the Double-Level Bug rears its ugly head again.
Animation bug: Shield out, ninja run on and, rest. because the animation for Rest is set at either a higher or even priority as the ninja run it tends to flip back and forth. Personally I would like to see the animation priority for rest dropped back where it was before i16 so I can read a newspaper instead when resting or mebby sipping on a drink instead of always kneeling down.
same thing happens with mission transporter -
2 days since the original petition and 22 hours since my last email to them checking on the status, and I have nothing.

Quote:You are Incorrect :P (granted you are correct about the case sensitive part however I hadn't selected the name yet, only the idea and was glad to find out all variations were available.)Originally Posted by tanstaafl
I didnt think character names were case sensitive? ie if DriveBy is taken, then Driveby, DRIVEBY etc are all taken.
They were both available and I used DriveBy instead. (I'm not a big fan of hyphenating anything when it comes to names) The quote was for before I chose my toon.Quote:but still, Drive-By and Driveby were both available, thanks to my (albeit odd) case of OCD I capitalized the B in By so there yah have it.
One of them few posts you gotta read into cause my friends say I'm naturally cryptic and vague 99% of the time.
Honestly... I don't get it.

Quote:Actually not so simple. Because it depends on the definition of "lapsed" What excatly is the amount of time (or days) for the account to have lapsed?Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Pretty simple, folks. If you subscription lapsed, you're not eligible. If it didn't, you are. If it didn't, and you didn't recieve your badges, open up a support ticket. If you can't tell whether or not your account lapsed...then you've really confused me. At the least, I suppose, you could ask CS if it did or it didn't. But wow.
Obviously you don't know the answer to this question however I do not as well and I'm pretty sure that 2-3 days in 4-5 months is easily overlooked as a bill processing issue or otherwise.
For vet rewards and such, the lapsed time states something in the range of 90 days (I think, my account is active at the moment and I can't see that status)
And by the way, lose the holier-than-thou attitude plz.
I'm more loyal to my home and food on the table than to some on-line game when it comes to the current economy. -

Quote:me, it might of been 2, mebby 3 days tops (I get paid on a Wednesday.. odd aint it?)Originally Posted by Dispari
All I know is my friend was on a resub, but the card on file was frozen. She didn't think about it until a few hours later, and switched cards out. She has an email form support saying she wasn't deactivated long enough to be disqualified, so she sent that email as a petition to get her badge.
And sometimes certain bills take precedence over CoX for a few days hence why month-to-month)
I've already put in the petition but didn't think of a generic ask the question first before hand. Oh well I gotta do some work today before I can actually play so hopefully I'll see something in my E-Mail aroundabouts "Hi, we have checked your account data and noted that the amount of time actually 'off' was minimal and applied that badge to your account."

You've stuck with us through thick and thin and tomorrow you are going to receive your reward!
During our maintenance window Thursday, November 19th (4:00 – 6:00 AM Pacific), we will be granting the Loyalty badge (Vigilant for Heroes and Determined for Villains) to players who maintained an active account from August 15, 2009 through November 16, 2009.
If for some reason you do not receive the badge but feel you are entitled to it, please file a petition via Ask a Question.
Everyone appreciates Loyalty and this is our way of saying thanks for all your support!
[Edit] Now I'm wondering for those who didn't get the badge but WERE active during this time... Were you (or they in Dispari's case) a month-to-month account or a recurring subscription? [/Edit] -
Cause it has to be said...
SHUT.
UP.
No more derailment. (You are gonna get the thread locked like another recent one I've posted on)PLZ! KTHXBAI!
Anyway I found a good use for ninja run, granted the look isn't what I'm going for and my toon "James Ruckus" AKA "Ruckus" a Sonic/Psy blaster was a latent mutant till crey pumped him full of untested drugs to keep him alive after a motorcycle accident (the character is a thrill seeker) so Science/Mutant? I just settled with Mutant and thats how that song ends there.
Back to Ninja run as part of the character concept I came up with upon creating him,
Parkour and Free-Running. One of his specialities leaping off of buildings to the next one and back again using the most efficent possible way to get from point A to point B. 2-slotted sprint and swift and ninja run = 60Mph (or thereabouts) So yeah, dual-origin bit, squashed, Ninja Run... Epic Win in my book. Just gotta be creative with its usage. -
Quote:Whats really creepy? At the time I finally log in my toon, I already have a full background story kickin around in my head for them... And I don't even play on Virtue...Originally Posted by St_Angelius
I too have had little trouble comming up with (what I concider) good names over the years. Admitedly I'm an EU layer on an EU server, but even when the boards were seperated and we still had these sort of discussions over there, so it's nothing new and still have the same complaints.
I can see both sides of the arguement, which is why I offered up a suggestion earlier in the tread which could have kept both sides happy. Sadly it didn't seem to go down too well. Oh well. But when I create a toon I always start with concept, and maybe even a basis for a bio before I even choose an AT or powerset, let alone a name. Usually I get a feel for the name from the concept, then as i choose AT and power sets the name starts to take shape in my head. Some examples of my toons, past and present, are as follows...
1: Tess Trueshot, an extreme range archery sniper
2: Psi Fire, a sci-fi geek who after being kidnaped by a villian named THe Blazing Bolt learns she has pyschic powers, defeats the villian and takes his armoured suit and fire weapons systems and customises them for herself (thus making her technically a dual origin character :-) )
3: Loita & Lina Lethal, genetic clone twins that escaped from a test lab where they were being "matured" and implanted to be the pefect asassins but were seperated during their escape, one ending up in paragon city the other in the rouge isles.
4: Nowucimi Nowudont, a stage magician that discovers he posseses real magic.
5: Perfect Pitch, a mutant girl with vocal chords that cannot be used for human speach, but can be used, among other things, to duplicate any musical instument she has ever heard.
I could carry this list on for ages with my other toons, like Terror Poser Blondi (spider), Dread Visage (WS), Primary Star (PB), Pretty Hate Machine (bots MM), Trouble Seeker, Kid Ego, Sergeant Psyche, Microwave Girl (SG in joke) N'Jahl Stormcaller, A Cold Spell, Aspen Darksfire, Kunoichi Jounin Kai, etc. None of those names were set in stone and some were not even first choice names, but they are names that fit and work perfectly for the character.
Comming up with a name then working everything else to fit the name to me just seems odd to me, especially with how long I usually take making a character. The name is usually the icing on the cake rather than the cake itself for me. The name finishes off the concept, the concept isn't made to fit the name.
Honestly, I'm worried I will never find a team cause everybody is too busy in Pocket D to do anything

Quote:Pfft, shows what you know! He's a Villain! So there!Originally Posted by Thirty_Seven
I respectfully disagree that that is a good name, on the basis that "real" superheroes don't use CamelCase.
Nah its a habit of mine to do words like that, but still, Drive-By and Driveby were both available, thanks to my (albiet odd) case of OCD I capitalized the B in By so there yah have it.
Now I only wish he had a car...
As for other toons, I have a few namesake ones like my Warshade named Stygian Renegade and Gibbering Lunatic (always complaining about being trapped in the sewer and the rats that ate his legs) Good names hard to come by? Nahhh... Give me a ring, tell me yer Architype (mebby Origin too if you think that will help) Powersets and perhaps a screenie of your costume and I'll give you a name that fits and sounds at least remotely cool and unique
I'm a professional, trust me o.O -
DriveBy on Pinnacle. Thug/FF Mastermind. Good names are NOT hard to come by
(FYI I usually play at the lowest graphic settings possible besides screen resolution hence why the outfit looks a bit craptactular) -

Figure I would throw out my creativity out there to give some examples,
Freedom:
Jonathan Irons - WP/SS Tank, Level 50
Garasene Demon - Rad/Kin Corr, Level 50 (The Old-School name for "Legion")
Gen. Harry Johnson - Merc/Pain MM, Level 40 (Don't know what I was thinking and aiming for a name change)
Bane Recluse - Crab/Bane, level 33
Rak'tah - Peacebringer, Level 27 (Decided to make a name that sounded Alien in origin)
James Ruckus - Sonic/Mental Blaster, Level 23 and going strong
Shogun Raiko - Ninja/Storm MM, level 21 (started this toon when the natural pack came out with a team bud of mine)
Stygian Renegade - WarShade, Level 13 (Not much love for this one because finding some lowbie teams willing to keep the WS alive isn't easy. lol)
Cyber-Jolt - Elec/Shield Scrapper, Level 11
Akira Hayato - Zombie/Dark MM, Level 11 (Un-dead ninja mastermind)
Operation Meltdown - Rad/Rad Defender, Level 10
The other 3 slots I got are for "throw-away" characters, to test em out and figure out if I like the build or not.
After looking at my Virtue server list... >.> Not a character there under the 60 day mark for offline time.
Pinnacle the server I re-started my gaming with CoX at:
DriveBy - Thug/FF MM, Level 21 (solo)
Gibbering Lunatic - Psychic/Mind Controller Level 31 (Namesake. Not sure if thats what the power set truly is as I'm naming them all off the top of my head from what I can recall)
Grandmaster Drak'nah - Kin/Elec defender, Level 22
Ex0duS - I think... Energy/Sonic Corrupter, Level 30 (This one was based off a moniker I took during my younger more illegal years if you catch my drift)
So yeah personally I don't think its hard to make a creative name, but it can be difficult.

Everytime I see someone demand names get released or get them tied to global names I'm reminded of this . . .

But then I don't have trouble coming up with unique names.

Ok, that makes a bit more sense, I wish they (or someone) would document these commands better for everybody to understand...

*bump* YET ANOTHER one with MM's.
Upon zoning pets have a habit of "forgetting" I've trained them in the first place. the "train everybody with everything" type of animation plays but I don't see any of my mercs with their helmets on signifying that they were trained. Same thing with my ninjas, zombies and, robots. Not sure about thugs but I'm pretty sure if those are affected all of them are. -
Quote:Every time I tried it last night ended up telling me the format was incorrect, telling me to use either /arena or /acOriginally Posted by Pengy
It's working for me.
I did both and got the same message on both.
Could be a bug just related to that specific toon or it could just be a bug where /arena doesn't work in areas without a arena.
'Nother one.
Difficulty set at +0/x0/No AV Yet Everything is spawning +1 to my level including Minions showing as yellow. (I'm level 20 and they show up as level 21) This seems to be across all characters that have not modified their difficulty rating. -
Quote:It was immediately afterwards, so the code for mystic fortune and walk is conflicting. Probably when the Mystic Fortune power goes through it's randomization for the buff selection before it actually applies.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
That would be a different bug then, depending on how long after Mystic Fortune was cast before you shut off Walk. If it was longer than the duration of the buff, you wouldn't see it applied so it wouldn't be a bug.
/arena command no longer works. Nor does its pseudo command /ac -
Quote:I actually shut off walk afterwards, the buff from Mystic fortune did not apply. All that was there was Defiance and Swift.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
WAI. ALL powers are disabled when Walk is on. That includes external buffs. Once you shut off Walk, the buffs from a Mystic Fortune used on you is applied.
The current bug is that apparently multiple Mystic Fortune buffs are applied as soon as you turn off Walk, and the Mystic Fortune buffs are supposed to not stack.
