    I guess once a year could be annoying to some people. Personally, I have NEVER had it fail and I've had the power on both accounts since the Valkyrie pack was released.

    If it works, with the long animation it not that much faster than running it.
    And now you resort to posting complete BS. Okay. Unless, of course, you're talking about using it to get to a mission in the SAME ZONE. I agree that would be silly.

    Is it actually all of them? I know it's a lot of them. They put in a change a while back that let you use Ninja Run and a bunch of the other travel powers. Big improvement, particularly since I have numerous toons with Ninja Run as their primary (only) travel power.

    Something Fast?

    Dual pistols? The animations are pretty fast and the powers will be made faster in an upcoming patch. Get some extra recharge and it's amazing fun. I have it paired with Devices. When I'm solo, I'm more cautious. But it sounds like you might want to pair it with a high damage secondary.

    Some people like it. The ONLY reason I haven't bought it is that I bought the Rocket Board immediately when it first came out and the two powers are identical in function (just not appearance).

    Yep, it's pretty sweet. I also have the Good vs Evil Jump Pack. With both of those, even the Shadow Shard isn't a problem.

    That would be account BOUND (which they are not).
    Attuned means they don't have a fixed level and adjust as you gain levels. So you can slot them at a relatively low level and they will be as good as level 50 IO's when you hit 50.

    Does the wiki clarify anywhere?
    It DOES count the bonus points. Trust me - I bought the package of 9600 pts on my main account. It most assuredly took into account the 1600 bonus points.

    Some of the costumes have been wonky from day one. This image is from Halloween 2010.

    Either they are RETIRING them, or they are NOT.
    Oh, they are NOT. They are removing ONE way of obtaining them. To equate that with 'retiring them' is pure drivel.

  10. Firstly, this is a good place for that question. Here or 'Player Questions' would both have been fine.

    You can post in here to trade items (but that doesn't get done much).
    Also, there are global channels where people trade things.... occasionally.
    Really, the way to unload anything is through Wentworths. Unfortunately, AT THE MOMENT, the Overwhelming Force enhancements can not be put in the auction house. This has been acknowledged as a bug, but we don't know when it will be fixed.

    Frankly, I don't think people are going to be trading a lot of those right now anyway. I think they are going to collect them for personal use and/or to sell once they CAN be put in the auction house.

    A big source of information for this game is ParagonWiki.com which was created and is maintained by players. There is a page with info about the auction house.

    In my opinion, the one key thing to remember about the auction house is that you pay a 5% fee of whatever amount you list something for. If you list an item for 10 million inf, it costs you 500,000 inf to do so. If it doesn't sell, and you need to take it down and re-list it at a lower price, you eat that 5%. It is NOT refunded. This is to discourage people from listing at a high price and 'creeping' downward to wring every possible inf out of the sale.

    On the other hand, when you are BIDDING, you definitely want to creep your price upward (unless you're wealthy and don't want to take the time). When you bid on something, there is no fee. If you retract your bid, it is refunded in its entirety. So always start with a lowball bid - you might get lucky.

    Except when it doesn't. Having witnessed different behavior from what City of Data says just YESTERDAY, I'll put more faith in actual experience than theoretical data.

    Is Absorb Live?

    I don't think so.
    However, Nega Pendragon in the Magisterium trial has the power.
  13. Don't put me on the list, since I don't need the badges.
    If there's room left, I have nine 50+3 toons that I can bring to help, depending on what you need.

    The first time you reconfirm or switch to a full alignment you get 50 reward merits,
    This is wrong. Any time you change alignment, you get no other reward. The new alignment is your reward.

    This one doesn't really need a specific method. On Infinity, we DO pull the mobs and we start with Shadowhunter. I would think any AV sequence would work fine.

    They count for the badge.

    No. Level has no effect on defeat badge progress. You can be +49 to the enemies and get kill credit.

    I think so. I occasionally use it just for the sound effect and it drains almost no END if there are no enemies around.

    Maybe the GM saw this line and didn't think it was important.

    um, yes. See above.
  23. Yeah, we had that happen on Infinity last night also.
    In addition to the problem I described in this thread.
    Two different trial-breaking bugs......
  24. Well, this should be the one that gets a lot of people the Task Force Commander accolade (and those sweet military epaulets).

    Oh, I see. Anyone who didn't 'pay' the same 'dues' you did isn't a REAL gamer.
