    Please note - the main bit to catch here is "Three SOs" - the bit about 100% can be misleading because of the fact that although many powers are what they call schedule A (SOs give a 33% boost if schedule A and even level) others give (sometimes vastly) different amounts, and ED was set up to work around Three SOs, not 100%.

    For the most part, Two single-aspect level 50 IOs are equal to three even- level SOs (IOs have a percentage based on their own level, and does not vary. Thus you cannot out level an IO, although you do gain the ability to slot more powerful IOs as you level.)

    I don't think Europe has separate phone support. Even if they did I doubt their days of operation would be any different than here, so you'll likely to have to wait until Monday to resolve this.

    Actually, I would be surprised if they didn't - European countries have a bunch of privacy laws that don't necessarily play nice with US laws. One of the reasons why most companies have a subsidiary company for EU.

    Does anyone actually have any idea how badges will work? I seriously DONT want to lose my 500+ heroside badges, but I would love to be able to get the hero and villian badges....

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If you check the badge listings at places like Vidiotmaps, you will see that the vast majority of badges have a Display Name, and a "V." Display Name - what you see depends on if you are a hero or villain.

    See Redeemed and Villain badges.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Good point. If there's a corresponding badge for the other faction the name may simply change to the other factions when the switch occurs.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    tech-wise, there is no "corresponding badge" - each badge has two names. Depending on if you re tagged hero or villain though, decides which one gets shown.

    Respecs would probably be an exception, but Respec badges are funny to begin with (remember the whole "You have to have an Unused/then used respec" issue for the unlock-able contact when it was first available?)

    Thank you 7th. do you know what side and AT it will be under? Do you think it will be like the gunslinger in malta, or mor on the Gun Kata style people mentioned waaaay back when players first asked for it?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Demon Summoning will almost assuredly be a Mastermind primary (not that it matters much, since you'll be able to switch sides at some point). Dual Pistols will likely show up in a few different ATs, and will probably be more Malta Gunslinger than Equilibrium.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Desdemona seemed more Corruptorish to me... but Demon Summoning makes A LOT more sense for a Mastermind.
    Also, everyone should note that new powersets were NOT officially announced. They are highly likely, however =]

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Corruptorish because of the fireblast?

    Masterminds get attacks too you know. And Demons have that fire thing going on.

    The ones listed above are technically against the EULA, I think, but the devs turn a blind eye to them because they're helpful to players and quite well made.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The only one that violates the EULA in that grouping is Vidiotmaps, as I recall. Only it modifies the client (through the addition of files. It is a modification, you do change the end result [game client] even though to undo all you have to do is delete the additional files). But Vidiotmaps has always seemed to get a wink from the developers.

    Glycerin, IIRC, uses Herostats.

    Herostats, last I checked, reads the chat log. And provides an overlay - but so can steam. IT doesn't change the game - nothing illegal there.

    And mids is a planner. Only Marvel would have issue with it.

    Also there is Vaden's Icon fix - which you can grab from either the titan network or vidiot maps - can't recall which.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    the Vidiotmaps pack does the same thing as Vaden's icon fix pack, it adds files to a directory that are read instead of the normal game files, which is a normal function of the game. The use of the pack doesn't violate the EULA. The way they got the maps to make the pack, however, does.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh, I know Vaden's pack works just like vidiotmaps. Just throwing it out there

    I believe that someone found mention of a Spy AT. No guess how they'd work (stealthy Blasters?) but if they are coming, then they'll either be available to both Red and Blue, or be a Praetorian only AT.

    There has been no mention of a Spy AT recently - most recent I think is that old survey from last year.

    is there any other game where devs design / scenarise themselves as semi-gods(rockstars)? this is the only mmo i ever played, im from rps. Just asking.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    To be fair, it's the other way around.
    The signature characters were initially developed for promotional/gameplay reasons and THEN adopted by the devs.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Most, yes, but Statesman? No.

    Statesman is Emmert's old champions character.
  17. I did post it before, because I cannot find it, but I could of sworn I saw an interview/article that mentioned being able to choose an AT then starting in Pratoria, letting your choices there decide your moral compass.

    See, Positron DOES pay attention to things. Granted, in this case, it was very much a "what the hell did he just say?!" thing, but he does pay attention. And he even took notes!

    Which means Posi was either a total geek in high school/college, or he learned way early on that smart gamers always write down weird stuff the GM says so you can call him/her out on it later.

    Samuraiko, you played a DnD campaign with Posi, and didn't realize until now that he 'might have been a geek' in high school?

    I confess to being one of the few dev fangirls who does NOT rabidly seek out every detail of the developers' personal lives. Matt may well have been a gaming geek in high school, but I didn't ask him that during his gaming session (I was too busy fangirling over Sean Fish, to tell the truth).

    [EDIT :: BTW - accounts that are "banned from sending e-mail" by the "spam" button in the e-mail window, are only "banned from sending e-mails" temporarily. Apparently, their accounts aren't even closed. So as soon as their "banned' status is gone, they can start sending spam e-mails all over again.
    And, as many know, the gignore space is far too small to handle all the RTM e-mail spammers - let alone the players that we are /gingoring for what ever reason we individual felt it was necessary to do so.]

    If you hit Spam, it sends it through a quick-petition process.

    The ban is perma if upon review the GM see it has been spamming ANYTHING, not just RMT.
