Fixed it for ya.

Completely superfluous thought:
If they change the badges to read "Rocketman/Rocketwoman" and "Ironman/Ironwoman" based on character gender and then add the ability to change genders of the character, will the badge title change also?
[/ QUOTE ]
I guess they should change them to Rocketperson and Ironperson

You forgot the "arena PvP matches no longer give any rewards" patch note.

"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."

i15: bad aftertaste.
so looks like every time all my friends log on we will have to all stop what we are doing instead of just sending an invite and keep on moving. how annoying.
ah well...
at least those pesky temporary badges wont be bothering me anymore. those things were a slap in the face.
no base stuffies?
yay I guess.
edit: falling on deaf ears doesnt even begin to cover it.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
I don't care what anyone says. Escorts and pets showing up on the map ALONE makes this issue worth it for me. Ironically, I didn't see that in the patch notes.

I might be able to put something together. I only did the two for Kheldians because someone suggested it, and there was already animation/VFX there for shape-changing. VEATs don't have any sort of shape-changing powers to pull directly from.
[/ QUOTE ]
However, this might be the perfect time to point out that Dominators DO have the perfect shape changing power effect. (Although it's only a shape changing effect if you happen to have tied a costume change to it 
)

Has anyone besides me noticed the interesting new "defeat animation" on the Council Zenith Hoverbots?
Go check it out if you want a good laugh... I already bugged it, but more reports couldn't hurt.
[ QUOTE ]
Anyone else notice that the doors and footstep sounds in the AE building are different now?
edit: its not just AE building. But it seems footsteps and other sounds in general have been improved.
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't know about improved - they are definitely different. The new sounds for walking over rough terrain (like the cobblesteps/rough streets in mercy) make me think of a horse trotting on cobblestones - and since none of my characters are horses it is fairly annoying.
Globals: @Midnight Mystique/@Magik13
Was there an undocumented change PVP IO drop rates, or the whole drop system for them entirely changed ?
If so this should have been noted here, even if flagged as an exploit fix internally and wasn't in the test notes.

Hmm... Arachnos Sigil perhaps?
[/ QUOTE ]
The bip bip bip pressing buttons on your arm emote followed by the Arachnos Sigil going zoosh in a similar way to the Patron sigils when you activate a Patron armour power?
[/ QUOTE ]
i'd go with the bip bip bip buttons, but then i'd have a vertical Arachnos symbol the height of the character appear and rotate around the vertical axis with the costume changing in a flash as the rotation finished. *shrug*
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
NOTHING drops in pvp now..neither zones or arena..no inf, no salvage, no insp...idk about recipes..probably no recipes either...all i could get for kills was reputation..GJ Devs...now what do we get pvp IOs from? Roleplaying?????

[/ QUOTE ]
Tested and reported on already.
IIRC, the gender follows the gender of the first costume slot thoughout, i.e., if the first slot is Male or Huge, it's a "boy" title.
Perhaps I can find that thread down in the Training Room.

Line breaks in character descriptions now display correctly.
[/ QUOTE ]
The bio/ID description text is still acting funky when I paste from a text document. It isn't doing the normal line breaks like it used to.

Is this true? Can anyone confirm this? Not like a play PvP anyway, but on the off chance I might want to go there and try to get a PvP IO, I would really want this fixed.

Psionic Dart: Increased this power's damage scale from .6 to 1.32, increased its recharge from 6 seconds to 1.32 seconds and increased its endurance cost from 3.12 to 4.37.
[/ QUOTE ]
Shouldn't this read "...increased its recharge from 1.32 seconds to 6 seconds..."? Unless I'm just missing something.
maybe they meant reduced?

The Riechman SF is the longest, most difficult and yet extremely boring TF/SF I have ever ran. Took a preety good pug team 2 1/2 hours. The last mission took over an hour. I hope the big boss is bugged, cause that [censored] was crazy hard for 20 merits. Leading multiple NPCs thru a huge cave map is just annoying and the AV was like soloing a Pylon. Don't plan on EVER running this SF again.
Happy Anniversary! pffft...what a joke of an issue.
Zowie!
Now that's some serious release notage!
I love how the CoX updater still says "I15 in open beta!"

[/ QUOTE ]Yes...God forbid they actually put something in the game that's a *challenge*. 20 merits does sound low from what I've heard, but it's not as if that'll never change. Once they have a good idea of how long it's taking people to finish, they'll adjust as needed.
And if 2.5 hours is a long TF for you, I have to wonder what TFs you've done.

You clearly have never done a Quarterfield TF.
I would like to use this post as an opportunity to say PLEASE DEVS WHEN WILL YOU MAKE IT BETTER? ;_; (Also i15 is awesome. But seriously, take a look at Quarterfield. <_<
