    Beam Rifle was never announced as part of Issue 21.

    Power sets that come as part of an Issue are free-to-VIP, like I said.

That's why his namesake has that on his chest when you train with him in Peregrine Island.
    Castling is what you do with a rook, not a name for the rook. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castling
  3. Power sets that come with issues will be free-for-VIP, and power sets that are released between issues will be paid-for-all.
  4. My first impression of Staff Fighting:

    HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE !!!!

    You'd be VERY hard-pressed to destroy one of them. I've had one of their originals (what's the XT now) for roughly a decade. They're tough as hell.

    The GS (a cheaper version made from injection-molded plastic) is roughly $15. The XT (which would be preferable) is $25.

    Note: The newer ones are a little different than what I have now. The new versions are a bit less slick (but don't warp the way my original did). But if you take a little Pledge to the surface first thing, it's perfect.
    I also recommend Ratpadz.

    However, right now I have a "metal" (coated metal) surface from Allsop. Thing is tough as nails. Can't tell you the crap it's been through and you can't even see a scratch or dent on it.

    Mystic Fortune, Secondary Mutation, Sprint, three accolades or maybe nukes, mission teleport or assemble the team?, mission teleport?, Ouro Portal, Pocket D port.

    It also looks like he has Corva's icon pack applied since they're all super shiny and color-changed.

    Type this to open the main combat attributes window:

    /show combatnumbers

    Right click a line to monitor it.

  8. Because logging into your game account has nothing to do with logging into your master account.
  9. Make sure you don't have the "free only" option at the bottom of the costume creator selected.

    The gaseous aura is unlocked with Costumes > Tailor > Aura Unlock option.

    Actually if you're solo and Gravity then Dimension Shifting half the spawn is worth a punt. Or using it as a bottle-neck.
    All enemies have an inherent mag 1 protection against mezzes. So it still requires two applications, since that in combination with their mag 3 protection through their Resistance power means a total of mag 4 protection vs immob.

  12. How about instead, when you boost something it asks you how many you want to use (so you type a number and hit enter to complete the boosting process -- PS, the "hit enter" part is really important, far too many UI dialogs in this game do not utilize the enter key). This way folks can apply ANY number of boosts in one go to an enhancement, which means it'd get far wider use than the option to boost by five.
  13. I don't PVP because the game functions entirely different in there.

    I don't PVP because the ratio of jerk:nice is skewed out of balance, even to the point of corrupting people who are nice in PVE into total jerks.

    I don't PVP because I don't have the money to spend on top-notch builds so I will never be competitive.

    EDIT: I don't PVP because SS+SJ is stupid.

    Or I suppose you could go browse the 1 page of Paragon Wiki to find the answer...

    Nah, you'll just ask here.

    They have mag 3 immob protection. They actually don't have any RESISTANCE to immob, just PROTECTION. (I hate that the developers conflate the two terms in power descriptions all the time. That's why it says resistance in the wiki; because the game says that.)

    Thus, it takes two applications of an immob to immobilize the dead guys, instead of one for normal guys.

    Or you can simply change the way you think about them.

    Account Items are awarded to an account; every single character gets to obtain that award once.

    Character Items are awarded to a character; one character gets to obtain that award once.
  17. If they have to, make it more expensive the rest of the year by like 100pp. Then they can even advertise a "SALE!" during the Valentine's event. Sales make people excited.

    Edit: I'm not actually saying the permanent portals are hard to find. They could have big flashing signs with directions to it every 50 feet in every zone and some people still wouldn't be able to find it. Much in the way that people still occasionaly ask for the location of a new contact for the SSA.
    Just FYI, the intro arc to DA sends you to the folks standing outside the portal during its course.

    People getting free points means people won't buy those points means a financial effect. Clearly you did not think that sentence through.
  21. This issue is no longer present (the Launcher has been updated to fix it) and this thread should be de-stickied.


    edit: hahahaha. This was supposed to be in the report post box, not a reply box. The nice weather has boggled the brain.
  22. The game was down!! I demand my $0.37 back!!
  23. Thanks for this thread. It's been quite a while since I tried Aion, and its F2P isn't bad. Looks like they've seriously fixed leveling speed, too.

    Had absolutely no issue with Pando attempting to run any time other than when I was actively downloading the game. Absolutely no traffic at any other time, with default settings.
  24. I've seen it only rarely, usually as a tongue-in-cheek/silly reference to SHOs.

    That sounds familiar! My "as seen on TV" folding table doesn't have a built-in fan, but my laptop runs amazingly cool so I don't really need it.

    I move between the floor in front of the couch and sitting on the couch. I get uncomfortable easily due to back and leg pain so I'm changing position a LOT, so getting the laptop and setting up the "hub" was a god-send.
