I thought this would be an interesting poll to see how most people made it to 150 thus far. If you have other poll options, please let me know and I may add them.

split off posts not relating to activations

This public web development area was underused (and perhaps inaccessible by players) and was merged into another area.

There is a /played command listed in the command list. However, using that will get you an 'illegal' message. I think it would be nice to have it back. I don't agree for having rewards based on play it however. One way to think of it is is that players who are on a lot are more likely to be on when special (GM) events are happening. Another way to think of it - we'd be encouraging people to be logged on and idle while doing other things just to get whatever reward was offered. No need to waste all that power

It's gone now, so no need to worry about it -Closed -split unrelated posts.

Folks posted some good information as a response. As noted above, this is a hoax as noted by snopes: here -Closed

I've also seen mobs run away when they realize they'll lose, so I follow them. Their shields heal up some and they seem to 'recover' their courage and come back at me for more - and I finish them off. I think it makes it interesting, and could also see how it could be frustrating. The thought of carrying another device to boost speed had crossed my mind - they start running, I run them over

That is an interesting idea - that would make freewarping truly 'free'

I use Avast and haven't had any trouble. Try what Avani has listed and let us know. I too would also encourage you to have some sort of virus protection installed. Anything new installed or changed since the last time you played?

Also moved to GM support section.

Moved posts from another topic discussing essentially the same thing. They are automatically arranged by date, so may also be slightly out of order.

Moved posts that were talking more about updating graphics than EA starting up again. Let's stay on topic

Don't confuse Jobs and Missions - it almost sounds like you'd want a mission set up more like a job (dump trash, earn x amount of xp, x credits and x faction) Missions are really for storyline development and to get you into the game world and setting. They should make the characters stand out and be more realistic (as much as they can in a futuristic game anyway) The dialogue should get you into the developments going on in the game, and perhaps mention something you wouldn't know otherwise. (maybe even not mission related) Maybe an NPC mentions a place you haven't been, or a fact that something is going on in an area which you might want to investigate, or even a whole new (sub)plot line for your race, class or just a particular NPC character. Being able to quickly click through all the chat options and be able to complete the mission by your mission log is, in my opinion, the wrong way to go about it, and completely misses the point. Missions are optional except for HU's and skill ones, so really if you want simplicity and ease, you cold concentrate on jobs more. As you may be able to tell, I love missions. (Except an annoying one where I've got to level like 30 levels to kill the mob needed after easily killing the previous one )

I also know there have been some issues with e-mails from the ticket system not getting to some people, so that may have come into play too. - closed.

As Kenu said, if you see any player acting inappropriately, please contact a GM. I have not joined a guild, and I am quite happy. You really have 4 options - join a large guild, join a small one, start a new one, or don't join one. You could always join the 3rd or 4th largest guild to create some competition with the 1st and 2nd

Is this when you force update, or just when it first starts up? You may want to try to reset your updates if you haven't already.

I managed to check the fourms with IE7, and saw the same issues as others have reported. Now I no longer see them, so CDel's fix should do it. If not I have also heard turning compatibility mode off works too as Grendwal noted. I waited until I was pretty sure everything was fixed, so I wouldn't be making this thread worse for those who were having problems. Thanks for your patience!

I'd also say guilds are the easiest way. However sometimes you will see someone looking for more miners or hunters on the channels. You could also get a group together yourself to mine/hunt/explore or whatever.

I was wondering why I'd gotten a few PMs instead of a "report" Thanks both of you. Closed

moved to GM support

Moved to GM support - they should be able to resolve your issue.

Closing per Merlin's previous post. If you wish to expand or pursue this, feel free to post in the suggestion section.

- Clarified one question (missing the out from 'without') and added a few more options to some questions to represent all aspects brought into question. Previous options of the question only allowed for KO answers. Vote away!

Welcome to our new Mission Discussion area! Please note that this area is not for: -Mission Bugs -Race or Class specific missions (They should be discussed under the proper race sub forum) Please also use the [ spoiler] option when possible. This will prevent people who have yet completed or obtained a mission from accidentally seeing details they want to discover on their own. Example: When you arrive at the nav Alpha So discuss missions,comment on aspects of various missions, and help those who may turn to the forums for help. Maybe you'll even mention an idea that a developer would like to use.

With the suggestion being answered I'll close this thread. I'll split the discussion of mob behavior to a new thread under General Gameplay Bugs if you wish to further discuss them.
