I'm only curious here but if the server list has been merged that must mean the database now recognises all CoH players, NA & EU, so surely EU players can log into NA test or am I mistaken.

Whilst I agree it seems like a massive "gimp" to the original status, I somewhat disbelieve Interface was truly WAI. In operation it may be, but in the less subtle mechanics such as the limit/caps it may not have.

Of course Incarnates are meant to provide you with more power, if we compare Interface: Reactive to any other Interface Incarnate slot there is no argument that Reactive is, relatively speaking, incredibly "OP".

EDIT: It could only be limited to one target as well as the 10s, see below.

There appears to be a change to rain powers on the test server, check out the test server discussion here. There are no specifically released notes but it seems Reactive will be drastically changed, not finalised as of yet, but its effect changed.

A heads up for those curious as to the current, live, operation of Interface.

I take your double and raise you a triple:

I concur with Silas, lately the Incarnate-Trials have delivered a more noticeable effect of "greyed-out" temporary powers, although this does not explain the effect affecting Incarnate powers it may be linked. The bug is a little arbitrary in nature at times.

If you are referring to "crafting" a recipe: recipe + salvage = enhancement. Go to the 'University' in Cap Au Diable (via ferry) and head inside via the main doors, there are clickable tables that pop-up giving you a list of crafting choices. For non-standard Inventions (Those with peculiar names) look for 'Inventions' under this menu.

You will require the recipe + salvage + crafting cost.

I understand the frustration of the EU-side here, I honestly do, but I can't see them making any changes. The way the system is and has been has led to the long-term effects whereby @Global is taken, and now it may clash with EU merge @Globals. I do not foresee them deleting or changing accounts that are "inactive" or even "banned". I have one account that is "banned" (because I meant to add CoH to CoV Account rather than a new account) and it has sat there all along.

I didn't log into the game luckily enough to create a @Global that some poor person would have rather enjoyed - I understand this. I advocate they cleanse @Globals for permanent banned accounts (very few I surmise) which in all honesty won't have an effect on the grander scale.

Trial accounts, perhaps they could cleanse @Globals for them and begin a system of @TA_<globalname> to fix that (after all TAs are not going to appreciate the bigger picture in the TA timeslot) but I can't see them deleting their accounts. Namely because the likelihood of a new, or original player, choosing the same Global may create confusion or clashes or may technically be impossible. I'm not an expert in this system but there must be a reason banned accounts are not even deleted.

Purging inactive accounts is as creating a black hole in a very gradual MMPORG social system, even two players that changed their name completely I still take time to register. Doing the above would be kicking the hornets nest because, again it is down to damage mitigation, would they rather have a collision on the cost of the least percentile or would they rather have a monstrous task of the larger percentile complaining. I fore-see that those seeking the opportunity would change their global (I am already seeing drastically flippant global name changes) and create a bigger hole whereby everyone wants to log-on and get that @global but again I reiterate: too late; they weren't available; beat to the chance, etc.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that whilst purging inactive/banned/etc accounts is a good idea, I somewhat disbelieve it will have the effect we all hope for.

The final conclusion is that rather the smaller percentile of EU being "shafted" so to speak; you have basically everyone going nuts.

I am not against you nor any EU players in this predicament, but I just can't see it happening - sorry.

Fury

No no that was CoH 2, CoH 3 was 4D and CoH 4 was Virtual Reality - I see how you got confused though.

Fury

I may have misread this elsewhere but did the Trials not get sub-globalised under some form of "XX_Trial" or was that not in regards to @Globals?

Fury

Unfortunately, I hate to say this, they had to perform some form of damage mitigation and that meant us. In the bigger picture (I have no numbers) but NA must outpopulise us by a lot. I appreciate, this is not meant distasteful, that doesn't justify the actions but I can imagine these forums lighting up like christmas if NA got the blow.

I think a global purge will aggravate a lot of people and it'll start a whole new argument:

• "The purge was on at midnight, I didn't get a chance to try my @Global, now I lost it"
• "I was here first."
• "I have more veteran status."
• "<insertglobal> is a $$$$"

EDIT: I wished to add a more constructive direction, since everyone has a particular Master Account i.e Log-In that does not clash - is there no technical way to attach this somehow. Even add some sort of secondary identity - it doesn't have to be visual, it seems it is the technicality that is the problem.

Fury

You haven't met some of the people in Union, we don't do days.
