Today I discovered I couldn't log in to my faithful launcher.

I've not seen any announce, which is frankly a tad poor but there you go.

 

Sad to see it go but at least we have a great tune - and I even know all the words to it.

 

Thanks for all the launches

 

badabadabah... TEQUILAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Well, they did imply quite a while ago that they were moving from the other launchers to the Homecoming launcher.

 

 

But I agree that they didn't indicate any hard termination date for ending support of other launchers.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

The Council of Fourteen announced, years ago, that they would no longer be supporting the Tequila launcher.

 

Also, people have been talking about this all today:

 

Oh, and here too:

 

And also here:

 

And I expect they'll probably be 4 or 5 more threads about this over the next couple of days.

Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

My only peeve with this is I got a couple bugs and I'm unsure if it's from the new launcher messing my settings or from the new patch.

First, power recharge timers were colored for some reason. Took me about 5 seconds of tasting the rainbow to realise this wasn't for me. Thankfully I found an option to turn that off.

Second, power recharge timers now make the power "pulse" at certain intervals (10s, 5s, 2s, 1s). This is distracting to the point I logged off unable to cope, and can't find any setting to turn *that* off.

I guess I could kill power recharge timers and live it oldschool, but it's a rather convenient feature...

It's in the Powers section... Disable Power Tray Animations I think. That's what I did and I don't get a pulse. I noticed I had to disable Power Tray Labels too

I tried that, but disabling Power Tray Animations kills *all* animations. Which is similarly unplayable for me, if in a different way. I need the classic power icon slowly growing so my side vision subconsciously picks up on the rough state of those recharges, but without this new pulsing that was either introduced yesterday or due to a wrong setting on my end.

Yeah they should separate out these power tray options further, so that folks have more . . . options. (I could not think of another word)

It seems illogical to have a single option for what would appear to be two discrete display categories

This was brought up before, the most recently (that I recall) was when the NCSOFT Licence Agreement was announced.

 

In the FAQs, the following was mentioned (see screenshot):

Maybe worth reminding everyone that it was going to be switched off a week or so before... just to jog memories. I certainly missed it in the HC/NC announce cuz it was relatively uninteresting news at a time of great excitement about other stuff... easy to skip. I guess most folks know now but I did look in the Announcement section and didn't find anything obviously on a cursory search. Not saying it wasn't there - but if it was, it was not at all prominent.

I was faithfully using the Tequila launcher. I made the switch to the HC launcher; it was painless (this time).

 

I hadn't stuck with Tequila completely out of stubbornness, I want to say that shortly after the HC Launcher made its debut that the install attempt had some sort of pain that I really had not been expecting. The current package worked smoothly.
