  1. Edit: Question answered above!
  2. At least phasing technology will only be used sparingly, since it doesn't play well with zone events.

    Been playing since Issue Zero; never seen this happen. In fact, it should work the same as iTrials - if you don't participate enough or don't finish it with everyone else, you aren't rewarded.*

    *Unless everyone else drops the TF, leaving you as the sole TF member, and you complete the TF solo.

    Beam Rifle/Traps corr. Or DP, or AR. AR might be bad on the soloing GMs stuff tho
    Just wanted to say I love your avatar.

    If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.
  8. I decided to go with WP. In the end, the additional Recovery for the End-heavy TW attacks and the Psi protection were the tipping points. The self rez is a nice addition too.

    However, I'll see how he plays out before making any final decisions. I don't mind deleting a low-level toon if things end up not being as fun as I hope.

  10. The only thing that changed on the last patch was the ability to actually summon (and keep) a pet out using travel powers that suppress (almost) every other power. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean they actually added a "walk AI" to the pets at the same time. This is the default follow behavior for any NPC in the game; they will "slinky" if you're not moving at full speed.
  11. It's under the Known Issue header, so the former.

    Paragon Wiki IS at CoH Titan. You're thinking about the Wikia site, which isn't supported by the forums community. But both paragonwiki and wiki.cohtitan resolve to the same servers hosted by TonyV and the Titan Network.

    It's a good question, but regardless of who's actually handling the "nuts and bolts", the end result leaves something to be desired, IMPO.

    A Russian Imperial Stout. A good strong beer for a good strong attack set.
  15. It's what happens when an SMTP server can't deliver outgoing mail. Chalk another up to the NCSoft web ops team - bad forums, bad mail server

    Just as long as we aren't making Zwill the scapegoat for these continued SNAFUs, I share your sentiment. Am disappoint. NCSoft web ops, get your act together plz.

    I will definitely concur on this point. I'm sure it doesn't help that, in their infinite wisdom, NCSoft laid off a sizeable portion of their North American staff earlier this year. I'm sure that hasn't effected their response time at all

    I would have been happier if the answer was, "Sorry, we screwed up" rather than, "Lineage II>>>City of Heroes." Get it together, Paragon.
    The forums are srsbsns, apparently. Even moreso than NCSoft maintenance a property that is doing very well post-F2P launch.

    SRS BSNS.

    My empathy for your rejection of Zwill's explanation (and the situation being above and beyond his control at that) is vacant. Killing the messenger is always bad form, DB.

    Exactly. If the weapons didn't scale, the character's hands still would, meaning that a character's hands could be buried in the weapon model.

    Whenever i think of identifiers such as this, it makes me think of someone's forum reg date/post count or that ranking thing that you removed a while back.

    I don't think it will cause an uproar or outright discrimination towards non-subscribers but it might color some people's perception of that poster/poster's message.

    Yes i know, it's not much of a problem, but if you can help it, why tempt it?
    The first answer that comes to mind is: the moderation team. It's easier for a Free player to abuse the forums (and create a new Free account and do it all over again) than a Premium or VIP player (who could be account banned from the forums).

    Looks like they'll be experimenting with how much access they want to give certain account types. I'm betting they'll be keeping a weather eye out for how much abuse happens from Free players, as well as possibly allowing Premium players much greater access than they have now.

  24. Wow all, the amount of vitriol on this thread makes even me blush.

    Lineage II is flush with new blood, so resources had to be temporarily shifted. I'm sure worse things have happened in the world, or in a video game.

    At the end of the day, I'm just happy to have an official forum at all. Yes, the logout thing is absolutely annoying as all get-out, and yes, I was just as disappointed when I discovered that the forum fix had been postponed again, but I have worse things to worry about then getting logged out of a forum these days (like finals).

    In fact, I think I need to attend to a few of them
