  1. Thanks folks

    (Also to Biscuits from Union Chat for the same answer)
  2. Started a new Warshade recently and looking at the powers, there's an IO set against all of them called "Kheldian Archetype Sets".

    Anyone have any idea what these are?

    Ditto.

    Wonder why Union's been singled out

    Well I have just asked Days to not flog off all the Halloween salvage from the base.

    Now that I've logged out, he's probably AH'ing it as fast as he can.

    Thanks all. Two days back and 3 alts already. (Yeah, I'm out of practice)

    *does the happy dance*

    Back for a little bit - my MMO playing has been very random recently (ie I've dabbled in everything), but I figured it was a good time to come back and play again. (pre I21 and all that jazz)

    Life's good. Everyone here still happy?

    Yeah, it may be old, but there's nothing as warm and cosy as your first MMO.

    *settles back into a comfy chair*

    Hi all.

    I remember him. He and his wife both came up to a meet in Glasgow and were great fun.

    Good to see he landed on his feet.
  10. I stayed for 5 years, got bored, went off to try other MMOs for 9 months or so then came back here and haven't looked back since.

    Why? Because it's fun. It's simple and it still occassionally makes me go, "Oh wow!"

    And because that boyhood part of me has always wanted to be a superhero - and here it works.

    And this too - no other MMO I've played even gives you the variety (or, in some cases, the free capacity to enjoy that variety) that you get here.

    I always wanted a satisfactory conclusion to that arc - it just kind of fizzled out as you got distracted with higher level arcs.

    But all things considered, I'd much rather have a whole issue devoted to what happened to Dark Astoria and some attempts to resolve it (in fact, I wonder if the new tech which allows contacts to disappear could apply to whole zones and we could have a restored Dark Astoria).

    (Yeah, I know - so unlikely, but it could be so awesome).

    Ironically, I normally don't like magic plots (Science! for me please), but Dark Astoria needs some kind of resolution.
  12. Just do the same as has happened for all the previous Superman movie kickoffs - cast a complete unknown.

    Everyone else (especially Welling) has far too much baggage for a clean break.

    Ah, it's like being back home on the EU forums about 4-5 years ago....

    *goes into blissful memory state*

    Sorry, moment passed now. Carry on.
  14. Crazy Issue 20 Theories?

    Lightsabers. That is all.

    What?

    Yeah, I'm the same - have stopped playing my Peacebringer and Warshade, just because I want three extra powers!

    Where do you think I've been for the past year?

    Sod I20 - I want my inherent Stamina!
  17. Maybe there is a Closed Beta for the EU and it's just something that can't be discussed without violating the NDA?

    If they take that tack with any complaints then they'll have a free ride until after I20 launch.

    By that point everyone will be whining about something else. ("Waaaaah, someone can do something that I can't, nerf them now or the game will shut down tomorrow." - the usual, in other words).
  18. I've got an issue with this bind:

    Quote:
    /bind tab "target_custom_next alive quantum$$target_custom_next alive void$$target_custom_next alive cyst$$target_enemy_next"
    For some strange reason this bind is targetting "Nebula Elite" Council targets and sticking with them, even if they're standing right next to a Galaxy Quantum.

    Anyone else having this issue?

    Edit: never mind, this seemed to solve the problem

  20. Thanks folks - I've got someone from support looking at it now.
  21. I stopped playing last year around October, just after I had got my 5 year Vet reward.

    My sub lasted until around March 2010, so when I came back last week, I should really have had my 63 month reward, if not my 66 month one.

    Now, I'm still got my 60 month vet reward, as I should do, but when I look on my account page, it says that I should not be receiving my 57 months reward until 22 Nov 2010 and my 60 month until February 2011!!!

    Given that I haven't gotten any reward past the 60 month marker, I'm guessing the dates on my account are the ones I will be getting these rewards, but it's wrong.

    Anyone else had this issue and have they managed to get support to sort it out (I've put the question in, but there were numerous warnings that Support are unable to fix Vet reward problems - which given that it's an issue on their end, rather than mine, is a bit unsettling).

    Thanks.
  22. I've been gone nearly a year as well.

    Going Rogue has reinvigorated the game for me. I'll be here for the next little while. At least until TOR comes out.

    It's the new arcs that have done it. Not to mention the fact that I can take a character from one side to the other.

    To me, it was a good break, but it's good to be home.

    Is that avatar your WIFE?

    Does she know? (Of course she does....) *shakes head*

    Edit: To everyone else who said hello, it's good to be back. Don't know how long for, but I've got 89 or so days of time remaining at this point and so far I'm hooked with the new shiny stuff.

    Your memory fails you.

    I played this game for 5 solid years. I did, however, stop posting on the forums for a little bit about 3 years ago. But I never actually said goodbye (Edit: No, sorry, I apologise. I did say that I was going to stop posting and then.....) I just literally stopped posting for about 5 months and then started again.

    So whilst I've had two "I'm back postings", I've never actually had an "I'm leaving the game" post.

    (Can't remember if I did one before leaving there.... *checks post history* yep, my last post was about the Ghost Slaying Axe)
