    Yeah - with few exceptions, things removed from the costume creator are merely optioned out of the menus on the costume creator. Very rarely has there been outright removals.

    For the live patch, there shouldn't be any stealth fixes. And most of this is relatively small stuff - they might have another patch to hit test in the next day or so that they want to focus on.

    Slotted to ED cap it would do 173.2 but still only heal back 33.81.

    WANT SO BAD....SO BAD.....!!!
    I forget - is that heal back resistible? (looks at poison MMs)

    As has been mentioned, the pets don't benefit from containment - but Illusion and fire both had the least need for extra damage when containment was released.

    Fix it up a bit. Because no matter how you look at it, having a filter togglable just makes it look heavily like, atleast to me, that profanity is acceptable to an extent, despite the ToS.
    There have been times in teh past when words like "Fist" got put on the filter list (thus my joke earlier about seeing a character in the "@#$% of Justice" SG).

    Also, words like God & Jesus are in it, last I checked. It's not perfect, and can interfere with non-profane conversation, thus it's toggle-ability.

    The amount completed in the last 20 hours doesn't affect tip drops - if you do them, however, after the fifth for the past 20 they don't count.

    On a controller, right click on a power icon - choose info. On the window that opens up, choose "details" - in the list of power effects it will include one for about 20% chance to activate for 1 mag mez - that's the "Overpower">

    The only thing that works this way that I can really think of is KB, as Magnitude is the duration, effectively.

    I know he has only had a "I work for NCSoft, but not for Paragon" hobby interest in the game for a long time, so "real work" takes first place with him, but...

    Welcome back to the game, T_A!
    Note : While they are "level-less" they are built as level 30 or so NPCs, so it tends to be easier in level 25+ zones since you will have more powers available.
  12. Force of Nature is about as easy as it's hero side version.

    At least, it involves some more work but it's a lot less tedious to me :P

    Also, Invader is a nice, quick, and easy one to nab. And not level restricted like it's counterpart (TF Commander)

    It just as restricted as every other non-purple, non-PVP IO set.

    So yes, you can with Merit awards, or with 1 or 2 A-Merits if you are hero or villain and have going Rogue.

    Also - the TOS, and more importantly the GM staff, doesn't care if your chosen curse words are blocked by the filter when someone uses it, you can get slapped/banned anyway.
  16. One thing about telling people to use the filter is the filter has some words that are mostLy harmless, even added by accident. Just ask the sg the [#%*'] of Justice about it.
  17. Respecs that count as freespecs (/respec) :

    Dev-granted freespecs
    respec recipes (cannot craft on a character a freespec)
    bought respec (cannot purchase on a character with a freespec)

    Technical nit pick - it's not the fact that they have damage enhancement, but rather that in the entire set, each IO counts a damage enhancement as far as the power is concerned, even if it doesn't enhance damage (such as an ACC/RECH IO). The fact that they actually enhance damage doesn't matter. Otherwise you could not slot passives with sets with echarge, etc. In them.

    By the way, OP - what's your primary on that MM?

    You can change it once, and once only (note, sometimes your once might be reset, but don't count on it.)

    I just want to point out that sonfar the "return to praetoria" stuff seems to be incarnate related. There isna good chance that going, ike leaving, will be level locked and it could be higher than 20.

    Just so you know, as I recall having two accounts under one master doesn't automatically sync their billing.

    Only real way to change the billing date is to let an account lapse until the day you want it on.

    For some reason I totally forgot about that.

    Regardless, both were in at launch.

    Also : Issue arises if some but not all want to skip the Cutscene.
