    There is even a whole forum dedicated for the Test Server here.
    Just as a caution - if the beta server is separate, then most likely the regular test server client will not work for it - if/when you get the email, read the instructions on how to get online carefully!.

    Two things - Check out www.repeat-offenders.net

    Also, one of the forum sub-sections is the server forums. Go to your server's forum, and there should be a list of popular global channels for that server stickied to the top.

    Instead, go to the menu, and click support. You'll find it a LOT easier to use.
    A petition title So bascially /petition <quick line about your issue>

    Same with /bug. However, /bug is not for when you need assistance (I do often /bug when I /petition, though, to make sure it gets on the bug list).

    Also, the /petition command gets you the same window as Menu - > Support off the health bar window gets you.

    edit: The PVP damage procs are all flagged enemy only, so only work on targeted enemies (including Player Characters).
    Thanks. Couldn't look it up in-game because the connection here at work is choking the download slow enough that I still have ten hours to go...

    Yeah, it wouldn't be half as fun reading your posts if I thought you important!

    ... Wait, that isn't what you meant?

    It depends totally on the call volume and how many they have working right now, but they tend to be fairly quick on these kinds of things.

    It was Feb. of either this year or last, I was delivering pizza and all of a sudden we had a white-out (that didn't even drop 3 inches of lasting snow, IIRC) and I almost rear-ended a mail jeep that didn't have anything other than its yellow lights on.. which is worthless in a daytime whiteout.

    Too many people where I live don't understand things like "Even if it's day time fog/snow/rain means TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS SO OTHERS CAN SEE YOU. Especially people that drive white or gray cars that blend into the scenery.

    The wrost thign about snow here is, in our little Valley, we don't get snow that often; but you would think they would of paid attention to the bits about bad weather driving due to the surrounding mountains frequently closing due to snow/weather every winter.

    According to the wiki, Pancea "targets" - so that should affect the targets of the heal, not you... but that sounds like sloppy translating.

    What Zombie man referenced was the fact that the developers are considering making the Challenge (not difficulty) settings affect merits. Currently, they do nothing (as far as rewards go). Note at least some Developers are of the mind that if the Challenge settings are ever coded to be able to affect awards of merit, failable challenges will not just increase the merit award; they should also decrease the awarded merits upon failure.

    Either that, or the fact they are working on setting it up so you can use the difficulty settings on a normal TF without being able lower the level of a TF to get it's Master badge.

    And test. So this time, it was the three west coast servers (out of six total) that didn't crash before.

    Which would be a la CoV. But I've noticed a lot of people that it will be a la Issue betas, where it's the standard test install, blocking non-invites.

    Basically - anytime a mob spawns due to defeat/player actions (which all of the above do) it ignores the bosses setting.

I want to make the character female. I only have 1 costume slot currently, and I happen to have no badges that are gender specific (say, Mystic Queen vs Mystic King, hero side).

    I'm wondering if a gender swap at the surgeon for my character model will use my new gender for references in mission text and in future Badges? Or will I always be stuck with the male versions of the Badges and mission text?

    In other words, am I still male?

    Does anyone know a low level easy-to-get villain badge that is gender specific, so I can check? Are there any NPCs that always refer to your gender (Sir or Ma'am, etc)?

    If I am still considered male by the game, I may delete and remake, even though I'm no longer low level. Blah.

    Thanks,

    Lewis
    Pretty sure all gender options reference your current costume's gender, regardless of when you get them (such as badges)

    Have we had confirmation that this will be done a la issue beta testing, and not a la City of Villains beta? If the later... the test server(s) will not be pulled.

    kinda like a NIC card, right?
    It might be the "Architect Edition" - I just always think of that box as the "Architect Entertainment" edition.

    And you want POST tests, not NIC cards.

    I just want to say/add 2 things.

    I don't dual box, but I do multi-task, so I have this enabled to make it easier to do other things while the game is running.

    Also, if you use the slash command in game, it resets every time you restart the program - it's a non-permanent setting, and the only way to "perma" it is to have the command line edit for a the shortcut.

    Even if you cannot find a box for cheap, if you do enjoy playing, buy the "box" edition ($19.99) from the NCSoft Store - as Willowpaw mentioned, it includes the free month, so worst case scenario you are paying 5 bucks for the pack, instead of 9.99.

    This holds true for all the "goddie" packs with a matching box (mainly, after 1 AE edition and the GvE, the Mac pack).

    Note, you can only apply the AE edition once. I recommend the Magic booster (first).

    The person is getting it backwards

    Combat suppresses it (thus, it IS a travel power ) but currently it is not slowed by Stealth, the pool power.

    Almost reminds me of that Dentist/Lawyer/Soccer mom who is leading one of the "Obama isn't a US citizen, no one has seen the proof" despite Hawaii's Governor (who is republican, if that matters) has verified she saw the actual birth certificate (IIRC) and the records office of said state faxing a certified copy.

    Blue Wave did note that this wasn't present.

    Anyway - doing it once, during an off time, doesn't really mean much. maybe 60 players who would normally be on had internet failure or some such.

And during the start of the Holiday Event no less. So even appreciating the gift of server transfers given us, I'm curious how it will pan out.
    Which doesn't count the other side OR anyone on hide. Or the time of day.

    Step one - delete the checksum file in the foder.
    You might also want to go into the subfolders and delete that pigg file. Try again
