  1. Already translated it from the French and German: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Halloween_Event_2010

    Saw Avatea's posts first.

  2. Yes, I've heard of Ouroboros. Is it anywhere near Atlas Park?

    Don't be making definitive claims about how something works from a one time experience just because you're on the internet.

    And if you don't like how you're being treated, don't respond by using cutesy asterisks to curse them just because you're on the internet. Nice way to teach manners.

    And why the Legion of Super Heroes didn't have any historical records of her.

    *Proliferated* it may be a bad idea.

    *Reworked* it would be just fine.

    Problem is that reworking a set is almost as much work as just coming up with a brand new one.

    A little humility goes a long way.
    Oh, you're right. Every server forum should have a repeat thread of every topic in every non-server forum. That makes perfect sense.

    I apologize for questioning it since I'm well aware that questioning is the same as demanding.

    I humbly acquiesce to your genius.

    New Aura Preview

    Because the Firefly and Snow Auras were not intended for Issue 18. They will be available as part of Issue 19.

    When parts of the database show up where they should not be showing up, it can cause much bigger problems (like a character's DB becoming corrupted and unavailable).

    Also, the auras were missing for the female model and the snow aura looked bad. It was unfinished work.

    And, as the Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning previews have shown, that when something gets released early, people stop counting it as belonging to the Release it belongs to. You don't know the number of times people claimed GR was too light in content and those same people almost always forgot to include Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning as being part of GR.

    Wrong. I created a brand new character and went directly to her and she appeared for me though no one else was around.

    Wrong. She's been seen at night.



    Seriously, is there a contest for misinformation going on here?

    There's a thread already on this where such nonsense has been debunked. Linked above. Go there.
  9. I've got I19 News for ya, this just in:

    Players are Wondering about I19 Details.

    Film at Dark_Repite's at sometime soon.

    Fixed, thanks.

    So would it be more clear to say, for example, that "doing Cleopatra's arc WILL remove either Cleopatra or (the other contact) from the world"?
    'Can' was more of a quibble word since in some cases your choice in the arc doesn't remove them.

    A more detailed guide would list which actions definitely 'will' remove them.
  11. “I can barely understand Hank and you do it with a speech impediment.”
  12. So, apparently, it's not the power set that would defeat Superman, but power- and costume customization.

    Use the Bioluminescent and Omega costume with green blast powers.

    Oh, and roll a *magic-origin* green-blasting Bio-Omega-costumed toon. And you can kill Superman... every time he rezzes.

    I *think* some intangibility powers are flagged so that "strength" equals magnitude and/or duration. Black Hole's "strength" is both.

    But besides Intangibility and KB, all other mezzes' "strength" is flagged as duration.
  14. It would be really odd for them to flip a switch over the weekend to turn on a Closed Beta. I'll give even odds to "it's a bug."

    Got em confused:

    Non-stacking 'Freespecs':
    1. They are given to players by the Developers as celebratory gifts (e.g., to celebrate a game anniversary) or as corrective gifts because game mechanics have changed and players might need to respecify their characters to adjust to the changes;
    2. Starting in Issue 11, inventing them from Respec Recipes; and,
    3. Starting in the Winter Event of 2009, inventing them from a Recipe from the Candy Keeper paid for with 500 Candy Canes and 250,000 inf. Thus, they can only be purchased during the Winter Event.


    Stacking 'Earned' Respecs:
    1. Successfully complete a Respec Trial (the Terra Volta Trial for heroes, or the Thorn Tree Trial for villains) or the first Patron Arc for villains;
    2. Veteran Rewards; and,
    3. Purchased with Real Money
  17. You can try to see if the netbook manufacturer, or the manufacturer of the motherboard (check both!) has an updated driver for the CPU chipset (not the GPU, but the CPU).

    The Atom processor for Netbooks is a very low-end solution meant to only support very basic web surfing and basic programs such as a word processor. It was *never* intended to run modern 3D gaming. Even with two of them, this might be considered "below minimum specs".
  18. There are some Powers Contacts who will work with the Resistance... Dr. Hetzfeld, e.g., but most won't.

    All the Crusader Contacts are locked behind their super secret hideout that the Loyalists can't enter. But some of them can still be called and finish up their arc if you switch from Resistance to Loyalist.

    But as a general rule, don't count or the extremists (Crusader and Powers) to work with the other side.

I'm not against KB in general but I feel like it's kind of an odd choice for Dark/Dark, considering you mostly want them bunched together for cone blasting and stunning.
    They're all not in range of the cone attack nor the Darkest Night.

    Torrent knocks down the lieutenants and even the bosses -- who have control attacks... you don't want to get Held. This gives you a free hit as they're knocked down, which I use to throw Darkest Night on them. If I start with Darkest Night, I have 15 toons shooting at me, and maybe a few will get a lucky hit.

    Then I run away. The Darkest Night is an AoE anchor and will agro all the toons that the anchor runs past. This pulls them into a tight bunch onto a Tar Patch which now gives me a 30% Damage bonus. The Darkest Night is now affecting all of them in that tight bunch and now all my cone attacks will hit them all.
  21. Add winged boots and get a second separately-colorable contrail!
