  1. I'll get right on that.




    You may want to read the heading at the top of this forum section:

    Those are the methods for reporting bugs or getting support. The players can't do a thing to fix that for you.

    Can you name any other Earths where we can put a base portal? No. All of the ones we can access are by using Portal Corp. technology.

    We also can't put SG base portals to any villain zones or VG base portals to any hero zones.
  3. For me, it's pretty much come to the following as far as the various forum login/logout issues are concerned:

  4. And that currently doesn't work either.

    If I check the Remember Me box before logging in then read a few threads and close the browser, when I re-open the browser seconds later my username is NOT remembered. It logs me out each and every time I close the browser.

    Something the web team did quite a while back made that stop functioning on any computer I've tried to access the site from, no matter the browser I'm using and no matter if I've ever tried to access the site from that computer before.

    I've given up on them being able to fix anything, especially once they decided to implement the 8-hour limit on session logins.

    It's rather difficult to quote and link things said on a uStream, things said in Beta chat, things said in Q&A sessions at the Player Summit, etc.
  6. He resets each time you have received the weekly 2 Emp rewards for completing all of the arcs. In other words, he resets as long as it has been at least a week since you received the award.

    It's not a specific day of the week as far as I've seen. I usually start repeating the arcs either late Sunday night or on Monday night. If it wasn't resetting until Tuesday it wouldn't count the progress I'd made on arcs before Tuesday.
  7. I've not had any problems with getting him to recognize my completion of any arcs since he was introduced. I'm in the middle of an arc right now so he won't talk to me, but I'll check again as soon as I complete this arc.

    EDIT: After finishing the arc I was working on I checked with Gabriel and he is showing the correct list of arcs I haven't completed since I got my last 2 Emp reward for completing all of the arcs. [End EDIT]

    He's also still on my active contact's list.
    I've completed each of his missions 3 times now.
    The friendship bar is different for Max. When you first run through his missions in DA, the number of missions you select to run will decide how far his bar fills.

    During Beta I ran each mission the first time though on most of my versions of TJ that I was testing with for the express purpose of trying to see if not getting the end of Arc reward table was consistent.

    That filled the friendship bar and he did move to the Inactive contacts list. The few that I ran only a couple of missions on didn't fill the bar and didn't move him to Inactive.

    On Live, I only ran the mission to rescue Slinger and the final mission and got the partially filled friendship bar as you did and he's staying on Active.

    Running his missions through Ouro won't fill his bar, just as it won't fill the bar for any other contact in the game that you don't have the full bar for but outleveled.

    Careful.

    Someone might think you are discussing other games.

Invariably, people ask with righteous indignation, "How could you DO this when everyone was yelling and screaming about how awful it was?" The answer is, hell, they yell and scream about everything. How exactly should they have known this was any different?
    Well said.

    MajorDecoy knows me too well. I was indeed talking about purchasing a VIP subscription. That includes a license for full forum access as well as a few in-game benefits as well.

I still cannot find in the Announcements sections where it says "staff melee is released April 17th", the first official word I discovered was today on the open forum on the Facebook event.
    Savvy players (and forum readers) follow the Dev Digest and Community Digest. It allows you to see responses by the red names, be they a Dev or part of the OCR team, with the occasional fluff posting in some thread that doesn't have anything to do with the game.

    Not everything is posted in an Announcement. As a general rule, we've heard release dates for items in the Market (when we've gotten any) in threads that were NOT in the Announcements before the official Announcement thread was made.

    The Announcement threads for market offerings are generally made on the Tuesday of the market update, not before.

    Well, if you look at the message it returns (or at least the message I got when I did a search with "who will die" in the search terms box, it explains it pretty well.



    As stated, words of 3 letters or less are invalid for the search, so that leaves out "who" and "die" and the message also states that "who" and "will" are either very common (the reason in this case), too long (not the case) or too short (true for "who" but the first reason overrides this one) and wouldn't be included in the search.

    Those two things made all three words in the search invalid.

But for combat, you're treated as level 51 and it makes a big difference against tough enemies. To get your Alpha slot to tier 3, you'll need 40 shards and one 'Notice of the Well'.
    You can get your Tier 3 Alpha slotted without a Notice of the Well. It can all be done solo using Shards, Threads and Components.

    There are alternate recipes for each ability and each Tier of that ability that don't require the Notice of the Well. Just select the ability in the Create tab of the Incarnate window and scroll down on the right.
  16. It depends on what you mean about the forum search.

    I use the Advanced Search features regularly and have no problems with that.

    I don't generally use the normal Search feature at all so have no idea if it is working as it should. However, a simple test shows that if I click Search and type a phrase into the keyword box and then click Go that it does return the results as I expect to see them.

    Currently, when I am looking at a User's Profile page and click Statistics then click Find All Posts by [username] I get a notice that I must wait 15 seconds between searches and I can't get their posts to show that way.

    I get the same error message when I click Find All Threads Started by [username].

    I get the same error message when I am looking at posts and click a users name on a post and select Find More Posts by [username] from the drop-down menu.

    IIRC, the minimum length for search terms is 4 characters. Anything else will return a message that no results were found. For example, typing wwd as a search term will return no results, it needs to be a longer term. Unfortunately, since we use several short acronyms such as WWD, SSA, TP, etc. it doesn't help trying to do searches.

    If you mean something else about Search being broken, you'll need to give more information.

    There have been paying players doing the same thing for most of the (almost) 8 years I've been playing this game. This is nothing new.

    I look at their power choices and, because of free status, they have no bonuses. Some of you might regard SOs as adequate, and they can be - but overall, recharge is slower, regen is less, recovery is less, damage is less, everything is comparitively less. (compared to IOs)
    I know players that have been playing for years that have no bonuses. Many of them are very good players that I'd take over snobs that insist that a player have set bonuses and use IO builds.

    Since the game difficulty is based around SO's (aside from Incarnate Content apparently) it's simply elitism and snobbery to insist that players you team with use IO's and have set bonuses.

    Attitudes like that from players is one reason some people prefer to solo.

    So it's basically what Father Xmas said?

    It may be a case of same symptoms, different cause. I'm just tossing this out there as a possibility.

    Be thankful you can post to the forums at all. The original plan for Freedom was to only have Read-Only access to the forums with no posting privileges for non-VIP accounts.

    However, there is a purchase that can be made to get a monthly license to post in all sections of the forums. It has other things attached to it as well, but the full forum access is the one that is overlooked the most.

    IIRC, it was Zwillenger who mentioned this in some odd thread here on the forums...
    Some of us were told at the Player Summit when we asked where Jay was.

    When it was reported on the forums, some people didn't believe it until either Zweigendoobephogerung or Avatea or some other redname confirmed it.

    It may have even been in a uStream chat that it was confirmed after the Pummit.
  21. Interesting.

    Once you design a game and introduce these powers and mechanics, let me know and I'll give it a whirl.

    As for changing my existing gaming experience, powers and powersets that I currently like, no thanks.

    Well, it got me a new first on the forums. First time I've used that button for a redname post.

    Almost as much fun as when I've used it on my own posts.

    Sounds like you should go in and Edit that page and add the abbreviations you are missing.
