I realize that this does not always work...but have you tried asking ingame on various badge channels? As soon as I logged into the game and started wondering about where the contact was, I saw no fewer than 5 people ask and get a response within 10 minutes time.
Why doesn't the new contact show up in your active contact list? Say, right below the radio/newspaper? Would make it *much* easier. -

Quote:This is the problem for me. I want to try out these IO enhancers on my level 50 characters to see if they give any real benefit. I have a few free ones, but don't want to waste them. But I cannot copy my characters to a test server to try them out and see where they should go.Originally Posted by WanderingAries
Either way the Beta server(s) should be accessible too. Unfortunately the copy tool's been down forEVER so you'll be starting from scratch.
I'm sure as heck not buying any of them without trying them out. And I'm not trying them out on live to run the risk of wasting them.
And I'm seeing little to no discussion about them on the boards. I tried starting one but there wasn't much that came from it.
For years and years the devs encouraged us to copy our characters over to test to try out respecs before using them up on live. It was good advice. But now with these new things that we pay real money for, and their use cannot be un-done with a respec, access to test is unavailable. -
Grats all. Sorry I couldn't make it. Next time tho!
-
I want to test out the new stuff that the devs want me to buy on the market. See if the IO enhancers are worth while, and under what circumstances. See if I really want to take afterburner, things like that.
Without the test server, I cannot actually test these things. I need to copy over my main toon, but this is not possible at the moment. And the test server is gone. It's just the "beta" server.
I have like 31 IO enhancers on my global account. But I'm not gonna test this expensive stuff on live. With no ability to test them, I'm not using any. If I'm not using any, I'm not buying any. -

with a Tier 4 Alpha there might be a fair bit of value in enhancing the specific areas the Alpha reduces the ED in.
What do you mean by "Tier 4 Alpha"? I assume ED means Enhancement Diversification, but I am not aware of anything in the game that "reduces" this "feature." -
I also have Reveal. But I've used it 4 times now on First Ward. Fog of War keeps resetting over and over on my main, Zube.
-
I'm hearing mixed messages on these. What good are they? I'd probly only use them on Zube, my purpled-out main character. Are they of any real value to me?
Where, if anywhere, are people finding good use for these? -
Quote:Oh yeah, I know that well indeed. The community here is awesome.Originally Posted by Eric Nelson
Well, if you either do a search here for them, or at least list them, we can try to answer them...
I just didn't want to ask a bunch of stuff if the answers are already in a guide somewhere. Typically such a guide is up on the forums well before a new issue is launched. So I'd assumed this one would have a guide also.
So while I'm here...
Is there a way to transfer (copy) a current character from a live server over to the beta server? I've tried using the Test Server copy tool, but it's unavailable. I assume that "test" and "beta" are distinct from one another, of course. -
That's just one of many questions I have...
-
I just got onto beta just today. I'm unable to do the simpliest things like get the First Ward. Just looking for SOMEthing to help me out...
-
Subject line says it all. My search-fu is pathetic.

I will be hosting another badge run this Saturday August 27th at 3pm Eastern in Pocket D. I won't post a sign up for this run. Just come at the regular time if you're interested in the badges.
I will also try to put together a standard Keyes run at 2pm Eastern (1 hour before). This will be for any people new to the trial who would like to gain some experience with it before attempting the badges.
See you then! -
Quote:Good suggestion.Originally Posted by Wrong_Number
Go into the "Custom Critters" folder and delete the file with the same name as that character.
WN
Ah... THAT seems to have done it. It didn't look like it worked at first, but I quit out of CoX entirely, came back in, and now the critter is gone.
Thanks a bunch. -

FYI, Apocalypse Cow was a villain from The Tick's live action show. The DC planet is actually spelled "Apokolips."
There IS an X-Men villain simply named "Apocalypse," though, and that's likely why it's being blocked... similarly to why people have been unable to use the word "gambit" in descriptions since the launch of the AE system.
NO NAME AT ALL is acceptable to the AE editor now. And I cannot even delete the critter. -
So I run a toon through my AE arc so I can get a few badges for her (29973 The Running of the Bulls thankyouforasking).
I discover a "corrupted critter" in one of the missions (looks like a hydra-man). I go into the AE mission editor to see the trouble. It has tagged one of the custom critters in my mission with ProfanityCopyrightDetected. The critter name is Apocalypse Cow.
Of course, there has been much Thunder and Fury expended here on the boards about the overzealous filters. Yes, Apocalypse is a planet in DC Comics, but it's stupid to filter such a common English word, bla bla bla.
I thought I could get around it by making the lower-case L into an upper-case I, or spelling it with an I rather than a Y, or something. Nothing I tried worked. I thought, wow they thought of everything, but then I tried Coppola Cow (as in Francis Ford Coppola, director of the film Apocalypse Now).
Nope.
Humm. What about just Cow?
Nope.
Hummm... something in the character description...? I deleted the entire description and named the character fred.
Nope.
How about the name hhhhh?
Nope.
NOTHING will get the AE editor to accept ANY name for this custom critter. AND I cannot see how to just delete it.
I have already filed a petition about the word Apocalypse being filtered. But NOW the game won't even allow me to file a different petition about this undeleteable, nothing-is-acceptable bug.
Any ideas? -

Great runs today folks. We did 3 trials total with about 18 people in the league and managed to get Bunker Buster, Anti-Anti-Matter and Loves a Challenge. Came very close to Green Stuff but had a few unlucky moments.
Thanks everyone who came out to help today and great work! Congrats on the badges!

Quote:Both stories are intimately tied to the invasion story line. The only thing incarnate involved in these two TF's is that the guy who ordered the invasion (who we don't ever see) is an incarnate.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
Both stories are intimately tied to the Incarnate storyline, and the Strike Force even returns Incarnate rewards.
And ALL TF's in the game give incarnate rewards now, don't they? Are you saying that Positron's TF is "incarnate content" now because of this? -
I'm sorry, but what is the difference between Premium and VIP?
It's all still a bit muddled in my mind... -
Quote:Really? You're saying level 20-40 characters are doing incarnate content? That's.... an interesting take on it.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
I still don't consider the i20 TFs to be non-Incarnate, but I'm eating my crow here, so have your yucks. It's my last day anyway.
