I did.
Not that it's relevant to me. Still, I can understand how many people will skip it. If it's not on the first or last page there's always a better chance it gets missed. -
Quote:Eh same diff and um "Soon(tm)"Originally Posted by Asgardian_Blade
Any ETA on the copy tool? I want to check out a change for one of my 50s and I'd rather do it on Beta/test and not screw up my live build. I'd also like to check out the IO enhancers on a character I'm very familiar with to see if they're worth buying. It was on my to-do list during beta, but I never got around to actually trying those.
NOTE: I'd much rather problems on LIVE get fixed first, of course, I just don't want you to forget the copy tool in the mayhem of feeding the hamsters.
Edit: Well, should of posted this in the "Copy tool down?" thread but read this one first - oops. -

This isn't the tide coming in, this is more like an earthquake. Everyone knows it might happen, but not when. Paragon knew they were going to do the wipe and, since its not a exploit issue, we should have gotten a heads up.

Quote:Yeah I had thought about the non-VIP lockout, but there's got to be a better way. I mean what happens if the red star is the only sub, goes on vaca/quits/whatever, and leaves the SG full of preems? After about a month or so they'll be in the dark falling over salvage looking for their lost shaker of salt...Originally Posted by Impish Kat
This.
Also, it is mentioned in the ginormous i21 patch notes that only VIPs will be able to "edit" bases. I'm wondering if the devs have a different definition of "edit" than the players do: Dev "edit" = SG registrar, Player "edit" = futzing around in the base editor. It was brought up in open beta, but the question was never officially clarified. -
Are you sure it was fully downloaded when you swapped to windows? IE: not just partially trickle downloaded? With Lion having just been let out of the cage there are surely going to be issues as it's a bit of a design change, but luckily not at the base level. There's alot of behind the scenes code in the OS that could be acting sorta like a firewall to the game, corrupting the install. Either way I'd support it and see what happens and post what you had to do to get it to work (not the contents of your support email or you'll get mod-smacked).

Quote:Huh, never thought about that...I guess it likely triggers the hidden idle counter then...Originally Posted by Father Xmas
Yes it's better. People have noticed the background session will likely map serve if it's not allowed to render something.
EDIT: If anybody's curious, even with the added command I still have to lower my GFX to dual box (not that I do often), but it makes toggling less of a stutter. -
Quote:Did nobody read my (or any of the other time-spent) breakdown on what this should mean for us annual/prepaid subs?Originally Posted by Assisace
Holy... I have to wait until Feb 28, 2012 to get ANY of my Paragon Points?!
And I have literally no idea when I should expect a new Reward Token, and apparently I should check for myself to see if I have all of the ones I should have had initially. How fun, it feels like I'm at a shady mechanic's place and I have to watch him to make sure he does the work he charged me for. Sweet. Thanks. -
Quote:You should get whatever perks are included w/ the box, the included month sub tacked onto your acct, the token (end of month), and stipend I believe. IE: I wouldn't buy anything that should be included in the box from market just yet. What people are saying that you don't get is the extra token for purchasing the box unless you've Never previously purchased a boxed product before. *awaits correction*Originally Posted by St_Angelius
reading some posts here has brought a question up for me. People are saying that free time for retail codes aren't awarded PP or PRT, is this correct or have they got it wrong?
I asked as i have a CoV:CE box comming (new of course) as I want the arachnos cape and chest symbols. Will i get the Points and tokens along with the free time? I know my free time for CoH delux and GvE additions have counted to my current awarded tokens, but how will this new retail code affect my VIP perks? -

From what I am understanding :
Transfer Tokens : The things that Move People[LIST]
There's got to be some sort of conversion for this like X number of xfers = Y number of slot tokens, etc. It feels like that bloody extra "FREE mobile security software" that my cellphone provider added to my mandatory phone insurance plan After they raised it by $2-$3 because of said bonus with no way to go back. -

Now I have to ask, how are people getting 42 tokens when Freedom launched?

Quote:I would guess the latter myselfOriginally Posted by terrible_deli
It will be rotated out.
From what I gather, everyone will get an opportunity to get the sets. But the staff wants those who earn it now, a window of exclusivity.
What isn't clear is if that means 1) it'll show up again as a VIP reward or 2) it'll show up on the Paragon Store. -
Quote:Is this better than using the "-stopinactivedisplay 1" command? And I'm assuming you mean putting this in the Properties section of the game in the launcher right?Originally Posted by Aramar
Also adding -maxinactivefps 5
(or 15, or whatever you want) tends to help with system resources. -
Besides the whole "businesses exist to make money" thing, why is it that Premiums have been locked out from the advanced base options? Not that paying your rent should be considered advanced, but still. I figured that creating/editing a base was going to be VIP only, but rent?

Quote:I hope so as the one Good thing about the new system is that I don't have a million copies of them in the base menus after hitting the claim button a few times.Originally Posted by Synapse
There's a fix for this in the works. You'll likely see it in issue 21.5. Instead of needing to claim base items multiple times you'll only need to claim them once. Then you can place the items an infinite number of times.
Synapse
My gripe, however, is that when it comes to claiming the VR powers (some have bonus, some don't) you can accidentally click the non-bonus power too easy because unless you manually click each item to claim you may not be aware that the next claim-power window will have the bonus version of that power. This system needs some tweaking for sure as it did away with the ability to dismiss the "claim reward at a later date" option. Being able to hide/delete individual rewards would also be good on a per-toon basis. -

Now that we have to buy powersets, could we at least see what the powersets do statistically before we buy them?

Quote:I have the same type of plan as you and this is what I've gathered from various threads so far.Originally Posted by Vitaee
Ok, this doesn't seem clear in this thread, but if I have an ANNUAL sub that is set to renew on April 23, 2012, do I have a few months to wait till I get a boat load of points, or will I get a regular monthly allotment on October 23rd??
1) Your renew date is your billing date, IE: that's the day before you get awarded stuff;
2) Nomatter how far in advanced you pay, you still get the standard allotment give or take how many Tiers you've climbed. IE: Tier 8+ get extra pts;
3) Tokens follow the old VR schedule and are based on the original signon date for that account and accumulate based on the total amount of time paid to the current calendar date. Being rewarded at the End of the cycle it feels like you'll be one month behind, but it's kinda like a Layaway program where you don't get the goods until you're paid in full;
The above OP's posting is trying to clarify that because of everybody's various signon dates, etc it is going to take a couple months to get everyone on the same cycle. This will likely be finalized by year's end. -

So awesome. I can't wait to get it!
The hilarious thing is that I have 790 points. -
Another troubleshooting thought...
I did try this using Google Chrome and IE7 with all of my security features intact including popup blockers, ad blockers, etc. Since this is a Flash object, then you may want to right click the object and make sure that you aren't somehow disabling it that way. There is an internal update function in the Flash settings using the right click if perhaps you just don't have the newest version (but I dont' think that's an issue). -
I just ran a test:
I'm a US account holder on two accounts. I used my code on my main and it went through (yeah me I know :-/). I pasted the same into my 2nd account and it tells me the code has already been used, which I know because I just used it. I went back to the FB page and clicked the "International"/EU flags (making their background turn red) and toggled the code. I copied That code and pasted it into my account and got this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can't use the supplied serial code.
The supplied serial code is valid, but it can not be used to create a new account and it can not be applied to any accounts you already have.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Hope that this is possibly some of the people's problems on here, but to reitterate make sure that you have the correct flags highlighted and that the code's subtitle states your region (US/International). -
Quote:Just remember, there can be only one...code per account. ;-)Originally Posted by DarkGob
Shouldn't it be "The Facepalmening"? The answer is yes.
OP, I get a 404 and link to this: http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/contests_promos/ when trying to click the "terms and conditions" link embedded in the image btw. -
Quote:It shouldn't be case sensitive, but it does show up as upper case on the page. The code page is an Adobe Flash object so make sure that you have that unblocked/enabled in your browser. Additionally, there are two types of codes, US and International. Check to make sure that you're grabbing the right code for the Region your game account is set to. The code Never changes for the FB account you're logged into so if you accidentally close the browser, but had copied the code first, then don't worry about what's sitting in your clipboard as it'll be the same if you reopenned the browser and copied it again.Originally Posted by Prof_Radburn
Is the code case sensitive as I have tried it lower case with and without the hyphens but still get the invalid message
also as you see it so in uppercase as well -
Quote:Just to reitterate that the code is more than likely tied to your FB cookies so worst case log out of FB, clear your internet cache fully, close the browser, relog into FB, and try again.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
As Beastyle said, if you are getting the message that the code has already been claimed, it's due to you having applied it on another account previously. Cookies, temp files, something in the cache is set to give you the same code of you've already gotten on.
That being said, there are ways to get around this so that you can get a valid code for a second account.
But I'm not saying what it is for fear of the OCR team playing ping-pong with my forum account and me losing posting priveleges.
I didn't even Have to hit the like button, I just went to the page, clicked the link on the left, and a code popped up.
EDIT: I wasn't thinking about it, but the Like button it's talking about is the City of Heroes FB page, but if you'd already liked the page before, then there's no reason to unlike/relike it. -
depending on your specs you may end up having to lower your visual settings some when trying to dual box. if you find that your screen goes black (except for UI), gets laggy, and essentially unplayable; then drop to the deskop, relog on a single instance, lower the settings, load the 2nd instance, etc until it's stable for you.
