    As for gifting, I personally don't know how that is handled in the NCSoft store.
    It isn't. You'd either have to a) create a new master account, and buy it via that, then send them the info, or b) in some way send them the 2 bucks.
  2. Apparently having one or more "box codes" grants one extra reward token.

    Note -

    You get two slots and a month for buying it now. As well as some costume bits that otherwise I think you have to buy separately.

    Note this is the Complete Edition I'm talking about, not the slightly cheaper expansion.
  4. If you have Superspeed, Teleport, or really any fast movement, you might be able to hop up to where rommy spawns between him and the nictus, breaking the "leash"
  5. If you are at 15-16, I recommend Faultline for heroes. First contact is Jim Tremblor - to get to faultline, go to Skyway South, and head south from there. From the zone entrance head South and a little east, go past the donut shop, he stands in front of a monument of steel beams.

    VEAT Costume bug

    They know about the backpack thing - it's a tech limitation unfortunately. The costume can't discriminate between builds.

    The eyes thing is better servered in Noble Savage's "All things art" thread.
  7. Another trick is if someone on your team is being attacked, the default bind to select a teammate is Shift + the number on the team window. This, combined with how auto-assist works let's you generally attack who's wailing on them unless they are not targeting the mobs attacking them.
  8. I remember getting the impression that then Shard IS. Rularuu - or a piece of him - being used to imprision himself.

    The way I read it was :

    Subbed going into July - 400pts
    Then on each month's "bill date" (the date you'd be charged if Doug a monthly sub) - 400 Pts.

    So you could have a total of 800 for July.

    So if the OP want subbed right now, and subbed today, he should get the 400 Pts.

    Considering the fact that she offering the op the aura mission, I'd go with Kalinda.

    Yeah, sucks that they force us to use up a power selection... wait, they don't... nevermind.

    There is still plenty of benefit to it.

    however, because it always restores you to 50% health it means that an emergency dwarf shift at the end of every crash mostly negates negate the "WHOOPS I DIED" part of it as you maintain the mez protection and lets you pop ageless destiny to restore your endurance and heal yourself (and then pop light form if you're teetering on the edge of keeping it permanent)

    if you're a humanform only peacebringer it might be wise to take dwarf form as your very last power if they don't change how the crash on light form functions from now to live.

    it's a really strange design phenomenon, and i very much wonder if it's on purpose.
    I'm not sure if their engine allows them do do things like "50% of current health", etc. Used to cause issues 9still does I think) with PPs and Moment of Glory.

    But then again, if they had to take it down because Oberon, King of Avalon demanded it, they'd still say "for maintenance."
    Especially since in the modern world, it's nearly impossible to ring the knell of his defeat in order to get him to keel over.

    Objects unique to a faction belong on the faction page. Especially those nasty runes.
  14. Admittedly on Windows, but I don't know of anyone (and I've AMD as well) that had 11.6 running right. For me, it was constant "snagging" vs. full rubberbanding, and my cpu usage doubled while running CoH under those drivers.

    Most likely because of that very fact. They wouldn't want naturals getting both with bonus when others could only have one.

    Unfortunately, since I chose before they revealed you'd be able to get it later, my magic scrapper has neither with bonus damage - the Staff weapon is too much fun.

    Actually, sounds like exploiting a game mechanic to me. Yes, the timer not starting until both groups are dead is an intended feature, but not so you can then go clear the rest of the map.

    Exploits include things working as intended and/or designed being used in ways not intended.
  17. Madame Nemesis -

    CALM DOWN

    It's a beta TEST. The purpose of such things is to have thing break now, so they dont break later on live. Don't take anything that happens that isn't from a

    Beta tests are not (according to the real/traditonal meaning) preview event.
  18. Welcome.

    Hope you enjoy your stay.

    Just an FYI, but the official official wiki for the game is www.Paragonwiki.com

    Yeah - when given the choice between the Nemesis Staff and blackwand as part of the 33 month reward, tech/sci origins get a bonus with the staff, Magic/Mutant with the wand, and natural gets the bonus on both. You don't get the shot at the bonus damage when given a shot at the one you didn't pick later.
  20. Example of non-obvious origin - Flower Knight. While she supplements it with gadgets (part of at one time the system had a primary/secondary origins) she is identified as a magic hero because her archery skill is bestowed upon her by her bow.
  21. Magic and tech origins' ranged brawl deal energy damage, and thus allow a TA to ignite the oil slick. Especially if their other powerset lacks any form of energy or fire damage

    Only if you want to stereotype. There are examples of magic origin type aliens in comics and such.
  23. The dark set shields obscure your character, unless you mean nearly cloak of darkness.
  24. My guess is it's tied to the badges you get for leveling, and iirc praetorians have unique ones.
  25. Enhancements still work when you are dead, fairly certain. And you can target dead bodies. I do it all the time.
