  1. It would really be comical if that post got edited too.
  2. I can't think of any intended game mechanic that could cause that. I would conclude that this is a bugged effect of the supersidekicking system. Unfortunately, as this is the first report I've seen of something like that, I think this bug will be extremely hard to track down.

    1) Cool. Sounds like a great idea.
    2) Grrr. We need more global channels. I'm already on 10.

    If you read the post and found it funny, fine.

    If you read it and it sounded reasonable, fine.
    If you read it and it made you angry, or disgusted, or any other intense emotional response, you need to take a step back and get yourself under control. This is the internet. If you can't control your reactions to mild stuff like this, maybe you need to lead a more sheltered life.

    BTW, I fall in the 3rd category. The CONCEPT seems fine to me. The DETAILS of the post make it sound like the OP needs to adjust his priorities. But, you know what? I bet the OP doesn't CARE what I think. I don't care whether he does or not. And that's how it should be!

    You should stop now. You've had 2 posts in a row edited by Mod08.

    It sounds like almost everyone in the U.S. is eligible - the residents of 49 states unless they are on military installation? Or is it only excluding military installations outside the U.S.? Still, most of the US population qualifies.
  9. This is an incredibly rotten idea.
    Do what you want with YOUR characters, but leave mine alone! *I* will decide if I want to keep playing a 50, retire, semi-retire, delete, or whatever.

    Suggestion: Leave *MY* characters the hell alone!
    This idea well and truly stinks.

    I run a utility that tracks my traffic and can analyze it on an hourly, daily or monthly basis. My bandwidth usage (up and down combined) averages about 18MB per hour.

    Make sure they are NOT slotting TP for any endredux when doing so, as the person just down the line is watching for the end bar to flux.
    Actually, when I was on a team doing this, we each had a keybind to trigger Recall Friend and simultaneously announce it.
  13. Yes, and one of the healing sets has a +end proc that people like to slot in Dark Regeneration. At this point, I don't need either. I took Physical Perfection for the regen; I was already in fine shape on the endurance. I have Dark Consumption heavily slotted but rarely need it.

    With all the different procs and set bonuses, you can reach a really crazy level of endurance recovery.
  14. Could you be hitting the 30-day purchase limit on your NCSoft account? If you log into you account and go to 'Billing Summary', it will list a '30-Day Purchase Limit'. This is independent of any limit set by your credit card and also independent of the restrictions on number of purchases in a single day.

    Of course not. It's the 'Kirby Reach'.

  17. You should transfer to my server because...
    I was just leaving.
  18. In order to receive the badge, you (or your team) must do at least 10% of the damage to defeat him. You can get the merits and candy canes for just hitting him once. Were you on a decent-sized team?

    There's all kinds of restrictions. There's a limit on dollar expenditures per month, which you can adjust. Also, as an anti-fraud measure, the number of purchases per day can be restricted. I've bought 2 per day, some people manage to buy 3 things in one day, some people only get 1. It seems to be random.
  20. Can you give more details? Exactly what happens when it crashes? Does it just lock up? Is there an error message? A sound loop?

    It's working fine for me and there are huge crowds in Atlas Park.
  21. So? Isaac Asimov wrote science fiction AND mysteries.

    It would be cool, the way a group using propel can turn the warehouse into a junkyard.

    Any tips, pointers etc to share? :S
    Speed boost isn't useful. What you really want are any of the powers that give 'air control' - Inertial Reduction, Combat Jumping, Super Jump. Also, the Jump Pack from the Kings Row Safeguard.

    If you really want the badges, and are willing to do some 'work', MEMORIZE the course. Count the gates out loud as you pass each one so you embed the pattern in your brain. This will let you plan your moves and start turns early since you know what's coming up.

    Edit: FYI, the specific method I used on my badge hunter (in addition to memorizing the course) was as follows (I got the badges before dual builds):
    No Swift or Hurdle.
    Sprint and Combat Jumping on. (Or Superjump. I checked and could do it with either.)
    Keep the 'W' (forward) key depressed and steer with the mouse.
    Took about 15 runs on the original course and about 10 on the newer one to get gold.
  24. Tell me about it. I have the Performance Shifter proc and Stamina fully (3) slotted.
    AFTER that, I have an additional 45.5% recovery. That includes 2 uniques, set bonuses and Physical Perfection (which I really took for the regen). Having that crazy amount of recovery let me take Focused Accuracy as my 10th toggle.
  25. Hero only. I don't have any villains with the right badges.
