    Hey, forum name bwdares. I bet this just made your day, huh?
    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

    You know, I think we need more Half-Helmets as is. Not enough, I say! Bring on more Helmets!

    Bug: Auras return to general inventory and not aura bag when changing to a build that doesn't have a particular aura equipped.

    Also, any way you guys can get that steam-punk jetpack or Holiday Grab Bag to be a Clarence drop?

    Hope you guys add a water based power set or nature type to control animal or plant life, maybe a power that allows you to duplicate yourself kinda like gemini to confuse enemies an do half dmg of your original self and for each duplicant just lower he atk power more to even it out, perhaps a skeleton body parts to go with the skeleton no neck and skeleton hands for those wh want to make a living skeleton toon (Like Me). Just a few ideas i thought I suggest. Overall a fantastic game, keep up the awesome work.

    First off: Comment doesn't really belong here, just sayin'.

    Secondly: Trust me, people (like myself) have been saying those things for a while now >.>

    Truthfully I'd rather see a Sonic Powerset (sonic damage, but no Powerset that uses it primarily? Outrageous!) but that's just me.
    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

    I remember there was someone who was just desperately asking for the facial hair to be added to half helms. I hope this makes their day.

    I have been asking for that for 4 years. I even made it on two ask cryptics, each time they said it was a good idea and that they would look into doing it. The day is finally here, not I kind'a want to take a half day. lol

    ...crap, what am I going to change my sig to now?

    So does this mean we can purchase/unpurchase Legacy Auras to try them out while in the Powerhouses, or are those purchases still permanent?

    Since you can preview the Auras with vendor rotating them, i doubt it.

    So my launcher has tried to DL and apply the 12/12/13 patch about 25 times now...when I had the ARC launcher open, it said there was a file locked and not open for for writing and restarted. Now I'm trying the standalone launcher...same message. I am logged into my admin profile and have never locked any files in my system.

    Any thoughts on a fix?

    It's kinda all over the place right now. Will be getting back to it soon since it's one of the only two sub-40 characters I have left at the moment.

    Launch directly from the application or command line.

    or

    Start with a making a folder called "Hidden" in the Champions Online Live directory, the first thing to hide is local data folder, Gameprefs.pref.
    Launch.
    If you still get the message, hide Dynamic.hogg in the piggs folder.
    Launch.
    If that don't work, start hiding whole folders so the game has to download and install all new stuff. Something will work.

    So i went away for 1 hour and once I went back the Launcer keeps CRUSHING!
    The Launcher keeps crushing and giving me Error Report which wouldn't allow me to fill!

    The Buttons are marked as Corrupted Pictures as well
    it gave me an Error to load the page as well (...?)
    Using Steam here

    it crashed 6 Times! Now I can play the game


    Well that was Weird

    Edit: OOOOOH i get it, It was a Stealth Patch for the Victorian Set which did this

    This is a great change:
    Items:

    The temporary versions of Become Frank, Ghost, Mummy, Snowman, Gingerbread Man, and Toy Soldier have been reduced to "green" quality.

    Although it's not the only type of thing which needs to be reduced to green or yellow rarity: common alert costume drops such as the GRAB stuff or Samurai costume parts, and the "box of power armor components".


    More importantly though, this just goes to highlight why the Auction House's GUI is so terrible and in dire need of making it more streamlined and search-focused. For example in order to search for keys you have to explain to newbies that they must:
    • Menu list on the left needs to be set to "all"
    • Rarity color needs to be set to "any"
    • Clear out both level fields (which reset and you have to re-clear everytime you re-open the Auction House GUI window)
    • Type "key" in the text field.



    PS: Overdrive and Aspect of the Bestial still need bug fixing too...
    Do you have several level 40s?
    Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
    Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
    Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
    Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
