  1. Got other "pets" such as seeker drones, FFG or Fluffy in your pet window? They can't be set to Defensive so the icon for "all pet stance" shows up as you describe. Your pets that can be set to defensive, you actual MM pets, are being set to defensive, but because that icon represents all the pets in the window it can't change to defensive.

    Well, you wouldn't wanna do it levelling up but if you are never going to malefactor down the it wouldn't matter at 50. I'm with you, though, I grab the upgrades as soon as they are available.
  3. Problem with bats/tarps is that it ruins you for the other, inferior combinations (all of them)

    So they have made it a bit more annoying to do than logging in a character, running the 5, logging in the next character, running the 5, etc.
    Where did you see this timer? It was in an older version of the beta but has been removed since.

    No longer. Cap of three tips in your tip inventory but I had three drop in one minute last night. Looks like the only limit is the 5 per day.

    Heh, same thing here! I saw that gobbledygook in the address bar and thought "did I just click something in an email?"
  8. Leaving it all up, because I have enough money and crap that I don't care if everything I have on the market up and disappears.
  9. Will they drop even if the critters are grey to you? Also, is the escrow thing still in, with the markets merging?

    I feel similarly, although my global name, account name and forums handle are all different.
  11. Achilles' Heel procs don't stack from themselves, from other pets, or from other casters. They are unstackable with any iteration of themselves. That said they really helped my mercstermind. Damage procs, ehh, not worth it. Maybe on the bottom tier pet, and only after you are ED capped for damage.

    Hey Ston3y, is there a reason the installer doesn't automatically ask to elevate like pretty much every other installer does?
    edit: not that it matters, I've just often wondered.

    My mercstermind is 50, and is by far the weakest of my masterminds. The cones are far too tight, they do low/heavily resisted damage, and the controls are without value due to their long timers. Mercs are undoubtedly the absolute bottom of the barrel of the mastermind sets. That said, it's a mastermind, so it's more than up to the job, generally speaking.

    The cones are tighter than a nun's knees and the controls are up about once per week, and all too often wasted on a single half-dead minion.

    I've heard that, but I often wonder why other installers automatically ask to elevate while Mid's must be told to do so.

    No idea, I am not a programmer. Most apps ask to run as admin while this one needs to be told to run as admin, but hey, as long as it works in the end!
  17. Right click the installer, run as admin.
  18. Can't say without seeing your build.
  19. Oh damn it, there is a paragon wiki page that has merits, # of missions, type of missions all in a handy chart. . . and I am not anywhere near my bookmarks Hopefully someone else has that link handy.
