  1. Try changing your resolution - if you normally go fullscreen, try windowed (or the opposite). It might be something about your mouse being out of place.

    I'm OK with that. /ignore means you don't get added to LFG-based trial groups, and /playernote means you should always know when you're teamed with an idjit.

    Nope. The longer and/or harder the target is, the more bonus XP it awards. Conversely, if they select a really easy target (say, Katie Hannon?), they can make it award less bonus XP.




    Also: For the OP: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Weekly_Strike_Target
    Paragon Wiki is a great place to stop for simple questions like these.
  4. Are we supposed to be getting this patch? I loaded up my launcher and nothing new happened. Is this a server-side thing?
  5. No, there is no difference between the two that I know of.
  6. Amusing... but what I'd like instead is to take pointers from other games and make a UI acknowledgement that someone has clicked the button (e.g. changing the color of their name or placing a marker icon next to/on top of their name). That way, everyone knows who the idjit is.

    This is actually what I thought the devs would be working off of when they first announced the LFG feature - something in between the Arena posting and the 800lb Gorilla's LFG version. Instead we got some kind of gross, aborted mess.

    Average wait includes pre-formed iTrials.

    First available means you'll join any iTrial that meets the minimum player number requirements - this typically means a Lambda will start, since it has the lowest reqs. (Thus why I don't really understand why they have this option, since it basically means "put me in a Lambda")

    Click queue to enter the queue.

    Go to either RWZ or Pocket D (depending on your server) to join pre-formed trials, otherwise you may be waiting in the queue for a very long time.

    Considering Dark Watcher's Despair is not a taunt set, the question is fair and valid. And I don't have the answer.

    That being said, I hate the reliance on healers and regen and devaluation of other support/defensive sets in this trial, and I feel the final fight with Anti-Matter overly penalizes melee types. But I still love it overall because it feels like I'm fighting Dr. Doom due to the number of tools at his disposal.
    I do like the fact that Anti-Matter gets to be a total badass out in the open, which just proves that Neuron is a dirty tech stealer and Cole is blinded by Neurons toady attitude.

    Global names were added in Issue 3, not CoV launch (Issue 6). Which adds insult to your injury.

    The LFG Open League mechanic will not put you on a trial that includes someone on your ignore list. It has always been this way since its launch.
  13. Roll one of everything and try it out yourself

    As a certified altoholic, this is how I found what characters I like to play.
  14. The Training Room server is the test server. I think that might have gotten closed down to beta test the next round of stuff once I20.5 went live yesterday but I'm not sure. I don't have it installed so I can't check myself.

    The test server isn't meant for general levelling: you can get characters deleted at any time, you aren't guaranteed access to it all the time.

    I recommend rerolling your character on a live server.
  15. It sounds like you created a new account instead of upgrading your original account. Do you use the same login name/password on the upgraded account? If not, then contact support to get them to cancel the new account and upgrade the original account. If so, then make sure you are on the same server you were on when you were playing the trial. Trial accounts utilize the same servers that paid accounts do.

    Additionally, I'm not sure why you "downloaded the original game" - whatever you were playing the trial on was a full installation of the game.

    Hopefully I'll keep most of my old characters.
    (I only play on Union so it wouldn't make a difference to me if they were global or per-server)

    *waits patiently for Freedom to be launched*
    You keep access to all of your characters- none are deleted- you get a bunch of tokens to unlock either existing characters or to get some empty character slots. If you delete a character you unlocked, you get an empty character slot to use (you don't get to re-use the unlock token).

    Monsters have all the same details as AVs, they just don't get "purple triangles". Then again, the custom AVs in AE don't get purple triangles either, so just build your Monster with the AV flag.
  18. Someone can go in and change ANYTHING in the account. Their level of access may not be high enough, but if it is stored in a database, it is changeable.

    Disregarding level of access required, it's a matter of "want to". After all, someone petitioned having an extraneous Incarnate power and the GM removed it for them, which isn't something I would have said the GMs would do.

    Well, if you wanna be nitpicky, sure, about 5% better. Do you REALLY wanna be that anal retentive?

    i don't recall for sure, but you might have to have run the level 30+ aura mission to use the new auras. In any even they are also usable by all alts on your account.
    All of the pieces can be claimed by characters of any level. The Ascension Armor can only be used by level 50 characters, and the auras can only be used by characters who have unlocked lv30 auras.

    I don't remember if the Incarnate Symbol chest emblems are locked or not.
  21. That's not heroic; it's a fairly standard-issue "pseudo martial artsy saying". Are villainous martial artists not allowed to strive for excellence, in your opinion?
  22. They are global unlocks. Each character will have an unlock certificate in their mailbox after purchasing it from any character.

    (re: bold) Not quite: they cut end costs of the level 6 and 32 upgrade powers, not of the pet summons themselves. (this is like getting 3 SOs of endurance reduction in them, it is SIGNIFICANT!)

    Okay, uh, pictures or description please?

Warhammer used it in 2004. Kevin & Kell used it in 1995. Someone says it was used as far back as 1955, according to Google. (As everyone knows, everything on the internet is the truth.)
