"Deflected" is just the game's way of telling you that the enemy's defense was what caused the miss. Slot for accuracy and you'll beat their defense more and see "Deflected" less.

[/ QUOTE ] Specifically, defense from sources it makes sense to have caused deflection - Defense from sources of movement, like Super Reflexes, causes "dodged"; can't recall what "It hit me but didn't hurt me" like Invuln. gives.

Our character data is on each individual server, yes. If it was all on one server, it might be too much for any one server to handle with all the trades, xp, inf, and everything else changing constantly. That's why there is a different system for global chat... another for the market... another for AE...

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats another good point to make. Its possible that its just simply too much data for all the characters to be stored in one server. However, couldn't you just add more computers to the cluster serving the data to compensate?

[/ QUOTE ] Sure, but then you'll open up ways to manipulate the data and cause massive duping to occur.

Plus, just imagine the data lag between all the servers. Check out how long it takes Leveling Pact XP to apply to your character, then think about if it did that for every single aspect of your character.

Having the data on the same server that uses it is the best idea.

[/ QUOTE ]Just to make sure, you do realize the "entity" referred to as a server (such as freedom) is not a single system but a cluster of computers? That is part of the reason why it's possible to have a zone, but not the whole "server" (or shard, that's part of the reason some places prefer to use the term shard over server), crash?

Heh, good one Demobot.

If it was a emergency maintenence then they shouldnt have put a announcement out saying that information would be found here on the forums, and then give us nothing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, they might of hit a macro - and forgot it mentions "SEE:FORUMS if INFO:NEEDED"

If you notice, very few things, if any, that give toxic resistance have it enhanceable.

I want a Yo-Yo powerset.

Each attack will be a cool new move with my yo-yo. And there could be a hold where you get tied up with my yo-yo string.

My nuke could be where I spin it around at max speed and strength. It won't break because I have the strongest yo-yo in all the land (Crey made it).

It think it'd be cool!

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, so you want to be Sekuban Deka?

I thought the limit was 2 billion (2^31) for a single character.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is. Which also means you can bid, at most, 2 billion for anything in the auction house. Including things which do not exist in game yet are listed in the auction house. And money in a bid is not money on a character. So, 2 billion x (No. of auction house slots +1) is how much wealth, tops, a character can have access to, but no more than 2 billion at a time.

i was replying to Nerd_Rage before he edited leech. hence why the re says re: Nerd_Rage.

[/ QUOTE ] Sorry, the bus was pulling up to the station

One very good resource is the wiki - www.paragonwiki.com

Also, don't be afraid to ask specific questions here.

There is also a Player Guides forum, with indexes - might be good for you.

Search tip: Use -"re: " to see just main topics, not pages of replies. <-This really helps with this board's search engine.

Also, the GUI has a bug right now, and tries to send help channel help to /help - which now brings up the Help menu - to talk in the Help Channel, type /hc.

Also, before using the help channel - Go Menu > Options > General(default) Tab > Chat - and make sure to have it set to Show enemy chat (Broadcast and Privite, there are two options to enable) before using /hc since the help channel is server wide and cross faction, and last I checked the game defualts to hiding tells and broadcast chat from the enemy. There is one about local chat, but leave that alone because I know that defaults to showing the other factions chat.

I still wanna know how

/bind LSHIFT+LCLICK

causes something to happen when pressing

LSHIFT

by itself. That seems like there's a bad assumption in there somewhere. In this instance, no, it's no big deal, but it might cause some really Bad Things if it isn't tracked down.

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably because LSHIFT and RSHIFT don't chord. And maybe something recently changed it's behavior on when you do try to chord it.

Have you tried changing it to SHIFT+LCLICK and see if that works?

[ QUOTE ]
if you use the second build all the lv's are already there. you dont have to lv up again, just train through the lv's.

[/ QUOTE ]Come on Quint, you are normally beteer than this. He is saying that something happened to his Original build which used to be a fully leveled up widow, but now shows that build as only trained to level 1 after switching back.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, so my friend just recently told me that last issue, the devs nerfed smoke, so the to hit debuff was taken off after you attacked the mob.

[/ QUOTE ]

Easily tested in game. Get one of the analyser temp powers (they don't cost much at all) and use it on some random critter. Then hit it with smoke. You'll then see if there's been a change.

edit: I remembered I had a rarely played Dom that had Smoke on him, so I went in and tested it. Here's a screenshot. I did not attack the luddite and the debuff still affected it.


[/ QUOTE ]Did you mean after you DID attack, instead?

The only change I can recall recently was when (MA I only?) mobs attack, it supress THEIR -perception effects on players.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't like some of his replacements, but that's probably because I've become accustomed to some of the "incorrect" icons that the replacements just don't feel right.

The EF/RI fix is pretty nice, though, even if I did get used to the wrong versions with them, too.

[/ QUOTE ]Of course, one of the cool things about his icon fix is you can delete what you do not want.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes. As long as it has a Visa logo, it'll accept whatever.

Unfortunately, the ingame store ONLY utilizes the credit card on file, so you MUST have SOME kind of credit card on file to do anything with it.

[/ QUOTE ]I thought they had finally set it up to use paypal as well?

[ QUOTE ]
Damn... Personally, I don't care about this feature. It doesn't do anything for me personally. But shooting it down for that reason or "some idiot might be an idiot" is simply lunacy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not if you go with the expanded version:

I play this game to have fun. If I have to petition for ANYTHING, I would rather not be forced to wait because of some idiot being an idiot in a way now prevented.

This would be their own choice, and agreeing to a disclaimer,


[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, the innocence in that statement is truly charming

Trust me, a disclaimer means nothing, after all, "You CAN make an exception for me, though! A) IT wasn't my fault B) I've already kicked out my roommate C) I've never asked anything of the CS staff before! D) I PAY YOUR SALARY!.

[ QUOTE ]

My argument is that is should be an option to those who want it and available through Account Management.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you are saying it's worth saving a few seconds of your time, on occasion, to have them go through and set up another in-game store?

Because seriously, the store in the character select screen (not even full in the game) is the ONLY thing that goes and queries the Master account as to "Y/N?" currently.

[ QUOTE ]

I know the Air superiority one goes in Hover and fly, t should go in group fly, but don't quote me on that.

[/ QUOTE ]

There is no Air Superiority set, that's the attack in the Flight pool, Wikked.

[ QUOTE ]
Pretty sure they only have stealth IOs for the travel powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, yes, I just found some information about it. I wasn't familiar with it until just now. It's a rather special kind of enhancement I guess. A bit confusing about where you can put them and how they work exactly. Freebird: Stealth could be put on hover, air superiority, fly, or group fly? It will activate whenever you use one of those powers and add to your stealth for 120 seconds?

[/ QUOTE ]

Each non-generic IO belongs to a set - and each set belongs to a set category. When hovering over the enhancement, this is usually listed just above the set bonuses, as I recall.

Freebird lists itself as a "Flight" set.

Now, in the enhancement screen, hover over any power and it will list :

Enhancements Allowed : This applies to generic, non-set enhancements (generic IOs, HOs, T/D/SOs)

Enhancement Sets Allowed : This heading only applies in powers that take Set IOs (Rest does not any Set IOs, and does not have this section for example) - if it lists flight here, it will take Freebird or Soaring.

Air Superiority does not accept Flight Set Enhancements, but Hover, Fly, and Group Fly do.

EDIT : Now, the power Sprint takes both Jumping and Running IO sets - as such, you can put either category's stealth IO into it. This can help save you money.

>_> Do I have to do something other than open my options window to do that?

[/ QUOTE ]

Open your options window and scroll all the way down. You should have three "Save to Default File" buttons, one for chat setting, one for window settings and one for options. Saving them all creates three default files which will auto-load onto every new character you make, and can be force-loaded onto old characters.

You can also make a default keybindings file that will load onto every new character, but that's best done FROM a new character, so you don't end up with, say, a bind for Fulcrum Shift on every new character you make. This one is under either Controls or Keybindings.

[/ QUOTE ] To note - Chat and windows have their buttons in one order (Save then Load, I think) but options is flipped.

Panthera - That's what I was thinking. So I guess I'm just going to have to find it myself. I appreciate the response!

[/ QUOTE ]

Please note, some options/combos/parts are no longer available.

For example, my original Defender and scrapper both use what was called the "Pointy Ear Head" - back before ears became a detail. This head is no longer available, and there are no matching ears (the pointy ears where more human looking, kinda like Vulcan ears, compared to what we have available). As such, unless I don't mind loosing the ears, I cannot change the costumes or he looses his ears.

One notable instance is the malaise pants - those are now NPC only, so if you got to the tailor and save the the costume, they are gone.

And the bonus from the Kismet unique can stack after zoning. Often I find myself with a +12% tohit right after zoning into a mission. But it drops down to the original 6% within two minutes when the oldest version of the bonus expires.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much all non-stacking-from-same-caster buffs do this. When you zone, it recalls you had this-or-that buff, but forgets who it is from.
