    MA license?

    According to the Wiki page, it was in beta but was never made available on live servers.

    Over four years now, 2008-05-20 patch.
  3. When I23 hit, one of the http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Patch_No...PS]patch notes was

    "Fixed flickering when using Inspiration Collector in SG Bases."

    I recall checking this out and finding it to be true. Sometime between then and now, though, this patch has come undone and the inspirations now flicker like they used to.

    Edit: To be more clear, the "flickering" is what happens when you look in a bin which different types of Present inspirations. Due to the sorting that was added a while back, the Presents would be constantly shifting in the sort order. The patch I linked had fixed that, stabilizing the Presents, but was undone at some point in between then and now.

    Now I'm curious. Why would that be? Nothing on Wikipedia, google pulls up some random YouTube videos which seem to have nothing in common and a Halloween costume. What character is it supposed to be and who has the trademark?

    Still Viable?

    I'm sure there'd be a newer up to date build in either the tanker forum or the guides forum.

    change pets

    Short answer: Nope

    Slightly longer answer: You could delete the current character and remake it with zombies. But no, there is no way to change primary or secondary powersets.

I remember there being a lot of confusion when the system first launched, but I've been getting my points and token on my bill date for some time now. Anyone else have any experience with this? I'm trying to decide if I should initiate the hell of contacting Customer Service or just keep waiting.
    The token is supposed to drop at the end of the subscribed month. But for the points, you might as well go ahead and politely contact customer service and ask about it.

    I believe that Avatea has left the company.

  10. The auction house and invention license are half off right now.
  11. You don't. Someone else may have the same question and come across this thread in a search.

    Actually, a complete list could also invite problems, as there are many emotes that aren't freely available. That would lead to people complaining that xxx emote doesn't work.

    The the fly-out lists linked on the chat bar are not complete. The "sitchair" emotes, for just one example, are missing.
    All three SitChair emotes are in there (Interact->Environment) as well as the other sit commands.

    Hey, I have another question... is this emote list question better submitted in a different section of the COH forum so devs will read it?

    Nope.

    Quote:
    In a way, it's kind of crazy that the game doesn't have the ability to generate such a list of emotes for players, assuming we want players to use them, and that players are required to go outside of the game to aquire this rather important information for gameplay.
    In game, I believe they have kept the QuickChat (aka PopMenu) up to date with all the emotes.
  14. Except under the stealth listing, there's two bonuses, one which is tagged "Cancel on Attack, HitByFoe, MissionObjectClick", one which isn't. Grant Invisibility doesn't appear to function the same way.

    Law of Fives.

    Just so you know, HighTech_Wonder, the Mods often lock thread when they get necro'ed like this. (see section 5 of the forum rules). To quote:

    I've come across two different missions now where I can't defeat the elite bosses due to them putting me in a status effect that reads "Only Affecting Self", where I can move around and use Inspirations but can't attack. This is on a Stalker with the Integration and Resilience powers active. Break-Free doesn't work, either. The effect lasts a very long time and makes it impossible to survive despite numerous self-healing powers, even on the lowest difficulty setting. Dull Pain and Reconstruction wear off and then I'm toast.

    My questions are: What the heck causes this status effect? Is there a way to avoid it? Is it now impossible to play solo outside of broker missions?
    What missions/contacts are they?

    You should have no problem surviving this situation, because when you're affected by "Only Affecting Self", nothing short of Hamidon can hurt you. What is happening is that you're being placed out of phase. The only way to avoid it is to pop some purples (defense inspirations) before you fight the EB.
  18. It has never shown the location of hostages.

  20. There's also the story from Wired writer Mat Honan which is making the rounds. He made a few mistakes as someone who should know better and lost control of various accounts and even lost irreplaceable pictures of his kids off his computer.

    Been there, done that, too many times to count
  22. I just used /bind Enter "afk I'm typing$$Startchat$$em laptop" with no problem. Just change "Laptop" to the emote of your choice
  23. The revealed parts of your maps now appear to be saved on your computer. See this thread for some chat about it.
