  1. The dog is more than I want to spend; but not by much. 400 points or standard monthly alotment be better.

    With only one pet out at a time, I will be using a buff pet most of the time anyhow.

  3. Have we seen spectral decoys before the SSA #3 - They sound like dark illussion control to me, but not usre if alreayd around.
  4. Judging by the Rare IOs on sale this week, I'm expecting the AT IOs to be per character and expensive.
    800 points for makos bite... I'm guessing 1200-1600 for the AT IOs.
  5. Nice story - I should of done the first ward arcs first before reading that right?
  6. I hope all the copy and paste text errors get sorted out for transformation powers. Be nice if the stealth powers worked with them too.

    I think its a good call on the name change.

    I still think its fairly insulting (to the art ***** team) that the dollar value of the transformation power is higher than the barbarian costume pieces.

    I still think its the result of seeing how high the prices on eBay went for some of the codes that have given Paragon very rose coloured glasses to the value of the transofrmation powers.

    edit: hrrrm it wasnt a rude word that got filtered.

    Amend it to "art resource" team

    Rubbish. Total rubbish.

    I understand you don't like threads ranting and complaining, but drawing over the top examples doesn't help.

    People will quit if they feel the downtime exceeds they ability to play the game the majority of times they want. You don't have to try and paint a picture that all people who feel that way are being whining entitlement based chumps. Call people out if they are being whining chumps, but that's not what you are doing.

    It shows clearly you are coming from a position of privilege in regards to downtime and not prepared to accept others viewpoints. You also lose any credibility in claiming others using hyperbole aren't worth listening to.

    edit: And to add before words are inserted into my meaning, I find the downtime very annoying, but at this stage I understand why there's a lot of it. I also think paragon has in the past has successfully minimalised the downtimes for those of us in Aus time zones, and I'm trusting it will go back to normal sometime.

    That's funny. Complaining how frequent these threads appear, when they appear in less number than server downtimes.

    Irony much....
  9. I just teleported straight to the black market

    Anywhere is worth rolling an alt or two to see if you like it.

    Lots of low level (esp sewer trials) teaming there with so a new alt would be the way to go.

    I reckon thats a pretty good way of looking at it. The downtime annoys me, but I dont think its unreasonable at this point. Bloody annoying trailings off grumbling ... and don't feed the trolls while you git off my grass.

    Sounds good. Was just going to refer them the old way. I've been very impressed with changes in i21 and feel its different enough to hassle friends who have tried it before to look again.

    To be a little snarky though you missed a few steps
    - Verify your account from your normal computer again by answering the so called secret security questions.
    - Agree yet again to include this computer in the remember list

    Yes, its priced too high to get away with slack copy and paste.

    I. Don't. Think. So.


    This.
  15. I had a 3000 points worth of stuff in the cart.

    The cart told me I was over the spending limit. It didnt tell me what the spending limit was.

    I downscaled and downscaled until it let me buy my stuff which was under 2k points.
  16. Not surprised at all. I'm sure many people saw the $3 sale of the game as a way of camping 12 names very cheaply.
  17. Same issue and fix here. Had to wait some time too.
  18. Thank you for sharing the sad news.

    I missed his posting but assumed it was due to changing mod rules or the like.

    Always enjoyed the Dr Who news.

    RIP
  19. I dont think IOs are transferrable/sellable after using the IO Booster.

    I didn't say she got the wrong time change, I said she forgot to change the world date/time clock link.

    She change it to read 3am but the link still points to 4am: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...0&sec=0&p1=224

    For reference: not beastyle's post, avatea's
  23. Grumble, Avatea: you forgot to change the http://www.timeanddate.com link when you changed the time in the first post. Got kicked an hour earlier than i thought ):
    (my time zone is 7:30pm to some early hour)

    Looking forward to new issue though!
