  1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KOMRADEKOMMUNISM!!
  2. Multiple-action macro making has been acting wonky for I don't know how long. The last time I tried to make a macro that did more than one thing, it didn't work.

    I found I had to just do /macro <NAME> meh and then manually edit the macro to make it do what I wanted.

    You should give Retrogression a Custom Forum Title for that.

    Apology NOT accepted. That was friggin AWESOME. I want you to do it again.
  4. Here you go. I um... "ripped"... >.> <.< these icons myself, from the game...



    While I would appreciate it if you would host the images somewhere else, I'm not going to expressly prohibit you from hotlinking to them. I have no idea what kind of bandwith I have on that site, since it's hosted by the local library.

    Also, if you plan to use one of them for an avatar, and hotlink it, you'll need to replace the tilde (~) in the URL with the HTML code for tilde, which is %7E, or it won't work.

    Enjoy!!

    Blue COP 10/17

    Aww!! Sorry that you guys didn't get the CoP.

    And Vix, I hope everything is OK...
  6. What I miss are the MegaMan versions of people's characters that someone was doing... Quake, I think it was. THOSE were awesome.

    Of course, I am biased, as I'm a Sprite *****.
  7. Little bit of a sidetrack here...

    ProTip: To earn Avid Reader on a new Praetorian, when you talk to Rothstein, just click the bottom option every time, and you'll get the badge. You do NOT have to click every single option he gives. Just the bottom ones.
  8. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARYBDISCLAN!!

    (Stupid anti-caps crap.)
  9. I checked, and it turns out that my character does have the Return To Contact "mission". However, there is no contact to return to, and no way to drop/abandon the "mission".

    I did it on another character, and when it offered me the chance to do the Mission a second time, I just closed the window, and went back to ToTing. It wasn't too long before the 'WeenTip dropped again for that character.

    I also did some ToTing in Praetoria. As per usual with lowbies, ToTing is a royal pain in the ***. Spawns can easily kill any character under Level 10, and any character over 10 without much effort.

    I never recieved a 'WeenTip on a Praetorian. I used: A new character made on Test, who hit Level 2 via the Tutorial; a Level 5 SS/SD Brute, a Level 10 KM/SD Brute, and a Level 15 KM/WP Scrapper.

    Has anyone gotten the 'WeenTip on a Praetorian?
  10. I've found that you can do the same thing when zoning. I was at a train, clicked my destination, and while waiting, I started to rearrange Inspirations. I was just moving the last one, when the game took control, and moved me into the train.

    When the loading screen came up, I had the blue hand holding the Inspiration. Very weird.
  11. OK, used my Ring Mistress costume, went ToTing in Grandville, and quickly got the 'WeenTip.

    The door was up in The Tangle. >.< Ran the mission, futz'd with the thingers, and then found the Room 'O Lag.

    The cause is the torches on the long skinny poles used there. That's an old time Base Raid Trick. You'd fill part of the base with nothing but those, and lure the raiders into that section. While they were dealing with the major lag, the rest of your guys would off them via snipes/blasts. Remove those, and that room should be good to go.

    Defeted the EB, got Mission Complete, and as expected, got no Reward Table. I then faced 4 or so waves of Praetorian Clockwork ambushes, and exited the mission. Opened my Contacts tab, and clicked the 'WeenTip to "talk" to it. It offered me the mission a second time.

    I don't think that's WAI...

    Ran the mission a second time, and skipped futzing with the devices. Ran right to the end, and defeated the EB. Since it didn't take me too long, there was plenty of time before the PC showed up, so I left the mission.

    After that, I went ToTing, and didn't get any more tips. I need to check, but I think momentary_grace has it right: Since the tip vanished from my window as soon as I selected to run the mission that second time, I can't "talk" to it to finish things up, so another 'WeenTip won't drop.

    Also: I found that Costume Salvage will drop from foes defeated when you get a Trick. Did that happen last year, or is it new? (I'm guessing it's not new, and my brainy-parts just don't remember it happening last year... )
  12. It's not just you. No damage listed for Shield Charge on my Bute, either.
  13. Well, this sucks. I totally misread your announcement. I thought you were going to give us the popmenu builder.

    I've been waiting for it, and waiting for it, and all I've seen are custom popmenus. Went back, and re-read your post. You never said we'd get the program, just the popmenus you're working on.

    *sigh* Oh well. Keep making those popmenus!!

    Ashley MnKnight has 2 story arcs: The Origin Of Power (14-50) and Midnight's Hand (30-50). Other than that, at 35+, provided you've done Midnight's Hand, she'll give you a mission to meet Imperious.
  17. Well, congratulations to you, running 5,000 miles on your birthday, at 400 years old!!

    I noticed that I couldn't redeem the two slots I have (I tried and nothing happened). And when I deleted slots, they reverted to "Unavailable."

    Any ideas what's going on?

    And can I purchase slots on the test server with out being charged, like used to be?

    Thanks, it's kinda hard to test Praetoria since all my toons are already elsewhere, and I'd prefer to not have to delete most of them since the copy tool is still down.
    The answer to your problem is:

    During the time you've been gone from Test, they've mucked with the database a few times. This is the result. You'll have to delete characters until you have 11 or less. All unlocked slots will be relocked. Once you have 11 or less characters, you'll be able to redeem slots normally.

    It sucks, but at least it's Test, and not Live.

    Blue COP 10/17

    I'll be at work, so I won't be able to make it. Sorry.
  20. Hmm... I was hoping to make the circle to Rogue, Hero, Vigilante before the TF run. However, an ITF popped up, so I stopped working on Rogue, and did that, to close the gap to 50.

    Now, I'm a day behind. I guess I'll sit tight at Rogue, since I'll be getting home from work about 30-ish mins. before the scheduled start time.
  21. I was there with you near the end... >.> On that ITF... <.<

    Also: CONGRATULATIONS!!
