All of everything being said, since the "classic" pools received an upgrade recently, I think that looking at these to allow them to be selected together would be nice. I like options.
You could play up the leadership role. Can you make the Night Widow or Fortunatas on the male body type? Or maybe go with a good Crabermind kind of build? Something that really amplifies the other members of the team.
I think that the "proof" is that they currently ARE exclusive. A character is not allow more than one. Since this game mechanic was introduced with the "origin" power pools, it hardly seem accidental.
I've always wanted to make an entire supergroup of slightly misspelled characters. I think it would be quite fun to run around as a group with The Fallen Angle, Bob the Grate, and (the above mentioned) Diety of Chaos!
I also have a Redragon keyboard. I've had it about 1/2 a year now and it is still going strong on the OG keys and switches. I think I did the "brown" switches, if that matters at all.
I don't know why opening options freezes your PC, but if you only need to turn on XP for your character, log in as that character an enter this slash command:
/option_set NoXP 0
That should turn XP back on for your character until you can figure out what is causing it to freeze up on you.
My guess is: 39,680,000,000
I concur about Howard the Duck. That movie never clicked with me. I had a friend that loved it, but he also loved pineapple on pizza, so he's not to be trusted.
That is the highest number that can be stored in one register. 2^32 power. But another register could be added to count influence higher if the need was great enough.
You can only count to 5 on one hand (register), but if you add another you can count all the way to 10!
Likewise.
I just wish that it provided "invisibility" to the faction that matched the costume. It would be GREAT to be able to use the Carnie costume to not aggro carnies while it was toggled on.
When this happens out of the blue, it is almost always an anti-virus update / change that isn't letting the game save the file.
Check your exclusions for cityofheroes.exe or see if you can set the game directory to be excluded -- or at least the screenshots directory.
After looking over the list of changes, I have to say that for me this is the best QoL patch that I can remember. The location and thumbtack changes alone are incredible. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
