I8 notes …

Haven’t even downloaded yet, but a few notes showing up on the boards:

  1. There will be a freespec (apart from the Vet Rewards ones) with I8. No details as to justification. Hard to complain, but I hate to see the whiners win … though I’m sure they’ll be busy bitching that (a) it won’t be this week, and (b) it won’t stack with other freespecs from previous issues.
  2. Global Chat is “borked” again — vanishes when you zone (maybe) or enter a mission or a base, returns after a period of time (or after the first kill).
  3. I9-11 are scheduled for 2007 … subject to change, of course.

More to follow …

  1. The Faultline teleport beacon is bugged. It will bring you to the old map for a few seconds and then drop you off in Atlas Park.

  3. And … free costume tokens coming. Again, not particularly happy with the whiners getting their way.
    And the Known Issues log:

    *To unlock Veteran Rewards (respecs, powers and/or costume tokens) you must first click on the associated badge button. To find this button please go to the “Veteran Reward” tab on your badge menu and scroll through your rewards. This is by design.
    * If you are experiencing any issues with chat windows taking up the whole screen please use this workaround:
    1) Click on Menu, then Options.
    2) Select the Graphics and Audio tab and scroll to the section where it has the Screen/UI Resolution and 3D Resolution Scaling.
    3) Change the 3D Resolution Scaling to match the Screen/UI Resolution.
    4) Click “Save Changes” and this should resolve this issue.
    * Workaround for changing the inside color of Veteran Reward Trenchcoats:
    1) For characters who have already unlocked a Cape:
    – Equip a cape and set the colors you desire for your Trenchcoat
    – Switch back to the Trenchcoat
    2) For characters who have not unlocked a Cape:
    – Select the Trenchcoat, use the “copy color to all” button, select the color you want for the inside of the tail. Select any other costume option then de-select the “copy color to all” button.
    * We are aware of and working to correct an issue that could have players experience global chat outages while in missions or in supergroup bases.
    * The phase alignment and mystical energies of Supergroup base teleporters to Faultline are currently not working correctly.
    * Players may experience respec issues with a Kheldian character while slotting energy flight, rest, or sprint. If you would like to slot any of these powers we highly suggest you hold on to your respec for the time being.
    * Power: Aim in the Blaster Electric Blast set uses the same animation as the Blaster Energy Blast version of Aim.

    It was very fun building a new toon and watching the “Veteran Reward!” stuff blast across the screen.

  4. More on the free costume tokens:

    To follow up on this, the script is the “old style” you mention above that can give up to an additional 4 costume change tokens and should (barring any sun spots, tidal waves or other fun things) become available with the server maintenance on 11/30/06.
    We do realize that there are players who might have characters with up to 5 costume slots. We felt it was more important to deliver the free tokens in a timely manner so those who want to alter costumes as a result of Issue 8 can do so quickly.

    Now waiting for the people who will wail, moan, and gnash their teeth that it’s UNFAAAAAIIIIRRRR (DOOOOOOOM!) that they don’t get a 5th costume token along with the other 4 … “How else can I get bat wings for all five of my character’s secret identities!?”
