    For $9.99, your account is set have all Veteran rewards and badges, as well as all past time-limited log-in badges. Throw in Slide and the rest of the goodies from the Heroic and Villainous Collector Editions.
  2. 1. They're Trials, not Raids.

    2. No, not just semantics. They're not Raids. They're just like the Trials and TFs already in the game. What makes it a Trial is basically a timer on some sections.

    3. In PuGs, you usually wind up with the minimum number, which, for one Trial is the size of a team, and for the other, a team and a half. Not exactly the model of huge raids of other MMOs.

    4. You can avoid the PuG by putting together your own League to enter the Trials.


    So, in conclusion, see #1.
  3. System channels, of which broadcast and league are examples of, aren't color customizable. Only player-created channels are.

  5. Most mouse problems get solved by deleting the manufacturer's driver and letting Windows install it's own driver.

    If that causes a performance issue (smooth scrolling, e.g.), there may be a setting in the Windows' driver that fixes it.
  6. Zombie Man

    Dr Who 23/04/11

    River worries that when she finally meets the Doctor when he doesn't recognize her, she'll die.

    And she did.
  7. Getting 'permission' or 'authorization' for a parody performance is a nicety, not a legal requirement.

    Parody is protected First Amendment speech which the Supreme Court has protected over and over again.

    Performing someone else's musical work doesn't require permission. You just do it and send the author a mechanical reprint fee (last I checked it was 8 cents a copy). Of course, if you get permission, the author can waive the fee, which is the best reason to get 'authorization' in the first place.

    Putting it up on YouTube is what's illegal without permission. Who's going to pay the 8 cents mechanical license fee each time it is viewed?

    1. Since I18.

    2. Temp Fly powers do not cap you out at level 50. See here. You're 3.3 mph short of the cap. Swift gets you half way there. IO Bonuses might get you all the way there. Using GvE JumpPack will always make a Temp Fly, inlcuding Hover, go to flyspeed cap.

    3. But it definitely is true that unenhanced Fly surpasses the flyspeed cap at level 50.
  9. Did anyone test creating a new Toon on Test? When it was patched with Beta a while ago it inherited the zero-to-fifty script. I don't know if that's turned off or not.

    If you make a new Toon and it doesn't become 50 upon zoning into the City, then the script is gone and Test currently has no auto-leveling.
  10. It's buff icon will still appear under your health bar when you're 50, but, IT'S A LIE!

    Real numbers show the buffs aren't buffing anymore. It's useless to a 50 except to trade it in for a Notice.

  12. Patch Notes on Test says that they fixed this so it stops randomly showing up on player's screens.
  13. NO!

    Giving 5th Gladiators to everyone will upset the delicate balance of power in the Gladiator leagues!!!!!!!!!
  14. To spite the Villains the Devs hate.

    But since the Devs have turned Vigilante, they don't care about the collateral damage to heroes.
  15. Lots of Easter Eggs, most noted in the YouTube comments:

    • Loki is the dog's name on his dish.
    • The doll is Teutonic and there's a Thor figurine in the background.
    • License plate is leet for Asgard.
    • Stark Industries coffee mug.
    • Iron Man air freshener by gearshift handle
    • The M on the girl's bedroom's desk may be for Marvel
    • The film crew makes an unintended appearance in the reflection on the car
  16. Read the Patch Notes on Test. I think it's fixed.
  17. Thank-you for your response and time.

    Q1: If #2 is true and is the case, then how could #1 be possible?

    Q2: Is this the same algorithm for Praetorian Events?
  18. There are places on the outside of the courtyard (from the street side) that offers perches on which to jump up.

This issue is starting to cause contention on trial teams in a big way as more and more people need the rare and very rare drops to complete their powers.
    News expected sometime today about fixes coming... soon.
