  1. Aggelakis started out as a character in an online text game I played years ago. I have since created Aggelakis in every game I've played, online, offline, single or multiplayer.

    If you see "Aggelakis" or "Agkelas" in any game, chances are pretty high that it's me!

    In the past the developers used the names in the page I linked to.
    ...not quite. Considering "Schedule XYZ" has (never?) been used in reference to recipe drop pools (only "Pool XYZ" or "XYZ Pool"), and is always used in reference to basic enhancement types, I gotta disagree with ya there, on both points.

    Graphics card

    You should be able to set most things on high. Might have to dial back world detail or physics quality, but you should be good to go.

    Note that with the upcoming graphics overhaul, you MIGHT be able to utilize Ultra Mode on minimum settings (which, from what I understand, is still a step up from our current graphics).

    Twilight Grasp has normal accuracy (75% vs critters, 50% vs players). If you're hitting with your other attacks with normal accuracy, you're hitting approximately the same amount with TG (RNG is fickle, of course). Since it requires a tohit check to go off, slotting accuracy or gathering +tohit (from powers, teammates, or set bonuses) is basically required if you're playing above 1x1.
  6. My favorite part of the game is 20 and under. It's why I have very few characters over level 25. ...and I have over 100 characters total.... :x
  7. Also, with NoScript, you can go into the menu and specifically block ("Mark www.sitename.com untrusted" in the Untrusted submenu) and that site will never again bother you with a popup/notification that it's there. I have forbade all of the typical adsites, fastclick, doubleclick, etc. etc. I never get notification that they are even in use on sites I visit.

    Additionally, to know if you're blocking something, the little "S" in the status bar of Firefox will have a circle-slash over it. If the "S" is half shaded, some of the scripts/connections are whitelisted, and some of the scripts/connections are blocked (for instance, deviantART is whitelisted for me, but quantserv is not, so I get a shaded "S"). If the "S" doesn't have a circle-slash, you're either viewing a whitelisted site with no extra connections, or you are viewing a whitelisted site with connections to whitelisted sites (for instance, these boards!).

    To be honest, I don't care. It's callous, but oh, well. Ad revenue has already gone down multiple times. Many sites have already gone under because they can't afford to exist. Such is the internet. Ads are abhorrent. I use AdBlock and NoScript. I install Firefox on any friend's/family's computer I use that doesn't have it, and I include AdBlock and NoScript with the installation. I tell everyone I know to use AdBlock and NoScript if they are already using Firefox.
  9. This is my princess/queen character:


    And for a closeup on the face:


    She will be wearing a bolero in lighter blue with gold trimmings in her second costume slot, in addition to what she's got now.

    I don't know what change you're referencing, but Ouro requires you to be the minimum level for the contact to talk to you in order to tag along on the arc. Ouro also requires you to be at the top level of the arc's level range, or higher, to start the arc.

I highly discourage any new player from playing on this server unless you have come from WoW, etc.
    Most of this is rubbish and so extremely biased to be laughable.

    You find these players on Freedom and all other servers. You find quality players on Freedom and all other servers.

    (Note: I have one character on Freedom, so this isn't spoken from someone getting defensive over their pet server. I have characters on ALL servers.)

    Infinity was once known as the unoffical PvP server. I don't know what the status is on that point. It is usually in the 4th or 5th slot. Pretty helpful community of players. Open to different play dynamics for the most part. I don't have a problem finding a team here even though its rank is below 3 population wise.
    Freedom is the unofficial PVP server. There has been a mass migration of the PVP crowd during free transfer time.

    Not wrong. In using them as extending time on an account (which is the context in which this thread exists), they work the same except the game card comes with a fly pack and the time card does not.

  14. "The Shadow knows..." would take on such a different meaning if it were only "Shadow knows..." Who the hell cares about Shadow? We're talking about The Shadow, here! In which case, "The" is more like a title or an honorrific than an article. Grammers be-damned!

    Uh... not The Tick. He is referred to, to his face, as The Tick repeatedly, often, and pretty much every time. We're talking about comic book characters, not real life people, so grammar often takes a backseat to "who the F cares, this is a comic book".




    OP: You can get around it by typing in
    TheName
    The.Name
    The-Name
    The'Name
    And various other sneaky ways around. Keep in mind that many people view this as less than stellar use of grammar, spelling, and creativity.

    No, it can't. Rest only takes TO/DO/SOs and generic IOs. Rest does not accept any IO sets.

  18. Yes, trial members can get into SG bases, provided the base allows teammates to enter, since they can't join supergroups.

    Visa/etc gift cards here in the States function exactly like regular credit cards, so you can use them as subscription sources as well as one-time purchases.

    In addition, I used gift cards to pay for City while I lived in Canada for the first 6mo of my City 'career'. I'm not sure why you are having trouble. I had a subscription on a reloadable Visa gift card I got through Citizens Bank.

    There are hundreds of threads on the forum. In this section alone, there were five new posts made since the last time I checked last night. I've posted in two, here, one thread in General Discussion twice, and when I hit submit on this post, that's five posts in just a few minutes' time spent on the boards.

    Almost all of my posts are answers here, answers in Tech Issues, or discussion here, Tech, or General. Answering questions here is an EASY way to bump your post count. There's ALWAYS new people to help, or old players with new questions.
  21. You can easily save and load different bind settings with /bindsavefile and /bindloadfile.

    Set up your stuff how you like for keyboard usage, and save them...
    /bindsavefile keyboard

    Set up your stuff how you like for controller usage, and save them...
    /bindsavefile controller

    Then you can switch between bind sets very easily by typing...
    /bindloadfile keyboard
    /bindloadfile controller
    ...depending on which one you want to use.

    Quick question

    In order: Not really. Probably not.

    No, it won't. It is a mag 2 protection, and players do not have any inherent protection. It will protect against mag 2 holds. It will not protect against anything higher than that.
