    As others have said, you are whining.

    Also, these are not "raids" in the sense of raids in other games. You form a team, and these things are usually done in under 30 minutes. OH NOES THE HORRORS! 30 MINUTES OF EFFORT!
    More like 30 minutes of awesome super powered fun.

    Popular theory is they are removing the old ones and making new ones in the current US database.

    Just make sure you make it clear that the inactive account is on the same master account. It's probably the only incidence where we have a chance of persuading them to change policy.
    I wish you the best of luck.

    I don't see this as an option, but I don't have hands on with any part of it.

    God Speed.

    Today I noticed that my "Your Supergroup's upkeep was due" message is indeed a click-able link.

    What I did find amusing was the options that showed up when I clicked on it.

    • Send "Your Supergroup's upkeep was due" a Message.
    • Send "You're Supergroup's upkeep was due"'s team leader a Message.
    • Invite to Team
    • Invite to League
    • Send "You're Supergroup's upkeep was due"'s League Leader a Message.
    • Get Global Name
    • Add Friend
    • Add Note
    • Ignore "You're Supergroup's upkeep was due"
    • Ignore "You're Supergroup's upkeep was due" as spammer.
    I think I'll ignore him as a spammer!

    If you hadn't noticed this before, I hope you're as amused as I was.
    Yeah, don't invite him to a team, he's a door sitter.

    Which is the better option? Happy customers, or unhappy customers?
    The more complicated the solution the more complicated the errors if things go bad and the longer the whole process takes.

    I sympathize with the EU community on a lot of the hassles they deal with (esp. maintenance times and formerly server restrictions) but account name is pure fluff. First world problems indeed.
    I wonder what account names would have been used if the original server setup verified everything against a master list so old beta accounts would always have blocked new EU accounts and the like.

    At least old beta accounts don't have global names.
  7. This makes me believe Ghost Widow is just a big emo.

    This is most likely to prevent someone in the US who wants to be a butt from grabbing up a desired global from a EU player if it became free before the merge.

    If your goal is to destroy the world how does stopping war do this?

    I kind of like it when you discuss things rationally, it gives your words weight. I do also get a thrill from nerd rage though...
  16. They could make the warhorse a non combat pet and not even add animations.

    Also I can't wait to make a clockwork cat girl.

    No reason for it?

    I find it incredibly amusing, and since I'm not poking anyone into action I can't be blamed for it!

    It's like an early Mother's day!

    Luckily for us that person seems to have gone away a few months after that.
    It's sad PS no longer gets his money, but I am glad we have one lees source of uneducated hate fouling up our forums.

    Fixed Rewards?

    I think 10 threads should be removed, and the door sitter should be the common drops Previous common drops place will be the new uncommon the remaining percentage will be split 75/25 with rare and very rare.

    (Ironically, I crashed and got an uncommon.)

    I guarantee you they were here, working their *** off, and doing a fine job. Participation is still borked.
    50 second Marauder fight? Were the 4 DPS focused builds?

The flavor text cart is pulling the gameplay horse.

    I've seen many people express the above sentiment much better than I ever could in the countless forum threads leading up to this long-awaited patch, and yet here we are. There shouldn't be a meaningfully high thread cost for side conversions.

    Oh, and yeah, that screenie the OP posted is totally counter-intuitive. The best thing you could add to a needlessly complex system, one that features frequent and irrevocable choices, is a head-scratching user interface. Not.

    I applaud that the patch went through so quickly. Not thrilled about some of the details.
    I don't write down what I need. I wait till it's offered and then bring up the create screen to see what I need to pick.

    You don't have to write down a list since your character carries it on them at all times. All you have to do is bind a key to bring up the incarnate screen and choose what you want to do first.

    Unless I misunderstand the power each jump had a chance to fail, the ability to hit a previous target is not a concern.

    After the buff issue is live there will be no issue with Ion as it may hit more targets, hit the same target a few times, or stop jumping all together.

    I'm just wondering if the jump time is low enough to allow it to hit a target who is already going to be dead thus wasting a jump all together.

    Outside of that random is as random does sometimes Ion will hit more sometimes it will hit less.
