I dont know how to multi-quote so to Lain and Grief, I played FF14, got to end game, got bored as with every mmo :) Ideally Wildstar would be out, but its not so :(

FF14 is / was indeed very good tho. Im thinking of just ponying up cash for a new hero in Marvel, I really liked that on release and its supposed to be a lot better now

How to multi-quote : Click quote - Copy everything - Go back - Click the other one you wanna quote - Past everything in it under the first quote

Edit: Too late.

I did the same with FF14. It was an enjoyable two weeks. Game has a lot of issues that even Yoshi-P couldn't fix, though.

Click the + button next to the Quote link. Annoyingly, submitting the reply doesn't automatically deselect the posts, so you have to either do so manually (click the button again) or go to reply in a different thread, at which point you'll be given the option as they're not relevant to the thread.

It does deselect posts if you click Quote on the last post you're multi-quoting. Like, I clicked + on Rhaknar's just now and Quote on yours. I think it only doesn't deselect if you hit Post Reply?

Testing the multi-quote and the new trick. I cannot believe I have never noticed this "plus" symbol and always does the mult-quote by hand.

Edit: Here, when I click "post reply" and do reply, everything is unselected afterwards. The behavior is not the same as the ones you two describe. I am using Firefox 26.

Haha, I missed the boat on the games way back when so I couldn't be more excited. I didn't think my e-mail would actually set something in motion -- I just wanted to be able to say, "Well, at least I tried." With Anno 1404 almost out of the way, I think I'd faint if I caught the King Kong and Tintin apps being updated. :p The former seems more likely to me than the latter as Ubi could just dump the DRM-free build on Steam and call it a day whereas Tintin, being a Uplay game, would need its own individualised instance of the client a la the more recent AssCreed games and presumably that requires a fair bit of work. Needles to say, though, I'd buy both in a heartbeat.

Hard to say. I haven't clicked "post reply" in a long time, but then I haven't had to deselect stuff in a long time either.

Edit: but yeah works fine in Chrome now.

I'll see if I can dig up the support ticket, but basically I just asked for Ubi to do something about the dusty King Kong and Tintin apps, as well as Anno 1404's outdated and somewhat broken build, explaining that there are many others like myself who'd buy them on Steam just for the simple convenience of having them on Steam; also, since I submitted the message as "General Feedback" for Anno 1404, at the end I politely requested that the e-mail be sent to the relevant departments (if the Black Flag retroactive region lock fiasco proved anything it's that there is a ton of red tape within Ubi). The response I received simply said that the message had been sent (to paraphrase) "through the relevant channels".

Edit:
Me said:
Hi,

I would like to see Ubisoft do something with the Tintin and King Kong apps that have been collecting dust in the Steam registry for quite a long time now (see http://steamdb.info/app/202330/ and http://steamdb.info/app/209910/). It would also be nice if you guys finally offered Valve the patches for Anno 1404/Dawn of Discovery so the game could once again be sold on Steam -- they were pulled because of the buggy save system that was present in earlier versions; as there are two separate apps that need to be maintained (Anno for the US and Dawn of Discovery for Europe), nobody at Ubisoft ever bothered and due to complaints, the game was pulled from sale. Addressing the latter is arguably easier than the former since it's literally just a matter of updating the builds that already exist on Steam, whereas with Tintin and King Kong there's also the matter of creating store pages.

There are many others like me who would buy the Steam versions of the aforementioned games simply because they're on Steam and ignoring the service as far as those titles are concerned isn't exactly financially prudent. I realise I'm just going to get a canned response, but if you could nonetheless forward these concerns to the relevant people, that would be great.

Thanks.

Anno 1404 received its currently-password-locked beta update five weeks later, while King Kong and Tintin are still as motionless as ever.

I hope they have a Ubisoft rep on twitter to make that easier.

GAF should really bring back the last unread post for the desktop pages.

I didn't like all the fate grinding in ff14, I liked the dungeons and bosses but didn't really want to spam them to level up either, so I got 2 jobs to 50 and quit, and plus, the subscription money could get me like 2 games and I'd rather play those instead, lol.

When it comes to splinters and you have less than 3 Heroes... go buy a random with that splinters.
Click to expand...

was real money related... somehow i had 650g in my account, did they hand out Gs when I was away? Ended up buying 500g for 4euros and bought Emma Frost, the mind control gimmick is kinda smart, I assume that you cant MC bosses (didnt work on Black Cat at least), but you can MC those clones that spawn during Mr.Sinister fight, and everyone MCs the cyclops clone for the emma/cyke pairing? :p

Also the game doesnt start in that prison level thing anymore? it just dumped me in some bank robbery mission

edit: Emma Frost's mind control is hilarious, think im happy with my purchase

To add to this, I wonder if there's a way that modbot could accept people's votes? It could work in a similar way to how raffles work now by collating all the entries, although it's probably require a lot more work than is worthwhile to sort through them afterwards. Just a thought on how it could be less time consuming for whoever' doing the vote counting (but more effort for stump I suppose). At the least it could accept 5 lines with a game on each, then just send the full list of votes with rankings to whoever compiles it?

Anyone ever had this happen to them before on Amazon?

I've revised my payment method thrice now and it should be working just fine. They said it would only take a few hours.

Are you sure your bank didn't block the transactions? If it's a debit card I'd also ensure you have enough money in the source account.

Your credit card company may have flagged your card for potential suspicious activity, which prevents payment from going through. If this is the case you'll need to call your bank. Multiple small purchases over a short period of time that are outside your usual spending patterns tend to trigger this.

I had this last year, my bank blocked the transactions. Had to ring them to sort it.
