Quote:You too? My bf was supposed to get his 7 year badge in September and I was supposed to get my 7 year badge in October and both of us are still waiting for that to appear. It's almost December and nothing has been addressed regarding this issue. Either nobody knows or cares if this is going to be resolved.Originally Posted by M_A_W
Ive got no problem w ppoints either, its the tokens and especially my 5 year badge that I ought to have got last month that Im upset about. Well really mainly that badge is important to me and its more than a month over due.
Honestly, I don't care about the points and tokens, I just want my badge. -

It IS that time of year again!!! Back by popular demand, and for the Fifth(?!?!?!) year in a row, it's the Annual Protector Holiday Card Exchange.
For those not familiar with this event, here's how it works: Those who opt in to participate send holiday cards to everyone else who signed up. So, you send out a bunch of cards and receive a bunch of cards from familiar faces from the forums and ingame on our cozy little (okay, probably not so little) server. In previous years, between 20-25 people have signed up for this, from the US, Canada and beyond, and I'd wager there will be at least that many again this year participating. Previous years people have sent all sorts of nifty things including stickers, ornaments, handmade cards, and more (looks pointedly at Golden Ace). Also keep in mind that you are not required to send anything more than a card. People that choose to send goodies do so because they want to.
Signups are officially now open!!!! Start saving those stamps and finding cards! Signups are open until November 27th, 2011, and the list will be shared shortly after that. The sign up linky is here.
In order to participate, you must fill out the form located here!!! -
Quote:Forgive me if I haven't seen this posted anywhere and missed it, but what about Veteran badges, specifically the yearly (7 year vet, 6 year vet, etc) badges. When are they being awarded? I know several people (myself included) who were supposed to have been awarded them in September and/or October and weren't, but nothing has been said about these and how the transition has moved dates around and such. When are these being awarded?Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Because Reward Tokens being awarded are on an individual basis (there's not a single date everyone receives them on and they can vary based on circumstances which affected the old Veteran Reward system) it's been difficult to post a one off, this covers everything explanation.
Because further posts may confuse more than explain, we're advising those who feel that their Paragon Reward Token status, Paragon Point status or Server Transfer token status is inaccurate to please file a Customer Support appeal either in game (include the words "Paragon Reward Token" in the subject line) or through email by visiting https://support.cityofheroes.com. The Customer Service team has access to your individual records and will be able to review them for accuracy and concisely explain when you should receive all of your VIP benefits on a monthly basis.
Thank you!

How many years has this been running now Vyx?
Also, signed. -
Another place to find inexpensive cards is your local Dollar Store. Or you can make cards if you're feeling creative. The possibilities are endless.

Ahh, have you considered taking a 'Secret Santa' approach instead? I could think of a few Protector Pals I'd be able to send specific cards/etc. to but I feel like this system would lead to a sort of generic/empty approach, at least on my end, if it involved sending out a bunch of things to people I'm not close with/haven't played with long enough to give anything really sincere or personalized to.
Pfft! A card exchange is more fun! If someone sends things in their cards, its because they want to, not because it's necessary. The only thing required in the card exchange is to send cards. Anything else is optional, and /not/ required.
Trust me, it really is something fun to do, if any of the enthusiastic responses are any indication.

Quote:Sure! It's a good, old fashioned holiday card exchange. Everyone who is interested submits their info (I've been using a form to gather info and it works well). Once we get past the cutoff date (usually around US Thanksgiving), I send the list to everyone who is in, and we send everyone who's signed up holiday cards and receive cards (and sometimes other surprises).Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
This will be my first holiday season with Protector/COH as a whole... Well actually, I'll be getting my one-year badge right around this time so technically "second," but y'know. Anyone wanna elaborate?
I've been spearheading this for *gulps* 5 or is it 6 years now (I want to say this is the 6th year) ? I honestly don't remember, but it's been a few years now and every year there's on average at least 20 participants. It's a lot of fun, and an excellent way to spread holiday cheer to your fellow Protectorites.
I'm getting the feeling that this will be a go again this year, so I'll probably be putting up the info post in the near future. -
Is there any interest in doing Ye Annual Holiday Card Exchange this year? If so, I'll work on getting it together. Discuss.

Quote:And trying to factor in budgeting, especially if airfare is involved, etc. As fun as this sounds, a month is not enough time to budget, plan travel and vacation time accordingly.Originally Posted by Commander
Sadly, one month's notice is not enough time for most people to get off of work, especially with a national holiday within two weeks of the event. Also with Thanksgiving being that close to the event, you're also dealing with ungodly travel preparation since it's one of the two most traveled holiday months.

I hate to add to the bandwagon and use this as an example, but grouping the ATs together by playstyle is a Very Bad Idea.
If I'm looking for a specific AT, I'm going to look for it there. The thing with the ATs is while they have their intended purposes, they are versatile and are capable of many different things.
Example here: if I go to look at the "support" option and see dominators, I'm going to assume they don't do a lot of damage until I start playing one and see that it's doing a better job of being a blaster than my blaster, aka blastroller. I'm not sure how consolidating this is going to be more helpful instead of a potential hinderance. Several ATs run into this problem, several times over.
If you're looking for a way to consolidate the front page bloat, maybe collapsing the sub-forum by default so that just "AT forum, etc" appears would be a better idea. That way you don't see all of the subforum until you click on it, all of the information is still there, yet the amount of frontend clutter is reduced.
Without quoting Bubbawheat's post a few posts above mine, I'm going to agree with how he proposed laying out things. -

I would like to add that The Layla/Stone contest have another purpose besides fun and giving out prizes. I am looking for a new costume for my layla rei main toon. I will make the winner's costume my new costume of choice to wear! Also I'm looking for a new costume for stone because i'm making a doll for myself of Stone Daemon ... but.. i would like to see him in something different. I already did his roman outfit and i'm just not sure those others of his will convert to an adorable doll for myself. So i'm hoping you guys can come up with something else for him
I will be very sad if no one shows up >.> <.< Dont make me cry!
Also i'm looking for players that will help me spread the word of this event in game! *looks at sooner*
I just realized that there isn't a where for the CC posted that I can find. Is it going to be Pocket D, or somewhere else entirely different?
I has a costume (okay, 2, I was feeling creative), but don't know where to take it to show off later. Helps! -
Quote:When we got it on Protector last week, we were joking that the "Hugs it Out" badge should be awarded as well for all of the profanity this Mo badge generated. Congrats!!Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
It's the profanity that makes it worth it. Congrats!

I already mentioned it elsewhere, but I'm mentioning it again, Happy Birthday!

I was hoping to see if there was any word on the Victorian Steampunk clipping issue 20.5 introduced as mentioned in this thread.
-
I'm now getting the same clipping issues as the OP. These clipping issues did /not/ exist before the patch today. No amount of scaling will fix this.

*crawls out of shell*
A very belated thanks! I've been busy lately, so my forum time has plummeted, which I think is cyclical, I go for stretches of living on the forums, then I disappear for just as long.
Caem - you're prolly a wise man not to tamper with the mighty DN artz (but your drawing /was/ recognizable. So there. =P
Thank you!

I hate to be the person to suggest that maybe the hamsters went on strike again for lack of Oreo offerings.

Does interface still proc for pet attacks? If so, with Creepers, this is still a pretty good choice. I have it on my Plant/Fire/Fire and between pet attacks (if it still works, Audrey & Creepers) and my fast attack chain for ST's (Blaze, Blast, Incin) I am liking it.
