    Unusual slotting

    My claws scrapper doesn't slot more accuracy than gets in accidentally when slotting for dam/end/rech. She gets plenty of acc from set bonuses (since she's slotted for maximum +rech, most +rech set bonuses come AFTER acc bonuses), and basically never exemplars so doesn't need to worry about losing those bonuses.

    She also has a Kismet +tohit and Focused Accuracy (though FA isn't always running).

    She didn't. That's what lead me to believe its maybe per-badge.
    I have never had Doc not be awarded to a villain who got the Bling badge, before or after 25. Did you attempt to talk to her? That should be the obvious next step.

    bind help

    No spaces in file folders. You'll have to find out what the "short form" of the folder is (e.g. "C:\PROGRA~1" instead of "C:\Program Files"), or rename the folder so there are no spaces in it.
  4. Global rule. If you have the badge at the appropriate level, the contact will open up. If you get the badge after the fact, you can do the content through Ouroboros.

    Mouse look

    Hold the middle button down and move your mouse around. Alternately, hold PageUp and move your mouse around.

    Either way, PageDown resets your view behind you.

    Born Date?

    Added my two cents to the appropriate thread down in Suggestions.
  7. Additional information can be housed in a popup that only shows up when you hover over the character's name-bar.

    I would love to have all kinds of data about my characters without having to log them in. Not particularly interested in "born date", but influence, powersets, day job, etc.

    <<<SCR>>>
  8. Gah. I can't believe how bad those looked. No wonder I messed excessively with custom CSS for the old boards. O.O
  9. /unbind sets the key to its original state. "/unbind f7" removes whatever's there currently (e.g. the broken code) and then puts in unbroken code.

    You're thinking "/bind <key> NOP", which sets the key to no bind.
  10. You're overthinking it. It's just a contest. Player X is auctioned; proceeds go partially to Player X, partially toward event holder for future contests. It's just for fun. Why do any benefits need to be laid out? Each player will post what they can do. The event holder can't say what the auctionees can do.
  11. The point? To "buy" someone's time who you would normally never hope to/think of playing with. Most of the time, players (e.g. a redname, a popular forum poster, etc) will allow themselves to be auctioned so that people who normally wouldn't get in their groups would be able to .. er .. get in their groups.

    The mods, Niv and Ocho, were auctioned off in the last one, IIRC (held by someone else?). They brought in multi-millions of inf. Ocho had to do some ridiculous-stipulation ITF, and he died a bajillion times IIRC.
  12. Two weeks left! We have very few early entries this month, unlike January and February. I wonder if this will turn into another "race for the deadline"
  13. It was a rant, not a question, so no loss. Something about Splasher being OK but changing the default loading/zoning image was undoubtedly going to be met with massive flaming and name-calling (which, um, doesn't Splasher do that, so why the rant?)

    What Red sed.
  15. Do you have any Greasemonkey scripts or custom CSS changes to the way the forums display? How many posts per page are you set to? Are you only seeing this in long threads, or only short threads, or varying lengths?
  16. I have several red/white/blue characters, with and without stars, with and without patriotic names. I have seen a bajillion of them in-game.

    Just don't call them Captain America, etc., and don't make their costumes like established comic heroes, and you're OK.

    No, he said TFs are soloable because people can quit/log out.

    edit: damn your quick fingers.
  18. Someone one-shotted Hamidon, but it was only through a bug that allowed infinite enhancements, IIRC.

    European Servers

    Incorrect, you need to purchase a retail code in order to begin playing on the EU side. Or failing that, a trial account; at the end of which, in order to keep playing, you need to purchase a retail code.

    The EU servers are accessed with an EU account; the NA servers are accessed with a NA account. These are separate, and each requires a retail serial code to continue playing past any trial time.

    Time card codes

    Duh. Totally forgot about starting this thread. Brains not work some good.

    I rangled the boyfriend into buying a game card (the thingy with the flight pack) on his way home from work today...crisis-- I mean, account lapse averted...thank you all very much for the offers!

    Time card codes

    I also did a quick search, as noted in the OP.

    The second one is an RMT site for sure, they are advertising influence on their home page. The first one I saw as well, but don't know if it's legit or not. I saw several others.
  23. Looking down plus space bar = horizontal flying while searching the streets.

    Time card codes

    That requires driving somewhere other than straight to work and straight home. *wrinkles nose* And before you mention online purchases, those take days to get here and his account expires in a day and a half, and I'd prefer not to have his playtime interrupted.

    I have seen posts here about people buying time codes before, I just can't seem to find the right variables for search to bring up any site names.

    Worst comes to worst, I can buy some physical cards from Amazon.com but I'd rather do online.
