			·         Players who have 2-Step Verification on their account will get a new, unique Mount in their Account Inventory. This special edition Retroblade can be claimed and used by any character level 15 or above for as long as 2-Step Verification is active on an account.	
----
			Yay!	
----
			thats it? Also, any word when you will allow faction changes? I HATE the exiles	
----
			90 minutes for a mount.  ??  ????  I'm sure there's more involved.  XD	
----
			
Awesome, does the Retroblade come with an Esper dps buff?  :ph34r:
 
 	
----
			I can't imagine 90 minutes for just a mount.  I am sure they are getting a server reset in before the weekend.  But i'm hoping they update that list.	
----
			I hope you ninja fix Western Grimvault, considering you made it impossible to finish the area a downtime or two ago.	
----
			Since I can already get a uniblade mount, can I get a reskinned version of the Exile's motorcycle mount? They get the "unique" mount model, and we get a reskinned version of our own mount we can already get. I mean I appreciate a unique skinned mount, but I feel like there's a difference between reskinned mount and unique model.	
----
			i would also like to know when and if pve to pvp server transfer will ever be possible

10 out of 12 replies complaining about the fact they just gave everyone free stuff, for doing what they should already be doing (protecting their accounts) anyway...
 
Seriously folks, you're crabbing about them doing good things?  Account protection is good.  A free mount is good.  Stop complaining for a second and accept it with silence at least, if you can't say anything nice.
 
 
 
Carbine, thank you very much for this update.  It's appreciated by this player, at least.

To be fair, the problems with Espers are almost exclusively the control of the Esper class dev (whoever that is). Someone should trawl through it and find his name to call him out. Clearly he isn't doing what he's paid for.
 
Perhaps he's been fired and they're trying to find a replacement? If not, it's possible he should be...
 
I play Engi, and we have all sorts of wacky bugs, but they're no where near game breaking. We can tank , and we can sure as shit do good dps (bolt caster synergy still needs a nerf imo), so I'm happy enough.
Espers I feel very very sorry for. Your class dev has let you down for month(s) now.

			I Agree 100% love it yum ^_^

			I was so pumped to read the patch notes.  I mashed the button and as the page loaded I was sad again, now I know what bipolar feels like.  ^^ THANKS CARBINE #1 10/10

			Ok thank you. Wasn't sure the exact time it went down and my time zone is different. Mount looks neat.

General Database overhauling and cleaning, maybe another botter banwave(let's hope so).

Happy to get our new mounts...
 
but seriously folks... of course there's more reasons than just that for the 90-min maintenance. Even the best servers need to be restarted once in a while to clear things out. Quit bitching because you lost an hour and a half in the middle of the night when most of you should be sleeping anyways... >>	
----
			Looks like we came up a bit early, hop in and claim your new mount for having 2FA on your account. If you haven't already signed up for 2FA, do it now!	
----
			@devs i would suggest to use websites like timeanddate.com for planing maintainces so that people who arent at the timezone that you are can see it on there timezone automatically. its been used by a lot of companies and i think its a good way :)

			As amusing as such rewards are, I suspect if the xp boost and such weren't enough already, not many more people will do it just because you added a mount. But it would be nice to be proven wrong.

Great suggestion, it's always tough to try to accommodate everyone's timezone so we try to by having PDT and UTC, adding a link to auto convert for folks isn't hard to do so we'll consider it for future notices.

			@Raijinn could you tell us something about the AMD opt? I know its a hard work but we bearly heard anything so far. You guys promised a patch about it, but still nothing. Or it was the CPU core disabling one? Or at least ask someone from that department to give us some info. Please :) Thank you!

uhh so will there be an other patch with bugfixes and stuff this week? like not having a telegraph while hold to cast is active for espers is kinda big...

Faction change would also require race change dude. At that point your just maintaining your level and class and making an entirely different character. So just idk, make a new character.

			Raijinn could you confirm the Decor items not being usable outside of your housing plot (to get them in your decor inventory) is an actual bug and not a feature? Its bugging the hell out of me and Im sure many others...

			Thank Carbine.

I believe this investigation is still ongoing, the CPU core disabling was part of the efforts to see (if I recall correctly), but again, ongoing work to be done.

Sometimes that's hard and easy to mix up, I think we all do it at times as well. If a link is something that we can provide to make things a bit easier and it converts to your native time zone, sure we'll consider it.

I did not get any of the items.... no mount, no cybernatic eye patch (or what ever it is called)
 
Yes I do have 2- Step Verification... What now?:p	
----
			SO 90 minutes for a land mount that about 70% of he population won't use over hoverboards? How about some info on when you guys are fixing the drop rate for trigger fingers besides we're looking into it which you guys said had been fixed last big patch which it wasn't, or the many many other problems still remaining since release?

Ranting about timezones and mounts while there are players rerolling or quitting cause the classes they want to play are not competitive.
 
Tell us something about important changes.

			That was *not* all that was updated. I noticed the Mount Vendor, who was selling Expert Riding License for 76 platinum if you were Beloved with your main faction, is now selling it once more for 80 platinum. You and your stealth nerfs. Jerks.

			When will the loot update for dungeon/ adventure medals come online ?

This...really? Like someone else said, a mount that 70% (probably higher but whatever) of the playerbase won't use for various reasons was the only thing changed?
 
Don't get me wrong, Widow has needed a restart for at least 6 days, with bugged mobs and objects all over the daily areas and grimvault slowing daily quests to a *cupcake* crawl. But with so many things needing attention, and this was all you guys could line up since a week ago?
 
This is not helping player confidence in you guys, I'll tell you that.

 Regarding the timezone confusion and easy fix that I used was to simply add an extra timezone clock to your existing time/calender display in the toolbar on the bottom right of the screen, assuming your using windows(most versions have this i believe). Just right click and go to adjust date and time, then select the additional clocks tab and add a clock for the server time that you play on. Now you will have your local time and server time viewable right next to each other on mouseover so it makes for easy timezone conversion.
 
 
 As for botters that are teleporting around, can the coordinates sytem be utilized here to catch them? I mean it already tracks each of us individually I believe as it it constantly accurate of your location if I remember correctly. Well if player, scratch that...   if Botter  X  is at coordinate  Y at a certain time then all the sudden travels to coordinate Z  in less than a second or two and coordinate Z is obviously farther than could possibly be traveled even with the maxed out riding skill and boots with speed on them... wouldnt this pretty much spot the botters instantly ?  Essentlially there has to be a way, if not already known, to distinguish the most coordinate points per second that could possibly be traveled by legitimate means.  Anyhow just my thoughts on a possibly way to automate catching them to ease the need of manpower to do so.  But hey I am no programmer by any means so maybe this cannot be done.
 
 Ok thanks for the hard work Carbine! Love the game, even when it's difficulty sets fire to my very soul at times! Everyone needs a good ass kicking from time to time, especially since WoW decided to casualize the MMO scene to the point of everyone developing the lone wolf mentality where they believe they no longer need community or a team to progress! Guilds then became filled with a bunch of turds who no longer desired to work together but instead step on one another to progress, only raiding mutually during raid time and back to hating one another when raid time was up(except maybe a few)... Hopefully the difficulty here will re-ignite that need for team work! the raiding environment was such a different thing before this just listen to some of the VoiP's  from old school 40 man raids and compare to the  10s and 25s ... hopefully we will get to experience that again!!!! I mean not even in IRL do we get to go and blow shit up with 39 other ppl with similar goals, or at least not in my experience.  Ok out of text bricks to finish this wall!!!

Was really praying for the optimization for AMD CPUs that was aimed for this week. Starting to notice a disturbing trend of blaming things needing to go through "QA" as to being the logic behind why they're constantly delayed. Is this an attempt to compensate for so many bugs getting through in the first place? Even fixes such as changing pricing are having to go through quality assurance, apparently.
 
Oh well, another day of disappointment, I guess.
 
Hopefully this maintenance at least fixed the server issues....

			There is a quest in Galeras called "A Helping Hand" where you need to heal injured Exile soldiers in order to get progression %. There is a bug with that quest where you can only get progression if you interract with the body with two or more people, and only one of those people will get credit for healing that particular person. So maybe a hotfix for that or has it already been taken care of?

Sorry, allow me to translate this.
 
"Dear Sir and/or Madam,
 
I am not in possession of an Apple or Android based mobile communication device. Sadly, the authentication program appears to be only available for these two types of devices. As my own machine is of the Nokia LUMIA variety, which runs on Windows, I find myself at a loss at what to do to protect my account and avail myself of this wonderful opportunity for a new mount. I contacted people with the knowledge to help me in my endeavour to right this wrong without purchasing a new phone, and sadly they were only able to give me a link to an installation doohickey. This riled me up something mighty.
 
Sincerely,
Windows Phone User"
 
 
Anyway, I'm in the same boat. I'd like some more security on my account, but I don't have the correct type of phone. Also I tend to forget where my phone is and lose it for weeks on end, but that's a problem on the user end.

Are people seriously complaining about free stuff?  The announcement two days ago said we were getting a free mount for having 2-factor.  The patch notes today say we are getting the new mount.  Carbine did what they said they would in this case, nothing more and nothing less.  Bug fixes will come when they come, sheesh.  Just say thanks and move along instead of looking the gift horse in the mouth.
 
Oh and thanks for the mount, it's cool.

Another layer of security that isn't worth crap since it's on the same system. If someone compromises your computer, WinAuth is also compromised. In 2FA it makes sense to have the 2nd factor on a different device...  But I agree in that it will help people w/o Android/iOS stuff get their boni and the mount.

If your entire computer is compromised you have far bigger problems than your Wildstar account.  You realize that account thefts usually in a far majority of cases have nothing to do with your actual computer being "hacked" right?  I mean if someone has total remote access to your computer I highly doubt they are going to steal your Wildstar loot.  I would be more concerned with calling my bank account and fixing all the actual financial damage that will likely be done.  Think this through.

			Just a heads-up for those who expect to get the new mount in the mail: I thought the same thing, but found it in my account inventory. I very well may have gotten it sooner, but I was too zeroed in on waiting on it to be mailed to me. oops :)

While this is true, WinAuth on the same computer still defeats the purpose of 2FA. You are right that RMT hackers normally get their access in other ways (hacking the account, not the computer). But they also are not shy of exploiting your system's weaknesses when you visit their web site and automatically download a trojan that in fact grants access to the whole of your computer.
 
Also, if anyone is stupid enough to store their banking TANs and PINs on their computer, well...

			no fix for sub classes? The cooldowns of back in the fray and such?? No fix for mortar skills and bot AI's for engineer? My bot's are pretty much bugged, Artillery bot is the most ninja bot you can ever see, even in passive its pulling everything! Bruiser bot cannot taunt most of the time.

There are SOOO many more things to be done before considering this a "good thing."  Account protection is great!  For those who have access to a smart phone.  For those who don't have a smart phone, like me, don't have access to the 2 step verifcation or its many perks...one of which is an experience buff and now a free mount.  Cool I am glad you are getting a free mount...but there are already mounts in the game.  What about all the bugs left over from before strain, and all of the bugs created because of strain?  yes they have different teams doing different things, blah blah blah.  But when I click on patch notes expecting to see some shit being fixed and its not, I get really irritated.

these phoney power leveling services who are not there to power level but to hack using their accounts.... Ban them... Ban them all, a free mount will not solve your problems, only an iron fist

no fix for sub classes? The cooldowns of back in the fray and such?? No fix for mortar skills and bot AI's for engineer? My bot's are pretty much bugged, Artillery bot is the most ninja bot you can ever see, even in passive its pulling everything! Bruiser bot cannot taunt most of the time. Aint no need for mount when cant farm properly with my own class.

Thank you for the freebies, take your time with the fixes - I'd rather have a fix thoroughly tested month later than broken fix today. And to all the complaining plebs - I'm ashamed I'm of the same species as you.
 
Also, being one of the AMD crowd - Give a shot to new 14.7 beta drivers (released yesterday) they got some wildstar related optimizations and I can attest they improve the overall experience a bit - and every bit helps :)

Are people seriously complaining about free stuff?  The announcement two days ago said we were getting a free mount for having 2-factor.  The patch notes today say we are getting the new mount.  Carbine did what they said they would in this case, nothing more and nothing less.  Bug fixes will come when they come, sheesh.  Just say thanks and move along instead of looking the gift horse in the mouth.
 
Oh and thanks for the mount, it's cool.

Yup, as a programmer for 15 years, i watched bad programmers day in and day out, write their solutions without testing them as they are developed, sit thre and write a whole program without even running it, with no ability to sit and think outside the box.... So bugs bugs bugs... Not only bugs, but created in such a way, you can't alter them without doing complete rewrites...
When i coded anything, it was procedural based, and it worked, and it still works today and all those problems never existed, because I THOUGHT about them and the externals before starting and continually while writing.... But that is a lost cause today.. hence why you get what you get... It took me 20% longer per program, but actually saved months of time and millions of dollars... Dunno what happened to the world, but that kind of programming has disappeared.. hence why soon nuclear reactors will be exploding in our near futures.
 
When you test your software as you write it.... you actually learn about the hiccups or more needs as they arise, which is what causes a bit more time, but it's 10 times better, its 100 times more secure, its 200% experience and you wont be going back to edit it again... which is the time saver

I don't mean to be rude but if the person is using a Windows Phone they have a perfectly working authenticator in the store.

(was in response to the question about PvE->PvP transfers)
 
Hey Raijinn - not to be "that guy" or anything, but I would definitely hold some roundtable quick training with your CS team on what the status/plans are for things like this. I submitted a ticket about PvE->PvP (transfer reversal, actually - from a transfer that I had done), and asked about waiting it out or what I should do after the response was given, and this is what I was told:
 
Hi there,
To answer your first question, there are plans to make PvP to PvE available in the future. However, there is not an ETA on when that might happen, which is why we've removed that detail from the store page.
 
So that's the first thing. Secondly, in the form response that I *first* got before that, it said this:
 
Please note that Paid Realm transfers are not currently available from PvE to PvP or vice versa, though this option may be added in the future. Additionally, due to high populations, some realms are not open for incoming transfers. You can find an updated list of restricted realms here:
 
The "or vice versa" part isn't true. PvP to PvE is definitely allowed. A ton of my friends did it and that's what my ticket was about.
Just trying to help keep the messaging consistent. And I for one, defintely would love you to open up PvE->PvP transfers. Even for 2x the cost.  Is there a technical reason why it can't happen? Not sure we heard why yet?
Thanks!

I believe the issue many are having is that their classes have had bugs and issues for many months now (yes, since beta), and not seeing fixes yet is frustrating.  There are also many other problems creeping into the game lately with quests breaking constantly, lag spikes that are making some areas of the game unplayable, etc.  So, when we're told there's a patch, people start to hope and pray their issues are being resolved and to see a note or two on it. When that doesn't happen, well, it can really ruin your enjoyment of the game one has paid for.
 
 
 
Carbine, I'll add my frustration here: Why the silence lately? There have been serious lag issues the last few days and world/story quests breaking, not to mention scientist dailies breaking... it would be nice to see that you guys are still "listening", because at this point, I certainly haven't seen squat from you guys on the forums, Twitter or FB.

To be fair, the problems with Espers are almost exclusively the control of the Esper class dev (whoever that is). Someone should trawl through it and find his name to call him out. Clearly he isn't doing what he's paid for.
 
Perhaps he's been fired and they're trying to find a replacement? If not, it's possible he should be...
 
I play Engi, and we have all sorts of wacky bugs, but they're no where near game breaking. We can tank , and we can sure as shit do good dps (bolt caster synergy still needs a nerf imo), so I'm happy enough.
Espers I feel very very sorry for. Your class dev has let you down for month(s) now.

Another layer of security that isn't worth crap since it's on the same system. If someone compromises your computer, WinAuth is also compromised. In 2FA it makes sense to have the 2nd factor on a different device...  But I agree in that it will help people w/o Android/iOS stuff get their boni and the mount.

Hey,
 
With regards to the Lag Spikes, it's a pretty tricky situation as not every user is experiencing it and it strikes at random times. So it's hard to really collate information.
 
That said, the team at Carbine is investigating and trying to figure out if there's a common cause. Basically, "we're working on it, but don't have much info to share".
 
With regards to certain broken quests, if there are specific ones that you want answers on, let me know and I will chase those up. We've already fixed a ton of these in previous patches, but as new Quests are introduced then there's always the chance for older ones to break in new ways etc.
 
Sorry you haven't seen more posts in the forums, that's something we're trying to work on.

First off, I use the verification. Secondly, thank you for the mount it'll be useful for alts who don't have one.
 
However you guys probably could get more people to use the verification saving both you and the player headaches by using something other than a reskinned mount. You already have at least two mounts that are ridden during the game already that aren't being sold. The Lopp caravan beast and the Chocobos (Scientist can ride this babies on farside). 
 
So thank you for the extra bonus, now let's see some bug fixes you lazy six toed sloths.

I'm going to echo in.  This has all been said, but I need to put it into my own words:I get that bots, "hacked" accounts, and abuse bans are a huge issue, and that increasing two-factor usage will help.  I'm not sure if throwing a mount at people is going to do what you hope it does, but I hope I'm wrong; I'm sure those preventable issues are taking an unacceptable amount of your devs' attention...
 
But I'm an esper, and I heal.  It's a crappy feeling to have a core gameplay feature broken for weeks in an MMO.  I love you guys, and I'm not going to quit over this.  What you've built is too beautiful, too immersive, and too fun for me to throw it out over temporary bugs like this.  I'm not going to accuse you of having time management issues because I work in development and I get it.  I do hear voices from the forum, reddit, and IRC complaining that our class doesn't seem to get dedicated dev attention like some of the others, and I don't know if that's true.
You've shown that you listen:  Please keep doing that.You've earned lots of loyalty:  Please don't take it for granted.I won't tell you how to handle my class or how to fix your bugs.  I've probably said enough here.I've told lots of people you're amazing.  Please keep showing me I was right.Thanks again,Trwyth

First I want to give a genuine thank you for the mount.  I like the grungy used-tech look of it.  Most pleased.  More pleased at the fact I haven't misplaced my phone since starting 2 factor auth.  Cheers to unintended bonuses!
 
But I also want to voice a bit of disappointment at many of the bugs that weren't addressed this week. Largely because, a week ago, in this thread: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/90902-soothe-telegraph-display-issue-when-hold-to-continue-casting-is-enabled/ it was stated that it'd be a weekly update in which these issues with the Esper telegraphs would be addressed, and I suppose many people got their hopes up.  We know now it will be another week at the very least before these bugs affecting gameplay will be sorted out.  Hopes up, and all.  And it's largely because these bugs do so greatly impact people's experience of the game.  You've created something I've (we as a whole? I don't know who I can really speak for) fallen in love with, and I want my new toy to work correctly.  I also hope phrasing it that way-- new toy metaphor and all-- kinda frames my intent here.  Personally, I'd rather see more fixes than new stuff, at least for a while, but that's me, and I can see the value of pushing 2 factor auth as hard as you have for many reasons.

			Guys, It doesnt go to your BAG INVENTORY it goes to your ACCOUNT INVENTORY. Go to the bottom left of your UI. There is a button you click to pull up different features of the game. Then scroll to the top where it says "account inventory" Then you can scroll through the free stuff you have recieved from Carbine to your ACCOUNT. It does not go to your bags inventory. Please share this info so people stop checking their bag inventory and then coming here to say its broken.

			Why do you force people who arent idiots to add a *cupcake*ing authenticator? I've never used any of that crap and I've never been "hacked" or had my account stolen. If you are not retarded it will not happen to you.

			So this should go without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway. For those of us who are suffering the lag spikes leveling progress is effectively halted. Many people in chat are reporting similar troubles. I am not having problems with any other applications, and haven't had lag problems with Wildstar until this week. I hope the devs are taking this issue seriously, because the players who are experiencing it certainly are.

actually in order to use winauth on someone else computer you would need to take full control over it. Gold sellers only put in keyloggers that log what you type.

Exactly I love this game I do and it is the only worthy MMO of being played, but there have been bugs in the game since early access started that remain going into almost 6 weeks of being live. Yes I understand it's still new and stuff takes time to fix etc etc, but now they're bringing out new content that WILL need to be fixed and now apparently there is like a whole new zone or something on the PTR which means when it drops all fixes will be focused on that new content once again passing by or ignoring the stuff that has been broken by that point for 8 weeks.
 
I bet ESO would have had this fixed by now, to bad I the elder scrolls series.
----
			Ok, since the patch/restart today I'm having no lag issues on either toon. Perhaps a classic resource management problem that gets worse the longer a server is running? I have no real data to work with, but there also appears to be much lower population right now in the zones I'm playing (compared to previous sessions). This may be a factor too. Or it could be serendipity;)

If Vyndetta is on Exile side like I am, he/she is probably having problems with the "Helping Hands" quest.  It's been broken since the Strain drop and we regularly get people asking about it in zone chat.  The bug works in such a way that the only way to complete it is to come behind the person healing the NPC and heal while they are healing.  The second person will get credit but the first will not.

			If you're looking at specific bugged quests, look at Analysis: Crystal Healing (I think that's the name), it's the scientist daily quest in Northern Wastes.  Each crystal can only be scanned once, ever.  Meaning you can get 2.5 days worth of quests done then can never, ever, do it again.  Even the server maintenance didn't fix it.

Thanks a lot Carbine, I think that advertising this new mount is a great incentive for players to get the two step verification.  I really hope that it increases the number of players using it, and in turn decreases hackers in the game. I think its great that people who already have the 2step will get the mount too.
 
I also want to add that, like all games, this one is not without it’s faults. It seems to me at least, that Carbine is putting in a great deal of effort in trying to solve these issues. I would imagine that creating and sustaining an MMO is an enormous task and it takes a lot of time and energy. I can appreciate the fact that people get annoyed when a certain issue is not fixed, but I don’t think it's fair to rudely point it out every time a patch comes out. I don’t think certain people understand that most issues/bugs can not be fixed overnight. I’m not saying that these problems should not be brought to the dev’s attention, but if you already filed a ticket, there's no reason in my opinion to post about it every time a new patch rolls out, or to just start rambling off everything you think needs to be corrected immediately with the game. If someone points out an issue they have, it would be nice for them to at least  acknowledge that we were given a free mount, instead of just complaining.
 
“What the hell! Why didn’t you fix (insert issue),  (insert sarcastic remark)!”

With regards to certain broken quests, if there are specific ones that you want answers on, let me know and I will chase those up. We've already fixed a ton of these in previous patches, but as new Quests are introduced then there's always the chance for older ones to break in new ways etc.

A minor note (not really a complaint) is that a fair few of the Architecture daily missions are bugged. Not in a way that prevents completion, but the quest log "Get X of Y" is often incorrect. One example I can think of is in Deradune, where the quest tracker tells you to craft 3 metal platforms (I think), but when you craft a metal platform the quest completion does not go up.
 
 
While both the quest log and quest accept window list it as requiring metal platforms, the completion in fact goes up with creating bramble patches.
 
Not a major thing, as it IS possible to work around some with guesswork and common sense. Although some require some stabbing in the dark. Off the top of my head, I don't have a list of which crafting quests are bugged. I assume this is also an issue for other crafts, too. I assume it isn't a major technical issue, just some text errors.
 
It's not gamebreaking, it doesn't stop people levelling or finishing a zone. It's just mildly irritating.

			Woop :b

			Actually I just find it funny that my account bound hover boards can't be used till 25 but what is essentially a  futuristic motorcycle is usable at 15. Not complaining! :P	
----
			How come the tooltip for this mount calls it a "Run-Down Uniblade Mount"?

Another layer of security that isn't worth crap since it's on the same system. If someone compromises your computer, WinAuth is also compromised. In 2FA it makes sense to have the 2nd factor on a different device...  But I agree in that it will help people w/o Android/iOS stuff get their boni and the mount.

You dont get the Point. Win Auth isnt the Recommend Programm ... so if anything get wrong with it, they wont help u anyways.
 
Maybe u get Busted anytimes for using a 3d Party Programm ?

You can encrypt the data file WinAuth uses so that it not only can not be used by anyone without the passphrase, it also, cannot be decrypted on any other machine.
 
Don't throw something away like WinAuth without understanding how it works.

			'Client server does not match Login server' issue has reared it's ugly head again....New Zealand player.

I'm not throwing away anything. I'm just saying 2FA authentication should be used with 2 devices to really make use of the increased security. If your system is taken over, the passphrase you spoke of could be captured.

Even IF they manage to get your passcode for winauth they would have to open YOUR winauth and that involves hacking in to your computer directly. Most people cant do that it takes someone skilled, and gold sellers wont go through that trouble instead they will go for those who make up reasons not to use winauth or 2step.

			Just posting a reminder, i managed to catch this thread about 2 pages in when the servers came back up and had a nice argument with someone about 2step. sadly most people do not listen or bother reading the first 3 pages. so posting a reminder never hurts.	
----
			The zone quest 'Helping Hands' in Galeras is broken.  While you are able to heal the soldiers on field, no credit is given.	
----
			How about addressing the OPTIMIZATION for a change? People have only opened hundreds of threads regarding it, your facebook page is always being asked about it, your twitch streams bans people who ask. Lets hear something?	
----
			Love mounts!I havent gotten mine tho.Armath - EU Eko	
----
			This has got to be the most interactive Carbine post I've ever seen. Nice job to the staff for replying so actively this time around.

SO 90 minutes for a land mount that about 70% of he population won't use over hoverboards? How about some info on when you guys are fixing the drop rate for trigger fingers besides we're looking into it which you guys said had been fixed last big patch which it wasn't, or the many many other problems still remaining since release?

WIndows Phone? If so, "Microsoft Authenticator" is your friend, it works just like all the rest and built by Microsoft.

Sorry, allow me to translate this.
 
"Dear Sir and/or Madam,
 
I am not in possession of an Apple or Android based mobile communication device. Sadly, the authentication program appears to be only available for these two types of devices. As my own machine is of the Nokia LUMIA variety, which runs on Windows, I find myself at a loss at what to do to protect my account and avail myself of this wonderful opportunity for a new mount. I contacted people with the knowledge to help me in my endeavour to right this wrong without purchasing a new phone, and sadly they were only able to give me a link to an installation doohickey. This riled me up something mighty.
 
Sincerely,
Windows Phone User"
 
 
Anyway, I'm in the same boat. I'd like some more security on my account, but I don't have the correct type of phone. Also I tend to forget where my phone is and lose it for weeks on end, but that's a problem on the user end.

I have a Lumia windows phone... I run an android emulator on my desktop and have the google authenticator on there. When I log in, I just load up the emulator, launch the app, and grab my code. No phones or devices involved.
