Aha! But you've left out the ever mysterious PLAID name, a name that exists only in whispers and shadows...and Scotland.

Unless I missed it Macs can't use the new NCSoft launcher - so they need the pre-download for speed.Quote:Originally Posted by JayboH
I prefer the huge speed increase for downloads that come with the NCSoft launcher. I realize some people like waiting for a pre-downloader that takes forever even though I don't understand it.

I want to reinforce good behavior with compliments here:
This straight forward, "Give The Customers A Date When Asked" pre-announced issue release is a great thing and should be a part of any future issue publish. It beats the tar out of the old school procedure of being overtly... cryptic... about the whole ordeal and giving customers the run around.
Good work, Zwill, and here's hoping everything goes off without a hitch and we see a similar treatment done to issue 21.
Trickle means it uses just a little bit of bandwidth at at time, so it should take longer than "Update" which means you've told it to go ahead and go the fastest it can go.Quote:Originally Posted by Residentx_EUMy question, when I started the ncsoft laucher I get the trickle down but if I do the "update" is that different? I did the latter( both EU and NA at the same time) and I was done in about 10 minutes. -

Quote:Are you sure CE can slot that? Thought they removed the Taunt sets from the auras (Issue with auras that also buffed the user).Originally Posted by Santa_Laws
I have two questions:
1. If you have a proc in an aura power and it hits, does it trigger it's own gauntlet? For example...
Chilling embrace in the Ice Tank primary can slot the Perfect Zinger taunt: Chance for Psionic Damage (20%). When it hits, is Gauntlet triggered?
2. Is gauntlet only for primary, secondary, or both powersets and does it also include your APP/PPP powers?
Hope I worded it correctly to get the correct answers. -

Intrepid report Amanda Vimes, upon learning of this extraordinary display of Arachnos solidarity, tracked down several leading redside personalities to ask they would be willing to also undergo this visual commitment:
LORD RECLUSE: I got 10 arms. Which one should I get the tattoo on?
BLACK SCORPION: Wait, I gotta get out of the armor for it? To hell with that.
GHOST WIDOW: Maybe if I were alive... with real skin...
CAPTAIN MAKO: This is real sharkskin, I'm not screwing it up with a tattoo.
SCIROCCO: It's not emo enough.
BARRACUDA: Ink doesn't stick too well to scales.
SILVER MANTIS: Ohhhh yesssss... needles... pain... mmm... oh, the art? That's incidental.
ICE MISTRAL: Does it come in blue?
WRETCH: Not sure where Wretch seen before. But look pretty.
DR. AEON: Bah, if he'd only waited another eight months, I'd have finished my sentient, shapeshifting ink! Permanent tattoos would be a thing of the past!
ARBITER DAOS: A true Arbiter would have gotten it in silver. And mine's bigger, anyway.
VERNON VON GRUN: Is that a requirement for the Academy of Mad Science? AAAGGH, NEEDLES GET 'EM AWAY GET 'EM AWAY GET 'EM AWAY!
EFFICIENCY EXPERT PITHER: That'll be four hours deducted off your paycheck, and no company reimbursement.
THE FACEMAKER: Hmmm. Not bad. Real talent would have been ripping the tattoo off someone else then grafting it onto your own body...

Unfortunately most people don't get the irony of Irony. -
Note that this X/1+% is how all reductions work in this game. So 100% recharge buff halves the recharge of a power, just like status resistance.

Quote:Actually, I seem to recall hearing once the term "googlebyte" is used to refer to the average amount of data that goes through Google in a month. However, checking it out just keeps getting me the googolbyte definition now. :/Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
I wouldn't hold my breath. And it'd be googolbyte (1 with 100 zeros after it).
Unless there's some massive revolution in storage technology, you won't see a drive that big in your lifetime (if ever).
Of course, either would be a crazy amount of storage at the moment. -

Quote:I'm still holding out for my 1 googlebyte hard drive...Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Yeah, it's about the GPU nVidia GeForce GTX 260, GTX 460, and GTX 560Ti.
Okay: For memory:
1 Byte = 8 Bits
kBbyte = 1024 Bytes (2^10)
mByte = 1024 kBytes (2^20)(1,048,576 Bytes)
gByte = 1024 mBytes (2^30)(1,073,741,824 Bytes)
tByte = 1024 gBytes (2^40)(1,099,511,627,776 Bytes)
pByte = 1024 tBytes (2^50)(1,125,899,906,842,624 Bytes)
For hard drives.
kByte = 1000 Bytes (10^3)
mByte = 1000 kBytes (10^6)(1,000,000 Bytes)
gByte = 1000 mBytes (10^9)(1,000,000,000 Bytes)
tByte = 1000 gBytes (10^12)(1,000,000,000,000 Bytes)
pByte = 1000 tBytes) (10^15)(1,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes)
Why are they different? Essentially an attempt by computer scientists to frame the numbers they were talking about in a way that people who weren't used to binary numbering could understand, then someone at the hard drive companies using the metric notations literally to make their products seem larger. -
Quote:However, I think the reset emails are sent to the account on file for the Master account, not support.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
Your support account and master account are separate, so you should still be able to login to your support account and change the address from there that support emails goto.
When I did mine a few weeks back they just reset my security questions and all communication was over the "support" email address rather than the master account one, for obvious reasons. -

Quote:Was it 2 originally? Or you thinking of it being 2 active (missions in the queue), 3 total (3rd having no mission in your mission queue at the moment)?Originally Posted by Eric Nelson
Rod's right -- major arcs used to be capped at 2, then 3, and currently it's 5. Minor arcs have no discernable upper limit as far as anything I've ever seen anyone able to demonstrate. (And the colors are blue and green, by the way.)
As usual, more info available on the wiki: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Story_Arcs. -

Quote:Part of the issue with the checking the other side's global database is (in part) they were deployed as seperate servers - unlike the Auction system.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
The thing is that I don't think that there are as many duplicate global names as you might think.[...]
Is there anything in place now to prevent a NA player from changing their global name to match a EU player (or the reverse)? If not, why not? As Arcanaville said, this should have already been put into place.
Is there any way to check to see if the global name is taken on the other servers? (Ie. Can I check if an EU account has "my" global name or can a EU player check to see if a NA account has "their" global name?) If not, why not? It would be a basic database query and it would lessen any fear, uncertainty, or doubt.
Does NCsoft/Paragon Studios know, right now, how many global names are affected? If not, why not? This is a basic database query.
The character record would be everything your character IS. Name, AT, Level, Powers, slotting, etc. EVERYTHING.Quote:Originally Posted by Quildo
Having a blonde moment, I have no idea what they mean about character records. Probably a translation issue, being swedish and stuff, but aren't "records" a past-tense collection of data? If so, how is that a factor for future decisions? -
Quote:You are never set to the level of the tast (Except for Task/Strike forces and trials) - you are set to -1 (if below) or to (if above) the team leader, or holder of the active mission if that is a different person.Originally Posted by sleestack
A couple of specific things you may not know about and not even know to look for them:
Leveling Pacts - you can make a pact with another character, and all XP earned is split between the two. If one is offline but the other is playing, the offline character will get XP. Great for keeping "duo" characters at the same level, especially if on person plays more than the other.
Super Sidekicking - You may remember sidekicking from before, where a higher-level character could sidekick a lower-level character. You may remember the "Your mentor/sidekick is too far away" messages, just as your sidekick drops and all the enemies are suddenly deep purple to you and you get wiped out. These are no more. Now, sidekicks are adjusted to one level below the level of the team leader (or the level of the team's selected task), and there is no 200-foot "tether" any more. These things make it MUCH easier to form a team, as you don't need to mess around with who is sidekicking who (i.e., The Mentor Shuffle), etc. Some highlights of the new system:
- No longer require a specific "Mentor" to sidekick you.
- When Exemplaring (i.e., dropping to a lower level to play on a team), you now gain XP.
- Also when Exemplaring, you have access to powers up to 5 levels above the Exemplared level. For example, if you Exemplar a level 30 character to level 15, you will still have access to powers up to level 20.
Just pointing that out small difference because a mission can be lower level than it's holder. -

Quote:Well, it's not a bad idea to clear them out.. but you do need to clear at least one. You can have up to seven major arcs, and only up to seven, at a time. And Ramiel is a major arc.Originally Posted by Equality_NA
I just checked and I have seven open arcs so what your telling me is that I must complete all seven before I can start the missions from Mender Ramiel.
I have an Ill/kin that has five open arcs and Mender Ramiel will give him the mission so that doesn't make any sense. Why can one toon with five ope arcs get the missions but another with seven not get them? -
Quote:Bodyguard mode wasn't that long after beta - but if they left before, yes that'd be a significant change.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
Masterminds got bodyguard mode, and I'm pretty certain Scrappers had at least a few modifications to the AT... in addition most of the powersets in the game have been modified quite a bit.
But scrappers? Biggest thing for them would be the new powersets, however every AT has those and and they were not changes to the AT as a whole. Not like bruising and some of the damage adjustments tanks got, the blaster, stalker, and dominator changes, the vigilance buff... The recent changes to brutes. Can't recall when controllers received containment, if it was more 5 or six years ago...
