Cyrus you can't math rng some people make more some people make less

You could make a reasonable educated guess based on their level.

# is a hash >.<

 

£ is a pound!!! O.o

Silly Mister Doom. Sounds like you need some cookies. 

*runs*

Tried to invite a guest# new player from their profile.. It only added 'guest' to the invite which doesn't work for that player you were trying to invite.. The invite link in the profile has to put their guest# too..

The problem is the pound sign (#) has special meaning when it's used in HTML/Javascript/URLs. When the Guest#123456 stuff first happened, they couldn't be buffed either. A dead account named simply "guest" was the target of all the buffs, due to every thing from # and after was ignored. Instead of simply removing the # from the temporary names, the target buff code was rewritten to use the player id (all numbers) instead of name (where the # symbol resides in the temp names). The same thing should happen on the guild invite code. Or, as I suggested at the time, just drop the # from the temp names, and call them Guest123456. Alternatively, if they want a name that players cannot choose, in order to avoid the rare chance of possible duplicates, use an underscore (_) or dash (-) instead. Those are characters players cannot put in their names themselves, and therefore could not create a name that would cause a duplicate with a system-created temporary name, but shouldn't interfere with the code for buffing, inviting, etc.

While I'm writing about it, why do those accounts get called "guest" anyway? They are not a guest. The moment they create an account, they are a player. So, in my opinion, if you want to set a temporary name, they should be "Player123456" or "Player_123456". Simply calling them a "player" instead of a "guest" gives a sense of belonging, rather than a temporary stay. Additionally, they should receive a log message or have a little pop up thingy during the tutorial, which tells them how to change their name to their permanent name.

I think HCS should be working on other more important things like finishing that epic quest, or brining in PvP season. Not minor things that don't matter too too much.

Throwing in a 5-minute tweak here and there to improve little things isn't going to affect the long-term schedule of the other things that they're doing, but has the benefit of showing us they still care while we wait for the big stuff.

Frags! 

It's not a massive deal, I mean there are so many frag events these days that people don't even need to frag farm.

Not true; I stopped leveling my composing (again) probably a month ago due to a shortage of commons. I see it as counter-productive to spend stamina to just hunt commons for leveling composing, so when I get very low, I just pause making the throw-away potions. I can make some nice potions already at my level, so I see no need to use stamina to keep leveling to composing EOC.

Do you remember when random amazing common/rare items were actually useful?

Yes. Sometimes I go back and look at my really old gear setup screenshots and laugh at the "junk" I wore. 

I prefer being able to see my player. But good job thinking creatively.

Zoom out, and you can see your player. What the OP is talking about is when you're zoomed out to see the whole map, and you center the map in your screen, but then as you move, the whole map moves around even though you can see the whole map. So it's silly to have the map move around you; when you're zoomed out, it can just sit still and quit messing with your eyes.

Are you still looking for the fire witch gloves?

Yes.

For larger frying pans you should use a 5 1/4" floppy drive but good luck finding one of those - surely Tom is to blame there too.

I've got one of those in my closet, so Tom gets a reprieve on this one. 

You receive a recipe during the quest which makes this happen.

Updated.

For the sign-in, you'll be able to get the app to save your details so you don't have to enter your info each time (unless you want to of course)

I think what was actually meant by the original question (at least, how I interpreted it, and I'm curious about this too), is not "can login details be saved so you just click login?", but instead "do you have to log in each time because you can only be logged into a single device?".

For example: User is logged in on their desktop computer. User goes into the kitchen and logs in on their cell phone to continue their guild chat. User goes back to their desktop... do they have to click login again, or is guild chat still flowing there as if they never touched their phone?

Basically, be able to be signed into multiple devices like we used to be able to, before the security stuff was put in to "protect" us from ourselves when scammers were conning login details from users with phishing messages.

When I am on my festive mount I don't lose my head but I do lose my hair and it's just a wee disconcerting, lol.   Please fix, thanks

I noticed that too. The horse is lovely, but I look really weird with that hairdo. 

Updated.

If an item is bound to a player, it is not guild-taggable.

In regards to your Aether Earth Rune, originally [very briefly] they were not player bound, and so some guilds may have tagged some during that time. However, then it was changed to be player bound (so that the player has to actually do all the steps in the quest, instead of just grabbing a pre-made rune from the guild store), so it is possible to see what you see. It was first guild tagged, and then it was made bound by the devs.

Those look pretty neat.

Thank you HCS for the lovely tray of goodies! 

Merry Christmas to you too! Enjoy your holiday!

Eeek! So much stuff, so little stamina. 

Thanks for the new stuff, Grim.

Small bug: The two new Xmas quests do not have the "(Xmas)" designation at the end of them like the other ones for "The Forest of Yule" area do.

Having the quests tagged with the event name like that make it easier when looking at the seasonal quest book to see what you're lacking for each event, and also to search for them in the Guide.

Jolakott (Titan)

 

Jolakott is a titanic tabby cat that prowls the Forest of Yule. He belongs to the giant Ogress Granny Jeze and with her hatred of the Yule Time instilled into him, Jolakott is stalking the forests in search of any and all revellers to messily devour!

Very very cute art!   I don't think I could kill this guy. He's probably just grumpy because he's stuck outside and it's so cold! I'll leave the barn door open for him to come in and warm up. It's a hay barn, so no worries about animals inside that he might eat before he gets un-grumpy. And yes, it is a gigantic barn, more like a hangar.
