*le gasp!*

How did I miss this yesterday!?! Happy birthday!

My first consideration is always to get something that suits the theme I'm going for. With that said, some of my toons are just humorously named (such as my small army of rodents, heh), a few are names I've used in other games, and the rest generally come from friends suggestions, in particular one author friend that's always willing to pull out his naming lists (he keeps lists of possible first and last names for his books) and throw me a few ideas to mix and match.

Congo rats Mental! Time to update your banner, hehe.

The pre-download was about 670MB's, plus a little for things like today's patch (or I guess yesterday now XD ).

1. Not sure on this one. I believe you can only use a US key on the US client, and EU key on an EU client, though I may be mistaken.

2. My folder is 3.93GB's, but I believe a small portion of that is MA arcs and saved costumes. The launcher reads it as 3.7GB's, with GR installed.

3. I would, but I'm on the other side of pond.

I'm not sure H/V Merits could be considered fast unless you trade a lot of Reward Merits and Inf in to get extras. Otherwise, you can only earn one H/V merit per alignment cycle, which is just short of two days. Add to that the fact that you can only make one H/V Merit transaction in a 20 hour period as well, and it slows right down.

Markets and Tickets are probably the fastest, although obviously the Ticket rolls are random so you may not get what you want without rolling a whole lot of other stuff first. On the upside, you can turn around and sell the ones you don't want on the Market and use that Inf to buy the ones you do want.

1000+? Wow, I've never had anything more than 50 or perhaps 60 show up, even when I know there's several hundred people on at the very least. There was always a notation at the bottom with something to the effect of "some results were filtered out", even when no additional search options were set. I guess there's an option somewhere that I've never noticed that may have been toggled on or off that removed that cap to end up with results like you had. If there is (or was), I guess that'd be the new thing for me to learn today, hehe.


EDIT: By the way, love your avatar!

I think the search function has been capped like that for all the time I've been playing (2 1/2 years about). If there's any particular reason for it, I don't know it. With all the options available to search with though (by level, by AT, by zone, etc) it doesn't really hurt any, though if you're doing a thorough search it can take longer since you're stuck searching multiple times with different settings sometimes.

You may be better served to ask this on the Brute sub-forum (here).

That said, my personal favorites for both team and solo are SS/WP and SS/Invuln. But really, most anything should work, except perhaps for Stone, since they are best when teamed with at least a Kinetic to speed 'em up some. Probably would really be a matter of personal preference if you ask me though, heh.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch, lol.

As a side note, not there are no radio/paper missions in Praetoria.

So this is more of a curiosity question than anything else, but is the "Grass is Greener" badge working as intended if you get it when entering a Villain base for the first time as a Rogue? Seems kind of odd that a Villain base would be considered to be in Paragon City...

Being a bit of a PS novice, I'm wondering if there's somewhere to acquire the fonts used in the loading screens? Loading one of the screens up in my PS CS3 Extended gives me a notice saying the font included isn't available in my software and will need to be added to the software. So anyone willing to help a PS n00b and point me in the right direction to get the necessary font(s) or explain how to get around this?

I'll see what I can put together for this. One question though, pertaining to the Boosters included as prizes. What if we have them all? I wouldn't want to see those codes wasted, so I'm wondering if they're automatically applied to a winners account or if the codes are emailed.

That said, off to reinstall Photoshop!

That's decidedly odd then, unless the length of the trial was changed and I missed the announcement.

With Going Rogue live today the servers are working overtime to keep up with everyone showing up. Its been months since I've seen Freedom and Virtue in the red for server load, and even the lesser populated servers like my home on Guardian are into the moderate load range. Combine that with the birthing pains associated with the launch and you'll notice a slowdown across the board.

That said, I don't know of any alternate downloads. Perhaps you can find a friend that has one of the boxed editions and will let you borrow it to install from a hardcopy? Then you only need to download the patches and Issues released since that boxed edition was released.

Oh, and as a side note, the trial is 14 days, not 7.
