    Pets use several powers, and not all the powers they use can take the same 'slotting.' If you put a Hold Enhancement in Dark Servant, only it's use of Petrifying Gaze can make use of that Hold and increase the duration of it's Holds. That Hold Enhancement does nothing for Dark Servant's Twilight Grasp or Fearsome Stare.

    If you use an Alpha Slot ability that has a Universal Enhancement for Holds, then your Dark Servant's Petrifying Gaze will benefit from it.

    The Dark Servant can no long be slotted for Damage Enhancements. However, it's use of Tenebrous Tentacles can still have it's damage enhanced if you can sneak Damage Enhancers into the power, such as what happens with the Hami-O Peroxisome which is Mez/Damage. Thus, an Alpha Slot slotted with Damage should be able to enhance the Dark Servant's Damage from Tentacles. However, the Damage from Chill of the Night is flagged as non-enhanceable, and no enhancer will affect it.
    Problem with that, Zombieman - the alpha slot's universal/global enhancement buff was meant to work as if slotted in the power - thus Musculature should not buff Fluffy's tentacles. At least, that's the design intent. For example, Mind Link isn't meant to benefit from Spiritual's recharge enhancement.

    No mention of duration? Global; Functionally a set bonus in all respects (Ex. Steadfast or Gladiator's Armor Uniques, LotG Global Recharge)

    Duration mentioned? Proc/Proc120 (Examples : Miracle Unique, Stealth Uniques)

    The word "Chance" mentioned? Proc (example : Trap of the Hunter : Chance for Lethal damage).

    I got plenty of functionality out of the Mekman watching the teammate freak out over the untargettable NPC attacking him

    That's what Unique means.

    Also, two things with Bronze Knight's statement -

    It's proc, not pock (one's desirable, the other isn't! And isn't in game, thankfully

    And the Steadfast isn't a proc or a proc120, but a global (globals follow set bonus rules such as always on but only when at or above the IO's level -3; once slotted, your combat level doesn't matter for procs but unlike globals the power must be used & not grayed out due to explaring down.

    To fully explain - Rikti Drones, ALL Knives of Aretmis, and Rularuu eyeballs all (for one lore reason or another) ignore stealth.

    Unlike bosses which have slightly better perception, or Snipers with much better perception, the above mobs have a normal perception radius. Their perception can be debuffed. They just ignore all stealth values.

    Don't worry. For example, seems like you just taught Star Geek something

    If you already have 3 enchancments of a given type in most of the powers that can use it, then the Alpha of that type will do nothing for you, at least until you get into rares.
    To clarify - that's 3 SO enhancements worth of enhancements.

    Unless something has changed it's not level-locked. I'm not sure the tech even exists in game.

    Game Redownloads

    Ah, if you are an EU player and you ran the updater in the folder and it lacked the .eu, that would cause it to try to redownload - without that eu it tried to luanch the US/NA version.

    IIRC you can add in the .eu to the updater file in the folderif you end up needing to use that later to connect.

    Proc questions

    It applies to any continous effect that affects an area and affect new targets entering that area.

    Game Redownloads

    Try going into the folder and deleting the coh checksum file. This should get it to verify what it has downloaded.

    Also, what OS are you using?

    Running the game exe directly will not work, but you can make A shortcut to it, then edit the shortcut by adding " -project coh" to the target line, both without the quotes and outside any quotation marks already in the target line. If that does or does work, let usknow

    If you are asking if there is a simple, sever-wide channel like the help channel (/hc ) for forming task forces, the answer is no.

    It will be a global channel.

    As was mention, check out your server(s) forum below and there should be a list of channels and what they are for in each one.

    while there is no attack vector "Toxic" it (almost?) always has a positional tag associated at least. Also, depending on the source, typed will also help (Spines and Lethal Defense, for example)
  14. Turn them on.

    Move them over slightly, and up if they block your normal trays.

    Turn them off.
  15. Paragonwiki.com and wiki.cohtitan.com are mirrors of each other.

    The wikia section is the old, previous home to the wiki and maintained (if at all) by spammers, virus spreaders, etc. And not recommended for use.

    Her work phone is in addition to her personal one, and it's nothing more than a leash (oh look 120 emails and it's 7am, an hour and half before she goes to work!).

    As for overtime, not really as she is salary. Now, she doesn't also have to play secratery (sp) and such, but she does get to recieve contradictory emails from the VPs.
  17. I use them for macros and such, personally.

    I've G15 (Original G15Keyboard here ) bound to /dialog_yes so I can just hit that that one key and select "yes" on a prompt (such as teleport) when I'm busy fighting to survive and get a port to safety offered and not use the mouse.

    Also use it for global chat - have them set to type "/send "Repeat Offenders" " for example. Which is nice since those binds/macros don't get reset for each character

    By the way, anyone want a job? =)
    I don't have it that bad (working pizza delivery mainly, so worst at the moment is "My pizza was underdone! It was raw!" when it's just a customer who prefers it "well done" and calls regularly cooked pizzas raw...) but my mom still works for the company I mentioned, in a role with similar hours to yours

    And a company phone and a login, so she can be woken up at any time during December to fix from home at 3am what some idiot broke when he unplugged the wrong thing X.X

    So yeah, I can sympathize.
  19. Yeah, definatly the Complete Collection & not the pre-purchase. They really should take that down.

    Please note also that when upgrading, it will ask for a payment method - however, it will not bill until your accumulated time runs out that it will bill.

    You can even cancel the billing right after the account is set up

    Also - as a "Just in case" thing -

    please note how you pay your first month after your "free time" -

    If Credit Card - Card type (Visa, etc), bank name, and last four digits of the card number (the ones that always are left exposed on a receipt)

    If a Game card - the whole number

    - Keep this note somewhere "safe" in case you ever get locked out of your account.

  22. Suggestions forum is down below the CoH General Chat.

    As for why we don't have a Base-Builder esque way of building mission maps, it's due to matching issues (the number of holes I've fallen into on the devs' maps is nuts!).
  23. Note that Villain merits are erased when you go rogue - as are hero merits when you go vigilante.
  24. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Limits

    That lists the limits.

    Limits do vary based on AT - Damage for example. Next highest cap is Blasters, Scrappers, Corruptors, and Stalkers 500% (so, +400% including enhancements), and for the rest 400% (+300%).
  25. There is a mission architect channel, it is server wide; don't know how popular it is for team forming.

    Be aware many like to use AE for farming; just make sure that if you join a farm team it is not farming an exploit.

    If you go to www.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Timeline it lists when what issue went live with links to the Issue Notes - good way to catch up on what you missed.
