Master-Blade

I checked already. My other shortcut still works... but like you implied, it doesn't mean it will still be available afterward.

Did they state they are getting rid of the other tags? I didn't notice that in any announcement, but I could have missed it. If they didn't, then my point still stands that we don't know for sure, and could still be a possibility.

Either way, like I said before, it doesn't negate the fact that people should still get the new launcher working so they can get updates anyway... and with the customization of shortcuts for the new launcher, it'll load just as fast anyway, so there wouldn't really be any need to skip it, IMHO.

Suggestions and Ideas

Not necessarily. It may be mandatory for updating the game, but I suspect the direct "skip the updater" method might still work... unless they specifically said they are getting rid of that command.

But either way.. the point is we'll all have to have it installed and in working order to be able to update and play... so best to get it sorted out ASAP. lol

Right. As soon as you log back in, the reward window will be there ready for you to accept your reward.. but remember.. the timer starts from the moment you claim the reward, meaning if you don't log back in for a whole week, you'll still have to wait an additional 18 hours to claim another one.

As for the answer to the question:
I'm pretty sure I tested it before, and I believe that is one of the windows that only uses your global scale rate and cannot be set individually, so the only way to shrink it would be to shrink your whole UI. On the bright side, after you shrink everything you could just enlarge the few windows you might want larger and still be playable with the Reward out of the way.

I agree it's just a graphic. Evidence of this is having a toon with more that one size costume. Wear one that's 4ft tall, then switch to one that's 8ft tall. The Bubble graphic increases in size, but the actually AoE is not changed.

Looks can be deceiving.

Before people ask how you did it, I might as well tell other people who didn't see my post about it before...

/optionset ShowVillainName 1

That turns on all the enemy names, even though the option menu doesn't let you. Many of us love it!

It's not necessarily just Television though. For example, I have a couple characters with that contact and no issues at all, but I had a Villain who came over from Praetoria get the issue shortly after making the move. I suspect Archmage Tarixus to be the culprit in that case. (I unlocked him for one of my weekly group events.) I don't recall having the issue on that toon after leveling out of his range.

Also, I had a Hero that briefly had the issue as well, but I suspect it might have been partly because each time the Hero had the problem, I was on one of the other affected characters and relogged onto the Hero. Something might have carried over in the memory that would have normally not affected that toon? I dunno.

For that matter, the issue Leandro originally described in his thread a while back referred to the Ouro crystal crashing him. IIRC, that happened on almost any contact he opened from the list, and I eventually encountered it as well.

What level and alignment is the character?

Also, do you fit into the "Intel Proccessor/ATI graphics" category too?

Turg formed the first team. CP actually did show up and formed the second team. Then we actually ran it a second time.

Good times!

It wasn't really an accident. I've been experimenting with them and trying to figure out what their purpose is and what causes them to die as soon as you come out of the building. I figured it was an automatic death as part of some code, but it turns out the Champions shoot them. Being only lvl 44(?), they don't stand a chance against them. I've been playing a Tanker all week, so I've been able to rush out there and Taunt certain foes and prevent their immediate demise.

The funny part was when Dr. Advance whipped out a Singularity and ran around the map through the entire fight. I was surprised that he didn't die until after BM was down. You are right, that was satisfying! lol

I've never been able to save both of them at once though. It's true you healed Dr. Advance the second time and kept him alive though. I bet if we combine our efforts, we could do it. haha

On a side note, I've also been trying to save all the PPD that get attacked in the first mission as soon as you leave the sewer to fight in front of "the Penny". So far I've got it down to only 2 of them dying. Again, I'm sure it'd be much easier with help, but I've been experimenting silently with it for my own satisfaction. haha

I haven't run across any AT or powerset that is excluded from this badge. If you are referring to the "not friendly to melee" argument, I actually completely disagree with that. I've run it successfully on almost an entirely melee team, but the reason that worked was that there was nobody holding or immobilizing BM in place. That means that when we moved out of the "blue death", she did too, and we hardly missed a beat and took her down.

I think the point is that he doesn't have it on "all the time".

Unfortunately, the easiest way to find him in this case is to go around without any stealth on, so he'll agro to you and show himself. If that means getting hit by other mobs and clearing along the way, that's what has to be done. If you are using a stealth IO to cruise around the map, and he happens to have his stealth on too, he might be tricky to find.

I have never heard of random mobs disappearing. That sounds like an entirely different problem. Did the rest of your team see him turn invisible too?

That's not my experience at all. You must be looking at the wrong e-mails. You were probably looking at the e-mail confirmation for the purchase itself, which does not display the full code. You should have received another e-mail after you applied the code.

I still have e-mails dating back to PlayNC, which say "PlayNC Serial Code Applied". Those include the full code of all items added (even those bought off the website), and say:
"Please keep this email for future reference as the serial code may be required to obtain customer service."

Eventually through the change to NCSoft, the wording was only changed slightly, but overall results are the same:
"NCsoft Serial Code Applied
Save this e-mail for your reference. You may need to provide the serial code to a customer service representative to obtain customer support."

I counted at least a dozen full serial codes, but the funny thing is that I never even had to provide any of them at all to re-gain access to my account, so I think people are getting too worked up over it. lol

Did you try what is posted above?

After I logged in and created my new questions, I got this e-mail:

I assume if I logged in at another location (or if my IP changed), the most that would happen is it would ask me for my new security questions again.

Oh I agree. I was just trying to point you in the direction of things to check. Just because your computer and client did not change since last night, doesn't mean your character had the same contacts, or whatever else might be leading to the combination of things that causes the issue. While I was at it, I figured I'd pass along a version that works fine too. Maybe there is some kind of behind-the-scene comparison that can be done somehow? I don't know.

Anyway, all I can tell you is that when it happened to me, I got an error stating that the driver was stuck in an infinite loop and had to be recovered. I couldn't really screenshot the message or dig up any other "Active" data because the system was pretty much frozen at that point and I had to do a hard reset. lol

I now award you with the "Master of Necro" badge. lol

Close, but not quite. You forgot the "+".
("forward" by itself will only tell you if you are moving forward (0 or 1). It wont actually move you.)

Here is the bind:
/bind W "+forward$$sync"

And as a bonus.. not only will that sync every time you start to move forward, but it'll sync you again once you stop too.

For ATI users, we've noticed that what you are describing can happen with any driver version higher than 10.9

Those of us who rolled back to 10.9 have not had the issue occur again.

I don't think it's necessarily something that changed with your computer, other than the unknown variables that lead up to this event happening. Some people have issues all the time. Some never had it at all. Some people have the issue on one toon, but not another, so some people will blame it on specific contacts that don't have "backgrounds". Maybe they have issues with using reflections or shadows in the mini-renderings in the contact window. In some cases, the problem does happen to go away after leveling up to the next "tier" and outlevel certain contacts.

In short, you are not alone with that issue. You should be able to roll back to 10.9 or just play with some of the options turned down to prevent it.

Also, if you get Generic'd and you feel it was wrong, you can fight it.

For example, my main (Master-Blade) was generic'd, apparently just because my name was Blade. They apparently never even researched what the character looked like. That's further evidenced when my main villain (Robin Rogue) for generic'd as well, because of the name "Robin". Well, SHE is a vampyre demon and looks nothing like the Boy Wonder, so that was certainly a mistake too. rofl

Either way, they reinstated the names for me and apologized for the mistake. I did have to re-do the costumes though. Fortunately I had them saved in a costume file so it was just a matter of loading them back up. No big deal really. The whole ordeal was over in a matter of hours each time.

As for who reported my two main characters to begin with, I'm pretty sure I have an idea. They were both generc'd within a week of each other and I wasn't even playing either one of them during that time period, so it was definitely somebody that just got mad at me for some reason and thought they could get back at me by reporting my toons. Anyway, I updated my petitions to request for harassment action if they did it again and I've had no issues since. Some people are real DBs sometimes. rofl. Don't let it get ya down.
