To anyone having trouble installing, try re-installing .NET. Bothersome, but it worked for me.
-
You're right, they are back now. Sorry about the fuss.
-
Since the hotfix, all my e-mails have disappeared. I use my e-mail inbox as a sort of storage to send myself stuff, so this means I've lost a bunch of stuff. I could petition, but they will probably ask me what stuff I lost and I don't exactly have all that memorized.
Is this just me? -
And we're up.
-
Aww, give them a break. They are probably stressing out and panicking right now, doing their best to bring our game back.
-
So we never got an answer regarding why half the toons didn't get the Christmas Cheer power?
-
I feel like such a whiny jerk for asking, but I was really hoping for some server transfers. Is there any chance we will get some soon please?

I think I found a bug.
There is room for a limited number of objectives on a map. Only 40 glowies allowed for example. Also, some spawn points are shared by multiple objectives. For instance, maybe you can have 3 allies or 3 escorts, but you can't have 3 of each.
The strange thing is that this seems to change depending on what order you select them. Add 3 escorts and then you can't add an ally. But if you add the 3 allies first, you can also add the 3 escorts. The latter does add an error, but it still lets you add them. You shouldn't be able to add them, right?
If you want to reproduce this, try:
Map Type: Caves - Mausoleam to Caves
Map Length: Tiny
Map: Random
Try adding 3 defendable objects. You will find you can't add an ally. Delete those defendable objects and add 3 allies. Now you can add 6 defendable objects. -

People who want to see bonuses already have the tools at their disposal to see exactly what numbers they have. There is no other reason why you'd want to see somebody else's set bonuses down to the bare numbers unless it was to compare your character against theirs, or use it against them.
You don't need to see other player's numbers in different attributes. No point in trying to want it now, since we've all gone 10+ issues without being able to, and we didn't have problems.
There are only two reasons why information should be suppressed. 1) It violates someone's privacy 2) It could hurt someone. Any data that does not fit those two categories should be as open as possible and I can't understand why someone would advocate to hide data simply because they don't see that knowledge as necessary. -
Other people are seeing them though. When I mentioned this to some friends, they thought I was crazy.
-
I was talking to a friend about how odd it is that there hasn't been a single Praetorian event while I was online since i19 started, and she suprisingly informed me that they are happening once an hour. I'm not getting the Praetorian events in the chat window. I even tried adding it to a bunch of different tabs and it still doesn't show up.
I experimented with making one tab that has only the hero event messages, the villain event messages, and the Praetorian event messages. I left the game running for a few hours and that tab shows a bunch of Fire Alarms and Miner Strikes, but not one Praetorian event message in there.
Is this just me? -
Alrighty, I checked and it has indeed disappeared on the toons that changed or re-affirmed alignment. Ho hum. I guess I didn't notice before. The ones it's broken on are definitely the ones that should still have it, so there is nothing WAI going on here.
-
Awww, that sucks if it's really supposed to disappear. But I find it hard to beleive it's WAI when all it says now is "This is the First Visit String." Something is broken anyway.
-
I went to the effort of saving the Halloween tip on almost all my toons. I assume that we are supposed to be able to save it, since it remained after the Halloween event was over. Except with the i19 patch, it broke.
The pumpkin is gone and now has the usual clipboad symbol. Instead of "A Whispered Rumour," it's called "Halloween 2010 Contact." If I click the "Investigate" button, it just says "This is the First Visit String." There is no option to play it, only "Reconsider your options."
Will this be fixed? I really would like to be able to play it once on each toon before next Halloween.

I'm a little off the token topic, but staying with the respec one. Has the respec recipes been eliminated? I have personally never gotten this drop and never spoken to anyone that says they have.

Quote:There is nothing wrong with the software. All they have to do is change the session timeout. It would take them two seconds. For some reason they have decided not to. Maybe they thought it would be more secure to have a short timeout.Originally Posted by craggy
now, if only they could use some half-decent software for the forums so that it logged me in, and kept me logged in for more than 2minutes when I tick the Remember Me box.

So am I understanding this correctly in that the connection might be a little slower (for some of us in the EU at least), but since the server hardware will be faster it will sort of balance out? Maybe ITF and Rikti Raids won't be so bad?
Now what exactly is standing in the way of a merged server list? Was this the biggest concern that prevented it? -

What exactly is so unique about a piece of cloth rapped around the hips that the only place you could logic ever get it is by beating up some one who already has it? They probably aren't making the fabric themselves so why can't I just go to their supplier?

Quote:I'm with you, I think MA is the best part of the game (and it's an awesome game already!). I think the best way to focus the devs on MA is to use it, talk about it, and encourage others to do the same. The devs will put the most resources in the parts of the game that are the most popular. In other words, keep doing what you're doing.Originally Posted by Ramification TM
Anyway I'm just another person out here who one of the main reason they play COH is because of MA. I know Going Rogue is the focus these days but don't forget us architects!

Quote:I know, but I kind of feel that if you want to play a member of a canon group like that, you should have to work for it, a la epic archetypes. Still not fighting against what everyone else wants though, just stating my reasons for what I said.Originally Posted by ChakatStreak
Except that a lot of people want NPC pieces to play a rogue/reformed member of the villain group, in which case it would make more sense that they had that costume when they started their career.

Quote:That's actually part of the reason why I want NPC pieces to be unlockable. If you have a Carnie sash, for instance, it makes a lot more sense to me that you stole it (or maybe "confiscated" it if you're a hero) than if you just have it. Still, if everyone else hates the unlockables, I'm not going to fight for them.Originally Posted by SquidheadJax
I generally feel the same way about 'cape', but that unlock is integrated into the cultural mileu of the setting so as an RPer I'm more forgiving of that.
I do hope I'm not in the minority about wanting long skirts/robes, though. -
Okay, I guess I'm in the minority. Personally, I love the feeling of achievement. I could certainly do without it, though, if it's so hated by others.

Are you sure that there are no laws from other countries that would apply in the case of virtual rewards? Because to even answer that question, you would pretty much have to consult a specialist for every single country.

Quote:But those capes are available on female toons. It's just that female toons have to do the cape mission to get them whereas male toons get them from level 1.Originally Posted by Lothic
For some reason the Devs have chosen to allow various items be "male only" or female only" even when there's absolutely no reason for the given item to be exclusive to one gender or the other.
This "high collared" cape thing you're talking about might be a bug, but it's also possible they didn't even get around to making female sized versions of those capes. I wouldn't strictly call it WAI because it sucks that some items were not implemented, but it might not be appropriate to call it a "bug" either if those items never existed in the first place. -
Carnies, Carnies, Carnies, Carnies, Menders, and Carnies. Every Carnie costume piece please!
Also, NPC costume pieces are more fun when you have to unlock them.
Quote:I would consider NPC costume pieces to be #2 priority. #1 priority would be making all clothes (except maybe the bare chest) available to all genders.Originally Posted by Noble Savage
So in this thread, let's talk specifically about the possibility of reaching back into the COH archives and getting you those options. IF we decided to do that, what would be your top choices? Also, if given the choice, would you consider this a priority over, say, brand new costume sets, 'lost' costume pieces, and other alternatives? Feel free to weigh in.
A question: Is there any chance we will ever get long skirts/robes like the CoT have? I understand they cause some animation problems, but could we get them in some limited capacity, like the way widow costumes are limited?
P.S. I love what you've done so far, design team. Keep it up!
