    Also, to the OP, just wait til you get the mission to go into the dam tunnels. There's ways to get to the underground on both sides of the dam, so the waypoint shows up as just underground. It's usually easier to find if you go through the dam though. That dam mission has upset its fair share of players.

    edit: I shouldn't have spent so much time making a dam joke.
    ***Spoiler***


    I prefer the term "Arch-Victim" when referring to the former Faultline.

    Cool little thing about bloody bay.

    You can get you very own oversize glowing green alien!

    When you zone in there will be a nearby "Scientist" contact who will give you a sample collector.

    You go to the different meteor fragments in the zone (note after being sample they are untargetable for a few moments; if you arrive at one and can't target it be aware! PvP rewards in BB include meteor fragments). After collecting all of them, you head to a fire base (protected by turrets, note all turrets in a fire base respawn at the same time, and do not regen naturally. Most will destroy one turret then damage the others to almost no health, after the respawn of the dead one, destroy them all) were inside the comp makes a sample out of the fragments. Return to scientist for your GGG pet.

    The GM's don't hunt and destroy, they will look into player /petitions, but they don't hang around in-game just to happen across a character that violates the rules.

    Not just Frostfire - prior to his upgrade, Citadel was called "Bastion" - when the upgrade occurred, there was a character (I want to say on guardain) with the name Citadel, who also underwent the Genericing-and-restoration process after his name was brought to a GM's attention.

    All prominent and most minor "big" npcs (Statesman as an example of the former, 1K Kelvin as an example of the later) are on the "banned" list to prevent impersonation, etc.
  5. I seem to have the line "make sure your chosen PTT button has no assigned function in City" floating in my head but that's it.

    I also frequently use Vent while in game (Windowed if it matters, XP SP3)
  6. Unavailable isn't just the naughty names - they can also be names such as "Citadel" - in use by an NPC
  7. 1) It's either control or alt + Left click on the power. It will be highlighted with a green circle - if it's ready, and no other power is queued, it will go off automatically then. Note you can only do this to non-interruptible click powers and only to one of them.

    FPS Macro?

    I don't do it very often, and when I do, it's just easier for me to do it that way.

    Schis had it right - the proc grants you 10% OF your max end. Not "to" as you read his line.

    And the Performance Shifter proc does not grant recovery. That's why it's so great. It grants endurance, just like a blue inspiration. So -Recovery can't affect it. Don't let let the people describing it as end/sec here fool you.

    The Overbrook Dam was an amazing step forward for Paragon City, and it began a new area of prosperity. When the Arch-villain Faultline held Overbrook ransom with his earthquake device, not many took him seriously. A group of fledgling superheroes did attempt to stop him but failed, and the master of tectonics set off his device, wiping out Overbrook. Faultline disappeared and has not been seen since. The ruins of Overbrook adopted his name, and many villains began to inhabit the area.
    That's been around since the game started. Pull from the paragonwiki page.
  11. At the very least the Purple Patch would apply, at worst, also the AV resistance table.

    Can't find any specific listing of what their debuff resistance is.

    Some mention using Monster or AV resistance, but I'm not sure if that's just for Damage and/or Mez

    Fearsome Stare has no damage for any AT without a proc in it.

    Pretty sure it still happens - the resetting of the mission text each time someone zones.

    Stacking Procs

    Although, having 2 buildup procs from decimation would be a trick.

    All buildup procs are marked Unique.
  15. Glowies and enemies are supposed to show on the map after most (90%?) of the enemies are gone. If you clear most/all the enemies on a map and no objectives show up (either as red arrows or splats) /bug it.

    Anyway - glad you're enjoying the game

    It didn't "just" pick up that nickname. It's the pseudonym of the "super" who destroyed Overbrook/caused the earthquake.

    I /bug it every couple of months.
  18. And looking at the "Historical" section of the Electric melee page, it mentions said bug was fixed in i16

    FPS Macro?

    Couldn't you just save yourself the macro work and add that to the shortcut, flagging the target line?

    FPS Macro?

    There is no harm in adding the inactive fps limit to the shortcut. If you play normally it will never come into play but if you dimension doing something else you dont have to remember to set the maxinactivefps limit.

    not everyone can afford a balloon payment of $60/$120+, especially in december.

    Now, is this proof that Arcanaville:

    A) is human

    B) a goddess trying to make us think she's human

    C) in Closed Beta (again!:P) right now with a big change to fluffy coming?

    I will be really cheesed if I fail to get these goodies because NCSoft borks my billing.
    If something happens and it fails to go through for no reason you can determine, contact support when it happens. Or Avatea.

    Yes. Otherwise, they'd be insulting all their month-to-month subscribers.

    Not bad. 78 posts before the first real free-gripe came up.
