I'm wrong.
You're right.
I lose.
You win.
Moving on. -

Way to blow it hugely out of context?
I was curious wether they would actually get around to re-vamping the loading screens, which havent changed since launch, to include the new shinies of Ultra Mode. I got an answer, one I did not previously have, by reading the Q&A. So, all those going 'Waaah, want naow Entitlement!' saying that this was pointless and there was no new answers; there were. Admittedly not all of them, but a number. If you dont find them meeting your standards...well...tough? You are surprised at the marketting department after how long of them being just like this?
tl;dr
It'll be ready...when it's ready.
Considering everything that's on the table with this game, not to mention keeping players hooked so they don't stray to competitors, you feel the loading screens are worth allocating resources?
As the saying goes, whatever floats your boat.
If the loading screens consisted of about 72 hours of labor then I would think, after nearly 6 years, they would have changed them a bit. This leaves two possibilities:- the devs give a rat's anus to bother with them
- or they've decided to allocate resources to other areas of the game they felt were more important
The second option would suggest the loading screens aren't as simple as assigning an intern to work on them over a weekend.
So you all heard it here folks. I favor the devs concentrate on new power sets, proliferation, story arcs, greater costume customization....& Technogeek here wants them to spend time on the loading screens.
Have a great day.

Hmm. Some of it was interesting little tidbits.
T'be honest, I'd be more worried if the Devs were spouting off 'Oh yeah, we'll have X, and Y and such-and-such and it will all be soon and great with unicorns on top!' rather than being a tad more reserved but confident they can make it awesome. Jack was like that. We all know what happened to Jack.
And I know I didn't know about things like insp vendors in Praetoria that may move over to Paragon/Isles as well, and the newest GM, and that a 'notch' of side switching is aimed at around a week.

Quote:I'm surprised you all missed the thread in the announcements section. i17 goes live the 28th & if you recall the thread about getting GR early...demons was to be released with the live implemntation of i17.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
Given the troubles they seem to be having with the set I'd prefer a proper working version of it is released a week into May rather than a buggy version next Tuesday.
I suspect they might try and throw a new test patch out later today and hope that works to elimenate the Sound and Particle problems the pets seem to be generating. Then they can push i17 out next Tuesday or Wednesday and still be within their "In April" timetable.
So now we just count down the days....5....moare....dayzzzzz!
