After avoiding it for a loooong time, tonight I accidentally typed \d while trying to type \e and open the enhancement screen. This mangled my nicely spaced bio on yet another character.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease fix this bug!

[/ QUOTE ] Fixed (your post, not the bug) lol

[ QUOTE ]
I had no idea. That should make finding Hess easier for me.

[/ QUOTE ] Just keep in mind that because it's a hazard zone, you'll still have to uncover him on the map at least once first though.

The way I used to find Hess...
Follow the yellow line on the map at the lower end of The Maw and keep going East.
Once I reached the SE corner of The Maw, I went NE until I hit the orange line for The Bog and set my Compass directly on East until I reached Hess at the end of the island. lol

Well the good news is there is a server reset in the morning, so that should fix it up anyway. lol

What server is it on? Cap on Freedom has been having a bit of trouble tonight. i'm wondering if your character is just stuck there.

If you have charges for a click or toggle power, the power will show up in the powers menu under Temp powers

[/ QUOTE ]
This. You need to drag Day Job click powers to your hotbar manually.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just an aside to bring this back on topic and add something useful:

I use this bind to easily lock and unlock the powers in the tray without having to go into the options:
/bind SUBTRACT optiontoggle disabledrag

I don't have the oil slick on any of my characters, but I've used taser and apprentice charm to light other people's before. They work just fine.

I've been checking this game out for a while now, and decided to try out the trial. I signed up, and everything was going smooth until I clicked the link for the installation. Whenever I click the link to the CohUpdater for the PC, I just get a blank white screen - no window pops up, and I can't even install it. I use XP, and I don't think it's a problem with javascript. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?

[/ QUOTE ]

Try this Installer from our FTP.

[/ QUOTE ]

O rly?

And what does the "NA" version of the installer do if I may ask?



[/ QUOTE ] I downloaded it because I was curious, and it appears to simply update the registry, and make your shortcuts and nothing more. That get's the initial installation out of the way. You'd still have to use the updater to download the client.

Dang, didn't know it had a zero-second recharge. I thought it was at least a second or so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope. All travel powers are 0.0s recharge.



[/ QUOTE ]

Inertial Reduction? :P I don't count it as a travel power, but several people do on kins *shrugs*

[/ QUOTE ] That's cheating. lol

On a side note, the VIP Jump Pack is on a long recharge as well. lol

This is of course not taking into account any regeneration.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which in rest you will have capped

[/ QUOTE ] No kidding.. I was simply pointing out the value of the hp and how much credit you should get for each strike of damage. Factoring in regeneration would skew the number depending on the regeneration rate and how much time had passed between each of those attacks in the example.

I was explaining my interpretation of my findings regarding the mechanics of the badge credit.. not the method of badge farming. You still get credit for the badge, even if you are not farming.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah I know, I was just stating =]

As for the farming methods, yeah guids are great for squishies, but behomeths work better for high HP characters (Scrappers, Tanks, Brutes)

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, to finally speak on the actual method.. (since the nerf of the Rikti Captor), If been using 2 CoT Ice Thorn Casters. I don't know how that compares to the beasts, but when their attacks strike at the same time, it puts me down to 25hp, and I barely have enough time to regen before the next hit. This is on a regen scrapper with capped regen in rest.

The only drawback of the Ice Thorn Casters is that they actually do use a second power from time to time. The good part about that is it's only a shield they use on themselves, and only hinders your damage progress while they activate it (instead of an attack), and doesn't pose a threat to your character.

And then it doesn't count as 801dmg, it counts as 1, because you went 1 point over the bonuses.

The dmg taken badges work STRICTLY off of the base HP value (so if you have a stone, or a invuln, I'd advise against using the auto heal, you may think you are getting more DMG, but you are probably getting less. However, it is fine on a Regen, or a WP stalker)

[/ QUOTE ]

From my own experience, I tend to believe that the credit toward this badge is an ALL or NOTHING kind of thing. If the resulting hp falls below the base hp value, you'd get full credit for that attack. Using your example, you will still have to exceed 801 points of damage, but you would still get credit for the full 801, not just 1 point (if the 801 was inflicted in 1 shot).

I tested this back when most of us were using the Rikti Captor to farm this line of badges. I found that putting Dull Pain on auto to increase my HP actually netted me significantly more credit per hour.

Note, this would only be useful for large blows of damage. Using DoT like a lava pit wouldn't benefit from +hp bonuses.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe not with dull pain and earths embrace, I will admit I HAVE NOT verified that. . .but I can prove it on my WP brute. . . I have logs saying it has taken around 100mil points of dmg on hero stats, but um . . . I still don't have the 10 mil badge *sigh* (that is needed for an accolade >&lt

Edit: I reread more carefully what you said, I suppose that could be the case, but I know the first 799 HP wouldn't count for a fact :/ though, you could be right, but either way I still wanted to put that out there =]

[/ QUOTE ] I agree, Herostats simply shows you the full amount of damage the chat has displayed. Even with the Rikti Captor, I was getting getting credit for significantly less than what HS displayed. But I attribute that to the 1-shot rule limiting the damage the character had actually taken... and any damage I might have taken that was low value within that +hp threshold.

Using your example:
as for the first 799 damage..
Getting hit for 450 wont count at all. (resulting hp is 350 above your base hp)
Getting hit for an additional 300 wont count at all. (resulting hp is 50 above your base hp)
Getting hit for an additional 200 should count for full value (resulting hp is finally below your base hp)
This is of course not taking into account any regeneration.

In that case, you still earned 50 points from that bonus. Granted, it's not as good as 800 would be, but you do get some credit for any of the +hp bonuses depending on the status of your actual hp value before and after the damage is inflicted.

NCSoft use to publish two numbers for this and most of their other games in their quarterly financial reports.

Max number of concurrent users online in a quarter.

Number of unique accounts that logged in at least once in a quarter.

The first number can be spiked due to new content coming out or simply a game wide event (2x XP weekend, Rikti/Zombie Invasions, Holiday Event)

The second number doesn't count subscribers who for some reason paid for but never logged in during the quarter (which should be a low number).

They didn't report any numbers with any of their games in their first quarter 2009 report that came out in May, now they simply report income for each game. And since NCSoft is a Korean company, that income is reported in Korean currency. Exchange rates between the US dollar to the Korean Won fluctuate greatly month to month, quarter to quarter. A weak dollar makes this game's income go up in their quarterly reports, a strong dollar has the opposite effect.

The last time they published both numbers, for third quarter 2008, the max concurrent users online was 13,443, unique access was 124,939 across the 15 (including Europe) game servers.

They did release max concurrent numbers only for fourth quarter 2008, 13,823.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't forget that this most likely includes purchasable extras like character slots, server transfers, and booster packs. That would make the subscription amounts less.

[/ QUOTE ] The money from those items would count toward profit of course, and could be included in a value that contained "number of purchases/transactions"... but i don't see how they would be included in a value described as "unique access".

"Unique access" is most likely the number of separate accounts that were active at any point during that time period, which may or may not include trial memberships.

Looks like a classic overheating issue. Some thermal data would be useful.

Even if it is a heat related symptom, it's most likely because it's being pushed beyond it's limitations.

I would dearly like to see a "delete all email as spam" button. That would be more useful than removing emails and forcing spammers to find a more direct route to annoy and interrupt gaming.

[/ QUOTE ]

Like marking emails as spam works so well now.

I don't know about anyone else, but every time I delete an email as spam its un-ignoring a spammer on my global ignore list to make room for the new spammer. This doesn't accomplish anything.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except if you haven't logged on for some time and you have 56 of them - as one poster here had - you don't have to click "spam" 56 times.

*That* was the point.

[/ QUOTE ] Technically, you wont have to click "spam" 56 times anyway, because chances are pretty high that many of those are from duplicate senders. When you click "spam", all other e-mail from that same sender will also be removed. You'll probably only end up hitting "spam" about 35 times. haha

Well, it'll make it recharge faster if you toggle it off. But that's about it.

[/ QUOTE ] No it wont...

Super Speed:
Activation Time = 0.00s
Recharge Time = 0.00s

[Haste] (not [Hasten]) does increase runspeed and flyspeed.
But that's not really a power, it's a temporary buff you may or may not receive by defeating one of the 4 large Labs on Crey maps.

The option to disable email or to have only those on our global friends list or SG should be implemented.

-Tigs

[/ QUOTE ] THIS.. has always been my position, with another stipulation being "SG leaders only" (to prevent characters just joining sgs, spamming everybody, and moving on to the next group).

I've probably been part of at least a dozen separate threads in the suggestion forum regarding this issue, as well a few here, and in Player questions.

I gave up a long time ago. lol

On a side note, you can effectively reduce your own spam by using /hide so people can't use a simple /search to get your name. It may take a little time for the spam to dwindle down, but it does work. AND/OR, since you don't intend to use the email at all, you can ignore the little red letters and the notification in the chat of new mail.

If that doesn't work, change your UI color to almost match the red color, so you might not notice it as much.

If that doesn't work, print your UI and cut out the Email button and tape it onto the screen so it looks like it's always empty. haha

Yeah, but unlike a regular server transfer you end up with an extra slot on your server of choice.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think you get what Mateo is saying.

If you're going to pay to move a slot from on server to another, don't bother. You can simply buy new slots on the server you want.

Slots are purchasable. Right now. They're available for purchase through the character creation screen from the PlayNC store.

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Character_Slot

* 1 slot for $5.99
* 2 slots for $9.99 (approx. $4.99/slot)
* 5 slots for $19.99 (approx. $3.99/slot)

[/ QUOTE ]

And I guess Mateo didn't follow what I was trying to infer when I said "small" fee. I'm sure it was no one's fault but my own for not being clear enough.

I'm aware you can purchase slots, I was suggesting that if there were to be a fee involved for moving a claimed slot, it would be a very small one, perhaps $1.99 or $2.99.

The reason for the smaller fee would be that while you are gaining a slot on one server you're losing one on another. The benefit to the buyer would be, if they are in a similar situation as myself, they would at least be able to use the slots they'd earned.

I have no qualms with paying $5.99 (and cheaper if I buy more at a time) for new slots and most likely will once my altitis fills Virtue up. My issue is merely one of annoyance that a server that I no longer roll alts on has all these extra slots sitting around that I could be using on the server I'm active on.

[/ QUOTE ] I consider $5.99 a small fee, but that's just me.

The point is.. you are warned when you claim the slot that it's not reversible.
If you create a character in that slot, and then change your mind by deleting a character, you'd be cheating the system by then wanting to transfer that empty slot to another server.

Buying a slot will give you a new slot, without losing the slot on the other side. That may be worth more to somebody because they still have the previous slot to make a character in later without having to do a slot purchase anyway.

I'd be assuming you were pretty full on the previous server to begin with, or else if you weren't intending on making a character in that slot, why did you claim it in the first place? If you change your mind and end up wanting to use it again, it'd still be there if you bought a slot instead of transferring.
I'm sorry, but it'd be your own fault. Buy a new slot and move on. Transferring newbs and/or empty slots of any kind is jut not cost effective.

Moral: Don't claim a slot until you are actually full and "need" the slot to create your next character. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to add the slot, nor accept the terms of it being permanent.

[ QUOTE ]
Possibly a very small fee? Or they could make it a one time thing per account maybe? No idea, tho it is something I would take advantage of if it were available.

[/ QUOTE ] That'd be like paying to do a server transfer on a newb character. It's probably easier to have you buy the slots on the other server.
