  1. At rate you're aging, you'll never catch up to me!
  2. You have Tool Tips disabled in Options.
  3. Were you on Freedom? I have one character there and it got stuck in limbo 3 times this weekend. Each time, I hit the Train station and lost map server. After which, I'd time out trying to log the character back in, failing to loss of map server again. Once was on the way to the last mission of a TF :P . I had to send in petitions for a GM to move the character.

    I didn't have any problems with other characters that I played on other servers over the weekend.

    It auto sidekicks/exemplar to the level of the leader by default, if no mission is set. Once a mission is selected, the auto sidekick/exemplar will change to match the level of the mission.
  5. Also, turn off any travel power you may have on. Every toggle is taking a toll.
  6. I never expected to live this long. I was very impressionable and given this information: reference, I had already contemplated my life and death at an early age. Thus, I can't say that being involved in a disaster would scare me. Not that I have been in any, mind you. I'd be more concern about its inconvenience and cost.

    ATI drivers v11.5-->11.8 have been causing a lot of trouble with the game. See the recent thread.

    Edit: and an older thread
  8. You can't claim an amount that'll push you over the 2 billion limit, at least I couldn't that last time I tried.

    You can't delete an email with an attachment still in it.

    You can return it to sender. Did you send it using your global name? If so, then it should have just bounced back to you again. It'll be at the other end of your email list, being newest.

    If you wait a bit, your email list will probably reset and it'll show. Try zoning, that forces an update to a lot of things.

    relevant nerdy webcomic


    As to Awakens and such, I keep a supply of medium and big insps in email for emergency use or when the going gets tough.

    Tip: using an Awaken followed immediately with a Break Free means you can get up and retreat immediately or if you also take a Catch a Breath in the combo, you can get back into the fight immediately. Like, immediately, yo!
  10. I recently discovered and have just finished reading through the webcomic: Romantically Apocalyptic. Not very much to it at the moment, but shows promise.
  11. I've noticed that sometimes even though a defeated enemy falls down, their (invisible) targeting box remains upright and gets in the way of me trying to select someone behind it.

    I tried "reading a lot" once. I wanted to see how many novels I could finish in a year, reading at an accelerated pace (well, for me). At the end of the experiment, I realized that I didn't remember any of the stories. In fact, at one point, I accidentally bought a second copy of one of the books because I didn't remember reading it!
  13. Last month, I bought and re-read John DeChancie's Starrigger series on Kindle. I already had the paperbacks from when they first came out. I'm also considering re-buying his Castle Perilous series on Kindle, but Amazon charging full price for a non-mainstream author (even though he's one of my favored ones) is giving me pause.

    In between, I've been reading through David Gerrold's collection of short stories on Kindle (sold individually ).

    I just finished "The Second Ship" (The Rho Agenda series) by Richard Phillips on Kindle last night. I must admit that I had low expectations about it since it looked like a cheapo e-novel, but it turned to be well written. It's a bit slow and doesn't have much action, but it kept me interested. I bought the next book.

    Better yet, just leave them open and use these contact lenses.

    Currently, I don't require corrective lenses, but for these I'd wear them anyway.
    I thought you were were talking about these.

    Yup. Although, I haven't encountered it recently.

    Really? I thought the defense from a stealth-type power was just flatly cut in half of whatever amount you had when you picked up aggro.
  17. You can recolor player global chat channel text. While I've never tried to recolor a game chat channel, I would think it might be do-able. Have you tried?
  18. Have your Fire blaster watch the summoning Nictus. When the mini-fluffies are called out, they're stacked on top of each other. The mini-fluffies have relatively low hitpoints. Two quick AOEs (Fire Ball + Fire Breath) could take them all out. Heck, several times, I've Sands of Mu'ed them.

    I'm in total agreement with this. Even if a regular mission uses one of the old farming maps, I literally start to doze before I've worked through half a dozen spawns groups.

    Note: sometimes you need to enable the ability to see the stars ratings (over a player character's head) under:

    Menu-->Options>General tab-->Reticle-->Player Rating = Show Always.

    Yeah, with the strike going on, Verizon will probably not take new orders or do any sort of provisioning. Remember, they're staffed/backfilled by management employees during the strike. Most of whom were probably desk jockeys last week. They'll be concentrating on critical maintenance work for the time being. If the strike last long enough such that the mass of newbies actually learn how to do installations, then Verizon will start taking new orders. However, good workmanship requires a lot of hands on experience which will take time. Bottom line is, now is not the time to be placing an order.
    1. Time Crawl - Recharge: Long
    2. Temporal Mending - Recharge: Long
    3. Time's Juncture - Recharge: Slow
    4. Temporal Selection - Recharge: Very Long
    5. Distortion Field - Recharge: Very Long
    6. Time Stop - Recharge: Long
    7. Farsight - Recharge: Very Long
    8. Slowed Response - Recharge: Very Long
    9. Chrono Shift - Recharge: Very Long

    Well, it looks like this powerset will be easy to slot out: all recharge enhancements
  22. Hasn't this bug been around since Issue 19?
