Let me know if you/he want to coalition with mine. It was small, pretty and
pretty much useless for a while, too. :)

Surprised nobody has mentioned the new booster packs available for the
games... 30 day temporary jetpacks and a whole new cyborg costume set.

I'm personally having a love/hate dispute on the whole thing. Love the
idea of having the cyborg costume, will probably end up buying it
eventually. But it follows a dangerous precedent that I was afraid
would develop following the wedding expansion pack. Used to get new
costume pieces and such for free in updates, or as bonuses in events or
mission arcs. Now we're getting nickle & dimed out of money when these
enhancements are made, when they could easily roll them into the next
issue release. It shows a dangerous trend towards greed that I hope
doesn't get worse - I mean, they are already getting our $15 a month,
why squeeze us for more?

And really, the jetpack booster add-on is a great idea, if the damn
thing wasn't temporary! Why would I pay another $5 a month just to have
the damn thing? And why can't we have the jet packs as a costume item
once we buy the booster? A few of my tech fliers I would LOVE to have a
jetpack on, instead of those big flapping monstrosities. Seems like a
near-miss idea to me.

COMBINED NOTES

Bases

a.. Corrected a rare case where Base rent became negative, and supergroups
would be unable to pay rent.

NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours after the build is published for rents to
be corrected.

Global Chat

a.. Corrected an issue where Tabs changed what channels they contain when
a character zones.

Powers

a.. Upped duration of taunt effects on Stone Control/Animate Stone from 1
second to 13.2 seconds.

Veteran Rewards

a.. 51 Month Veteran Badge will now correctly award the Pre-Order Blood
Widow Helm. Please note that this helmet is only compatible with female
models.

Ok, I know I'm probably behind the curve here with this one but I
figured I'd share in case it's helpful to anyone out there. I've been
working on my first stone tank and I love rooted but it's hell on
travel so it's more of a run into a mob/herd them then turn it on. So
I've been looking to find a bind that helps with the transition and I
after searching the group found a hover/fly bind and gave it a try and
it's been the best.

/bind h "powexec_name Rooted$$powexec_name Sprint"

So each time you hit "H" it toggles from rooted to sprint and then
when you hit it again it goes from sprint to rooted again.

For those who were following (or might have at one time), Derek Sweet has
pulled the plug on his erratic but often hilarious "City of Zeroes" web
comic.

section - at www.cityofzeroes.net.

Transcript. the Players in game were asking their Questions/Comments

[Broadcast] Mako Avalar1: I'm sure Devs have their own spot reserved,
or something

all the regular zone rules.

Zombie Apocalypse coming to City of Heroes

by Adrian Bott Aug 1st 2008 at 9:00AM

Filed under: Super-hero, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Events, in-
game
Yesterday, the City of Heroes test server was host to a terrible
event. In one city zone after another, both in Paragon and the Rogue
Isles, the dead rose to devour the living. The skies turned blood red,
and hordes of the undead clawed their way up from the ground in an
apocalypse not seen since the days of the Rikti invasions. Like the
Rikti, these horrors attacked anyone in an exposed space, and had no
level tag, meaning any character could engage them.

The Zombie Apocalypse is coming to CoX in Halloween, where it will
form part of the special event celebrations, along with the trick-or-
treating that has taken place in previous years.Yesterday's trial run
was a huge success, with players all over the city converging to hold
back the undead. Even the signature hero Positron, along with NCsoft
personnel Lighthouse and Niviene, pitched in to battle the hordes.
