Good afternoon Players. Here are this weeks highlights:
You asked:
Can a onetime exchange type of thing with other devices, such as the Mark/Seal of the Dragon, be done like the Chili Popper?
The Emu Team said:
Sorry, but that opportunity was only extended due to the Chili Popper being broken at the time of reward choice. We will not be extending the offer to include any other items.
You asked:
The amount of Collegia Faction gained from each successful Agrippa mission for the Progen Sentinel seems to be almost counterproductive. Would it be possible to have this amount looked at and perhaps tweaked as necessary?
The Emu Team said:
We concur it is low and does need to be adjusted. We are currently working on more new content for you so don’t expect it to be done immediately but it will be added to our working list.

.. I know at one point Ralen was one of the 'overseers' of the Wiki page. There was also another but I can not remember whom it was. Perhaps they have used "sysops" on the wiki pages making them impossible to change/alter.
This was mentioned and I was told that it would be given to Karu to look into. I don't know what, if anything he can do about figuring out who worked with that page or what they may have changed. I suspect it is likely a bit more difficult than just 'learning' how to use wiki.

Good morning players. I hope you are all having a great time out there! Here are the answers to your most burning questions from last week. ;)
You asked:
The AA’s are nearly impossible to find beyond server resets. I don’t think they really spawn after the initial reset.
The Emu Team said:
These items are spawned at server startup but they do respawn. The rate in which they appear in game is up to you. Are you a hoarder?
You asked:
I still don’t quite understand why a support class would be invalidated because of a minor change regarding a debuff on a launcher.
The Emu Team said:
If the debuff is suited to ONLY the support class that creates need. If that debuff is given to a warrior class you now have a choice of bringing heavily armed warriors or not so heavily armed support classes. This would certainly invalidate the need of the support classes, which we are not willing to do.
You asked:
The wiki page is not very user friendly and I thought there were moderators to assist with getting valid information onto those pages for the players.
The Emu Team said:
This isn’t really our field and is more in line with the website staff. We have turned this over to Karu to look into for you but remember that the Wiki is player run.

Hello Cabot,
I can't be positive about this, but I SUSPECT that your account is on probation based on your amount of negative feedback from previous posts in relation to the actual number of posts. It might be an automatic kind of thing that doesn't require input from the forum moderators therefore the status won't change until you make more posts to balance it out more? This is just guessing on my part here, so if I am wrong, my apologies in advance!
Maybe try 'trolling' around the forums and posting to some threads that are relevant to you and see if it takes care of itself automatically.

The public have adopted a stratedgy where we have 2-3 Terran Scouts armed with gorgons, salamanders and chilli-poppers at the DT and troller raid. When the PW hits his max lvl 7 grav link, all the buffs stack for about 107% total debuff. If you use lvl 5 grav link however, the gorgon debuff gets wiped out (no stacking). Can this bug be fixed and allow the lvl 5 grav link to properly stack on a gorgon hit rather than wiping it out?
This situation is frustrating at the RD base because you are forced to use lvl 7 grav link (risky) or only use chem ammo. The lvl 7 grav link is a dangerous move though because it will aggro the other groups around the RD base and make your raiding experience full of jump starts.
The TS would be a more relevant toon at the RD base with the debuffs stacking properly on lvl 5 grav link. The PS, probably the least played class, would also get a boost because they would not be wiping out the impact debuffs.
Good afternoon GHB.
Can you please put this particular issue in the bug tracker located here : https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/tracker/project-7-general-bug/
Be as descriptive as you can be in how to recreate the issue. I have heard of this before and another player was going to post a bug report, but I don't yet see it there. If you can get the bug report to the team via the above mentioned link it will get fixed sooner rather than later.
Thank you for your input, GHB.

Hi Alurra,
I'm nearing the end of Agrippa... {phew!} So I'm not enquiring/asking/suggesting this for my own benefit, but:
By and large, I think the Agrippa..."Saga" is an incredible achievement. There are a few purely aesthetic issues with the text on the talk trees, but nothing that a thorough read of the Wiki won't help an aspiring Agrippan navigate.
I'm also about to discover if the Stage II Blank Entry Form Stage still requires GM Intervention; but if it does, then I know that a long-term fix for that will be on the "To Do" spike already.
So with the preamble out of the way:
The *ONLY* element of doing Agrippa that has taken some of the gloss off the whole experience for me, has to do with the increasing Collegia Faction required at successive stages for my Sentinel. I'm fairly certain that I must have set back the cause of Sharim Archaeology decades, with the amount of their archaeologists I've slaughtered in Lagarto!
I have read and understood the Story-line justification for a Sabine affiliate needing to gain Collegia Faction in order to progress, so I'm not asking/suggesting that this be eliminated or substantially reduced...
I just wondered if it might be worth considering an increase to the amount of Collegia Faction awarded at the end of each Agrippa Mission; by perhaps 10 or 20% (or thereabouts...)?
I would have thought that a slight increase in the Collegia Faction awarded would not massively disturb the flow of the Agrippa sequence, nor upset those who have already completed Agrippa. But I would think that it might improve the flow of the Mission Set as it stands today, particularly in light of some of the other rough edges it still has.
Just a thought. As I say, I'm almost done, so this isn't a personal request; just making a suggestion for those who may follow.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
H.
First off, let me congratulate you on your journey through the Agrippa maze! It can be long and arduous and quite confusing, but personally, I feel it is some great content for those of us who really enjoy working on missions and such.
Now, to answer your question. As with all of the information brought to me here and in game I will relay it to the Emu Team for you. Agrippa is the realm of Byakhee so I know that the standard wait times and soon(tm) do not always apply in this scenario. I will, however, pass along the information and suggestions from you.
Than you for your input!

Hi Alurra,
Kindly help me to feedback to the dev/gm team :
Is it possible to change my support classes existing devices: Seal of the Dragon to Mark of the Dragon?
I fully understand that this is an irreversible one time exchange should it be allowed.
Thanks with Regards,
Alan
I can ask about this at the next meeting Alan, but I would not count on it happening. I suspect you are asking based on the fact they were willing to do a one time trade off on the chili popper, but that was for circumstances beyond the control of the players.
As I said, I will mention it to them at the next meeting.

*Puts a box of newly donated markers on her desk and tidies up a bit*
Now, I ask that you don’t sit around sniffing the Expo markers and that you please ensure the covers are on tightly when you are finished. :P
On to business!
So, this is where I’d love to see some of those ideas that I know you all have pent up in your heads.
Let us keep this cordial because everyone’s thoughts are valid and do remember we are all real people with real thoughts and feelings on the other side of your monitor. I will not tolerate any disrespect and/or flaming. Try to remember the golden rule and treat others how you would wish to be treated. Leave your guild affiliations at the door. Don't take anyone elses' on the way out either! B)
As others before me have stated, you can always contact me in game via my myriad of toons (all listed in my current signature) you may send me a PM via this forum using your toolbar located on the top of this page or you may send me an email at AlurraADV aatt yahoo.com (replace aatt with @).

With assistance from your handy guide, (thank you kindly for documenting it), I have the game client successfully running on windows 10. I am having a problem with the handoff between servers such as when docking. The client just hangs at the loading screen. Has anyone else had this problem?
Check to be sure you have the prototype reorder box checked on the launcher. That is usually what causes the hangups on gating/docking.

Good evening players.
It is with very high hopes that I post this thread.
I am looking for nominations from you; the players; for a suitable assistant for the Advocates Office.
Ideally this person will be able to fill in for me when I am not available and would be able to lead this office effectively should I decide to step down.
Please make your nominations based on the character of the person and not on guild affiliations. This position has no guild and will remain blind to guild flags and affiliations when dealing with matters of the office. This person will have a public face and should conduct themselves in a manner that will continue to promote honesty and integrity for the Advocates Office.
Lastly, whomever you nominate will need to verify they are willing to accept the nomination in this thread in order to be included on the voting ballot. This nomination thread will be closed on August 31st.
I expect everyone to conduct themselves with the highest regard for one another when posting and as such flaming and blatantly offensive posts will not be tolerated.
Thank you and Fly Safe!

Are both yours and your friends systems exactly alike? Both running the same OS? What about firewalls? Antivirus software? There are multiple things that COULD be blocking your client from loading fully. As Stoop mentioned above, are you giving it a moment to get the client going? I also have to wait roughly 45 seconds to a full minute for the client to load on my screen. Not sure why the hold up, but it does load.

I tried to submit as a bug but the bug tracker will not work (for me) in Chrome nor Microsoft Edge. :(
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's Mimmy whiner!!!
I am unsure what kind of issues you are having Mim.
I just looked at the tracker on Edge, and wasn't having any issues. I even started a thread just to be sure I could.
I don't know what to tell you about Chrome, sorry, I don't use it.

Oh, sorry. I can't answer that, I have no idea. I rarely, if ever mine in Lagarto so I would have nothing to compare it to.
Maybe just report it as a bug anyhow Mim and then they can either sort it into the 'working as intended' or the 'been fixed' bin. That would certainly give you a definitive answer either way, yes? :D

Is it possible this is something to do with storyline progression? I mean Lagarto is right there near Roc.
I might be way off base on this...

Good afternoon players. My apologies for the delay in getting the highlights up. I was waiting on some answers. This covers the last two weeks.
You asked:
Terrans have 3 L9 missile launchers that debuff for plasma. Would it be possible to change one of those to debuff for explosive?
The Emu Team said:
By doing this it would greatly reduce the need for support class toons. We are not ready to invalidate an entire class but we will look into some other possible options.
You asked:
The Jenquai Seeker doesn’t have any kind of ‘instant’ reactor filling skill. Would it be possible to see something along the lines of the other two classes leech skill implemented with this class as well?
The Emu Team said:
This is a support class character. Its skills are based on that fact. If there are combat issues with this class discuss this with the ADV and the information will be looked at to see if it should be adjusted.
You asked:
Bogeril faction is, at best, a thorn in our side. Is there anything else that can be done to help earn faction?
The Emu Team said:
We will add alternatives to alleviate the ‘grind’.
You asked:
I opted for something other than the Chili Popper when doing Lyles missions because it wasn’t working right. Now its fixed but I can’t do the mission again. Can it be repeatable?
The Emu Team said:
Sorry, we won’t make it repeatable but in the interest of fairness we will allow you a one-time shot to trade your Tail Tucker or White Lightning for a now working Chili Popper. Simply open a GM Support ticket and your existing item will be replaced with a Chili Popper of equal quality to the existing item. Please allow 1-2 working days to complete the transaction.

I can't answer Holyman's question, but would like to put one of my own with his: Is there a way to change a game account name?
Don't quote me on this Stoop, but I am pretty sure you can create a new game account with the name you want and then move all the toons to that account. If you already have multiple accounts attached then I don't know what you would have to do ... *shrug* ... hopefully someone will come along and give you BOTH the information you need :D

-Alurra

Would it be possible to ask about allowing the Lyle Missions to be repeatable? There is a toon of mine that has the White Lightning and now that the Popper is fixed, I would rather have the popper.
I am sorry that I missed this question this morning. I will get it into next weeks questions though. My apologies.

*SNIP*
Automatically replacing Alurra because... Her time is up... Would be much less sensible.
Checks soles of feet and between toes for an expiry date!

What worries me is that the job description for the advocate expressly states that they will serve for a maximum of 2 four month terms. No matter how good or how bad an advocate is, they should be held to the same set of rules that govern their position. Most people are happy with Alurra and want to keep her, but at some point in the distant future, she may decide to retire. We're going to have a new advocate that may not be as good (might even be bad at the job), if you set the precedent here that the advocate serves until they choose to retire, you may be stuck with a bad advocate for a very long time in the future.
My point here is that the advocate job description needs to change to allow Alurra to remain (i'm hoping this discussion thread brings that about), but any changes that are made are going to apply to the future advocates as well, so choose wisely.
I think the thing to keep in mind here Flip is that for all intents and purpose, thus far, I have been the ONLY advocate to either not quit/walk away after a couple of months or have not have the player base asking for a new advocate election based on inablity/unwillingness to serve the community.
The advocate previous to me disappeared/quit before a month was up, if it was longer, it wasn't by much. The election previous to that, the Advocate quit in a matter of weeks, hence a new advocate election needed. Previous to that I believe it was Shadow and he no longer wanted the position and called for a new election. Previous to that, Uban was reinstated because the advocate that was elected after him didn't want the job afterall. I guess what I am driving at here is that nothing is set in stone within the confines of these walls. The turnover rate with the advocate position is enormous if you look into the past advocates. I remember there being roughly 5 in the 1 year previous to when I took the role.
-
I voted no but....... I does scare me that the current advocate is asking? Do the players want to disregard the current advocate term limits. Being from the US it really scares me to see someone in an elected office pose that question.
It had to be said. Now if the powers that be are behind this... they should be the ones to show their support behind getting rid of the elections and or endorse the poll.
I think what may be a fairer method, would be to remove the term limit. That way if a player wants to serve (unknown why on earth they would) they would have a fighting chance.
Just saying,
Mim
The point of my poll was to see what the player community wants not what I personally want. Maybe I just don't understand what it is you are saying here *shrugs*
-
As stated previously, I have created a poll to get a better idea of how our community would like to proceed from here.
Fly safe!
-Alurra
*edited to note* I will keep this poll active until Sunday the 15th of August to hopefully allow most of our community time to see and respond
-
I really appreciate all of the appreciation I have been shown here. :blush:
With that said, I don't want anyone in the community to feel as though they aren't being given a fair chance at being the Advocate as well. The idea that someone might be aspiring to hold this position and that I might be blocking them doesn't set well with me. With that in mind, I will try to figure out how to set up a poll, for you, the community, to vote on whether or not you would like to hold another election with some aspiring candidates.

Viscus,
An in game bug report is not the proper place for something of this nature anyhow, so your email is not relevent nor needed for this particular issue. I don't know whether this falls under a 'bug' exactly, but you can post it here if you feel it is:
