    I'm well aware that I can shut off signatures altogether, I would just rather there be an option to just shut of the irritating image portions of them.

    I would like to view posted images.
    I would like to view text signatures.
    I would also like to not view image signatures.
    One thing I currently find sucky, is the line limitation. You cannot have more than five lines in your sig. Currently, sigs like mine and brickster's are too big to pass the check if we want to merely change one or two things.

If I bought another 18 months, that's one six month prepaid time non-recurring subscription through paypal, and another 12 month prepaid time non-recurring subscription through paypal, I'd have 62 months paid time (thanks to the additional months free) and would qualify for wave 1 closed beta access.

    That's how I read it anyway.
    All I have to say is - when they did the "veteran" inivites for City of Villains beta, in the end the time requirement required "Past and Played" months - it did not count any months paid for by/owed to the player. You couldn't buy your way into the CoV beta like that.

    Differential treatment why, exactly?
    Note, it's different companies. At least, as far as who has your personal info is concerned.

    Are EU players offered a 12 month value to begin with? (US player here, so no clue :P)

    I do know, for example, when Piazo Publishing originally took over Dungeon and Dragon magazines there was a huge mess in Europe due to the various privacy laws and one or two other bits.

    In theory.

    There is a little tab in the bottom right corner that you can turn off recipes you don't have merits for and recipes you don't have materials for (I think it is those two). Just want to double check that tab.

    It says "Hide recipes missing ingredients" but in the vendor's case, the ingredients are the merits

    Targeted AOE Buffs, the only one I can think of is the MM upgrade, which is only that MMs pets.

    Vengeance.


    And as for buffing sets for solo play... Dark Miasma and Trick Arrow have n o powers you must have a teammate to use - Dark Miasma's Rez can be used without a defeated teammate as a stun

    Storm summoning's only "teaming" power would be it's single target heal (which also gives some buffs). But, if you are playing an "Anything but mind control/ controller" you can get full use out of any set whose powers require a teamed living ally after 32 (controller pets).

    In addition, the command /chatsave will change how those chat tabs are populated, even to the colors you use.

    /chatload will load them, such as if you zone and lose colors or load up a new toon.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Note, if the chat server seems to be going nuts, I recommend making a /chatload macro.

    How do you do that?

    The only ones I can think of that fit this are the buffs from the Mayhems/Safeguards.

    All buffs (and debuffs) on the caster at the time of casting are transferred to the attack.

    [/ QUOTE ]Well, that's true for most but not all pseudopet summons.

    True, but those are the few exceptions to the rule.

    HOWEVER, during events (like Double XP weekend, which is coming up next weekend), getting into those two servers is nigh-on IMPOSSIBLE.

    [/ QUOTE ] That is just flat out not the truth.

    OP: While they do fill up, getting on Freedom and Virtue during double XP weekend is only impossible if the user is brain dead..

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Never taken me long at all, popping into one of the non-grey server's character select screens then back out to get a it to open back up.

    Not only are people logging in and playing all the time on DXP on Freedom, but people are logging out for RL reasons too.

    You know, I've only ever seen that power core room once, and that was on my Defeat Positron mission as my Thug/SS mastermind. I can see how that room would get annoying though.

    [/ QUOTE ] There is at least one Kill All Knives mission that can have a map with that room assigned.

    Got it on my Mastermind, once I saw it, and tried to deal with pets, KoA, and that terrain - I just left and dropped it.

    Cake rooms don't bug me much. Clear the area by the door, then jump down and work my way to the top.

    Because sets like Dark Melee were triple effected by a "Defense (All)" power.

    Smashing, Negative, Melee. Against the Sky Raiders back in the day when it DID work like this, meant a single Force Field Generator = floored accuracy for the Dark melee Scrapper.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Actually, I think it was just double - which was still pretty harsh.

    Originally, I know the bubbles in Forcefield had no positional defense, and I am pretty sure the FFGs were based off FF's Big Bubble.
  21. Yeah, search is definitely not a way to get hard numbers on server pop.

    I just might do that. No time at the moment though. Got real world stuff to do. So, looks like I stay logged in and inside the mission while I'm out. I am not going to run through this entire mission a second time. I absolutely hate kill all in Council Base missions. Those are the worst. Kill all in Council Base and click multiple glowies? Those are the worst too...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That, yeah, nuke the mission! No more Kill Alls in :

    Lets remove every arbiter and trainer but Orr, Back Alley Brawler, and Swan while we are at it >.<

    c) I don't like hard copies. I'd rather have digital ones, they don't get scratched, if you lose it you just d/l it again, if you lose your activation code you can have it e-mailed to you once more, etc, etc, etc...

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Even if you do buy a box version, it represents a permanent upgrade to your account. You don't need anything to reinstall, regardless of whether you go with digital or hard copy.

    However, getting a physical copy has the following advantages with ZERO down-side:
    1) You can re-install or install to another computer faster, since you don't have to download almost 3GB of data.
    2) The Good vs Evil and Architect box versions give you a 'pack of goodies' (costume parts, powers, etc) that normally retails for $10. Also, you get one free month of game time, which normally costs $15. That's $25 of value which you can easily find a copy for around $20, sometimes significantly less.


    P.S. The Good vs Evil box gives you the Good vs Evil pack, while the Architect box lets you pick either the Cyborg or Magic booster packs.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The online "boxes" from the NC store also give you those goodies For 20 bucks. Although, at this point, it is not uncommon to find GvE for less than $15 in a brick-and-mortar.
