  1. They updated the patcher for Live. Yesterday, when I went to load up Test, the patcher started, closed down, and re-opened a few seconds later. Live didn't do that. I just checked, and Live just did the same thing.

    See this sticky for info about the Updater Update.

    Condescendingly points out that observing tracking device of Developer Postings would have shown thread was relocated to different, pre-existing section, as noted in the Forum column nigh the name of Rearward Lane Pugilist.

    Childish retort aimed at your maternal figure.
  7. Why should I bother helping those two? She sold her soul to the Devil. Caveat emptor, and all that.

    Then, too, there's the fact that they've both caused my Villains no end of trouble. Frankly, I say good riddence.

    Purple/PvP IOs

    On the Live servers, yes. But on the Test Server, maybe it's not such a bad idea.

    Of course, the best idea would be for them to routinely stock the Markets on Test with EVERYthing. ALL Recipies, Slavage, Enhancements, Inspirations. Have them all being sold for 1 Inf., allowing us to get whatever we want/need to Test with.

    I think that would also make it easier to find bugs with Set IOs, since everyone would have access to them immediatly, meaning more people playing with them, meaning higher chances to break things. That is one of the purposes of the Test server, after all.

    (I also think they need to do a monthly Inf and Pres Grant, too... >.>)
  10. Actually, I think what happened is this:

    Character Data from the original Training Room was copied over to Training Room 02. Training Room 01 was taken offline, and Training Room 02 was set to be the defualt server for Test. As such, "purchased" slots didn't make the move, and need to be re-"purchased".

    If you have anyone on your Global Friends list on the Training Room, you'll notice that it says they're on Training Room 02.

    That didn't work for me, Agg. Was one of the things I tried before coming here and asking in Tech Help, and being told to turn off UAC.

    If you're gonna do that, then add in destructible environments. KB someone through a wall. That would be SMASH!!

    There seems to be alot of talk of how necessary these are. Honestly, how necessaray is any badge that doesn't unlock a cool new accolade power, costume part, gadget for your super group, gladiator to play with (if you're into that sort of thing), etc...?

    Everything else is just fluff. But hey, they are fun to collect. The count badges have just as much a place in the game as all the other badges, an award for achieving something.

    As for the badges and the badge count on the info screen being redundant, i disagree. To me, they serve different purposes. I view the badge count as more of a personal tool for tracking my badge count. I'm generally surprised when someone else bothers to click on my info to access that information for themself.

    The badge count badges, i view as a tool for those who want to advertise. I don't generally go around checking the badge count of every person i meet on the street, however if someone is sporting the "i earned 1,000 badges" badge title, i might be more inclined to take a look.
    qft.

    Actually this isn't new just to win 7. I could do this in Visa. The reason i wanted to know about the show desktop was sometime i have 4-6 different windows and in the alt-tab the desktop is always the last option. In general i guess Im just to lazy to use it rather then just clicking on the short cut in my tool bar.
    Never used Vista. I knew better...

    You might have to reboot. I don't remember... I think you'll also need to delete the desktop shortcuts for anything with that ugly UAC shield icon on it, and remake them...
    Is this the only way? Its not that i don't want to notices. I just don't want it for this program. I kind of like the concept of having it
    AFAIK, yes, this is the only way. Personally, I don't want the notices. I don't like them, and I don't need them. I can screw up my compy just fine without notices that I'm doing so.
