  1. The Help Channel can be good.
  2. I'm in. Name the time and place and I'll make my initial investment. Again, money is no obstacle so let me know if anything changes.

    Good luck, congrats, post pictures!
  4. I have to say that I'm almost...disappointed at the initial investment amount. I can supply <redacted> on Virtue (my home turf as well), so 1M won't even be noticed.

    As for "skimming," I really have no problem with you receiving equitable pay for handling my investments.
  5. I received negative reputation the other day...for talking about negative reputation.

    Veteren Rewards?

    About 4 in 10 toons have had this problem. I have not found a common demoninator among them
    Did you already select them as a previous Veteran Reward? Bar the temp powers you normally get in game, you can't ever have two of the same vet reward. IE, if you pick the Nemesis Staff once, you can't take it again--you have to pick something else.

    When this happens, it's definitely greyed out.

    It's the same client. It isn't physically possible for it not to be for the Mac. They may not release a "Yay Mac!" box, but it's for the Mac, too. You may end up having to buy a PC code and applying it to your account (much like I bought a Mac code and applied it to my account, while I only play on PCs), but it's for the Mac, too.

    Positron_CoHI can't believe we forgot the patch note about Pets zoning with their owners in I16.
    So far, just what has been discussed by the dev's in various places, and we've been able to find without the Digests in action.

    Pets will zone with the owner, a new server queue system, and... *shrug*

    Apparently. Now I know why I keep getting negative rep for posting Dev quotes. Thanks, at least, to Z_I and everyone who went to Comic Con and posted about it.

    ?
    Agreed. Sorry, but this is still ridiculously ambiguous. Are you saying that, once the server comes back up, the new Queue code will be working and we can take turns testing? Or is it just official Beta folks only?

Earlier, that code did not appear to be working, which is why folks were able to see the character creator.

    The servers have been taken down (meaning, not even Beta testers can get to it at the moment) until this issue is fixed.

    Now, amid the cries of "Unfair!" and "Why change this now?" I'll explain the purpose of this code change. What we've done is instituted a "Queue" server, so that on really busy weekends, Freedom won't be listed as "unavailable" if it is full, it will simply put you into the "next available slot" queue. Hopefully, this will alleviate some of the issues that crop up from the full server problem.

    Maybe they are leaking patch notes one line at a time.

    He's not an anonymous enforcer--that's his handle. Mod8 is like our Bridger, our GhostRaptor, etc. Ragging on a mod because of their name is just...wow. Also, while the rules haven't properly migrated to the new boards, I know they enforced them over on the Euro boards. I read both boards. So really, I'm still trying to see how you can be so surprised that your inflammatory remarks are taken so poorly.

    I took it to be ambiguous enough to be read both ways, which is why I posted it here and asked what it meant to other folks. There is still a chance that we're all wrong--it is ambiguous.

    I get negative rep for quoting devs all the time. Someone even left a message once amounting to "YOU CAN'T QUOTE DEVS!!!" Shoot the messenger and all that.

    I got negative rep for posting the I16 Beta news in General Discussion, after Posi tweeted it. I don't get people, but I'm not going to let it bother me.

    It would appear so.

    In any case, I don't know if I'm in Beta or not--I'm just looking forward to seeing screenies of folks experimenting with the totally-not-closed-at-all-brand-spanking-new-character creator.

  23. I was referring to deliberately rolling flamboyant/stereotype characters and tracking down the tool team leader to ask for invites.
