(do not use Spam for emails with no name as that can cause difficulties when the system tries to ignore someone who no longer exists)

[/ QUOTE ]

That's easily proven false. If you use the spam button on an "empty" name, you'll /ignore the global name that was attached to it. No difficulties attached to it. The empty names are not cases of the account getting banned, it's a case of the spammer deleting the character after sending out the spam.

... but when all it comes down to is finding a target you can attack then fingering your number keys like you're playing the guitar...

[/ QUOTE ]

Pets will always have a target if there is one available. For me, it's not stop action because there's almost always someone who has a Singularity, Dark Servent, Decoy, Imps, etc up and I just target through them.

I am getting WAY WAY WAY too much spam from ******...

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh yeah, to the OP, you might want to edit out the name of the spammer, so as not to give them some free advertising.

[ QUOTE ]
It takes nothing more than that. It's not going to change. The reason I say click "spam" on the ones with names still attached is because that account hasn't been closed by NC yet. If they know it's spamming, they WILL.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I recall correctly, the "empty" named emails were cases where the spammer deleted the character after sending out the spam. Previously, there wasn't a connection between the email and the global account, and the spammers were able to hide their activities this way. This was fixed and if you hit spam now it will flag the global account name.

One way to sorta test this is to check a character you haven't logged onto for some months. I logged onto a character recently and it had spam dating back for several months, and there were still names attached to some of the old emails, even though it's most likely that these accounts had long since been banned.

These vet rewards keep getting worse every 3 months. these are the kinds of things that should have been 3 month to one year rewards. Honestly this is a slap in the face to people who have been here since launch. aboslutely terrible.

I'll be getting my 63 month badge at the end of the week, and I certainly won't be whining and complaining about it, whatever it is. It's free stuff.

edit: Went and found the upcoming badge rewards, and I'm in no way unhappy with it.

Oh and for the rest of you out there, this also means you wont have to pirate Office ever again, you can now use it free online, well not now, once it comes out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Never had to pirate Office. OpenOffice is free.

And now... and 20 minutes ago, and probably an hour from now.

It'll be happening constantly all weekend. Make sure you have the "Hero/Villain zone even message" channel added to one or more of your tabs so you can keep track of it. Even better, put it on a tab all by itself.

Make sure you look at the actual date you're supposed to receive those badges. You can pay in advance, but you won't actually get the badges until the time has passed.

For example, my account shows 5 Years, 7 Months of vet time, but I don't have either the 63 nor the 66 month badge yet, because that much time hasn't passed yet.

Heh, I liked it.

It's a lagfest. I don't quite understand it but the kids apparently love it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except it's not a lagfest for everyone. Certainly not for me. It's fast paced, fun and exciting. I don't have a top of the line machine, but I do spend a bit here and there to upgrade it from time to time. That's all it takes.

Check your chat tabs, one of them should have the Hero/Villain Zone Event Messages on it. Every now and then it'll say something like:

[Vanguard] WARNING: Rikti ships have been detected heading for Founders' Falls.

If you don't see anything like this, pick a tab, right click on it and select Edit Tab. Click on the Event channel and add it to the tab. Or even better, create a new tab with just the Event channel on it.

When you see a message pop up on it, go to that zone and start fighting rikti.

The intensity of a fight.

The sudden need to team.

The teams with complete strangers suddenly saying, "hey it's in Galaxy, let's head there now!" and going with it.

In other words, it's a way to shake up the game enough and put some people in teams together who'd never have even thought of it before. it feels heroic to me, gathering around the "big spots" in zones, with 30-50 other heroes (or villains) to defend our city from the Rikti invading forces.

I love it.

It also helps to take a little time to figure out which is better to make. For example, I think it's cheaper to make knockback IOs instead of Damage IOs (I haven't checked in awhile). But you are almost certainly able to sell Damage IOs at any level, often for a profit, while very few people will buy KB IOs.

Always a good reminder.

Hope you make it back soon.

Well, which is it, Yes, Correct, or Absolutely?

For anyone who's still looking for a hotel, a new hotel has just opened up this week, and it appears to actually have some rooms available.

Hotel Indigo, San Diego Gaslamp Quarter.

Lucky, lucky, lucky!!

Passes have been sold out for months, and the same of nearly all hotels.

Nomme and I are going to be at ComicCon and most likely HeroCon this year. >_>

Comiccon year 21 for me . I wouldn't miss it for anything.

Was it any of these?

With 4 slots I'd go with 4 pieces of performance shifter, endmod, endmod/accuracy, endmod/recharge, and the chance for endurance proc. It's slightly less recovery enhancement than the ED cap, but the 2.5% recovery bonus from 4 pieces gives you a little bit of an edge (0.01 end/sec according to mid's, but every little bit helps).

What level IOs are these numbers for? Level 50?

This will be the first year in nine years that I'm not heading back there. Real life hit hard this year, and I just couldn't justify going .
