    Right. IIRC, when the Veteran Respecs first came out, it told you to type /respec to use them, but it never worked.

    Currently, it correctly tells you to see the contact when you claim the Veteran Respec.

    However.. if you claim a Vet Reward, but don't use it. It still tells you that you can type /respec to begin respecing your character the next time you log in. Doing so simply tells you to see the contact instead.

    You are assuming they are stealing card numbers, but...

    You can buy VISA gift cards (for example) that work just like any other credit card. You can have as many as you want and create as many accounts as you want with them. They are anonymous and don't have to be stolen...

    Right. It says that a dependent minor's account may be paid for by somebody else, but then that account should still only be used by that minor. The adult should buy and use their own account if they want to play as well.

    However, most people look the other way for the scenario described.
  4. They should be available for any account.

    Pain Domination is currently only available as a Secondary powerset for Corruptors and Masterminds.


    Also.. there is only one version of the game. The current Issue includes all previous Issues. For example, you can't download i13. You already have it.

    Lowercase works just the same as capital. I've never capitalized any of my code, and the program parses it just the same.

    Also, the forum automatically made your code lowercase because you didn't use [noparse]

    So, in essence, if I happen to see 6 copies at $9.99ea on a shelf I should grab them and be paying $9.99/month for 6 months of sub time?


    Thankies =)
    Yes and no.

    You can certainly add Good vs Evil and extend your time by 30 days.. but you can only do that for each type of retail code ONCE.

    Buying multiple copies wont do you any good unless you have more than one account, or need some Christmas gifts for friends. lol

    But now its gone? I can go 200 days on an active account without logging in and not lose the stuff I have in WW? Really?

    if this is true, this is my happiest COH day in a long time. This is even better than a longer duration for SB
    The only thing I'm concerned about is what if your credit card expires? or you use paypal or timecards to pay for your account? or you have to change your payment method for any other reason? and there is a slight lapse while you fix it.

    Does the 60 days start when the account becomes inactive, or does every character already logged off for 60 days suddenly wipe?

    With the code command, you don't have to reformat your spaces.

That's a big problem when trying to make a presentable table, because it prevents me from making straight columns.

    Once upon a time, [code] used to force all symbols to be given equal spacing, so that smaller ones simply had more room around them, like you'd see in pure plain text. That does not appear to be an option any more, and I can't seem to find a font that does that.
    I see what you are saying.. well maybe there is a particular font that you can use?

  12. You just used it right now. You can now use the [noparse] command to show [img] tags and such without having to "trick" the system into displaying them by inserting code within the code, like [img[i][/i]]. Other programming language might be a bit different though.

    I suppose you could just nest it like [code][noparse] Content here [ /noparse][/code] and see what happens. I don't know about how the alignment would work though. Good luck!
  13. It works the same way with the components on the motherbaord as it does on a separate card. The only difference is being able to customize the type of card you have and what quality of sound it provides.

    There is a myth about gaining an extra 5fps in games by having a card, but I've never experienced any such event. If there is any kind of increase, it isn't noticeable... especially on systems with dual/quad processors, where any minimal load taken off the cpu wouldn't really affect the game anyway.


    YMMV

    I was trying to find a thread that gave tips on what missions are better (read:easier) to run to get some of the more difficult badges, like the 30 minute time limit at higher levels, but I haven't been able to find one yet. Do you have any suggestions?
    46-50 actually has a few good sub30 arcs, like:
    The Origin of Power
    Ouroboros Initiation
    Welcome to Vanguard

    YMMV

  16. I wonder if it is a bugged animation and/or a side effects of a Mystic Fortune or DayJob de/buff?

    That might go off every time you log in or zone.

    They are creating new accounts with new "identities" (which are most likely fake) each time. New fake email address, new fake contact information, and likely new (most likely stolen!) credit card info.
    Or easy to obtain VISA gift cards.. which are anonymous.

    Check his signature for the latest ones.
    Thank you for the shout out!

    Yes, Keep an eye on my signature or subscribe to that thread for current calendars. I always make them a month in advance.

    Sorry I don't have any official Double XP, Rikti invasion, or Halloween/Winter/Valentines event news listed on them though. I made them so I can plan out my weekly TF groups and such... and just to keep changing my desktop wallpaper. If I had any inside information, I'd certainly add that as well. (pokes Mods) lol

    By the way, for larger resolutions, they are not designed to be fullscreen wallpaper, but to use the "Centered" option and then you can select a color of your choice for the border... otherwise it may stretch the calender depending on your aspect ratio.

    Enjoy!

    PS - I know my Reputation is hidden, but feel free to use it anyway. Any feedback is definitely appreciated.

    I will admit I only tested it as "wdwloadfile" and "wdwsavefile", and assumed the silent would work. Apparently the "silent" extension is only for binds.

    Oh well.. at least you got it to work. I hope it doesn't interfere with any of the other commands you have in your string.

This game has so much to do, so anything that helps me not feel stuck doing something tedious like "fight 200 of X that you can only find in about 3 missions and they're not even clumped together in the same spawn" is great news to me.

    Granted, this is simply my opinion, and other altaholics may feel differently.
    I wouldn't mind badge collecting on every toon if it wasn't for all the Ouroboros and Invention badges. I think many will agree that's when people started to leave behind most of their secondary collectors. lol

    Is it me, or...?

    The Atta mission is a special one. IIRC, it's programmed to be -1 at the beginning and +2 at the end. That's just the way it's written.

    I can remember being on teams who walk in and see Blue and Green cons and go out to raise the Rep and reset, only to be faced with Purples they cannot defeat by the time they get to the end of the mission.

    I think we're technically supposed to level up as we fight through that mission, which would make the boss only +1 by the time we get there. I don't know.
