  1. And don't forget to host it somewhere you control.

    You never now when someone might find out you are leeching and swap it with something like THIS. That's what a friend of mine did to a guy leeching bandwidth off his website to compete at eBay sales with him.
  2. My guess would be "no" - as that would make it no longer "reflective" for those not using Ultra Mode.

    It's not just glasses, but posture/demeanor as well. Plus, he's on record as needing Lois's help to open jars of peanut butter.

    No, the issue is "register with the government" and privacy. Things registered with the government tend to be accessible via public info requests. At least here in the US.

    But such agents wouldn't be "registered" they would be recruited. You wouldn't find them on any lists, due to things like "plausible deniability," etc.

    Do they? I get the feeling most people seem to regard JJ as a sensationalist/a person in a love/hate relationship with Spider-man.

    And most heroes in don't go the Judge Dread path, so that would help them as well.
  5. contact support then.

    Or, if you have a paypal account, see if you can't use paypal.

    Playing a high enough level forcefielder is the same - turn on repulsion field, then walk up to enemies next to a cliff (Such as the Wall in Cimerora).
  7. Some notes :

    Armor sets for Tanks, Scrappers, and Brutes USUALLY include some kind of agro aura. Either a DoT aura, or for willpower (as an example) there is Rise to the Challenge which debuffs and taunts nearby foes without doing actual damage (while boosting your regen).

    Willpower isn't a bad starter set - this is probably the only armor without a heal (unless you go stalker) I would say that. The others without heals are a little more tricky to learn, usually.

    Most sets follow some basic rules for their secondary effects. Fire is usually more damge, Ice, slows and control, dark -to hit and control, earth -defense, etc (as far as foes go).

    One big things about this game.

    Each archetype has it's own modifiers for buffs, controls, attacks, defense, etc. So the same power set will play somewhat different between different archetypes.

    Defenders and controllers, for example, both have the forcefield power set.

    Defenders Deflection Shield gives a 15% bonus to the defenses it buffs, vs. controllers only giving a 11.25% bonus. But Detention field - a control power - is half again as strong for a controller vs. a defender (as far as what foes it can affect).

    Unless it killed you first.
  9. Yeah - while there is now that five level window for exemplared power availibilty, that has not changed IO set bonus rules at all.

    To check:
    Look at your game files. If it is called CohUpdater.exe, then I think you have the US version. You'll need to go back and download the EU version (which I believe is called CohUpdater.EU.exe), which you can find HERE.

    Both versions use mostly the same game files, so you shouldn't have to redownload much, if anything at all. Simply replace that file and run it again from the same directory.
    If you do this, make sure to delete the checksum file (coh.checksum IIRC) before running the EU updater to make sure it re-downloads as little as possible for you.

    20 and 33% (IIRC the percentages right :P)

    They don't care about each other, so they can also go off at the same time. I'd call it roughly a 40-45% chance one or the other would go off.

    Low income or not, you're still spending the money. You're telling me it's physically impossible for you to sit on however much it is until the sub renews? If that's the case, perhaps this money could be better spent elsewhere.

    Oh, I read the OP. Your objection just doesn't make any sense at all.
    I have poor spending control. Maybe the Op does as well?

    Lately I've been VERY good at getting my bills out of the way. I recently changed my direct deposit to split my main paycheck (second job is irregular/bonus money as far as planning goes) between my regular bank and the bank with my (new) car loan but in such a manner as to build up a small reserve over time.

    The rest of my money does tend to fly out of my wallet, though. On things like fast food, money, and just stuff that is a want and not a need. It can be easy to erode away a large sum with a buck here and a buck there if it's money you know you don't need for a need.
  14. Paypal.

    Usage of paypal for the payment method will charge you right away, IIRC. The only possible delay would be the charge from paypal to your bank account - but that's just standard paypal and bank transfers.

    EDIT : Buying Game Time with PayPal

    You would want to make sure to choose 1-time billing, not recurring. That will cause an immediate charge. When I last used paypal for this, the recurring billing was not an option

    It's completely unnecessary to "fake" old-style quote-within-quote pyramids.
    Also, you can hit "Quote" on the last one you want to quote - it will add all the multi-quote selected posts in.

    So far the only official word on mission/contact changes is i17s extra mission slots in the mission queue.
  17. Just to make sure - you were all (the team and the prospective invitee) in the same instance of the Rikti War Zone, right? Not some in RWZ 1, and some in 2?

    Binding 2 Emotes

    Correct - this is often recommended for Shield characters for this reason.

    Also, you could set up a Rotating bind - this would require two key presses.

    Combine with the fact that only the Masks are needed for the badge, and you often find BP minions and lts. but no Masks during the day.

    I said "devs had to fix bug because they created a bug".

    Any inferences you make beyond that are your own.
    On the flip side, it wouldn't of had to of practically been a stealth patch little/no testing that corrupted the texture files if people hadn't been exploiting it.

    That it exists? That's not any customer's fault.

    That it was brought to the developer's attention? Customer informing them.

    The timing on the fix? Totally various customers' fault.

There are always going to be farms, and people using exploits to gain certain advantages. It's part of any game. Live with it. Let them do as they will, stop it when you can, delete the farms as they appear, but stop messing with the game structure just to try and nerf them. It always seems to cause some sort of stability issue, and honestly in the end you end up with more players angry that you bugged their game than those angry that you nerfed their farm. Just some food for thought.
    Actually, the funny part is the Development and Community teams reacting to a) tell us a workaround, and b) fixing it on their end. Every other game I've played would leave it on the "to-do" list.

    Ten years later, it MIGHT get fixed. By accident, when they introduced the bug where the clouds actually fall out of the sky and kill you.

  25. I don't see why not.

    Mind you, it's not unresistable speed or anything so you still get hit by Granite's major speed/jump debuff.
