They have a refund setup in place, though by the time you get this message it'll likely be too late, if you get it at all.

Thanks man. I'm always doing that. Must learn to wait wait wait.

I can't wait! I need that access! I.... *Turns a strange color and enlarges, then finds self covered in metallic armor* I WILL RAMPAGE!!!!!.

Ok.. Managed to calm myself. Anyways, thanks Diggis!

I actually don't see what he is saying as being a jerk. Speculation does mean jack squat. I mean, Yay! Opinions, and all that. But that doesn't help. Any solid facts out there about that? As much as I'd love to have the badges, I wouldn't want to buy them. Everything else? Yeah, I support buying the powers. I never thought that some of the rewards were at appropriate times. Boxer at such a late time? Who even wants to be a boxer, or use the boxer parts? That should have been in the martial arts pack or something instead. (I'm sure some people have interest in playing boxers or using the parts, but it's surely fairly low in the populations interest.) There are a few things that early on were great, but I doubt that people would pick them if they had a choice. I know there are things I would have gotten instead of a few of them.

Thanks for the clarification Kheldarn. I haven't tried a popmenu that calls bindfiles yet, so didn't know that for sure.

Saving and reloading would make sense if it works. If not, there is still the possibility that they work, but only after going to another zone.

You can't call a Macro by name, that would defeat the purpose.

To elaborate, you Can make a macro that loads binds, but you can't use that bind to change the macro etc. So once you use that macro, it would expire in usefulness (at least for what I was doing) because I want one macro or bind that does multiple things, not multiple binds/macro's that call on each other. That's more than extra work.

I don't remember why, but someone explained to me at one point that Macro's have limited usefulness because they were worried about people botting through them.

This post and This post Might have info that helps, but I think the main reason that it's not working is that you have "bind g" outside of quote marks, which means it is misunderstanding that "g" is your entire command. My memory of the code is very fuzzy, and it is 2:00 AM here so I am a bit tired, but it's possible that putting the " Before the Bind command might help. (Maybe) Good Luck, and hopefully you find the answer you are looking for.

I read the forums regularly, I have a facebook account, that I am on regularly, and I do read the announcements that are posted. I managed to noticed the character slots, but not the server transfers. I somehow missed it.

The point that they are making on this thread, is there are a lot of naysayers who don't wish for ncsoft to advertise deals better. If that money is to help this game stay afloat and they want that money, they Should have advertised it better.

I personally wouldn't have payed for either, because to me, the concept of paying to trade a character over, isn't worth the time and effort. I would just make a new character on said server etc. Slots on the other hand, probably useful if I ever feel I have to hold on to Every character on the server in question.

Why do you guys feel it is important to quibble with the OP on his suggestion? There is no need to berate the guy. Seriously, People do miss the announcements.

OP, I have to agree with one thing that they are saying though. What would you like them to do to make you happy with the announcements? Where could they do it? /gmotd? I have found that isn't entirely accessible because it has failed to pop up for me on more than one occasion. I can pop it myself by typing /gmotd, but at that point I might as well have read the launcher statement or the website news. Email? Not reliable. Facebook? Sorry, but I don't read their facebook page everyday, I go on facebook to get together with friends and family, not to read up on my games.

The point is, they can't tailor the delivery method to the individual. They could have made the sale longer, yes, and they could have delayed or extended it past the date of the Global server merge. But as for locations of advertisement, it really couldn't have been improved much.

My .02¢

Thank you for this Info Bohmfalk, I was not aware of this. I do want to maximize my badgecount, I have missed enough non-replaceable badges as it is. This will help in my quest for badge greatness.

This list is helpful, but I found it lacking in one way, it doesn't accurately describe which ones can ONLY be gained by a villain. For instance, I was told that the SF related badges are only attainable if you are a villain, even if you can get credit otherwise. I was also told that you can't get the "Jail Bird" badge as a non-villain either.

Here is a link to a thread discussing some of that, but it seems vague, and was wondering if there was more info to be had. It lists:

* Efficiency Expert
* Bloodletter/Mirage/Spider's Kiss/The Stinger, plus the associated gladiator
* Usurper
*The Day Job badges are also amongst this list. You can get progress on them as Vigilante/Rogue, but only get them when you fully cross over.
*"Helping Hand" and "Keeper of the Coral" badges for completing the 2 new I19 arcs (Roy Cooling on Blue and I forget on red) require you to be a Hero or Villain.
This, is where the list ends, and I've compiled it from a few posts in the thread


My main issue is this seems fairly incomplete, and I was hoping someone had a more complete list. Or that they could verify my list is complete. It's time consuming to become a villain (and the timer doesn't even affect me as I can't play that much at once usually) So I really am hoping I'll never need to take him villain again. I love the switching system, but I prefer my badger to be blueside, and if further villain badges come out after I've gotten them all, it wouldn't be so bad to spend a week or two fixing that problem, but i'm looking at a considerable time investment if I try to get ALL the villain side badges before I switch back.

EDIT: Also, I realized a possible solution to me, but it is somewhat annoying. If being available to my friends is of utmost importance, I suppose I could go rogue for awhile, while earning credit for a large number of the badges, and then coming round the wheel back to villain eventually, but some of these badges only appear to be possible to earn as a villain, even counting credit, based on being the mission holder. Even doing this, I realize it is most likely going to take almost a year to attain all the villain badges, as a few of them are day jobs and are time consuming.

Ah, I'd have this one already on a good chunk of my toons if they somehow knew how long I had logged there. I used to log there on every single one of my vertically enabled toons. Even before the jetpack.

I'm sorry for the necropost, but haven't seen this anywhere, so thought I would contribute.
You can also get Cunning on a Vigilante, as I just did this not 5 minutes ago. You can Earn the Villainous badge on other alignments, but don't receive credit until you actually switch to Villain.

I have a similar issue. I can't find a kin/ combo that is as much fun as Kin/NRG, it's incredibly mismatched as far as capabilty, but the utility of kb is very fun with a defender. Especially if you know enough to stay out of mobs (when teaming with tanks especially) And then use the kb to knock mobs back into the "aggro zone".
This, so much this. I can't say it better.

Anyways, I read your whole post, and I appreciate the advice with the power selections and IO slotting. I particularly liked the suggestion of getting holds. Everybody has their play styles and that totally fits mine.

I just wish we could make a reverse controller, defender primary, with some sort of control secondary. Not so good as a controller mind you, but useful none the less.

Thanks again Stavros, I don't mind you telling me what is good, I don't mind that at all. I was just getting frustrated, because I don't plan on removing those pools from my primary build, thus your good advice would go unheedable there. It's frustrating to not be able to use advice because of being so self... bullheaded. My sentence structure is failing massively, but I hope the point is coming across lol.
Thanks, will do. If I have the influence, at any point I will try your build exactly, and see if I like it. I will put it in my secondary build slot, because I am feeling fairly confident in my current build. I would like to have two wholly different builds anyways, so it sounds like fun to experiment with it. I really do appreciate the help. It is hard to express oneself using text when faces make such a big difference while communicating.
