Actually, Overwhelming Force adds a negative enhancement to the Knockback. And even if it didn't, procs are all flagged "Ignores buffs and enhancements". So both procs will stay at their basic levels. If the two combined add up to more than 0.75, it will be Knockback. Unfortunately, I can't answer the question, since I don't know the magnitude of either proc. If they're both the standard 0.67, then yes, they will combine to KB 4% of the time.

To further break it down:

4% of the time, both would fire.
16% of the time, OF would fire.
16% of the time, Ragnarok would fire.
64% of the time, nothing would fire.

The only problem I have with these missions it that the warning ISN'T there, until just before the mission in question.

So you take your level 50 to do a flashback of the new level 30-35 arc, and halfway through, you get told to go recruit some friends for the tough fight. Um... How? I'm in Flashback mode! I CAN'T invite friends to help me!

The warning should be up front, before you start the arc, just like it is on AE arcs.

They never level bump on Test. They occasionally level bump on Beta, but unless they're specifically trying to test high-level content, they won't bump to 50. The last I heard, Beta bumps are currently boosting you to 15.

Or (assuming that you're Rogue or Vigilante), you can just go to Sharkhead.

He said "Burn's pet damage", not "Burns' pet damage". :P

Yes, as I remember it, there was a column that said "Inactive 90 days" under "Account status" and either "Yes" or "No" under "Playable" or "Unplayable". Not sure when it changed.

Logged in right now. :P
I said she was Premium, I didn't say she completely stopped playing.

Close. My GF recently finished her last quarter of school, and is going to resub soon. Figured we might as well get the bonus points/time while doing so.

Yep. When solo, FBZ is WAY better. On a team, the difference isn't so large, since normal zones (like PI) have the spawns scale based on the number of people around, and Hazard zones (like FBZ) just have large spawns all the time.

Because that's what the players want. A couple years ago, at one of the Player Summits, Positron asked the group about non-unique naming. He set it up in an "All for/all opposed" manner. For the "All for" side, there was a smattering of support. For the "All opposed", the response was thundering.

There may have only been 100-200 people in that sample, but it is fairly representative of the playerbase, in my experience.

I personally think that they should have non-unique naming per account (ie, since I have the name "Roderick" on Victory, I can make as many "Roderick" characters as I want, but others can't use the name), but that's a topic for a different thread.

No, he's a SACK of HP. A Bag of HP is at least one order of magnitude smaller. Most absorb power look more like they'll be pouches, or possibly coin purses.

Fixed.

From the OP, it really doesn't sound like he's contacted support at all yet. I think he just remembered his old login info.

Normally, the servers are ordered with the last server you logged into first on the list, and the rest in order from lowest to highest server load. When Freedom launched, all accounts forgot which server was the last logged in. Since it only affected one login, I wouldn't be surprised if most people forgot about it.

However, if the OP quit playing before Freedom launched, the server he last logged in to could be anywhere on the list.

I would recommend checking all the servers for characters. And since the list is somewhat fluid, it might be a good idea to write down a list and check off the servers as you check them. Be sure to look at all 4 pages.

One last thing - it's possible that your playerslot.txt file is corrupt. That's VERY unlikely, considering that you're on a fresh install, but if it happened, it can sometimes make characters vanish from your list. Hyperstrike wrote a good little guide on fixing the playerslot.txt file. I'll see if I can find it, and add the link to my post if I can.

Yes.
Subscribe, wait until you can log into the game as a VIP (usually a matter of minutes or less), and then cancel your recurring billing. You'll get a notification on cancelling that you'll be able to play any remaining paid time, and that you'll automatically downgrade to Premium when that time expires.

Depending on your bank and the type of account, I'd say that there's a fair chance of this happening. Cancel the subscription as I described above, and you won't have to worry about it.

This won't happen. If your account tries to auto-renew and the card is declined (for any reason), then the system cancels the recurring billing, and you get an email telling you what happened and why.

Now, if a payment goes through and you're successfully resubscribed, and then you file a chargeback or otherwise force NCSoft to give back your money, you'll get banned. If it's a result of a bank error, it can sometimes get reversed (though the one time I heard of it happening, the person was locked out of their account for about two months before they got it resolved). But they'll never ban you for not paying; they'll just shift you back to Premium.

Because that pile of guano isn't trying to kludge new tech onto 8 year old models - the robes were included in the design from the early stages, and didn't have to be retrofitted.

For us, there are only two ways to do robes:
-Replace the legs with robes, like Tsoo Sorcerers. This can cause odd deforming with extreme leg movement. Also, the underside is, IIRC, a flat black plane which looks kinda dumb.
-A skirt/kilt or belt. This works better, but still not great. Go to the costume creator and create a female with a pencil skirt, select Dual Blades, Dual Pistols, Martial Arts, or anything else with really active animations. Then, try to tell me that skirt is made of anything other than spandex. Spandex that is superglued to her knees.

The latter method could probably be adapted to long robes, but they'd have to be built right, or honestly, they'd look stupid. I'm hoping that there are some development hours being put into tweaking whatever needs it to make robes/long skirts happen, but I really don't think they should add them using the assets that are currently available.

Would it be possible to add the strap as a chest detail, like the various straps and chains we already have? (Barbarian pack, for example)

Only if you're Chuck Norris.
