    Two bugs

    2. Did you slot it in a toggle? Did you turn the toggle ON? Did you look under Status Resistance, where it shows up, or did you look under Status Protection, where it does not show up? It is perfectly functional on my 3 characters with this IO.
  2. I pretty much only do contact story arcs. I'll boot up a couple radios/papers if I don't have much time, but otherwise it's contacts all the time. Of course, I pretty much only solo or team with folks from a few global channels, so my presence doesn't mean much except ground clutter between missions.

    So yes, it looks like you'll have a reduction in the number of available character slots.
    Also 2 more slots if the account was subbed during I12. The timeframe is vague enough to not be able to include that automatically, but guessing it SHOULD be. So a total of 10 slots if so, and if GR is purchased before Freedom is live. So only a reduction of 2 slots.

    Uh, *ALL* of the servers were down this morning - they launched Issue 20.5!
  5. You could do a "Guide to All Things Art". Expand on what the different threads are for, maybe point out some pieces/changes from the threads that actually got added (or will be added) to the game. Put it in Player Guides.

    Call support tomorrow instead of emailing. Calling for billing issues clears things up MUCH MUCH faster. Make sure you've got some kind of information to prove that you are you (boxes or emails with serial codes, etc.).

    It is a toll number to Austin, Texas, so be aware of any long distance charges you may incur. This number is available Monday through Friday, 12 PM to 5 PM, Central Time Zone.

    Good lord, seconding. I love adblock. These things are frakken huge! Your (the OP's) posts take up a third of a window, even if you have a one-line post. That's ridiculously excessive.
  8. ...nnnnot exactly. The only expansion that granted slots was Going Rogue.

    [free slots] + [veteran status] + [purchased slots]; there is also 2 for buying GR, and 2 for having an account subscribed during Issue 12.

    Free: 2 free (15 servers, 2 character slots max)
    Premium: 2 free + 1/yr vet + 2 GR + 2 I12 + purchased (15 servers, 540 character slots max)
    VIP: 12x16 (192) free + 1/yr vet + 2 GR + 2 I12 + purchased (16 servers, 576 character slots max)
    **The 2 GR and 2 I12 slots are only applicable if you purchased GR before Freedom goes live, and/or had an active account during I12, respectively. Accounts may get one, both, or none of these slot options. Freeps don't get access to them because it requires a purchase prior to release or subscription prior to release, both of which mean it will be a Premie.

    Additionally, both Preem and VIP are locked to 36 per server max, so your comment under VIP is unintentionally misleading.
  9. I have no concerns of droves of people abandoning the regular servers for the VIP server.

    I would even guess that a VERY large number of people won't even know about F2P until the in-game UI changes with I21. I know several people personally who didn't know anything about it until I mentioned something to them, and these are vets who are actively playing the game. I doubt those people are the type to care enough to move wholesale to a new server.
  10. Once you get your code, OP, you might want to edit your post to take out your email address before the spambots get to it.
  11. I don't want a melee set that is centered around knockback.

    Knock-up, sure. Knockback? No way in hell. I'm not rolling something that I have to continually chase after dudes because *I* am knocking them away.

    Now I get half a dozen copies myself all the time. 1 for each account I made.
    I believe I covered that.

    They totally can sell something that's been opened. What they can't do is sell something that's been opened as if it has not been opened. THAT is against the law, since it is a type of fraud. If they say it's been opened or it's been used, they are 100% legal.
  14. The first one, you can still do. Select their triangle icon on the map.

    The second one, you can still do. Right click on the map to set a thumbtack. (Right click the thumbtack to remove it.)

    All we know is that you have to be a player in good standing. What good standing means they refuse to tell us. We can only speculate.
    Regarding the first part, this is untrue. I was invited to Issue 20 closed beta while unsubbed.

    Regarding the second part, apparently "good standing" doesn't include subscription details.

    Amy_Amp is correct. Frostfire in the Hollows arc does not upgrade to an AV. He's coded straight as an EB.
  18. It's better to post in Tech because that's where players go to get tech related details, even on stuff that they don't want actual immediate help on. After all, the techy people hang out in Tech.

    Thanks for all the info.
    Really? Because your OP has a date of 6/24. Z's and B's posts were made on 6/21. So unless there was some sort of wacky time dilation that no one's aware of, I'm pretty sure you didn't. Ppbbbttthhh.

    I've always heard other people quoting this but I never learned it that way. I learned by counting knuckles.

    Ridges were months with 31 days, valleys between were months with something else. January is your left pinky knuckle, Feburary is the valley between it and the ring finger knuckle, which was March...left pointer is July and (there is no valley between the two) right pointer is August...etc.

    I *still* occasionally have to count it out that way, though typically only on days where I'm low on spoons.
  21. If you buy game time, that is a subscription. It's just a one-month (or however many), non-recurring subscription.

    Statesman's link to the Well (the source of his superpowers) grows weaker as players' links grow stronger?

    Statesman also has "old man face" syndrome in that image. Too many shadows/lines. I know he's like a hundred years old, but he was supposedly age-stopped at the cusp of middle age; all other images of him make him look fairly unlined.

    Holy wow, I totally read that as "veteran slots". Must have slots on the brain.
  24. It doesn't matter where you are located (NA or EU or otherwise) or what kind of sub (NA or EU), you can make characters on all 15 servers. I am in Washington state and have a character on both Zukunft and Union.
  25. You cannot check names until after you have created a character. Continue with your creation process (type random gibberish if necessary, e.g. atslkntalkts). Then the ability to check names will be unlocked.

    No one really knows why this is restricted...the devs have never said.
