  1. Going Rogue test server is the Beta server. Not quite sure why they've left that one up and running and distinct from regular Test, though.

    Because until then, provided obtaining the next 4 or 5 slots are somehow tied to Keyes Island, I have no reason to touch Keyes Island.
    Uh...fun*?

    You have 5 Incarnate slots, 3 of them are actual powers. Keyes Island is new content for you to use those powers on. If that's not enough then man, I don't even know what to say to you.

    *Going with the assumption that Keyes Island actually is fun, of course.
  3. Huh, actually didn't know that.
  4. It's not a trade, you still have the badge. It works the same as Veteran Badges, which sometimes have additional rewards tied to them that you can redeem.

    Weren't some of the armors exclusive with one another early-on?
  6. You can access information on all* Incarnate powers right in the game. I believe right-clicking (or left...I forget) a given power in a tree will popup an info window.

    *Except the individual abilities of the Lore pets.

    pffffft, good luck getting any GM to stay IN the Tar Patch or even still be there by the time you've planted it
  8. Maybe the vaguest question I've ever heard.

    Sounds like you're burned out on the game. Try taking a break for a bit.

    Participation doesn't affect which component you get, it only decides whether you even get a component at all or the 10 Thread door prize.

    Don't forget "The ITF is too hard!" and "The STF is too hard!" before that. And "The LRSF is too hard!" before that. Hell, I remember when the redside respec trial was too hard.

    It's a learning curve, people. Yes, it looks scary at first. Yes, you might fail your first run. Fortunately you can try again. Yes yes, I know, god forbid you run content multiple times in an MMO.

    Are you somehow implying that people are still failing the existing 2 trials? I mean sure, they were tough at first when nobody had unlocked any of the new slots and nobody really knew what they were doing, but they're pretty simple now...

    See, I was making a joke based on the fact that Energy Aura is a sub-par defense set thus giving it to Tankers would effectively be an insult...

    I find jokes are actually funnier if you explain them.

    Anyway, no the stealth power would not need to change, Tanks still get Cloak of Darkness with Dark Armor.

    Whatever Issue was out when City of Hero was released. So probably Issue 6 or 7. As I recall the thing was never updated after release.
  15. Worked fine on a Lambda I ran last night. Got held a couple times but was still able to attack.

    Were you experiencing any lag? (I know, dumb question, but that's step 1 of troubleshooting.)

    Especially a Bots/Dark, which also has -Regen from Twilight Grasp (protip: Spam this the entire time) and Howling Twilight (yes, it's more than a multi-rez!).

    My Bots/Dark has taken down a number of GMs (not Scrapyard; I tried but he runs way too much and tends to drone himself), all at level 50. Haven't tried any at a lower level, but I was able to solo Captain Castillo as an AV in a Flashback to Roy Cooling's arc exemped down to level 29 (admittedly, he doesn't require a full defeat in that, but I was still able to do enough damage).
  17. Log into Freedumb, get the badge, and get the heck outta Dodge.
  18. The patch notes may be on the forum (although I could not for the life of me find them until I saw this thread), but they are still not on the main site where they belong.

    Seems like patch notes are always posted late these days. For that matter, announcements of off-site articles come late too, typically scooped by the playerbase. The community team should be the first ones posting about a new interview, not the last.

    I had no trouble getting a timely response from a GM on this mission, but it varies wildly based on what time of day you're playing.
  20. Well see, by graying out your powers they were just cutting out the middleman. I mean, you said they weren't even triggering, right? Better to just cut them off completely and save you the worry.

    This reminded me, I had similar confusion about the term "Troller", except somehow I had gotten it into my head that it meant a Kheldian (in Dwarf form, although I probably didn't understand the distinction between human-only and triform builds).

    Albert Maurer?

    There are a number of NPCs in the game whose purpose is currently unknown.

Then perhaps when I check Ill be at 12582 or something and get off my butt and use them before I get to the cap again.
    A higher cap is just going to have to run into the same problem.

    I don't see this being a worthwhile or even especially helpful fix. I'll echo what others have said that tracking how many you have via Combat Attributes would be a lot more helpful.
  24. This was my very first MMO, so in my first play session after playing for a bit I needed to take a break to go to the bathroom or get a snack or whatever. I had been introduced to the game by a friend who was in-game with me, so I asked him "How do I pause?" His response was, "You don't." My reaction:
