    It's time...

    With the death of Statesman and Sister Psyche, the denizens of Paragon are in mourning at such a catastrophic loss. As is customary, it is time now for Paragon City to honor the fallen with statues.

    I think this might make for an opportunity for a contest where players can recommend and vote on sites in the various zones for the statues. Pics and/or co-ordinates can be submitted indicating where the site is, and perhaps a blurb as to why it makes an ideal spot for which ever fallen hero the site is intended for.

    And hey, maybe once the sites for Statesman's and Sister Psyche's statues are officially selected, a mini story arc could be created where players can catch a glimpse of the creation and placing of the statues and get to be a part of the dedication ceremonies for the public reveal of the statues!
  2. Actually I just realized I got a notice of the well
  3. Where can I find the rules or guidelines for how to get rewards for TFs. I did the weekly TF (Penelope) last night, and tonight, and I received no rewards in either case. I think it might be because I did a repeatable Dark Astoria mission where I chose Incarnate threads.

    I'd like to know what all the can dos and can't dos regarding this.

    Ah, thanks! It was probably the 'posts vs. threads' that tripped me up.
    Thanks again!
  5. Thank you!
    So, in a case like this, how would I have found it using the advanced search?
  6. I could have swore there was a double xp weekend coming up soon. I think it might be the weekend of the 10th of August, but for the life of me I can't find the announcement for it here on the boards.

    I looked up under Announcements, News, Events & Announcement Discussion, Dev Digest, Community Digest, and Developers' Corner then I tried doing an advanced search for 'double xp' one month or sooner and turned up a boat load of posts, none of which had 'double xp' in them.

    If there is not a double xp weekend coming up, thats ok.
    If there is one, how do I go about finding a post about it here on the boards?

  8. ...a player suggestions section on the boards?

    It's been a while since I've looked around the boards, but I thought there was a section for players to make suggestions to the devs about the game. I can't seem to find anything like that.

    Maybe I just haven't hit my optimal caffeine saturation level yet.
  9. I logged in with my lvl 50 MM, I am VIP, and have 1810 points to spend. There is 1:25 hrs left on the Mastermind Archetype enhancement sale. But, there is no "Buy Now" button for them. I can't buy them. Anyone know why?
  10. I've tried, before, to open a PayPal account in the past, twice actually, but in each case PayPal's website insisted on me attaching a bank account, and would refused to attach a credit card with out the bank account. So, I never bothered to completed a PayPal account.

    PayPal option works too.
    But can you switch not only to a different card, but to a different owner? I know I can switch from a VISA to MasterCard, but if I were switch an account from me to my son's name, would PlayNC be okay with that? It's my understanding that they don't like that as it is like giving (or selling) your account to someone else.
  12. Hello.
    My 14 yr old son has tried free to play and likes the game. He wants to have his own VIP account.
    Problem is, he is not yet old enough to have his own Debit Visa card to pay for it. I could pay for it myself with my Debit Visa, but then he's have to make his account under my Master Account.

    When he is older, he may want to handle his account on his own without having to go through me.

    Time cards are not a good way to go, as the stores that carry them are not reliable. I switched to Debit Visa because the stores here often are out of stock, and take weeks to get time cards in stock.

    Is there a way he can have his own account, which I can pay for with my Debit Visa, but later can be switched to his own Debit Visa when he gets one?

    Thank you

    /gmotd is broken

    I was able to use /gmotd at least once just two days ago. It's broken again. Absolutely nothing happens when I issue the /gmotd command. In fact, the link in my chat window that says " Click Here or type /gmotd to see the global message of the day again" also fails to do anything. There is no feed back from using the command or anything.

    Which is actually the first tab, not the last tab. I found it, thanks again!

    Glad to know about windowscale. The space along the bottom of my screen is usually full.
    Ah-ha! I found the Chat font size option under the General tab. I guess that since the Window scale option was under Graphics and Audio, and it changed both the text size along with window size I just got stuck thinking text size would be found under the same tab.

    Thanks, my issue is resolved... for the most part!

    That would be the Window Scale slider which changes the size of both the font and the window. I can't find an option that changes only the font size. Larger font size means loss of screen real estate.

    Yeah, that's what I wound up doing, but the text size scales with the window. I had to scale down to 87% to get tolerable screen real estate, but the text size is quite small now.
  18. I found that with i20, my chat window now, minimally, takes up about a third of the width of my screen. It wont shrink any smaller.

    Anyone know if there is an option that can fix this?

    Odd sound effect

    Yep, that's it. I don't hear the sound when I use burn and don't have Secondary Mutation active. But I do hear it when I do have Secondary Mutation active.

    Thanks TameDragon!

    Odd sound effect

    I'm currently running a Spines/Fiery Aura Scrapper. In the past, I've had Fiery Aura toons Tankers/Brutes/Scrappers, but its been a while. I've noticed only recently on this new toon that Burn seems to activate a strange techie/warbling sound effect when I cast it and it hits a mob.

    It never makes the sound when I cast it with no mobs present. It only makes the sound, once, when there is a mob in range and I cast it. The sound reminds me of the sound made by a Mind Control Troller's Telekinesis.

    I don't recall this sound being present with any of my other Fiery Aura toons. Can anyone out there tell me what this sound is supposed to be about?
  21. For me, I wont be respeccing all my toons. Some of them have IO's and its simply too much of a pain in the posterior to work out a new build and juggle any differences in the IOs that may occur from selecting new powers. Powers I have not yet selected from primaries or secondaries do not offer a significant benefit to make the respec worth while.

    I also do not play most of my 50s often enough to bother toiling with a respec.

    Powers that offer some sort of support or benefit for the team are already selected on my toons that were built with support of benefit for teams in mind.

    Perhaps over time I will eventually respec all of my toons for the inherent fitness pool, but I'm in no hurry. Besides, every time I encounter someone who publicly gets irked that my toon has not been adjusted for the new inherent fitness pool... a dirty little smile sneaks across my face!

    No GMOTD

    When I type /gmotd, I get nothing, not even an error message. Am I using the wrong command? I want the global message of the day, which, as I understand it, will tell me which TF is the weekly TF for shardy stuffs.

    Nope, that didnt work. It works when I use "targetcustomnext Battle Drone" even when the drone has been renamed.

    Here is an interesting thing. The pet names do not show up in the Target Window. It shows up over the pet's head when you mouse over it, but the actual target window shows Battle Drone.
  24. targets my friend's pets and bubbles them?
    Lets say my friend named his pets. Huey Dewy and Louie. I want to tap a macro button that will cycle through his pets and cast bubbles on them with out having to manually mouse click the pet to select it.

    I realize that I will have to tap the button many times to select, to Insulation Shield, to Deflection Sheild, to advance to the next pet, bubble that pet etc.

    Can it be done?

    MM Bind Question

    I highly recommend using the Sandolphan MM keybinds found here. They give you awesome control that are easy to use. You can give commands to all your pets, or to specific tiers. You can change the stance (Aggressive, Defensive, Passive) for all at once or by tier. These binds also include Attack my target, Follow me, Goto (brings up target recticle) this spot.

    They look complicated at first, but don't be intimidated. Once you cut and paste the commands into your chat box, its just a small matter of familiarizing yourself with the keys to press for the effect you want. And it does not take long to get so used to them that you are able to issue your commands like its second nature.

    Hope this helps. Good luck!
