    Imagine this: You're a stalker doing a mission in a Circle of Thorns cave. You have seven people in your group, with three of them being masterminds. Now, each of the masterminds has six pets out, meaning that you have to navigate over twenty people to try to get to the enemies, and by the time you get to most of them they're dead.
    Now, imagine that being a true story that happened to me the day before yesterday, and you understand why I want collision detection either removed for pets or gotten rid of completely.
    Mastermind Pets are pushable.

    Mid's Question

    You don't get Ninja Run until level 4, did you put in a couple power selections?

    Yes, but they're only usable in Arena fights.

    I especially like the mysterious "???" objectives that appear and then vanish at different points.

    Polling Idea

  9. Yes, as long as you don't have a CoV CE code on your account, you can apply a CoV CE code to your account. Same with all the other codes. You get all the goodies, including the free month. For example, I have put all of the retail codes on my account except for CoV CE, and gotten the goodies for all of them, including a bunch of free months!

    The only weird one is if you put a CoV CE code on your account and then attempt to put a generic CoV-only code, you can't. But you can do generic CoV-only and then CoV CE just fine.
  10. Attemping to send items to a non-global name (or even a global name without an @ symbol) puts up an error, so that's not what happened.

    It was likely sent during the time when global server was down; sending or claiming emails during that period is like throwing stuff into a black hole and waving byebye. The GMs should(?) be able to track the attempt of sending items/inf, though.

    The hero versions (Stouthearted and Force of Justice) are 'dead accolades' - they do not grant any accolade power.

    Did you totally miss that they said there's no timeframe for it, in which case where are you pulling Issue 20 or 21 from?
  13. Veteran Powers do not benefit from +damage. They do benefit from +tohit and +recharge and most everything else.

    None of the booster powers benefit from anything other than +tohit.

    Temporary powers are different per power, but MOST of them benefit from +everything.

    It will say in the Detailed Information whether a power "ignores enhancements and buffs", meaning that part of the power does NOT benefit from +whatever. The recharge portion, unfortunately, does not note whether it is affected or not; you just kinda have to stopwatch that.

    Not really. Remove Broadcast from chat window and avoid Pocket D, and you're pretty much golden, no matter what server you're on.
  15. All chainlink fences in game have points at which you can simply push through them. It takes a moderate amount of persistance and/or luck. I've done it a few times (including twice into the monkey cage in Pocket D).
  16. As you can see, "all of them" kind of sums it up.

    cursor issue

    Compatible cursors is now an option in Advanced Graphics options. You don't have to muck with that shortcut crap if you don't understand it. It's about one-third the way down advanced graphics options, default is "Color"... I forget what the other option is called. Performance? Something.

    They stopped working long before AE came around, so that never factored in.
  19. I agree that Elec Melee rocks, but I am a bit befuddled on how that screenie shows why... I mean, there is a complete lack of Lightning Rod!

    The Med Kit and the Med Pack are two separate powers. The Med Pack is listed under Invention Powers, since they're invention recipes. Med Kit is a mission-granted power, thus nothing to do with this thread.

    Of course, this also does not specify interruptible or not, but the other heal powers with such long activation times (Aid Other/Aid Self) are interruptible.

They play emotes just fine, too.

    Just a quick off-topic mention, that's all.
    Their stance has nothing to do with it; their model is still humanoid.

    The demons do not use the humanoid model.

    Merging servers.

    Two different numbers are used because we are discussing two different things - the first being the experience I had, and the second being what he is claiming he can do.

    I really cannot figure out where you think there is a disconnect.
    I logged on to Justice last night. It was approximately 10pm Pacific time, so that puts it at 1am Eastern. Justice was fourth in load (approx. equiv. to population), so somewhat low body count.

    I was almost instantly invited to a duo, which ballooned to a team of five within 15 minutes.

    How did this happen? I /friend characters if I like them. I /gfriend people if we REALLY enjoy playing together. I have a global list of around ...35? people at the moment. Most of my characters have 1-5 more people that are only on the character friend list (meaning I'll probably eventually global friend them, but I'd like more interaction first).

    Additionally, I am a part of two cross-server global channels, one of which is NEVER empty. I am also a part of several global channels that are server specific (like Justice For All/JFA, VirtueUnited, etc.), and most of these are also never empty.

    Additionally, I invite my teammates to suggest their friends to join. Typically, this ends up with me /friending them (or sometimes even /gfriending them), which expands my list of folks to poke.

    I *never* set an LFT flag (unless it is to set it to red). In fact, almost all of my characters utilize /hidesearch to be removed from search lists. I *never* broadcast LFT.

    If I want on a team, I can be on a team within half an hour at most. Any server. Any time.

    This is the power of friends/global friends/global channels. You should try it some time.

    They use the "Red Caps" model (knuckles forward), not the human/humanoid model that all the other MM pets use.
