  1. Only procs that don't as I recall are the confuse and placate, IIRC.
  2. S/L is never bad to build for. The defense power in DA, Cloak of Darkness, is all types and positions, so it will stack with either positional or typed set bonuses.

    Recharge helps as well especially with dark regen (and consumption if you have it).

    MA probably had the biggest changes, but from what I recall it was a lot of small changes (attacks speed up or stats raised/lowered to a tad more favorable).
  3. For special IOs there are three types (or 2.5 if youn want to call it that)

    Globals : This includes things like the Steadfast special IO - the effect is described as simply "Grants Effect" with no mention of chance or duration - these IOs grant set bonuses, thus always affect the owner of the power. For non unique globals (Luck of the Gambler Global Recharge, KB protection IOs) the set bonus rule of five applies.

    Procs - says "chance to" - this will state either "Target" or "caster". All caster procs should affect the caster regardless of target (see Theft of Essence accurate heal proc); target will always affect the target(s) of the power.

    120s - Includes all the uniques in the regular heal set IOS -always affects the caster, like a proc the power must be activated for the IO to work, and is permanent in auto powers like health, on for the duration of a toggle, or for 120 seconds after a click is used (depending on power it is slotted in).

    Not sure if that will help but feel free to give it a try
    Not sure if they've moved past 11.6 yet, but for a number of us even grabbing from AMD's site 11.6 (11.5 also) was bad in game. I'm using 11.4, others went as far back as 11.2.
  5. The point accrual has already started, and time cards are still subscribing, although I'm not sure if those half month cards will mess anything up - they shouldn't.

    what I got is the person asked if he must use the free-play slot unlock tokens on a slot already unlocked for VIP play - and the answer is No. If you have just the base 12 VIP/basic sub slots on a server, go free to play, you do not have to unlock one of those 12 slots on that server, you can choose to unlock one of the slots locked when you are VIP.

    This seems to be how Terra is seeing (and answering) the question, as well.

    It seems to vary, although maybe I've just been lucky with the 11.4, but 11.5 & 11.6 are both dangerous to your ability to play.

    Game Crashing...

    First thing to do is open the NCSoft launcher and right click city of heroes and doing "Repair"

    Ditto.
  10. What action are you trying to bind to it, by the way?
  11. Have you tried to map it via the keymapping UI the options menu? It should tell you exactly what name the game us giving that button.

    Also is it a middle button or mouse wheel button press?
  12. Nice chart. Only issue I saw off the bat is "Mom" from futurama is depicted as the exame of a "No family" villian but she has kids.
  13. I know those arent that similar (20.5 + 21 vs SWG) - the comparison just came to mind.

    As for the October or later date - that's being inferred from a comment to someone in a chat about will the player get a certain veteran reward that the current system has out in October for him.

    Zombie has the better way if just because his will account for any changes you've made (I remove broadcast from "Chat" for example. Dont need it twice.)

    Why? I mean, pulling that stunt worked so well for SWG...

    This.

    It's not a bad idea to add that in even without multiple accounts running.

Since the Test Server is considered a different account, maybe I'll try running 4 instances to see how it goes.
    Go crazy next time they open up the beta server - run 6.

    That's good, because the overall picture is exciting and dynamic, it's just the portrayal of Sister Psyche's reaction to a crisis that really let's it down.
    To be fair, BAB won't a) get people like TehHippeh below ( ) or b) complaining why she didn't just make a giant forcefield over Galaxy City

    Wait...
    Being psychic just means mental powers in the comic book world, usually (like Sister P) a telepath or telempath (thoughts vs. emotions, although many blend the two). The future is precognition - which I don't think Sister P is (or retro-cognition, the past).

    Elsewhere in the now is clairvoyance.

Maybe this is one of those, I dont know. You decide. Also, I like pie.
    Welcome back! It's been awhile. I remember you.

    You might remember me. Not sure if that is good or not. I was using the name Leech at the time though (Might of been LALeech before the old forum name purge)

    Incarnate Exp?

    I recommend the bind :

    /bind I "toggle Incarnate"
  21. ANd I recall a dev mentioning somewhere (think it was Positron) MMs and (presumably) Controllers will unlock automatically after you have X amount of rewards tokens - you don't have to spend them.
  22. I've both on both sides of the bug, and I know I've never even clicked on Null.

    Just remember to pass the star back before the missions ends so your team doesn't exempt down well below the original leader. (guilty of having this happen)
    Works better than my "Quick Kick and Reinivite" method

    They mentioned both badges would remain available.
