    Sounds right.

    OP - have you ever contacted support about this? And had them ask for network trace info?
  3. I'm sure the DCMA had a large part to do with it as they have always been quick to react to this kind of thing. That, and the fact they [NCSof & at the time Cryptic] could press that since clones of Marvel's characters were made by it's employees under it's direction those where authorized duplications and thus fall under the aforementioned non-exclusive rights claim hidden in the EULA.

    Hasten, Super Speed, Ice Shields, etc.

    Disabling primary and secondary graphics will never happen which I acknowledge but at least they can offer a disable option for some of the pool powers.

    /endrant
    Rant not needed - or do you think the devs don't know we want this? The issue is coding - the most precious thing for any game. And how to store the data? As you can change pool powers it is not the same as storing the data for customized primary/secondary.

  5. From what I recall hearing, part of why the Marvel MMO was pulled is that Microsoft was one of the backers and couldn't be promised it would a success of WoWing proportions and thus backed out.

    Someone did some digging and found the system wasn't a P2P but something that begins with an A... The official thread has it. Basically the data is caches at several locations by supporting ISPs from what I recall reading. Last I heard, anyway. Which is nice because too many people doing bad things (which may or may not merely include people using thenservice they were promised and paid for) with various P2P has cause ISPs to throttle them no matter what the usage from what I've read of others' complaints.

    Then it sounds like your run was bugged - from what I've observed the intent is that her vacation in the middle shouldn't count. But you just need to kill all the non-swords that spawn fast anyway because as I recall she regens somewhat when off map.

    Enjoy the Master of Tin Mage that one is similar but takes more doing to do

    Thanks.
    I think so. You can always type the name in brackets in chat to check the Info tab. So for Call to justice type "[Call to Justice]". Also, check Paragonwiki - It should mention there if they are not (won't mention if they are).

    I think victory has the bigger Euro population for the U.S. servers which also helps a little.

    Depending on the name, you may also win the name back depending on how similar your character is (or rather, isn't) but names like "dark flash"... No hope

    And DC did have a Dark Flash character (currently in "Where did I go?" Retcon Limbo)

    Worst thing is, I started buying ebooks before I even owned a Kindle or iDevice - I read them on the computer!

    And while he might not have control, if his publisher has any respect for him, him asking about could probably help.

    Try sending an email to the publisher.

The best part for me is that the email address associated with my main account makes replying to the support tickets almost impossible since it sends the original message as an attachment, thus not allowing me to put new information into the correct space provided on the original email.

    Looks like I have a fun afternoon of listening to elevator music ahead of me.
    1 - Have you ever tried copy/pasting the original message into a new email and reply thus?

    2 - You can update your support ticket/reply to their emails via the Support site even if they send you an email.

Fun fact is that I'm actualy going to have to contact paypal and my credit card company to stop payment becuase I won't be able to even cancel my accounts.
    Three things that might help :

    1) Log into the support site and try adding the googlemail.com version as an alternate address (note this may result in getting each response twice!)

    2) Log into support and reply there.

    3) Check the Gmail help settings, I could swear there is a method to change how the email is sent (address wise) so it would appear as from the @gmail address.

    Being case sensitive isn't buggy, it's the usual intended setting for security questions.

    Also, not sure if it will help, but try including the last four of your current card if you remember when you changed it.

    Try a support ticket.

What is the big deal? You've been doing this same action since the day you started playing the game! Be a part of the solution; not the problem. Provide a better solution in suport tickets or via the forums. The mindless complaining about clicking on the new EULA "I accept" button on the load screen vs the CoH Loaders's EULA window that we've had since game's launch is insipid, folks. STOP. It's the same thing you've done EVERY time you've logged into the game, just now on a load screen vs the EULA window. The level of trite in complaining about this is sickening and embarrasing. Don't like this new EULA 'I agree' locational change? See the next bulleted item below.
    To be fair, with the old launcher it wasn't so much as clicking through the EULA as double-clicking the play button.

    However, I agree with you although I would like to see them eventual move the EULA to First Login and First Login after Update.
  15. Hey Tex!

    I appreciate the work you folks at NCSoft are doing. Hope this gets fixed up real soon (for your sakes as well as mine); I admit I'm not installing the launcher right now, but by this time next week I should be on a new computer

    If you can, next time something like this happens, A) give us warning (more about the other big recent change) and B) try releasing it on the Test server (or in their forums, at least) first. Might lessen the over-wrought reactions next time. I also understand that your corporate overlords might not be giving you enough time for that kind of stuff, but if you can pass it on up from us?

    There's being critical to the chef, then there is taking a dump on a plate, saying "This is what you served me" and forcing it in their face all because they do something different than what your taste buds are used to.

    Answer is the same as it was to someone else earlier in the thread and I hate to be the one to break it to you (well..not really)

    1) Deal with it.

    or

    2) Quit CoH.

    As it's a mandatory change.
    I've had issues with how je_saist presents himself (including here) but 1) he has provided a lot of help to others so please cut him a little slack and 2) 1) shouldn't matter; please try to be polite in these kinds of threads no matter what as emotions do run high in them.

    While it may be questionable, it could be Tex's only possible choice that would say "We're reading this thread" and not also instantly get him fired. Again, criticism doesn't have to be rubbing someone's face in fecal matter.

    I hope you all have good memories. There should have been an option to put in new information rather than hope people can remember what was said years ago. I for one NEVER give real info (mothers maiden name etc) that is bad security.
    They definitely should of given warning.

    Unless you chose to have it that way, the MASTER ACCOUNT name/password is not your forum name/password. Your Master Account is separate from your CoH Account Name/Password (which is what your forum login is)

AWESOME.
    If you can't get in, try emailing them and explaining your situation - that the account was set up by a different person for your daughter, then the billing changed hands. If you can tell them when, and supply the last four of the CC number when you did, they might be able to reset the account for you.

    While this is the most ill-executed bit of "Good Intentions" I've seen from almost any game (Rift's account naming I think beats it out by a hair) the people at support for this game do generally want to help.
  18. As I recall, I use the mouse wheel/mouse 3. On a PC at least, I know one or more of the pgup/pgdn/delete block of keys does this. Check your settings under the keybinding tab from the options window off the menu.
  19. First I just want to reinforce what White Hot Flash and others mentioned - they have never dumped all the features/bits/etc in the initial info page for an issue. I could see them not mentioning power proliferati. (common ice staplers/scrappers!)

    Also NEW sets can very MUCH define an issue. See powerset proliferation.

    That statement of yours I bolded is VERY MUCH opinion for MANY subscribers, and is in fact NOT a fact. At all.
    Power customization was a major system. It was not just a few powers/costume bits/etc.

    Probably referring to the rewards like the attack powers awarded as pseudobadges and the actual veteran reward badges which spam you on logging a new character the first time.

    Badges

    A note about day jobs:

    Logging out in a dayjob location without the day job badge usually awards a passive power (markets award a long recharge teleport). If you have the badge you get a better and/or faster accumulating benefit. (markets grant a faster recharging teleport).

    Certain pairs award accolades - attacks, heals and other bonuses are accumulated once the dayjob accolade is awarded when you log out in either location of the accolade.

    Name, especially for an established character, can help tell powerset info as well.

    There are also the badges - they don't progress on the initial run of the week - only on the runs of the WST you do that happen after.
