  1. My in-game ping went from 130 to 240

    Strangely Pingtest.net gives me a ping of 147 to Austin TX but my in-game ping is still ~240

  3. Easiest thing to do is save your binds to a file, edit the name of the channel and then reload the file.

    In game type /bindsavefile nineclaws.txt

    This will save all your binds to the file nineclaws.txt in the /data folder of your CoH install

    Then find the file and edit with notepad to correct the names of the global channels that have changed.

    Then in-game type /bindloadfile nineclaws.txt

    This reloads all the corrected binds from the text file into your character.

Since it’s been asked, path auras are not limited to “decals” on the ground, and can contain rather complex particle movement. So things like fire, smoke, frost, bugs, etc., are completely in the realm of possibility.
    Ooooh, it would be awesome if my fire/fire brute could leave a trail of fiery footsteps behind her.

    Rubbish, if they'd done it by Veteran status, height, weight or colour of eyes it would have affected exactly the same number of people. I lost my name to some NA account. If he'd lost his to me it's still only one person affected, just a different person.

    That's more to the point, they couldn't be bothered to work out a fairer way of doing it and just thought "it's ok, we can shaft the EU players, they're used to it".

    Quick Question

    Have you logged in with that level 26 character? If not try that.
  7. My global was eaten and now I'm.....lost

    I'm not sure what I'm gonna name myself. The merge left me named after one of my lowbie alts which will have to be changed at some point.

    Again, we understand your concerns, and apologize for any inconvenience.

    Sincerely,
    Freitag
    Thanks for your understanding but no, it doesn't make up for it at all. I play on Defiant, sometimes stray to Union but really don't need 11 more servers where I don't know anyone. I'd rather have kept my identity thanks.

    Wow, I wish my connection had improved. I live just north of London and my ping went from 130 to 250 when they moved the servers

    Yeah, I made sure I logged out on my main last night expecting a letter to be knocked off the end. This morning I log in to find my global name is the name of a new level 10 alt I played 2 days ago

    Oh, and if anyone has the global @Suzumebachi and isn't that attached to it....can I have it please? I'm missing it already.
  10. Or even any kind of official video, live or not.

    No dissing the chaps who very kindly upload their handheld videos to youtube after these things but it would be nice to have something where the presenters weren't drowned out by the background noise and the powerpoint slides were in focus

    Absolutely this. Some of us work, have kids, life etc. that means we can't drop everything for a one-off opportunity to partake in an event, even if it wasn't tied to a badge it would be a disappointment. Tied to a badge it's ludicrous.

    This would be great.

    I kinda caught last night's chat (it was early evening UK time) but I was trying to get the kids in and out of the bath and into bed so missed most of the chat with David Nakayama.

    It would be awesome to have been able to catch up with it later in the evening or this morning.

Positron famously ridiculed the idea and joked in a closed beta forum that he would just have to rename such a badge the "I paid real money for this badge" Badge. They came up with the "NA to EU" deal as an alternative to this.
    But this was exactly what happened, I know I'm not the only one who opened a NA account for a month simply just to create and transfer a character to my EU account thus paying money for a badge.

    Turns out the joke is on me as I used the same account name for my NA account and now my EU account is going to be renamed in the upcoming merge because of this one-use NA account.

    Just make sure you make it clear that the inactive account is on the same master account. It's probably the only incidence where we have a chance of persuading them to change policy.
    This is exactly what I have done. My NA account was only open for the 30days it came with as I only opened it for the Passport badge. My EU account has been active continually for the last 5 1/2 years. It baffles me that they can't rename my NA account instead of my EU one.

    I understand not deleting accounts, as an application dev myself I never delete records, just mark them inactive, but a simple text field edit shouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility unless as FFM speculated they have been spectacularly stupid and used the name field as the primary key and account identifier.

    So far I have been pointed at the KB article telling me I can't change my account name and informed they can't delete my account "To maintain the continuity and accuracy of the user database".

    I've asked them politely to escalate my request for account renaming, we'll see where it gets to.

    Yup, so far so good this evening. I will monitor the forums for the rest of the evening but I have my fingers and toes crossed...
  17. Yup, I got this email too. I've emailed support because the NA account I'm clashing with is mine, opened ages ago just for the Passport badge and never used after the initial 30 days.

    So far the only reply I've gotten is a cut and paste to the KB article that tells me I can't change the name of my account.

    As far as I can tell there's no option to delete an account either so I'll wait and see if they reply to my follow up.


    EDIT:

    Their reply is "no, we can't delete your account."

    Not so much "support" as a brick wall

  19. I might roll some alts on Freedom or Virtue out of curiosity/altitis but Defiant is my home and I don't see that changing any time soon.
  20. Yup, having the same problem from the UK. Sometimes the pages will load instantly as they always did but most of the time I'm left hammering the link and refreshing until the page deigns to load.

    Very frustrating and the only site I have any problem with.
  21. Running the new trials tonight I half saw a bunch of captions hidden behind my map and wished we had the ability to move them somewhere more convenient.

    There's such a lot of items that need to be visible at once it's a shame to lose the top left corner of the screen on the off-chance that captions appear there. It would be much better if we could move them somewhere that's not normally used.

    Server Status

    I don't recall the EU server status page ever working but I've only been here 5 1/2 years...
  23. From the wiki:

    Quote:
    If multiple players are selling an item for different amounts, the person with the lowest list price will sell first as long as a bid is higher than their list price. Thus, if a lot of people are listing an item for 100 inf, someone who lists the same item for 10,000 inf may never sell it even if people are paying 100,000 inf for it. Likewise, it's possible for someone who lists an item for 100 inf to sell it for 100,000 inf while someone else who lists the item for 10,000 inf only sells it for 10,000 inf.
  24. I hope you're recording it for us Europeans to replay at a more convenient time. I'm interested to see what you have to say but not at 2-3am UK time on a week night

    I have the same problem (GTX460 with the lastest drivers) and it's been like that ever since I moved to Win7.

    Strange, I'm running Photoshop CS on Win7 x64 Enterprise with no problems at all.
