Here's a good spot to post your coolest action shots. I'll start it off with a pic I took while I was soloing Ghost Widow with my level 42 scrapper Frog In A Blender (I pwnd). As you can see from the chat tab I got a little sound advice from a friend before I went after her but it was all me doing the beatdown.

I know this isn't an original idea but I couldn't resist.

I'm trying to put a link in another thread. I tried to use html but it won't work (it just writes out the link text). Am I right in assuming that I can't use html? If so, how do I create the link?

Has anyone ever seen this guy? Does he even exist? If so, where is he? When you receive a veteran reward respec it tells you that you can either see Arbiter Sawyer in Port Oakes or Arbiter Lupin in Nerva Archipelago (red side). Everyone knows where Lupin is (next to the trainer) but I have never found anyone who can tell me where Sawyer is. If you know please tell me.

Don't put a space after the name of the emote.
I also figured out the one about the costume change emotes. I couldn't edit it for some reason. I had to delete the macro and start over. I don't know why, but at least it's working now.

Quote:I tried all three of those plus I checked out the link (thanks btw). Here's what happens: He thinks Knuckles (or Knuckle or Crack) then says blah, blah, blah in local. I'm not getting the desired emote but he is saying what I want him to and in the proper channel. Is there a toggle in options that I need to turn on? Because I'm having trouble with other emotes as well.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
P.S. I see why you said "Don't click this link" wtf rofl?!?!?! -
What's the emote for crack knuckles (I already tried CrackKnuckles, Crack Knuckles, Crack_Knuckles, and Knuckles)? I'm trying to make a macro battlecry where I crack my knuckles and say "blah, blah, blah". I'm not having the results I wanted. Here's my macro please tell me what's wrong?
/macro Cry "em CrackKnuckles $$local blah, blah, blah" -
Quote:Sorry, I meant quotation marks. Actually, I have all 5 costumes on that toon. I just used 3 because that was which one I had tried last. Btw, I got it to work. I don't know why but I couldn't just edit the macro that I already made (what I was trying to do). I had to delete it and start over. I think I forgot the end quotes when I was first making the macro which is what caused it not to work (possibly I'm not sure).Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
What parenthesis?
There weren't any in the posts already posted.
Also, do you have four costumes on that character? '3' would be the fourth slot, not the third. -
Quote:It shouldn't make a difference that part of the macro is just the name that gets put on the button. I could name it anything that would fit on the button.Originally Posted by Neg_rogue
I'm no pro at binds, but I do notice that Kismet's/Sam's macros were
/macro Cos1 "cce 3 ccDrinkFormula"
while yours doesn't have the Cos. I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not, but it's the only difference I saw

Quote:I'm aware of that, it has already been stated but trial accounts are a primary way that they are being sent as well. Let's just agree to disagree. I've said my peace.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Much of the spam you receive is from paid accounts also.
Example:
Somebody pays for power-leveling and gives their username and password to the company providing the service.
The company takes that opportunity to spam from that account while the service is being performed.
It happens all the time. -
Quote:And rightfully so, because they don't pay for it.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
They already don't get nearly the number of privileges that we do.
-
Quote:They aren't paying for the game and I am. So why should they have the same privileges that I do? If they are legitimate trial accounts hopefully they will see how cool this game is and buy it.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
The point is that sometimes the email is the only method of communication that you have for friends on temp accounts, so they can't take it away.. and probably wont, and it's not only temp account that send out spam... so blocking them wouldn't stop anything.
Also, with the new ability to block email from people you don't know.. you avoid the whole problem, and the information about this new feature could have been found very easily by doing a simple forum search first. -
Quote:Again, read the post that started this thread. That is what I propose we do about it.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
But we have had this drama since the RMTers started doing it and numerous threads railing about it and the devs have made 2 or 3 modifications already with Issue 16 adding yet another.
So what do you propose they should do about it? They are against it. They want to stop it. No one wants the spam mail.
There's several posts a week about it. -
Now for the real reason I came back to this thread...
This is mainly for the devs but feel free to add your input. I have another suggestion to improve the in-game email. Could you make email global so that you can read all of your emails from whatever toon you log in to? Of course, you would have to have some way of sorting them that would tell the user which toon the email was sent to. -
Quote:Totally understoodOriginally Posted by Kismet Angel
oh no, you only need to pick one from 0-4. 0 being the first costume slot and 4 being the fifth slot.
whoops, beaten by sam.
P.S. Why did you get the smiley face with his tongue out for typing :P when all I get is :P? -
Quote:Yep, that's exactly what I did.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
As an example, the command to switch to your third costume slot using, say, the lightning emote, would be:
/macro Cos1 "cce 2 cclightning"
Note that's 2 for the THIRD costume slot, because they count from zero.
Here's the text:
/macro 1 "cce 3 ccDrinkFormula"
I had to remove the parentheses or nothing would happen at all then I put the # symbol instead of 3 in and it changed to the first slot but wouldn't work after that unless I changed again and had it go back to the first slot. (Devs if you're reading this it was on BorisTheSpider virtue red side). -
Quote:You need to re-read my original post. I wasn't unjustified nor did I say "that nothing was being done." I merely offered my opinion of a possible solution. If you don't agree that email should be taken away from trial accounts go ahead and say so, but don't put words into my mouth.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Sure, you have a right to ASK that something be done, but that's not what you did.
You unjustifiably COMPLAINED that nothing was being done.
And as we mentioned several times. Things HAVE been done about it.. and more changes are in the works... so hold onto your shorts. lol -
Quote:And mostly true anyways. Yeah some of them probably buy those pre-paid cards but most are thieves. It's in the nature of the beast.Originally Posted by MissInformed
But accusing them of stealing = better demonization and more fun!

Quote:You want drama? I am fed up with people abusing what is supposed to be a fun feature in a game that I've been paying for 5 years now. I want my in-game email to be free of these harassing emails and I want to be able to use it again as it was intended. You are right that I want people to join in "my crusade" because it's the right thing to do. I know that the devs never intended it to become what it has and I have a right to ask that something be done about it. If you had done your research and found out that I was right in the first place instead of attacking me there wouldn't be any drama.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
*shrug* just because you were right about one thing, doesn't mean you were right about the other stuff. The entire thread would have been better served if you'd either done a bit of looking before posting, or used this section of the forum as intended and come here asking if any changes were coming instead of trying to whip up support for your crusade.
"Is anything going to be done about spam emails?"
"Yes. Issue 16 has some cool filter options and it's due on Live in the near future"
Much less drama, see?
P.S. Exactly what "other stuff" are we talking about? -
Quote:So, I was right then. After a whole page of being ridiculed and scorned. Finally some vindication. Ok, now I know I'm opening myself up for the real lashing. :POriginally Posted by Aggelakis
Trial accounts can send mail through the mail interface. They were never restricted. It was mistakenly believed by the playerbase (including Paragon Wiki) that they were. They weren't, and aren't.

Quote:I did everything you said except it doesn't do anything at all if I change the # symbol to 0-4. Only the # symbol works and then it will only change to the first slot. Am I doing something wrong?Originally Posted by Kismet Angel
type in:
/macro Cos1 "cce # ccname_of_costume_change_emote"
replace # with either 0-4 corresponding to the costume slot, and the costume change emote names can be found here. -
Quote:This is great news! I wish that I had looked into i16 more. I was kind of disappointed when I thought it was just the custom colors thing. The more I find out about it the more I like what is coming down the pike.Originally Posted by jwbullfrog
A filter is being introduced in I 16 (?) that will let you shut off e-mail from anyone other than your friends list. That should all but kill the problem.

Quote:This is good to know but it's still frustrating having to click that stupid spam button for every single message in my email.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
They don't. The spam is likely coming from the accounts of people who paid to get their characters PLed, and then subsequently had their full accounts stolen. Or, the RMTers are making enough money that buying full accounts to send spam emails isn't a net loss. Or a combination of both.
-
Who isn't fed up with the spam that overflows our in-boxes? Everytime I log in there are several emails (sometimes hundreds) from websites asking me to buy infamy/influence or powerleveling, etc. with real world cash. The in-game email has become completely useless. Who wants to wade through pages of spam to get to the one email that you might have from a friend. I don't think anyone uses it anymore because of this. In-game email was once a fun way to contact your friends and packmates. Now it's just another annoying way for abusers to aggravate players. The devs should know by now that these people are using temp accounts. One gets blocked by the player or deleted by the devs and they just make another account. The question is then, why do temp accounts have email privileges? It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that if you take away those privileges and ban anyone who is caught spamming with their main account then you solve the problem. Why hasn't this been enacted? It doesn't make any sense to allow these people to go on harassing paying customers. Please take away email from temp accounts.

Can anyone tell me how to make a macro for costume changes? I also want to use the new emotes. I have all of the booster packs except wedding (it sux) and mac pack as well.
