    Procs work like that I believe. So if you have a +Stealth IO in Sprint, it will work all the way down to level 1. Not sure about damage procs, but imagine they would work the same (it's only fair, you're giving up enhancement of the power in order to slot it)

    I also confirmed that the Numina's Regen/Recovery will work as well (I took Health at level 20 on my /Regen scrap and it was still functioning on a Positron TF, the IO is level 42)
    There are three types of special IOs.

    Globals - This is a set bonus in function. All rules pertaining to set bonuses affect these IOs, so even if the power is unavailable for use, you can use them as long as you are not lower than the IO's level -3. These are all the perma-ability IOs that don't mention "for 120 seconds" such as the Mez resit Ios.

    Procs - Chance to do "X" - only works when the power is used. But level doesn't matter since it's not set bonus.

    And 120s/Proc-like IOs. - Same rules as a proc, but these all trigger every time, and have their effect last 120 seconds. All only affect YOU. Numina's Unique, Stealth Uniques, etc. are all these type.

    We will continue to get diverse, interesting writers. Some of whom you have already suggested. Keep on tossing names, and if you happen to personally know anyone of interest, please let me know.
    Hmm, how about Piers Anthony? Seems like his humor would be a good fit for this game.

    Folks, if you buy a real one of these for a Christmas tree, tip anyone who has to handle it WELL. They are the trees of spiny death.

    That isn't something for an app. they need to make a stripped down mobile skin (preferably accessed through a different URL so you don't have to switch to it back and forth when you view from a PC then a phone and back.)

    that towers over all, in eternal dark.

    Because, as I recall, it's proportional to the character's initial size...
  6. There is some PvP in this game, but that was never the games main focus.

    Costumes - when creating a character, you can make some really interesting costumes. Later in the game, you can change your costume for in-game money (the cost is a sliding cost based on your level). You can also earn extra costume slots (so you can change your appearance on the go). Costumes have no effect on combat power in this game.

    Heroside, you might want to try a Blaster (Ranged Damage/no real defense powers) or either a tanker or scrapper (both damage + defense types, with tankers having the better defense and scrappers the better damage). Defenders and controllers can do just fine as well, but tend to be a bit slower to start.

    Villainside, you might want to avoid the Corrupters or Dominators at first, but really all five archetypes villain side do well - City of Villains was an add-on to the regular game, so the archetypes are more soloable/ quick to go.

    I find it easy to get a team when I want to. When you first log in, the game will list the servers from Least load to heaviest load from top to bottom - which is an indication of population. After you have logged in, the server at the top will be the last server you logged into.

    Don't be afraid to create alts. It's part of the game

    Different powersets on the same archetype can make that AT play a lot differently - Ice/Ice blasters are a bit slower, but more "safe/controlling" than Fire/Fire, for example, which is all about damage.

    We like to answer questions here, and also :

    www.paragonwiki.com is the wiki for the game - great resource.

    Welcome!

    Edit: yay StarGeek! That chart's a good start. Do the names used on that chart correspond to the names on standard hex-color charts?
    It does, I think.

    You can always PM Altoholic Monkey here or on the RO boards and ask.

  9. Rem -

    To be fair, with the number of subscribers World of Warcraft has, there is also a huge difference between bow much "Loose Money" after maintaince, salaries, etc.
  10. It it looping again? or just louder?

    Either way, try /bugging it
  11. I think it would be cool to have a character creator - live preferably . Baexally let you select server/side/at, etc. All the way to tutorial Y/N and if no, AP or galaxy. No farther, but would be nice. And/or some tlbal chat app, perhaps. EQ used to have a standalone "IM" client you cold use to connect to the global channels.

  13. Also, any time travel badge will work - so if you get up to 40+ without it, you can grab any of the explores in recluse's victory. Or cimmerora after 35.

    Most boards would rather you search and revive an old thread than start a new one.

    But I guess that assumes a "constructive" post being used to revive it...?

    Still, even if it's *not* "constructive", wouldn't a bump of an old thread be preferable anyway in terms of not cluttering with a non-constructive *new* thread?

    Just curious...
    Part of it relates, I think, to the fact that we have had thread-necros of things such as original ED discussions, and people acting as if it's new. Also, it helps make sure some of the old really big threads can die.

    So you are saying the design intent of the mission with the Weakened Hamidon is to either take forever OR demand 5pts of hold from each task force member on a perma basis?
