Ironblade

hmm.... Item history spreading across items could explain the bug I came across. I had a bid of 650,000 in for a week, yet this item sold for 1,000 just today. That shouldn't be possible.

You have 3 quotation marks in there. That may be messing things up. They should generally be in pairs and you don't actually need any for those commands.

The "solid profit" was a joke and 'chump change' in terms of their global business. Sure, it was making a profit, but so small that it wasn't an enticement to them. Are you familiar with the business concept of 'return on investment' or ROI? If they were putting $1 million a year (random number) into the game to get 5% profit and they could put that money into a game running in South Korea for a 10% profit, that is a complete no-brainer decision to dump the lower profit potential game. In such a situation, it is absolutely NOT in NCSoft's best interest to leave well enough alone.

Yes. Before we had Ouroboros, when someone got a mission like 'Rescue the Fortune Teller', they would announce it because the only way to get the badge was to run the mission from the contact, whether it was your mission or not.

So . . . the game is gone to the Nigerians?

Worth noting: in order to unlock certain Task Force contacts, you can use Ouroboros to run the specific arc that unlocks it. In your example, to unlock Ernesto Hess, you can do just Lars Hansen's arc via Ouroboros. Other Task Force / Trial contacts that need to be unlocked are: Karsis (Cavern of Transcendence) and Katie Hannon. I can't think of any others offhand.

Define "credit". It's likely that others will not even have the contact active, let alone that specific mission, so they will not get credit in that sense. If the mission awards a badge upon completion, yes, everyone will get the badge. The mission complete XP will also be given to all players, although I seem to recall it's prorated if you weren't there for the entire mission.

Not sure if this is any help to you, or if you're beyond this point, but: I'm sure you recall the Titan Sentinel tool that let you export your character information to an XML file. Are you aware they recently created an extraction tool that reads the costume data and generates the .costume format files used by CoH? Edit: Here's the extraction tool. https://cit.cohtitan.com/senticon/

I never heard it called that. I'm only familiar with the Inverse Ninja law - where the threat posed is inversely proportional to the number of enemies.

What was Vader's quote? "I find your lack of faith disturbing." Your depressing options are not the only possible outcomes.

Works for me. I had two subscriptions active (for the perks) even after the game went F2P. I needed two accounts because we could only have 12 characters per server originally. By the time they increased that, I had two accounts. And I bought every expansion/DLC/etc for the first account and everything but costume sets for the second account.

To repeat Veracor, the channel name is Everlasting TFs - WITH AN S AT THE END. I'm pretty sure that's the correct name since that channel, with an S on the end, has 121 people online right this minute. P.S. I just checked, and there is also an 'Everlasting TF' but with only 13 people online. Everlasting TFs (with the S) is the right channel. Also just noticed, the Message of the Day is from Veracor. 🙂

Aside from looking good, the functionality is a tremendous improvement over the original software.

I don't think there is a solution for pets. I had a character with Group Fly once upon a time and used it for teammates. The same problem existed, but the solution was to let someone slow or low level be the 'lead flyer' and you (with Group Fly) would auto-follow them and everyone else would auto-follow you. So, if there was a way to tell one or more pets to fly to the next mission or a point on the map.......

I am sad I did not get to see this in person. It was in Philadelphia last year and I'll be there next month.

Definitely this. Back in the day, I had four powers for my Destiny slot that I could choose between for high level content.

The purpose of this is to prevent people from trying to wring out every last inf from a sale. You can't post at a high price, reduce it a little if it doesn't sell, etc. I mean, you CAN, but it will cost you. The system encourages you to post an item at a reasonable price on the first try.

Well, I used my ill/kin for Hamidon raids so he 'earned' a lot of Hami-Os. I slotted Flash with 3 endoplasm (acc/mez) and 3 recharge. So, it was.... usable.

I click on their name on the team window. Since this is mostly necessary for targeted heals, my attention is already on the team window so it's easy to move the pointer over. The numpad might have been good, but that's already used when I load massive bind files for mothership raids and sewer trials.

Yes, but. I sometimes check powersets. I don't ask for specific ATs, let alone builds, but if I have two defenders on the team, I'll check to see what kind. A blaster is a blaster, but defender sets are wildly different. I recall a quote from back in the day. "Playing two different blaster sets is like the difference between playing racquetball and squash. Playing two different defender sets is like the difference between playing hockey and playing piano."

So, sort of like a Reverse Thunderdome.

I would guess it's 9999. I got above 8000 while the game was live so no need to worry with 905. And, yes, I'm talking about Reward Merits. I actually hit the Vanguard Merit cap at 9999.

A few. Many of the people from *IN*finity have gone to *IN*domitable due to the similarity in names. I made Ironblade over there as well but he's only level 15, while the Ironblade on Everlasting is..... vet level 8? 9?

I came across this back when the game was still active. I don't recall where I found it or who created it. TOGGLE MAN! I would like to tell you about a friend of mine. His name is Toggle Man, and he has come to town to show you how things are done. Toggle Man is a Spines/Dark Armor Scrapper. But not a wuss about it, like all those other Spines/Dark Armor Scrappers. He took Lunge, because he had to. And he took Quills, because it's a Toggle, and he's Toggle Man. But as far as he's concerned, you can take the rest of those powers to the DUMP where they BELONG. Oh, that's right. Toggle Man went there. He went there, came back, and brought you a T-Shirt. It says "I'm with Toggle Man, so you'd better Toggle On some RESPECT!" Toggle Man took seven of the nine powers in Dark Armor. Can you guess which ones? Toggle Man does not need to rez. Toggle man thinks self-heals are for little girls and communists. Toggle Man does not hurt. Toggle Man does not die. Toggle Man runs Toggles. Eight of them, so far. Nine. Sprint. Toggle Man is not such a connoisseur of toggles that he'd forget the granddaddy of 'em all. Toggle Man runs Sprint all the time. Because Toggle Man knows what's up. Toggle Man wishes he could run all four Veteran sprints too, at the same time. But we try not to remind him of it... Toggle Man dies a little inside every time he thinks about a Toggle he can't run... Don't cry for Toggle Man. He needs you to be strong. He needs you to Toggle On your Brave Face for him, ok? Ok. Toggle Man likes the Leadership Pool. But not Vengeance. Even though Toggle Man's weak and puny allies are constantly kissing the floorboards around him, Toggle Man will not lower himself to use a Click power on their greasy carcasses. Because he's Toggle Man, and his job is to run Toggles, in case you hadn't heard. Toggle Man likes the Leaping Pool. He likes it so much, he compromised and took Jump Kick! Mostly because Combat Jumping and Super Jumping wouldn't work together, and Toggle Man is unhappy when he has to choose between two toggles. Toggle Man took Acrobatics, because NOBODY pushes Toggle Man around. Are you looking at Toggle Man funny? I didn't think so. Punk. You'd best run home to your Mommy and Toggle On a pair of dry underpants. Oh, Snap! Toggle Man also likes the Speed pool. But not Hasten. Toggle Man's Toggles are always on, and that ain't changing. So who cares when they recover? Not Toggle Man, that's for sure! Toggle Man loves Super Speed and Whirlwind, and he runs them all the time. Sometimes Toggle Man's friends get frustrated, and say, "Toggle Man, could you stop super speeding around, knocking all the guys all over the place?" and Toggle Man, he says "Sure, as soon as you stop BREATHING!" Toggle Man is not gonna keep quiet while suckas be dissin' on his Toggles. Toggle Man likes Tough and Weave! Enough to take Boxing, even! Oh my gosh, Toggle Man has an "Attack Chain" now! But he doesn't use it, because he's not a wuss. He's Toggle Man, and his Toggles are good enough, thank you very much. Toggle Man likes Focused Accuracy. Take that, Stalkers! Toggle Man is watching! Toggle Man isn't going to take any crap from you! Toggle Man also took Conserve Power, which isn't a Toggle, but he sets it on auto and pretends that it is. Awwww yeeeaah. Toggle Man is all about conservation. Toggle Man wishes he could Toggle the Ozone Layer back on, but he can't. Because of the restraining order. Toggle Man loves Toggles so much, he didn't even take a power at 49, because he couldn't find any more Toggles. He is thinking about Confront, though, because he's sick of all these pansies seeing him coming and saying "Oh, crap! It's Toggle Man! We'd best run!" Well not any more, punk! Toggle Man is comin' to get'cha! Toggle Man goes through endurance 8 times faster than he recovers it. Toggle Man can only actually finish turning all his Toggles on before his blue bar empties out, if he turns on Rest first, and that makes Toggle Man uncomfortable even if Rest is a Toggle too. Toggle Man wants to know if he can mooch a couple blues? No? That's cool. Toggle Man doesn't trust inspirations anyway. Since they're not, you know, Toggles. What's up with that? Why all the inspirations got to be Clicks, yo? That is whack. Toggle Man. Coming soon to a Test Server near you.
