So no worries there.

There's other entries. I didn't vote for most of them, honestly, as I had no opinion. I did vote for Yahtzee though. If you don't visit the Zero Punctuation site, search it, find it, and go there. Funny stuff.

I've been subscribed continuously for a long time and always got my points and reward token at the end of the month, instead of the beginning when my billing cycle began.

I think support can change that, but by default I'd expect them to get you on the 28th or so when then get around to it. I'm not super happy with being a customer of NC Soft, but I think we have to recognize too that CoH doesn't bring in anywhere near the revenue that Lineage or Aion do. And yet NC Soft has been investing pretty heavily in Paragon Studios. So I think it kinda balances out in the long run.

Car wash denied, eh? So it goes, I guess....

Speaking of resources: would it be possible to publish a code that works for any number of people and then say manually enable it and disable it?

Then you could say "Everyone who grabs a code in the next hour gets a goodie." And your whole staff isn't monopolized, just one person twice in a one hour period. Add on whatever preconditions you can reasonably service. Retweet us, fill out a questionnaire, link us, like us, wash Zwill's car, etc.

Just kinda guessing here but that sounds like something that might be available without having to ask engineering (or a third party).

Yup, you got it.

Right, we already had this out about a month ago. It *is* confusing but pretty comprehensible once you figure it out. The 400% that turns blue in Combat Attributes is your cap, but the number it displays is global bonuses only. It doesn't show the enhancements for each power, because each power is slotted differently.

So, your "damage soft-cap" is typically about 95% less that the number shown, because you also have to figure in the approximately 95% bonus that a fully slotted and enhanced power has. If you are using Musculature Alpha, then you have around 125% in each power, so your "damage soft-cap" is about 125% less instead of 95% less.

Put another way, good damage slotting makes it easier to reach the cap.


TL,DR: your damage soft-cap is about 95% less than the number you see in Combat Attributes. If you actually hit the cap shown, you are wasting bonuses; aim for about 95% less than that number.

This. Save your points until you can get something you really want. I think the flight powers (Rocket Board, Flying Carpet) are really useful, but you may have other ideas. New power sets and costumes tend to be the most fun.

You could save your points too for when you go back to Premium. You don't loose them.

For masterminds, I slot them like attack powers: accuracy and damage.

Any more than that, and you'd have to look at the individual powers of the pet. Specificly look at them in game and note their values. Are they worth enhancing? Balance any IO with the loss of an accuracy or damage one.

Protector Bots - Add one or two Def
Litch - Should be slotted for holds/debuf I believe.

etc.

Your specific list, I'm not sure. Crab spiders generally go for recharge to have pets up all the time. Carrion Creepers I think are basically damage. Photon Seekers, what do they do? Debuff and damage? Sounds like an attack power. Maybe recharge to have them up more often. etc.

I don't use specific IO sets myself, just the occasional pet aura (+Res). Just use whatever helps your build in general (recharge, etc.)

I'll double check, but I'm sure I need about 5 arson side missions on my badger. I will check and look for other stuff I might need, but I think I have all of the exploration badges.

Ditto on "Thanks very very much for doing this." Big help for lots of folks.

Doesn't Mids have a web version you could use? I'm honestly not sure, but I thought they had added something for Mac users.

Or Jim Butcher.

And they do have sales. Usually around Christmas time, the starter kit will be on sale for 99 cents. So if you are thinking of trying VIP and want to save money, there's a cheap way to join as VIP and see what it does for you.

I have a Fortunata with near perma-hasten, with about 3-5 seconds when Hasten isn't up, but still it's effectively perma. I have less than 110% global recharge though, about 98% iirc, so the OP may not be wrong in that 90% is "perma enough" for what he's looking at.

Just trying to make sense of all the numbers being tossed about here, I think it's the 110% vs 90% one the OP is interested in, and 90% looks like it's going to be very close and probably good enough.
