They said they would never ask for your password in an email - or master account name.

They ask for more than they need. They ask for all that to make sure you are not "not you" trying to hijack your account.

I was able to give my last couple boosters (codes bought via digital store are emailed to you after they are applied - KEEP THEM!), plus my actual date of account creation PLUS what codes were on it.

That looks like a cut/paste from an email NCSoft sent me when I lost my 2nd account's login password.

As has been mentioned :

Anything NCSoft emails to you that is support related will show up here :

Knowledge Base/Ask a Question section of the Support site from www.ncsoft.com

Please note that although linked, the support account IS a separate account.

I'm frequently working when these are given out, and the chances of me getting there first on my iPhone are pretty much non-existent.

Really? You sure that's sound logic?

One example of this : Freedom, for various reasons, has a higher average server population. Therefore, it has has additional hardware allocated to it. What it can show as a "Green" dot may or may not show up as a yellow dot on the other servers.

We've also been told that if enough (but still a small number of) people did the "right" thing, they could make the load on a server skyrocket, so it would be wanting to keel over even without having a population near/higher than the others.

I was just about to link to that thread :P

Quick overview (general format) of the archetypes.

Hero :

Tanks - Armor/Melee AT - Higher armor (defense/res) mods mean it's armor powers are stronger than scrappers. Playstyle can vary widely depending on powersets chosen. All attacks generate agro in addition to the range-debuffing "Taunt" power.

Scrapper - Also called the solo archetype. Melee/Armor. Has a crit rate on all powers, which scales based on target's class (you crit more on bosses/lts/players than minions).

Blaster - Ranged Damage/Self-Support - Damage, usually at ranged. The assault sets tend to be a mix of utility, ranged, and melee powers.

Defender - Support/Ranged Damage - Buffs/Debuffs/Heals/etc, with blast secondaries.

Controllers - Mez/Support - Holds, immobilizes, and other mezzes.


Villains :

Stalker - Melee/Armor - has the powers "Assassin's Strike" and "Placate" in each melee set, Hide in each armor set. A rogue/melee burst DPS (also called "Melee Blaster" by some) set. But you can "scrap" somewhat too.

Brute - Melee/Armor - The "evil scrapper" which can also tank more than a scrapper with the right buffs (higher caps). Has Fury (as you attack/are attacked, you build up a damage bonus).

Corruptor - Ranged Damage/Support - Inverse Defender - has Scourge mechanic, a crit chance that only happens when the target is less than half health.

Mastermind - Pet/Support - Pet class, also envisioned as the dark side's tank, originally. Now shares it with the Brute. Bodyguard effect - When in Defend/Follow mode, nearby pets share the master's damage. Supremacy - When in Bodyguard range, pets get a Accuracy/Damage boost.

Dominator - Control/Assault - secondary is a mix of ranged and melee attacks with some utility powers. As you attack, you build "Domination" - when it's high enough, you can use your special click power to go into "Domination - when you enter this state, your endurance is refilled, you get mez protection, and your mez powers have extra magnitude/strength.Note, this is the only AT where the secondary is a second Primary as far as design intent goes - it has higher than usual modifiers for the powers in it's secondary.

Auto-hit except vs. Players, yes. Provoke still has an accuracy check.
Eh, except perhaps in edge cases, it IS inferior.

And not only is the scrapper versions single target, but are named different as well.
Nope, because the game is the same either way.

Mayhap you are thinking of the Guantlet/Punvoke effects? Tanker attacks have a minor version of Taunt (5-target aoe effect), but brutes attacks have only a single target (unless the power itself is AoE) taunt effect.

Pre-APP update, Focused Accuracy was the #1 reason to take body mastery (which seemed to be the number one taken APP) with Conserve Power a close (and synergistic) #2.

It's a weird bug.

If you had run Levantera's "Welcome to Vanguard" mission you would of gotten hundreds of merits.

How about both?

Worst PUG I was ever on had one of those leaders fixated on "higher level mobs = Moar XPEES = BEST XPEES" despite a few pf us on the team attempting to educate him. Mind you, this was back when street sweeping was common, pre-indoor debt nerf.

Most of us couldn't really hit much. I remember quiting the team after stating the leader needed to get some tactics. Either the real thing or even just the power

My favorites are the ones that expect restaurants to price match fast food places.

In my case, a pizza parlor vs. some place like pizza hut, little Ceaser's, or either of the papas. You know, a place where the pizza averages 20-25 for a family size, vs. some place that's doing "larges" for $10 or less.

It's situational. Very.

Not my fault! I'd never seen BBQ sauce before where "Fire Hot" meant "Combustible!"

And you had nothing worse than first degree burns.

That read like an attack from Earthbound.

NCSoft goes through 3rd parties in South America due to issues with credit card fraud, or something like that. And our fellow players' issues with that is they don't always offer all the boosters, etc, for City of Heroes.

He may of posted before me, but I replied before him!

Well, you could also stop drinking. I think I've seen your avatar pound about ten pints in this thread
