I guess April Fools was a test run? Anyway, YAY!

I only recently tried out Street Justice with Shield Defense and was surprised/disappointed to see that there were clipping issues with the Shield and my character's hand...

Fortunately, I had already decided that the character would have a different combo (Street Justice/Ninja Reflexes), but I was a bit shocked that the problem was so prevalent.

It seems as though it stems from some of the Street Justice animations and/or it just puts your character into a normal combat stances afterwards, instead of the shield-user stance (I'm honestly not sure).

My character was constantly bobbing around with his fist through his own shield.

Are there other powersets that cause this with Shield Defense?

Honestly, it was bad enough to prevent me from enjoying that (otherwise cool) combo. I'd love to see that get fixed!

I didn't want to sound like I'm ranting about it... but I wanted to mention it. And I was curious if it is just a bug or an unavoidable happenstance of Street Justice's two-hand combos and such.

Both are great sets and I'm surprised that the usual standard of quality is not there for those two sets combined.

Just a quick Q:

Does the STONE MASTERY pool for the Controller require me to be on the ground for things like Fissure and Hurl Boulder?

Sorry if it is an obvious answer, I have been looking for the past hour or so and NOTHING!

Thanks!

Is it me or is this set lackluster in the damage department?

fingers in food! lol

So here I am, hanging out in limbo, waiting for CS to answer a question before I re-subscribe.

Here's the story...

1. Nov. 14, I re-subbed for 6 months.
2. Nov. 28, I signed up for the 6 +1 holiday special. I was notified that it would go into effect on May 14. cool.
3. Fast forward to Monday... May 14. I'm thinking all morning, "there's something I need to do." Then I remember that since our little road trip for the Player Summit put a sizable dent in my ccard, I need to make a payment to it. So I do this at about 12:30-ish, and go along my merry way.
4. 'Round about 4-ish, I finally get around to checking my e-mail for the day. Imagine my surprise when I see a notice saying my account had expired. I think it's a mistake, because when I made my ccard payment, I requested my available balance, and I know there is enough to cover the subscription.
5. Just to cover my bases, I check my NCSoft account. And I discover that my ccard info is missing! This is a card that has been attached to my account for nearly 5 years.
6. So I send in a ticket. In it, I mention that a) I don't know what happened to my ccard info on my account, b) I don't know why my account has been expired, c) what happens to the 6+1 special I signed up for?
7. Now, it took a little repetitious back and forth, but I came to the conclusion that NCSoft apparently tried to process the subscription charge a mere 20-30 minutes before I made my ccard payment. So it simply came down to a matter of timing. I can certainly re-subscribe, but there remains the last question...
8. Will I get the 6+1 special that I signed up for in November?

Apparently, CS does not want to answer that last question, as they have not responded to the last two e-mails I sent (within the last 24+ hours).


So... who do I call?
I checked the NCSoft Support pages, and the phone option does not seem to be in evidence. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot, but I seriously could not find an 800 number or anything along those lines.
Does anyone know what's up with that?

Inspired by today's broadcast.

Just curious to find out what everyone's thoughts are on:

1. What's the final word on the gravity tweaks? Were they enough to improve the set's performance versus other controls? Are you satisfied with the changes to Dim Shift, WH, propel and sing?
   
2. What's the final word on dark control? Was it worth the wait? Is it the special thing mentioned by devs or so many months ago? How does it rank versus the other control sets?
   
3. What's the final word on dark assault? Was it worth the wait? Is it unique/special enough to justify why it wasn't created a long time ago? How does it rank versus the other assault set?
   
4. What's your take on the latest announced and rumored power sets? Are you okay with no new control or assault sets anywhere on the horizon? Are you okay with Radiation Defense 'beating out' Air Control at the Pummit?
   
5. How is dominator population these days? Has it increased, decreased, remained unchanged?
   
6. How are dominators handling new content and iTrials? Better, the same, or worse than other ATs?
   
7. What's the status of illusion control proliferation? Will it be proliferated? When? Will it need changing?
   
8. What other sets are in need of 'tweaking'?
   
9. What other sets would you like to see created?

I have recently returned to COH and i see people asking for and trying to form a dfb what is this? thanks in advance.

i asked a couple folks ingame after they posted a lf more in help or such but got no repsonse.

@propbob is a good friend of mine, so I drew his character Shandian with my pens and then colored her with Photoshop.

I don't know if anyone has discussed this in a while, but I feel like with Freedom and the easy levels provided by certain in game tasks (DFB), it's time that we altered the name reservation system again.

To the best of my knowledge, our current name reservation system dates back to 2007. Any name held by a character over level five seems to basically be eternally reserved. With tasks such as DFB, it isn't that hard for players to level a character past twenty.

I have no idea if this is even possible, but I think we should have a tiered system for name reservation based on account activity. For example, if your account has been inactive for 90 days, the names of your characters up to level ten are up for grabs. If your account has been inactive for 180 days, then the names of characters up to level twenty-five are up for grabs. If your account has been inactive for over a year, then the names of all of your characters are up for grabs.

Since the game is now F2P, it's easy enough to log in at your leisure to make sure you keep your names. However, we have names locked away by people who haven't even played in multiple years. What are your thoughts on this?

I kinda am bad at typing it would be helpful to have a red lines spell check in bios and chat so I know if I made a mistake. What do you guys think?

I have had a Few issues with spelling. It's a Common mistake now a days? Right?
Maybe you could add a spell check to chat and bios? One without auto-correct. Thanks.
:D

I'm working on a build for my Titan/WP scrapper. I'm limited in that the build must contain Super Speed and Spring Attack.

With those limits in mind, how would you rate the following build?

So I think the temp travel powers are a bit lack luster at the moment.

We have a couple of variations of jetpack, and 1 single super jump powers which we can only get once. There are also bits and bobs from the arena.

So, my suggestion is that we change the temp travel powers..

The temp travel powers from the Mayhem Missions and Safeguard missions can now drop an infinate number of times, but they don't stack, only replace.

The jetpack recipie is replaced by travelpack recipie, which can be used to make a jetpack or a jump pack.

Increase the time on both to 2 hours, from 30 minutes.

Move the jetpack seller from Shadow Shard to the Hollows or add one to the Hollows. The Shadow Shard is a very inconvient place to go.

Teleport Powers. We have one for the arena at the moment, but it would be nice to have one for outside the arena. How about a toggle that grants a new teleport powers and lasts for 2 hours. When all time on the toggle is gone, it goes and you can no longer teleport.

Add a possible afterburner like power to jetpacks. It makes you only effect self, grants you a big speed boost and turning. But no defence, so it is only really good for getting around.
