I'm 27 and I do it because I hate just staying put. Whenever I'm waiting for anything to happen, I'm running around at full superspeed jumping on rooftops; inside missions I'm always moving around targets. Even if it's just a single AV I tend to circle it while firing stuff.

Being a longtime FPS player may have something to do with that. Not moving = dead in those games, and it's a hard habit to break.

There is no ingame hint once you've unlocked the badge (unless the description says it.) Your best bet is to bookmark this: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Badges

By making a shortcut to cohupdater with the -test parameter, you download a second copy of the game with the i16 build on the Test server, to which you login with your existing username and password.

Edit: dang, you people reply fast.

Freedom is generally accepted as having the higher population, followed by Virtue and then Infinity. Freedom has a little bit of everything, though that includes a high number of farmers as well. Virtue is the unofficial roleplaying server. I believe PVP was pretty strong in Infinity, but I'm not sure what happened post-i13.

Remember that Freedom and Virtue, being the highest population servers, also get overcrowded and this leads to more lag and people being locked out during double XP weekends. The new queue system in issue 16 should alleviate that, but it's something to consider.

Someone else can answer this, I tend to go crazy with recovery bonuses until I have way more than I need.

See here for all the answers: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Defense

In short: most powers will have at least one damage type (smashing for example) and at least one positional type (melee for example). When you have defense to both things, the higher one applies. Some powers only have the damage type (mind attacks for example) or the positional type (exotic damage), in which case if you base your defense too much in the type of defense they don't use, you're going to hurt.

It worked for me. You are probably entering it wrong. Copy and paste the following line exactly into your chat window:

/macro elaugh "cce 2 ccevillaugh$$say Whatever you want"

This will create an "elaugh" button in your powers tray to change into your third costume and at the same time saying "Whatever you want" into the currently selected channel. Warning: if the currently selected channel is "Team" and you're not on a team, nothing will happen. If you want the speech to always be on Local, use this instead:

/macro elaugh "cce 2 ccevillaugh$$local Whatever you want"

You found one of the "endless missions" contacts. There are several in the game; they are supposed to be used when you run out of "story" missions of that level, or provide "filler" content for zones that don't have proper story arcs, like the PVP zones. Typically, if you do a couple of missions for a contact and a little book doesn't appear by their name in the Contacts panel, they're not giving you proper "story" missions.

More information on contacts here. List of actual story arcs with the contacts that give them here.

Others have answered this, but I'll put it as a list:

- 3 respecs you can earn doing the Terra Volta trial.
- 1 respec every time a new issue is launched (not stackable.)
- 1 respec per character for every year you play the game (veteran reward.)
- respec recipes available as drops or at the market.
- respec recipes buyable for $10 at the store.

I don't know anyone who ever paid the $10 for the store recipe, when you can buy then with in-game currency at the market. They are expensive (used to be around 20M inf but lately have soared to 100M inf), however you can make that much money rather easily by gathering Reward Merits (from doing missions, task forces, etc) and buying one of the other expensive recipes available in the Merit Vendor. A Luck of the Gambler: 7.5% Increased Recharge Rate recipe goes for as much or more than a Respec Recipe. And you could always get lucky with random 20-merit drops, or architect ticket drops. 100M inf is rather easy to come by if you know what you're doing.

Nope, not tomorrow. Those preload patches usually happen a week or two before Live. It has all the art assets and other big files that won't be changed by smaller bug-fixing patches between now and release.

He might be referring to the fact that villain zones are huge and getting back to the mission after dying pre-travel power is a pain. If you die in one of the missions inside the Mercy fortress at level 6, you have to walk all the way from Kalinda to continue.

When you log out outside a door, you come out of that door when logging in. With that knowledge, you can find doors that are half-buried in the terrain in Peregrine Island / Monster Island and log off outside of them, then when you log back in you'll come out of them, and since they're half-buried, you'll be falling under the map.

Once you're there, just fly towards the arena. You'll see a giant blue cube under it. Fly directly below, and type /stuck. The game will think the closest "valid" location to put you in is inside the arena map, in the area behind the doors -- the "Matrix Room" pictured above.

Awww, recognition! Just for that, I monitored Atlas Park on Infinity for a little while to capture 114 characters and get you these numbers:

Male 64 / Female 40 / Huge 9

Now, really, sleepy time!

Actually I have 456 for Freedom now, and 308 for Virtue. I just updated the numbers in my last post without making a new one. I'll visit the other servers tomorrow, I have to be up for work in 6 hours.
