The boards will work on a Shifts system (except for GG, who doesn't seem to sleep).

I think she's east coast, or at least EST timezone, as she only seems to have about 5 hours difference...

It's just par for the course these days. Sorry to Avatea and all that, but since the changes in Brighton and her move to the US, support on these forums HAS suffered greatly.

[ QUOTE ]
Still no clarification on what we're supposed to do if we have both EU and US names the same?

I'd really like to know before I go off on hols for 3 weeks.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I were you, I'd assume that no answer is forthcoming, backup what you can, if you have a US account name, change it to something else, and then expect a fight with customer services when you get back from holiday.

Pff. Windows Mobile is the right solution!

[ QUOTE ]

I recently found a good old arcade game at the local run-down pub (you know the one with the ball you guide by rolling an actual ball, can't remember the name for some reason)

[/ QUOTE ]

Marble Madness? Brilliant game... Have a version on my PDA which uses the accelerometer to control it. Huge fun!

LOL not sure if that's an insult or not

[/ QUOTE ]

It's either a compliment, or mereman's going to be meeting my friend Mr NailInACricketBat.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thank 'evans it's a Cricket bat (would hate it to be a base ball bat)

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm trying to keep it topical, because of the cricket season and all that.

and on another note.. this is rubbish...why cant we get one in euro/UK?


[/ QUOTE ]

Because they fired nearly everyone.

What's the point of posting this here?

BTW, that's an Awesome BADGE, not a button. Silly yankisms...

One other question though...

72 hours!? Who the hell is doing the upgrade? A snail?

Naming isn't an issue for me luckily, I'm Carnifax both sides of the pond.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which account will you be using then? Take it they're not gonna merge both of them?

[/ QUOTE ]

I dunno, a bit of clarification that way would be appreciated too. I've asked previously what happens if we own the handle both sides (my EU one is the older of the two) but didn't get an answer.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I were you, I'd do what I did, and rename my US forum account name to something slightly different, so you don't have that problem.

[ QUOTE ]

As for your handles, we will be giving you more information on name conflicts and what to do to change yours after we have made sure that everything is functioning properly on the new vBulletin Message Boards. We appreciate that this is a serious concern, but rest assured we are aware of the situation and will endeavor to minimize any impact this will have.


[/ QUOTE ]

I do hope the naming conflicts are handled based on date of registration. I can imagine some long timers here being REALLY <bleeped> off if they lose their name to someone who regged a week ago...

Ah but thats not the purpose of the thread Freebies for players are the topic

[/ QUOTE ]

I got a whole sack load of freebies at Omega Sektor!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but, and I'm quoting here from an unidentified source "I'm famous, I deserve stuff!" so no surprise there, really.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehehe.. Damn right! I gave my prebooked ticket to my mate ShadowGhost as he couldn't book from Holland, and totally forgot to get myself one in time.. So blagged a goodie bag like the one he got as part of the ticket.

[ QUOTE ]
So if you REALLY wanted to go, you could go over to the comiccon convention?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not impossible, just rather unlikely.

I do see Carni's point. They should done more shows on the EU mainland and it's a pity they didn't. But now, there isn't going to be ANY more shows with NC Soft in attendence in the EU...

Meh, welcome to the world of the rest of us, who never had any sort of CoH event in their country, I think there were one or two in Germany but that's about it. At least you had the experience in the past.

[/ QUOTE ]

I suppose that all depended on how badly you wanted to go, really... A friend of mine, ShadowGhost, is Dutch, but he's been over to several events, including Omega Sektor. Cheap flights ftw!

Keep up FFM Avatea has quite often lately offered costume codes as part of prizes in player organised events Quite a few lately iirc.

Though i personally want an igneous costume code!!! As long as they DONT get something totally unique then i'll keep to our random contests

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, THOSE type of events! I thought she meant actual physical events, where NC actually showed up and had a stand and we all had a massive ball.. Like Omega Sektor...

[ QUOTE ]
You'll be surprised to know that we have secured Knives of Artemis codes for European players as well

But just like the Freakshow, Harlequin and PPD costume codes, this year's codes will only be available through events or contests.

[/ QUOTE ]

What events? Almost everyone in the Brighton office is gone!

Maybe the whip is for your summoned demons, to whip them into obedience?

[ QUOTE ]
But if the APPs and normal Pools aren't being addressed in the first pass I can see the devs wanting to get a 2nd pass done fairly quickly. I think it's almost akin to how the MA was delayed for customisable bosses due to player feedback there'll be a fair bit of player feedback miffed if PC only covers most primary/secondary sets.

[/ QUOTE ]

Based on past experience, I'd be surprised if we saw any additions to the colour customisation for at LEAST a year.

[ QUOTE ]
and that is why i cant keep a veat or heat long enough to pass lvl 10. The concept is solid.

I can make a widow a vampire or a soldier a werewolf.. eventually. But they will always have started as Arachnos.

Every Kheld is a alien bonded being. Its in you re AT.. youre origin... you re missions. You can't ignore this. Its just way too much. For roleplay you would actually rewrite youre own origin and ignore all stuff you do along youre line of levelling.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure I can. I can ignore it, or bend it any way I please, and even do it whilst not going beyond STATED canon material. Some of us are blessed with an imagination you know, and don't need to base our chars on tired old stereotypes.

[ QUOTE ]

Of course, as a non in-game explanation, number of Kheldian characters and number of powers unique to kheldians probably makes them lower priority for the initial pass at power customisation. Hopefully they make it into the second pass.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kinda like the second pass of Powerset Proliferation?

How long did THAT take again? Oh wait, it hasn't, yet.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I won't be colouring anything, because some killjoy git decided that Kheldians aren't allowed to colour their powers for no sensible reason whatsoever.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a sneaking suspicion this has something to do with adapting the powers for both the Kheldian ATs is about as much work as all the other AT's combined.
Personally I like the Kheld colours so I'm not that fussed (not to mention that I could do without an invasion of pink squids, 's gonna be enough 'funny' toons around as is.)

[/ QUOTE ]

I couldn't care less whether it's more work or not, frankly (and btw, you're wrong. The other sets added up contain WAY more powers than both Kheld powersets do). If they're putting the effort in to other power sets, then they can do the same for Khelds. Not doing so is just deliberately [censored] off part of your user base.

[ QUOTE ]
This is the in game reason.

The other reason is EATs are played by a smaller proportion of players, and have a greater number of powers to be altered.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes? And? So what? They're already putting that work in to doing all the other powers, so what difference does it make to do the Kheld ones too?

You're just trying to split hairs because you don't care about changing the colours on hero epics.
Well guess what? Other people DO care, and not allowing us to change them for some brainless artificial reason is NOT on!

It makes no more sense to have a bright yellow dark power set than it down to make Kheld powers pink; yet the dark lot are going to be able to make their powers bright yellow if they want.
