    People have argued that since it's subscription based their ideal would be you paying and spending a lot of time out of game. But on the contrary, if you're "out" too long you could grow bored and cancel.
    Reminds me.

    All "video lottery" (cause we don't have non-N.A.T. casinos, and slot machines are only in casinos in Oregon so they can't be in the restaurant or bar) are required to display the time somewhere on each game screen :P
  2. Go to the Forum for your server (it's below this one a bit) - and check the list of global channels there.
  3. Are you talking about the SG channel, or a global channel that your SG uses?

    Procs in Toggles

    Nope, chance always remains the same.

    Like any other toggle, it will check against each affected target of SnowStorm when you start it, and then check again against all targets in the effect every 10 seconds after that.

    The checks are individual per critter.

    Lost game =/

    All NCSoft MMO's have that in the file.

    And please refrain from using the racist term "gyped/jipped".

    At least, if I stay with Logitech.
  7. Sorry, meant to throw an "as" in there - it is not "as" needed to get the badge quickly.

    I can see getting 25 heroes while going after the other badges.

    100 heroes? That is another story.
  8. And even though they didn't say anything about it - also check steam just in case they offer it for real cheap too - they give you a code, so you definitly won't have to wait.
  9. The term "bending over backwards" was used because the peoe went blatently out of their way to show the OP by actually supplying links

    For this kind of thing, it wa bending over backwards - we could of just said "it is out there for cheaper, go find it" but we acutally looked and whatnot. Some of us while passing just a moment here and there at work.

    And as for calling out being some of use being elitist "behind the keyboards" even if it isn't showing in the text - wha? If it isn't in the text, how can you know?
  10. To the OP - I would recommend buying the complete edition not the expansion only version as it includes a free month and some in-game goodies
  11. On the plus side, Hero Slayer no longer requires the huge amounts of heroes, so this isn't needed to quickly get the badge

    not since the ski slope griefers (included equal parts idiots and the same set that justfied tele-griefing people into locked locations as "the game allows for it to happen therefore it is dev intended and not griefing/exploiting"

    Nope. No enhancements give any global proc additions to powers

    Any version of the game - except the "now it's a rip-off since pre-purchase time is over" GR expansion only verion - is a Full Version of the game capable of making an account (Mac, AE, GvE, etc).

    That's why those all come with a free month.

    Oh, and I do have going rogue and have been doing the morality missions to get my A-merits.
    Just be aware that, like the Reward Merit random rolls, A-Merit random rolls give recipes at your level, not the range level, or the max level of the set if it caps out lower than your level.

    And for help with that even - www.cohtitan.com has city info terminal which works with their sentinel program. To load already earned badges just hit /infidel and open the badge tab with sentinal running.

    Even so, you can switch it back to the clock whenever you wish.
  18. Also, can't recall the simple way to show it, but there is a little bit of a trick for when the recharge changes part way through.

I know the base recharge of hasten is 450 seconds, I know I have... lets say, 110% (just to be a jerk and use an off number) recharge... how can I calculate what the recharge of hasten will be?

    Thanks in advance!
    Simple.

    Power recharge/ (1+ extra recharge)=new time.

    Enhancements normally get you up to 96%. If you have 110% global recharge, then :

    450/(1+2.06=3.06)=147seconds or so.

    To my knowlegde, Longbow are just another NPC SG, that's well funded.
    Not only that, they are there to combat super-villain level threats not your basic Skull or Hellion. That's why they have flamethrowers - because bean bags really won't do it.

    Forgot to mention that. Was on iPhone waiting for my haircut.

    Also, OP, while Kismet is a Unique IO the KB protections are not.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4pSRUFKtcg#t=2m14s is at the spot.

    FYI - for youtube, adding "#t=0m0s" - replacing the 0s with the minutes (m) and seconds (s) respectively - lets you make a video load after the default start point. (for the above, i just added "#t=2m14s" to get the right spot.)

    EDIT: haha, "Posi-Gaga"

    However, you might want to wait for a redname post on exactly how that works. I think your time gets added and your renewal date gets moved to September (after the free month, if you buy a 6 month sub), but I'm only about 85% sure, so I think some clarification is needed.
    You cannot buy time if you are on auto-renew, I'm fairly certain. I'd cancel and resub to make sure you get the deal.

    Note, for C: - they offer both 1-time and re-occuring paypal billing - if you want to be charged NOW make sure to do the 1-time.

    The bonus ones are, as far as I know, a special payment option, if you don't cancel you stay on what you are on.

    The rewards are the bonus time.

    I'll stick to my month-to-month - unless a Red name states that the leveling pacts survive now. Didn't in the past.
    Are you sure cancelling kills pacts? LAPSING I could see - the account stops. Canceling payment via ncsoft's site should have no affect on you in game until the sub runs out.

    And I know I've cancelled my account and my pact'd character is still good.

    EDIT : Checking the wiki there is nothing about cancelled billing screwing up level pacts, only accounts going inactive. This is a pretty good indicator right there that you are mistaking your terms.

    My question is: if I move this unique to Grant Invisibility, will it still give me the 6% bonus? Or will it give the bonus to the person Im casting it on?

    I currently have a Karma: +KB resist in Grant Invis, and it gives me just enough resistance for my rad/MM blaster, If I move it to invisibility, will it not give me the +KB resistance when Im not invisible?
    Global Io : Functions in all ways as a set bonus - self buff that lists no duration - the KB and LotG Recharge IOs are this type.

    Proc : the chance toX IOs that require thenpower be used - checks every 10 seconds in toggles and auto powers.

    120s : Any IO that mentions the 120 second duration. The duration is only for clicks, always on you. In toggles, it lasts as long as the toggle is running, permanent in auto powers.

    Just search www.paragonwiki.org for "Special IOs" for more info.
