City of Heroes: Freedom (probably nsf56k)

Owenashi

This is probably one of the best Halloween temp-costumes one can get. Why oh why can't they make some of this armor available as wearable pieces? I think the only thing from this suit that's in the CC is the visor. The gauntlets would be pretty cool too as a weapon-option for Dual Pistols.

Caulk Bite 6

could be wrong, but I think those are available.

Scooter

No, the only 'PPD' suits available are the Praetorian Police.

Caulk Bite 6

okay, they probably have a similar look, then.

I just reinstalled the game from my Going Rogue Complete Collection disc. But I can't get the launcher to run at all. I'm on Windows XP.

you have to download an ncsoft launcher from the site, they abandoned the city of heroes launcher (and good riddance)

you don't have to redownload the files from the disk, it'll detect those

Thank goodness.

Aw man, it detected my installation but it wants to do a 4GB download anyway.

Also entering my Going Rogue Complete Collection serial number made my account VIP for a month. Oh boy!

Titan Weapon stuff below. First off is a video I found.



Second, a post from the G&T thread.

Man, at this rate I'm lucky to get a decent team once a week. I might have better luck if I join the server channels, but I need 4 tokens to get to tier 4 and be able to use them. I'd rather resub than be buying a bunch of points, but I don't want to resub if I can't get some regular activity!

(I can't play with PA folks because bad timezone)

Something I never figured out

Does the game keep track of what level I grabbed enhancement slots at? Do the slots I grabbed after a level I've exemplared down to become ineffective?

nope

it does keep track of the level of the enhancements themselves, though

Ledneh

So if I go stomping into (say) a level 20 team on a hideously IO'd out 50, what happens to the enhancement effects themselves, just scaled back? (I know an IO more than three levels above my current level doesn't count for activating set bonuses, but that's all I know)

Tube

Unless they're purple, you get butt shit.

Scooter

Yea, they're scaled down, I dunno the numbers. I'd like to note that this is the reason it's better to use/sell level 25 and 30 lotgs and numina's than level 50s.

procs also

Man there is nothing quite like a five man team of all your friends, some in person, some on voicechat, battling your way through a swarm of parallel Nazis to defeat an archvillian and then watching the glorious sacrifice of your own clone surrounded by the corpses of evil doubles

Personface

The Evil Double questline is thoroughly enjoyable, intriguing enough to hold attention and excellent with friends.

Henroid

I can make characters with glowing eyes now. And Dr. Orpheus style capes.

Gonna be trapped in character creator all night pretty much, re-exploring my options.

If you look closely at that picture, you'll see how tightly all those various bits fit together. They don't like releasing costume pieces that ONLY work with certain other costume pieces, the PPD set is entirely like that. Put those bits with most of the other bits in the game and they're going to clip and generally look terrible.

They did release the Enforcer set not long after PPD came out, it works a lot better for actually being fun to play around with.

RubberAC

Man i wish gnome and arrow could have glowing eyes
or if there were like, good robes

Nerdgasmic

yeah, the robes really suck

RubberAC

Ok so
i have done a few sewer runs to level
but i have no idea how these things work
i've just joined someone's team, and they've done all the stuff to enter it
It's called a Trial? How do i find these things, how do i start them?

A duck!

Get a team together, click on your LFG tab, select the sewer trial, hit queue.

RubberAC

hooray!
now
i notice every time we do it our levels are set to 2
does this happen every time automatically?


also if anyone can explain this architect stuff
that'd help
its player made content? is there any kind of screening process, or is it gonna be 90% rooms full of stuff to easily level and then like 10 actually well done things that everyone knows about

grouch993

Yes, the Sewer Trial specifically sets your level and bumps it by one at each stage. Other trials will have minimum and maximum levels, most will lower your level to match the TF or whoever is leading if their level is below the max.

Yes, player made. Screening is by playing and rating. You can search for the ones marked as developers choice or whatever it is.

RubberAC

Hey thanks!
All useful stuff, yes yes very good
now i just wish we were playing on the same server as you guys
but i don't think any of my friends will stick with it very long any way..

Owenashi

Well, it's not exactly what I was asking for but...

Three Transformation Powers - Rikti Mentalist, PPD Hardsuit, or Carnival Harlequin

These formerly convention-exclusive powers allow you to change your appearance into an NPC. ONLY Available in the Paragon Market until Dec. 6.

Market Location: Powers > Permanent Powers > NPC Transformation
480 Points Each

grouch993

Those costumes work for the "Tricked Out" Hallowe'en trial badge.

Henroid

Character screenshooooooooots.

First of all, Suplex Sam still exists. I've trashed a bunch of my pre-20 characters and all (like I always have, I love making characters), but I can never get rid of Sam. Plus he was actually fun as shit to play.

Spoiler:

First character I made coming back to the game was Civil Disorder, my Street Justice / Willpower brute that I took up through Praetoria as a member of the resistance and have on the hero side as of last night. My new favorite.

Spoiler:

I've always liked Dominators as an archetype and I've always teased them out as mental controllers mostly. I was dabbling at the choices tonight and finally made a fire themed one.

Spoiler:

Then I died during a mission because the powers don't put enemies out of commission in the same way that mental does and I wasn't expecting it. I said "fuck it," went to make a new character, and while I didn't actually go through with it (mostly 'cause plant control is also DoT-oriented like fire), I had enough variation to the fire dominator's theme to be happy with it and took a screenshot.

WeX Majors

The auras work perfectly in making your character look fuckin boss while actually serving no real purpose. One of the reasons they don't get unlocked normally until you're 30.
Hard to look awesome when you've only got two moves (or less!) to use.

RubberAC

Does anyone still play?
Also can you do the missions for capes/auras when youre a f2p player?

The Geebs That Is A Pony

you can do those missions as a f2p player, I am about 99% sure

you won't have access to all of the options for those unless you buy stuff in the store, but there's a pretty good default selection anyways

RubberAC

ugh posts are flipping around
yeah i checked the wiki, and it took me a bloody age just to find the guy, and he has no quest for me. So i checked with the other possible contact anyway, and she didnt say a thing. frustrating.

The Geebs That Is A Pony

everything's turning flipways

RubberAC

Ok i am confused as to

how to get it then
i was told that i go to my original questgiver, matthew burke? right? the big dude
but he has nothing to tell me
and neither does the girl

RubberAC

frustrating.

Narbus

Who does do capes redside now? It's still the City Rep blueside...hmm.

Lep

Gotta use the find contact button to get the contact for the villain cape/aura mission.

Owenashi

He's a special Goldbricker sitting in the middle of a small hedge-maze in CAD's New Haven neighborhood. If you're going to do his mission, you might as well pick up the 2nd Costume Slot mission as well if you haven't done it seeing they'll both take you to Sharkhead Isle.
