  1. Decided I liked blue and gold for a color combo so here's a second set..

  2. Guess I will follow suit and stick to one entry set with global access pieces. Tried to stay in the "modern Tech-Knight" theme. Also tried to retain individualization opportunities with the Head options.




    Great idea Big_Soto, C.A.S.T.L.E. looks to have a glorious future ahead.
    Good luck to everyone.
  3. Should be more to the series on the way, but you found the second one there, and there was also the first one..

    Rent Free Base?

    For quite awhile now, Base Rent has been calculated on Total Storage Capacity, whereas prior to this change it was calculated on plot size.

    To have a Rent Free Base, all you would need to do to accomplish this would be to NOT include ANY storage bins ( Enhancement / Salvage / Inspiration ).

    Thus, you would end up with either just a very decorative base or a Teleportation Hub.. or a decorative teleport hub..
  5. Had a very similar idea back in 2010..

    Issue xx : The Little Things

    Didn't seem too popular back then..

    Nevertheless, I'd still be on board because it's all the little things that need tweaking that drive the OCD in me totally bonkers..

    Agreed.

    I believe actually up to (3) Master Accounts can be linked to the same card.

    I pay for step-sons account which is a complete and separate Master Account from my own with my credit/debit card.

    There is an option under Billing Sumary where you can change credit card data at any time.

    I do not believe you should encounter any difficulty in what you had originally wished to do, so good luck and see you both in-game !
  7. Would you spend cash or paragon points on a leash license ?

    To elaborate, and setting aside "we shouldn't have to", we've heard numerous times on the discouraging and frustrating aspect of the limitation that we can have only one pet ( vanity / vet / buff ) out at a time.

    If the tech were possible, the question at hand is would you PAY to be able to have multiple pets out at a time ? And if so, how much ?

    Would you pay for one more ? Up to a set limit, say 5 ? Maybe one of each type ? Or if you did pay would you expect to have unlimited unleashment of your entire menagerie ?

    • Elemental Order Helmet (under Half Helmets)

    With one minor modification being that the Helmet is under Helmets and not Half Helmets as indicated by the WIKI..

  9. Next question.. well, two halves anyway..

    What is the one thing you would hands-down, no questions, wish was in the market to purchase ?

    And on the flip-side,

    what is the one thing you absolutely do not ever want to see in the market ?
  10. The question I pose to you is this.. well, we'll get to that in a minute..

    No right or wrong answer, just curious.
    Was going to post a specific question in the title of the thread but figured the thread in general could be recycled for multiple and various opinion polls..

    The question / topic in particular I had in mind was in regard to the fact that beast mastery was coming Soon!™ and I have toons that are befitting that AT but are currently utilizing other ATs..

    So, the question I pose to you is this ;
    would you re-roll a toon that you had years of work / badges / accomplishments / etc. put into so that you could better match their name to a new AT ?

    for example ; re-roll Super Beastlord the Tanker with 6 years of accomplishments into brand spanking new Super Beastlord the Beastmaster MM ?


  11. Book Two is finally available in the..

    After an apocalyptic battle, Earth’s meta-humans have turned back a massive invasion of highly advanced Nazi war machines—and at least driven whoever is in control of them to pause and regroup. Now meta-hero organizations Echo and sometime Russian ally CCCP must go on offense and battle back. Their task: to hunt down the Thule Society—the secret puppetmasters behind the robot invasion—and cut off the multi-universe plague they’ve unleashed at its roots. To do so, the heroes of Echo face the guardians of a hidden trove of Nazi armor. Meanwhile, a sadistic super villain arises who is determined to defeat both heroes and Thulians—a villain who just may have the wealth and cunning to pull it off.

    Book One in case you missed it..
  12. For me, after the Fog of War bug was fixed I have to open and adjust a map for every toon and reset all my map markers again. What you are experiencing may be along the same lines. In which case, in the lower right corner of your map is the marker menu. From there select which markers you'd want indicated on your map. The difficulty slider NPC's would be indicated by "Notoriety Contacts".

  13. Same new toon frustration here. My regular routine is to load my keybind file ( copy-paste into chat window ) then with keybinds loaded use them to load an already saved set of window and window/window border colors, chat and option settings. Then all that is usually left to do is some minor positioning of some of the windows that will not save position using the slash command like the vault window and base storage.
  14. There is also a non-petition fix for this issue, it just takes 24 hours or so to implement.. I've run into this issue on numerous occassions as I tend to get fixated on a particular server for awhile so then the others get neglected.. anyway, the 'fix' is to merely generate some level of base activity.

    For example, base goes dark ( free base - no upkeep that is ) on Monday, enter through an entry portal or emergency beam-in or whatever, then by that time on Tuesday base is up and running.

    Have been having to do this for years now so it is a feasible workaround if you can tolerate skipping base use for a day and/or don't want to do a /petition.
  15. Not sure if this is what you are after either but here is a slash command you can utilize, where you would substitute 'x' with the language-location of your preference, just not sure what you would want for 'x'.. 0,1,2,etc.. Zero is for english.

    /playerlocale x


  16. Basically if you take your Tier 3 Ghost Axe-Sands Mu then your Tier 5 NemStaff-Blackwand then go for your third Tier 6 remainder and it isn't there anymore ( the choice option that is )..

    This is a known issue and can be resolved with the following slash command ;

    /accountcertificationclaim alt_ltlbsamu

    Hope that helps if you have encountered the issue.

    Odd black effect

    Sounds similar to things going on over in this thread..

    A googolplex is not even significant enough to measure the absolute and total awesomeness this represents !
    Thanks Avatea !
    Thanks Tech Team !

    While playing without the blinking, click on the super tab, click settings and then enter the SG color selection menu, click accept and the blinking should start almost immediately.

    I've repeated this several times and without fail the blinking comes back regardless of how long or short I am playing without the blinking effect.

    If you are so inclined, you might try this out and see if it has the same effect for you. If it does, bug it and maybe post your results to this forum.

    Hopefully we can isolate this bug and provide enough testing to get it fixed asap.
    Also confirmed here as well, at least as a consistent means of immediate replication. I was able to force the issue when following these parameters, however, my experiences with the flashing/flickering were not limited to this alone.. I have still ended up with the distortion during a session while completely avoiding any SG alterations.. Good call out and catch though ! So far this seems to at least be a commonality amongst peeps.

    Thank you!
    w00t ! Thanks for the heads up Avatea ! It's good to know that this is now an officially recognized issue. I have a ticket in already and will continue to provide updates and I strongly urge anyone who hasn't already done so to do as Avatea mentioned and get a support ticket filed. [ see Avatea's post for links ] If we get them enough data we can hopefully get the issue identified and resolved !

  23. Finally managed to capture a few images of the "occurrence", posted those at the bottom. I've also included a few links and tools I've gotten from support as resolution attempts in case anyone wants to try any of those. Unfortunately, I can not report any complete success. The new Nvidia drivers from the 24th seemed to help considerably but not completely..

    I think I have conclusively eliminated the Bats Aura hypothesis as well ;
    I still had toons in "Outbreak" with no Bats Aura and not a soul in sight who might have had it.. So used those to test with. Still ended up with flashing/flickering..
    It was a good theory though..

    Link and Tools from support ;

    Disabling the Aero feature of Windows Vista/7 has helped with issues similar to what you are experiencing. Please try disabling it by doing the following:

    1. Right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize.

    2. In the Personalize window scroll down and choose one of the "Basic and High Contrast Themes."

    3. Accept the changes and try running the game again.




  24. Has anyone been able to capture a screenshot of the effects ? I've tried to grab one to include in my ongoing support ticket but not a single attempt will yield the effects in the image, each one turns out perfectly fine..

    Also, is there any consistency at all to when anyone else is deteriorating to the 'flashing' ? I can run fine for hours then make a toon and get hit instantly when getting to Atlas. At first I thought it was related to Epics as well because that's when I was noticing it most but I think that was just coincidence..

    We've established it can't be graphics card specific, we've got ATI and Nvidia going on..

    We've established it can't be drivers, we've got people using most recent and ancient ones with both fresh installs and un/re-installs..

    We've established that the Repair function seems to work initially / for a bit but doesn't resolve the issue..


    Some other practices I've seen ( none of which have worked anything but temporarily for me ) ;
    -running a defrag
    -running msconfig and clearing start-up programs and services
    -complete game un/re-install


    Anyone else have anything to add to the compilation ?
