Hardship

I've noticed similar behavior as well with attuned enhancements. The conclusion that I came to was that the attuned enhancement is at my CHARACTER level for determining what it could convert into. This may not be correct, but it seemed that I could never get a set that capped out lower than my character level to come up when converting attuned enhancements. If not attuned, then the enhacement is "fixed" at the level of the enhancement for what it could convert into. -H

I just tested with an Empyrean Merit and I was able to email it to myself. Maybe try zoning or logging out and back in to see if that clears up any confusion as to who "self" is? -H

Every 10 levels your character is given a free Tailor Token and also a free Respec. If you have one, I'm assuming it is from leveling that character to 10. -H

Great news!! Thanks to all of you for your hard work and dedication getting the license for the IP. I never thought it would happen, but I'm glad it has. Hopefully now there can be some advertising and maybe a client hosted on Steam! That would help bring in some new players. WOOT!!!

I'm all for the idea of having a months worth of contingency funds. That way the donation window COULD go a full month if it needed to -- hopefully that will never be the case. -H

I find that I get more yellows than I need as drops. Just sell them, then use the proceeds to buy the yellows you need. Yes, you are paying more for the yellows than you used to, but you're also selling your yellows for more than you used to -- seems like a wash to me. -H

I've been having intermittent problems for the last... week to 10 days. Today seems to be worst of it so far. Username and password are taken just fine, but when I try to connect to any shard it gives the "Can't connect to DBserver" error. -H

What would be nice is if the FIRST time you alter a costume slot it was no charge. It doesn't impact me much, I have tons of free costume changes and other than just a couple of characters I typically have one costume and stick with it -- making some changes very early in the game where they are typically free anyway. But it would be nice if once I hit level 30 or something and wanted a 2nd costume, since it was free for the first time I altered the costume slot. -H

Woot! I got a donation in this month!

I just tried out the web character planner. Bravo!! I didn't complete the build, but started to work on it. I had some difficulty with how it worked for a moment, but overall it is intuitive and responsive -- once it loads. Thank you for sharing!! -H

Yes, that is the maintenance message. Since most of us lived through the actual shutting down of the servers, the wording that you've been forabley disconnected and the servers are shutting down still hurts a little. Luckily, in this case, they are just shutting down for maintenance and will likely be up within 30-60 minutes.

I remember reading somewhere that people that take a lot of photos often create a second account and make a character as small as possible and also give them flight so they can be the photographer and get the camera angle "just right". I've not done that, as I don't take that many screenshots / photos / videos, but it may help you accomplish what you are trying to do.

Wait, wait... So how many TOTAL costume slots can you end up with on one character? I have a character concept that includes "random" transformations to other forms. I thought that the 6 starting, 3 unlocks from the tailors and 1 Halloween salvage was all that were possible for one character? Can I get 3 more by going villain side and running the costume missions there?

Happy to be able to donate this time! Woot!!

You shouldn't underestimate the bandwidth of a case of hard drives traveling by vehicle!

Welcome home!

What happened with Audacity? Just that the software was acquired by the Muse Group? Or is there something sinister going on with it that I've not heard about? I seldom use Audacity, but I have used it in the past for a project or two.

I get this from time to time as well. If find if I just hit both shift keys a couple of times it snaps out of it -- I actually hit each of the Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys 2 times each) and then it is fixed for me.

I love the pink bismuth color scheme!! Perfect!

I'm not claiming this one, but I wanted to mention that I think it is a great name.

I second the idea of having some prebuilt bases. I'm a terrible base designer, but would love to have a base that is more than a square with some storage racks in it.

Can this datafix only be applied once for existing characters? If it can be applied multiple times (doing nothing if already fixed), then maybe running it periodically on Brainstorm to catch the newly copied over characters would be helpful? Depending on how taxing it is to run the datafix, maybe every hour or once per day would be sufficient.

I would say that Seeds of Confusion and Carrior Creepers are MUST haves, the rest depend on play style. I guess technically both SoC and CC also depend on play style, but if you play a plant dom you should change your play style to include them! 😉

Is 18 hours the only cool down available? And does it have to be one conversion triggers the cooldown? How about something like 10 conversions / 24 hour period. Or 1 Emp to Reward Merit conversion and a 20 minute cooldown?
