PVM all the way
Did FC actually confirm somewhere that the HUD items reset was not intentional? I've only seen one post where they confirmed global research reset was intentional but no followup since then. Ofc i could have missed the relevant post about unintentional HUD item reset in the mish mash of FC official posts on the matter

I'm a Nano-Technician, don't ever expect me to fight unbuffed, alone or fair.
Means: about f'ing time :P
Satenia: heresy <3
Znore: Mastablasta <3
Kinkstaah: I have agro from many mobs ;(
Madarab: we are aoe class, we are supose to use pistols
Marxgorm: the NT toolset does not fit into my raiding tactics
I just took a screenshot on every character to ensure I get it all the way I have it now, won't take to long on each character that way
As for backpacks, that will be a bit more annoying, but it's not like you have to do it all at once, I'm sure fixing things up while you're lft or just chatting shouldn't be that much of a hassle. Open pack, check contents, name properly, repeat ^^

Prefs aren't being broken per se any more than any other patch when they mess with actual GUI features. It's just that all the container IDs are getting changed when they're copied to the new server.
Legacy what? No other game does this either.
That's not really how it works, but whatever. Great. You've warned us. We know what we're doing (even if you don't). Now go away.

Because Race Yalm
City of Heroes saved window sizes & positions, hotbar contents & layouts and chat configuration server-side.
You only needed to do re-adjustments when you switched resolutions, because window sizes were absolute and things nicely placed in a 1920x1200 resolution wouldn't really fit into 800x600
But you could completely re-install the game and find everything as you left it..
And there are other games that save at least some information about your GUI server side. Last time I played WoW, the abilities placed in the various hotbar slots were saved server-side.
Regarding an automatic conversion for the AO preferences ... yeah, I'd like one. I came back to AO four months ago and sorting everything out was unpleasant.
If the pre-merge information is conserved in the migration and each char and bag retains its old ID as additional information, it should be easy to detect when a char logs in for the first time (no "new" prefs exist) and then ask the user if the game should try to convert the old prefs if there are any.
That would be nice for the user^H^H^H^Hcustomer.
No further significant work is expected to be done on this project going forward.

Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "If an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR".
Pretty sure other games remembered server side settings too.
Don't be lonely anymore.
Look at your post, now back at mine. Now back to your post, now back at mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through posts, reading the posts your posts could look like. Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again, my reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.
