What happen to that thing u could check server status before even logging in?

[/ QUOTE ]
It broke in 2006, or thereabouts.

The auction house does that I'm afraid; if a toon's not accessed for (I think) 60 days, its auction house slots are all cleared - everything and anything in them is lost.

This is per toon, and independent of whether your account's active or not.

IIRC it is documented somewhere in game, but not very prominently.

Ninja edit: fixed number of days to make it look like I was right all along

Hold on...servers down, world + cat flocking to the forums to find out what's happening and/or kill time...and things haven't slowed down to a crawl here?

New forum server hamsters?

Short answer: because you're not meant to.

[/ QUOTE ]
Longer answer: Because you weren't meant to several years ago, and pre-IOs, when respecs first came in.

Which was reasonable at the time.

This hasn't changed since IOs came in, though - whether that's intentional, they plan changes but haven't implemented them, or they've yet to even consider changes is an open question.

Could the Vista PC be using the US version of the updater, and attempting to get you into the US servers?

Details, and solution, for that particular problem here (you can skip straight to paragraph #6 as you already have an install).

[ QUOTE ]
Not afaik. They only count towards 'heal' powers, including self heals, but not the regeneration rate

[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed; you'd need to increase total HP (to make each tick bigger) or the regen rate itself (to make ticks happen more often) to increase the amount regened over a given time.

Irony overload looms, and it's barely 9:30am...

[ QUOTE ]
If anything there's probably merit to the idea of a slot respec where your powers would remain the same but you could move slots about but that could be a coding nightmare for all we know

[/ QUOTE ]
There's no way of knowing for sure, but that seems unlikely; a slot respec could be pretty much implemented just by starting the existing respec system on the 2rd screen, a enh-only respec by coming in straight to the 3rd screen.

Some work would be needed to handle the new respec tokens, but as far as the respec procedure itself's concerned most of the functionality's there already.

[ QUOTE ]
Well, at least there's an AE building in RWZ

[/ QUOTE ]
I'd have said the bug's the AE building being there in the first place, rather than anything in it not working.

Put it down to a Nemesis plot, and wait for the official release...

Um, I14 on live?

[ QUOTE ]
I just hope people put their guides in the regular guide section, so they don't get mixed up with the "play my arc" threads.

[/ QUOTE ]
...and, at the same time, other people stop posting their "how du i bild ub3r blastor?" questions in the guide section.

[ QUOTE ]
I think unlimited respecs or allowing more than 10 enhancements to be removed from alts would flood the market with enhancements. While I can see an advantage in this for my 50s as they'd be able to buy those enhancements my lowbies would suffer as anything good that they find that effectively sets them up for many levels would likely become very cheap and very useless.


[/ QUOTE ]
Not sure that would happen; if uber-useful enhs (KB protection, +EndRec, etc...) are needed by a toon in the first place they're likely to be needed even after a major respec, so there wouldn't be a market flood there.

For everything else, if the market's flooded and prices go down across the board you won't need the one-off mega drop to be able to afford things in the first place. Everyone finds set IOs more affordable, win all round.

That said, I'm not convinced freeing up more IOs would have that drastic an effect on market prices...it's just that if they did, that effect wouldn't be a bad thing.

Slightly unusual that they're giving it on the same day as I14 comes out; they normally leave a few day's gap so people can't waste it before they get a feel for what actually needs changing.

Edit: Fixed typo

Support are really the only people that can answer those questions[1].

The rest of us are just regular customers, hanging around and making the place look untidy.


[1] Actually, your #2 is more of a statement.

I'm pretty sure WW has a downtime, but since WW is EU-US connected, the downtime is US time, so it means it comes down in the afternoon for us, obviously.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yup, most likely that.

Happy ex-Birthday Pious (sorry I missed it, hope it was a good one!).

I find this odd. I'm a 33 month veteran. I'm not sure how many respecs off the bat that entitles me to (at least, without looking it up) but since the vet rewards were introduced, I've never done a respec trial, nor have I ever bought a respec recipe. Why? 'Cos I've never needed ones that weren't supplied for nowt.

I'll say again, if you're burning that many respecs between vet rewards and freespecs, you really need to look at the way you're doing things rather than ask for the game to be changed.


[/ QUOTE ]

48 months here and on my main PvP toons i haven't got a single respec. While i do use mids it can't help me to foresee huge changes like the ones seen in i13.


[/ QUOTE ]

but i13 came with a a free speck so that shouldnt have cost you a actual respec

[/ QUOTE ]
While I don't agree with the "as many full respecs as you want" idea, Rent did go on to say:

[ QUOTE ]
Yes we get a free respec with every new issue but it doesn't solve the problem of swapping more than 10 enhancements. I've used up to 7 respec's to totally clear out a toon of enhancements before deletion.

[/ QUOTE ]
...so in that light the I13 freespec wouldn't do the job on its own.

With Set IOs in I can see the need for some way to transferring more than 10 enhs off a toon; ideally with some sort of relatively accessible cut down respec, that would let you (say) move as many enhs as you had AH slots for into there to deal with later.

[ QUOTE ]
Of course this is an easy thing to impliment, I know little about game coding etc,

valkyrie completion, where is the shield?


[/ QUOTE ]

That's not a suggestion, it's a demand.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's from someone who's first language isn't English, has a question mark at the end and doesn't look at all like a demand if you read the text of the OP.

In the circumstances it'd be nice not to weigh in with words like "whining" (which some EU mods have regarded as borderline flamebait) quite so readily.
