  1. That's not all you get. Fifty lashes with the wet noodle.

    And where I work, the wet noodle happens to be a 2.5 feet long piece of rubber (gotta keep the management in line SOMEHOW).

    Folks have been having issues with the NCstore recently.
    More importantly, as players we really can't help you all that much with issues in the store.

    Now I'm outside the mission, but stuck in and and unable to drop it. Hitting the "Mission" button on the nav shows the AE mission to be my current one. Hitting the "Architect Options" button in the nav brings up the usual dialog (with buttons for submitting comments and tagging), but the large button reads "Finished", and doesn't do anything, whether selected inside the mission or out. I can re-enter the mission via the AE portal, and exit it via the red square, but I can't get a new AE or normal mission as it says I need to quit my AE mission first. Logging out and back in didn't have any effect, nor has anything else I tried. Using the AE console works normally except that I can't start missions, and talking to the AE hologram quest givers gives their normal mid-quest dialog (with the only options being "Ask about this contact" and "Leave").

    Any advice?
    try /leaveteam

    Also, in that AE options window (with finished) did you make sure to scroll to the bottom to see if the quit button was down "there"?
  5. I've a Nostromo 52, and need to get myself back into using it. The wheel is digital, not analog.

    I do like the look of the G13. One thing that is cool about this (although I don't know how it works out in practice) is that it has onboard memory for the profiles, so if you go somewhere else, and want to play on their computer, you can bring just this and not need to install anything.

    450/(100%+(95+160))

    450/(100+255)
    450/355%

    450/3.55 = 126.76(7 seconds from perma )


    Couple other things:

    For max recharge simply divide the base by 5. (400% is the recharge cap For hasten 450/5 = 90 seconds max recharge)

    For finding out how much recharge buff is needed to make a power perma, divide the base by the duration (For hasten, 450/120 = 3.75 = +375%)
    400% is not the recharge cap. +400% or 500% (base of 100+400% from buffs) is.

    Slight but big difference there.
  7. If paranoid, replace them with F1 "unbind F1", etc.

    "Threat Identified MM/DD/YYYY"

    this would also work just fine for heroes gone villian too.

    Yes, but every single power in it was pre-existing. So yes, they had to assemble the set, and tweak the powers for the Dominator stuff, but even Earth Assault had more work go into it.

    Hey guys, if I make you brownies, will you finish Electrical Control? Please? (If not by GOING ROGUE, then Issue 18 would be fine.)

    I promise, the buzz will keep you awake and raring to go for about a week. Just let me know what alcohol you want as your flavouring and I'll send it up to Mountain View.

    aka
    Samuraiko/Dark_Respite
    I'll one up Michelle here.

    Unless this is released, I shall have the Brownie Godess kidnapped and held captive in an undisclosed location in another land (although, I would let her out on Fridays once THIS stuff gets going down if she is interested. Or if "The Play" is started up again this year down the street) until it's released.
  13. You've been great, Niv.

    I guess since you are not naming it, it's a non NCSoft company?

    help a noob day!

    www.cohplanner.com is a build planner site. Both offline and Online - don't think either have dual pistols yet, however.

    www.paragonwiki.com (alias wiki.cohtitan.com) is what you are looking for, I believe. It's the best for this game. CAUTION : DO NOT USE Wikia's version, virus/RMT'ers/Incorrect Info.

    AT stands for Archetype - Defender, Blaster, Corruptor, Stalker, etc.

    If you are looking for help on a character, try it's archetype-specific forum.
  16. Yes, daily limits are PER CARD for code purchases. Also, from what I understand, PayPal gets around this for you.

    Yes and No.

    Yes (If I get what you are asking)

    On this forum, only an admin can change a users name once chosen. Go to the Announcments section and search for the one about name changes - details inside.

    Now, if by titles link, you mean have a link be text other than the link itself, like THIS, on the post editor will be a globe&chain button that turns highlighted text into a link.
  18. www.paragonwiki.com is a good place to look up info. Even for fan-made CoH programs.


    Both the online and offline planners (SuckerPunch and Mids) are at www.cohplanner.com last I checked.

    I know it used to allow you to ignore animation rooting but that got fixed a while back. About the time they made it KB instead of KU.
  20. They would have to do some code changes/additions to make that work. Currently no bonuses affect/base off of other bonuses, only the base.
  21. You have three basic types of special IOs.

    Globals are set bonuses. They follow all the rules of set bonuses including turning off (except Purples and PvP IOs) if you exemplar too low, but the power can be greyed out and you still benefit.

    Any special IO that is a proc (Chance to) or 120s (and for 120 seconds after) only care that you activate the power. Other than slotting them sooner and any set bonuses you want, level doesn't matter, although if you are blocked from the power you don't benefit.


    There is one exception, and I cannot recall which one it is, but there is a 120 tha lt grants a set bonus. Can't recall which it is though.

    I used to. But then they changed it to Knockback from Knockup.

    I've been generic'd too. I was fine for several months but then I joined a team and kept saying the catchphrases as well, guess someone got irritated.
    They do not generic everything, usually. I had a character get generic'd (I knew I was pressing the line with his name), and all that was generic'd was his name.

    To the OP - if you for some reason have not gotten an email, a) check your master account settings, b) petition from the character, in game, and explain you had that character generic'd, and in order of preference, list three name choices.

This means you're not actually being compensated. Ergo, the pets either should reward their own XP or they don't cause debt.
    They might not reward more than Rikti lts, and they spawn as lts (as far as placement, etc), but they have Minion stats otherwise. They reward more than a standard rikti minion.
