I didn't know people still use words for passwords. I always mix numbers with letters and symbols. I also make sure it is at lest 8 characters long. I never had a problem remembering any of my passwords but I also have a great memory.

Logging in and out for Day Jobs I noticed it will make you re-enter your password the first time you do it but works fine as long as you only swap to alts on the same servers.

Once you change servers it will prompt for password again on the first Quit to Character Select then works fine for all others on until you switch servers again.

example:
Quit to Character Select on Justice #1: Goes to Login, not Character Select
-Select an alt on Justice

Quit to Character Select on Justice #2: Goes to Character Select
-Select an alt on Justice

Quit to Character Select on Justice #3: Goes to Character Select
-Select an alt on Triumph (or other server than Justice)

Quit to Character Select on Triumph #1: Goes to Login, not Character Select
-Select an alt on Triumph

Quit to Character Select on Triumph #2: Goes to Character Select
So, as long as you swap on the same server you don't notice how borked the system is.

It's not really about security for most people. It's more about staying logged in and not losing your place on the server when the load makes the queue kick in. Before, you either stayed on the character you got in with the whole day, or you got out and stood in line. Now you (theoretically) shouldn't have to if you want to change characters.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

My passwords are generally jumbles of letters and numbers that are somewhat readable as words if you look at them right. Generally they're also portmanteau words that are counter intuitive combinations. i have a terrible memory in some ways, but i've developed a variety of mnemonics that make it easy to remind myself of passwords in a way that almost no one else would understand.

Regardless, i haven't found the logout to character select all that useful since it usually also gives the two messages for me as well, but i do really like the new trams and ferries, even if it has made much of my former transit planning completely unnecessary. The instant shifting between stations/ferries in areas with more than one stop is also a lot of fun.

Greatest thing for me? Hmm i dont think i can pick to be honest.

While i still did play my 50's a lot before i19, i've now more or less become solely on my 50s [with the odd low level thrown in]. With the incarnate shards and my goal of getting enough shards to build every single alpha power, i can see my main being used a LOT Though the plus side though is that im now doing the hero tip missions a lot again and crafting every recipe that i get while keeping the rare salvage [stupid mini game of mine, hard to explain].
Also attatched to that was the fitness change being able to pick new powers. On my ill/rad [main] i was able to pick up flash, choking cloud and rise of the phoenix and slot them to make them worthwhile [one +recharge IO + the alpha +rech = no slots needed! woo!] and i love the extra damage i am able to get from the holds and the danger powers.

On my fire/dark scrapper [noob buster], i used to play him a lot and was very proud of him since i dont really see that many /dark scrappers around. However over time i stopped playing him, now i've done the respec and even took breath of fire [love the new animation for it!] and got to admit, im back in love with it again. Taking me a while to get him back up to the standards i remember him as [what was classed as strong then, is mediocre now imo], but im slowly and i mean slowly, getting there

So i suppose my favourite feature of i19 is . . . . .

Getting the love for my oldest and [imo] best characters back again

As for the merged Monorail system, raise you hand if you still drop n O-portal at the Talos station... to get to Atlas Park...


<.<


*raises hand*
I have dropped the O-port to go from Talos to Atlas, and from Atlas to Talos, while standing beside the base portal in both cases. And in both cases, you can spit on the train station from the Base Portal.

I wouldn't complain about adding some travel options to Peregrine though. Right now you can get there by Ferry (from Talos only), Ouroboros, Rikti War Zone, or Base Transporter. And all four drop you in roughly the same spot.

I think that moving the Base Teleport location to somewhere near Portal Corp, placing a Ferry in IP, and adding a two-way portal between Portal Corp and Atlas Park (much like the one between Portal Corp and Firebase Zulu) would be a good start.
