  1. It's not Issue 16. Beta hasn't even started yet.

    Probably just a normal bug fixing patch. In fact the latest training room patch leads me to believe this is just a fix for leveling pacts.

    What Bank?

    Yep. It's not an AE thing. That's a bit out of line...

    And they also removed a lot of the deep placed maze doors in perez from rotation a while back. You still get a couple but they're of the relatively easy to find variety.
  3. You can change your forum theme by selecting it from the dropdown thingy at the bottom of every forum page. It's the box that say "-- Hero" in it by default.

    And I'm sure they know about the dev digest. They haven't posted anything that I can tell about it. They're probably working on fixing stuff frantically and are too busy to post much.

    Sever population

    Yup. That's how freedom became the most populated server of the bat. Many of the beta players were there from the beginning making it automatically more populated. And given the above mentioned tendency for people to flock to a higher population server, it just sorta snowballed from there.
  5. All of The City Scoop editions are located in the Announcements Forum (in the English section).

    They kinda got a bit broken due to the forum change though. There's some...issues...
  6. You mean for set bonuses and stuff?

    AA has a pretty big radius and usually enemies will try to run out of it's AoE away from you.

    I can see that, even though you're closer in, I'd say at least half of the attacks are still going to be coming at you from at range. I'd personally probably focus on ranged defense bonuses if that was what you were trying to do.
  7. Virtue is pretty much the official RP server. Although you can find some RP other palaces to greater/lesser degrees.

    That's pretty much the only one that's remained constant though the years. Freedom used to be heavy PvP but I'm not sure about that now since all the PvP changes happened...
  8. Yeah. I get the impression that the server chat/global chat system in this game is held together by duct tape and chewing gum.
  9. In case you were unaware, Greasemonkey is a plugin for the Firefox browser that lets you automatically replace bits of web pages with something else. So you could theoretically use that to replace the little down arrow with something else or change the thread link to the link that the little down arrow is attached to.

    It's not the easiest thing to do though.
  10. It's probably better to use a bit of extra punctuation than to try to pull the ol 1 = I trick. Not sure if that even still works, but generally a number 1 looks exactly like a capital letter I. zero and the letter o are also commonly swapped.

    ...

    Don't do that. It makes it really hard to type your name out.

    Punctuation is sorta cheesy, but can be understandable. I'd try to avoid even doing that though.
  11. I was on a bunch over the weekend, saturday afternoon/evening and Sunday specifically. I ran into 1 mapserver error and a little lag in populated areas as per usual, but otherwise everything ran pretty smoothly.

    I was shocked.

    Click the little arrow next to the name of the thread. It'll put you right to the first new post.
  13. Freedom was pretty solid for me actually... not terribly laggy, only got mapserved once the whole weekend and no trouble getting back in.

    I was pleasntly surprised that freedom didn't get full and counted that as an actual GOOD thing.
  14. Don't think this has been officially fleshed out, but I don't think there's currently any rule against it.

    I'd consider it pretty bad form though...

    Also, why does it matter if it did? Isn't the purpose of this thing for fun? Some folks are taking it way more seriously than it should be taken.

    Just sit back and enjoy the work of the excellent artists who are participating.
  16. You are not incorrect. You can only disable either signatures or all images, not just images in signatures.. I went with the "disable signatures" option...
  17. One of my SG-mates went to Comicon and brought back news that Positron said that the Cathedral of Pain will be back "at some point"

    Not anything terribly solid...but there it is.
  18. I'm with zombie man. The links are probably going to continue to remain broken.

    I'm with you... *turns off sigs*
  20. Unfortunately yes... *searches for the option to turn off signatures entirely*
  21. Same. Joined 6 months after me and didn't make a single post...

    It's all fine and dandy with little slivers of images. But it only takes a couple people to put a big-**** image in there to ruin it.

    Forum signature images can die a slow death.

    And no, turning off all images is not an option
  23. My feedback:

    Images in signatures = NO NO NO NO

    KILL IT NOW!
