    Why would you be complaining about getting extra tickets?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I used to test software for a living (among other things). If it turned out to be a bug, I would have reported it and requested a corresponding reduction of my ticket count. If you don't understand that exploiting bugs is evil, then you're never going to be allowed to date my sister, you know....
  2. Ah, thanks. That makes sense. I was expecting Ticket rewards to be as miserly as Merit Rewards.
  3. I think I may have received too many tickets for playing my very first mission. I didn't check beforehand, but do players start out with any tickets or gain tickets from going through all of the tutorials, or gain extra tickets for getting some of the "first timer" badges?

    If it does turn out to be an error (or a designer Monty Haul situation) what should I do? I want to be ethical about it.
  4. Ken Nordine (of Word Jazz) could handle it. A thousand bing bangs....
  5. Ok, that means it's a design trend, then.
  6. That's a horrible design precedent, then.

    One With The Shield: It is has a base recharge of 6 minutes, is unaffected by recharge buffs and has a duration of 2 minutes

    Does "is unaffected by recharge buffs" mean that there is absolutely nothing the player can do to reduce the cycle time of the power below six minutes?

    So, you're saying we can't have these:

    Not without paying royalties. It would be worth it, though.

    Walk Button.

    To add walking into the game we're looking at anywhere from 15 to 75 animations. That would get us a single 'style' of walking for the male, female, and huge player models. Doubtful that we'd ever be able to create a single walk animation that would make everyone happy...

    Good point. I personally would lik a 'saunter' button

    [/ QUOTE ]
    The correct answer is "assign the resources needed to make it happen". Multiple walk styles. I15.

    It could even be done as a for pay booster pack, analogous to Prestige Sprints.
  10. I figured it out; I was embarrassingly betrayed by the fine print, as the IO I was trying to add was of the very same type as the one already slotted, and not a different one of the set.
  11. I just had an odd experience with Performance Shifter and Stamina. I had a lvl 21 Performance Shifter +Endurance Proc IO and two SO's slotted on a level 25 character. I wanted to replace one of the SO's with a lvl 27 or 28 Performance Shifter End Mod IO but the two SO'd slots were greyed out. The only thing I could do was replace the original P.S. IO with the new one (which defeats the purpose of trying to get a P.S. IO set). I'm within 3 levels for the difference between the character's level and the IO's level. Can I not slot the new IO because the previous P.S. IO is only level 21? What's the deal here?
  12. Could we have some advice about Scrapper slotting basics for pool attack powers? Should they be slotted in a manner consistent with whatever Primary you've picked, or are they distinctive enough to deserve their own type of slotting based on what they bring to the table?

    The real problem is that you cannot be strong and pretty and beat up a girl. Beating up girls is bad, and your strong and pretty deserted you.

    It's true. Silver Mantis taught me that very same lesson recently. Anyone got any spare cotton balls? I feel like I just had a full body massage from a rabid porcupine.
  14. Have you tested this redside? I'd expect that results would noticeably differ.
  15. One frequent problem I see with the newer guides is that a lot of them skip SO slotting advice, which would be what a lot of people have to rely on until they get rich enough to afford better.
  16. Does anyone have good old-fashioned SO slotting advice for AR/Dev?
  17. I just hope that the forum switch doesn't happen near the time of the release of I13.

    Purging old, unnecessary threads

    Ok, who decides what is "unnecessary"? What will be the guidelines for the pruning? I hope you keep a pristine backup so that you can fix deletions that turn out to be ill-advised.

    Any upgrade to a system that's 4 years old has to be good!...RIGHT?!?!?

    What makes you think they haven't updated the current forum software in four years?
  19. So, does this mean that there's never going to be a real WM/EA Brute guide? It seems like any attempt would be overrun with ridicule.
  20. In the four years this topic has been open, there have been many questions and calls for clarification noted here that have not been adequately addressed by a Red Name. Are they waiting for the thread's five year anniversary or something?

    I bought mine for both of my accounts and I can't even play. I got problems.

    Your loyalty, however, is beyond reproach.
