  1. Once you (as a villain or rogue) unlock the PPPs, upon respecing you can choose any PPP, regardless of alignment.

    APPs are always available to all/

I was using Kinetic Stalker so I have some stuns and there was radiation corruptor for stun too.

    I don't know how many hold/stun you need to stack but the more the merrier.
    They are called "Mitos" not "balls". And that's why I recommended a hold - as the green mitos have a regen "toggle".

    If post counts don't concern you, why'd you mention "cartel"? As that's a title bestowed by (drum roll please!) post count!
  4. A note about shards, in case you didn't know (and I didn't see it mentioned here) is shards drop differently than other bits of "loot".

    Traditionally (for salvage, recipes, etc) when an NPC is defeated, the system goes through a check list of "will a invention salvage drop? Y/N; Will a recipe drop? Y/N" - then decide who gets what does drop.

    Shards, on the other hand, are rolled for for each player - so it's not "Will a shard drop" but "Will a shard drop for Player 1? Will one drop for Player 2?" etc. So from one kill it's possible for everyone on a team to get a shard. So larger teams do tend to have more shard drops quicker since they move faster through more enemies.
  5. A-Merits - out of the recipes you can buy with normal reward merits, the rares cost 1 or 2 (most of the procs or more desired triples/quads) A-merits.

    Purple Sets cost about 25 A Merits a recipe, PVP 30-35 A-merits a recipe.
  6. Mission and Arc limits

    7 missions in the queue - used to be 3

    5 Major Arcs open, even if none have a mission in the queue - used to be 2

    No limits on minor arcs.
  7. Main thing, I think, is if you can bring some kind of hold to help with the Green Mitos

    'Cause I do. I really do. What about this, I pull the links for the three games I've made, and THEN you can reconsider. And I use clicking as slang for clipping. It sounds the same in my mind. Alright? Yeesh.

    And, my remarkable issue was that I was remarking about the remarkable size of the cleavage in this remarkable game, and said size was an issue for me because I wanted more manly girls. Thus, a remarkable issue.

    Any questions?

    Do you know how redering works? I'm just asking, do you? YOu realize pulling the files for a muscular male then overlaying it on top of a female model, then merging the render and cutting the insides out is relatively easy, right?

    And no, I don't work at Paragon. No, I don't know how the game works. But yes, I am a programmer, yes, I know how easy or hard something would be to render, and yes, you need to read what I've said before commenting.
    The big thing is, since you don't work at Paragon, you don't know what kind of baggage they have. But no offense was intened to you - we frequently get people saying "That would be easy to do!" without knowing what would need to be done, because not only are they not a programmer/etc, they are not one working at Paragon Studios.

    As a computer term, clipping is well know for being what it is - clicking however is something you do with a mouse; at least that is how most would see it. And how close they are... makes it sound like you were repeating something slightly wrong.

If you guys want to have an argument about how to make yourself a ****, then, sure, but let's stay on topic, shall we?
    Forum threads are living things. And to be fair, the "Slutty" discussion was centered around bewbies.

    Sorry GG, it's just that 90+% of female bad guys are portrayed in the media (TV, movies, comics) as over sexualized in both body proportions and dress. And I'm talking the women who when they first appear seem to have the words "HI I'M EVIL" flashing over their heads or at least a "HI I'M UNTRUSTWORTHY".
    And the other 10% seem to work for a newspaper...

    If people from Japan are complaining about unrealistic boob size in this game, have they never watched their own media? I'm pretty sure animators there have to take a "boob physics" class.

    1. Down. In this case, even it going up would be down.

    That makes no sense AT ALL.

    The clothes you are wearing is one of the main things that determines your physical appearance.
    I think in this case, when GG says "Physical Appearance" she means "Physical Attributes" - which combined with clothing gets the "Physical Appearance" you are referring to.

    I presume the suggestion to run TFs is because it takes 8 shards to make an uncommon component, so I suppose those could be termed "uncommon shards".
    The way I read it the poster was referring to things such as Gr'ai Matter and the Ancient Nictus fragments - the bits you get from TF (-type stuff in the Gr'ai Matter's instance) runs as a chose-able reward.

    To me I read the post as trying to help get a common boost ASAP with the person having 7 shards at the moment.
  12. RWZ is a good place to start - especially since it's the same no matter what side you're on.

    Then you need 1 more common shard to get to 8 so you can either do the common Cardiac or Common Spiritual boosts. (4 to Ancient Nictus and 4 to Hero 1 or 4 to Essence of the Incarnate)

    Or you can run TFs to get the uncommon shards.

    But you will need at least one more common shard to actually craft a common boost.
    You mean "common component" not "uncommon shards"
  14. ever use Bill's Moving/Making a test server guide to try and make that EU/NA thing work?

    beta server?

    Also, if you click on someone's name, and go to their profile, Under their name on the black bar is a button labled "User Lists" - one option is "Add to Ignore" - prefer that method to make sure you don't accidently ignore someone else.

    They are not officially sanctioned (as in documented, and acknowledged by Paragon Stuidos/NC Soft as a singular entity). Winked at, yes - as several of the sounds have been noted to cause issues like migraines, but due to various reasons they will never officially support this.

    [shakes head and walks away]
    No one called you the anti-christ. And while the OP admitted to a bit of oversensitivity (and doing so on forum takes guts! ), Chaos didn't state any such thing.

    I think the shoulder slider - especially on the female body type, is one of the more underrated sliders.

There were a lot of misconceptions about how Taunt worked until he and Ghost Widow took the time to discover it and he explained it to us, for example.
    To be fair, before he and Ghost Widow dug into it, THEY had a lot of misconceptions as to how it worked.

    Don't know if they were constantly testing it during i19 - I think some/most of it was done before 19, then they pulled it to digest the feedback/etc - and now are putting it back up.
  20. Although not a huge part of this game, PvP is also a consideration.

    Please note, even the sound mods are against the rules, even if they are ignored as long as we behave.

    I think what was meant that instead of being like a set bonus or inspiration I.E. luck giving a bonus directly to the defense types that it was done as what we got instead (a global enhancement).

  25. Well the OP is saying it's the attitude by support that would cause him to quit.

    Which is odd - rarely have had issues with t1 support here, and t2 is staffed by some awesome peoples
