  1. Fort Trident: = The info guide is very helpful. Nice touch. = I'd move the Longbow Guide to the other side of the entrance arch if possible (they're easy to skim past where they are), but maybe that's just me. = The P2W vendor doesn't have a ring at their feet, but then neither does the one out in that Plaza...
  2. Same here. I think the basic problem is that the MCU writers/showrunners/what have you... have never really figured out what to do with Thor [the character]. They just keep rebranding him hoping that this time it'll be different. This time it'll stick. They tossed away their last, best hope when he handed over the reins of New Asgard to Valkyrie.
  3. In some universe where the "only real interest" is hearing "everything you're doing is great" - that would be a valid question. We don't live in such a universe. According to Number Six that's already part of the system. (A suggestion has already been made to update the patch notes to reflect this.)
  4. Agreed! I also use "last logged in" to help me remember if a particular character has run the WST or not.
  5. Probably should post this in a more appropriate thread:
  6. Oh? Since you have access to the player database and can cross reference from forum handles - tell me how many level 1 characters I'm squatting on. (I won't hold my breath because you don't and you can't.) Interesting how the people against burdening active players are "entitled", but those who feel they have a dev-given right to the names they want... aren't.
  7. Vigilant gloves and boots would be *chef's kiss* if the hand and foot area was true color - the actual color the player selects... instead of having a layer that changes the color to something paler and brighter.
  8. No, thank you. It's onerous enough as it is for active players to have spend time proving their continued worthiness to a character.
  9. Certainly it's possible. It's in no conceivable way desirable, but it's certainly possible. Just because the community wants it doesn't mean it's desirable, and vice versa - just because the community hates it doesn't mean it's bad for the game. And, as @Wavicle said, this isn't a democracy. Never has been, almost certainly never will be. Down that path lies madness [for an MMO].
  10. My guess would be there's no non-ferry sea access to Peregrine.
  11. In a world when every possible combination of English words yielded a desirable superhero name, that would be a rational point. We don't live in such a world. We live in a world where only an impossibly tiny fraction of all possible combinations yields a desirable superhero name. We also live in a world where words have meaning and meanings are significant - and thus some desirable combinations are seen as more valuable than others.
  12. Might have to be a long term goal, but adding it to the Shining Stars arc might also be a good idea. (It's a pseudo tutorial anyhow...)
  13. The system tries to have its cake and eat it too. If it's hard for active campers for hoard names (per a GM comment elsewhere in the thread), then it's going to be difficult for normal players to maintain their roster as well. Under the proposed system you can't have it both ways - both difficult for the campers and easy for the active players. It's an onerous burden on active players to have to "prove" their worthiness to a name on an ongoing basis. That's why I've always been an advocate of account level action. It may be difficult from a developer point of view, I appreciate that... But if it can't be done right, minimizing the burden on actual active players (accepting that a few bad apples will slip through), then it shouldn't be done at all.
  14. - Fort Trident appears on the Long Range Teleporter menu, but does not appear on the Long Range TP Zone Check menu. - If there's a teleporter for Posi, I couldn't find it. As a member of the Freedom Phalanx shouldn't he get one too? Scratch that, finally found it tucked off in a weird corner. Should be moved to the main floor level like the others if possible. - Those teleporters, they're kinda counter-intuitive. - Agreed with suggestions to add a quartermaster and nurse.
  15. There's no yellow warning mentioned in the patch notes, and all of my characters on Brainstorm were either clear (no warning) or orange. So I had no way of knowing that the yellow warning existed... hence my suggestion. Instead, I'll substitute the suggestion that the patch notes be updated to fully describe the system.
  16. So much this. So. Much. This. Target inactive accounts not inactive characters. Also agreeing with the idea of increasing grace periods. Anything less than 60-90 days for any character level is punitive. ========= I do like the way the UI has been implemented... But it needs a tweak. A cautionary icon ("You could lose the name w/in x days") and an alert icon ("You could lose this name at any moment, take action nao!") Updated: Per Number Six, such a system already exists.
  17. The devs have a solid policy of avoiding hints and sneak peeks. It's a sensible policy because the bulk of the userbase are ignorant [words that will get me moderated] and either take such things a solid promises of something that's coming next week, or whine, moan, and complain because it's not what THEY want the devs to be working on, or... well, there's endless variations. But the end result is the same - it clogs up the forums and takes up enormous amounts dev and mod bandwidth while accomplishing less than zero. Subscribe to email notifications and you'll know as soon as everyone else does.
  18. Ignore sounds harsh... but yeah. That's what it amounts to. I know the person said they were half joking, but it's not the first time the topic has come up. It won't be the last. And with 1000 slots and 2 billion inf per... realistically you'd have to be Scrooge McDuck to actually exhaust the inf storage capacity that effectively exists.
  19. You could do something like that in Ultima Online... So people would have stacks of checks (certificates) locked down in their houses. And they still complained they didn't have enough storage, even when you could walk through their house and see checks collectively worth unimaginable amounts stacked everywhere. It doesn't matter how high you put the cap, eventually you'll have more and more people reaching it and insisting you have to raise it more. It's a fool's errand.
  20. With the new patch, the description of Rock Shards is inconsistent... It still mentions DoT, which has been changed to all up-front damage.
  21. Very basic testing, works like a champ. Though it doesn't actually appear to be random. In an admittedly limited set of trials (3, all on Talos island), it just flipped between contacts... OTOH, this lets people reliably get the contact standing outside - which is what they actually want after all.
  22. Spent some time street sweeping in Cimerora - and these don't appear to be dropping as Tip missions... Since Cimerora isn't part of the Zone Teleport System, is this WAI?
  23. Probably best to start in the Mids forum (linked above) then.
  24. Also agreed 100%.
  25. Know bug across all servers.
