Quote:I had that problem too. So, I uninstalled the old and d/l'd the new and installed that with no problems.YAY!
Just one question...do we have to uninstall the old one? I seem to be having problems getting the update to work.
I'd back up your saved builds first, or preferably, move them to a different folder so that an uninstall or a fresh install will never accidentally delete them. Once installed, I set the options to point to the directory bath where the builds are located. -
Did someone say Huge Model Females?

Quote:Great work! Thanks!For the first time ever, Titan Network is pleased to bring you a Mids' update on the same day as it's issue release.
Get it here.
(Now, update your download page to say it's I17 compliant. It still says I16 compliant.
)

I hope the Patch Notes are complete. But if Beta is any indication, they don't have their act together for a comprehensive Patch Notes that includes *all* the changes.Quote:Yes, there is usually a patch notes list even with new Issues that lists all the goodies included.
So, go the link in my sig below for the complete list of everything new in I17. -
Quote:You can ask the Mods to start official feedback/request/bug threads for specific things you want to know about and ask the Mods to.. um... *moderate* those threads so that they don't devolve into lengthy discussions you don't have time to wade through. Just a simple post with a bug/request/feedback and then let it go. We had that with JLove for the Official Costume Request Thread and Official Costume Bug Report thread. And BAB had such a thing for the Official Weapon Request thread.Being relatively new to the Art Lead post, though, I'm still in the process of getting an overall read on costume/character requests. I get PMs all the time asking for one thing or another, and the requests are all over the map as you might expect. GOING ROGUE and the next Super Booster will fill at least two major categories, but after that we'll just have to see.

And while you're looking at bugs, check out the problem with capes here. The solution is more than just finding missing artwork, it requires a Staff Decision about special cape availability from level 1. -
I searched around and thought there would be more squeeing about this upcoming change and not just a passing mention, but the file size limit for an arc is being doubled from 100k to 200k.

If that's still the case after the new patch tomorrow, send in a bug report, though, I'm willing to bet a reboot fixes it right now.

Quote:PM TheOcho and see if he can forward this to Blue Steel or who ever's handling server engineering there nowadays.I need some help with a college project. I'm an I.T. Student. I've got a Disaster Recovery class this quarter. Our imaginary company that we're developing an plan for is going to be a game design company similar to Paragon Studios.
I also got the role of the head of the I.T. department for the company (development and internal support - there are only 6 of us on the project team). To get to the point, we're still in the early phases here, and I'm supposed to find out what size teams we need for development and production, as well as support.
Any information you could give me there would be great. Nothing that would compromise your company's security in any way, of course. Then again, if you want to email me Paragon Studios complete disaster recovery plan I won't complain, lol. Seriously though, I'm more looking for what size a development team needs to be to be practical, same with support staff and number of servers without going into specifications. What you feel could realistically be outsourced too. One of the guys on the team that has facilities wants to outsource the artists & storyboard people for example. That seems to present a strong risk of corporate espionage to me.
Hope you can give me a hand and shoot me a Private Message. -
Quote:Nice.
It's not too bad, but due to my widescreen monitor, I was one row short for his hair. There's supposed to be a little spike up there...
Note that in Excel, CTRL+MOUSEWHEEL will magnify or shrink the 'spreadsheet' just like in a browser. That way, you can see the whole 'spreadsheet' at once. Just an FYI. -

Quote:That test server's got an identity problem!Apparently, it went from TR to Freedom to Protector, and back to TR.

Well, glad it's back to 'normal.' -
It was a dream!
Also note: If you plan on attending the dev Meet-and-Greet on Wednesday in the Training Room, remember that Training Room is now a copy of Freedom. So, if you don't have a Freedom PC, better copy a toon over to the TR now. -
Help your fellow players in your channel or super group to the most up to date info on Issue 17 being released on Wednesday, April 28 by putting the I17 Wiki page URL in your MOTD:
paragonwiki.com/wiki/i17
We (that means all of you, too) will keep that page up to date with all the links to any last minute announcements or changes. That page has a complete summary of and comprehensive list of all the patch notes thus far (including stuff that doesn't make it to the patch notes, but should). Any information it doesn't have, it will have a link to get there.
"Where's the new contacts?"
"paragonwiki.com/wiki/I17"
"How much Merits are the new Posi's worth?"
"paragonwiki.com/wiki/I17"
"What's ultra mode?"
"paragonwiki.com/wiki/I17"
"where are the new badges?" etc.... -
Quote:It's not part of I17. At least, it's been in no patch notes and no one has found it.This particular bit of info does not, however identify this upcoming feature as definitively being part of either I17 OR GR as some of the items in that "Misc Info" section do. So, while it is confirmed by Herocon attendees that it is an upcoming feature, nobody has said exactly when.
We can only speculate that it will come with I17 - but it might not... unless someone has seen something from the devs that specifies that.
Storm
So... GR it is. -
Quote:Nope. That was when they forgot to give us warning, as they promised to do, and so, gave out another round. Otherwise, the free respecs that come traditionally (but not necessarily) with new issues is a one time gifting.Don't they tend to now give a free respec on issue release, then a few days/weeks later, give out another?

Quote:I would still like to see 'manly' girl villains; utilizing costume piece ports from what's available in male costume selection, like: cigars, kilts (with bag), tattoos, all the male hats, etc (not sure about the facial hair though
)Pro-tip: We've been down this route before. Between Jay and Posi, there was a clear line between how we dress up boys v. girls. (Though, not as bad as it was under Statesman.)Quote:Hats are tricky. Some of the other stuff might be possible though.
Better get War Witch on your side first with this before bringing it up to the whole staff. Many of us are all for unisexing all the costume pieces. Not so Paragon Studios staff. Get ready for a fight. -
The difference is the addictive and mind-altering nature of the controlled substances.
If it makes you strong with no other side effects, well, then it's nothing like Superadyne.
If it sends you into a rage of destruction and your addiction to it causes you to steal to support your habit and it has long term health risks... then it's worthy to be controlled and made illegal to own or use. -
Quote:That's what I thought. But...*rolls in with sirens blaring*
Polls are not allowed! Polls are not allowed! Polls are not allowed!
1. it's enabled
2. the prohibition of polls is no longer in the forum guidelines
Granted, the polls in player questions were removed, but they were all off topic and not really a question looking for help.
We'll see how long this lasts.
Now, if anything should be banned, it should be large and garish sigs. <whistles innocently> -

Quote:fixtMy advice is to just stay as far away from AE these days if you're looking for it to give an unbalancing amount of extra XP or rewards. They've nerfed it so much that even creating a test mission with standard non-custom mobs will yeild lower XP than defeating the same level mobs at street level.

Pro-tip to the Devs/Mods spawning GMs:
Giant Devouring Earth have GM hp, but not the GM 'Purple-scaling-damage-code'. In other words, they're level 50 ArchVillians with 5 times the hp. So, if you drop them on players who aren't 50, you're pretty much ganking them.
Just so you know.
