An account's name can always be viewed from the owner's PlayNC Master Account, which is where one would go to retrieve a lost password anyway. As well, most sites I've been a member of have systems in place for retrieving forgotten account names, as well.
Inactive Trials do NOT show up on your Master Account. -

Thanks and our apologies for the delay.

Servers will be down for maintenance tomorrow (Avatea should be posting something soon if she hasn't already), but not extended like we had originally planned for the GSA.
For those asking about conflicts with Trial account names: All trials will be renamed to "Trial-[RANDOM STRING] once the global auth merge has completed.
The reactivation week will be postponed (we're working on sending an update out to all players and will be making posts on the main page, forums, Facebook and Twitter) until we're ready to pull the trigger on Global Server Access.
Of course as I'm writing this, Avatea is probably posting everything I just said
.
Thanks all and as we have more updates we'll share them.

According to the Dev USTREAM, I believe the reactivation is on now...
Try logging into your inactive account and see what happens. -
On a dynamic ISP issued IP it is worse, especially if players end up authorizing every one of their IP addresses.
Worse if they are new players authorizing a college or net cafe network IP set, anyone looking over their shoulder who gets allocated their network IP via a dynamic ISP DHCP will only need to login as now.
This security change only makes it harder for 'Genuine' customers.
I have suggested a solution to tech support but they went and merged it with an unrelated issue...

Quote:Menu - OptionsOriginally Posted by Alien51
If your power tray is vertical flat on the middle right side of the screen there is a hidden pane there that is used for help popups. It is always there even when help popups are disabled. When you start the game the hidden pane starts on top of your power tray so you can't click on powers because it clicks on the hidden pane instead. You need to click on the powers tray to bring it to the front first. This is very annoying for me especially when I want to use a power in that tray quickly and discover I can't do it right away because I forgot to move the power tray to the front. I submitted a bug report a while back but it appears nothing has been done about it yet.
Disabling the PopHelp (!) notifications removes this hidden pane. -

I'm a (returning) Veteran but my account was only reactivated last week. Am I still eligible for the 7th Year Rewards?
Quote:Originally Posted by Beastyle
We announced last week that the Seven Years of Super Rewards loyalty program would begin on February 1, and end on April 18. But then we thought, "Hey, what good are rewards if everyone can't get a shot at them?" So because some of you might not have seen Tuesday's announcement or received our City of Heroes newsletter, we've set up a grace period of two weeks--which means the loyalty program will officially start on FEBRUARY 14, 2011. Players who keep an unbroken subscription from February 14 (12:01 a.m. EST / 5:01 a.m. GMT) to April 18 (11:59 p.m. EST / 4:59 a.m. GMT) will now earn the Seven Years of Super Rewards...rewards!
So be sure to have an active subscription from February 14th, and enjoy the rewards come April 28th! -
Quote:If I understand what Zombie Man was getting at, it was refering to his idea for a booster pack which made all earned aniversary badges global, and added some Veteran time to your account. (Probably 3 or 6 months worth.)Originally Posted by Zombie Man
In addition to having these badges account wide, I was also just posting my suggestion for a Booster that would enable anyone to 'catch up' with the haves.
This booster could be limited to 1 per account...
Or have an increasing cost for each additional purchase (3 month boost option.)
As for the Prestige Slide that is still available ingame if you can get hold of an unused City of Heroes Collectors/Deluxe edition.

Personally I already suggested making the Aniversary Badges Global and several minipacks based on event costume pieces, NOT the event badges just the costumes.
But I could get behind a 1 time (3 month) veteran reward bump.
Anyway back to your regular test patch notes feedback... -
IIRC there was a CoH minipatch you could install if you already had the launcher for another NC game to make the existing CoH compatible.
This may be the cause of some of the issues...
I think it patched the launcher executables to actually support the NC launcher.
Hmm, ah here we go: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/news_archive/upgrade_to_the_ncsoft_launcher.html
Quote:Please note it says: This will modify your game client so that it will be fully supported by the NCsoft Launcher.Question 4: I already use the NCsoft launcher. What do I need to do to prepare?
Answer 4: If you have already installed the NCsoft launcher and are using it, you will still need to download the new City of Heroes game installer from http://www.cityofheroes.com/account/download_game_client/new_installer_en.html. This will modify your game client so that it will be fully supported by the NCsoft Launcher. You will not need to re-download or re-install your game client.
Hope this helps...
EU @Coolio
Edit: For Alexander_Drako
After installing the basic launcher "NCSoftLauncherSetup.exe" try running the "COH_Installer.exe" to patch your game to work with the launcher.
It patches the CoX executables to work with the NClauncher rather than loop into the older launcher, this is where you are having the problem IIRC.
Note: "COH_Installer.exe"
Will try to patch the game (City of) if it finds it or will install the NClauncher to install the game if it doesn't.
The patch to the game (City of) will only happen if it (COH_Installer.exe) can find the NCLauncher executable if it can find it, if it can't then it won't patch anything, hence causing this issue for players with "City of" already installed but not the NClauncher.
If you know you have the game installed but not the NClauncher, get the "NCSoftLauncherSetup.exe" and run it before the "COH_Installer.exe"
Hope this helps solve this additional issue. -

In other words, treat them as non-combat hostages while they are hostages, and then change them to combat pets after rescued?
That sounds like a good solution to me. -
I'd suggest the Devs add 100% immunity to an NPC and block any of said NPC's PBAoE Damage auras with 100% Damage suppression whilst they are in the captured state.
(Maybe use 1000% or 5000% instead of the 100% to guarantee this would work.)
So a captured NPC will do no damage and recieve no damage until rescued.
Fellow forumites and Devs, do you think this would this fix these issues?
EU @Coolio -
What the hell go ahead and add my arc to the pot...
As they say you never know. -
Remember you can also look at a double cost dual build, 1 with team bubbles (and maybe recall/medicine pool/leadership pool), other with a solo build.
This way you get the best of both options, at least once you have both.
Switching builds is then just a matter of visiting a trainer... -
CoX gets better and better...

If we have multiple game accounts (or trials) on the same nc master account
can't they give us the option for a combined (master) global for these accounts?
Quote:Originally Posted by Coolio
Thanks, but...
I recall having an issue with the forum merge, my old NA trial account using the same global as my EU active one.
One option if players have had both a trial and active account across NA/EU, would be that as long as they share the same NCSoft master account information, then merge any trial account characters onto the Live account, and then purge the trial, this should fix the dual @Global and Login info clash on those trial accounts.
For the players with dual side accounts, if both are on the same master account offer to merge the @Globals into 1 @Global.
In other words merging them should remove the NA/EU @Global clash in this case and would have the added benefit of removing a load of mixed @global names '@EU xuy' and '@xyz' owned by a single player.
Players would need the option to change the master or account global during a global rename.
This would potentially also help players with multiple same side EU/EU or NA/NA game accounts on the same master account too, letting them also use one @Global identity for both accounts, if they wish to.
Would this mean that when accounts go Login ID specific the forums will drop the EU/NA login toggle option? -

Edited that for ya Tyger.

Questions...
What if a player has accounts on both systems with the same account name/global?
Do they get a combined account name/global or are they stuck with two separate account/globals?
(This to some extent should be avoidable by checking clashes with the master account.)
Will out of subscription NA accounts that have been inactive for over 30 days count against the EU players making them name change? -
Had this bug in a Rogue tip mission on my stalker,
Target was Wyvern and a Glowie in a sewer,
On getting the Glowie, it triggered a Longbow and PPD ambush.
Was fun staying hidden watching Wyvern, Longbow and the PPD slugging it out.
Especially when they completed the mission for me.
IIRC the bug is something to do with the NPC faction info.

I suspect that it is a variation of the bug that causes patrols to attack regular spawns that hits almost all missions from time to time.
That was a co-op zone alignment glitchQuote:Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
I've seen this happen a couple of times on that mission, though the last time he only went hostile to the Brute on the team and the rest of us just had to stand around and watch the fight.
