Red Valkyrja

No, it affects powers cast on your by another as well. I usually have to turn it on when someone casts Fire/Plasma Shield on my characters.

And that's cool StarGeek. I'm going to have to try that. Oddly enough, it's not the circling waveform that bothers me, it's the little motes of colour in the shield that float around.

PP, Win7 comes with a screen capture program called 'Snipping Tool' look for it under Accessories.

I'm sure there's a video somewhere taking during the discussion.

Basically, "You see that city block across the street and the buildings behind it? Well, that's the next zone, and you get to it by walking across the street."

You would see it as one large zone, but you will still have load screens into the adjacent zone. I also recall them saying that you can see Emperor Cole's Palace, from every part of the Praetoria, and not some shadowy block like the buildings you see on the outside of the War Wall of Paragon.

Although I have my distance set at 25.

Then it's just a JUMP + RIGHT.

I get something new from the Devs every three months.

The EU version says 16+

/unsigned on the Immature Server

Agge gave you a quick workaround, you wont have to re-download everything. And I've read multiple posts from people in your neck of the woods about better connectivity when playing on the NA servers.

As for your characters abilities, you have to realize that your character does not start out über, it's a progression. Quite often people start with 'concept' characters. I know I did. Kinetics/Archery is not something I'd recommend to a first-timer. But 'concept' characters may not offer the best synergy as far as power combinations are concerned, and may be even slower starting.

Perhaps you can tell us what type of character you enjoy playing. Do you like the 'up close and personal, in your face, pummel then into the ground', or the 'sniper', or do you like playing a 'support' type?

The great thing about this game is it offers an almost unlimited supply of unique charaters. I don't think I've seen anyone mention it, but this game is not about hitting max level, it's about the journey there. Not to mention Altitis/Altiholism plays a big part, I know some people that have played for nearly the entire existence of the game, but have fewer than 20 characters, I've been playing for a little over 2yrs and have somewhere around 70, while there are others out there with several hundred.

But most definitely head down to the EU forums and ask around, I'm sure you will find people that are more than willing to hook up with you in game.



The search function will not show the people that are Hidden, or within an instanced mission. If you're playing around the same time that you are posting, or before, that's puts you somewhere around 4-8pm you time. That may or may not be too early for the majority of players on the EU servers. Perhaps a current EU player can chime in about that.

Edit: When it comes down to it mad briar, your experience is your own. We're not trying to force feed you the game, but the majority of us will try to give you all the information we can about the game, the people, and the ins and outs of the game so that you enjoy your dip into our pool.

An added bonus is Mod8 popping in here, and letting you and the rest of us know that he's taking note of your experience. This game may have been out for almost 6 years, but it has grown considerably since its release. And while there are hiccups, overall I have found it to me an exceptional experience.
