    Turns out I was misremembering the fact that wolf spiders were merely agressive. I was just wondering about the type of venom.

    Sounds right, about the Daddy Long Legs.

    The big reason, I think, that the widows are feared is a) that coloring is kinda a danger sign to most people, instinctively, and b) the younger ones are more dangerous. Adult venomous insects ration their venom. Immature ones tend to spend it all in one bite. Also, kids tend to get everywhere, and thus are more likely to get bit, and smaller bodies have less mass to diffuse the toxins.

    Thanks!
    Whenever you have any issues, check the Developer and Community Digests under the development section of the forums for any announcements, like the one linked (and then copy/pasted) above.

    No reason you couldn't watch the videos. That's the main one - the first and third have some info too, but it was mostly this one. It's linked to in the Hero Con forum.

    At least Alt was consistent.

    And at least it wasn't the constipation/incontinence mixup (I so hope that guy READ what my ex-co-worker gave him...)

    When the defaults change, it doesn't affect already created characters. Was it an older character?

    Chat Windows

    Go to a properly set up character.

    Make sure all the settings like teleport prompt, etc, are set the way you like it.

    From the Menu, Options. At the bottom of the first tab you will have a section about saving and loading your chat, window, and options settings (be aware, the last has the buttons switched compared to the other two).

    Hit save on all three, and new characters should follow those preferences.

    On your messed up character, then go and either use the slash commands, or the buttons at the bottom of the Menu->Options window to "Load Window" and then "Load Chat" settings.

    Wrong. It increases the chance to hit by 33%, which is very different than adding 33% to the chance to hit.

    So? Just becuase an animal or insect has venom, whatever kind, doesn't mean that it WILL bite.

    Don't Wolf spiders have a rotting venom kinda like brown recluses?

    Just keep an eye on the Community Rep and Developer digests in the Development section. You will see a post there when the store adds the expansion.

    Yeah, it's the Dyne lab map.

    Yes, we can purchase the extra items separately once it's finally released, but it still wont give 30-days of time, which makes it cheaper to just wait for the actual release.

    The only reason to pre-buy is if you want to have the new powersets ASAP.
    Yeah, the balance is do you want early access by a couple months or a month of play time after you get the box in July... That's the main difference between the expansion-version w/ the goodie pack purchased later and buying the CE.

    But no, they've never done a general forum name purge, and I doubt they ever will.
    Actually, they have. Once. Right before the global chat system went live - it was basically a purge of all pre-release names that were inactive, IIRC.

    Used to be in the help section, but I can't find it.

    Forum Cartel is the highest at 10K+ posts, I know that

    The Combat Attributes section is not under menu, but rather of the "Powers" window attached to your main power bars. At the top of this, in the blue bar, is "Combat Attributes".
  15. One thing about server status - shouldn't be that hard to pull in the feed they have for that. It's on the main site's server status page.

    Except Orcs, especially in one of the RTS Warcraft games. Pink orcs just say "I'm badass and coming to kick yours".

    New to game

    Player Questions under the Player Help sub-forum is a good resource.

    Another good resource is www.paragonwiki.com (Some people link to wiki.titan.com, same site. Due to viruses, etc, avoid the wikia.com wiki)

    Most seem to think blasters (ranged damage) or scrappers (melee damage) are the best starter heroes (recommendation : Avoid the science origin for now, heroside, due to the Vahzilok are a bit tricky to get hit with right away) and Brutes and Masterminds as starter villains. These classes all solo fairly well right out of the box.

    Enjoy

  20. That notebook is usually in a small cardboard box behind the containers on your left when you enter a large kind of open room with another room on the right, and straight ahead it will dead end. This room has a roll up door. Please note that both this bigger room and the slightly smaller one off to the right will probably need to be cleared (they are both "one room" according to the game).

    Apparently not considering about an hour (at most) after Whisper's post, je_saist edited hers (his? *shrug*) and the quote Whisper has shows different wording that what is in je_saist's post.

    So, I'm sorry to say, there is only one word to sum up your criticism.

    FAIL.

    Which is why I recommended a try-out But Logitech and the other gaming-oriented gear companies' products are a lot less likely to have these sorts of issues.
  23. If you have applied the AE edition code as an upgrade to your trial account, it should of lifted all the trial account restrictions from you, while leaving you your trial time still intact. if it hasn't, contact support via the plaync.com website.

    It sounds like just as with all the other recent boxed releases (Mac/AE), buying the full thing will be a much better value than getting the preorder and then upgrading to the full set. Paying less for more is hardly something to gripe about. All it is costing is the ability to play the new sets early.
    Depends on how much you value being able to play the sets sooner as to which is the better buy.
