  1. So if my newly Mako-patronizing pirate MM helps beat up Mako during the event, can I skip beating him up again at the end of the 2nd patron arc?

    Then. Don't. Take. The. Power. It goes against the character concept. Done.

    Dismissive? Certainly. Ridiculous? No more so than getting one's panties in a twist about how CD's visual fade affects character appearance in combat. It's a "Cloaking Device". It makes you "partially invisible". How else would you have it look, by default? Have the character cover their face with their hands while holding up a sign declaring "You can't see me"?

    I have no objection to the idea of a no-effect QoL change for the power, but crying endlessly that it's a "debuff" or "ruins a toon's look" is, in fact, ridiculous. And yes, I do in fact dismiss that stance as such.
  4. This kind of narrow-minded fixation is not exclusive to twelve-year-olds of either gender.
  5. Maybe I'm odd, but in combat I'm not admiring my own character or my teammates'. I'm looking at the enemy. Come to think of it, I'm only "concerned" about how my character looks when I'm in a costume contest. Sounds like a lot of 6-slotted narcissism out there.

    Granted, character transparency IS the only valid statement the OP made about CD, in as much as, yes, it does make your character transparent.

    How much global recharge does that require?
  7. I'll just do what I did last invasion: beat up Rikti and the Ghost of Scrapyard at the same time. At least that way, they'll both have a chance.
  8. Has anyone compiled all the results from all the posters here? Many small samples can be compiled into a larger sample, as long as everyone's numbers are accurate.

    Incidentally, this has been a long-standing issue with nearly every aura (and many aura-like power effects) in the game.

    Goodbye Horses

    Farewell and take care.
  11. Delete all characters. Uninstall game. Remove all billing options. Have someone else change passwords.

    Step one provides a strong disincentive to ever return, given the effort needed to recreate all the characters.

    Seem to be plenty of good suggestions already on how to help yourself with the situation. Executing any or all of them requires the will on your part to follow through.

    Irrelevant, regardless of any reasoning they gave you. Which, incidentally, they were not required to provide. The game, the servers, the account and all the characters on it are theirs, from a purely technical standpoint. That's all in the EULA.

    Well, obviously that sucks, but good catch on the bug.
  14. Or zoning into a PvP zone and having another player try it.
  15. Can you BE confused during the apparent "down" time? Might just be a display bug.
  16. I used to have similar issues when exiting specific buildings; Studio 55 was a frequent offender in this regard. Moving a short distance (blindly) or entering the /sync command (again, blindly) would always fix it for me.
  17. Sheesh, where do we put this on the priority list? Somewhere below every costume bug in the game?..

  19. 3D movies give me migraines. Movies that have had the effect added after filming (as opposed to being part of the initial filming process) give me two migraines... at the same time. If that's the only way it's released, I won't bother seeing it, no matter when they release it. As for why they are "actually" making such a decision, it's more likely to be because some Hollywood suit said "Derp!" during a meeting.
  20. Might need to look around a bit. I've had a LOT of costume items "vanish" only to turn up elsewhere in the "tree". Apparently, someone at Paragon likes to "rearrange" things, but can't find their way clear to actually alphabetize all the costume lists. I figure I can stop grousing about this when we get a dead horse as a chest emblem.

    If I remember, I'll go dig for it myself later and see where it turns up.
  21. It's a matter of item-flagging (or lack thereof) between items that have been made individually available after they were released as part of an earlier, pre-market booster.

    Just a related advisory; as I understand it, the market is designed and maintained by a third-party developer, not Paragon or NCSoft. This is making it challenging for Paragon to get anything done about this or other market issues. Hopefully however, they will find a way to refund your misspent points.
  22. We should add a new rule to the forum drinking game:

    Rule #X - Take a drink whenever a poster states "I'm not going to keep arguing with you", and then does anyway.
