  3. Actually, a much better test would be:
    1) Create trial account and put stuff in WW.
    2) Do not visit WW again.
    3) Let account expire.
    4) Re-activate and check WW *FORTY DAYS* after expiration.

    This will tell whether the count starts with your last visit to WW or when the account lapses.


    Edit: P.S. It's not worth $15 to me to find out.

    Is the defender named Leisure Suit Larry?

    False. I'm talking about public channels, not any of the SG channels I'm on. There's nothing exclusive about them. Are you trying to organize TF's on broadcast???
  7. Yeah, he can go toe-to-toe with Statesman (and lose, but a normal would be a smear on the pavement).

    Silent taunt?

    So, is the Taunt in dark melee SUPPOSED to be silent? All my other Taunts make noise.

    Specifically Pain Domination and all that.
    As Master-Blade pointed out, not every set is available to every AT that you might expect. For example, Cold Domination is available for defenders, but NOT as a secondary for controllers - although it will be available for controllers after Issue 16 is released.

    They call this 'Power Proliferation' and it is an ongoing process. Rest assured, if you can log in and create a character, EVERY set that has been released is available to you, just not necessarily for every character type.

    Fixed that for you. I love doing TF's and I see tons of them being organized on global channels.

    Why not 45? The market only takes a 10% bite.

    You can use Ouroboros to exemp to level 9 with the Negotiator badge mission. I can't recall the name of it but I used it to hunt Coralax in the Hollows so they would aggro on my badge collector.

    Someone rep'ed me from this post. But they left no comment . . . and their 'status' is so low that it has a grey dot and it had zero effect on my rep points.

    I am plagued by curiosity.

    If I had the power to change one thing about the game it would not be to correct the original TFs or to remove the oldest yet still unresolved bugs or anything like that. It would be to change the "customer no-service" policy to something more attractive than Champions Online or WoW offers.
    And yet so many people have reported positive experiences with customer support. Personally, I have had very few experiences with CS but they have been positive.

    Sometimes there simply is no log to support a position and CS can't do anything. In real life, that might not cut it. Online, it has to. This is the internet. Speaking face-to-face with a store manager is one thing. Typing to someone in a game is another. People will lie/cheat/exploit/whatever. Is everyone like that? Of course not. But you simply can't cut people the kind of slack you would in real life.
  15. So, anyone else read the title as "ham-flavored jello"?
  16. So personal anecdotes/observations and projections based on past trends.
    On the other hand, we've been told flat-out that subscriptions are up.

    I recall some marvelous videos on TomsHardware.com once upon a time. It seems someone was wondering, "What happens if your CPU is running at 100% utilization and you pull the heat sink off?"

    I think it was prompted by claims from Intel that the P4 would throttle the CPU and there would be no permanent damage. This turned out to be true. They also tested an AMD CPU. . . and it set the motherboard on fire.

    JK. It's Cold Blooded, for defeating CoT hellfrosts... which only spawn redside. However, you can farm them in DJ Zero's valentines day mission if you're on a mixed faction team.
    And please note: in order to get the redside CoT to spawn for the mission, a villain must enter the mission first.

    You misunderstand their motive. The villain contacts are lonely and desperate for anyone to talk to. THAT is why they hand out their phone number so fast.

It has a great map with the Fashion Show in Atlas Park - fun!
    All of them will downgrade to EB's since, technically, they are not task forces / strike forces. And I agree that one is the 'best'. It has the best story and it's quite short.

    Oros portal mish

    Actually, the building and spire are the gnomon. The part that people run up to get the badge appears to be a simple support column. Or purely decorative - in a zone with floating buildings, why would they need a support column.

    Sadly, that highly entertaining thread is no longer accessible.
  24. There are arbitrary limits on everything. Some have known reasons, some do not. For example, a base is limited to 18 storage items regardless of plot size. I don't know why the 5x5 room is limited to 8 teleporters.
