    They haven't given out the traditional buddy keys in a long time - they've just trial keys.

    Yes, you can try reactivating your old account - it is still good.

    On "Cyber Monday" Best buy has a good deal on the Complete Edition ($10).The CE also comes with a month's sub and the $7 costume pack which those who bought the "Expansion only" didn't get.

    Even if you buy it after the sale at the full price of $40 what you pay is more along the lines of $18-$25.
  2. You two are more late than the white Rabbit. My error has already been pointed out, my not-really-an-apology given!

    I was thinking of the Set Bonus thing. How both don't care what level they are, they always grant the bonus.

    Purples are ultra rares, others have mentioned their drop mechanics. They offer superior enhancement numbers, procs generally have a better chance to fire, and do more damage when they do. The set bonuses often have better numbers, but slotting enough of a set to get the desirable bonuses often requires a significant investment.
    And both are sets of all Unique (only one slottable per BUILD) IOs.

    Again, I couldn't tell without actually looking at the rig though.
    Think the belt plays into it - the dumpy-ness would probably lessen if it was a tad higher.

    And her knees seem too low.

    Chaz Dean's secretary just called - your appointment with him was moved to 2:30 tomorrow...

    And how did you get my phone number to give to them? I"M NOT YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT!
  8. One difference that might cause them to make a Code pack even for a smaller market than the other boosters is - Most of the real work is done. They'd just have to set it up in the store.
  9. They are merely indicators of when you will again get a) tips, and b) progress towards a morality mission again.

    The fame points disappearing never reverse/remove progress.

    Make sure to buy the Complete Edition/collection one.

    Also, keep an eye on Direct2Drive and Steam, D2D I think recently had it on sale for $20.

    Fixed.

    Shadowfall for everyone used to debuff caster's run speed.

    Well, each power is it's own copy - sounds like a change that just didn't get propagated properly.
  12. Note - random rolls always give you a recipe at your level, or the set's max level, whichever is lower. The slider merely sets the possible drops.

    LotG: Global Recharge is a "Global" IO - as such it functions as a set bonus - and ceases to function at it's level -4 and below (important if you ever exemplar).

    Choosing/not random rolling lets you set the slider to the desired level and have the recipe BE that level.

    To be able to earn incarnate shards, you must have the slot. To get the slot, you must run Ramiel's arc.

    It would take more time to split that off, test it, and patch it to live than this bug will most likely delay the patch.

    Considering that the Enron Executives didn't care to hold themselves to a high standard and only focused on money then yeah I could see where that makes no sense in what you are relating me to.
    You are telling the devs to release a faulty product - a thing not done by those holding themselves to a high standard. Thus, you are making yourself sound like your description of the Enron execs.

  15. Not only that - I don't think that was an intentional thing to begin with.

    I tend to get the newsletter, but yeah, the digests (and the SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM of the community reps setting all the threads up) are how I know.

    Speculation - GG's source mistook "announcement" to mean "invite" in the "beta announcements" mentioned on that newsletter check box when it simply means "announcement".

    I feel no regret for forgetting Beef Cake and Golden Ace, but sorry Arcanaville and TA!

    And fixes in bold above.

    And many owe much to Beef Cake for Badge Hunter, so he's secure, but Snow Globe? Golden Ace's spot isn't so secure.

    You may challenge for it via KULINARY KOMBAT!

    Well, it did used to be.

    Now, really, it's either the defeat badges or the History badge.

    And Silverado, I think you have your badges mixed up, because getting Force of Nature is better than a bunch of GM and Kill 333 NPC badges.

    maybe you're thinking of "Born in Battle" which requires the 1 Million damage taken badge (which can be harder for people with +HP powers/set bonuses/etc)

    Dark Respite, Steel Claw, and Zombie Man are three I can think of right off the top of my head.

    Dr. Aeon is the 8th of the 7 Legendary Forumites, as well (It's a honorary position).

  22. Try lowering your difficulty.

    As long as they are able to drop level fifty commons, NPC level does not matter. Rank (minion/lt/boss) matters, but level does not affect any drop chances. So lower level mobs mean faster farming.

    If you slot them all for +56% defense (i.e. ED capped) you get a total of 45.7% Defense.

    The low damage is technically not a concern except that it increase the change of the RNG killing you. The sleep hole is also not a huge risk, half of your defense comes from the FFG which is a pet and as such is not suppressed when you get mezzed.
    That's right, isn't it? The mez supression is a per power setting.
  24. The issue with Pools is we are not locked into them, and they are not taken at startup - there are /coding/ issues to deal with.

It was fast exp and quick missions and could even battle a boss in those bank missions. My question is this is it now worth doing story arcs besides just getting a badge?
    Story arcs give reward merits.
