OK I was thinking the problem may have been "unique" to me but I see it's rather common (though surprisingly little discussed).
Note to self: don't use email for storage. Send and immediately retrieve. Never send anything you're not willing to lose. -
Quote:If they have fewer GMs working on weekends then that is gross mismanagement. The in game population of players on weekends has to be higher than weekdays.First off, it wouldn't be the devs getting back to you, it'd be the GMs. And when did it go? I don't think they're particularly well staffed on the weekends. You might have to wait until at least Monday to hear anything back.
As to the bug, yeah, I've encountered it too. I only lost about 50 million to it, though. To me, that's not much. I consider it a lesson in not using email for storage. The system is just way too unreliable for that.
Send something, then immediately retrieve it. -
So no one knows when Freedom's hardware was most recently upgraded?
Um, people need to stop talking about hardware upgrades then if no one can say when it happened. -
I'll take door number 3: missions that have a good story and give good but not exploitive rewards.

I see people referring to Freedom's hardware upgrade from time to time. When was Freedom's hardware most recently upgraded?

Quote:My experience with them is on Stalkers, so I find it strange SoA get a "nerfed" version. I wonder if that's a bug?Crab Spider's Spiderlings don't take the Achilles Heel proc - the only set types they can take are Pet Damage and Recharge Intensive Pets.
They're still great even without the proc, though. -
I had some stuff stored in my email, and now all emails but one is gone. Anyone else get this problem?
P.S. In jogging my memory of when the last time I saw the emails in question, I believe it was before the recent resolution and window scaling change I made. Possibly related (if this is an unknown issue)? -
When people start calling you by the name of a TMed character they think you resemble, it's time get to the tailor and change things up before the genericing (especially with the GMs' "shoot first and ask questions later" philosophy).

Spiderlings are some of the best pets around. Survivable, damaging, and look really cool. Make sure to slot Achilles Heel proc into them!

Quote:Very true! These devs are some of the most accessible in the industry. This MMO is unique in that way.Both of these are true in terms of differentiating CoH from the average MMO. CoH has more comic book in it than most MMOs, and the developers of CoH listen to and communicate with the players more than those of most MMOs. (And as a result, I'm pretty sure they have more desk-induced forehead bruises than the developers of most MMOs.)
And while there's more MMO than comic book in the game (one of its few real weaknesses), there is enough comic book to satisfy most comics fans.
Quote:Hey - here's a little extra information from Matt "Positron" Miller: The Incarnate system will add layers of complexity and power that fits in with what players are familiar with in comic books. You will have to earn these abilities, and it may be some of the most challenging content you’ve ever experienced. -
I agree with Ultimo_ that Endurance is a very poorly designed mechanic. Yes, there are ways around Endurance problems, but if you look at the lengths people go to just to be able to fight and not rest, it highlights how broken it really is (notice how most people with access to Quick Recovery still take Stamina! It's just that badly designed).
Unfortunately, I think the ship has sailed on this. At this point in the game's life it'd be kind of a waste to try to revamp the whole Endurance system.
What might help though is putting Endurance Reduction enhancements on a different, more forgiving schedule. I'd love to see Endurance Reduction Enhancements put on Schedule D (a power costing 10 Endurance would cost 6.5 with a single level 50 +3 SO if this were done; personally, I don't think that's unbalanced, and it would make the game much more playable). -
Good video. The only thing it needs is more Lani Blazier.
Everything needs more Lani Blazier. -

That says 18,067,929.45/hr. That's eighteen MILLION an hour. A bit over 300k a minute. -
I paid about 980 mil for mine blue side. What can I say? I was ebil and patience (for once).

There are only two Bane ranged attacks worth taking in PvE: Mace Beam and Poisonous Ray. The other choices have spectacularly lousy damage, don't crit, and are just generally a waste of power-picks and slots. Play to your strengths.
All range all the time = go Crab. -
The more you tighten your grip on XP exploits, the more of them will slip through your fingers.

The answer to the game's financial woes is obvious: Celestial Steed.

I see what you mean. All I can say is, make lots of bids over several levels to try to catch an IO fish in your net. Bid on both Recipes and crafted IOs. Make sure your bids are higher than the highest of the last 5. Save Merits for direct-purchases of the items that cannot be had at any price on the market. Most of all, look forward to Going Rogue's market fix.
It really isn't any fun when you have the money, but there's just no supply to be had.
A "trading card" approach to getting IOs would have been better than a market. A market is doomed to mudflation and supply shortages. A "trading card" system would've had none of those difficulties. But the market's here, it isn't going anywhere, so what can you do but make the best of it? -
I'm going to assume the Shield Wall 20% -Teleport/+3% Resist are treated as global bonuses, and therefore can be slotted in something like Elude and still be active in all PvP zones whether or not Elude has been activated. Is this correct?
Or is it more like the ones where you only get the bonus in an active toggle or always-on passive? -
What level are you talking about? I'm assuming 28-33?
Level 50 tends to be much better supplied. A mix of Merits and faster leveling has made midlevel stuff harder to get ahold of, especially on the BM. Redside, I tend to hold on to Mertis to make direct buys of the things the BM just doesn't supply much of. -
Classifying music as music is good.

Paragon Studios, hire the Mids' team. That is all.
