Muhir

After accidentally selling an item to a vendor (same graphic as normal vendor material), I submitted a ticket to a GM in hopes of getting the item restored. "Sorry, once its gone its gone" was the response. Kind of harsh, but whatever. Because of the huge number of items in game that share the same graphics as other items, I would like to see a buy back option installed to vendors. If the response I received is typical, then we should either have a revamping of graphics to avoid duplication or the ability to buy back items sold to a vendor. I am a little peeved at the loss of this item, it was one of the items from hulkapalooza and can't be replaced. If the reason that a GM did not restore the item is because of the nature of the item, then that's one thing. But, at least according to his response, "Sorry, once its gone, its gone" sure seems to indicate to me that any item vendored is irretrievable. If it is irretrievable, then it only makes sense to have a buy back option or at the vary least the graphics altered to not resemble common trash.

I can tell you this, as a very long time member of this game, test, project whatever you want to call it. When you accidentally via a /mt or something similar and drop a bad word, it is genuinely treated as a mistake and over looked. If you are intentionally using a word in open chat, then you are subject to a verbal reprimand. Case in point, in being coy the other day I said something with "sh!t" in it. While the community overlooked it, a certain staff, who shall remain nameless, sent me a private /t about it and rather directly said that it was inappropriate. While we bantered it about privately for a few minutes, the reality is that he was correct and I was wrong in using the language and masking it as unobviously as i did. I was frustrated and wanted to share my frustration and clearly used a well place "!" not to hide very well the word that I wanted to use. Which is clearly now and has been against the code of conduct from the beginning. Moral to this story, just because you don't see someone getting lambasted in public by staff, beta, gm, or otherwise, does not mean that they are not told to stop doing whatever it is they are doing.

Worry not, I am sure I'll keep finding more entertaining items in the future....... Joeboo is about to enter into the second stage of Agrippa Technology. Zack, ya'll may just wanna gimme Byakhee's phone number so I can bug him direct.

gah lol here's the right one: 01:00 Time stamp [img]http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq37/enmort/junkemail3.jpg[/img] and for the record i put exactly 5,000,000 credits on muhirvault. I can now track the flows from him so there can be no doubt. Also, really, credits, please, i honestly could care less if there was a problem or not in that regard.

Kewl, zack, thanks for the explanation. I wasn't sure, and it was confusing because of all the messages. I did read the individual emails and for example: This one is time stamped 01:00 hrs [img]http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq37/enmort/Junkemail1.jpg[/img] And this one is time stamped 04:00 hrs [img]http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq37/enmort/Junkemail2.jpg[/img] If these are duplicate messages or something like that, then its very confusing. Also, if these are as you say crossed over for the multiple vaults, then there should be three messages per day (one for each vault) and not two. I could care less about the credits, so no big deal there, but you all say "test" this stuff and report. Hence, I am testing and reporting.

[img]http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq37/enmort/MVVault.jpg[/img][img]http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq37/enmort/LarryVault.jpg[/img][img]http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq37/enmort/JunkVault.jpg[/img] Here are the three vault toons that I have currently in play. Now, to be fair, i have not checked to see if the funds have been removed as would be indicated by the received "system mail." I will monitor Muhirvault as he is an inactive character and his credit supply is is static.

Fantastic! I do have one question in regards to the vaults. I realize that at this time there is an "abundance" of credits, but the daily charges appear to hit twice daily when there is a server restart. Received System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 31-07-2012 @ 04:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 30-07-2012 @ 01:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 30-07-2012 @ 04:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 29-07-2012 @ 01:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 29-07-2012 @ 04:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 28-07-2012 @ 01:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 28-07-2012 @ 04:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 27-07-2012@04:00:00 System mail Net-7 TeamVault: Your vault has been charged with daily fees 26-07-2012 @ 01:00:00 ACK this looked so much better when I copied it over. But it didn't post very clearly. The point is that on the 27th, 28th, and 29th, my vaults were charged their daily fees twice it appears. The question that remains is this just going to happen because of the nature of the restarts? Are they even linked to a restart? Or is this Slayers way of getting back at me for pickin' on the Brits?

Excellent, TY Blacklung. However, I am not the only one suffering from this "issue". Could you get someone to check on it please?

I put this exact thing on the bug tracker too. My baby PP, Joeboo, has completed the initial steps in this talk tree and has reached the point where the NPC wants to see a l5 multifuros projectile launcher in my hold. NPC: "Hey, do you know that the Agrippa Technology designers have developed a new projectile, and you have been chosen to make impact ammunition for it." Player response tab: "Really? Next window NPC: "Sure If you bring a Multifuros Multioilco Effervo Quineque to me, I'll give you a blueprint that should suffice." Player response tab: "Is this it?" NPC: Great This looks fantastic. No player response tab, just the "done" box. No mission is given to me, no print for ammunition is given to me, and I get no response from the NPC other that what I have quoted above. I have the L5 PL in my cargo, +8886 Collegia Trader faction and +10126 CW faction. Additionally, I have the required L5 weapons build skill. I have tried moving the gun around from slot to slot, equipping it, logging, relogging, and every trick I can imagine, but to no avail. Can I get someone to look at this, me, and the mission to see what is going wrong? Thanks in advance!

Something to consider as we progress along this path to a wipe (at some point) and live. After obtaining the print for ammunition (stage I), you are then told to present a l5 multiforus PL. This PL is not linked in the database by the way and a search of L5 PLs don't show it, nor does the name trigger any response in the search function. But, the real issue here is that there is no way to make the weapon required to obtain the print. Think chicken and egg scenario and which came first. If you have to have the item in your possession to obtain a print to build said item, then it is kind of circular in achieving the goals of the missions. EDIT: Additionally, wouldn't it make sense for the gear to be superior, especially at lower levels to what is readily available? Especially given the monumental effort to obtain the items in question? I understand that I am not the first to voice some of these questions, but without clarification, it will just further erode interest for many.

ohhhh gracias! I didn't think to link it to the other email before i merged the two emails together, so it just seemed lost in space. I know I can be a pita sometimes, so I am grateful for you putting up with me.

I would if i could access it, but when I transferred to my main account and merged emails, trystian was not linked to its original master account. as a result, now all i get is "There are no avatars showing up on your account. Either you need to create a game account or your email address in the forum has changed! You can sync your game-account mail-address to your forum mail-address by following [url="http://www.net-7.org/resync_mailaddress.php"]THIS LINK (CLICK)[/url]." When I try and merge the name trystian with either the original email or my normal main one, i get a dialogue box that says: [b]"The details you have entered do not match anything we have on record. Please try again."[/b] Lstly when I use the linking feature, for the account that houses "trystian", it shows up as: Game Accounts linked to the [b]s*&##rman[/b] Forum Account: Account Name: Move ? So, as you can see, I've tried. Just delete the bugger please.

I consistently freeze/lock up while gating or docking. The screen doesn't progress to new sector or station, nor do I get to visit megan. This is a new development. its 1 out of 4 gates/docks that this happens. I have to ctrl-alt delete to exit the game when it locks. I suspect that it has something to do with me altering the resolution, but I have done everything according to the instructions regarding changing the resolution size. Any ideas?

So I transferred all my main accounts to this account but there is still one that I can't seem to transfer. It doesn't have any characters on it, the account name is "Trystian". Can we just delete it and make it go away please?

[quote name='Klyde' timestamp='1342574493' post='60561'] The basic tokens unlock agrippa missions. Go to Mars and chat with the relevant npc's there for what missions are available and where. [/quote] Been there done that. The only thing i can do with the tokens on my PP is trade them in or break them down for other tokens or sell them. The PP NPC Coligiata Nota (sp) has no other offer for the privateer. When I say I have spent hours, I really mean hours, exploring every conceivable NPC at all associated with progens on every station, in every sector, and by all my characters. An oddity that has just arisen on my pw is via agrippa weapons build stage II. it references me to "obtain a device" by ripping a shield. This mission was not available when I posted my original post last month from the NPC and it doesn't greate any mission in the log either.... just says to bring the device. I should, and probably will just level up a newbie progen now that all of the hull upgrade missions are available and complete the agrippa technology via that manner. But the most confusing at this time is the roadblock the pp and comp method he is experiencing. The point of my posts are not to complain about this or that, but to make sure that B understands what it looks like, how they preform, and what a player deals with in doing his missions. It is for clarity sake and nothing else. The level of confusion, from a long experienced Baykhee mission participant, is perplexing. it may simply be limitations that are the result of the parameters of the code and game, if so, then there has got to be an alternative source of information that helps explains these missions, the tokens, the symbols, and such. Perhaps add an NPC that has each mission chat tree, accessible for a fee or something, that can show a player what missions they have done, can do, and are unable to do. The information is already being processed by the game engine when the various NPCs of agrippa deny or grant access to their specific lines. Just a thought.

Do the mission tokens have any practical value or are they relics of past and left behind missions? According to the information on them, it would seem that they could be used to do the lower level missions that are now in place, but they don't do anything that I can tell. I won't pretend to know how complicated the coding is, but it would seem that would be a good work-around for acquiring the Agrippa skills. edit: My PP did the component mission and has exchanged a number of encryption authorizations for Stage II encryption (have 24 i've traded to the NPC), but there is nothing more being offered by any NPC except the same trade in mission and the note on the trade in mission (step 4/7) says to forfeit it and refer to the actual mission that I am on. But, there is no other mission. Despite max build skills in components, weapons, shields, and reactors, every other NPC refers me to Architecti Inquero for Stage II examination. Architecti Inquero gives me the same statement that she gives my PW about not meeting requirements. Yet, because of the the additional way to get into this via components, she ends the talk tree when I try to follow it. I am assuming it is because I have completed this and have (as noted above) crafted the encryption authorizations for Archetecti Compista. I am stumped at this point. The entry via components is either so confusing that I have missed something or is not functioning. I have spent hours upon hours trying to locate items, obtain missions (var's) and still I have nothing to show for it on any of three progens except 24 Stage II authorizations and a repeatable mission that tells me to forfeit it half way thru and refer to some mission that I can not obtain or find. To say I am frustrated wouldn't be doing service to what I am experiencing. Also Var has nothing for any of my Progens.

That was a hard crash, don't expect it to be up right away. Dev's gonna have to debug and figure out why it happened. edit...... most likely

It was good fun, Kenu. I do have a question regarding the crashes/lag. What can we do to correct it. I, like many, always assumed my lag i live was because of the crappy computers and even worse connections, but after today, I am wondering if it isn't something to do with the game?

i think we crashed the sector! lol

[quote name='Byakhee' timestamp='1341199623' post='59986'] Capture the cargo mission (repeatable one) still gives out Symbol of Loyalty. In fact most* 'generic' missions at the end of the token lines may* give out a symbol of loyalty. My main concen at the moment is trying to make the NPCs more helpful for these convoluted missions. It is a rather tight cage of code I have to wrap these NPCs in, pleasantries have to be removed! * but not all, and may/maynot depend on faction... [/quote] Var's got nothin for my pw, nor any othe npc that I can find. My pp picked up one from var, i think, bout the earth corps makos then bruisers.... i think that ends in capture the cargo. But there isn't a mission I can find for the PW. And, honeestly, Bayk, you know me well enought, I am fine with not being able to pick it up at this point, but there should be a recourse at some point for those that want to go back and do it. It can be ugly nasty and stupid long, but some recourse would be a good idea. Maybe limited to stage II or something. Just my thoughts.

So, a question I have in all this, what options are available to those few progens that are still around that leveled up before HU missions, agrippa technology, and mission tokens were available? Are we to rely on "invites" from those that were able to complete them, scrap characters and reroll, or just not get them? Symbols of Loyalty were used (to obtain Brimstone Ballista, if i am remembering correctly) and it doesn't appear that there is any option for obtaining new ones for examinations. Information on this would be helpful.

As frustrating as it is to not be able to play when we want to play, it also needs to be kept in mind that the Devs have to figure out why the server crashed. That debugging has to take place before the hamsters are jump-started otherwise we're just back here again in a few hours wondering when we can play again.

I wasn't there, but in my time over the last year or two, I've seen very few actual bad actions occur in open chat. When it happens, the community that was on and those that get it related to them has a way of handling it away from message board tough guys. In addition, I have seen bans and perma-bans handed out for the serious offenders. Unless a DEV or a GM sees it, though, in real time, it may take a day or two for the appropriate scree shots to make their way through the system. There is no point to being specific here or calling out someone here, let those that have the authority deal with it. Until then deal with it in game and let the community show their feelings towards offenders.

Screw it T, wipe the bugger! Fresh start, new missions, new opportunities! WIPE! WIPE! WIPE!

Don't mistake absences of some of us "old timers" as having left due to game issues. Many I know that were around since st2/3 like myself just have priorities that don't allow us to play for one reason or another. Sure, there are some that have left because of some of the issues that have occurred. But, there are a whole lot of us that still keep up with the boards on a very regular basis. While we may not be active in gaming, we are watching! I can tell you that if you're unhappy with something, the solution is far better if its handled in private. By doing one of these scorch and burn posts on your way out the door just doesn't reflect well on you. edit..... comments directed to OP.
