  1. If you read the post immediately above yours, "Patch Notes for the Test Server indicate that the fix is in the most recent patch."

    It has been confirmed (by someone in another thread) that the fix on Test works. When we get the next update, the zoom issue will be fixed on Live.

    If by "participate" you mean "be dead weight", yes, any level can participate.
  3. Yeah, I just logged into Test to be sure.

    Apparently.
    At the simplest level, interpret it as, "Oo! I thought of something to do that might be cool and it might be of interest to other people." No justification beyond that is needed.
  5. Here.

    FYI, it took me about 10 seconds to find it. I went to Google and entered "accolade badges stat boost pdf".
    It was the first result.

    Let me answer that two ways:

    Because online games are HUGE targets for credit card fraud. Don't blame NCSoft. Blame the scum who steal credit cards and use them online.

    - or -

    OMG its dirty haxx0rz that does this! theiving jerk hackers messing up the game for eveyroone!

    Yeah, it's not a problem, it's a "feature". I haven't been able to figure out any pattern to it. I've been able to buy 3 things in one day and, on another occasion, was limited to 1 per day. <shrug>

    I believe the closed beta is on the BETA server and the TEST server is unaffected.

    You did not just diss them badges! Oh no, you didn't! The denizens of the 1200 Club will descend on you and... and... let me put it this way:

    "Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!"

    When this was addressed in the comic, many years ago, the mirror was a polished piece of metal from the rocket that brought him here from Krypton.

    I remember that, too. I also remember respec'ing so I could sell off the old SO's to afford new ones. It's not like that any more. Not even close. Recipe and salvage drops will easily fund DO's and SO's.

    As I recall, SG mode demolishes one's inf earnings at some point.
    I remember that, too. It's not like that any more, either.
    1) SG mode doesn't have as much effect on your income as it used to.
    2) It has no impact on salvage and recipe drops, which is where most of your income will come from.

    A friend of mine and I are going to be starting in Praetoria, so I can't even transfer inf to our new characters.
    Yes, you can. Email it to your global handle and you can claim it from any character on the account.

    Range is already a defense since most enemies hit harder in melee. If you're going to make an effort to stay at range, definitely get the range defense.

    New interface.....

    The image appears on this page.

    The first time I tried it, it was buggy and would not save my changes. Someone advised me that you need to make your changes to the Incarnate powers, then CHANGE ANOTHER POWER, and the Incarnate changes will 'stick'.

    This may, or may not, have been fixed since then. If you try changing an Incarnate power and the change won't stick, try the above.


    As for which to take, the recharge is long enough that I just went with theme decisions. My tech tank took Ionic. My fire controller took Pyronic. My magic scrapper took Void. My dark defender took Void.

    meh. I have tons of unclaimed rewards sitting in my vet badge listing. And I don't mean tailor tokens. I have unclaimed WEAPONS in there. I just want to get to the top tier for that extra 150 Paragon Points each month for moar free stuffz.

    Now that you've received multiple conflicting answers (since there are multiple 'stores'), tell us exactly what you are trying to buy and we can tell you where to find it.

    If you're talking about game expansions, booster packs (Science Pack, Mutant Pack, Steampunk Pack, etc) - these are in the NCSoft store which is web based. If you're talking about server transfers, extra character slots, these are handled at the character selection screen. If you're talking about the Rocket Board, Titanic Weapons powerset, etc - these are not in the game yet and the store that will carry them does not yet exist.

    MM bugs

    It's pretty common. I regularly team with an MM and this will generally happen at least once each play session. I've never seen it happen myself, but my MM is /force field so every time I zone, I rebubble them automatically. As noted, that fixes the problem. It may have happened to me dozens of times, but I would never have noticed it. The other MM I team with doesn't have that option.
  22. The contact is in Rikti War Zone, standing outside where he can get hit by artillery shells and the like.

    This is a co-op task force so all alignments can join. Please remember that you need to have your Alpha slot unlocked AND SLOTTED in order to avoid operating at -4 levels. Even 1st Tier slotting will let you operate at normal level. Being level 46 would be bad since the enemies are all level 54.
