  1. Oh yeah, no problem. I have a huge surplus of blue-side inf. right now. My global is @Thaneval, though I usually don't get on until ~9:4510:15 Eastern. I'm at your disposal, if you like.
  2. Smurph is taking a break right now. You were looking to trade your infamy for my influence? I can't do the other way right now, sorry.

    I thought of that, too. But if I wasn't on recurrent billing, I would know that I had to pay on time, or my account would lapse. That's the whole point of being on recurrent billing--to eliminate the monthly/periodic re-ups. I'm not trying for a "holier-than-thou attitude plz," I'm just confused how you can stop paying for the game, and not consider it your choice.

    Obviously there are going to be goofy issues. My bank got bought out in the middle of the Loyalty period, and my accounts got sold to two different banks. I had to go and rejigger everything, new accounts, credit cards, everything had to be changed over at PlayNC. But I never stopped paying. I firmly expect to get my badges tonight, and I will open a support ticket if I don't. *shrug*

    I received it this morning, but just questing its origin.

    Thanks.
    You kept your account active during the launch of Champions Online.

    Well no, not officially, but unofficially...

    Oh, no doubt! I just went through a bad patch myself! I guess I just can't figure how folks don't know if their account was canceled or not. If "lapsed" has another interpretation beyond "canceled" or "inactive account," then you are correct, I need enlightenment.
  6. Pretty simple, folks. If you subscription lapsed, you're not eligible. If it didn't, you are. If it didn't, and you didn't recieve your badges, open up a support ticket. If you can't tell whether or not your account lapsed...then you've really confused me. At the least, I suppose, you could ask CS if it did or it didn't. But wow.

    I'm always up for trying any of this, just don't have the time I used to have.
  8. Anonymous forum feedback, called Reputation, and granted via the balance scales below those colored blocks.
  9. No, that is assigned via some crazy hash code. They are aware that by colorizing them, we now what customization, though.
  10. Accolades was what I had my money on, thanks. I guess I was hoping to see it go under Vet rewards. Need some variety in there.
  11. There is nothing wrong with being religious, or LGBT. What's wrong is this post. I agree, personally, that the decision is wrong--but what you need(ed) to do was take this up with CS or a community manager, not post about it.

    It's kind of tainted fruit, now. Good luck.
  12. I had forgotten about the Hami buds. These were the things that used to drop the HamiOs. So you'd get, like, Assault/Traps blasters or whatever stacking piles of mines and queuing up their Novas before Hami died. So there would be a brief lull as people prepared to ninja the loot, and then this huge lag spike just as Hami went down.

    And you would have NOTHING.

    And some blaster, or otherwise, elsewhere would have a half-tray of HamiOs.

    Now that I think about it, I think I did several raids before tiring. Mental block and all.
  13. Where are they popping up under? I'm assuming Accolades, but...

    As has been explained before, it is a permanent account-wide badge.
  15. Think of all the work you put into your costumes, yeah? Now throw that all out the window, because if you're not wearing a Hamikini to a raid, you would be torn a new one. Hamikini's were the most stripped down costumes possible. NOTHING EXTRA. So picture a ton of people in leotards doing all the lame UR MOM jokes, and that is my update to the above. Since raids needed so many people, there was LESS of a chance for chatter or camaraderie in my opinion. I did it once for the sake of doing it.

    I've had pretty negative experiences on subsequent raids, too, so I'm pretty much done with them.

    Arena wherever?

    I was under the intent that he was trying to illustrate his first point.
  17. I who what?

    It's just easier for me to keep the inf. in the CH, then have friends assist me in shuffling it around to different characters. If an imminent patch changed things, I'd just have to get some help and roll up some new dummy characters. Not a problem, just an inconvenience.

    Too valuable, I'm inclined to think.

  20. Global channels can be recolored, but the others are permanent. For now at least.

This happens to me before too but I didn't get the entire set before I realize something is odd happening. The only thing that I can think of is...maybe I have some of the recipes like one or 2 of Hecatombs and Coersive Persuasion sitting on my recipe tray that might lead to this? I'm not making sense I know but I'm just boggled as to why I consistently get the recipes of the same set that's all.
    Send me a PM, I can help you with this problem.
  22. I have had several periods of away time from the game, and it is true--a quick patch could change this pretty fast. Seeing as all this was reported to the dev's back in beta, and that they've openly stated that this is not what the market was intended for, they seem well aware that it is happening. I'd like to think that they would be smart enough to give us fair warning beforehand. Or at least, a suitable alternative. Heck, if I could just easily move stuff around, I certainly wouldn't be using the market to hold stuff.
  23. Hey, everybody who said Thursday was right!
