    Story?
  2. For tech help, the "Technical Issues & Bugs" forum is the best bet - it's in the development sub-forum above this one.
  3. Not really - they seem to have been drawn different, but the in-game tree would match the "Any Two Rares" discription on the website.

    Of course, it's not live yet, subject to change, etc.
  4. Just to make sure - you know that Seeds of Confusion DOES generate agro, right?
  5. Well, from the website, we see the note that the Very Rare boosts will require 2 rares.

    That's all we really know at this point.

    Incorrect!

    Added i3 actually, removed in Issue 4. At the same time, we had the "Sister Psyche" character there renamed Aurora Borealis, made into a Trainer; Mailise - Sister P's sidekick, ran off (troubled guy); Sister P started standing on her own two feet

    Sister Psyche's TF has been in the game the whole time.

    The Calvin Scott TF centers around Calvin wanting his wife, Aurora Borealis, back as herself, not as a (in Primal Earth) willing host for Sister P.
  7. By setting a level of 1, it's their way of not requiring a specific level - however, Vanguard is an Organization only open to 35+, thus the merits - so you can't have those threads until then

    The fact that they haven't merged servers, or simply made server transfers something like 5 free per month, amazes me.

    CoX has a severe population problem and too many servers. They don't want to merge because it looks bad and they know people will crap if they lose their character name.

    The only logical and fair workaround is free server transfers on a somewhat regular basis.
    ... Yes, because all that extra activity means the servers are dying...

    Or are you one of the "The Devs shrunk the server hardware" types?

  11. The name-freeing script hasn't been run in a while, but it wasn't simply "Inactive for X days"

    Also, it didn't automatically make one lose the name, just made it so if someone else went after it, then you would.

    Off topic note - seeing the title in Dev Digest of this thread made me have a flashback to a chainmail bikini-type babe using a whip going "MORE & MORE!"...

    I'd say the closest this game has to "needing a specific power" is either the "Wild" or Lady Gray TF Hamidon encounter - specifically for the Green Mitos & how being held shuts down their regen "toggle".

    At the same time, I've done it on the Lady Gray without a single hold.

    You can team from level 1 Only a few of those missions require you be solo.

    To be fair :

    Original design intent behind the villain ATs was :

    Brute: Scrap/melee DPS
    Corruptor: Buffage/Range DPS
    Dominator: Control/DPS
    Mastermind: Tank/Buffage
    Stalker: Burst Damage

    but between the players and all, has evolved to :


    Brute: Tank or Scrap
    Corruptor: Still the same
    Dominator: Control/ Better on the DPS (current design has Domiantors basically have two primaries vs. the Primary/Secondary focus of other ATs)
    Mastermind: Tank still (Summonable bags of HP GO!) and DPS/buffage
    Stalker: Burst Damage and Scrap

    I'm on Justice and my global is alyssajones (original, right? lol)
    Sounds like you would/do like scrappers and brutes

    And as for XP debt, around here someone (Memphis_Bill I think) has a line in his sig that the death penalty could only hurt less if npcs stopped and laughed at you before you could rez
  15. Recommendation : With no inf in it, send yourself an email to your global.

    When it shows up in your email, REPLY to it with the email with inf in it - that makes sure it goes to the right place

    Hmm, to be precise, up to +5 levels higher than you, all the "innate" bonuses are merely Accuracy. At +6 they throw in to-hit bonuses.

    And if anyone is wondering, the "clamp" (enforcing the minimum to-hit) happens after Accuracy as well because some powers have a less-than-1.0 accuracy.
  18. The Game is always free. And because of you, I have just lost the game.

  20. If the timing is right, you can stack veng, still. Done it several times by accident on the ITF lately (no TP, just good timing

    Actually, wasn't the issue that the integer was on the wrong side?

    That they were perma-held by their "mez protection"?

    While the auto-turrets don't do much on thier own, they are a real pain in my tucus as I do a lot of in-combat toe bombing with my Bots/Traps MM. Normally my soft-capped defenses let me get away with it pretty easily, but those things keep interrupting me left and right.

    yeah - all tips care about is that you and the npcs are both 20+ - killing greys is a good way to find tips fast.
