  1. Are you actually dismissing them, or are you /releasepets? /releasepets has always forced the "death" animation on them as they despawned. /dismiss (or clicking "dismiss pets" on the pet window or by right-clicking the pet themselves) is supposed to have a special despawn animation for most pets.

    No, you didn't have Amazing Luck until tonight. I have personally commented on, and heard others comment on, the lack of ambushes in radio rescues, and most of the time it's to highlight the difference between radio rescues and paper kidnaps; more to the point, complaining about a lack of ambushes (my group of friends love bashing things' heads; we trigger the LEDS in mayhem missions on purpose).

    And are deleted after 30 days if you don't pick them up. So a full turnaround of 60 days.

    However, all of the details stated by the rednames so far have been either a) emailing yourself stuff, or b) your emails to others getting bounced back (basically the same as emailing yourself). There would be no way to "return to sender": it's already there.

    There has been no word yet on 1) email sent to other players, or 2) emails sent to inactive accounts. I'd like some redname clarification there.

Often I go back to the hostage room and find the ambush waiting for me along the way. It has been that way since issue 5 when I started playing.
    Radio mission rescues have nothing to do with regular content rescues.
  5. Kidnap missions, yes. Ambushes are usually present in Kidnap missions.

    Rescue missions, no. Especially radio rescue missions. I don't think I've ever seen an ambush in a radio mission. (I haven't done a radio rescue mission in many months, so don't have any recent anecdotes to go with this statement.)

    Well, that doesn't sound like WAI.

    I certainly can't run Shader Quality High, but I can turn on most of the UM options on low/medium. So if I want to run ANY UM features, I *have* to run Shader Quality High? Not right. Not right at all.

    Who do I talk to about being reimbursed for the lost recipes?
    /petition

    Other players have reported getting their stuff back. If a GM says no, ask for their supervisor.
  8. I just got a third email on my main account... still none for my boyfriend, nor my inactive account.
  9. Are they both heroes or both villains? Global mail can only go hero->hero and villain->villain, no cross-faction sending.
  10. And in amusing news, I got two emails for the Going Rogue ViDoc newsletter (the video that's been in our announcements forum for several days now), yet only have one account registered to that email. My other account (inactive) is registered to a separate email, and did not get the newsletter. My boyfriend (account active) did not get the newsletter.

    What was Kheldarn saying....?

    ...which, if you remember, we have huge issues with, too.
    Oh yeah.
  11. Also: does either account have 20 mails with attachments? Can't send or receive more mail if so.
  12. Woof, I completely missed the 'mobile' part. Sadly, most laptops are completely incapable of incorporating a video card if they didn't come with one.
  13. Nope.

    What I do when I play more than one account:
    - on one computer: layer the windows so that the chat windows are always visible, no matter what window I'm in. When I had three accounts, I put one window at top/left, and put the chat in bottom/left of the window. One window at top/right and put chat in bottom/right. One window at bottom/center, put chat at the bottom (side doesn't matter). No matter what window has focus, I can always see all three chat windows. (It took a lot of getting used to using the top/right window, which felt "backwards" since chat was on right and powers were on left).
    - on multiple computers: um, well, just keep an eye on all the monitors.
  14. I have to disagree with KayJMM on his "melee/ranged" classifications.

    I play all of my characters in melee, regardless of archetype. And blasters specifically get really hard-hitting *melee* attacks that not taking/using them brings down their damage dealing a *huge* amount.

    Well, for one, you aren't actually using a video card. You're using an integrated graphics chip on your computer's motherboard. This particular chip has had serious problems with the game for a while now.

    I'm not sure how to help. I don't have any suggestions other than 'get a real video card', sadly.

    He doesn't necessarily always spawn at the center of the dish. I've had him spawn all the way out near the edge, or down in the "gully" where the initial fighting usually takes place. However, I've had him spawn in the center of the dish more often than not.
  17. Uh, no, don't click any link and forward that email to support@plaync.com, reporting it for phishing.
  18. According to a post in Player Questions, global emails have a time limit of 30 days.

    Your visible username (Aurell) doesn't matter. The one that you log into the forums with (in the username/password form) is what matters. That one is exactly the same as your game login now.
  20. I would steer away from using names that could get you generic'ed (Johnny Rotten is a real person, subject to generic if you get reported).
  21. I would like more alternate animations available, especially for blast powersets that don't use weapons.
  22. I didn't get my start until CoV, but other than a couple months away (my computer had exploded, so I wasn't going to pay for something I wasn't using - too bad I didn't know they were going to introduce Veteran Rewards later that year!!) I have been here since. I'll be here until the server lights go out.
  23. It'll be a combination of particle quality and particle count. Quality makes it more realistic, particle count allows more physics effects visible at a time on the screen. (when you see shells surrounding you/enemies when shooting guns? particle effect. leaves falling off a tree, rock debris from Stone Melee or Earth Control, etc.)
