    It definitely seems to be a "QoL" feature, but since I've been back (left in i12) I've had a hard time clicking doors, glowies, etc...
  2. Firstly, "Rerease Roderick"

    Secondly, I ran into this myself once I reactivated my main account. I too did the i12 padding w/ numerous temp accounts and ended up with LOTS of spam until I figured out that all I needed to do was to relog into the unused accounts and disable the newsletters. Now I only get the one.

    Note: I don't just want to move to another server. I want to move from one paid account to another.

    Possible? Or crazy dreaming?
    Been there, done that, give or take a handful of toon rerolls...

    I went from 2 accts down to one again and ran into the "crap I forgot about the toons" during the brief period of 2nd acct being still active. Go into the nearest costume place and save the file for later (hoping that the other acct has the options). Email your inf to a toon you own, store your on hand in base, and try not to cry. Create the character on the other acct to the point of choosing the name. Delete the toon on the original acct, take a breath, then name the new toon on 2nd acct. Now you can re-enjoy those (hopefully few) levels you just did on the toon.

    I can understand the whole saving money by having everybody on the one account initially, but really...you expected the kids to SHARE?!? What household do YOU live in? :-p

    /sarcasm
  4. I bet that if I HAD to play this in safe mode for whatever reason this new size would take up half the screen. >.<

    I was invited to a league tonite and all of a sudden a good fraction of my screen space was gone! This really irritated the hell out of me as you honestly can't get much bigger of a laptop screen than mine and I'm at the max rez for the screen as it is. Why do we have a separate team and league button when we can consolidate the league button to look like the team button? The LFG function is mildly confusing so I left it be. The 'new toon help' screen confused me too so now my main is likely screaming in some chat window I'm unaware of. Most of this wouldn't bug me if I had say a 21" screen, but really...why mess with the UI if you're not going to offer a full revert option?!?

    Thanks

    well considering that all the previously available slots (plus any newely available slots) are entirely locked, I don't see this suggestion being a problem to follow.... >.<

    If you mean cross-sides (B<-+->R) TP then I have some land in FL to sell you that'll net you money before this ever happens. Until they decide to make Praetorian's a third faction (IE: can get to 50 w/out the 'there's no place like home' @ 20 deal), then you're SOL. Besides, it's just as easy to use the P.D. transporter as the weigh-station anyway as it connects to all three aspects of the game.
  7. If it doesn't already, this needs its own thread and a PM to me when it is created/found :-p

    Been playing since 9-27-05 but new to the forums so I hope I am posting in the correct area. I am the Leader/Founder of OMEGA SECTOR (Ranked #1 on Justice) and I love the game! You guys have done a great job with all the recent enhancements and I thank you.

    I do however have some big concerns about the lack of attention that seems to be directed to SG's and bases however. It seems to me that people (customers) stay longer when part of a good, team oriented and active SG, though I have seen little improvement to this area over the pat 13 issues.

    Bases seem to play very little part these days short of a CoP, mine is the biggest plot available but is essentially a citadel of dust as far as our players our concerned. There is little reason for them to enter with ouroborous and other personal teleport devices. The market and vaults allow storage of items and most things in the bases do not directly affect a certain toons on- line life, when it should be a place to come together for a purpose.

    In addition I hope there are plans for SG leaders to create as many ranks as they would like and possibly make custom medals/badges for there SG mates. I understand such a system would most likely to be dictated by minimum requirments by the devs. I would also understand if the badges did not affect totals (on badge counts) much in the way SG badges do not.

    I also would like to see alternative uses for "Banked Prestige" such as special costumes, custome weapons, or even recipes so we can help our SG members become the builds they would like to be.

    I truly hope that you once again make SG's, their bases and their membership more important and much more relevant in game and follow the path of excellence that you brought in to Issue 19.

    Thank you for your time.
  8. +1 to this as there are just as many small groups as big ones that don't always have two players on at the time that someone makes a new toon. Some of us would like the option to have new toons in the group that gain prestige from day one.

    Also, demoting/promoting toons not online would be necessary as well (since you can't be on two characters at the same time from the same account).
  9. +100000 to Auto-base-rent function

    Make it an option in the Group Options screen!
  10. I'm going to be one of the first to say that the update was really annoying and unexpected and sure they should have given us some warning time, but I'd rather tighter security than someone in my gaming account messing with my toons or worse my payment info. Give them patience as 'it's only a game'.

    I was lucky enough to remember my security question, but that's because I made sure to pick something that wouldn't change over time or preference. IE: it's not my fav music group, etc. If you haven't already, then pick something like this for yours, but don't make it obvious enough that your mailman could guess it.

    Just a suggestion, but for my email accounts tied to activations, registrations, etc I have a 'Registrations' folder that holds all of the associated account information for cases such as these or say a reinstallation of that software when my system becomes unstable. Yeah so it doesn't help those that can't get in right away right now, but it's a good idea in general.
  11. Most definite speed improvement for both DL's and actual game startup. I love the consolidated interface.
  12. SG/VG Name: The Watcher Clan
    VG Creation Date: Issue 2-ish
    Coalitions: Voltanic Dragon, The Free Agents
    Nature of Coalitions: Seeing as how our base is fully equiped but you already have an SG, then feel free to ask for a Portal Use Coalition.

    Group Style: Casual, Small group of friends
    Group Activity Level: Minimal, Not for those looking to have large group events

    Public relations: @WanderingAries
    Leaders: Pyromethious, Violet Skull
    Peak teaming hours: Random, but mostly evening~early morning EST

    Amount of PvP: Mostly for badges, but it's not 'disallowed'
    Amount of Powerleveling: We're not likely to care, but each player's preference is different
    Amount of Drama: Unless you count /Sarcasm, then none

    Size of Base: Fully equiped and IO oriented.
    Requirements: Pay the rent if it's due? Prestige is optional, but helping the group earn base enhancing badges is Helpful!
    Voice Chat: We play with our fingers only.

    Group Motto: "From the shadows, we will guide the city into a better future."
    Group Description:
    "We are one of the older SG's and yet also one of the smallest. The source idea of The Watcher Clan is real. For those that can remember their past lives, The Watcher Clan was one of many, as comically introduced by Reme', in the southern states of the U.S.A. Other examples include the Celtic Clans of the east. Clan members are that of blood kin and should be treated as such. Because of this I require that only those you find worthy of this honor be allowed into our Clan.

    Clan Founder
    Pyromethious"
  13. Well thought out, but these sound alot more like FULL-AT's than just simply powerpools.

    Moon Hazard Zone

    I'm not even going to attempt to read ALL the replies, but...
    This was VERY well thought out and I'd love to see this.

    Being a casual gamer, I haven't really read most of the NPC backgrounds...but I'd love to see something like mishs or TF's on the rikti homeworld and such.

  15. SG Name: Evil Minds

    Public relations: Forceful Villians

    Peak teaming hours: Everyone seems to team at different times of day. I play mostly after work at night/est.

    Amount of PvP: Unknown, but at an individual level.

    Amount of Powerleveling: Ask for help if you wish.

    Amount of Drama: None from what I can tell

    Size of Base: We pay about 43k per time, but I'm pretty sure it's the smallest/next to smallest. We do have a quite elaborate setup that is more than fully functional.

    Requirements: Theoretically, we could go about a year before running out of prestige, but playing IN group mode is extremely helpful as to avoid the inevitable crunch.

    Other: Again, this is a VERY Casual group of players. We're here to enjoy the game and if we happen to get to team, then great! No pressure for anything, but please contribute when needed and/or as described in the MOTD.

    Guild Description: (to be updated)

    Leader or Recruiting Officers: While I inherited the leadership by default, I share ideas with the active members regularly and ask for feedback.

    Voice chat: Not sure what the others do/don't use, but I prefer the sound of my music/tv.

    Preferred Method of contact: Best way would be a global /t @wanderingaries and my co-leader (insert global)
  16. Ok, I somehow managed to be in control of two completely different groups of people. One because, well I created it, and the other because somebody took the summer off or changed servers. So here's the details split accordingly:

    SG Name: The Watcher Clan (circa i2-i3)

    Public relations: None really, but commonly used is PinnBadges

    Peak teaming hours: Everyone seems to team at different times of day. I play mostly after work at night/est.

    Amount of PvP: Unknown, but at an individual level.

    Amount of Powerleveling: Ask for help if you wish.

    Amount of Drama: None from what I can tell

    Size of Base: NO RENT! While still fully functional.

    Requirements: Play in group mode at your leasure. Never hurts, but badges are helpful.

    Other: Really, this is a VERY Casual group of players. We're here to enjoy the game and if we happen to get to team, then great! No pressure for anything, but please contribute when needed and/or as described in the MOTD.

    Guild Description: From the shadows, we will guide the city into a better future.

    Leader or Recruiting Officers: I colead truely, but I'm possibly easier to find.

    Voice chat: Not sure what the others do/don't use, but I prefer the sound of my music/tv.

    Preferred Method of contact: Best way would be a global /t @wanderingaries

  20. I've got a REAL update to make myself, but I agree, some of what is listed here is nolonger and I'd be willing to bet that there's a TON of new 1-acct groups running around :-p
  21. both my groups are active :-p...want in, let me know which side
  22. Better than having your chat window spammed so often that you can't talk to your own team!

    Try:
    TFpinnacle
    and
    PinnacleBadges or Pinnacle Badges (I forget if it has a space or not)

    Pinnacle Badges gets the most traffic although both are good for starting or searching for TFs
