LMAO, that makes em hard to catch. But you'd jump that high too if I stuck you with a needle.


I think the warp was about 20m previously, but I'm seeing a lot of 80+ warps now. I particularly like the ones that warp 80m while you're sampling them, then despawn before you get there.

I was gonna try before I went to work...


But when I log in and get to the character select screen, all of my character info is missing...


I'll have to hope something changes between now and the time I get home from the eye doctor this evening. I will be thoroughly PISSED if my characters have disappeared...

Read patch notes mate, the questions were all asked and the response seemed to be that the patch notes were pretty much the extent of it. Nothing else has changed except for the cap from my understanding.


Oh yeah, and we can't get in yet.

its all in the patch notes...


you no longer have an artifical cap you cap is your rank cap (10.1x the cost to gain the rank/ colonel is 60,600) you can "donate" 20,000 or 100,000 at a time, on TC 100k bought 1250 fp...I belive the recived amount depends on story arc winners...(controling side gets more)...you "donate" till you reach you cap or the amount you want/need and then spend..or go overt to delegate...no more standing around overt to ..buy, delegate, buy, delegate..ect ect...

I just logged in. The recruiter now gives you a briery option of 100K. It gives you 1250 FP (Imps have no CoA bonus on Kauri) You also have a 20K option (250 FP)


You can buy until you are at your rank cap.

Too sweet... too bad I'm neutral LOL. It'll make it easier to get into the FP business though.

Well...you can still use a macro to buy up to your cap...then you'd have the FP on hand and wouldn't have to worry with a Buy/Delegate macro unless someone wanted to purchase more than 50k FP.


I'll check the new system out when I get home this evening, but I'm assuming my Buy macro will still work as is.


I figure it will take 48 buys to cap me out, and I'd much rather use my macro than to point and click through 48 of those. And my 1.1 second pauses in my buy macro will take less than 3 minutes to reach my 60k cap.

Correct, the menu option did not change, in the final conversationresponse, response 0 now = the 100K/1250 FP.


Oh not sure it really matters to anyone but the ONLY options are now the 100K/1250 and 20K/250 bribes.

It sure would've been nice if they would've given us a bigger cost break on points for spending more credits...like, say, 65-70c/FP instead of 80...


*shrug*


But, with the increased cap, I don't guess I'll complain too much...

btw you can buy faction being covert, or at least i could on test center bria 2 days ago. but couldnt delegate it unless i was overt, so were still going to get ganked by recruter squaters
