did you actually reclaim the power in the badges?

Yeah, you have to claim it before you can use it, and it has to be claimed on each individual character.
What I want to know is:
Why does the O-Portal interrupt this power, and why the heck does it has such a long activation?

Rock, rock on Hamster.
Reclaiming it.
Looks like I didn't look proparly.
Thanks

Long activation I gather is to avoid using/abusing the power for "Oh crap" purposes. |

But, yeah, it's extremely annoying when I'm using either my mission porter or base porter, only to be interrupted halfway through by somebody dropping an O portal.
Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

The activation is the same for all of them, and it's long to minimize any potential effect in PvP.

This isn't recent. And it's terribly annoying. The interrupt range is HUNDREDS of feet.

Really? I've yet to run into that particular problem. Is it an every time bug or is it a random bug?

True this. It's not a recent bug, been around at least several months. I too have noticed an O portal some distance away will interrupt, it doesn't necessarily need to be right next to you, although I'm not sure what the min/max distance is that will cause the interrupt.

Not just PvP, I think - they're also long to prevent them being used as a "get out of a jam free" card in regular play. Same philosophy as the 30-second logout, though why anyone would go so far as to log out just to avoid being defeated by the Vahzilok (or whoever) is beyond me. |

I've been bugging it for a really long time now. I've pointed our new BugczArbiter Kim toward this:

Oohhhh yeah, I can't say as I've ever run across that situation.. mainly because if there's an O-portal nearby, it's because I'm about to use it |

Yep, this bug goes back to day one with the O-Zone.|

Well, yeah, but I think you'll find the problem there is that the Ouro portal doesn't conform to that design goal, rather than the other way around. (Maybe they figure that having to land the reticle someplace and then click on the portal is distraction enough if you're in the process of getting your face beaten in, I dunno.)

I suspected this was the case, but I could only personally vouch for the existence of the bug since January/2009 when I first noticed it. This was when I picked up the Mac pack with the Mission Teleporter, which I used frequently. |

Prior to that, I didn't use the Pocket D or Base Porter very much, so I guess simply didn't noticed the bug. But, once I started using the mish porter with much regularity, it wasn't long afterward that I noticed the annoying O-portal interrupt bug.

Which is my main point, Rod. It's MASSIVELY easier to use then the base tp and pocket d tp. And having it be able to INTERRUPT them as well?
That's just wrong. Morally! And you know how I feel about my morals.

Is there any reason this isn't being awarded anymore to people receiving there 24 month veteran reward badge?
I got mine yesterday, but didn't get the base warp power on any of my characters.
