  1. Also, this kind of question - Technical Issues - goes best in the "Technical issues and bugs" forum of the "Development" sub-forum.

    Most of the people here (there are some exceptions) do better with questions about stuff in game.

    Hyperstrikes request about the hijack this log is a good one to get and post (In the technical issues forum, there is a sticky titled something like "Help us Help you" - er, common solutions and posting guidelines I mean)

    That being said; I really liked the original Robotech series, GitS, Ninja Scroll, Appleseed, The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight and even some of the CN fare (Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal and Samurai Shamploo).

    There's a lot of new powers that can be found in some of those *hint, hint* (Naruto is good for that)
    Yeah. Sacred Blacksmith is 95% okay for kids, I'd think, but there's that last five percent... not overtly sexual in context, I'd say, but having it in there and not censored would definitely fall into fan service with nothing on... (main female has an inverse Lina Inverse problem...)
  3. Stalkers don't have the same crit chance.
  4. It can happen, I think - there are two ways for a stalker to crit.

    Hidden status, which gives something like a 50% chance to crit on AoEs, and the team crit rate, which is 10%+3% per nearby teammate.

    Don't know if there is much of a difference villain side, but heroside they use different enemies for the higher ones.

    Also, you can run lower level one and get the respec three times, if you wish (assuming you are 34+ when you run for the second and 44+ for the third) or wait and run them one each, etc.

    I've friends who wait hero side since it gets them out of Skyraiders.

    Smart buggers they are. Figuring out they can climb on each other - or else how would they reach the buttons?
  8. I recall being able to use my "jump jet pack" from the GvE edition. Then I ran along the wall top.
  9. All level-less monsters have a level - for scrapyard, IIRC it's 25-30. You only notice it at a point when the mob gets easier even with the level scaling code.

    For example, invasion rikti with the code are a base of level 30 - which combined with the number of powers a low or high level character has is why they are a bit harder or easier for the lower or upper level characters.

    I know his followers are level 24. If you can take out an even level AV you have a /chance/ (but AVs are +4, GMs +5 to their level)

    Why the heck would they want to make it hard for you to buy something?
    you should only need minimal security to SELL STUFF!
    It's because of things like hacking an account, using it to buy stuff and then they make money. When it is found out, not only does the NCSoft have to refund the fraudulent charges but if the bank was brought in by the customer then NCSoft can get fines and black marks.

    Kills by your teammates on the same map as you count, even if they are too far away to award any XP.

    Run the Synapse TF - pretty much a promise at the badge even if you start from zero (each prince spawns 3-5 gears).

    Also, I'm fairly sure the badge doesn't count Psychic Clockwork gears.
  15. At this point, I'm certain that all mission-granted badges required by accolades are available vial Flashback in Ouroboros. For the OP - Flashback is a system that lets you go back and do story arcs and badge missions you missed. It auto-exemplars (part of sidekicking) you down the the max level of the mission's level range. Which may restrict powers available to you if you end up adjusted more than five levels below your max level.

I most certainly didn't have the time cards that I originally used when I bought the game. And since both my brother and I bought the game, I didn't know which box belonged to who's account. It was kind of a mess, but I managed to get everything unlocked with support via email in only two communications.

    Best of luck to you.
    They ask for the moon, but settle for less They just want to have some basis to restore th eaccount.
  17. If by "started playing today" you mean you're on a new account (trial and/or full new account running off the "free month" of gameplay) you won't be charged further - as was mentioned - if you check under the game account, it's sub status should say "none". If not, just hit the "Cancel Sub" button that should be near by.

    Also, IIRC, due to it "power queuing" when you make them (I know it does when you use them) - the last command in those lists (for the red skittles, the last one combines awakens) is the first that will try to execute, then the next, etc. If I'm wrong, it will be the other way.

    I'm mentioning this because that lets you reorder the commands in the bind chain to use what you use least, first.

    help is not a "global" chat channel. It is existent only on the one sever, but does cross between hero, villain, and Praetorians.
  20. Be ready to get help, er, helped - especially since you found the forums. Rift's community is the most like ours in terms of friendliness that I've seen, but I still think ours is better

    Don't be afraid to make alts - the games "sidekicking" system artificially matches yours to the team leader (no mission selected/entered) or mission holder's (if selected mission does not belong to the lead. ) to make it easier for all to game together and still contribute.

    Masterminds can be versatile especially if pick up the macro/bind system, but are still pretty good out of the box. If you need any help on binds you can ask here and check out the wiki - search for /bind (note www.Paragonwiki.com and wiki.cohtitan.com are the same site)

    Also, when you log in for the first time, you are assigned a global handle - it's based off your character's name. You can change this under the menu, once. This handle can send and recie e global (cross-server) messages. Many have it match their forum account display name (I do) and many don't - your choice. To use it the format "/t @Handle," note the @. Also, as names may have spaces (global and character) the comma after the name is always necessary for tells (coming from other games gets many people with this). Also, global messages (last few "received") you are sent while offline are stored until you log back in.


    Have a good one, I probably should get back to opening the restaurant...

    To make higher level ones, you'd have to change the names to the higher level skittles, of course.

    Well, from the wiki :

    Combines three of a kind of first argument into one of the second argument. Example: /insp_combine "Insight" "Catch a Breath"

    So for a bind you'd be looking at (with your own choice of "/bind Key" in front of them) : (These taken from Storyteller's "Slash Commands, Binds, & Macros, Oh My!" guide in player guides)

    Inspiration Combine Commands

    "inspcombine enrage insight$$inspcombine luck insight$$inspcombine catch_a_breath insight$$inspcombine respite insight$$inspcombine sturdy insight$$inspcombine break_free insight$$inspcombine awaken insight"

    "inspcombine insight enrage$$inspcombine luck enrage$$inspcombine catch_a_breath enrage$$inspcombine respite enrage$$inspcombine sturdy enrage$$inspcombine break_free enrage$$inspcombine awaken enrage"

    "inspcombine insight respite$$inspcombine luck respite$$inspcombine catch_a_breath respite$$inspcombine enrage respite$$inspcombine sturdy respite$$inspcombine break_free respite$$inspcombine awaken respite"

    The Case of the Missing Cereal

    “Most of our cubes come with a cupboard. My particular cupboard houses several boxes of cereal, some snacks, etc. – just in case we have a global emergency, I have food for the entire studio. So I went to grab some cereal for breakfast and pulled out the first box (I had four) and it was empty. I kind of did a mental, ‘Nice going, Mel. Can’t be bothered to throw away your cereal box?’ and then picked up the next box. I may be lazy, but I’m not THAT lazy.

    Someone had poured out all of the cereal and put the box back (empty bag inside). Then I grabbed the next box. And the next. All gone. To this day, no one will fess up to it. I’ve accused both Second Measure and Positron, but neither will cop to it. Some have tossed Television in as a possible suspect, but he hasn’t admitted anything. The case remains unsolved. I had to go out and buy some more boxes of cereal.”
    Reminds me of this
