    Yes and no. They do email the whole code to you, after you apply it. This is for validation purposes in case you lose contrl of your account and need to contact support to regain control. They ask for First CD Key, and first payment method and method number (So, inyour case, you might want to note your card type (Visa, Amex, etc) and the last four digits somewhere in case you change card numbers.)
  2. Part of it is because the system was set up for when all of NCSoft's games were not Free to Play - and had boxes in the stores. It is (in part) an anti-theft thing.

    Also they hope you forget to cancel if you don't like it so they can keep you subbed but all the businesses do that.

    This, if the OP has yet to buy points.

    Could of sworn they'd fixed that already for psuedopets.

    The trials are not supposed to drop shards - just threads. But they have dropped shards occasionally.
  6. Traditionally procs slotted into pets fired for every applicable power (to-hit debuff procs in to-hit debuffing powers, etc.).

    So in theory,each of the VS's attackws would have a chance, and it would vary on each attack's recharge.

    Or not work at all because they are not marked to be "ATO" powers.

    To be fair, a global accuracy buff is something kinda new. It wasn't until Issue 4 at earliest, but I think it was still later than that. It was when they changed/nerfed Focused Accuracy (which was originally all To-Hit).

    If he has finer control over it than just "Red square is now blue" then while sure it's not a great "superhero" power, it could be incredibly useful for artistic endeavors.

    Details man!
    In one of the Xanth books, one of the characters litterally had a"spot on the wall" talent.

    Many many spots.

    And the fun part? That was during Xanth's "Demonstrate a magic talent or be kicked out of Xanth" era for humans.

    That is what more I want.

    To the other posters, thank you on the clarification on xp boosters and windfall, it is greatly appreciated!
    You are confusing things. The Fire & Ice sets are not part of the market, and not bought with paragon points. The Rewards system uses Tokens. And those parts are available on the website for a peak (they could add a shout out in the description, I'd agree). They do not add costume parts to the tailor for preview if you cannot buy it to prevent confusion and taunting.

    Basic rule of gaming math : Multiplication is done as a value of the base number added in
  15. Each lore pet on a different tier is a different pet even if it shows up on a lower tier.

    Now if you go from Lore Slot to Lore Abilities (linked at the bottom), you will get a nice chart with checkmarks and such listing what you get and with what bonuses if any.

    Click the title (Ally, Core Ally, etc) and it will take you to a more detailed listing such as this one for the Carnival Partial Core Improved Ally
  16. Hit Check Roll = (1+Accuracy) * [(Base ToHit + ToHit Buffs) - Defense]

    Isn't this more correct? As your example would have acc multiplying by to-hit before the defense is accounted for.

    Does it? It's the same as the Stealth IOs, and I thought mids had those set up for exclusivity already.

    Or is that one of the dirty hacks/workarounds you mentioned that was implemented on a case by case basis?

    Based off what is happening with tankers, it seems that in a Circular AoE (such as every single single target power is for tanks due to Gauntlet), it's straight division (although I'm not sure if the system sets up for greater than 100% chance to proc before the division) so things that should be 100 are coming out 20%.

Epic fail, and I never ran one after that.
    Are you talking Scrapper, or Stalker? For one, it think most of the toggles (at least one of them) on a stalker now suppress when hidden, so it doesn't mess with stealth.

    For another, Scrappers don't get a proc in the ATO sets. Scrappers, Khelds, and Mastermind's special ATOs are all globals.

    And while I have not been scouring the blaster and stalker boards, are you just referring to how the proc/min works? If so, that's the same for all ATs - with the exception of the bugged/edge case for tankers.

    Look what you did Bill. Your "I'm baaaaaack!" post broke the mapserver.
  22. Which server? All of them? One of them?

    What message?

    Server down at this time would be "Something is Wrong" downtime.

    I still haven't gotten around to collecting them all and putting them on a website for ease of use.

But being denied the opportunity for furthering character advancement is pretty hard to swallow.
    Are you denied (by the game) the ability to run iTrials? If not then it's not applicable.

    It would be like me complaining why my new i22 character isn't level 50 yet. I pay my sub - is my sub worth less than those that do already have level 50 Issue 22 characters?

    Also note it's an average proc rate. It's not hard capped at Xprocs/minute.
