They've already answered that. They had to use a third party to develop the standalone tab on Facebook that accessed the list of codes. They don't have the capability to add something like that to Twitter.

Devil's Advocate time with one of your caveats.

If you don't have enough influence how does it decide which enhancements to upgrade? Shouldn't the player have a choice as to what gets upgraded first?

Thank you.

I do often contribute noise, but I try to keep the signal-to-noise ratio leaning far to the signal side of things.

To a certain extent you can control if Paladin spawns.

Don't stop the Clockwork construction.

Doesn't work in the US using Chrome, Firefox, IE or Safari either. Those are the only browsers I've tried.

I think another part of it is that it is unclear as to what might be copyrighted or trademarked with that character and who might have such a claim. Marvel has a Hercules, DC has a Hercules, Disney has a Hercules, there have been multiple other Hercules characters in comics and similar media over the years.

For example, I think the Marvel trademark was for The Incredible Hercules.

Of course, Thor has been a character for Marvel, DC, Comico and other comic publishers.

One could reasonably make a case if the Thor character was based strictly on mythology and his depictions there but they might have to have the case escalated and present a good argument to the Senior GM. Even then, they might decide to err on the side of caution.

If you report yourself, it varies as to how the CS people will handle it. In some cases they will realize that it was an inadvertant violation and change it if they feel it violates the IP policy. In some cases they may determine that it doesn't violate the IP policy and their decision in that case may be either to do nothing or to go ahead and issue a rename.

You get one free global chat handle change as it is. Unless you've used it already, you should be able to change it yourself. We've been told in the past that once it is used you cannot get another. I do know of one player that was able to get his reverted due to his child accidentally changing it to a random string of characters while playing at the keyboard. Customer Service was really nice by doing that one.

We were given a free global handle change in the summer of 2006 and even if you'd already used your one allowed change you were granted another.

There was a problem with the global chat system later that suffered some instability and caused players global handles to change. I'm not sure if they were allowed to get a rename or not.

As for the forum name change, that has to be done by the OCR team (Z, Hit Streak, Freitag). Customer service can't do that.

Not necessarily. Access to the forums does not equal access to the PlayNC site. It also doesn't equal access to Twitter.

Various companies internet usage policies prohibit certain types of access.

Some have hardware in place to handle blocking sites that violate those policies.

For example, the school district I work in blocks Twitter and Facebook. If my phone or iPad are connecting to the internet through the school network, those sites are blocked.

They also block most discussion forums although I was able to get them to put in an exception for these boards since you must have an account to post there.

The main CoH site is still blocked even though the forums are accessible.

The PlayNC site is also blocked by policy.

That being said, due to being in the Technology Department I have an override I can use to access blocked sites if needed to get to things I need for Technical Support issues. We are asked not to use that for Facebook, Twitter or any other sites unless we are at our desk with no one around. Since I'm rarely at my desk except for lunch and the end of the day, that's not a problem.

But, if I were using my override in the classrooms, computer labs, library or offices to access things that have nothing to do with my job, other staff members that don't have that access could, and would, complain and could cause problems for the Technology Department so that we would lose those privileges. I won't do that to myself or to the other members of the Technology Department and I expect the same from them.

Students would likely complain as well, but they have the most restricted access as it is and they complain about everything that's blocked, so we don't pay much attention to their complaints. But when their parents start to complain, that causes the same problems as when other staff members complain if not more.

So yes, it's entirely possible that people can have access to one site but not another. It's also possible that the access is only available to them in specific locations or at specific times.

My work phone is a smart phone. It has Twitter and Facebook built in. Due to the construction of the building there are very few places inside the buildings where I have a cell signal. We are still discouraged from using Twitter and Facebook on our phones while at work, even if we aren't using the wifi network.

Yes, Randomly as I feel like it. And yes, I can solo during these events.
Yes for the ones that are already triggerable, especially if badges are available (no, I'm not a badger but others are and I don't like limited times to gain these defeat badges). No need to change the zone events or GM spawns.
Sure, but fun is often reward enough.
Sure, if I see a notice about Babbage I know to go to Boomtown, if I see a notice of a Troll rave I know to go to Skyway, if I see a notice of Fires I know to go to Steel.
The zone events seem to be about right for occurrences (fires, raves, clockwork activity) and the GM spawns (Jurassik, Babbage, Kraken) seem to be about right as well. The triggerable events (Rikti, Zombie, Banners) are dependent on player action so those seem to vary but are fine as they are.

What

Drapery capes might be rather fabulous. Especially if they are pink or purple.

Not all of the issues were fixed.

Several players have reported that instead of keeping the cookies and simply expiring them at the end of 8 hours the cookies are being deleted if you close the browser. Arcanaville can give more information on what's happening with the cookies since she's looked at it to see what is happening.

Even if I leave the browser open and never touch the Back button it will regularly log me out before 8 hours have passed if there has been any inactivity at all.

The Remember Me button does absolutely nothing. Luckily, my browser will fill in my username and password for me at home. I obviously don't have this enabled at work due to security reasons.

There are also the random logout bugs.

He already addressed this. It wasn't as simple as you make it seem. There was a third party that programmed a tab on the Facebook page that pulled from a database of codes. They don't have a way to add such a feature to Twitter.

They already know my thoughts about this matter, so I won't go into them here.

I will admit that I follow and interact with them on Twitter (without having had to divulge any personal information aside from an email account that I created for that purpose). My tweets are private so you have to have my permission to see what I post.

I also Like the CoH page on Facebook and interact there asking and answering questions or just making comments as I do here. Facebook has very minimal personal information about me and it is blocked so that only those I allow can see that information. I know of people who are not giving any actual personal identification on Facebook.

They haven't announced specifically that they are fixing the text errors, but they did call this "Fixing all the things" during the Coffee Talk (why call it a coffee talk, I saw no coffee in evidence).

Since you mentioned other things in the lyrics that haven't been specifically announced for I24 I decided to point out the elephant in the room that you didn't mention, the text errors.

Since they referred to it in that manner, I have to hope that text errors are on the list of "all the things".

You could always send him a PM asking about it. I'm sure he'd be willing to explain it.

But you might want to send that PM really soon. Like, before the end of today. Otherwise ...

Actually, I'm fairly sure that player has been reported and has even contacted CS about the character himself. He's discussed it before.

His character is built off of the Hercules from mythology, not the Marvel Comics interpretation of that character, the DC Comics interpretation of the character the Disney interpretation of the character or even the old Trans-Lux Television animated series The Mighty Hercules (from the early to mid 60's). The poster knows this and that explains his "for various reasons" comment about the other player.

I had no problems at standard difficulty on any of my Blasters. I had little problems at +1 or x2 settings on them.
