Issue 18 & Going Rogue Patch Notes

Wish I could aford GR, but things are tight with me recently disabled 
A friend had to renew my account this month!
Questions:
1) They tend to hide base changes without announcing them, has anyone noticed any?
2) The Wentwroths thing...if I read that correctly, that 4 billion I had in my window is now gone???! My character alrady was maxed out on what he could carry. (finally done patching, can log in to check)
Quote:
If all items are returned, does that mean if I bought an IO, slotted it, but the seller has not claimed the money yet, my IO disappears???
Wentworth’s Consignment House and the Black Market now share inventories. Capitalism at its best.
|
Also, what if my character is maxed out on influence that he carries? What happens to the refund???? Is it history?

This makes me a happy happy happy panda. Yes..despite all the awesomeness in the GR and I18 patches and fixes and changes, the change to CM's animation made me the happiest. That 3 second animation was getting on my nerves to no damn end. And the increase in Hover's speed is almost equally awesome.|

And yes, I've yet to see any major bugs happen. I'm pleasantly very surprised by this.

ALSO:
Are the free server transfers also live now? ( I know the store is down atm)
Got on last night to take a look and i was so ready to go this morning i took off two days for this and deleted like ten toons and now it says toon slots that are open are unavailable which i am sooooo hoping will be fixed soon. For the hour i looked around last night it looked amazing.

If those are purchased or vet reward slots, they are probably down because hte store is down.

But don't let that stop you making trite one-liners or anything, I wouldn't expect anything more of you
Okay, my question is regarding the SG/VG leadership issue. If you change allinments and you're the leader of your SG/VG, you're demoted one rank. What happens if you're the sole person in your SG/VG? What happens? Do you lose your SG and base, and all the hard work and prestige you've put into it?

The bid will be marked as cancelled, but you won't be able to get the Inf back if it would take you over the cap - so it'll be stored on the cancelled bid until you have enough room to accept the Inf.|

For example, if you have 2 billion Inf, but were bidding on an item for 100 million, that bid will now be cancelled, but if you click on the cancel button, it will tell you you can't have the 100 million back yet because it'd take you over the cap.
So the easiest way to get everything back to normal is to bid for another one of the same item again, putting 100 million on it, which then takes your total to 1.9 billion, leaving space for you to get the 100 million back from the original cancelled bid.

The only 'canceled' items are ones that are listed for sale but not yet bought. So if you bought an IO and slotted it you still have the IO - the seller will still have a listing in the 'sold' window that shows the inf. However, if you had an item listed for sale that was not bought it will be moved to the 'sold' pane (I think - it won't show up in the 'listed' pane anymore) with the list price as a refund, not the sale prices.|

Basically they canceled all items still listed for SALE (not sold items) and refunded the listing price.

Anyone else having trouble finding the new Syndicate costume set or pieces? I've been going over things at the tailor and can't find anything.
Well, looks like I can't see all the live GR stuff until at least Friday. Because my convenient pre-paid cc takes 3-5 business days to complete loading the cash onto it. (My bank doesn't offer such a card so I had to go with this one - which I left nearly 20 years ago due to exessive fees and lousy customer service.)
What's even more frustrating was that on the bank's general help line, I was being told 2-3 business days, and I was told in-branch 24-48 hours. (Oh, but if I set up an account with them, I can get the funds transfered instantly onto the card. I left them 20 years ago because of lousy customer service, do you really think that this kind of runaround and conflicting information is going to make me want to set up another account with them?)
(And if anyone wants to know, it'll be at least 2 1/2 years before I can get a regular cc, because I had to declare bankruptsy over my student loans 4 1/2 years ago.)

I'm not sure what the turn around time is on one, but have you tried MoneyPak/greendot? It's gotta be faster than 2-3 days, and you can xfer funds directly into a paypal account for ease of use anywhere (and especially since you can't pay for CoH with a moneypak card).

I bought 10 extra character slots several weeks ago, and GR was pre-ordered almost as soon as it was available. However, the slots I've purchased in advance aren't redeemable while the store is down. |

Unless I miss my guess they are working that issue right now in order to make more money. I know I would if I was in their place.
Btw Perfect Pain, I love your avatar. I used to have a dog just like that as a kids. |
So assuming a problem discovered is just the fault of the people having it, and therefor not *really* a problem but some form of Karma isn't entirely true or helpful. However, the advice of patience is probably still the best advice, I'll readily admit.

I've been looking too, but not found them either. If anyone can clue us in, it'd be appreciated..

>> Blasters get Mastermind Patron Powers, and vice versa
This is messed up. A Mastermind is more Blastery than a Corruptor, those guys with actual blast sets and nuke powers? Really? No. Mastermind/Defender and Corruptor/Blaster, while still very imperfect, would have at least been more appropriate. While these new APPs were needed to fill what would have been an ugly gap, I hope (hope hope) we'll be seeing "Hero Patrons" soon for side parity and functional symmetry. My Masterminds shouldn't be forced to go Villain just because an area-immobilization power is very important to me.
The Shield Charge change also make very little difference, until and unless you reduce the absurd number of targets (16) to a more conventional number for a heavy/melee multiple-target attack (i.e., 5 or 10).
Most of the rest ... great stuff!

Can someone confirm that the people who preordered GR will not get the alpha and omega costume sets?
That's correct - they only come with the Complete Collection - but you can also get them as part of the GR item pack for $7.

$6.99 to be precise.

I looked around on several toons, old/new, male/female/huge, and didn't see a single Syndicate costume piece.
And I purchased the complete collection.
