They might benefit from the +damage in Musculature, for example, but not from the recharge in Spiritual.
    It won't. As this work just like an enhancement being slotted into the power, at best it will make the pet power recharge faster.

    Just a warning - some/most of the mobs in Praetoria are a little more rugged than other low-level npcs. So it might be a little more difficult there than you remember, but on the flip side most of the ATs have been improved since you last played (Scrappers and Mastermind are the only two I can think of without significant change).

    Personally I hope they don't waste time on account name clashes.

    However, I agree that effort should be taken to minimize global name issues - especially since that is a very visible part of ones identity.

    I clicked the delete tab button by accident and lost all of my Chat tab. I got it back by doing Add tab but its not how it was before, Chat on the bottom then combat/help on the top of it. How do I reset my whole interface or fix this to the way it was?

    Thanks

    Also, to split a chat window in two, select a tab and drag it down.

    To be fair, the OP did mention suggesting Nyte come here. So there is a chance

Or did they just use an obscure temp power twice in this video for some reason?
    From the looks of it, same obscure temp power twice. Looking at it, you're just getting a different angle in different lighting @0:44

    That sounds like a bug to me. As far as I know, FE isn't supposed to add damage to anything that didn't already do damage.

    You're just seeing a side effect of how the account-wide unlock works on pre-existing characters.

    Um... The rank does affect the Pool A drop rate, of which Purples are a set of.

    Upper ranks do not have a greater chance of dropping rarer Pool As, only a greater chance of dropping Pool As at all

    1 - Pets have a different name filter.

    2 - Even if it has been added to the Player name filter, if you already had it a rename is not automatically forced.

    I was away since 2009. Reactivated my game on February 11th or 15th. I'm not sure the exact date. Anyways It's my first reactivation since 2009 and haven't stoped/changed the subscription since I returned.
    1 - Check your email. On the day you reactivated you should of received a confirmation email.

    2 - Check your billing date via the NC Master Account.

    If your account was expired for 1 day (a lapse then rsubbing during that day is fine) or more during the timeframe, you don't get it (exceptions being loomed into for victimes of the security update). So at this point looks like it's a no go.

    One thing WarWitch missed out on - as far as the "empty" streets, it's because the game rewards the instanced play much more. In part, anyway.

    It will show an extra tic of damage, however.

    Thanks for the replies.
    The incarnate system is character advancement. Just like levels 1-50. The devs would not grant all your characters the XP to hit 50 just because one character got there.

    Wrong section, I'm afraid. You want the "Technical Issues and Bugs" forum. Note, one of the stickey threads is called something like "Help us help you" - read it, and run the programs they link to (HijackThis and CoH Helper).

    This is more the "Where do I get a 2nd costume" type help stuff.

    I'd say server side has nothing to do with it. I play freedom ("east coast server") and I'm on the west coast. Other than occasional networking issues, there's never been a real difference between them.

    I wouldn't buy one until you need it.

    A big reason why Mids doesn't count such procs as regen/recovery is effects that 0 your regen/recovery don't affect the procs at all.

    1) At least the Xanth series has a good reason why! :P (Need to pick up the newer books...)

    2) There would have to be a connection to the old gang somewhere if just for Korra to learn Airbending.

    Pretty sure that's just the graphic.

    And as for the big bubble resizing based on charachter size, thought they had fixed that one.

    Another thing i never knew. i've been using the link in the forums for almost seven years.
    The old launcher might of linked to it - but that was it.

Heck every time a new super hero movie comes out theres a bunch of clones running around for about a month or so until the GM's get them all genericed.
    I'm not saying that they didn't necessarily have screen shots of others with clones, but they made some themselves.

    I know also that apparently they took the message "That name is unavilable/taken on this server" to mean there already was a character with that name - but that's how the banned list reads/read at the time.
