And with a Kismet unique and 74% global accuracy it doesn't really miss that often.
    I use the sands of Mu a lot on higher level toons. Great on my dom.

    I've always regreted getting the axe....

    Yeah, that would be like _totally_ useful.





  4. I liked the arena for ToTing too. I wonder why it was stopped.

  6. I wonder if it will be worth the time to be an INF runner.

    Also, merge the markets.
  7. I'll see whats happening if anything after 9.
  8. Its been a long long time since Olivia Newton-John or Bee Gees were considered an Australian band ...
    They both have spent more of thier musical careers/lives in US it's no spurise they sound something like American more than Australian.

    and this

  9. We need less encouragment to kill skuls
  10. I really like the new DA.

    Havent done it more than a few times, buit to me seems right balance for alt friendly and main friendly with four powers to collect.

    Its a very imaginitive use of the game engines limiations in my opinion, and would love to see time spent on making the creatures as unique to fight.

    I wasnt happy about the changes for halloween salavge at first but won over as my squishies can still get in with a group ToTing withouit risking door clicks of doom.

    Its very hard one low number groups (solo to triples) though, the tricks have bite in them for lowbie characters espically.

    Next I notice the little light up icon that shows my wireless is on has gone dark even though the switch is still at ON.

    So now no matter what I do I can't get my internet working. Even though the wireless switch is on the computer says its off. The switch itself is fine.

    Somehow my precious little kitty hit some hotkey to kill my wireless. I have searched every manual and help topic I could find but I cannot find it even though my manual says it exists.

    Any ideas?
    Is it a laptop? Many of them have a hard switch that often has a saterlite picture on it that can turn wireless on and off. Other times on laptops there is a (mostly) blue function button, with blue symbols for some keys. These can toggle wireless on and off.

    But then, answer me this. How often have you been approached by a multi-millionaire whom you have no connection to all, and been given a massive amount of money?
    Well there was this one time, but it turned out they werent really a millionaire

    SO's often go for a few hundard inf on Wentworth/Blackmarket.

    Buy low, sell high is normal way of making money on markets.

    Or buy cheap level 50 set recipes & sell them. 30 odd minutes of hustling to the vendor and back will pay for all the common IOs and SOs you want.

    Starting with 0 inf is'nt gimped. Thats standard operating procedure. Gimp'd would be starting with negative funds.

    If transfer to characters happen, you'd likley see more increase in prices for lowbie stuff.
    Then I imagine you would complain you couldnt afford that.

    Its halloween. ToTing will get you nice valuable salavage.

    In short; Inf rains from Paragon skies, hold out a bucket,
  14. I'm looking forward to actually playing on a friday night again

    Even better with the ToTing going on

    Incidentally, the supernatural event's stubborness meant that I only got four hours of sleep last night. Totally worth it. :P
    I'm sure I've seen doubled up invasions before, so it must be possible.

    My regular server is kind of dead now so a transfer would go a long way for me. Thanks in advance.
    I'd contact support/customer service and make sure they know there is an issue with paypal and the transfers. (if you havent already)

    You could use a 'gift card', those once off credit cards things. Or get a debit card that can be used for credit card purposes.

    Don't know anything else to help; good luck.

    As funny as they are, I hope you don't really think that because a person hasn't responded to an email from someone they don't know in a timely fashion, that its okay to break copy right.

    That you can do something until you get told to stop in no way makes something acceptable. Likewise, if a web comic creator doesn't find it worth their time & energy to chase down every possible violation of their work doesn't make it okay either.

    I also think that the original humour in them would be as good without having to use other people's IP.

    There are more than a few comic creator websites/software packages out there that don't require artistic talent.
  19. I think there is a min level to craft though, you have to be at least 10 iirc.

    I had trouble with lowbies and Winter's gift last christmas.

    You should try entering "/sync" (without quotes) into the chat line when that happened. Most of the time that will snap you into the right place and stop the rubber banding.

    There was Carrying Capacity? <looks side to side>

    I'm very jealous of the rule books. I had to get rid of my copy (under much protest) which iirc was first release to Aus.

    Hmmm I wonder how much on ebay they are.
    (looks like digtal version available at drivethrurpg)

      • Two in North America and two in Europe...four total.
    • The recent shift brought our maintenance windows from four to two windows.
    We've been monitoring the reactions from our Oceanic and EU players, and have decided to move to only one "Global" maintenance window per week beginning Thursday, October 22nd.
    • Please note that we are doing this as a test / trial, and the new single-global-maintenance-window-a-week schedule is going to be heavily monitored and evaluated.
    If we find that we need to go back to a two-global-maintenance-windows-a-week schedule, we will do so.

    This will not affect players located in North America, and will have a greater impact on Oceanic and European players.
    This is just fantastic

    I really hope the servers cope well enough for it to be standard.

    I'm really happy that its being tried. Even if it ends up unsuccessful :|

    Thanks again!
