  1. So... does that mean I'm next? Flarestar, my Fire/Fire Tanker, is the first character I ever made on Guardian. He's sitting at 36. I'm coming up on my 72 Month Vet Reward next month... o.o
  2. *nom nom nom nom nom*

    Thanks, Kay!

    Test got a patch last week (I think it was?). I tested, and double clicking a server that has a patch needed will indeed launch the patching process.

    Sorry, but this is beyond my abilities.

    In the UAC dialog itself, click the little drop-arrow in the lower-left part of the dialog box to "show details" so you can see exactly what's going on. I'll bet that if you have Test or Beta servers in your list, what's happening is that the Launcher is too stupid to write the "Installation Directory" string entries to your part of the registry. I'm not making this up: I had to manually create those entries in HKCU\Software\Cryptic\CohTest (and CohBeta) in order to shut the bleeping UAC prompts up. Why in the name of bleeping bleep the Launcher couldn't write to my own part of the registry is beyond me. But, oh well.
    I just disabled UAC. It's useless.
  4. I discovered why Pepsiman keeps going to these cons... you see, he's on a mission...

  5. Thanks! Now to try to figure out how to make it work, and how to break it...
  6. I don't suppose you'd be willing to share the source with me?
  7. Welcome home!

    And congratulations on the baby!
  8. I just recently switched to Avast from AVG Free. It was ranked well by PCWorld, and unlike others I tried, it lets me schedule when I want it to check for updates and when I want it to scan my PC.

    And it doesn't hog resources.
  9. Still need that badge. I wanna be there for the attempted run, but I can't promise I'll make it... :|
  10. Happy Birthday, Kheldarn!

    ...

    Wait...

    Thanks, all!

    WEI goes AFK

    Congratulations on the new job! Have a safe trip, and we'll see ya when you get back!
  12. It's a bug that I reported in the I17 Closed Beta, when we got to play with the then new Ultra Mode stuff.

    If you mean the Mastermind Pet Command Window, and the Icons it has, well, that's not a Popmenu. We have no access to that, so we can't modify it.

    You can't add images to popmenus. It's just one of many things they don't support. Sorry.

  17. Congratulations! Sorry I vanished, but my internet died.

    I don't think I'm meant to have these badges...
  18. And if you're asking about the remaining 5 Slots, my guess would be that the Incarnate XP doesn't carry over, but we don't really know, since it's a new system that we didn't see until after the Alpha slot.
