    Yes, the pet procs require the respective pet channel. ( eg. pet healing delivered for pet build-up, pet combat for recharge slow slotted in a pet etc.)

    Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated
    There were a few posts in Technical Issues & Bugs forum that mentioned turning off Mouse Pointer Trails fixed the invisible cursor issue.
  3. Just to add, you can also monitor when it fires by checking the "Healing Delivered" chat channel.

I'm not describing it well but you'll figure it out quickly. Like if you're going to 3-slot Hasten with Recharge IOs, you'd select a recharge IO for the first slot then middle-click in the other two slots to repeat the IO in those slots.
    Me neither! Awesome tip, thanks.
  5. In another thread I remember a person fixed it by disabling Mouse Trails. Give that a try?

    Yes, and I was saying for those who don't want to type it all in, there is the simple "click on the person's name in chat window" option.

    I know these are really basic questions and I'm sorry for such newbish-ness. Thanks, though!
    They have added the ability to click on the person's name in the chat window, and from there one of the new options in the pop up is to " Send [PersonName]'s team leader a message "
  8. Note that the Hellion Fire event in Steel Canyon, and the Troll Rave in Skyway, are disabled during the Winter Event (it was mentioned that they caused conflicts with the Winter Lord spawning).

    Here's the Wiki page : Entrusted with the Secret

    The Midnighter arc which gives the badge is the second arc from Mercedes Sheldon: The Magic Man, but the Wiki page does list all the other ways to obtain the badge.
  10. Haven't seen any Troll Raves or Steel Canyon Fires since the Winter Event started running, so that might be the reason ( whether it's a bug or a design problem is left to the Devs I guess ).

    Open the team window and "Quit Taskforce".

    This was changed recently as I have the Naughty Halo on a level 29. This might have changed when they introduced the new auras, and the combat-only options, as the halos have a combat-only option now as well.

This makes no since to me, how would not filling your alpha slot drop you 4 levels?

    Now I do know that once they unlock the rare and ultra-rare enhancements for your alpha slot there will be a level shift, but I’m not sure what that means exactly, will it mean you will con at a level 54 without really being a level 54?

    So my question then is, as I understand it, you must have your Alpha slot unlocked to be part of a team running either Apex or Tin-Mage, but do you need to have it filled at this time? How would a +33% bonus to endurance or damage make any difference in what level the mobs are to you.

    From the patch notes:

    Quote:
    Task Forces (Incarnate-only)
    We have added two Task Forces for characters who are level 50. These TF's should be tackled by characters who have slotted the Alpha slot with a power. Emperor Cole has perfected a debuff that affects characters who have no Alpha Abilities slotted. Characters without an Alpha Ability can still attempt the TF but it will be significantly more challenging.
    • Apex Task Force - see Apex in the Rikti War Zone to thwart an attempted invasion from Praetoria
    • Tin Mage Task Force - see Tin Mage Mark II in the Rikti War Zone to take the battle back into Praetoria
    So, if you do not have the Alpha Slot slotted with a power, the game mechanics put a -4 level debuff on you for those Task Forces.

    This is different than the level shift you get from the higher tier Incarnate enhancements ( which are yet to be released ).

    You can also talk to Mender Ramiel for the in-game info.

  15. Got 2 shards during a Rikti invasion last night; the last one was obtained just as it ended so I scrolled up in the chat and it had dropped from a Headman Gunman.

    Just wondering can anyone tell me how much defense one actually loses from Stealth when you attack? (more importantly, how much you actually retain).
    You lose half of the defense bonus when revealed. Red Tomax's site will give the numbers, just use the drop down to select the Archetype and you'll see the numbers for defense ( it shows one value that can be suppressed and a second that ignores suppression. Add them together for non-suppressed value.)

  17. It might work similarly to the To-Hit Build Up proc slotted in Invincibility.
    Rise to the Challenge increases regen rate when surrounded by foes in melee range, so try standing next to an enemy to see if the Regen Tissue kicks in then.

    Also note you don't get a graphical effect to indicate build-up from the proc. Watch for the icon, or add "Healing Delivered" channel to your chat window and it will show the build-up [and +end proc] message in that channel.

    When using the mouse to run, how do you make your character stop moving forward when you release the mouse buttons? All of us continue to zoom forward after releasing the buttons.

    How do you lock your powers in the power tray? I know there is a way to do this, or at least there used to be way back in '04 and '05, or I'm just old and "THINK" there was

    Any and all responses will be/are appreciated.

    To remove the autorun from kicking in when pressing both mouse buttons, type in:

    /bind mousechord "+forward"

I want to start up a character and sort of play through the game linearly a bit?

    Any advice?

    Here's a good webpage to follow the various story arcs per level and per (origin) contact. I filtered by Hero-side story arcs but you can change the settings at the top to suit your needs:

    Mission Guides: Red Tomax (Hero story arcs)

    You'll find the main origin contacts will have a few storylines that continue between the level ranges, like the Vahzilok, the story behind the Skyraiders, and later on stories about the various groups and the connections / interactions between them Lost / Rikti / Freakshow / Crey / Skyraiders / Nemesis / Malta.
    Circle of Thorns and Devouring Earth story lines tend to spread through most of the game.
    As mentioned, added-on zones like Croatoa, Striga, The Hollows and revamped Faultline have contacts and storylines that are self contained within them.

    Hope that helps!

    The most common mistake I'm seeing is trying to Trick or Treat in zones that are not the appropriate level for the character.

    From the Wiki: Halloween Trick or Treat

    Quote:
    Zones

    Trick or Treating only works if the player was in a zone with a level appropriate for their current combat level. The following are the appropriate levels for various zones:
    Heroes

    01 - 11 Atlas Park
    01 - 11 Galaxy City
    05 - 15 Kings Row
    05 - 15 The Hollows
    07 - 15 Perez Park
    10 - 20 Steel Canyon
    10 - 20 Skyway City
    10 - 20 Faultline
    11 - 20 Boomtown
    20 - 30 Independence Port
    20 - 30 Talos Island
    20 - 30 Striga Isle
    20 - 30 Terra Volta
    21 - 30 Dark Astoria
    20 - 30 Croatoa
    30 - 40 Brickstown
    30 - 40 Founders' Falls
    30 - 40 Crey's Folly
    33 - 40 Eden
    40 - 50 Peregrine Island
    40 - 50 Firebase Zulu

    Villains


    01 - 10 Mercy Island
    05 - 15 Port Oakes
    10 - 20 Cap au Diable
    20 - 30 Sharkhead Isle
    25 - 40 Nerva Archipelago
    30 - 40 St. Martial
    40 - 50 Grandville

    Both


    Since all PvP zones automatically exemplar anyone entering to a specific level, anyone entering the zone is brought to a combat level appropriate to the zone, so all zones are appropriate for Trick or Treating for anyone of a high enough level to enter the zone.
    20 - 50 Siren's Call
    30 - 50 Warburg
    15 - 50 Bloody Bay (Bugged. Trick or Treat range appears to be levels 10-20, but since all characters are set to level 25, they no longer meet the level requirement.)
    35 - 50 Rikti War Zone
    35 - 50 Cimerora
