Kitsune Knight

Power Boost/Power Build Up was changed many issues ago to not provide +Knockback.


At 50, with 3 generic lvl 50 IOs, Force Bolt should do ~51.5 Knockback.

He's being fairly idiotic. If you seemed hostile with the first response, why is he still trying to talk you into it with the reply to it? If someone says 'no thanks' and you continue badgering them to join, I think that's a reasonable time to whip out the '**** off'.

It's not (entirely) an issue with the market server, but with the shard you're playing on, which is why all the complaints (over many, many threads) have only said they're from Virtue (anyone not on Virtue with issues should really speak up and say so). Virtue being the common element in all the complaints means that Virtue is either the cause, or trigger, of the issue.



And I, personally, infinitely prefer the new UI. It's faster, more responsive, takes less clicks, and more helpful than the old one.

Sort of like the Shinigami (Gods of Death) in Death Note. They weren't really evil (okay, Ryuk was at least a bit masochistic...), mostly just bored because their realm was... well, incredibly boring. Pretty much all of the Shinigami were fairly willing to help whoever possessed their notebook (with Ryuk being the biggest *** hole about it), not really incredibly concerned about Good vs Evil, with Rem and Gelus both being shown as fairly protective (if not loving) of Misa.

The Shinigami could easily be called Demons based on their appearance (they better fit the old definition of daemon, neither good nor evil), and that's just a very simple example.

A completely made up example would be that your character made a pact with a powerful Demon Lord. You've sold the Lord your soul, in exchange for control of a powerful force of Demons to do your bidding. Your intentions, at first, might have been evil and selfish (which would explain why the Demon was willing to go along with it), but you had some sort of experience with, say, a Divinely Powered Hero, that began turning you from a path of darkness, to redemption and eventually becoming a Paragon of Redemption (ooo, that'd be a good badge title!).

It's easy to come up with RP reasons for any powerset in the game to be on any alignment. If you can't come up with an explanation, that just means you're not trying hard enough.

I've never heard anyone mention this before... Has this actually been shown to be the case by experimentation/a red name confirming that's how it (at least currently) works? That's definitely something that should be better known, if true.

That's a very unusual pattern, at it appears to be repeating in a pattern.

That suggests to me that it's a constant problem whenever you're established to something for more than 10 minutes (since changing zones means a new connection).


This largely rules out an issue on the server side, or the client side, so that leaves some piece in the middle. I'd suggest trying to reset your router, and if that doesn't work trying to replace it if you have another handy.

You can find the trouble shooting tool here, but like you said the link to the ftp server just results in failure (even using the passive mode like they recommended, in Opera, Chrome, and IE). It looks like it's a problem on their end.


I have a theory that your problem is actually unrelated to CoX, but is related to the length of a connection to the remote system, that after ~10 minutes it just begins to start losing packets in a predictable pattern... unfortunately I can't think of any good tools to test that theory. It's likely due to some interaction with a NAT router, as UDP isn't truly stateful protocol... but NAT pretends it is.

You can do it manually, by opening the Terminal.app (IIRC, in the Utilities subfolder of the Application folder) and running a traceroute on the updater server's IP address (it's listed on ParagonWiki, but unfortunately it would appear to be down right now so I'm not sure what it is).

CoX for OS X uses Cider, which is based on Cedega, which is based on Wine, and they all start various background services, that sometimes hang and persist in the background, needing to be manually terminated so they can be restarted... generally a reboot is the simplest way to do that, without having to explain the details of the OS X task manager. There's also quite a lot of other system state on any OS, including OS X, so a reboot can often help (the micro-kernel like system just means that if you know enough about how to control it, you should be able to restart various services without a reboot to achieve a limited similar effect).

Fluffy is a unwilling servant from the netherworld. Harmless, maybe. Slave? Without a doubt.




HEROES ARE PRO-SLAVERY!

I'd recommend just rolling an alt on Union (at least at first), since that's completely free. Also, definitely join some Global Channels on your server (checking in the server-specific board is a good way to find them), those are an EXCELLENT way to find teams for TFs/SFs/raids/any random content, as well as just being entertaining.

CoX has a lot to offer, and is going to have a good bit more (especially end game!) come Going Rogue.

You'll be able to fight the Aspect of Rularuu come i18, with the return of the Cathedral of Pain. Although, Aspect of Rularuu is not the same as the huge *** Rularuu-like model in the game that's larger than Atlas + the globe he's carrying.

It isn't. It's triggered by defeating a random number of the Devouring Earth Monsters in The Hive, which causes all the remaining Monsters to retreat back into caves.
