  1. My Kin/Arch was my first character, and I found Archery to be 'okay' until I understood Frankenslotting. She is far from being IO'd out, but a friend recommended that I place some Proc's in the quickly cycling attacks.

    Procs can make a big difference in the fun factor of Archery. Such as...

    Devastation: Chance for Hold in Snap Shot
    Gaussian's Synchronized Fire-Control: Chance for Build Up in Aim or
    Decimation: Chance for Build Up in Snap Shot or Aimed Shot

    There's more, but it really depends on if you want to maximize damage or gain a few seconds against your opponent.

    But really, it comes down to what you get out of the set yourself.

    It's likely because when you boot her, she is still in the mission instance. I've seen it happen pretty consistently when a friend on my team logs off, while still inside the instanced mission.
  3. By the way Stalemate, did Smite pay you my winnings?

    I heartily recommend watching Equilibrium, great movie.
  5. As for finding out who you are compatible with, I find that it takes very little time in-game to realize if you are going to connect with someone, or not. Usually a couple of missions.

    I personally need no compensation for helping someone find their way in the game and answering their questions. I consider my Globals to be my 'Support Group'.
  6. Thanks Wolfie, I actually played her like that all weekend too.
  7. Level 39-41 right?

    Hmm, wont be any of mine then, closest I have is 35.
  8. I made a Halloween Costume for my main as an entry int to S&FA forums costume contest.




    Actually, I've enjoyed using her on several occasions in the CPCC.



  9. I'll look for mine.

    I've got it and I'll 20mil for it, but I would like to donate it to Stalemate for NWPN events.

    Just think, if you put this much effort into protecting your own citizens, you too could have Utopia.

    I cannot fathom why people expend so much energy fighting something because they do not understand it, yet turn a blind eye to the crime and violence in their own backyard.

    Yes because the election of government officials has never allowed greed, power-mongering, cronyism, and corruption to flourish.

    Any QA Left?

    How many programs on your computer get updated once or twice a week?

    An MMO is constantly evolving, one of the Dev during HeroCon answered a similar question in one of the panels. CoH has more than 1mil lines of code as stated by one of the Devs on the panel, and that what causes a particular bug may not be directly connected to code that controls that aspect of the game.

    Take the chat bug that plagued us for so long, the culprit ended up being connected to interaction with the auction house screen.

    Paragon studios could have 100 QA testers working, and they would still not be able to locate every bug that arises. 25k pairs of eyes and 25k brains, all of which have a different way of approaching the game, are far more likely to find problems.
  13. I've seen several threads popping up about problems with upgrading trials. I wonder if there's a problem NCsoft Store side. While the Mods have to control over this, I'd PM one of them so they can contact the appropriate department to look into this.

    I'm not sure how to read this. Are you saying I don't understand the notion of fair debate even with radically opposed views or that I do? This isn't sarcastic, by the way. I really don't know how to read this, and both ways would have rather different meanings and lessons to learn.
    I read that as a compliment Sam. You are by far, one of the most reasonable people posting to these forums that I have ever come across.

    I've gotten most of it from what the devs said at Hero Con
    The Devs praised Emperor Cole, I witnessed this in person.
  17. Maybe BB will want to give the Eden TF another shot.

    I'm just not a big fan of image sigs, don't mind text sigs though.
    There a lot of sig images I like, and many that are either too large or too garrish (or both) for my taste. That's why I love AdBlock Plus, so I can pick and choose which ones I was to see and which ones I can do without.

    Text unreadable

    You could try changing the default CoX font to something else. I'll hunt down the steps, perhaps someone has then on hand and can post them.

    Edit: Okay, Here's the "Changing in-game font" guide.
  20. You keep using the word 'freedom' as if it is something we know nothing about. Let me tell what freedom means to me.


    I and my family can walk the streets day or night, and not be concerned for our safety.

    Our home provides us shelter from the elements, is clean, well maintained, and has every amenity we could ask for.

    When we leave our home, we are not confronted with broken windows, graffiti covered walls, trash-strewn streets, and roving gangs bent on mayhem and destruction.

    We are not beset with invasions, no sirens wake us in the middle of the night warning us of hoards of aliens, undead rising from the earth, or militaristic regimes seeking to overthrow our way of life.


    You will have to excuse me if I do not see your 'freedom' as being something that I should accept.

    I thought freedom had an extremely high price that has to be payed in blood?
    Indeed.

    Has anybody got any more information or rumours about this?
    To which files are you referring?

    Was I disappointed that I didn't have Angel Wings when I started my very first character? You bet.

    Guess what, I was ably to overcome it quite easily by adapting. Did I go and slap those Angel Wings on my main when they did become available to me? **** no!

    And as far as the game coming to an end and everyone not being on equal footing as far a Vet Rewards are concerned...

    ...when the plug finally does get pulled, the VR's will be the least of my worries.
  24. Done.

    Granted I have ParagonWiki in my quick links so I don't have to hunt it down.
