I haven't updated it in forever and doesn't even have a host anymore, but Splasher can do that in Windows XP or in Windows Vista/7 if you run it in Administrator mode (possibly with UAC disabled only). If you run it in regular user mode, UAC from Vista/7 gets in the way and doesn't let it do its thing.

Currently if you run a level 25-30 TF with a level 40 character, you are exemplared to level 30. I am going to assume that the non-Incarnate TFs that currently cap at level 50 will remain capped at level 50: even if you have 10 level shifts, you will still be 'exemplared' to level 50 for the STF, ITF, etc.

And I have no clue how the level shifts would interact with super sidekicking.

DElicopter?

Heh. When I saw the thread title I instantly thought TF2, too.

Maybe I've always had exceptional teams, but those two have never taken more than 40 minutes. One hour and a half would fall into "sucktastic team" for me.

Your last post prior to this thread was on March 28th 2010. You missed:

- Issue 17: Dark Mirror, with the clones.
- Issue 18: Shades of Gray, with Praetoria.
- Issue 19: Alpha Strike, with the first Incarnate slot.

There's quite a bit of new stuff for you to do. Issue 20 should be here in a few months, and it's been referred to as "the big one" by some devs.

I'm pretty sure it does. You'll get the CD Key to complain to support, but whether they'll exchange it for an US key or not is anyone's guess.

You could, however, have someone with an US Steam account send the game as a gift to you, then Paypal them back. Or gift them back a different $10 game.

Those were a separate code and not part of the Complete Collection. When you bought it on GameStop they printed this 'Perk' code on the back of your receipt.

You can also click the "CD Key" link that appears on the library's "Details" view, and it'll display the COH key for you to apply manually.

It looks like it'll try to redownload the full client to matter what. But you can always use your existing install.

They're not different -- at least, not yet (no revamp). If you do the new Tina McIntyre arc, you're sent to Praetoria outside the city and you fight DE. They look exactly the same as Primal DE.

We didn't have vigilantes/rogues last year. That might be breaking things.

Thanks, I'll try them.

I'm not in the US, so the free shipping is not valid. Cheapest shipping is $17 and it takes forever. I'm still waiting for a DVD set I bought in early October to arrive; here's what the Amazon folks told me when I contacted them:

So, order placed in October 1st, and it's not considered "lost" until December 27th. You see why Amazon is not an option.

Doesn't work for me. PayPal *used* to work, but for the last couple of months it says that the transaction "did not past risk assesment", and that's that. No game time for me. My account expires the 27th and it'll likely remain expired until I manage to hunt down a time card again. Took two weeks to get one last time, and trying to buy them on other websites resulted in various un-fun things, such as this one. So come December 27th, no COH for me for a while.

There is a really nice story arc in the AE which has the premise that the Clockwork King was actually one of Penelope's childhood friends. I think it's Dev Choice, but I can't remember the name or ID off the top of my head.

Avoid teaming with people who take the game so seriously that they feel entitled to call other player's names if things don't go their exact right way.

I lead TFs often and I've had to tell people to chill out and remember it's a game more than once. That badger who wanted to get "all the badges"? I would have told her, "You don't need to get them all in one run. If you don't get them this run, you can try some other time." I am very clear with everybody that I play the game to have fun; in every Master TF run with the old method (no deaths, no temps) I always stated before we enter, "I'm setting this to Master: if we get it, great; if we don't, also great."

So, TFs have not been any less fun for me, and if a TF makes me feel frustrated, I just don't do that one.

Vanessa DeVore was an Art History graduate student in July 2000; that would make her 26-30 years old in 2000. Penelope Yin was introduced in 2006 as a teenager, so it's very possible that she was born while Vanessa was 18-22.

Skipping two blooms = skipping 36 mitos = forfeiting your chance of 3 shard drops. I'd don't think we want to skip blooms.

This assumes your teams are diversified enough to hit all the mitos in every bloom, which I strongly encourage. Put some scrappers in the range team, put some controllers in the tank team. Everybody wins. As you can see in my previous post, in last night's raids I received rewards for 127 out of the 144 mitos; it's not perfect, but it's a lot better than ignoring 24 yellow mitos per raid because you're a blaster.

Dang. I really want to know if this is working as intended now.

Sure thing; I won't be online tonight because I have to work, but send a global tell anyway and I'll send you a channel invite when I am online.
