    Where did you purchase Issues 1 through 17 from? Because I didn't buy them, I got them for free. They got put in my game without me paying any extra money than I was already paying to use the game.
  2. How would a mace make a cutting blow without a cutting edge? While swords can be used to smack someone with the edge, it certainly doesn't have the weight to call it a blunt force attack.

    I mean...what does the wink even mean in the context of this conversation??
    GG is under the mistaken impression that winkies, smileys, and other emoticons are punctuation. She refuses to figure out that she's "doin it rong".

    Alternately, the UI-less part was recorded from a demo playback, which doesn't preserve UI.
  5. No, you don't.

    As for the OP, go to your bank and ask for a one-use Visa card number tied to your account. They will typically allow this.





    In the meantime, what the hell is this about not getting a debit card for two months??? What kind of bank are you using?? I opened a new checking account with Wells Fargo two years ago and got a debit card immediately (like within a week in the mail).

    It should be near the middle of those options, between VSynch and Shadow Mode.
    Both of these are what I said (Sharker: there is an option in-game now instead of having to flag it on your shortcut), and what I said was rejected by the OP.

    Ugly Cursor

    That's the only cursor-related fix that I've ever seen.

    Ugly Cursor

    Options > Graphics > cursor (I think in the second block of options)

    Not necessarily. If you respec out of every Crab power option (on both builds, if you have two), your crab pack will go away.

    Second build use

    I don't pay much attention to exemplaring when I'm building a character, and I don't do a lot of exemplaring in general so it's not a bad thing. Most of my characters utilize their first build up to level 15-25, with more attacks, no travel power, no stamina, etc; then switch over to their second build for a cheapy respec, to pick up a travel power if I'm going for it, stamina if I'm going for it, utility powers, and to spread slots around a little better. After that, basically none of them use their other build.

    Agge is my only character that has and uses two builds: her full-of-HOs Hamidon Raid build (this is also her teaming build) and her solo build, which is all generics and a couple special IOs.

    My cat's name is PITA. Yes, that is an acronym, and it is an accurate description of her.

    I love pets with nontraditional pet names. It's a wonderful thing.

    That's because they're advertised wrong. They have the stats of a level 20 IO (which is slottable at level 1 instead of 17 like a true level 20 IO), not any kind of DO.
  15. Write it down.

    EDIT: I have seen an interesting way to do it within the game, though. There is a system for keeping track of players via "notes" that you write, /playernote.

    You can create playernotes for global handles that don't exist, and keep track of stuff there:
    /playernote InventionSalvage
    /playernote InventionRecipes
    /playernote InventionEnhancements
    etc.
  16. The announcement said you would get an email. The announcement said you would also be able to see the closed beta forums. The announcement said you would also be able to actually access the closed beta servers.

    If none of these are true, then you are not currently in the closed beta. If they are STILL not true by TOMORROW (not today), then PM Avatea or TheOcho.

    Which EN server?

    Defiant supposedly has a higher population, but be aware that all of the EU servers have a low population. There is no Freedom or Virtue there... they're all closer to Guardian/Liberty/etc.

  19. Skippy is in publishing, just like Doc Delilah. Not actually a DEVELOPER, but on the development side instead of the community side. So he's in the gray area of "kind of a dev, kind of not, but he gets a redname anyway". And they all get to pick their own redname titles.

    Maybe he likes it.

    (*I am just 'assuming' he's a he. He might be a she. The central figure in the avatar is a dude, thus my assumption.)

    Nope. TFs spawn badmens based on how many people are currently attached to the Task Force, either logged in or logged out. If a person actually quits, he is no longer attached to the Task Force, and thus the Task Force begins to spawn badmens for one person less. If he logged out instead of quit, he is still attached to the Task Force, and it will continue to spawn the same number of badmens.

    Yes, but they are simply level 20 dual-aspect IOs with no proc and no set bonuses by then. And level 21+ dual-aspect IOs have better percentage, can be procs, and can count for set bonuses. Thus, they become ineffective.
