Quote:This didn't work for me either.Originally Posted by Skyster
Just run or fly far enough away that they teleport to catch up, then after that, they should be following you.
It happened again just now after I zoned to Creys Folly.
I went all the way to the far end of CF, (a long zone), and around the perimeter and back to the gate.
and they stood there at the gate through my whole journey.
(/releasepets did work this time...
but the problem returned the next time we zoned.)
One possible clue to the problem....
I had no problems today,
until our leader left the team, changing our level,
and all the pets did an auto-dismiss.
After that, I have had the problem every time I zone with them.

Quote:I have tried this.. I dismissed (AFTER I had moved a distance away from the minions), logged out to desktop, logged in again on another alt, logged off, logged in again on my MM . . .Originally Posted by Marsha_Mallow
. . . Just curious, have you tried to move away from where your pets get stuck before you logout? This should respawn them right where you are and not where they got stuck at. Just a thought.
And I was still standing in the new spot,
But so were my thugs.
And they still would not move from the spot.
Actually, that is quite different from the old way.Quote:Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
Easy workaround:
When you finish a mission, type "petcom_all dismiss".
Exit.
Enter a new mission, and resummon.
That's how we used to do it in the old days; did everyone forget?
Back in the '0xs, I almost NEVER dismissed my pets.
They almost always disappeared before I would ever want to dismiss.
The old way was simply one rule:
Have I lost minions? . . .
OK, then . . . resummon them.

I remember standing in line for the first "Die Hard".

I just KNEW that the "Moonlighting" Bruce Willis guy,

I don't see my pvp fixes on there.
But the zany devs don't realize that this should be a wishlist showing things people hope get fixed this time.
Those devs, they have the loony impression that Patch Notes should be lists of actual fixes, and nerfs that the current patch actually changed.
Crazy, huh?

why cant u use super speed to walk on water or on walls, i think we should be able to go to our options and set if u would like to walk up walls/water with super speed pls reply soon this has been bugging me for a long time
- Because you would sink, especially if you slow down, or stop.
- Because you would either fall, or bounce away from the wall when you take a step.
- Because you are not playing a game where breaking these physics is considered important.
Maybe you want to look around for one that does.

Quote:Interesting question. I know it is one of the stereotypical images that comes up with thoughts of the British.Originally Posted by Zikar
Ugh... are we really that well know for fox hunting abroad?
So ... Let's ask the vital question...
Is fox hunting a sport that some people in England still participate in?
or Polo, or Cricket?
If so, then yes, it is probably fair to use that.
Even if you, or most people don't participate.
If we mentioned BullFighting or running with the bulls, there are certain countries that come to mind.
I have participated in forms of (American)Football, and Baseball.
I have never come close to being involved in even one Rodeo.
But it does bring our country to mind when any of those 3 sports are mentioned.
Sports that happen in particular countries, and not so much elsewhere?
Yup. The image tends to get applied.

Quote:It does,Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
"Temporarily unavailable" does imply that they intend to restore it.
and they did.
I want to compliment all of us for not going off the deep end.
Yes, we know that Test is Test, and we have been warned that we could lose anything or everything at any moment.....
But still, it was good to see how politely and calmly we took the prospect, when it looked like it had happened.
GJ all !

What I really want is a beserker, which I suggested as a powerset a while back. Auto go boom power upon death, generic self rez, and a godmode like no other... invulnerable for a time but a self kill crash.
Fire/fire will have to do.
It's always a woman that causes all the trouble!

We really had a nice base,good people, and shared it with anyone.
We have hope of a restore?
They have done this before with TR2,
But , Oh well.

I've yet to see a convincing argument that it would be. Who'd know the difference?
- As was suggested before, check the Eleventy-Billion other times this dead horse has been drug out.
- VRs are indeed, rewards for people who have actually put in the time. Not for people who just want it Nao!
- But the REAL PURPOSE of VRs, is a system of carrots every 3 months to entice the playerbase to stay subscribed.
- VRs keep us from quitting... ("I have VR x to look forward to in a few months!")
- VRs keep us from taking a break from subscribing. ("If I take a break, I will delay the time to getting VR x.")
- Enticements, . . . Rewards . . . Not gamebreaking rewards... But attractive ones.
- Buying them ahead of time, or cherry-picking just the ones you want, breaks the purpose the devs have for putting VRs in the game.
- EVERYONE is a veteran. EVERYONE will get exactly one more VR in the next 3 months. . . at the same chronological point that everyone else in the game got that reward, or the same point everyone else will get it.
- Most importantly, VRs are the ONLY perfectly fair reward in the game. You can't cheat or powerlevel, or manipulate, or buy VRs. (I can expand on this more if you need.)
- You are trying to cheat on the only perfectly fair rewards in the game. Stop it.

Maybe up to 48.
Payment takes effect immediately for your Live account.
But filters slowly over to the test servers.
This also applies to expansion packs etc, that you buy from the store.

Quote:Step one here is where your problem occurs.Originally Posted by chriz2ferx
. . . A purple Hecatomb pattern drops, and it goes to PlayerB
- You are assuming that as a team plays, that the game constantly does random rolls to test whether an item appears.
- Making that assumption, you think the game then needs to figure out what to do with that item which appears.
Instead, what is happening, is that- as a team plays, there are constant random rolls for each player for whether an item could appear in that players inventory.
- IF the roll allows that something could appear in the players inventory, but the inventory is full, then the appearance of that item just does not happen.
- Even though the possibility level is reached, the item never appears, because there is no slot for the item to appear in.
An item does not appear to the group.
The threshold for the possibility of an item to appear to a player occurs.
If that player has room for that item, the possibility becomes reality.

Quote:There ya go!Originally Posted by Miakis
I just wish I could have the option to skip the rewards I don't want. I'm never going to use the greek letters for example.
Yup.. You already have that ability! Gratz!- I too, skip the greek letters.
- I skip the Kilt too. Almost used it once, but no. I have skipped it
- I DID use the prestige sprints once, but that was a mistake. I hated 6 more powers cluttering up my list and slotting screen. - - -Skippped forever more!
- I don't think I have ever used all my respecs or costume changes!
And the ones you DO want? They will stay out there, where they are intended... sitting there in the future as a little non game breaking carrots, to keep you anticipating and paying and playing!
That is the real purpose of VRs!

Quote:Stop now.Originally Posted by NightErrant
. . .So... I offer a suggestion. ...
You are trying to mess up the ONLY completely equal and fair set of rewards in the game.
I have several very long very complete answers to this dead horse, which has been brought up in almost this exact same idea almost every time before.
I will skip the whole long answer if you just quit pushing it now.
But VRs are the ONLY perfectly fair reward in the game.
- Each player gets exactly one set of VRs every 3 months.
- Each player gets exactly the same reward at the same point(length of service) in their career. When you reach MonthX, YOU get the exact same reward every other player got/gets/will get, when THEY hit monthX.
- You cannot PL to get VRs.
- You cannot cheat to get VRs.
- You cannot throw RL money at the game to get VRs. (VRs do not care how rich you are.)
- You cannot manipulate the game to get VRs ahead or out of order compared to what all the other players get.
- All you have to do is pay, and wait. (You don't even have to play.. just wait.) and every 3 months, you get another carrot to keep you playing longer. The same carrot as everyone else at your length of service.
Quit trying to mess up the ONLY perfectly fair set of rewards in the game.
More later if you still need more.

No, you are right.
We do not absolutely need a Healer
We do not absolutely need a Tanker
We do not absolutely need a Scrapper
We do not absolutely need a .... etc.
Some people don't realize that with any reasonable AT mix, adjusting tactics can usually work well.
Enlighten them, ignore them, or don't team with them.
But we don't need to stir up another round of people who start coming here to campaign with over-exagerrated Rants of Anti-Healorz NerdRage.
A while back we had those threads started up every few days.
There were a vocal few who would violently shout about Healorz people all the time.
I had hoped we had mellowed and matured past that.
I guess a little tantrum every few months can be tolerated.
But I hope we can keep this mellow as it has been for a while.
Realize that,
We will occasionally run into people who still think they NEED a 'healer'.
We will occasionally run into people who HATE anyone they think of as a healers.
It is best just to ignore both extremes, and go our way without paying attention to them.

Quote:At 58, I am right there behind ya, and most of your description fits me tooOriginally Posted by Galactic_Hobo
Curious if there are other old farts out there like me.
I am 60 years old, and have loved comics and superheroes since I read my first Superman comic during the Silver Age in the 1950s and watched George Reeves on TV. And in the 60s, I got to see comics evolve firsthand as Stan Lee brought "real" people into the mix. All in color. All for a dime.
Other than a lifelong love affair with comics (and Star Trek, Sci-Fi and Comic Book movies), I have lived a "regular" life. College-educated. Married. Good family life. Terrific white-collar job.
Anyone else out there like me?
I have met quite a few others in game in our range, too.

Yes, That can get old.

The little guy - horns straight to the side.
big guy with tusks or horns downward from the side of the head.
big guy with horns upward from the head.
The bigger ones all have shorter horns coming up out of their shoulder blades.
I don't see 2 of either of the bigger types in scene at the same time to tell us which is the tier 2.

. . .I'm surprised you haven't been heavily flamed, as that's the usual forum response to this question. Maybe it's early and your thread hasn't been discovered yet.
. . .- OP came in and was courteous.
- Said he is fond of CoX.
- Mentioned it seemed quieter and wondered why.
- and was just looking for more input.
- We all were glad to help.
You were confusing that type of question with the people who come in declaring DOOOM!, and predicting CoX death!
They say:
"No one is on!
CoX is DOOM'd, dying!!!!
I can't get a team!!!"
People who come in trolling and crying death and DOOOM!, get the same.
People who come asking friendly questions, and asking for advice ... get that.
WELCOME BACK, returnees!
