Thank you!

A suggestion without trying to be snarky, but unsubscribe for a month or two so you have the money to get GR, then resubscribe. A little time without the game to have all the power sets and a much better gameplay in general.

I love the MU Pet on my main Dom, having a source of heals and damage when I solo is great.
Being perma-dom means enough recharge to keep it up more often than not too. -

Obviously the devs should put fake stuff along this lines in the patch notes every issue just to keep people who don't check values happy.
"Lowered recharge on Adrenalin Boost from 10 decades to 300 seconds." -
my goodness, did you really type all those out from the game.
you do like lists too much

Best luck and looking forward to the triumphal return

Quote:I'd also suggest joining other server's global chat/tf channels (do a channel search for TF, task, etc) so you can lurk and see how popular they are at the times you play.Originally Posted by Red Valkyrja
If you haven't already done so, join your server's TF/SF/Monster hunt channels. It's the easiest way to find out what's going on on any server.

You need to have a free slot to move the character to.
You will get 2 slots free at the same time as the transfer though which is really nice

Quote:hrrmm I've always enclosed the powexecname in quotes eg /bind R "PowExecName Resurrect".Originally Posted by StarGeek
/bind R PowExecName Resurrect should work, that's what I have as my bind (except for the choice of key). It will also auto target any dead character (teammate or otherwise), though it will take a second press of the key to activate the power.
Try using /ShowBind R to verify exactly what is ending up in the bind. My most common mistake is to type PowerExecName instead of PowExecName.
Are the quotes as necessary as the doing the _ (eg pow_exec_nam_e)? -

Don't know how much it would help but it only took me a few minutes to wipe this up:
Magic, Mutant, Natural, Science and Tech. I think the colors are different enough.
Here are the files if anyone wants them. -
Quote:As the forums use the same password as your game account, and brute force hacking account names on well known forum software or other possible exploits would be easier than hacking the game there is some benefit visiable...though still need correct global name... which many people list.... <shrug> I'm not worried though I do dislike the same password setup out of securty minded principal.Originally Posted by BBQ_Pork
I'm wondering if there is any benefit whatsoever to cancelling the forum-side of your account while still subscribing to the game. Like being 0.00000002% safer from identity theft or something?

Sounds like a lot of fun

I would like the Praetorian Loyalist star and Resistance emblems but I'd hope we didnt have to wait 77+months for them. Espcially as GR is hopefully getting new players in.
As a GR Icon booster, or earnable, or even grandfathered in the vet reward that has the PPD emblems would be better imo. -
Quote:You dont consider that sacrastic comments equals aggressive comments O.oOriginally Posted by Pyber
What aggression? There's a post with an explanation as to why it works the way it does, a couple of jokingly sarcastic comments (including in my own post) and that's pretty much it. Seriously, the only thing that could even be considered aggressive (and probably wasn't intended in that way) was the 15 minutes comment. So you might want to reign in the horses there a little before saying we're all being aggressive.
-
Its not earth shattering annoying, but it is somewhat annoying that you have to do it again. Certaintly dont think OP needs all the aggresssion for pointing that out.

I go Talos for the freaks, then founders for rikti and Devouring Earth.

I wouldn't wait until 50 for your first respec. But I kinda enjoy the respecing process.
As you get a free spec almost every issue, and you can only have one freespec per character, I tend to use one on a lot of characters right before the next issue.
Mostly for low level characters, but you can buy junk IOs from wentworths, eg a level 50 generic sleep might only cost 100 inf, at the end of the respec you can sell them for the crafting cost for a few 100k inf. Minor money compared to most market stuff, and probably less needed now thanks to emailing money but its still 1 million inf or so in the pocket. You don't need to be able to use the IO to buy it and sell it.
Plus I tend to upgrade IOs with characters that way when it's around the right time. Take out my lower level IOs and keep 10 to put back into SG storage or mail to other characters instead of just over writing them with the better ones.
It means I feel a bit freer trying powers knowing I'll be respeccing in a little while
It will also give you practise with respeccing to do it before a lower level.
If your connection or machine can be poor, I suggest going to a 'quiet' place in city. I also tend to turn the team window flag to not accepting. -
I'm just getting web page errors when I try to go to ncsoft site ): like to see what the Tees look like.

90% of the time, TheThe, otherwise its the ingame sounds.

The send money via paypal is a good idea.
Or ask for thier account name/password, add it and tell them to change thier password. -
You need to petition, or submit a ticket to helpdesk. Right now.
I have heard of quote a few success's at getting lost mails back, and a few sadder tales.
Email is virtually instant. You should (hindsight i know) always try to get them asap, and contact support asap if they are not. -

Yeah I hate this when its out of team chat. Not so much if its all in the group and you can say 'hey do some fighting here'.Quote:Suddenly realizing that me and 1-2 other guys on the full team seem to be doing all the fighting while the Team chat is zipping along about some movie or the chat window is silent while custom AFK bubbles are constantly popping up above the slackers' heads, who coincidentally, all belong to the same SG.
This is the number on ereason i put heroes away for the night.Quote:Repeated DCs

I also hate the overly restricted planning types - must have a kin for the stone tank (must have a tank), need a healer, have too many scrappers, etc -

Quote:I also think that your stuff is only safe after 60 days for active accounts. Havent tested, but iirc 60 days on an inactive account can wipe your inventory.Originally Posted by BBQ_Pork
For your CoH character: There used to be a 60 day interface requirement where if you didn't log on to your character and check Wentworth's every 60 days, your stuff would be removed. That 60 day rule is gone, but if it was long enough ago, you could have lost it back then and just didn't notice until now when you finally logged in
But this theory would only hold if you have not logged in for many months.

Quote:I have to agree with informing newbs about global channels.Originally Posted by Decorum
I leave mine on the default "not looking" unless I really don't want anyone bothering me, then it's the red "refuse invites". I do the vast majority of my teaming with my SG or Victory badges, so it matters little to me, but I still get invites with the "not looking". Most team leaders seem to be aware that the default setting means absolutely nothing. I'd be more inclined to tell newbs about global channels than setting their search flag.
