    Actually, we abbreviate it PCSAR.

    I saw Taxibot Belle in Atlas when Going Rogue opened. She's still out there, still helping!
    Yep. I saw her in Atlas helping out some new players a few days ago. I've also recently teamed with Taxibot Icy and Taxibot Stonestrike. They're still out there.


    Quote:
    Edit: Paragon City Search and Rescue is a different organization from the Taxibots. They're both very helpful organizations, though.
    Oh, and they're technically not "the Taxibots". The SG name is Paragon Taxi Service.

    No one said the game has nothing to do with it and no one said your system has changed. Something about the game is interacting with something specific to your computer.

    Oh, and computers do spontaneously have trouble with things. That happens ALL THE TIME. The computer is changing EVERY TIME YOU USE IT.

    No, the numbers are not inherently lame. You just THINK they are lame. There seems to be widespread disagreement with your position. I certainly disagree.

    No, we don't. We're using the word correctly.

    Do you even care that you are basically just calling your own friends/teammates/fellow players a bunch of cheaters?
    I would never do that. Unless, of course, they actually are a bunch of cheaters.

    Actually, we saw this complaint a lot even before you could switch sides. It's very common for people to go to an incorrect plaque. Did you actually use a map, or a screenshot of the exact plaque location, to make sure you were in the right place for each one?

    It's worth pointing out that you can slot pieces from some 'garbage' IO sets to get better performance than common IO's and at a lower cost. This is called 'frankenslotting'.

    Got it. Your previous post wasn't an independent opinion - it's someone backing up their pal.
  9. Gladiators apparently aren't considered 'badges' by the devs. They have different rules.

    wah wah wah.

    Or maybe the people still around like the game and don't have a personal opinion of the devs, one way or the other.

    Or are the forums such serious business to you that any attempt at levity is viewed as an attack?
    I didn't perceive the levity, either. I just thought you were being obnoxious and inferring incompetence on the part of the person 'threatened' by void hunters.


    Quote:
    Serious question to posters following me: Would you have taken what I said seriously enough to be offended by it, like Evil_Gump appears to have been?
    No. I would just write it off as obnoxious behavior. There's certainly no shortage of that here or in any other part of life. If you let these things bother you, you'll just get ulcers.

    Your Thoughts?
    I don't think so. Some of the existing game content is just stupid-easy. The Praetorian content does seem more difficult, in general, but it's like the difference between a random Kings Row mission vs Atta or Frostfire. With the Praetorian content, you need to consistently pay attention to tactics or the enemies will wipe the floor with you.

    So, is it harder? Yes. Is it too hard? I don't think so.

    Just a thought, but it occurs to me that some of the badges are faction-specific. By any chance, has each of these characters changed alignment to the opposing faction?

    Chat Problem

    1) Is this all chat forms? Have you tried both local and broadcast?

    2) For an attempted fix, log into a toon that works correctly and, in the chat line, type: /chatsave
    Log into the borked toon and type: /chatload

    The chatsave command will save your chat settings to a default file. The chatload command will load the information from that file. Also, once you save a default file, it will be applied automatically to any new characters you create.
  17. Yes. Apparently one of the new clockwork types has a 'sticky' attack that jumps between targets (like one of the Mito types and one of the Rikti Riders). I'm skeptical that it's supposed to stick around after dying, but it appears to do so.

    Absolutely. It's phrased something like: "Hit! Your Hack attack was forced to hit by the streakbreaker."

    The one at wikia would definitely be an example of where not to go. It is not updated by the community and, on at least one occasion, has had spyware linked through ads.

    I'm glad you took a whole two days to form an opinion of what is, in fact, an active and interesting community.
  20. Uninspired.

    Because it just sounds so much the opposite of all that heroic malarkey.

    A morality mission will drop just as quickly as a tip mission would. They are both random and have the same frequency. Of course, you will only get a morality mission after your progress bar is full.

    You can get them however you want - the tip missions you have, police scanner missions, street hunting, a task force, etc. Anything where you're fighting enemies level 20+. (Enemies below 20 will sometimes give tips, but that does not appear to be intended.)

    This is not correct. Tip missions and morality missions are NOT the same thing. Once you have a full progress bar toward an alignment, the next time you would have gotten a tip mission you will get a morality mission INSTEAD. This can be seen in the tip window as they are labeled differently. What we are calling 'tip missions' are called "Alignment" missions and the morality mission will actually say "Vigilante Morality Mission". Unlike a tip mission, it is NOT multiple choice.

    Did you buy Going Rogue yet?
    She has GR.

    No, what I'm thinking is that 100 rolls is a ridiculously small sample. You absolutely can not draw statistical conclusions from a sample size of 100.

    About 20.
    How many use a second build? ONE.


    And I STILL think we don't need a freespec for each build. Start some more threads on the subject, why don't you? Face it, the overwhelming majority of people don't use the extra builds. There isn't going to be any groundswell of demand for a freespec per build.
