I'd like to think so, but the naming of the 'elite services starter pack' (which is more of an add-on pack than a true 'starter' pack, being per-character) makes it seem like a pretty blatant attempt at a silent, deceptive replacement. It's not a bad pack, but the misnaming of it in a way that makes it sound like the…
-
that's actually a 'new' pack called the elite *services* starter pack, and is a per-character thing. It's still a decent deal, but it's neither elite nor appropriate as a 'starter'. it's an effective add-on bundle, however.
-
Yeah... now I kinda wish I hadn't bought zen for the first time in years to buy ships with. Looks like that'll be my last purchase for a good long while... again.
-
I only started doing the summer event stuff right at the end of it, and in only a couple days of farming Horgh'ans I got 34 eggs across three characters. I've managed, in the time since, to hatch only 13 of those, and turned in only one senior (the first I got, the other three are still ticking). The drop rate being as…

The way I understand it he would've had to get a bunch of his friends to join him in doing it. Not sure how many but I gather it's really not that many. Happens all the time in champs, been going on for nearly a year(at least, probably longer), and this is the first I've heard of them actually trying to do something about…

CO, STO, and NWN All share the same chat system. While on any of the games, you can talk to people on any game. Channels are universal as well. So you'd think any change made on CO, chat wise, would apply to STO as well. How it works is that if enough people use 'report spam' on you, OR *add you to their ignore list*, in a…

Do a good enough job developing and testing your code that it doesn't just crash except maybe once in a very rare while? Seriously, I haven't played in two weeks, I go to log in...and the server's down. AGAIN. Way to give me a good impression of the stability improvements in those two weeks :p
-
Heck, I just got her with my 2+-year-old Fed Alien VA. But yeah, Duty Officer. A blue biochemist with an interesting bonus.
-
Same issue. Starfleet Alien VA with max diplomacy. Edit: It changes to this when you start down the hallway after talking with the guard in the mine. He remains hostile flagged even after he's cleared you, but can't actually be attacked (Anything non-instant aborts before hitting him, knockdown melee appears to hit him but…
-
That's the problem. As long as it's cheaper for them to unban people that it catches wrongfully than it is to monitor the stuff in the first place, they'll keep doing it. That's why they did it in the first place: Hiring enough people to actually check all the chat-filter autoreports would cost too much. But this is…
-
So the "detailed" message is inaccurate as well as badly implemented. Lovely.
-
So let's see, they put a 'stop or we'll ban you' message in a chat type that can be turned off and that's full of constant messages that could make it hard to notice if the constant spam hadn't already caused most people to turn it off? This is what we call an 'epic fail'. I would also question the accuracy of it, but I…
-
Ironically, exactly what they were trying to avoid using an automated system. This is one case where it might actually cost more than it saved, though.
-
There's a simple problem with a system like this, and the same problem is the reason I quit WoW and won't buy anything from activision-blizzard anymore. You say whatever the first time, allegedly a warning is sent (I suspect it's supposed to be, and may or may not actually be). Before the person receives the warning, or…
-
If the free lobis are the problem, make the free lobis character bound and the ones from the lockboxes account bound. easy peasy. Really no excuse for this, especially with some of the lockbox items being bind on pickup. What if I want rich dilithium claims on fed character 2, and a warrior's skirt on klink character 3? I…
-
It turns out they just don't have the login page set up on SSL, the login info you send back is, so it's not interceptable anyway as it turns out.
-
If you've got account guard enabled, it shouldn't've been possible to change your info from another system without going through your e-mail first... Pulling up the message now, btw.
-
It's actually not. toanstation determined the login submission is, in fact, secured, using dev tools built into firefox. It's just normal for the page itself to be encrypted, but purely as a confidence-boosting measure: You can trivially see if the page was sent to you encrypted, it's very difficult to determine if what…
-
Hopefully your ISP doesn't do like mine does and just delete stuff their spam filter catches... They used to have a spam folder, but after awhile realized that the 'false positive' rate was really low, so they just stopped storing them. Ugh.
-
Cid, feel free to PM me a hijackthis! scan log which I can go over, and I'd be able to say with pretty high confidence if you had something or not (not 100%, there's ways around that too, but it's harder because it's so generic). Just for the love of god don't 'Fix this' on anything if you do, because the way it works is…
-
Because the VAST majority of the time, it's caused by a keylogger on the person's client. The VAST majority of the remainder of the time, it's someone the person gave their account info to. Why? Because these methods are cheaper and easier to implement than some mysterious 'hacking'. And extremely effective. As for…
-
First missions are frequently a 'go and talk to <person who runs the chain> at <their ingame location>.' As such, they're not repeatable, because why would you repeat 'Go to Starbase 39 Sierra and Talk to Admiral T'Nae' anyway?
-
Well, I see two problems here: First, it's possible for only PART of a page to be sent via SSL: In such a case the page shows up as unencrypted in most browsers for security reasons. I'm pretty sure that both IE and Firefox have a warning for that...with a 'don't show my again' checkbox. Second, the chances of someone…
-
Sounds like something Champs' alerts will sometimes do... if the alert times out and is no longer available right after you enter it, it does something pretty similar.
-
Not as much as you'd think, because people are already going to be parking on a single character just so they don't have to queue again. Even if they're AFK. or just waiting for doff missions. or daily resets. or other things they might normally switch characters while doing.
-
http://www.sadtrombone.com/?play=true ---post above is graptor's--- EDIT: I'll make sure to pass along your feedback, but as "I quit" threads are not allowed because they always turn into flame threads where the poster gets trolled, I unfortunately have to close this one done. Remember, now that the game is free-to-play,…

Only if you assume a mere 1 person per car...
-
Can't switch characters, because that counts as 'logging out' and dumps you back in the queue. Can't crash, because if the game crashes you're back in the queue. Can't get disconnected, because if you do you're back in the queue. With a queue over 22 THOUSAND strong and inching along slowly, the above are STRONG incentives…
-
It's not just that. Even SWITCHING CHARACTERS dumps you back into the queue. So does getting disconnected. Or crashing. A queue system that incentivises wasting server resources by never logging out is more harm than help.
