    I guess you missed my post further up on this page, so I'll just quote part of it.

    So, yeah, when someone has the name and then contacts you specifically to try to SELL it to you, I think we can be certain about their motives.

    BTW, this did NOT happen to me personally. I logged in early and got Ironblade on Exalted. I doubt anyone would have tried to sell the name to me (and that possibility never even occurred to me), I just wanted the name.

    Maybe if it was even POSSIBLE for me to get on the beta or test servers. The character copy tool has been broken for months.

    Just a thought, y'know.
  4. On a related note, don't expect to copy any characters over from the live servers. The copy tool is broken, and has been for months.

    Wait a minute.... Is this some sort of subliminal tactic to push a favorite film? You have 'Swingers' listed twice!

    - people move around servers and use the same names of their main toons?
    - if that name is used by someone else, it taints the playing experince?

    Im honestly intrigued by this, no snark intended.
    Did you miss the part about someone getting a name on Exalted, and then contacting someone who uses that name on another server, to try to SELL them the name?
    You don't see anything sleazy in that?

    You know, at first I didn't read it that way, but I went back and I'd say you're exactly right. It looks like he's a VIP and wants to 'test drive' a set before buying.

    I had this happening once. Someone posted a fix for it, which I can't find. From memory: the patcher creates a temporary directory. If the patcher crashes, the temporary directory stays there and will mess up any subsequent patch attempt. The temporary directory needs to be deleted manually. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the name of the temp directory is.

    And had to browse back through 8 pages of threads since the search tool wasn't helping. Look in your game directory and see if you have a directory named ~PS. If you do, delete it and try again.

    Creepy!

    So, I'm doing Signature Arc #4 and get to the part where my character is referred to as Mr. Daniels...
    WHOA! This guys secret ID is Daniel Frost! How did they.... oh, just a coincidence I guess.

    For a minute there, I thought it was some new dialog tech that checks your bio to see if you mention a secret ID name in there......

    No, that doesn't help at all. I would continue to try to be helpful and ignore the whining in this situation.

    On my account management page, under "Receiving Newsletter", it says "Yes". Is that the option for this? I did not receive it.

    And I have a very limited spam filter. It simply moves suspect spam into another folder where it stays until I review it.

    Yeah, like TOMMY ARCANUS! "oops"

  21. They broke the respec - apparently when they changed the levels at which you are able to take pool powers.

    I was respec'ing a dark/dark scrapper and the issue was with the Fighting Pool. I zipped through the respec and got a little pop-up window after completing it: "RESPEC FAILED". I made sure I had no funny powers running, and zoned. Failed again. I shut the client down completely and tried again - failed.

    So.... I gave it some thought. I had been taking the powers from the Fighting Pool (specifically Boxing, Tough and Weave) as soon as it allowed me. I did the respec AGAIN, ignoring when they became available. I took Boxing after level 6, Tough after 14 and Weave after 20. And the respec worked.

    Now, I don't know if this problem only exists with the Fighting Pool and I don't know at what levels you have to take the powers to make it fail. And I'm not BUYING respecs to test it. I would have copied over to the test server to figure the details out, but the Character Copy tool is STILL BROKEN.

    Anyway.... putting the detailed info here and PM'ing a link to this thread. I didn't feel like typing all of this in the little in-game pop-up bug report window.

    Relevant passage bold and underlined.
    So now CS can just say, "Well, if you didn't get the reward, you must not have participated enough."
    Working As Intended.

    It sucks, but there you have it.

    The Hollows was only popular while it was the 'only game in town'. It was never popular because everyone loved it. Most of the missions are as mundane as the radio missions. Only a handful are actually interesting.

    As for the radio missions, I don't see them being neglected. Certainly, they are less popular now that we have the tip missions which are newer/better. But the radio missions have the appeal of the bank missions (which are pretty good), which offer powers all the way up to the 45-50 range. The radio missions are not 'low level content'.

    2) Making a Villain ("red-side") character is now pointless, causing all of that content to now be neglected. I have yet, even during peak periods, to see anywhere near the volume of traffic in the Rogue Isles that I once saw before Issue 21/Freedom.
    Yeah, because now we don't HAVE TO. I never liked playing a villain much. Now I have the option of playing the red AT's on blue side. Yay! I just don't like being the bad guy and I think a lot of other people feel the same way.

    3) The Tutorial now has less meaning. The run-up to the release touted it as a more "streamlined" experience. It certainly is more brief, but it lacks the informativeness of the original.
    Yeah, the new tutorial sucks. It has a lot of flashy new stuff, but doesn't do the job of being a TUTORIAL. Seriously, voice-overs that never show up anywhere else in the game? What's the point? I ran it once to run it. Then ran it again because I forgot about the comic the first time. That's it for me. Good riddance.
  24. The Kheldian War Task Force is up next. This task force is good for working on the Slayer and Silver Bullet badges. There is a mission populated entirely with vampyri and one filled with warwolves.
