    I used to do this too, until I realized it was taking too long for the aggroed baddies to catch up to me... because CE was slowing them down.

    So I've been playing with using Icicles in the same way and toggling CE on when I have them in a good crowd.

    Not really. I've been monitoring.

    You've just missed my point completely.

    If Virtue is not your niche, that's fine.

    BUT
    These are OPEN boards.
    What you did, in the part I initially quoted, was essentially like being at a party, moving from one group to another and saying, "I don't like those people over there, they're a bunch of jerks!" for the whole room to hear.

    That was all I was trying to say.
    I tried to say it in as general terms as possible.
    I made no sweeping generalizations about any particular server.
    I didn't even make any personal attacks, unlike those that have been aimed at me here.

    Like I said, if you wish to disregard my comments, all the power to ya.
    And I will repeat again; I DO hope you find what you're looking for.

    I've said my piece.
    Done.

  3. Mid's needs to be updated for all the power/math changes in each issue.
    So folks are wondering when the new updates will be going up.

  4. Mid's Hero Planner
    (linky)

    I sure wish someone had pointed this to me early on... could have saved me a few respecs on my early toons.

    Yep.
    Once you enable the "Lounge" on your mini-map, I believe the icon for the Studio 55 exit is a little martini glass. And it is a little tricky to find... it's in a little side room at the bottom of the hero side portal ramp (the taller end).

  6. I would go with End. Even though I love my Energy Absorbtion, it's very dependant on how many baddies it hits.

    Also, do check your build with the tank gurus on the tank forums.

    It's probably just a coincidental combination. Person had 10 open arcs and just *happened* to choose the Cim arc to complete.

    Issue 19: Q & A

    Yes, you can level toons from preatoria to level 20, then you can simply put them into your SG/VG. Before issue 19 you would lose the prestige from these toons when they quit or got deleted, but now your SG retains the prestige after such actions are taken. Hope this helps.

    You need to upgrade your plot type from "Hidden" to "Secure".

    First, welcome back.

    Second, you have a lot of catching up to do. This P-wiki page should help a bit.

    Some highlights:
    • Side-kicking has been re-vamped, so bridging is passe'.
    • Playing the market is fun for some, but there are more avenues to obtain recipes & salvage than you can shake a stick at. My fav's are AE tickets + Reward Merits (for running story arcs/TF's).
    • Player Star-Rating & Notes allows you to keep track of players by global. Click on a player's name in the chat window, and choose "edit/add note" from the popup menu. Set "player rating" to "always show" in your options window. These are YOUR personal notes on players, nobody else will see them.
    • Two words: Power Customization. Check it out. You can also save your power customizations and costumes in the char. creator and tailor.
    • There is now a "flashback" system through the Ouroboros crystals. You can go back to certain story arcs and TF's to obtain badges & merits.
    • Buncha new TF's... you'll prolly pick those up as you go.
    • You can now have 3 builds for a character
    • Side switching. Hero --> Vigilante --> Villain --> Rogue --> Hero
    • Praetoria; A whole new ball game for lvl 1-20.
    Just to name a few things...

    *Heads off to roll a hundred Prae's*
    Have fun getting them all to level 20 so they can leave Praetoria and join your SG.
    Knock yourself out.

    I seem to recall a thread recently where folks calculated the efficiency of "Praetorian prestige slaves" vs. "Playin' yer 50".... I think the 50 won.

    .
  12. Did you do an AE mish recently? You need to be sure to quit/finish out of those things.

    .
  13. Not as far as I could tell.

    There's nothing in the patch notes either, and I doubt that's something they'd "sneak in".

    I was wondering about this!
    Every other online store has a "shopping cart".
    Even my online produce co-op has a "shopping cart".

    What's with NCSoft being so bass-akwards?
    I had to run a total of 4 separate dinky transactions on my card (2 for me, 2 for hubby).
    I expect to get a call from my bank in the next couple days.

  17. Was kinda hoping the Origins pack would be discounted... but not super surprised that it wasn't.

    Did pick up the Cyborg & Science packs, though.

  18. timing... I *just* checked for an announcement 6 minutes ago... and of course it goes up 3 minutes later. lol

Who are you to say that Angelofvalor hasn't run into a lot of bad people?

    Every server has bad apples. And that post just proved you may want to start looking in the mirror a bit before randomly snapping at someone who was looking for teams and actual gameplay when they couldn't find it elsewhere.
    Missing the point entirely.
    My comment had nothing to do with activity on any server.
    It had nothing to do with judging someone else's experiences.
    Considering that Virtue is a highly populated server, it's very likely that the OP MAY actually come across some GOOD players who HAPPEN to play across servers. Therefore, he may want to reconsider his commentary.
    There are times when one may want to spout off about their experiences, but you don't want to burn possible bridges in doing so.
    It's just simple mature rules of friendly social etiquette.
    That is all.

    If the OP wishes to disregard my input, so be it.
    I sincerely hope he finds what he/she is looking for.

    Way to "Win Friends & Influence People".
    You do realize that there are many folks who play on several servers?
    You may want to reconsider how much "commentary" you spout. It says a lot more about you than the folks you seem to be criticizing.
    Jus' sayin'.

  21. I just continue to vender/delete them. Data-mining will eventually tell the Dev's they've made a mistake.

    Sometimes it depends on what you have your "world detail" level set to in your graphics options. But even at the highest level, there is still a limit... you're still going to run into rendering limitations at a certain distance.

    Yeah, the banners were my first thought too, but I realized you wanted something lighter, and the texture does show on them with lighter colors.

    There is a small "art" piece that is white, but you'd have to use quite a few of them, I think. Also, the fact that it is blank is probably a bug, and lord forbid if they should ever decide to "fix" it. lol

    There is the white counters, but they have that dark stripe on them that you would have to overlap them heavily to get rid of... therby creating that annoying flicker.

    I hate to say it, but ya got me stumped on this one. Maybe someone else has an idea.

  24. What exactly do you need help with?

    How far along have you gotten with your base?
    Are you looking for someone to build it from scratch for you?
    Or do you just need help getting started?
    How much prestige do you have to work with?
    What side are you on (blue/red)?


    You may want to clarify what you're looking for.

    hmmmm... I hadn't really noticed that, myself. Pro'lly because I tend to buff when the team is standing relatively still, and I'm usually set back a bit.

    I agree though, that it has not been my ideal solution. I would *much* rather cycle through the roster in order (which I use the default shift + # to do).
