    You just need more teammates who don't mind being your corpse bomb
  2. Although, if it's something you use frequently, you should use /bindloadfilesilent, rather than /bindloadfile. The latter command will fill your system channel with spam messages notifying you that it's loading the files. The former won't give you any system messages.

    Unless you want to have stacked Rage (and who doesn't?), in which case autofire or clicking it as soon as it's up is exactly what you want to do.

    I recall several versions of Microsoft Office telling me that I was placing multiple things onto the clipboard, but I never did figure out how to use that multi-clipboard. I just used it like I always have, and treated it as if there was only one thing there
  6. Is this oWoD or nWoD? For oWoD, you might try checking out the Dark Ages: Vampire book, since elder vampire characters are more common in that game, so it's more likely they'd have rules for it written out in the sourcebook.

    Exalted, for example, has a table in the Experience section for elder Exalts, or for long periods of downtime between sessions:
    Code:
    Age                  Max Essence  Annual Exp*  Base Exp**
    Exaltation to 99***  5            10           None
    100 to 249           6            5            +[(100 - Exaltation age) x 10]
    250 to 499           7            4            +750
    500 to 999           8            3            +1,000
    1,000+               9+           2            +1,500
    
    * Character receives half this amount for downtime between sessions
    ** Quick cumulative total for starting a character in this age bracket
    *** Calculate beginning with exaltation age, not birth
    While it's a different game, it's the same publisher and the same core system, so it might help you

    Wow, I'm glad I don't ever join your teams. I rarely delve into set IOs until I'm well over 40, and never before 35. My lv22 characters all get kitted out with common IOs, which you wouldn't be able to tell from looking at my powers tab info window.

    Bingo.

    In I16, you'll be exemplared to the level of the mission automatically. And there will be changes to the exemplar system so you don't just lose your fancy new powers just for outleveling a mission, or running a lower-level friend's mission.

    You'll be able to make the game treat you as any size team you like, which will just change the number of enemies (and bosses) that show up, and whether AVs downgrade to EBs.

    Correct (though many people will skip slotting Flash Arrow, but wouldn't think of skipping the -tohit slotting in Dark, which would end up making Dark approximately 50% stronger)

    Brutes can tank. Brutes are not Tankers.
    Corruptors can blast (and in fact, they have to). Corruptors are not Blasters (they're more like inverted Defenders, anyway).
    Dominators can control. Dominators are not Controllers.
    Stalkers can scrap (and I'd kick any Stalker that doesn't, because otherwise they're one-trick ponies). Stalkers are not Scrappers.
    Masterminds... uh... let's call them "multitaskers".

    I've heard of people getting characters back in extremely, extremely rare situations.
    From everything I've heard before in such cases:
    • You need the character's name
    • You need the date it was deleted (to an accuracy of one week)
    • You need to ask for it to be undeleted within 6 months of the deletion taking place
  14. I can totally see 40-45 in 4 hours, even without farming. Not solo without farming, but I can see it.

    There may be, but if you use Google's Chrome browser you can change the size of any multi-line text edit box on any web page. I use it all the time now because it's just SO convenient to change the edit box size.
    I believe that's a feature of WebKit (the open source layout engine Chrome uses), not a feature of Chrome, specifically.

    Assuming I'm correct, that means the same feature is available in Konqueror, Safari, and OmniWeb, among others.

  17. The litte up and down arrows in the corner of the editor will change the (vertical) size, though I don't think it's permanent.

    Not to mention the difference between knowing how to code, and knowing how to code on a team.

    And with "super sidekicking" in I16, those badges are essentially going to be for running a team, period (or having the team run your missions)

    I only want one more, and only for one of my characters. My Mastermind had a "holiday" slot that I would use for events (eg, stocking cap and furry boots for winter event). But then I put a double cape in that slot with the Magic Pack, and can no longer alter the slot, or I'll lose the double cape forever.

    While Mids' will not be going open source, there's nothing stopping a group of players creating their own planner which is. While it would have to be from scratch, "from scratch" is what I'm doing for cross-platform Mids'.

    Steiner and I are also reworking the Data Chunk/Data Link specification for the cross-platform version (at the moment, it's little more than the text of the build in ZIP format). After which, it'll be integrated into the normal Mids' so that both programs can read the same data. I'm sure it would be in the interests of all of us to have that specification public, so that any future programs created can also read the same data.

    This is incorrect, and insulting. I can assure you that Steiner continues to work on Mids'. He has already released one version with some broken features, and he continues to work on it to fix those problems. Saying that he's probably blown it off all togehter is flat out wrong.
