This is the best thing since sliced bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have imported/exported all 30 toons now, and I love it! The Badge tracking is amazing! One click!

I have to ask this, knowing the likely answer. Will it ever be possible to IMPORT a MID's build into LIVE servers, say while doing a respec? And yes, I realize the complexity of that question :P

EDIT : Also, it won't read characters from the TEST/BETA server. Is this intentional, or does that mean i19 will break it?

Hmmm. After reading each message, I get the drift on two things.

1) Since I play on Protector, which is a low volume server IMHO, I won't get to do the winter event..... *Sigh*

I only got to do the Halloween event once successfully, because at most there were 4 players in the zone when the events occurred.

2) Now I know why the Candy Cane's at the market went insane, and were sold out today! Yay for me I still had some up for sale from last year

This means (As I read it), you can chat at the part where you login to your account. Once you select your toon, chat is ended.

I'm ok with that. I would never have a need for it, but I won't cry DOOM at that point.

(This is the DOOM part)
If they DID change their mind, and added it in-game, that would be my clue to cancel the family's accounts. I've played way too many games that have VOIP, and listening to some little 13-yr old belt out a tirade of racial-epithets when they get killed does not appeal to me, unless I can ban their account right there. By the way, in the games I [u]USED[u] to play with VOIP, we ran our OWN servers, and turned it off. Here, NCsoft runs the servers, so they would have to monitor/record every conversation, and ban accordingly. This would drop their user base significantly, just based on some of the crap I've seen typed. I can only imagine what they said out loud, and would rather not hear it.

Lighthouse, I'm gonna hold you to your word here.

Can you just offer a way to disable the in-game e-mail entirely? I have never, ever used it.

Seconded. Make it a per-user setting, so those that REALLY use it can, and those of us who could care less (or use a website for SG communications) don't get spammed.

I probably be flamed for this because it is a radical idea. But ...


Why not remove the e-mail system all together? All MMOs have e-mail which is why I say it is radical. But, it's usage here is limited compared to some others. We cannot transfer influence, enchantments, salvage, or recipes like other MMOs. It is really only text based communication. In my opinion communication is handled much more conveniently with tells and offiline messages. It would be curious what the actual usage numbers for e-mail would be without those reported for spam. My perception (which is limited and quite possibly wrong) is that it is not used much outside of sending RMT and now p0rn messages. Removing it would stop one of their more powertools, the ability to send spam while the player is offline.

Just my .02 influence.

I would be ok with removing the e-mail system we have if there was an easy way to communicate en mass with my entire SG at once. As it stands now, I have to send SG updates via the e-mail system. I send out a quarterly State of the SG type thing just to let people know what's going on and what's coming up. If there were another system in place I could use instead, I certainly would! The e-mail system is far from ideal, but was helpful when we didn't have globals.

Why not use a website for that kind of thing? It would seem to be more efficient, and could foster more extensive communication, as well... Just an idea....

Well done! Thanks!

Despite the outcry from the DOOMsayers with bare minimum hardware to play the game, I for one am delighted it's back! I didn't find out about the accolade until the very last days, so now I can get it on my alts as well! PSI Res is very handy!

However, I do agree on one point. The ADMIN warnings across all the chat windows does get annoying. Could I perchance persuade a considerate Dev to make it something we can add (or remove?) from a Tab, much like we do any other channel or game text?

Also, can the suits spawn with teams if 4, instead of 6? Or possibly even if there are 3 teams of 4 in the area, totalling 12?

Thanks for listening!
