    But are you asking about bona fide bugs or just serious "issues"?
    Paragon Protectors have always spawned at the right level in Manticore!

    The issue is for some reason ELITE Paragon Protectors keep ending up in the Spawn call table, and they start at 40. Thus, spawn at 40 on the 30-35 TF.

    But, weren't the early arrivals refugees from that war? What if the war never happened, or it did and was over right away - no time for refugees?

    Yay! Enema Arrows AND Telepathy!

    Or would it just be the Arrows, cause of CoH Cadmus?

But with SSK I can easily SK both of them and not be penalized when they're not online. It's a far better solution for me than SSK, frankly. I don't want to PL them while they're playing Rock Band.
    SSK doesn't let you into Taskforces. that would be the main reason.

    In fact, you could say his curse is that he isn't, but only thinks he is, cursed.

    Best server

    As far as editions and bonus packs go :

    They all use the same client.

    Many editions have a "goodie pack" associated with it. The edition, if bought from the website, will be 19.99USD and include a months play; it can also create a new account. The "goodie packs" are 9.99USD, does not include any play time, and can only be used to upgrade an account.

    One place you might want to try is www.repeat-offenders.net - a Three-server coalition, and we usually have something going on as long as the servers are up .

    Yes. No. Don't forget wrapped in duct tape.

    * Why do they hold Costume Contests under a guy who... let's face it... isn't wearing a costume?
    Irony.
    Quote:
    * Was that one Freakshow who wanted to be grafted to a car told by the Devs that in-game vehicle travel powers was never going to happen?
    No. Because, really, you DON"T want to see an 8' metal monstrosity cry like a young child who was told their puppy was run over by a car.
    Quote:
    * Where does the waste water from the Pocket D bathrooms go? Where do the waterfalls in Ouroboros come from? Are these questions connected?
    No. Yes. Mauve.
    Quote:
    * Considering the average height of a Red Cap; how many of them wish that their boss's name was Jack in Trousers?
    No clue, they don't talk very well after arresting them via Mental violations of an extreme nature. They do drool a lot though.

    * Does the United Nations condone the Longbow presence in the Rogue Isles?
    No one objected after Ms. Lib convinced her Praetorian self to visit them.

    When they figure out how to not have the crew slaughtered like the last one they sent out.

    * How do the In-Game characters explain those heroes who can have the Valkyrie cape at 1st level? Is someone in the Cape Rewards Bureau taking bribes?
    Diplomatic Immunity/Grandfather Clauses.

    * If Synapse scuffed his feet over a carpet at superspeed would he explode?
    Only if he is wearing his jammies.
    Quote:
    * How many cans of Glade Air Freshener were necessary when Positron first took his suit off?
    All that is known is it involved a box, and a cat. Possibly.
    Quote:
    * How many euphanisms for intimacy does Manticore have with references to bows, arrows and bullseyes?
    None, at the moment. He's married, and smart enough to know when to shut up.
    Quote:
    * When Manticore introduces his wife as "my little Sister Psyche" how many people call him a sick freak?
    The ones without the hands in their pockets. Well, some of those too.
    Quote:
    * Does she call herself Sister Psyche because she was a nun who broke the habit?
    No, it's a set up for her mind control abilities. See above.
    Quote:
    * Swan, Sister Psyche... Why is it that all the women who can read minds wear the skimpiest, most revealling costumes?
    To make it even harder for guys to hide their interests. Also, see above.

    Note that Global IOs (these are not procs - the "Chance to"s - nor the 120s - The ones that give a benefit lasting for 120 seconds after power activation) are special set bonuses. With (IIRC) the exception of the Mez resist IO which is a proc/global hybrid, all globals function even if the power they are slotted in is no longer available, but cease to function if you go 4 or more levels below it's level. These are the KB protection IOs, LotG recharge, etc. (Their effects will also show up in the list of active set bonuses.)

    PvP Recipes

    And I seem to recall that once you get a PvP IO to drop, that the receiving character has to wait 10 minutes to get one from ANYONE.

    I did misuse a "to" where a "too" should of gone, and maybe even then I wasn't quite clear...
    I'm referring to them releasing a few sets so case specific, they DON"T DROP. Instead, you would have to purchase them (somehow) using an existing form of currency. Snipes could very well possibly be moved to this rare category.

    GhostFalcon does seem to be their main bug hunter.
  15. Actually, what I think would be interesting is a few sets for powers like Followup, or Build up, that are a bit to case specific for standard drops, so instead must specifically be bought (Merits, AE tickets.. maybe a couple vanguard themed ones?). It would be cool, for example, to have a set or two that enhanced teleport magnitude.

    If so, here's a guide to help a bit with that. Old, but still seems sufficient.
    Also, if you are trying to add a sig pic, you cannot use the upload form - you have to use the IMAGE tag links.

    Also, just dropping an AoE on some near, but no in, the area you need them in and dragging them there works.

    Their "arrest" merely has to happen in the correct area, they don't care about where the npcs spawned.

    IO Sets

    Might there be a distance cap on far back KB can knock you? Possibly related to the KB corpse nerf?
  20. Also, if they allow that kind of linking, Picasa might be good if you don't want to worry about another account to remember and have a Google account.

    Depends. IIRC, the bit about irresistible KB is that KB resistance doesn't apply - which is different that KB protection.
