    Sorry. Didn't mean to bring down the thread, or anybody's enthusiasm. Just a button topic for me.
    So, where's the hate for Sesame Street then?

    Apologies for any confusion this may have caused and thanks for the heads up.
    I think the EU character transfers to the One True Test Server is being held up by US customs. Europeans transmit medical conditions like one-payer insurance programs.

    We'll get Hero 1 and his team to work right on that.

    With this bugged bug fix, the power is doing closer to the amount of damage it should be doing than not fixed.

    It was the right call.

    Especially since we know they'd get heat from fixing correctly as well as fixing it not as correctly. Which is important to keep in mind: Will those decrying a buggy fix then applaud the Devs when they get it right? Is that the real issue here? Hmm?

    (Nevermind that in the development cycle it takes weeks to recode and get QA to check on things. It's not like they can flip a switch and take out something in a matter of days. That sort of crazy fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants bonzo coding is reserved for show stopping hot fixes since it can introduce even more bugs.)
  6. Most hopefully: The ability to get *3* Empyrean Merits per day to get to the Tier 4s.
  7. You have *a lot* of stuff running in the background. It would be good to know what you're computer is capable of with all of them shut down.

    Why the heck would they want to make it hard for you to buy something?
    you should only need minimal security to SELL STUFF!
    Because as angry as you are over this; and as many accounts they might lose over this; you would be worlds more angry if your account was hacked and people would be definitely more likely to cancel accounts if hacking was regarded as a general problem.

    So, they either chose to lose some good will and accounts now, or, lose *a lot* of good will and accounts later.

    I just wasn't sure. I was mainly concerned if people were planning to needlessly put a lot of work in to identify a problem when a fix is on the way... soon... -ish.


    Maybe the authors can put in the description that their arc is currently unplayable?

    Yeah, get a team of 6 level 20s with only DOs and tell me how easy Lusca is.

    Albert Maurer?

    Ask to see the developer, Andy Maurer, on the Powers team.
  14. Do you advertise these things in advance?

    [Dr Gemini]: Forming a +4 level kill-all ITF. Expected time: 1 hr 3 min. Support must keep up their (de)buffs and DPS toon must kill em all and all follow my directions or I'll be mean to you. PST.
  15. If this is to let the Devs know it's a problem, they know. At last week's Ustream, Dr. Aeon said they are aware of the problem, have looked into it, found it harder than expected to fix it, and are most definitely still working on it.
  16. Since you've been away, they added a player-exchange system, aka the Market.

    Albert Maurer?

    Many of them share names or have names very similar to the Devs.
  18. I read the title confused as to why someone on the forums was looking for an ice scraper.

    Bring in da noise! Bring in da funk!

And I got only one chance. Then the heavy handed and machine like mechinism comes into play asked for programme codes and 20 digite logins given to me at issue. what the heck? so I answer the beat I could and I got the reaponse. You didnot answer between the lines.. Arrggggg. so question do I have to do this now or can I wait till I at home?
    Many of us went through the same problems when they first instituted the higher security options.

    If you keep responding to the emails, or, if in a hurry, call them up, they will reset your security questions.

    You mean the Doctor that was cavorting around with courtesans instead of being 'in a relationship' with River all that time?
  22. The comparisons to the organic and praetorian robot faces highlights some problems:

    The Steampunk faces smooth out textures like the tiny lip wrinkles lending toward the waxy appearance.

    The Steampunk faces have contrasts that are too high (darks are too dark, lights are too light).

    The Steampunk faces have a heavy shadow on both sides of the nose... which only happens when the face is lit from below, which makes the face look unnatural (and especially because the other features are clearly lit from above).

    I mentioned above how the male brows become too narrow at the ends... a modern affectation. The same goes for the female brows: They look overplucked and drawn on... which is fine for a modern face, or a 60s face, but not a Victorian one.
