I will be moving a level 50 or two TO Pinnacle!
I already have a couple of my favorite alts, and sets of friends here.
There are a couple of servers, especially my first main server, Victory, where I stayed completely on at first, and are now over filled.
I will be using the transfers to even out WHERE I have my alts.
I will be opening up slots on my fuller servers.
I will be moving alts, especially higher alts to servers where I have fewer alts.
I will use this to even out my coverage of all the servers.
While I have more open slots on Pinnacle,
I have always liked this server, and will be bringing more alts here.

Okay, I transferred a character from Champion over to virtue. She disappeared off of Champion right away, but I don't see her on Virtue. Is this like the character copy tool, where it sometimes takes some time to work?
Could be related. -

I'm going to assume use-or-lose. You have six 'slots' for tokens. If one gets used, that empty slot gets filled in a week. If you don't use any, no replenishment.
If you want the most free transfers, use all six by this Saturday (Jan 31 is a Sunday) and six every week thereafter for 36 free transfers.
It may be even tighter than we are thinking.
The rules say "up to 6 transfers a week (7-day period) per account."
I see two ways for the mechanics of this to work:
- On day 1 of each week (days 1,8,15, etc), All six slots are replenished, whether empty or not.
- OR, When each slot is used, a countdown starts and that slot will only refill 7 days from the moment that slot is used.
But IF it is method 2, then each day you delay in using a transfer, then it will be further into the next week, before you will have the transfers reset, ready to use.
For example, with method 2, if you wait till day 5, and make all 6 transfers that day, then you would have no transfers available on day 8.
You would not have the ability to perform another transfer until day 12, when all the 7-day countdowns would refill all the slots.
If you then delay a few days to use the next set of transfers, it would push the next availability further back again.
(If you do not use each transfer as early as possible each time, Transfer availability creep could cheat you out of the maximum transfers if the replenishment algorithm is method 2)
I wish we knew which method it will be.

Quote:That works, and I admit if you read his wording carefully, the costume piece appears to be what he was talking about...Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I think you are confusing the jet pack temp power with some jetpack costume pieces. What we'd like to see added is some more recipes in the form of jetpacks. You'd still have to take the travel power Fly but the jetpack costume recipe would animate when using it just like wings and rocket boots animate once the power is turned on.
But we DO want to be sure that this is clear.
We have gotten both costume pieces AND travel powers in the Booster packs so far, so it would be easy to confuse the two requests, when we are discussing booster packs.
However, when one just asks "Where are these things?", I stand by my original answer, "Where did you see them last?".
Unless someone has promised us these things, it would be unreasonable to just ask "Where are they, already?!?"
And we have NOT been promised those things.

Do you have any idea how much money they make every month selling LKT-1700 packs?Quote:Where are the jetpack back options to give an alternative to wings and rocket boots?
Do you think they are crazy, and want to give up that monthly income?
I expect they already took a big hit on those sales from ninja run.

Well, yeah, the first choice for the shoulders is a tad much... and your model managed to boost the ShoulderHelmets to be even MORE humongous than they normally are... and they are huge to begin with. . . .
Here, I used the shoulders, belt, and cape, for one of my favorite PBs, Anti-Body.
I don't know what he meant by 'goofy'.
I DO love some of the things I can do with these parts.

Quote:I think you meant there aren't enough players . . .Originally Posted by Beerknight
The once great champion server i feel is diminishing fast... There isnt enough players on this server . . .
But I think that is incorrect.
- I agree with Cyborg. I see no teaming problems.
- Even if you were right, We are still in the time of year that people have other things to do, or the economy has hurt their gaming time or money.
- Even if you were right, your suggestion of server merges actually tend to do the opposite of what you want. People see merges, and think it is the sign of the apocolypse for that game, and so even more people quit and the problem actually gets worse.
- Some people prefer lower pop servers, some don't... If you are not on a server that matches your preferences, the problem is yours. You need to become active on a server that IS at the level you like. (Don't say "But I LIKE this server and people!" . . . YOU just made a suggestion that would destroy your server.)
- What you may be seeing could be the result of SSK. . . . SSK makes it SO much easier to team.... People team up, disappear into their missions, . . . and it SEEMS less populated, because there are less people just standing around outside chatting and bored, and yelling LfT ! .

I am just surprised to find how long it has been since I set any new MM binds!

Quote:You may be right, for binds.Originally Posted by Psychic Guardian
Stever I think part of the problem was if they were created pre-problem they worked, and new they didn't. I just copied yours and they didn't execute, or give an error either
The goto should still work.
The first and third were actually macros, and pasting those, still worked.
/macro BCL Petsay_all <em drumdance> BOOM! Chaka Laka Laka
DOES work.. When I hit that macro button, they dance, and say "BOOM! Chaka Laka Laka"
HOWEVER, it appears the bind cannot now be created.
Trying /bind k Petsay_all <em drumdance> BOOM! Chaka Laka Laka
OR /bind k "Petsay_all <em drumdance> BOOM! Chaka Laka Laka"
. . . does not work
interesting . . . and annoying...
Gonna hafta look at it further . . .

Logged in to Enforcer 2, My Thugs MM.
Ran the boys through their paces.
They danced, They spoke.
They sat when I hit that macro.
They sang and danced the songs "Stop in the name of love", and Y.M.V.A.,
when I tapped the proper macro keys.
When I pressed my 'goto' bound key and clicked the top of a lamppost, all 6 of them hopped up and stood atop that post.
. . . and several other tests passed muster.
Was there any other things broken lately?
ETA: (some of the above macros or binds that worked, were:
- petsay_all <em alakazam> STOP!
- SHIFT+LeftClick "petcom_all goto"
- petsay_all <em chicken>
Not just a pet problem.)
. -
Go to search.
put in the terms 'petsay goto petcom'
That will give you several of the Guide threads that include the pet commands.
At the top is a recent one that looked good.
I think they are working, but it has been a while sine I ran my MMs.
I'll check.
. -
Yes, CoX is gonna be just fine.
- We are staying well above the minimum numbers to be considered successful.
- I am not finding it any less easy to find teams . . . on any server.
- Of course, SSK means that people team up easier, and disappear into missions.
- And so there are fewer people just hanging around outside jus doin nuthin.
But yes, CoX is doin just fine.

- Well, I had been using this name on other forums.
- It is usually available, when Steve is already gone.
- My real name. The R is the initial for my last name, Rogers.
- Captain America was unavailable for a handle.

Hi, K.
Help for this problem can be found in this recent thread.
One of the solutions there should help you out!
Good Luck!

1. You want to encourage even MORE people to make petless MMs?!?
2. I am indifferent
3. No matter how good it is already, I will always agree with "better pet AI" requests
4. Pirate Henchmen!

Quote:It is like a lot of the changes that have been made though the years...Originally Posted by Acemace
Agreed with most of your post, especially, "the Major Event status of the old raid".
Like you and tons of other people who led literally hundreds of old raids, I just don't find the new encounter being able to reach the level of fun that was possible with the old one.
I've been to one villain and one hero raid since the changes, and that's likely to be it, for me anyway.
I can look at it from all sides, look at it objectively, and say.
"Well, yeah...
I guess it is fairer, and
technically, this or that change is indeed better . . . "
But dang if I don't feel less SUPER after that change...
. -
OK, OK!
- The new Hami is better.
- More efficient, challenging to more people.
- More ATs get to, have to, play a part.
- IF you manage to get in, You may have a better, more rich experience.
I, like many others here, ran over a hundred of the old Hami.
I, like many others here, have only run in 3 or 4 of the new Hami.
I have TRIED to run about 15. *
The new Hami requires that you actively research.
Read the forums,
Know the global channel or people planning them.
You need to know ahead of time,
And carefully schedule so you can be one of the 50.
The 12 or so I mentioned above that I failed to make it in, were back soon after the new Hami was novel. It might be easier now, but I don't know, or try much anymore.
With the Old Hami,
- I would be running around doing missions, and The Call would go out!
- "Hami is up! Let's go kick A**!"
- No problem advertising it big. Everyone could go participate.
- Broadcast alerts! Messages in Global channels!
- 1 or 2 teammates would say "Hami!! I gotta go!"
- The population of PI would drop drastically.
- People who were younger than 45 would wish they could join in.
- Heroes dropped what they were doing to go fight the threat.
- And for a while, you and a lot of Heroes would go and be part of the Major Event!
I know the ways the actual raid is better now.
But I kind of miss the Major Event status of the old raid, and how the effects of it seemed to ripple through the whole city.
* ETA: I might have exaggerated a little when I said many here ran hundreds of the old Hami, but only a few of the new one...
But several posters here said that, and it does reflect my experience.

I also like to make sure people know about this thread:
The Ultimate Teleport Bind - The Program
It handles other fun things like- Removing all windows from the screen
- Pulling the camera back for wider view to click in
- Differences between normal, PB, or WS teleports
- Restoring the camera and windows after you release the trigger key.
Changed using TP from a chore, to a favorite travel power.
There is also an alternate thread for laggers, but I haven't looked at that, and don't know which is a more useful thread.

Oh, you misunderstand me: I'm not annoyed at the PST, I can convert time zones easily and even if I couldn't there are myriad sites that do the job. I'm annoyed at being ignored because I live in Europe and apparently don't deserve the same treatment that US players get.
How would you guys like it if the announcements only mentioned the EU time, simply ignoring the rest of the world players base?
It's common courtesy towards your customers I think. Since we're talking about loyalty and all...
You are right!
I should get all bent out of shape too.
I live in the Central Time Zone.
They NEVER tell me events there.
They just give Eastern, and Pacific Times,
and us red-headed stepchildren in Central are always left out too!

The above is the solution in most cases.
If however the problem is more serious, and your chat settings have become jumbled,
Below, you will find the question and solution from a previous thread to help fix it:
Quote:Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
My friend with the trial account has somehow permanently closed the bottom window of his chat box, the one with the Chat tab. We've tried restoring chat and windows but nothing seems to work. The middle bar is gone, there is nothing to grab to pull up or down. Resizing the whole chat window does not make it appear.
It's keeping him from communicating in-game. I'm at a loss as to what to tell him to do. I've never seen anything like that.( * Note: The Save and Load buttons for the "Chat Settings File" are at the bottom of the Options list... several categories below the "Chat" options)Quote:Originally Posted by Justaris
It's actually a fairly common mistake. There's a couple of solutions.
1) Go to an unaffected character (or make a new one). Go to Options, and at the bottom of the General options in the Chat Settings* click "Save to default file". Then open the affected character and on the same interface click "Load from default file". Instant fix, assuming you don't mind the characters having identical chat settings.
2) This is a bit more involved. It's what I do on the occasion I still manage to make this mistake (it's all too easy to do). Right click on the chat window and select "Add Tab". Then "Edit Tab" with the newly created tab selected. Then you add in every type of chat that you want to see - you're essentially recreating the tab you deleted and customizing it at the same time. Once you're satisfied, close that out.
In order to restore the divide between the top and bottom boxes, simply click on a tab (any tab) and drag it down - this will recreate the two boxes. You can then create more tabs. So long as at least one tab remains in the bottom box, it will remain in existence.
That has saved my bacon several times!

Quote:That is so true.Originally Posted by Futurias
. . . I pretty much do not pick them these days just because it clutters up my inherent powers worse.
I took the alternate sprints on ONE alt, and never did it again.
I sure didn't want all those powers cluttering up my Manage Enhancements screen,
but there they stay, forever, if you accept them.
Now I get NR and Walk, two more powers cluttering up the Manage Enhancements real estate.
For no reason...
If I cannot enhance them, they should not take up that space.

Quote:Totally agree. I love some of the names I come up with, and haven't really ever had to try too many.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
. . . So, no, I don't believe all "good" names are taken. Not even close - not least because "good" is purely subjective. Not even all "blisteringly obvious" names are taken, good or not. The day nobody can make any name (including, say, my Battle Machine (tactical) model 118-B, aka BMT 118B, who - being a machine - never got a 'name' of its own,) then we can talk about throwing globals on.
I usually like the new names I have created better than some of those I ame up with when CoX was young.
Activity to try if you think there are no good names left:
- Log onto one of the High population servers. (because there are obviously more names 'used up' there.) . . . at a busy time of day.
- Stand in AP.
- Jot down all the names of the lowbies that you see popping in there.
- Be amazed at all the pretty good names streaming in to the game.
- Realize that you could have thought of those without any books.
- Notice some of the techniques they used to get close to other names they might have been trying for.
- Learn from them, and do likewise.
- Notice that there are still many good names that are obviously still available.
I did this this afternoon. Planted myself under Atlas, and spent 120 seconds jotting down all the names I spotted on new alts.
Came up with this list:
- Ashley
- Martial Blaze
- Alpha Knight
- Jordan Star
- Princess Kokoza
- Agent Copperhead
- Omega Weapon'
- Mystery Phantom
- Spectre Raven
- Cliche Kitty
- Mr Dresscode
- Kheldian Corp Turtle
- Knightmoves
- Goldstar Girl
- Sarah Lightning Bolt
- Courageous Green
- Handsome Red
- Ionized Blade
- Into Oblivion
- Side shift
- Funky Monkey
- Kid Yellow Fire
- Nictus Shadow Ranger
- Autumn Moon
- Brother Sam
- Noble White
- Shadow Ghost X
- Reapers Lil Helper
I think one of those was 15,
But almost every one of the rest was level 1 to 4.
I know Autumn Moon, Funky Monkey, Goldstar Girl, Mr. Dresscode and several of the others were level 1.
I was surprised that those were available.
If a few minutes watching the new names popping in doesn't help you realize that there are good names left, I guess I can't help you.
