    What level was the rest of the team?

    It sounds to me, that one of the team-members was level 35, and as you can't have more than 5 levels in between, you didn't get xp till your mentor hit level 31, and your combat-level got to 30.

    [/ QUOTE ] This.

    The foes conning red to you isn't as important as the levels of the rest of the team members. For example: You could be fighting blues and greens not sidekicked.. and still get no xp if there was a lvl 50 on the team.

    Stamina

    [ QUOTE ]
    Or you could do what I've done, not take Stamina on any character in many long years of playing! *gasp*

    Just bought it on one of my toons yesterday and only because there were no other thematically suitable powers available to choose. So, depending on your playstyle, PvP'er vs PvE, solo or team, Archetype etc, I'm only commenting to point out that it's not the essential that I've heard so many people claim.

    I'm just sayin'...

    [/ QUOTE ] I have a few characters that don't have Stamina either.. but each of them have their own type of recovery bonus: Transference, Consume, Quick Recovery, Recovery Auras, etc..
    and/or a type of Endurance discount like Vigilance or Conserve Power.

    They seem to do just fine without Stamina... especially when paired with other people who have recovery buffs as well.
  3. Yep, it's been like that for about 2 years now. It's kinda funny actually. lol

    He used to be in the Crash site before the Rikti invasion opened up the War Zone and he was moved to PI, but his info was never changed.

    Also, while doing the Trial, I don't think there is anything in the story directly telling you to go to RWZ for the patrols. You either have to remember where he used to be (where it would have been obvious where the objectives are), ask somebody who remembers, or follow a walkthrough guide. lol

    1 death.

    Respec went easy of course.

    As mentioned above, Alt's STF was a great success! The TF as a whole wasn't even a challenge at all this time. I kept LR away from the team with ease and we had [Bonfire] on our side to prevent the towers from being healed by the repairmen. I didn't even die, living up to Tabby's MoSTF badge title... which I was surprised about actually, because I didn't even take the usual precautions. I will attribute that to DrH's great healing abilities and a 3 second recharge on absorb pain. lol

    I was hoping for the "i phail" award (lol), but Thor got it while trying to ghost to the tree. Drog soon followed while playing around with the tree.. thinking it wouldn't be able to hurt him. We LoL'd.

    Nice job everybody. It was a fun, successful night once again!
  5. I just call Marcus Valerius in Cimerora and grab a mission. No need to drop it later because it's timed and will expire by the time you get doing whatever it is you really want to do anyway.

    also.. on some toons, I keep a mission from Daedalus open so I can use my mission transport power to get there really fast for ITF teams. lol

    I'm pretty sure it's directly related to just resizing the chat window; I get this a lot on characters with larger chat windows. I've gotten decent results shrinking the window back to near-default size, which seems to fix it at the cost of fewer lines displayed.

    [/ QUOTE ] I've always played with non-default window scaling... both above, and below. I've never had this issue.

    I have never adjusted the font size though, which I had heard can cause issues with seeing text in the chat box.

    I've been told its the sites that avatars are hosted on that causes the issue most of the time, and why it doesn't happen every time.

    On a side note, I use Firefox, so I don't have to worry about it.

    I swear no one listens to the rules

    Rule 1 of fight club is you DO NOT talk about fight club
    Rule 2 of fight club is you DO NOT talk about fight club.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the fight is over.
    4th RULE: Only two guys to a fight.
    5th RULE: One fight at a time.
    6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.
    7th RULE: Fights will go on as long as they have to.
    8th RULE: If this is your first night at FIGHT CLUB, you HAVE to fight.


    Obviously, the Fight Club rules do not apply to PvP, so here is my revision to the list:

    3rd RULE: If someone says "stop", they are an easy target. GET THEM!
    4th RULE: Only two guys to a fight... until one of them starts to lose.
    5th RULE: One fight at a time... unless you see an easier target pass by.
    6th RULE: Do not pass go, Do not collect $200. Go directly to the hospital.
    7th RULE: Fights will go on as long as everybody still has full health. Then run.
    8th RULE: If this is your first night at PvP, don't cry when you lose... but expect crying if you win.

    Edit:
    I don't PvP.. and I'm clearly joking

    ATI or NVIDIA?

    First, make sure your old video card driver/software is completely removed before installing the new one...

    "none of my distanced edges are smooth"
    Turn off Depth of Field effects.

    "the forefront boxes(Enhancement tray etc) go transparent."
    There is also an option for Window Opacity. Make sure you turn that down if you don't want them transparent. Many people get into the habit of "cranking everything up to max" after getting a new card, not realizing what they are changing. It looks like your Gamma might be out of whack as well.

    "Then theres an even more funky issue whereby all the pannels on the screen switch to tray icons or something to that effect."
    Looks like you have some rogue icons there.. lol
    You might want to try Verifying Files as well.

    Server status?

    [ QUOTE ]
    Regular Mon & Fri morning maintenance.

    Sometimes you need a hard refresh to update a web page. Hold CTRL down as you click the refresh button.

    I'm seeing most servers up, but some unknown. Sometimes they don't let folks in until all are fully up.

    [/ QUOTE ] The Server Status page uses a script that refreshes itself. There shouldn't be any need to refresh that page.

    That aside, I had the webpage open and waiting.. and also eventually noticed all servers as being UP, and tried to log back in.. only to find that it wouldn't let me in. Switching back to my browser I notice they were Down again. It was kinda misleading.

    Either that, or wait to Go Rogue(tm).

    Seeya there!

    [/ QUOTE ] This.. I'm dying to bring Tabby on the Villain version.. rofl
  12. [ QUOTE ]

    Updating the roster. This is TONIGHT! Looks like the Statesman TF could really use some debuffers!

    [/ QUOTE ] I agree. I also hope we can get some powers like Bonfire to take action against the repairmen as they are spawning. Hopefully, we can prevent the towers from respawning too many times. lol

    Game of DOOM

    [ QUOTE ]

    looks fine to me:-), An the wireless is for 2 other comps upstaires , so yea it's the Game of Doom I tell you :-)

    [/ QUOTE ] Except that information leads me to believe that your system specs are a bit lower than most of ours..

    The hardware itself may not be broken, but it wont perform as well.

    Luna De Nocturne

    [ QUOTE ]
    She has really sacrificed a great deal of her time and put forth a monumental effort to help others remember and re-discover the fun this game really has to offer. Not only the game content but the fun of meeting new players, talking with each other, sharing the good times and the bad.

    [/ QUOTE ] It's true, if it wasn't for getting involved in her Monday Night TF plan.. I probably would have stopped playing by now.. I already spend most of my times in the forum, and seem to only ever play the game when we have the events. (If you see me on, I'm probably AFK.. and really in the forum) lol

    Plus.. now I have another lvl 50 character that probably would have never even existed if it wasn't for being part of the Monday night Horde... and Luna is the one that gave me the idea for it.

    I can't thank her enough for putting these together, and I'm more than willing to keep leading teams and do anything I can to help keep the events as successful as they are... (although it would be nice to be on Luna's team at some point for a change... we never even really played together on our pact'd characters! rofl)

    Luna.. FTW!
    the Horde lives on..
  15. Ready! (but willing to stand aside if other people need the badge)

    Honestly I don't know why the GMs don't use global tells anyway.

    [/ QUOTE ] This.. it would make it easier to communicate about an issue after switching characters... instead of using the longer process of waiting for an e-mail.
  17. [ QUOTE ]
    Next time that happens, look for a debuff icon under your health window and right click it for the actual name of the debuff and its stats. Take pics.

    [/ QUOTE ] And if possible.. check your Combat Attributes to see who cast the debuff onto you.

    Next time I'm on ITF.. I'll keep an eye out for it.

    Pocket D.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Had a friend try and use her on a villian and it said that she can not trust the motives of villians.. lol so it looks as if only heroes can level in pocket D.

    Actually would be happy if a villain could use war witch also don't need another trainer just the ability for both to use the trainer.

    [/ QUOTE ] wow. that's kinda unexpected.. but funny actually. If she can't trust villains, why is she in PD? lol

    GUI Screenshot

    Two ways:

    /screenshotui 1
    Then press your screenshot key

    -or-

    Press Print Screen, and paste it into your favorite picture editing program.
  20. The door to an AE mission is always in the zone of the contact the leader of the team talks to. If you really felt the need, you could talk to the contact in a different zone inbetween missions, and the next mission would be in that zone instead.

    Isn't War Witch a trainer now? I thought she was cross-faction though.

    [/ QUOTE ] I assumed this also.. but I think the OP meant they want another trainer... one that is a villain... to keep it "fair"... not like it should matter. lol
  22. [ QUOTE ]
    Mateo, he's not talking about the real numbers information in the Respec screen. What he's talking about is the tooltip information that's been popping up for as long as I can remember when you hover over a power in the slotting screen during the respec. It's the same as you get in the Management screen when you hover over a power. It doesn't lst real numbers, just the percentages of the slotting.

    [/ QUOTE ] I know what he was referring to. He linked a photo of it.

    The popup he linked to wasn't always there. Hovering a power or enhancement used to display info in a small window in the bottom right corner of the screen instead. The tooltip was added and the window was removed... and I believe that was done post- Real Numbers.

    Yes, before real numbers, I've seen the percentage show up while you are placing enhancements (in respec or not).. but not while simply hovering over a power. You'd have to have an enhancement in your "hand" that is affecting that power to see any kind of info about particular percentages.

    It's a bit depressing how that warning has to be made

    [/ QUOTE ] It's even more depressing that you know it's true. lol

    [/ QUOTE ]Yeah, cause I've told people to type something, and to show them what to type I put it in quotes (" not [quote]) and then they typed it with the quotes...

    [/ QUOTE ] or when suggesting something like this:

    /bind numpadenter beginchat "/chansend Channel [$name] "

    results in seeing something like this:
    [Channel] Master-Blade: [$Master-Blade] test

    I LoL
  24. It's also very bugged. For example, you can't make the hostage a waypoint and see how far away you are from them. Well.. you can, but when the hostage moves, the waypoint doesn't move. The image on the map will move with the hostage, but not the destination flag you actually see on the terrain.

    Also, on maps with multiple hostages, setting one of them as a waypoint sometimes sets them all as a waypoint, but only one location is shown on the terrain. Also, dead hostages still show up on the map, even after the body is gone and cannot be targeted anymore.


    But I stil like the feature. lol
