User Interface
<ul type="square">[*] Changed the color of Patrol XP in the Experience Window to be more visible for our colorblind users.[/list]Thanks! It made a very clear difference to me. 
[/ QUOTE ]
Not colorblind but I'm glad to see this changed for those that are.
the hami farms were fun, and eventually something else will be farmed, it is inevitable.
So glad my bots can dance again! e/petcom_all Dance!!!!
Any word for a fix on the STF bug?
I imagine it's coming. Remember this build was on test prior to the STF bug being noticed by the devs IIRC.
[ QUOTE ]
If you PvP on a low pop server and the drops are that rare than no one will have the PvP IO on the low pop server and there will not be any balance issues. I can see the main reason people farmed them in the arena is to sell them for outrageous prices on the market.
[/ QUOTE ]
The markets are shared between servers. and this change will make the prices skyrocket.

Fixed PvP rewards to function once again. Now, influence, inspirations, and other normal rewards occur on every PvP kill, while PvP IO recipes can only be rewarded on rep-valid kills.
[/ QUOTE ]
.. And the Fusion Generator become possible again :-)
[/ QUOTE ]
It wasn't? My sg went ti a secluded area and just smacked each other 750 times, and save a few people trying to give us a hard time by griefing us, we got it in maybe an hour?

You're not doing much to prove the pvp-ers point wrong about pve players not really wanting to pvp, but wanting it to be ezmode when they do.

Let me make sure I heard that right. Did you tell me to not post my opinions on a subject matter on a board / thread involving such a topic?
On whose authority did you do this?
Now, to your other points, If you can't transfer due to ten bucks a character, perhaps you should accept your fate? o.0 To what end is your post, simply venting?
Thanks much!

ok let me slow it down for you.

No I plainly told you to keep your suggestions about where i play to your self. My server choice is none of your concern.
and now this one.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ok lets do a little math, Currently I have 2 accounts. On account #1 I have 19 character slots on pinnacle(bought 5 and vet rewards claimed on pinnacle) of those 19 i have 12 that are level 50 fully slotted with i/o's that's 120$ so far.
On account #2 i only have 14 slots and only 8 of those are level 50 and slotted out. so theres another 80$. Now to move these characters i would on my main account have to buy extra slots to fit them not to mention leave behind a fully built sg base with 60 million prestige built up. All because the devs made a bonehead,stupid, idiotic, hamfisted decision to stop people from farming recipees. (Some of you may think that is too harsh. I don't think so. THEY NEED TO FIX this in a way that doesn't hurt the smaller servers.
Who says you HAVE to transfer EVERY character you have? Oops, there I go, telling you how you have to play. Sorry.
switching to freedom should not be the solution to a problem such as this. I have a level 50 pvp toon on freedom. freedom lags too bad for me to enjoy the game play. All I want is a fair chance to get the same thing people on freedom receive. screw anybody who says i need to move to freedom to get it .

Freedom's a horrible server anyhow. Its hardly a solution to tell people "omg, just leave the server you like to satusfy a gameplay type that the devs fail utterly at"

So if your that dug in, why would you be complaining? Enjoy what you have ^_^ Unless these things don't mean anything to you, in which case, you can switch. Seems fairly cut and dry. o.o;
Your just awfully cranky it sounds. Perhaps a few deep breaths would do you good

[/ QUOTE ]
If their server is the problem, perhaps they should leave was the advice in a nutshell, if it's not the server, then it's the person, unless there's a third party to blame (usually people will blame the devs :P)

except in this case, the devs made a stupid change. So yes, blaming the devs is appropriate.

[/ QUOTE ]
From everything I've been seeing about the "pvpers" open mindedness about anything, even proving to them with scientific facts might not be enough. They are set in their ways, the moment the devs do anything thats a "Change" they go nuts, but when WE complain about something, they are like "lawl new faces" or something to the equal.
Granted there are a few that listen, but not many.
As far as EZ mode? Why should I be crippled in order to advance my SG's base power supply? I HAVE to go into those zones in order to get the next power station. No if's ands or buts. but they don't HAVE to come to ours for anything except the market generally.
I see no balance o.o

The devs tend to make changes based on data, not just throwing a dart. Perhaps if someone messaged a dev instead of calling them out into the open like some sort of BARFIGHT, you'd get a better response? o.0

Can you say...Whack-a-Mole?
Okay, now for a real post. I love the new Patrol XP color. For some reason it's more visible to me, so maybe I have a blue deficiency or something.
Secondly, YAY SUPERSCIENCE!
Thirdly, maybe I hadn't noticed it before but now footstep noises are even more diversified. I was running through a council base and the footsteps sounded crisp, clear, and unique depending on my running surface. A great, subtle, wonderful change in audio.
Finally, thank you for fixing the exploding drones. The generated clutter really bogged down my machine sometimes.

Removed Mending Mitochondria from Devouring Earth enemy group.
[/ QUOTE ]
I would have preferred they merely be stripped down to zero or near-zero XP and left in, but it doesn't affect me personally.
Any chance of giving us a rough count of how many characters have been or are about to be deleted for exploiting this? This exploit ran wild for a long, long time, the number of people abusing the heck out of it can't be very small.
[ QUOTE ]
When creating a Custom Boss and choosing the Same as Boss setting, the accompanying mobs will be the default Villain group of the mission in general. To circumvent this issue, you can use the Custom Tab for the accompanying mobs, and select the Custom group that the Custom Boss is in.
[/ QUOTE ]
How is that news when it has been happening off and on since MA was put in? You're better off just explicitly defining the enemy group for every boss detail anyway since they breaks, gets fixed, breaks, gets fixed, breaks...
No accounts were banned. As with every MMO the motto to run with is "Exploit early, exploit often!"

This was done by several, when it first hit test. to have it pushed through without so much of an explanation tells me they are either blind and cannot read brail, or do not care about pvp on any server except freedom. and these things were also said in a thread where babs was first learning about the stf bug.

<ul type="square">[*]Kheldians in Dwarf form should be able to utilize emotes again.[/list]
[/ QUOTE ]
Nice to have the emotes back, but now it appears the run animation for Dwarf form is bugged. After transformation and for about 20-30 seconds, the toon just slides with no animation what-so-ever. After that, the run animation kicks in. Also this doesn't seem to happen 100% of the time, but my guess would be between 75-90%. (Sorry for generalizations, but I'm lousy at statistics.)
