    $$ is for chaining commands together. In addition, from what I recall, you don't put spaces before or after $$.

I probably still won't actually want them, but as a matter of principle, this is very, very good to hear.
    To be fair, Z seems to be calling them "ATOs" - but I vote for "ATEs"

    I would have been happier if the answer was, "Sorry, we screwed up" rather than, "Lineage II>>>City of Heroes." Get it together, Paragon.
    Come on, Dump. It's not like CoH has a dedicated web team and they were pulled to work on L2. It, like many other big companies, has always shared a web/server team with all the other NCSoft Games here in North America. If it was flipped, they'd ditch L2 forum maintenance for CoH server maintance.

    To put it another way - if your nieghbor hits your car, comes back later and has your paint on it, if there are other things goig on - robbery, drug bust, etc the Police you pay taxes for WILL back burner you (happened to a friend, 12 hours until someone came by to take photos and that was being done as a favor to the assigned cop by another cop).

    If L2 had tried to schedule server maintenance after our forum's had already been announced, theirs would of been moved back. But it was totally unplanned.

    I've wanted a towel cape ever since the cape preview video Cryptic showed us had it.

    And did the part I made bold make anyone else think "Carol Burnette"?

  6. Yes, I'm pretty sure Claws is incompatible with Titan Weapons

    No, I know what you mean, I don't think so - TW and Shield is a resource thing, mainly, combined with aesthetics - none of the others would have a good reason to get "TW-blocked"
  7. One quick thing to check with, however - if you want to see if a power can be perma, divide it's recharge time by five. Recharge cap is +400%, so if you divide by five and it's still above the duration, it can't be perma.

    It used to list "Paid Time" - this was time billed from a subscription or time card - and veteran time - this was everything including refer-a-friend bonuses and box code free months - and for me was accurate. Now it just shows Paid time.

    Not certain, but I think the new system doesn't count "free time" - reactivation bonuses, box months, etc. So even though I'm about at 7.5 years, the NCsoft page now just lists 7

    This kind of sounds snarky to me. So the plan is to do away with female specific pieces altogether?
    He's being honest. They only get so much time to work on a set and making a female specific part cost much more time than making a female version of what they are making for males because they have to remake the items for the female rig.

    Proof of perqs?

    For the most part, other than certain powersets, the only things that VIPs get that are not unlocked for premium play via the rewards tree (by tier 8 being completed) are :

    1 - Epic ATs but you can buy an unlock in the market

    2 - Incarnate System is VIP only no IFs/Ands/Buts

    3 - Ditto about SG registrar access (Create/pay rent on a base, create an SG). You can have a VIP member pay rent however. Everything else for SGs is open (including base editing unless they change that later)
  12. So you went and made sure the "Allow Multiple Instances to be Run" box was selected, hit apply/okay, and it won't let you start it up a second time?

    "Back to"? they are not out yet, so you could not of been using them, and on top of that, all of the ATEs are Unique (on top of being restricted to a single archetype), so you could only have a max of one set of them on a character anyway.

    I'm not really sure what mine is currently, but I'd rather have it than "VIP".

    EDIT: Ah, Renowned. I'll stick with that thank you very much.
    I've it set to show me as VIP and I have my title (Forum Cartel)

    Apparently there is some issue with vBulletin nd how they have it set up here *shrug*

    Might want to double check your billing summary to make sure - under microtransaction - on your NCSoft Master Account.

    Sounds like the load sharing issue, not the cookie issue

    Because I never really heard much complaining about the art (except for CO and that is mostly about one of it's removable filter effects) for those games.

  20. Dark sets.

    Going to have to re-exile my tank so I can roll a controller on Exalted - got a Dark/Dark Rajani Isa on the other RO servers already (Scrapper, Defender, and Blaster; the blaster is working to join the other two at fifty was we speak).
  21. When looking in your email window, there are three tabs.

    One of course is email. The other two are Account items and Character Items.

    Account Items are for the whole account (i.e. all the old veteran rewards such as the powers and vet specs are account rewards)

    Character Items are for a single character (i.e. all the new "paragon rewards" that are based off market items are character items and like buying them from the market are claimed once then gone).

    [/pedant]
    Point in case - the upcoming Archetype Specific Enhancements are Attuned, but the basic version (they are apparently "upgradeable" to a superior version) is tradeable.
  23. It's moving towards being fixed. My bill date is the 7th, got my October points on the 12th, November on the 9th, so I'm expecting my December points on the 7th.

Eventually my buy orders get filled, and eventually I craft the new IOs, and eventually my build gets better by a percent or two. *shrug*
    Sometimes I'm in a situation where I know I am about to outlevel enhancements, and fast, and would rather have a small bonus than none, and will buy high if need be on the market for 20- IOs.

    I do have a limit (generally refuse to pay 50+k on a common salvage item any tier) but I also hate holding up the group.

    Incarnate Info

    I also recommend binding the incarnate window to a key (I choose I)

    /bind I "toggle Incarnate"

    Helps you get to it quicker when looking stuff up.
