    I wouldn't mind re-downloading it, but I don't want to get banned, either. I know a lot can change in 4 or 5 years, and I saw some of the others I used to use are now listed on their sites as being 'banned'.
    I don't recall if the EULA language has changed, but said mod is still winked at.

    Forum question.

    TonyV - I seem to recall the original issue was Z, or his immediate predecessor, was trying to be helpful, and get them to set the logout to 30 days. SOMETHING in that broke something in the system, and not only was the change reverted, but that's when they put us on the "8 hour session" with the borked(? At least, we've never been told it's intentional) cookies that are self-terminate on browser close.
  3. There is no symbiotic armor.

    Bio armor was given a Soon™ ETA on beta though.
  4. It'd be more impressive if he had the names looking the same without numbering them.

    Smurphy did it with his nemesis clone project. 8 Thug/Storms...

    Just one of those is something like 18 entities at once.

    She hasn't been around as much of late, but she's still known.

    Hyperstrike's been around long enough to catch the reference.
    How's she doing now days?

  7. When ruling an evil empire, DON'T leak the plans of your almost completed mobile planet-destroying weapons platform.

    Just finish it, and wipe out the rebel base(s).
  8. And my Elec/Shield Scrapper is one of my favorite characters. Me like.

    Also, if you don't mind a little bit of math (not much at all, really) the basics of defense and how it interacts with accuracy stuff http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Attack_Mechanics

    And if no one has mentioned it yet, if you need some info, www.paragonwiki.com probably has it (aliased at wiki.cohtitan.com)

    Which makes 2 posts, out of nearly 30,000 over 8 years, we can pin on Arcanaville. And the Null the Gull issue wasn't really math or mechanics related. So... yeah, pretty much whatever Arcanaville says, she's right

    I've just never heard of it being an issue here.

    It used to be fine with changing IPs. If they're worried about the password being jacked, well, they're the ones that made us use the same for the game.

    Part of my issue is I go out and about at work, which has wifi.

    So I keep going from Wifi->Cell->Wifi and have an IP change each time (even if just between the same two).

    IIRC, stopping the rise of Fascist Citadel copies.
  12. I have no sympathy, but then I duo's the last half or so on a Dark Scrapper without the Psi shield and was paired with a fire tank.

    We lucked out begging in /b after clearing the last mission to CK, and a highlevle loaded us up with big insps
  13. Note - even if I follow paragon studios, currently it will not showup under "Following" either on the iOS app OR the website.

    Green Lantern for example.
    Another example would be Full Metal Alchemist - the state alchemists are given names relating to how others in the Government see them.

    The Flame alchemist was potent with fire. The titular character had prosthetic limbs made of steel.

    THe thing that made it bad was there was a lot of Multi-part missions that counted only as 1.

That being said: I can't find the paragonstudios channel on the Android client, it only shows up in my browser. Is this because it's not currently streaming? I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
    Ditto. Although in my case, it's cause I'd like to watch at work.

    Sometimes people earn a name/have it bestowed upon them. I believe Superman is such an example.

    So someone gave your character a nickname and it stuck.

    Anything marked "VIP CONTENT" works that way, in the market. Rewards Tree, once you claim it it's your's till the server goes down.
  21. Also, as far as Vorpal goes - the teleport effect is because they can't figure a nice way to get a "charge" attack in.

    That's the only reason why Shield Charge has the teleport.

    Note there have been instances of characters (Sloth from FMA:Brotherhood comes to mind) where a big slow tank type is able to move FAST.

    And usually comes to a stop by running into things, not capable of turning. In the comics/cartoons I recall watching, Juggernaut was able to get moving, but only in straight lines.
  22. One big thing to note about the ATO sets - each one has a 8.75% (or so) Global Recharge bonus in the standard set. This goes to a standard purple recharge bonus if you make it superior.

    This is why if you close the browser and then immediately re-open it you will have to log in again.
    There is also apparently some security issue solved by having a session invalidated if you have a change of IP address.

    After all, NOBODY posts from a mobile web device.
