    I suspect these two (or at least the large one) may be from the upcoming "Scrapper's Strike" IO set...

    True for these items, but note that "attuned" and "account bound" are two separate attributes, so there's nothing saying that something could be introduced later that is "attuned" but NOT bound to the account...

    Not entirely true -- the sets you purchase in the Paragon Market are "attuned," which means they are always matched to the level of the slotting character.
  4. I suggest you post this to the Technical Issues forums where a lot of the folks that follow tech stuff hang out.

    Best of luck to your friend.

I think in a great many cases, the GMs are just making snap judgments out of fear. While this might be a sound strategy from a business perspective, it can't exactly be lauded as an admirable example of navigating the choppy waters of IP law in an informed or enlightened manner.
    If it protects this game from lawsuits, with or without merit, then the answer is that it absolutely is "doing the right thing".

    Yes. And I highly doubt that's ALL the choices we'll get -- imagine what twisted stuff the art team can come up with for this.

The extra slots mean that I could do it in half the repecs time.
    Just in case anyone's not aware, you can buy 2 of these, which means you have room for up to 30 enhancements in your character's tray at any one time (and yes, the purchase applies to all characters on the account).

    He will be speaking to his physical therapist this week about any special equipment he might need.
    Awesome news! Glad to hear he made it in and is enjoying himself so far. Please welcome your friend to CoH for us!

    I dunno about that exactly, but I'm a VIP and when I use Inner Inspiration, I get three medium or large inspirations, not necessarily always large (Tier 3s).

    Someone may have to test, but I'd guess they get Tier 2s if it's working as I'd think the devs intend.
  12. It's only for your own personal information. Nobody can (currently) purchase Points or items for others.

    Yes, I believe this is what has been established, Snow Globe is correct. I've seen more than one example of "non-allocated" Reward Tokens but unlocked access up to or equal to the level those Tokens unlock.
  14. I've done a number of runs on the Harvey Maylor demon farm map (both solo and teamed) using Windfall, and I see a noticeable increase in drops -- however, in my experience it's been most dramatic with salvage (including rares, for what that's worth).

    We are planning to set up a Tin Mage TF run where all team members pop Windfall before the fight with Neuron, and then farm his spawned clones for awhile, just to see what happens.

    7 days of REAL (i.e., outside of game) time.

    There's no timer on the "power" itself, but you can always hover over the badge you earned to get it and do the math yourself to figure out how much time is left.

    Confirmed -- you can access the lowbie arcs under 25 (such as Twinshot's), even though the "native" Ouroboros content, such as The Pilgrim's arc, hasn't been adjusted down in level below 25 (yet, at least).

    This is what I'm seeing (at least at this early date) as the big advantage to Boosters, and why I'll use 'em consistently on my upper-tier builds.

    Then again, I rarely exemp down, so for the most part I don't have to worry about any bonus degradation.
  18. Looking a few posts down: yup.

    Last I knew, this wasn't the case anymore. It still stacks, but you have to activate the separate casts manually rather than having them trigger from the TP'd body.

    I don't think you read all of what I wrote -- I was referring to the minimum level needed to start his arc. Inside Ouroboros (i.e., not flashing back) you cannot get his mission until you are level 25 (even though you can access Ouro at level 14 now).

    Now, if that is somehow bypassed by using the Pillar in a SG base, that would be news to me -- but again, I was referring to GETTING the mission, not accompanying someone else (for all I know it's possible for a level 14 to tag along with a level 25+ on the arc).
  22. I think you'd get a better response if you posted this in the Technical Issues forum.

    Best of luck with it.

    But that would be because 7 is the upper end of the level range, not because you HAVE to be level 7 to start/run/complete the arc (to Blue Rabbit's point).
