What I want to know is why on earth did the First Ward mission that sends you into the Midnight Mansion just re-use a midnighter club instance rather than, oh, I don't know, one of the new mansion maps?

Unfortunately they had to delay the muting of all sounds until work on the Visual Sound FX project could be completed. The art team is still struggling to select appropriate fonts to use for BAF! POW! and FREEEEM!

Take it for theme, but don't slot the FF proc in it. The chance of it going off in that power is so low that you'll start to wonder if it isn't broken. I'd go for a damage proc instead.

It'll help you get to Spring Attack as well, which also seems thematically appropriate (assuming you weren't taking Combat Jumping, if you are it doesn't matter).

It lasts until the pet dies.

I can't imagine that the long skirt would clip with any animations that the pencil skirt for females doesn't.

And the pope hat isn't that much taller than the hat from the magic pack.

I have to agree though. If the CoT were redesigned so that players could use their costume pieces, why are there so many that players are not allowed to use? It boggles the mind.

This is why I think that every dialog tree where there are one or more options of your character saying something, should always have the last option be simply "..."

Also a networking guy here for my day job, and echoing what Arcanaville and TonyV said. Responses from port 443 on their web server to high (aka ephemeral) ports are entirely to be expected, especially if your browser is opening multiple connections to load images, etc. Twitchy firewall overreacting.

Going to venture a guess... ZoneAlarm?

It depends how you disable UAC. If you disable UAC and then run as an administrator account, then yes, that's the same as running everything as admin.

What I do is disable UAC and then run as a standard (non-admin) user. That's roughly equivalent to leaving UAC on and unconditionally clicking NO every time UAC wants to elevate something. On the rare occasion I need to install something, I have a separate admin account I can log on using.

Pretty sure I remember seeing it as an option for beam rifle, but as Eric said the beta server is down, so I can't confirm that.

Many controller pairs can kill giant monsters, so long as one of the secondaries has some -regen. It depends on which set and what pets you have available, though -- some will be easier than others.

I played half of an Earth/Storm and Plant/Rad duo that started killing GMs for fun and badges in the mid 30s. Animated Stone makes a surprisingly good tank with some buffs. The only major problem was endurance, we were sucking down blue insps like crazy.

Was also able to take out Jurassik and Adamastor while dual boxing a pair of fire/kins, could probably get most of the rest but haven't tried yet. Spamming transfusion, FS, and siphon power reduces its damage and regen to manageable levels.

Illusion is the obvious choice though, because PA can't be killed. If you can get it perma or overlap with another troller, you basically win automatically so long as you can debuff its regen.

A tanker or brute paired with a defender or corruptor might also be a good way to go.

Hmm, how about under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

If NCLauncher isn't there, it's possible that they've changed it since then.

I don't know if you'll ever be able to get rid of the UAC prompts. As far as I know, the launcher uses the API to request elevation directly, it's not that Windows is detecting it trying to access something.

If that is indeed the case, the only way to get rid of the prompt is do disable UAC entirely and run under a non-admin account (which is what I do on my systems).
