    Then you're a better man than me: also busy as hell prepping for my trip to Gen Con but only logged in a couple of hours on Saturday and again for 4 hours last night (also hurt my back on Thursday, and the basement got partly flash-flooded on Saturday night, which did not help...).

    Got a couple of levels each on 2 characters, that's about it.

    Not a fan of Double XP, since I play not to reach the level cap but to enjoy the ride, but one nice thing about this kind of weekend is that it seems to bring back familiar faces that we haven't seen in a while...

    Corrected the entries on the Calendar for the Weekly Strike Targets, and updated them up until November 5th.

    Sounds fun...

    .. but I'll have to wait until it is released on DVD, so I can watch it with English sub-titles.

    "Holy Sardine !", as Robin would say...

    Hopefully, I should be back home from Gen Con in time to defend Protector against this Chondrichthic Miscreant...

    Hummm... I wonder if I can buy Shark Repellent Bat-Spray at the Con...

    The chapter on creating rotating binds should be what you're looking for.

    As far as I know, you can only change the color of the bubbles, i.e. there is not alternate animations for them.

    I agree with your argument, but... it might not have been the best example to use...

    Checked as well on my Premium account, no clear mention of "You have been unsubscribed for more than 90 days"

    ... but if you check the Microtransactions history, you might be able to see when was the last time you received your Paragon Points, which might give you a clue.

    EDIT: From what I can see in my VIP account, the Microtransactions history is for the last 90 days, so if there is nothing listed, you might be a winner !

    I removed Thursday Night Fights from the calendar.
    If the event still occurs, let me know ASAP so I can put it back.

    Then I'll leave them nice tip.
    The usual routine, then ?

    One "upgrade" I find quite useful is the Team Transport Power

    It is a bit more pricey than the Mission Transporter Power, but it has a shorter recharge time and can be used playing solo or in a team.

    This would help that player to build community with other players possibly causing them to subscribe, or at least buy more points.
    Not sure if it technically feasible with the forum software we are using at the moment, but it's a interesting idea nonetheless.

    Which means that if I really wanted that costume, I would probably have to try them all for nothing, since I don't have a way to get notified in the seconds following those tweets (and from reports on prior contests, seconds is all it takes for those codes to be redeemed). Thanks, but no thanks.

    Also, 24 tweets on the same subject in 12 hours ? In my book, that's called spamming. I'll take Zombie Man's advice:

    I've asked for a Twitter feed that is just announcements, but, that hasn't happened. So, no Twitter-following for me.
    Since following CoH was the only thing I was doing with Twitter, maybe Twitter is not for me after all.

    So in that case, no big loss, eh ?

    Con: From memory, it's not the biggest place in town and (because it's so nicely located) it's HEAVILY frequented by GenCon goers. It might be a tight fit...

    Naaah, I had lunch there last year and it's standard "sports bar cuisine", I've had worse.

    Hyper was able to get us a restaurant the past few years, but I agree with him that it was not the best setting for mingling: you're sitting down at a table and mostly only speak with the people to your left and to your right...

    Shouldn't be a problem, the past 2 years they had to pry us out of the restaurant so they could close. Since this year it's in a bar that generally doesn't close before 12:00 AM, you should be fine.

    (*) Happened to me 3 years ago at the Spaghetti Factory: by the time I got there, the place was closed and boarded up...

    4. Do you have any characters that you, for whatever reason, are not going to make Incarnates?
    Just to put my two cents (CDN) in...

    1. None
    2. All three (3) of my level 50 have their Alpha slotted, only one (1) have Judgement and Destiny unlocked.
    3. None, I don't roll characters with the endgame in mind, I roll characters to have fun with them going to 50.
    4. Out of my thirty-five (35) characters, ten (10) are throw-away characters that I keep in case of special events on servers I do not regular play on, and another twenty-one (21) are below level 40. Since it took me six (6) years to get 3 characters to level 50, I don't think I'll level any of them to 50 in the foreseeable future...

    For me, the point is kinda moot since I plan to go Premium once my year-long sub ends in February.

    Yep. I can play the same contact, TF or Trial once or thrice, but playing it over and over and over again gets old fast.

    What is this "we" you're talking about, Kemo Sabe ? Unless you're a Redname in disguise, "we" don't add any content to this game, the Devs do.

    Simple: just like some content (ex. Grandville, Founders Falls, etc.) cannot be played until you're high enough in levels, the Battalion stuff will be gated behind requirements of "X Level Shifts" - Level Shifting is simply raising the Level Cap without having to raise the Level Cap, ifyaknowwhatImean...

    Here the reason (you get it by clicking on "Technical Details" on that Firefox warning page).

    Code:
    login.ncsoft.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
    Essentially, the Web team messed up their SSL certificate (needed since it's a secure - https - site).

    What are you trying to achieve with this ? Get more people on your Twitter feed ?

    Some of your players already follow you on Twitter - and you're pissing off a good portion of those

    Some of your players may start to follow you on Twitter - they'll try for the codes, and then will probably join the group above.

    Some of your players do not want to use Twitter - and this promotion is hardly any reason for them to change their minds.

    This whole scheme is a bad idea.
