  1. I will miss everything. Even the content I didn't like. I'd rather be able to grind and still be able to play the game than not grind at all
  2. I just tried ordering the XL but they are out. The only size left is medium. I won't be able to wear it but, but it will be nice to have.
  3. Hmm. I took a look at my billing summary and see that on the 19th (today) I was awarded the 550 points. In the past they have been awarded on the 8th of the month.

    And I see that my card on file is not a valid card any more. I'll have to contact customer support.

    Agreed. But I am amazed at what the players have accomplished so far. It's good to know that if it doesn't pan out, it was not without a fight!

    I think other people are moving others by mistake. I was moved further north. So we are not confused, just abused.

    I haven't checked this in awhile and was excited to see so many colors on the map. But then I noticed I was somehow moved from Southern CA up towards Sacremento. I'll let you know when I get to the Arctic Circle .

    I like your idea better than mine. I was thinking maybe too many were online with double XP going, making it harder to justify shutting the game down . . .
  8. Just glad I could take advantage. Would have been nice if it was perma, though.
  9. Nice! Wonder how long it will be going. Would be great to move some of my 40ish characters to 50.
  10. Hmm. I thought so, too, but was given a definitive "no" in the channels, so wrote it off as old age. Glad I'm not the only one .

    Shame I had to head off to work. Hopefully it will still be going when I get home.
  11. Let's just hope they live up to their Spirit.
  12. My hope is to see GG hit 100,000 posts in the next couple years. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the . . . tidbit.

    I'm the only Southern California player? Really?
  14. Anticipating the changes to Blasters, I was doing some modest flipping of ATOs. When I found out the end was near, I went ahead and put all the ATOs I had acquired up for sale, at my normal rates. Some pieces sold completely over night, and some won't budge. In fact the ones that won't budge were selling for less than half of what I bought them for, last time I looked.

    I plan to keep whatever assets I have in place. You can't take it with you, but I never had it in the first place. My characters will live on in Valhalla comfortably .

    VIP Status

    If you look at billing summary you should see an indication of when it ends, if it will truly end as some people have been reporting they were VIP after their subscription should have expired. But it was a holiday weekend, so who knows.
  16. I had just arrived home from a day at a local water park when I was told to call my oldest. He gave me the news. I looked up the details on the forums, and then kicked my youngest off the computer so I could log in. I had more globals online at that time than I had seen in awhile. Rotten end to a great day.

    If you looking at billing summary it gives you more detail. Mine is scheduled to re-up in April. I was a little bummed I might not get that money back. Didn't even think about those about to lose VIP that can't get it back for the end. Hopefully, as some have suggested, all accounts will go VIP towards the end.
  18. Hi all,

    I've been a mostly silent member of the Pinnacle community, posting here once in awhile, or on PinnBadges. My 7 year anniversary is in 2 weeks, and my very first character was on Pinnacle. And for 7 years Pinnacle has been my home server for my heroes. And I've loved every minute of it.

    I will miss this game and the Pinnacle Community. Fond memories of meeting new friends, the old Hami raids, even day one when I logged into this game, my first and only MMO, blown away by what I saw and heard

    Thanks for the memories all. Over the next few months I hope to make the best memories yet!

    I agree. Due to having younger children I have developed a habit of soloing more frequently than teaming. I have a hard time playing defenders, and only have two. I'm not forced to team as a defender, I just am forced to pick another AT .
  20. It's funny. When incarnate slots began I was burning through them on a good number of my 50s, most of them reaching tier 3 or higher.

    I've slowed down a bit but just recently got a tier 3 Judgement for a fairly newer 50. I was quite surprised that Judgement didn't apply a level shift. I assumed all slots did and capped at +3. Shows what happens when you don't pay attention.

    So yesterday I got my tier 3 on Destiny. Finally a level shift for this character. I ran a regular paper mish, +4 difficulty, and had convinced myself that it was running much smoother than before the shift. And just now I'm learning that in non-incarnate content, only the Alpha applies the level shift. I just need to slow down!
  21. My first gaming console was the Atari 2600, but did spend some time Colecovision and Vectrex machines owned by relatives.

    Going off topic here - I took computer science in college back in the early 80's, working with PL1, COBOL and Assembly. They started us out on using punch cards. How things have changed .
  23. My numbers:

    Acc/Dam - 5
    Acc/Dam/End - 9
    A/D/E/R - 10
    Proc - 6
    Dam/End/Rech - 7
    End/Rech - 3

    End/Rech seems to be hard to acquire for some.

    So THAT's where mine went. I've been luckier, but can't seem to get that one.
