It was on the Launcher, and that's as close to in-game as the message can be without having a GMOTD pop-up.

The inspirations available via the market are non-tradeable.

Indeed. My point was more that, because of caps, nobody but a tank or brute can hit 90% resistance.

If it were an inspiration, I probably wouldn't claim it, even if it were a bundle. I have a pile of dual and team inspirations in my inbox that I never claim, because I don't strategically use insps very often - I either ignore them for hours on end, or randomly consume them by the handful as quickly as they drop (usually when doing something that I know is more difficult than I should be attempting).

There may be other instances where I wouldn't claim the freebie because I'd never use it, but I'd never complain about what it was. So add me to the "not-we" list too.

It's also a blatant lie.

I WISH it was only daily, and not hourly...

This is only possible for Tanks and Brutes, and even then usually only to one or two damage types. For example, Invulnerability can cap Smashing and Lethal, and Fire can cap Fire resist, but neither will cap Energy, Negative, Cold, Psi or Toxic. On the other hand, if you have any amount of defense to start with, you can often softcap either Melee/Ranged/AoE or S/L/E/N (sometimes F/C too).

That said, softcapping just S/L blocks a LOT of attacks, and adding that to any resistance set will multiply your survivability a LOT. You may still see certain enemies rip through you by surprise though - For example Arachnos have a lot of critters that do Energy/Toxic damage through the Ranged/Energy vector. S/L defense won't block that, and only Stone (in Granite) and Electric will have significant resist to the attack. Likewise, several psi attacks are blocked by Psi defense only, and do pure Psi damage. Few armor sets can stand up to prolonged psionic attacks.

Back to my original comment: The resist caps are 85% for Kheldians and 75% for all others. Like Tanks and Brutes, most of these cannot cap more than a couple resistance types. Kheldians can cap everything with their respective T9 powers, and both can be made permanent (with a LOT of recharge).

The most durable of the non-melee ATs is possibly the Crab Spider branch of the Soldier of Arachnos AT. It can get 50% or higher resistance to all damage and softcap M/R/A fairly easily. It has no protection against debuffs though, so you have to be careful around some enemy groups.

Now that I'm done rambling: Willpower with softcapped S/L will be stronger than softcapped Energy Aura, because Willpower has WAY higher regen. In situations with strong -Regen debuffs, Energy will pull ahead because of its self-heal. Willpower with 32% S/L/F/C/E/N will be stronger, because a small purple is practically a godmode. Willpower also has a self rez if things go south, and with the recent change, it's actually worth using.
I also prefer Willpower's god mode. God modes that crash hard enough to drop your toggles really bug me.

No. They aren't.

My account renewed on the 6th. On the 8th I sent in a petition because I hadn't gotten my points yet. On the 9th, I got a response linking me to a Knowledge Base article and telling me that I'd get my points on the 13th. When I responded with a link to Black Pebble's post saying that I should get my stipend on my billing date, I was told that I was reading it wrong, and it doesn't work the way I think he says.

The Warrior farm isn't part of the story arc, and it still exists. It has been revamped, just like most of her other missions.

It's part of a mission chain; first you have to do a Warrior mission in a cave (glowie objective), then speak to Tina, then you'll be given a mission that takes you to a large ruined city map full of Warriors. You have to defeat Battle Maiden and click a single glowie to complete the mission, so it's pretty easy to avoid accidentally completing.

I just picked the mission up on one of my characters a week or two ago.

There's an odd bug affecting many of Maria Jenkin's and Unai Kemen's missions right now, and possibly some other contacts as well. When you're given a mission that takes place in another dimension, you're often sent to one of the magic portals in Dark Astoria, rather than the Portal Corp portals they should be at. I currently have this mission, Unai Kemen's Council Empire farm (that's the one with 20 glowies, BTW), and Harvey Maylor's demon farm, all located in DA on two different characters.

EDIT: Just after posting this, I remembered that there's a different Warrior mission that uses the same map that exists in both Hero's Hero and Hero's Epic. The version in Hero's Epic has Statesman in it as an ally, so is often called the "Statesfarm" (on my server, at least). If you've already completed the story arc, you can only get the mission through Flashback.

I never use this one to farm, because I like to finish the arc for the Dimensional Warder AVs. I still haven't gotten in the hang of getting my AVs from trials yet.

If that means what I think it does - ie, opens the contact window for the newspaper/police scanner - that will be my new favourite slash command. Or second favourite. /ah is pretty hard to dethrone.

That'll be handy. I hope I remember that the next time someone sneaks a tell in while I'm having a conversation.

What? I got a bundle of fresh-minted sequential twenties, each stamped "Courtesy of Paragon Studios" in red ink. I specifically requested used, unmarked, non-sequential bills.

So mad rite nao.

(26*36^4) + (26*36^5) + (26*36^6) + (26*36^7) + (26*36^8) + (26*36^9) + (26*36^10) + (26*36^11) = 3519940422751950000 valid account names.

So, you can create (3,519,940,422,751,950,000 - x) free accounts, where x = the number of existing accounts, both active and inactive combined.

Off by a factor of approximately 35,000,000. But you were close. Ish.

While technically correct, it's unlikely to be an issue. Autocomplete defaults to "on", so just typing "Ach" should be enough to get the right name. From what the OP said, it sounds like he was finding the listing, but no availability.

An additional way to get the proc is to use AE. If you have a bundle of tickets, or a character that can quickly accumulate them, rolling 10-15 Silver will probably turn one up fairly quickly. You could also roll 15-20, but 10-15 is a smaller pool, so you'll have a better chance of getting the recipe you want. As an additional bonus, you'll have a chance at the Regenerative Tissue and Kismet Uniques, which can usually earn you some decent cash.

Of course guests can use the porters. Not sure why that slipped my mind.

I cancel and resubscribe each month, since I sometimes let my account lapse for a day or two before resubscribing. This month (as usual), I didn't receive my points with my subscription. Due to this post, I sent in a ticket. I just received a reply directing me to this Knowledge Base article (which is older than your post), and told that I won't get my points until the 13th, and to resubmit a ticket if I don't get them then.

So which is it? Do I get my points when I resubscribe, or do they still show up whenever the heck they feel like it?

Kheldians and Arachnos ATs don't get APPs, and Khelds don't get PPPs either.

Not true, characters in old Galaxy City are moved to Echo: Galaxy City, and should be able to leave via the Ouroboros Portal in the zone. As an extra bonus, your level 2 character will be able to pick up the badge in Ouro and get his portal a few levels early. He won't be able to enter until 14, but he'll still have it.

Correct. And you can only use the Empowerment Station in your own base. When they changed storage items so that only SG members could look inside them (Because there was an exploit that let visitors to your base steal from the bins), it also blocked visitors from using any other base items except the crafting table, and possibly the vault.

When they redid the Hollows and added all the other enemy groups (instead of just Outcasts, troll, CoT and Igneous), they adjusted the mission doors, so that things don't get so spread out and random. It's not the RNG - the far-off doors aren't used by any of the Hollows contacts except Meg Mason any more.

And add me to the list of people who still do and love the Hollows, Faultline, Striga and Croatoa missions. The generic missions from the old Issue 0 contacts, I could generally live without though.

At some point in the future, each Friday, for 24 hours only, we'll be getting something for free from the market. You HAVE to log on and purchase the item (which will probably be limited to one per account), and if you don't, you miss out for the week.

I expect most of the items to be consumables, like Team Inspirations and XP boosters and stuff like that, but as Frietag said, there hasn't been an official announcement yet, so we don't know what to expect.

Also: FPARN?

Unless he claimed them, and re-emailed them. Then, like others have said, they WILL expire.

If that's the case, and there's someone you trust, you can let them log into your account and remove them from the email into a character's tray for you. If there isn't, your best bet will be to contact support once you get back - I've heard of them restoring expired email items before, hopefully they'd be able to help in this case. In order to help THEM out as much as possible, please record the date and time (or as close as you can remember) to the time they are slated to expire. They have to verify the loss of the item before they can restore it, and they won't be able to if they have to dig through weeks or months worth of logs.

I thought it was for "Halitosis".
