  • Ok, I get that, pretty obvious, like having a sword that lengthens poison on a target but you need a skill to apply poison to make it work. However it seems like other games have less than obvious "bad builds" such as the time I put an energy buff on a monk and everyone jumped down my throat about it. I am just saying, the…
  • Since I use Linux OS, I know exactly where mine is installed. After all I put it there LOL :D If the player is using the Arc launcher does this some how confound the issue. I don't need Arc or Steam and just use executable found in; /media/Drive C/Cryptic Studios/Champions Online/Live It has been my opinion that these game…
  • I don't use the Blender or other 3D programs that much either, I seldom have the time. Also since my OS is not using DirectX, capturing it would never work for me. However I did manage to figure out the reprogram for the camera from demo playback. Still a "messy job" but a lot easier than learning an entire 3D editing…
  • You asked, "Is there a shared character chest?". There are shared bank slots available for purchase (zen), but you can share items with your characters in CO using the mail system. Just go to one of those computer terminals marked "Until" and use the mail to send items to your own @handle name. You can send up to 5 items…
  • I gave this a shot last night. I plan to do more this weekend, but you can get some good actions shots using an external screen capture program. I am still learning how to use the camera paths but so far you can hit [F2] to unlock the camera and using RMB along with WASD keys fly about within the paused scene. Then…
  • Personally I delete and recreate characters quite often in all the MMOs I play. I guess I never get so attached to my character. When playing in Guild Wars, I created Simon of Aragon and beat all 3 campaigns with him over the course of a year. I tossed all his stuff in my shared character chest and deleted him and created…
  • + for healer gear for support skull for hybrid ... that or a blender lol :D See you next weekend people. Until then have fun!!
  • I don't know about the particular devices, but I purchase them from the Until vendor in the Recognition building. Each (summon device) costs 5 points and has 3 uses, so you probably just moved them on your utility area CTRL+1 to CTRL+5. They cannot be "used" from inventory. Also I equip them and use them on boss fights,…
  • That is why I said "The "cross icon" on the portrait is the usually the healer. " not always. Also the "freeform" can be anything. As some players know, the wiki covers the archetypes pretty well. I suppose one just needs to apply themselves to the materials at hand. The Grimoire has a gear as an icon which means hybrid.…
  • I got this reply from a friend who does the 3D screen shots. Also thanks @nextnametaken for the information about demo captures. I will have to try that in the near future. EDIT: Update Wendy explained this to me on the phone and I gave it a try. To make a new position she said, you capture images from different angles and…
  • Sorry about that, when I said "I called" I meant I pick up my cellphone and called him. "HEY! Josh get online I need help... What do you mean sleeping? Get online now, you don't need sleep." My friends just love me... at 3 AM. That element exists in all online games. I tend to believe they are a minority of the real…
  • I agree that no matter what you do, the old proverb; "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." applies here. Even IF you could convince a developer to add more tutorials, etc. it is still up to players to seek help and others to help them find the answers. I am always willing to assist, but as I only…
  • I think most of you are giving this whole tutorial idea too much thought. I was less than level 10 and did that jungle adventure in the Until building (the one where you defeat a giant snake boss). I think it was at the end of generator alpha where I ran into some trouble getting one shotted. So I called up my bud across…
  • There is a woman I know, who dabbles in GIMP and uses it to get poses on her Neverwinter characters that are otherwise impossible. I will ask her for an example or a tutorial this weekend. Another possibility (albeit a harder solution) is to dump your 3D model into program such as Poesr, Daz 3D, or Blender and render your…
  • I am not at level 40 but got a pretty good grasp on how the system works. It isn't that difficult to understand and anyone who goes through the tutorial pretty much knows the ropes or they should. Anything else could be found in several YouTube videos. I really get a kick out of how many players talk about "end game…
  • Oh so true, but you got to love having monks running about with axes! :D I have my main who is an axe wielding warrior with his heroes like Dunkoro brandishing an axe as well. Last time I was online they too have low population numbers like Champions. I play the sequel but this isn't the place to talk about "other" MMOs…
  • @roughbearmattach and @championshewolf Yep. I was beginning to get that too. The only reason you feel it in "Guild Wars" is because you level cap at 20 and your max hit points (with a tanked out warrior) is roughly around 980. Average level 20's in that game run about 550 hit points. I like running with this game and…
  • @reiwulf Hello my friend, good to see you are active in the only Cryptic game this guy can still play. ;) Someone online tonight was biotching about the color palette and wants a color wheel. I guess they want to make naked people? ? ? I don't have an issue about colors, but here is my short solution to any player who has…
  • Ok thanks players, no stars means no healing or damage bonus. I will take a look next time I play. I was just online playing and leveled up my characters. I am going to watch Netflix and maybe log back in later tonight, if not I will do it tomorrow. Edit and update: I fixed that poorly worded wiki article, it now reads…
  • The kids (teens mostly) play it at my clinic. I hop online once in a great while. It keeps the client's children entertained while the parents are being looked after.
