    Merging servers.

    Perverts have nothing to do with server merges, so when can we lock this thread already? *lights the mod signal*
  2. It was definitely AFTER Issue 6, because they still functioned when I started playing, which was the December after Issue 6/CoV dropped.
  3. That's not what you said. You said "ED makes resist not go [about] (above?) X value for a power". That's not what ED does.

    ED has nothing to do with the resistance cap, which is a separate mechanic. ED makes resistance percentages decrease as the total percentage gets higher, just like all other enhancement percentages. ED affects all characters the same. The resistance cap makes it so that an archetype cannot get over X amount of resistance to a particular damage type, where X differs depending on archetype.

    You say that like the age of the game matters at all.
  6. Look in Combat Attributes if you want to verify your set bonuses are functioning. On your power tray, click "Power" then click "Combat Attributes". Recharge bonuses are listed under "Base".

    The enhancements screen and the Detailed Info window do not utilize set bonuses, only enhancement values (e.g. a "recharge enhancement", not a "recharge set bonus").

    The wiki doesn't have the Mids file at all, anywhere. So I'm not sure what you're talking about.

    The wiki is at: paragonwiki.com / wiki.cohtitan.com
    Mids is at: cohplanner.com (linked from cohtitan.com <-- The Titan Network)

    This is what the new enhancements screen looks like on a small resolution, at a not-widescreen aspect ratio. In this, I resized my window to 1024x768, which is a 4:3 aspect ratio. It looks beautiful! Actually, it looks much the same as it used to look.


    This is what the new enhancements screen looks like on a high resolution (1920x1080), at 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. It looks beautiful! The icons are round, the blue "title" bar isn't misshapen... the only weird things are the size of the 'enhancement level' text (apparently not a bug, but certainly doesn't look right) and that due to there being so much more room on a widescreen monitor, there is extra space at the end.

  10. The green mitos are bugged, they can be held but their heal aura is coded to be like 10000 seconds long or something. Castle explained it at one point, but I'm too lazy to search.

    Vet Rewards

    I love how Eiko's like "blahhghghhhh 60 month vets can skip a power and still be travel-power fast!"

    I have 48 months of veteran time, so I don't have City Traveler. Most of my characters don't take travel powers, and still end up either the first one at the door, or close to it. It's a perk of having played the game for 48 months; I know where all the shortcuts are.

    I can skip *TWO POWERS* and still be travel-power fast! *gasp*
  12. Yeah, it's just a display error (that the game responds to). You actually have your prestige, the game just needs to be ... nudged gently.

    Throwing your wireless mouse aggressively at the hardwood floor is not recommended. *eyeballs global channel friend*

    3 gig patch

    Uhhh, 3.1GB is the size of the game at the moment. That's not the size of the recent patch. Are you sure you're DOWNLOADING? Are you mistaking "APPLYING" or "FIXING" or something else entirely?

    You can have 20 global emails in your mailbox at a time. You can apparently only send a total of 150 emails per 24 hours.

    PS, the Paragon Wiki does not host Mids.

    Mids is hosted by the Titan Network. Paragon Wiki is part of the Titan Network, it is not the name of the network.

    With I17, I found out the hard way that you don't.
    Rumors should never be believed unless they are backed up with link to a redname post.

    NOT correct. If you haven't applied an AE box code, you can apply an AE box code. You can then apply one of any other box codes available as well. I have City of Heroes, City of Heroes Collector's Edition, City of Villains, Good Versus Evil, Mac Edition, Architect Edition... Am I brain farting on a box set other than villains Collector's? Anyway, I have all of those applied to my account, and I got the free month from each of them.

    I can't add a second one of any of those codes, which was the point being made.

    Any further ideas, or is Mids still having a hard time with all the trouble atm?

    Please post in the Mids forum with Mids issues, as they do not monitor the tech issues forum since Mids is not an official application.

  20. When Power Surge drops, it summons a PBAoE EM Pulse, which is a hold.

    Windows XP 64bit? Cos that's the (x86) thing.

    Additionally, you'll note that I did say "mostly", not "only".

    Players could share files between themselves if they wanted friends to hear what their Energy Bolt sounds like at 3X speed with full bass or what have you.

  23. I think the sewer "invisible music boxes" are also changed, as I play with music off and I no longer hear that in sewer maps.

    I don't know if I'd classify the Mission Complete "fanfare" as "music", but everything else is brilliant. I will miss the audio for Mission Complete, but I'd rather it be gone than to turn on everything else just to hear it again.
