  1. You should at least prepare yourself for different merits for the next trials.

    This is correct.

    In addition to this^^^ I really appreciate the, "Congrats on the badge, here's some loot" attitude bolstered with, "Congrats on helping others get the badge, here's some loot for you, too."
  4. Even the failed runs drop iXP, astrals, and threads. Plus, they're really short. I could get behind this.

    similar yes, but definitely not the same, plus use of greek letters is hard to sue over .
    You got one, Emperor.

    For real!

    EDIT: Which, I really hope means that the UI obstacle for getting Power Pools and Epic Pools customizable has been pretty much worked out... and they can get to work on doing those powers now/asap/yesterday!
    But it's not a UI obstacle...if they were designed to have color customization in the first place. Patron and Ancillary power pools were not, so the roadblock remains.
  7. Two BAFs. First successful, second not. Not sure how I feel about this stuff just yet...
  8. Are you saying that when you rez/revive, the powers don't come back?

    This is the answer, and was actually determined by some folks early on in beta testing. Thus far, it only affects people who don't have their Service Packs updated. Paragon Studios is looking into it, but the easiest solution is simply to run the free updates.

    Outside of stolen software, there are really very few people who legitimately can't upgrade to SP3.

  11. Somebody is not thinking. And xeaon is winning. *thumbs up*
  12. I was completely updated and patched in four minutes. It used to take 45 minutes to just verify my files. I much prefer the new updater.

    BOTH machines were logged in and online until 5 minutes before the servers went down. The kicker is that the one I get nothing on will load the test server fine, but it will not launch the live version.
    Is this related to the SP3 issue?

    What do you people do for a living?
  16. Whoa, wait--they're angry that they can't have the most expensive item in the entire game with minimal effort?

    Well-played.

    And Caios, too? I hope these places are handicapped accessible for all of us old folks.

    Still unlikely to make it there in time, but I'll be rooting for y'all in spirit!
  19. Definitely stealth increased.
  20. I can't think of much to say that is intelligent. Wow.

    I don't farm and I don't "market jack," explain to me how adding people's names to the CH interface is going to prove anything.

    Also, since lowball bidding is the cheap way to get awesome stuff, you'd effectively increase the price on everything I'm buying. But then, your "solutions" seem kind of short-sighted.

    Why don't you list the problems you have that are inciting you to "frenzy want to get violent stage?" We can help you figure out ways around them, and you'll start making money in no time at all.

    We don't know how the whole pre-load thing reconciles with the new launcher. Maybe it's not even necessary.

    Considering how blazing fast the launcher has made patching for me, I'm anxious to see how long it takes to fix an entire issue.

    No. But then, this is the first issue with the new launcher...
