  1. For City of Hero specific abbriviations, check the Paragon Wiki. For example,
    Bridging, PL, Anchoring, IO's, HO's

    Other places to check would be Wikipedia, acronymfinder.com, and UbanDictionary.com (though the last is rated PG-13 at the very least).
  2. You need to be introduced to Maria. You can't talk to her directly.

    Check with some of your earlier contacts who still show up in your active contact list. One of them might introduce you to her. Or go run radio missions and complete a safeguard mission. The detective might introduce you to her. Or run some missions for a regular (not a zone specific one, like the RWZ contacts) level 45-50 contact you already have, such as Crimson, Harvey Maylor or Unai Kemen. They may introduce you to her.

    QFT

    Especially the last line. Without hardly trying, my characters usually have the equivalent of one more, often 2 more Acc just from set bonuses, not counting Kismet +ToHit IOs. The "Last To Hit" chance on even my Vet and temp powers are usually in the 90%-95% range.

    Make sure you're reading Random Rare Recipe Roll which is the current article and not Taskforce Random Recipe Roll (which is what a search on Pool C will redirect to) which is marked as historical at the top of the article.

    Quoting a previous Catwhoorg post:

    "…Doc Quaterfield, and Faathim with their 4 simultaneous clickies. (And Hess with its 2)."

    Workbench?

    There are also workbenches in the Rikti War Zone.

    They do creep up. See following image. I started playing on May 6 2004, which shows up using the 6th on the first bunch of dates. From there, the date started creeping up, eventually hitting the 25th of the preceding month in some cases. It seems get reset every April to the launch date.

    SG/VG Bin access

    Access to bins is now on a per bin basis. Log onto the leader character, go to each bin, open it, and click on the Show Permissions button. Change the settings so that all your characters have access.

  9. I'm guessing it may just be a problem on some servers. I just checked my logs, and on Protector, there hasn't been a fire or Superadine raid reported on the hero alert channel since December 14th.

    Drop Rate

    Check this thread for Archie Gremlin's DropStat program (needs perl installed to use). Run that over your log files to find out all you need to know about whether your drops are in the proper range or not.

    Here's another thread where Archie is asking for you to send him log files so he can compile more data.
  12. It's an old thread, and some of it is outdated, but it's still a decent place to start:

    Little things I wish I'd known

    Council/5th Column downgraded bosses, if they transform into WarWolves will become full bosses.
  14. If I understand you correctly, then yes, I think you're doing it right.

    For a full, complex read (lots of math), see iakona's Power Data Standardization v2.0 (Issue 7) thread. Though there is a problem with the formatting there due to forum change

    Settings

    There's also buttons for saving/loading most, if not all, your settings on the options window.
  16. Nothing to see here anymore. I just checked and the name has been well and truly smacked down. It can't be found any longer through various slash commands.

    Thanks for info btw... Sometimes even 20 seconds is too long.
    Holy Necro Post Batman!!

    Seriously, why resurrect a 6 month old dead thread?

    At this time, you have to click on the scale on each and every one of your posts. If there was rep given/taken on that post, it will show up there. You can check on your post here to see what it looks like, as I just gave you rep.

    Log off your Villain.

    Log on your Hero (ideally you've pre-positioned them in the Shared zone to avoid long waits for the person helping you).

    Find the person you gave the Inf to, Invite them to Trade.

    They give you back your sum of Inf. Ideally you allow them to keep a specified amount in return for helping you.

    You can do this with a complete stranger, if they're willing, or set something up ahead of time on your Server Forum here on the Boards.
    Uh… that doesn't work. There is no way to give anything cross faction, Infl, Enhancements, Salvage, Inspirations, etc.

    The way it's usually done is that you find a person with enough influence and infamy on each side. They'll take your money on one side, log into their character on the other side and give you the amount agreed upon. Usually, they charge a fee for the transfer.

    A good place to ask is in the Market forum. Here's a recent thread as an example.
