  1. At 50, EVERYONE is "Double Inf, no XP", regardless of what their options are actually set to, unless something changed since the last time I checked.

    Tights!

    I posted this in the All Things Art some time ago, but it seems that this is a good spot to re-post it, especially since patterns have been OKed for the discussion:

    We need a pattern that makes the costume Color 1 on the left half, and Color 2 on the right, somewhat similar to this incredibly crappy MS Paint mock-up:


    Also, add me to the list of people who want whites that aren't painted on or see-through and masks that are actually masks.

    This is not gambling.

    Neither are the Super Packs.

    You used to be able to gift them to other players by using the drag-and-drop method. Doing so stripped the +'s and reverted it to a standard Hami-O. I don't think that's been possible for quite some time though.

    You also used to be able to put them into base storage and pass them along that way. One of the recent changes to bases broke something, so they blocked you from putting combined Hami-Os in the bins.

    The new auto-sorting of bins adds an extra "feature" to combined Hami-Os: If you have two Hami-Os in the same bin that are identical, except for a + or ++ on one of them (I have a Synthetic Nucleus 50 and a Synthetic Nucleus 50+ in my bin), the system can't decide which should come first, and rapidly swaps their positions. Rather amusing to watch. ;P

    Is that a permanent license (Like the Alignment System) or a temporary one (Like the Market or IOs)? At that price, I'd hope it was permanent.
  6. No, I'm afraid you still don't get it.

    -I had a character on Defiant. I had no Server Slots on Defiant. When I selected that character, I was unable to even click the transfer button until I after I unlocked it.
    -When I unlocked the character, the Transfer button lit up, and I had to spend a SECOND slot to move the character to Victory.
    -My characters on Exalted had their Transfer buttons greyed out too, and because Premiums can't unlock slots there, there was NO way to move them off the server.

    However, according to what Rodion said, the devs realized that that was either stupid, or broken, and fixed it - which makes this entire conversation moot.

    Fixed.

    I assure you that what I posted was true when I attempted to transfer a character as a Premium a while back. When I posted on the forums and submitted a ticket, I had both players and GMs assuring me that it was working as intended.

    I don't have any transfer tokens at the moment, and like Rodion, I don't feel like wasting money to test this, but if it now works as one would expect (ie, you can move a locked character as long as you have an unlocked slot on the destination server), that's a good thing, and I'm glad that they changed or fixed it, as the case may be.
  8. What he hell is wrong with you, man? DON'T CLICK THE PANCAKING GLOWIES!

    Noob. :P
  9. Nobody's debating any of that. All I was warning the OP of is that if they wait to move characters until after they're Premium, they won't be able to, because locked characters can't be transferred until after they're unlocked - which can't be done in the case of the Exalted Server. Show me where in the Side by Side Comparison it explains that.

    Players dropping to Premium have no one to blame but themselves if they don't take the time and if necessary spend the money to transfer characters off of Exalted they want to continue playing before their sub expires.
    The problem is that the need for TWO character slots to move a character while Premium (One on the server of origin, one on the destination server), and the inability to move a character off Exalted aren't documented anywhere in the game. Basically, you're saying "Well, if you don't do something that nobody told you about, it's your own damn fault." I was providing that information so that the OP knew that they can't wait until after their sub lapses - Which Agge's post implied they could (whether she meant it to or not).
  11. If you can slot a damage SO in it, and it is in your Primary, Secondary or Epic powersets (not sure about Pool powers), it will benefit from Interface.

    Anything that deals constant damage, like a toggle or rain/patch will check once on activation, and once every ten seconds after. Any attack initiated by yourself or your henchmen will check on every attack. Interface is borderline overpowered on some masterminds.

    And even though you didn't ask, yes, [Gang War] benefits from Interface too.

    At level 1 and level 50, 0.

    For all other levels, you could test empyrically; there are far more than 50 exploration badges, so it would be easy enough to step on one at each level up and check. Alternatively, you could log in a mix of various-level characters and pick up an explore on each and see if you can graph them into a straight line or smooth curve.

    It's possible that they simply give XP equal to an even con minion, but I don't think that's the case. IIRC, it's 10 for a badge, 14 for an even con Hellion minion at level 2, and at level 49, I think badges give far less than minions.

    Actually... No. You can't.

    Before I went Premium, I moved a character I wanted to reroll to a different server. When I decided that I wanted to bring him back to my main server to strip his IOs, I discovered that the only thing you can do to a locked character is unlock or delete them. I had to use one of my server slots to unlock him before I coould move him - even though I had a Transfer Token, the Transfer button was greyed out until he was unlocked.

    Since a Premium can't unlock slots on Exalted, there's no way to transfer them off that server, unless you do it before your subscription ends.

    /playerlocale x


    Just tried that, and if I enter any number other than 0, it says "Invalid Locale".
  16. My understanding is that if you log into Zunkuft (German Language), the game will be in German, if you log into Vigilance (French Language), the game will be in French, and if you log into any other server, the game will be in English.
  17. That's occasionally happened ever since Shards were introduced. It's pretty rare, so I don't think anybody's been able to pinpoint what makes it happen.

    When I saw that picture, I had no idea who it was, so I right-clicked it and selected "View Image", and then read the filename in my address bar. It is most definitely Diabolique; the devs say so.

    As Grouchy said, Premium players get a base of 2 slots. If you bought 24 extra (bringing you to 36), you get the base two + 24 unlocks = 26 slots.

    If you bought 36 slots on one server, then that means that you've unlocked the fourth page of character slots. The fourth page is VIP only. Check on a server that you have no characters on, you'll see that the fourth page is marked "Unlockable for VIPs". You can apply your unlocks to whichever characters you want, even those on the fourth page, but you can NEVER unlock more than 36 characters per server on a Premium account; you must resubscribe to get access to those last 12.
  20. An Interface shouldn't have any effect on YOUR regen. I suspect that this is a Mids' bug. I just checked, and can confirm that selecting any Diamagnetic Interface with a -regen component results in the player's regen being reduced in Mids' though.

    I was actually considering posting a similar suggestion last night, but never got around to it, so consider me /signed.

    I hadn't taken Mo badges into account, but I was going to suggest the "No Incarnate powers" setting for both TFs and Flashbacks. Of course, the Flashback version would only be needed for the 45-50 bracket, and I was going to suggest a new badge for it: Uncarnate - You have completed a level 45-50 story arc through flashback while voluntarily stripped of your Incarnate powers.

    Correct. But with the introduction of Super Stunners, a LOT more people have been noticing it lately.
