I doubt it. There is already a problem where if you can randomly lose the ability to make EATs until you log in one of your level 50s (or level a new character up to 50 if you deleted them all) and I'm guessing the change in EATs is just a change to the number in whatever code handles them currently.

That makes sense, actually. I got thinking "what if I deleted all my 50's, would my crab go too?"

But as far as I know it doesn't keep a history of deleted characters, maybe I'm wrong though.

No way, we can move those through email too? Like just any attachment or just inf? (I figure just inf, since that was the only thing specified.)

I am SO happy they are revamping the Posi TF. I have only ever done it 3 times in 2+ years. It is horrible right now. Synpase TF is also brutal (and worse) so I hope that is next on the fix list. I am so happy they are actually paying some attention to us.

Lots of good stuff in i17. I think DEVS have to really look adding new wrinkles to any new content. We have tons of arcs etc. I hope anything added is unique and looks new and fresh. By that, I do also mean the mission maps. Stop recycling them SO MUCH!

I was really hoping CoX makes their own Nemesis system. It would be so cool to put in your own arch-enemy that everyone else can see/experience. Mission Architect is a cool system but it was just implemented poorly. Everyone I encounter uses it to farm. I look for mission teams but they are rare.

Anyway, I think the DEVS really have to realize any future content has to be innovative in order for this game to evolve. Adding in a new arc or missions is almost getting pointless... there is a ton of that already in game. Make future content fresh, innovative and new. After 6 years it...well...gets dull...

Unlikely, but can't be definative.

If you get to 50 now this sets the flag as available. Your level 35 would not have set that flag at the time he levelled to 20, which is why I think its unlikely.

The flag sometimes glitches, so its usually a good idea to keep a 50 (soon to be 20+) on the account to reset it if need be.

I'm pretty confident that the new one will be much better.
But I still hope we can do the old one via Orurobus.
I really dont find it as bad as forum legend makes it out to be.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

What about salvage stacks? Will stacks follow Auction House stack limits (10 items) or will they follow inventory limits (max stack size.)

On the other hand, this forum allows more swearing (eg piss) and more leeway with insults (you're an idiot) than many boards.

I kinda consider these forums to be pretty middle of the road compared to many corporate/company forums, and among the nicer amongst the gaming forums.

OK lets say I want to send 20 emails to a friend of mine. Thing is, this friend has received 10 Direct Character mails so at least one of his characters only has 10 spaces available.

I send 20 items to his global, and he is not logged in. What will happen? Will he get all 20 items if he logs in first with a character that has an empty inbox? What if he logs in with the character that only has 10 empty slots? Will it bounce at that point?

Yes. I want both. Bit I'm greeeeeeedy.

I like what I'm seeing here. Nothing overwhelming (unless you're a badger... then you're in heaven), but a lot of solid, and in some cases long-awaited fixes/changes.

Oh wait... forgot about Ultra Mode.

MUST HAVE NAO!!!

Are you kidding me? 20 unique maps (as in the current game now doesn't have them?) This is freaking AWESOME!

I just don't get the hordes of people first off that say they want new "dev created content" when we have this awesome tool at our disposal. To tell you the truth, many arcs in AE blow the "dev created ones" out of the water, you just need to go RUN THEM!

If you don't do them because you only like grinding purples, then please quit whining about wanting new content... you can grind purples wherever people.

20 new maps and GMs now..I can't wait to see the new content coming out of AE..we have endless good stuff there!
I think unique is a catergory for AE maps, S dont think the maps will be AE only, just 20 of the unique maps from the 'real' game brought into AE design.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

Because one byte has 8 bits and thus can have 7 different states (assuming the 0000 is reserved for no current missions) and still be the smallest unit of information. I think.

With the trading of inf and items amongst same faction toons through email, one can only hope that offline SG/VG invites through email are coming soon.

I pray we can customize our giant monster class NPCs in the Mission Architect. Otherwise, I find it kinda pointless

He just did, only he did it in Crayon.

Could you walk us through the steps to mail from one character on my account to another character on my account?

For instance, say that I send an item from one of my characters to another character that could use the IO.

Does the attachment immediately show up in the sending character's mailbox, because I'm sending it to my global name?

If I log onto yet another character instead of immediately logging into the recieving character, does that mean that this third charcter will get the item instead of the character I intended to send it to?

Does global in-game e-mail have a different e-mail box than e-mail directed to a specific character?
1. Logon RichHero
2. Send Awesomething to @Starchild
3. Note that you have new mail with Awesomething attached
4. Log off RichHero.
5. Log on PoorVillain.
6. Note you have Email with Awesomething attached.
7. Try to claim it greedy villain, go on I dare you.
8. No you cannot have item! You are villain!
9. Log on PoorHero.
10. Note you have Email with Awesomething attached.
11. Claim Awesomething.

I'm not going to go through all 30 characters.
So what happens if the boob (the hypothetical "boob") forgets or typos his global name and sends his much coveted PvP IO that he just spent 3 billion Inf on to someone else? Will there be a means to cancel or recall the email if the recipient (who hypothetically, unfortunately happens to exist) hasn't opened the email and/or claimed the attachment yet? If not, how will NCSoft Customer Support deal with the boob's desperate petitions?

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

CO has color customization that sucks, we got color customization that is totally awesome.

I imagine our animated tails will be was awesomer than CO's... if we go on the color thing as a judgement call...
Though I rather liked the animated tails in CO, I join you in almost certainty that our Devs will do them much better; the color superiority not withstanding.

Twenty mails of any kind of twenty mails with attachments?

Also, does the red 'Email' light still light up if there's anything in your inbox?

Thank you guys for your hard coding work!

Is that a joke lols, messing up your own global name is worse then messing up an influence transer threw the market(how people currently transer moneys betweens servers). Stupid is as stupid does mamma always said.
