I tend to play the market on every US server and I have this problem everywhere in WW since maybe one month back.
-
OK, so I have reached past the 12 month limit and can now choose Sands of Mu on.... SOME of my toons. About 60% can, without any problem, click on the veteran badge and choose Sands of Mu.
But 40% of my toons can not? It is just greyed out on the Veteran Badge and I can't click it. Is there a level requirement that paragonwiki does not list? An archetype requirement?
Some other random facts:
* No , the toons that can not choose Sands of Mu have not taken Ghost-Slaying Axe instead
* It seems my meele toons (scrapper/tanks/brutes) have no problems taking it
* The toons that have problems are often controllers
I thought all my toons (and there are many of them) would get Sands of Mu once I got the 12 month badge?
Anyone else got this problem? Anyone know how to fix it? -
Someone said traffic for City of Heroes is down - is that true? Does that mean that Aion is compensating for lowered income from City of Heroes?

Glad you all liked my name :-)
If I am stuck with Internet explorer due to company policy, what can I do? Seems all the suggestions were dependent on Firefox -

I sometimes browse the forums at work and I am located in an open office.
Is there some way I can make them look more professional (for example remove the background picture of Statesman and Paragon City) so people that happen to look at my computer do not realize what I am reading?
Preferably I would like only text if possible -

Stone offers the best defense toggle. Fire's shield is resist, not defense.
For figuring out sets, use Mid's, go to the Window menu, and choose Set Bonus Finder. That will let you see all the sets that grant defense.
Enfeebled Operation (an immob set) will grant 2.5% S/L defense at 4 slots, plus another 1.5% at 6 slots, for a total of 4.06%. This is a very inexpensive set.
Kinetic Combat will grant you 3.75% S/L defense. This is an extremely expensive set.
The rest of the defense you get in bits and pieces.
Still 45% seems a lot ... how much does the Stone Armor grant?
Weave is like 4.5%
Enfeebled 4.06%
Kinetic Combat 3.75%
Steadfast Unique 3%
Thats still quite far from 45%
Can anyone who has actually soft-capped defense list their bonuses and how they managed it? -
Quote:Actually, this is really clever. I usually jump with joy when I see a non-AE broadcast in Atlas and join almost anything if I find that I can get a team that has nothing to do with AE. I have also started broadcasting in Atlas for almost anything. It is convenient to have everyone gathered in the same spot, but I still feel that it is inappropriate that it should be the starting zone and the first thing new players encounter.Originally Posted by Kryhavoc
Since a lot of players hang out in Atlas/Cap, have you gone there to recruit for your teams? Some players will jump at the chance to leave the AE building and do regular content.

I have severe altitis so I play on all servers and have all of them filled with alts. I tend to rotate (now loosely based on who has patrol XP to burn) between them and play on all servers.
For the simple reason that it is much easier to find teams on Virtue and Freedom, I play a little more there and I might say that my heart belongs on Virtue as it is still easy to find teams there but people are not as... how can I put this? ... complicated as they are on Freedom.
Having said this, I am constantly surprised by the friendliness and helpfulness I encounter on the low traffic servers, most recently on Liberty.
Basically, I love all the servers! Yes, even Freedumb :-) -
Excuse my noobish question, but can someone who me how to get 45% defense on a 50 fire/kin? What sets do you need and in what powers? Can it be done with fire epic or do you have to go stone?

Quote:I completely agree with this reasoning and I am happy that NCSoft take care not to upset returning players. Just made a friend reactivate after 24+ months and if he would have had his names taken away he probably would have quit immediatly and gone back to WoWOriginally Posted by mousedroid
The general consensus for why this is the case is that NC doesn't want to upset returning players if they log back in after x-number of months or years and find they've lost their character's name(s).

Amazing guide!
I am playing in a team of Fire/Rads and as this guide mainly discusses soloing, I was wondering what changes to the build could be made if as many as six Fire/rads were playing together.
Do the Leadership pool become usable? How does the presence of 18 imps affect the debuff anchor powers?
Basically we are all meele-oriented and charge in with imps on crack (AM) and hot feet/CC blazing. We could probably finetune that tactic, but it is loads of fun.
Right now we do not have synched builds, but everyone just took things they thought useful, although the differences are quite small. -
I was logged out yesterday while AFK in a mission. I was quite suprised. So when dit this change, if it did and what are the new rules?

Have you tried entering the other coalitions base? Does the coalitions base show on the list when entering a base portal?It may be possible the coalition is actually broken and just not showing that it is.Try entering the base of that coalition,see if it is possible.
As far as I know,as long as you are on the character that is Super Leader,a GM will be able to contact you,even if you are out doing missions. So go play and have fun,just be ready to enter your base if/when you are contacted by a GM.
Guess I will have to petition then -
OK, but there is no way to do it without wasting valuable gaming time on it?

What's a level pack? Is this a lvl 54 AE boss farm team? A pack of guys, dinging crazily all the time?
Sorry, could not resist :-) -

I have the cancel_coalition problem exactly as described above. I really do want to cancel the coalition for a number of reasons, but I just can't do it. So it is not possible to cancel a coaltion at all at this time? Any coaltion you enter is now forever?
-
On a lot of my toons, I can not select Sands of Mu (or Ghost-Slaying Axe) as a power in my veteran bagdes menu, the alternative to choose them is simply greyed out. Is there a level requirement? Can only certain archetypes use them?
About 4 in 10 toons have had this problem. I have not found a common demoninator among them -

Quote:If the boss farms are an exploit, I wish the devs would do SOMETHING about them, like for example:Originally Posted by The_Alt_oholic
AE Boss farms, AE LT farms, and other exploits are just that.
.
* Remove the ability to have spawns of +4 bosses in a mish
* Remove the outdoor maps that enable quick farming
* Remove the auto-SK rule
* Move AE out of Atlas Park
* Cap XP in AE for one mish
* Punish people who advertise AE farms or are looking for them
* (insert random suggestions from the hundreds of threads about this)
But nothing is done, it just goes on and on. In fact, exploitive farming is the first thing any new player is exposed to in this game and the situation has been like this since I14 came out.
I have stopped caring about what XP I gain in normal mishes, as it is just insignifcant amounts compared to the AE.
Quite frankly, XP as a mechanism has lost most of its meaning. I have not really thought about the consequences of that... maybe its a good thing in some weird way.
I feel that I can now play at any level I like basically. Not much work is needed to level.
Which brings me back to the OP... it used to be an accomplishment. It used to feel good to reach 50, something to be proud of.
I hope it stops actually. I really do. I hope XP becomes valuable again. -
My daughter hit 50 after 13 months of play yesterday. She is 8. She played an Inv/Ice tank for the duration of 3 double XP weekends and a lot of time between. She is unable to read or speak English (being Scandinavian) but she did it anyway, after a lot of hard work.
She did it after seeing me hit 50 on two toons (I started at the same time) after even more work. But then came AE. I got six more 50s that were all involved in boss farms in some way (more for some, less for some).
I tried to bring her into the AE to speed up the process (as she really longed to have a 50) but after 10 min in the AE she said: "Dad, this is CHEATING!" and refused to come near it.
So today she hit 50 doing Crimson's arc. We are still not done and she is looking forward to spawning the Chronos Titan. :-) -
Quote:There is a difference between the people that did it in PI last weekend, that at least had to know how to get to PI, how to get a PI farm arc or find a farmer willing to farm you etc etc and the people that just log in to Atlas Park, sign up to a maniac lvl 54 boss slam and walk a few metres to the AE and never leave it for the whole weekend (except to make new toons).Originally Posted by Rylas_Prime
Outside of "Double AE" which of these things wasn't just as prevelant in the last double xp weekend? Nothing's changed. Not one bit. People milked farms like crazy during double xp before, and they always will.
.
AE made this double xp far less fun than the last one IMHO, mainly because even AE without double xp would be A LOT more xp than any other mish with double xp, so double xp in AE was ... crazy
