As far as layout, the page looks a little wonky now. The color bars are too darn big, take up too much of the page, and are too much "in your face". I'd recommend you shrink the width of the color table and it's cells, add words for each color at the far left with color backgrounds (or colored words with black background -- not sure which would look better), then put the conning screen shot images next, then description (get the color out of the description -- too much color!). In addition, I'd reverse the order of the con colors in the table so that AVs are on top and underlings at the bottom. It fits better with the notion that AVs are at the top of the heap and are "higher" rather than lower in power level. I know what I suggest is not exactly like the official descrption in the COH manual, but this isn't a NcSoft or Cryptic web site, and technically to do it like them is a copyright infringement. Also I miss the old descrption of the con colors. They weren't the "official" descption, but they were more or less accurate and funny to boot. Can you add those back, and also keep the official description as well? I don't recall what the old desriptions were (although I remember purple being "Mommy!" and white being "Should be a mediocre fight"). :(  --[[User:Blackspectre|Blackspectre]]

:Notes on the Color Chart(s):
:*I'd never actually noticed the differentiation between the two shades of gray before.  Went specifically looking for examples tonight and now that I'm aware there is a difference, it's easy for me to see it.  Updated my tables in the manual to reflect this.  Since I updated it there and it's been copied here, I updated it here as well.
:*Now that there are two gray lines, we'll definitely need differentiating text. (Source of all the text I currently have in there is the CoH manual, BTW.  The manual only shows one shade of gray.  Perfect example of why I want an online version of the manual that we can correct where it's wrong or out of date.)
:*Whatever direction we go in, I would recommend excluding numbers from the Color Chart and leaving those for the Rank Chart. --[[User:Eabrace|Eabrace]] 03:09, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

== Duplicate Conning Chart ==
Someone added a duplicate conning reference chart. Uh... kinda overkill really. We don't need 2. Delete one. Also, I'd recommend you put the conning reference chart at the bottom of the page because it combines both rank and level. It's a little out of sequence to put it before the idea of rank is introduced, and is likely to confuse people, IMHO. Also the colors in the big reference chart should be brightened up and in bold so you can see the colors better. Compare with my chart at the bottom. --[[User:Blackspectre|Blackspectre]]

== EB Con Rank Bug? ==
I have sent a PM to _Castle_ for confirmation that the fact that Elite Bosses con as +2, the same as regular bosses, is a bug. It makes sense that it is, after all Elite Bosses are more powerful than regular bosses and less powerful than AVs. However, in a previous discussion with _Castle_, he was under the impression that EBs con as +5, the same as AVs. IMO, EBs _should_ con as either +3 or +4, but which one do we use? One of the charts uses the notion that EBs are supposed to con as +3. How does the author know this? Where's the documention that proves EBs are supposed to con +3? Until confirmation is offered, I think we should just leave EBs as they currently con, i.e., +2 (since there's so much conflicting information out there about this). A note could be added that it makes more sense for them to con as +3 or +4, and the current con color may be a bug. And besides, I doubt the conning system will get any luv from the devs anytime soon, if ever. Might be best just to show it as is is. --[[User:Blackspectre|Blackspectre]]
: Aye, been showing it as is, noting where one would think it would be different (like EB's being tougher and should con higher). --[[User:Konoko|Konoko]] 16:03, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

::For Malta Auto Turrets, unlike the Blaster version, if I remember correctly, the turret popped out by the Operation Engineer spawns +1 level to the owner.  So if you fight a level 50 Operation Engineer, the turret he pops out in less than a second spawns as a level 51.  God knows what happens if you ever fight a level 54 Operation Engineer.  :D  [[User:Sera404|Sera404]] 18:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Con Color Standard

need con color standard in this article --(someone forgot to sign here)shush, I was busy, there wasn't really any content in that statement anyways --Konoko 14:42, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

Agreed. Smilies wink.gif I think if we could get the hex codes defined for the font colors used in the Target Window, that would be a good way to go. --Eabrace 14:12, 8 August 2007 (EDT)
Up the windowscale to 1.9 (190%) and take the screenshot again. Use /screenshottga for higher quality. I won't have time until this weekend to do this, and i'm known to forget. --Konoko 14:42, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

/windowscale target 2
/screenshottga

I'll give that a shot when I get home tonight. (In other words, I'll be obsessing over that for a few hours tonight.) --Eabrace 16:14, 8 August 2007 (EDT)
OK, here's what I came up with:
  • Dark Gray - #989898
  • Light Gray - #BDBDBD
  • Green - #74DA74
  • Blue - #0E85EB
  • White - #FFFFFF
  • Yellow - #FFFF13
  • Orange - #FF9854
  • Red - #FF0E0E
  • Purple - #FF0CFF
Plugging those numbers in.
(Random note: Light gray makes me think of Buck Rogers.)

Those Notes on General Conning Errors

Critters spawned from Rikti Portals often have a con +1 that of normal. - That's been that way as long as I can remember. The Communications Officer (Minion) spawns a Portal (Object - equal to Lieutenant) and the Portal then spawns Minions that are evenly matched not to its level, but to its Con rating, making them +1 to the Communication Officer.

Malta Auto Turrets con as Lieutenants, even though the Operation Engineer that put it there is a Minion. - Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is true for almost all Pets, isn't it? When DE spawn Emanators (Pets) they Con equal to the Lieutenants that spawned them, don't they? When Tuatha or Legacy Chain summon Animate Stone it cons the same as a Lieutenant with the same level as the summoner, doesn't it?

. . . and a Viscious Rikti Monkey (underling) will con blue (-1 level for rank). - Actually, they're technically conning as "Small" right now. This apparently ranks them equal to Lieutenants.

OK, ignore that part about the Rikti portals. Finally got a good look at it myself. Yellow Comm Officer summoned a red Portal that spawned Orange minions. The Portal appears to be off by one. --Eabrace 00:41, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
For Malta Auto Turrets, unlike the Blaster version, if I remember correctly, the turret popped out by the Operation Engineer spawns +1 level to the owner. So if you fight a level 50 Operation Engineer, the turret he pops out in less than a second spawns as a level 51. God knows what happens if you ever fight a level 54 Operation Engineer. :D Sera404 18:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Hrm, my mistake, it seems. Disregard what I said, they just spawn as same-level Lieutenants now. Sera404 08:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
