Electric-Knight

That's a brutal blow to your gaming experience, so I know it is rather difficult, nigh impossible, to keep it cool and have a solid amount of patience.
From what I understand, they should be able to fix this (I could be wrong about that, but I hope not).
The costumer service is the venue that'll get things done. I'm sure the community reps around here will do whatever they can when they see this.
Jumping to negativity towards them and the developers doesn't do anyone any good and they're not some heartless maniacal villains who wouldn't care about someone losing their SG base and all.

As I said, I know this is a pain, but it may take a bit of time and then things will be better.

You filed a ticket with Customer Service? Have you sent any PMs to Avatea, Zwill and/or Frietag?

Best of luck! It should be fine!

I don't think it is too much to give it an honest try and avoid assuming that there are poor intentions behind it.
It could work out better! Give the idea a chance!

While I was indeed surprised, I just recently saw people talking (in game and on the forums) about where they should be posting about and looking for specific builds.
Now, I don't know why there'd be confusion, but I can't dismiss the fact that I witnessed some of it.
I'm not even saying that this is enough to warrant such a forum... But, hey, the head of community relations thinks it is a good idea and it is zero sweat off of my back (nor anyone's), so, let's see!

I could see some benefit of having a focused area for it. Especially just simply giving a focus to Mids' and its existence for new players (those who don't always ask and get our numerous responses saying "paragonwiki and Mids... use them... love them!").

I'd love to see these options put into the game.
Also see the same conversation going on in the staff/rods ranged attack suggestion thread.

I'd say this is another one of those long desired options they've yet to turn into reality.
One day... I hope!

Do very much want!
And I agree with the penguin.

One thought...
Now, I doubt this is an easier/better workaround, but...
What if it was the Staff/Rod (whatever name) powerset and then the particular branch was chosen: Fire Blast, Electric Blast... so on.
It seems like the more ridiculous, convoluted, resource-intensive way to go about it... But maybe it is not (if the redraw balance is deemed a great enough issue).

Obviously, they'd have to be full powerset choices if they'd be the same exact powers as the already-existing ones (No choosing Fire for one power, Electric for another, Rad for yet another, etc.). Anyway... I do think this is the wrong way to go, but I just figured I'd mention it...
Soldiers and Fortunatas have their branches come later on, but I'm not sure there's any reason why a branch choice couldn't be at level one, hehe (besides the coding to make it happen, of course).

Anyway... I'd much rather see it be a customization option for existing powersets, but hey... whatever they think works best.

You guys just reminded me that (In Beta) I loved the elbow/forearm smash variant of that animation, because I was using a character that had the Finned Gloves!
I like the alternating animations, but sometimes I'd love to be able to lock them to one as well, hehe.
Still, I enjoyed every other time I hit that power a little more.

I understand the new direction for the tutorial and somewhat enjoyed it the first time I ran it, but I'd say I like it less than the original as far as repeat runs are concerned.
I especially enjoyed the Villain tutorial for flavor (I'm not complaining, but I will say that starting a character inside of jail and breaking out has got to be a unique scenario in mmorpgs! And it was one I thought was great!).

While I'm not a fan of how little the new tutorial covers important things that they could have handled quickly enough (enhancements and enhancement combining, just like the first tutorial... it did not take long!!)... I do think that some of the negatives against it are sometimes a bit overstated.
I mean, I do dislike the narrow corridor of the destroyed Galaxy City (and feel like such a typical, limited, zone path too greatly misrepresents this game... which I think makes a poor introduction).
I also feel like the fights carry too little significance and/or danger.
However, I don't think the first time fighting the GM is likely to invoke those feelings. And I am okay with the jets doing their thing.
Obviously they wanted something epic feeling, but without the real risk of new players getting defeated left and right and/or over and over. That's a difficult thing to pull off. And remember... these new players haven't been taught how to play the game yet...

Anyway...
I just wanted to comment about one more thing that I see mentioned now and then...

I think the main reason they decided to give the free transfer may have been in order to provide subscribers with a free way to move to the VIP only server.
When the new business model was initially announced, there was concern bout how the servers may be flooded with spammers, jerks and other such unsavory riffraff.
Whether or not any of this was considered a legitimate concern, an offering to allow subscribers to jump into VIP seclusion seemed almost a necessity.

Now, that may not be the real or the sole reason behind it... but if there weren't free transfers, I am quite sure there would have been people asking for them.

And, as others have mentioned... giving free transfers does not equal giving 800 points for their value.

Beastyle... I would stay away from Posi while he has that flowbee... This just sounds all kinds of dangerous!

Good grief, haha... I think the pertinent info could have, at least, been paraphrased... if they really felt it necessary to edit the quote out.

Actually, in the Ustream, (I believe) he mentioned it may be in two days increments, which would be even quicker.
I'm not sure how it will exactly go down but we're talking a couple of days.

The last thing I'd want to "win" is a haircut with a flowbie...

I do currently have a beard that could use a trim... would that be acceptable?
(As if I would trust Posi with a flowbie anywhere near my head...)

That's it!! City Hall has gone to the Hellions!!!

Yeah, at the time I joined this game (forum reg date), Short Circuit has never returned endurance. I would imagine that the proc from your IO may have caused you some confusion about that.
I haven't noticed Power Sink behaving any differently than it always has.

While I've been playing a couple of new alts the past few weeks, up until then I was playing almost exclusively on my Elec/Elec Blaster and have not noticed any problems/changes with these powers.
I just figured I'd give you my experience on the matter!
