I hope they get this figured out cause people will get sick of this real quick and go elsewhere.

It may not sound fair, but in the competitive gaming community, there is little to no room for errors like these.

Come on CoH, I know you got it in ya!... :thumbs:

I'll hang in there with them for one week (until next Friday). If they don't get this ironed out by then,.. then I'm gone.

if they dont get this ironed out by tonite, then im history. no patience left in me for that kind or inadequacy!!:mad:










































well, i thought it over and i may hang around in casehttps://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

I'm so proud... My wife is doing her first TF (Synapse) with Miss D.

No lag, no disconnections so far too, after almost 3 hours in.

She already went up a level too. :D




...while I'm stuck watching SD Gundam Force in the living room because I *make her nervous* when I *scream at her*. :rolleyes:

Things seem to be ironed out. Looks like game on! I'm going to go try out that TV trial now.

Wife's TF Report:


Loved the TF, especially since she was doing it with an exoerienced leader, ILTU.

Levelled almost twice (finished that off solo hunting after) and actually had to drop enhancements during battle (generics, of course) to make room for the DOs.





My turn now. :D

just a little reminder for tonight, suits r on guys. and for those of you who might not have a suit toon, there is a clothes shop called icon in in steel ;) and with exemplar working like it is, there is no real reason why we can't hang out anymore lol.


p.s. in case u haven't caught on ILTU, it'd be cool to see one of ur toons in formal ;)

Yeah ILTU.

Even with a skirt, a business jacket is just excellent looking on a chick. :D

What am I still doing here?!



I'm supposed to be on Protector!

If they would just get it right and quit uploading patches,.. we could ALL be on protector killing stuffs right now. :mad:

I just don't get it. Things were working just swell and now they gotta go and screw it all up with updates, etc. Man,.. I sure hope they fix it. CoH is a great thing and I'd hate to see it crumble to pieces like that.

she didn't have a skirt?? how indecent of her :(

on another note, i'm starting to like the choices i made with this blaster (tankers hate me tho) gives very good crowd "arrest" https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

1. Devices secondary powers are still very useful even after the changes
2. Roentgen Girl looks fine like that. ;)
3. Diver01, that's just a bad case of Murphy's Law in effect. :p
4. It was great fun and hunting last night, even if I would prefer to keep the teams like inept's SG - suits only.
5. Freddy Freezer and Rock Box were really into roleplaying last night. That was cool.
6. Sly Trickster is a punk beeotch who will have to watch out for me now. I should have done the same to him before he quit.

7. I thought teleportation would require confirmation with Issue 2? :confused:
8. There is no item #8
9. I'm adding Trickster to all my toons' lists so I can team up with him again. No one messes with the Suits. :mad:
10. My 9800 Pro rocks. :D

What I miss?

as his name implies. he TPed EE-vil into some bad hydras, just before quitting of course. i think it may be a serious case of suit envy ;)

Not everyone can pull off that classy executive look like we can. I wone der if Trickster ever tried to pick up his own teeth with a broken arm while tumbling down an elevator shaft?

I barely escaped the hydras, but at least the suit is not damaged. Gotta love those unstable molecules Reed Richards came up with for superhero costumes.

I wonder if broadcasting Trickster's punk-bitchiness did anything?

We should do it some more, just to be sure.

Well so much for the freakin patch that fixed all teh hold, sleep issues. Right after a server reboot, I take a mission, go head to head with a boss..

Wrbby warned you guys about this. I prefer to play only with toons that i know and trust. There are some cowardly malicious punks out there and we should stay clear of them because they are trouble.

Anyway,.. I think you DO need confirmation for TP (I've had to confirm it). I think you need to go into your options and set it.

For Bosses that can hold, it's all about Build Up, Aim, Snipe, Bolt, Blast, Boss dead, in that exact order. If snipe misses, immediately run (have your exit planned out ahead of time), wait and recharge, rinse and repeat. If boss is a lvl above you,.. might as well add in a damage, accuracy, and defense inspiration so that you at least stand a 1% chance of survival. :D

Anyway,.. thats how i do it. :)

As far as what to do about malicious users:

1> Have everyone on team send in a petition about the punk. If many people send, the he can't veto it and will be warned.

2> Broadcast the punkazzes name over and over so everyone is aware of who he is.

3> Be sure to add him as a friend. Especially to your higher lvl toons friend list. That lvl 10 punk will get skooled by lvl 26 blaster. I.e.: Find punk toon, "follow" him, and aim on him. This way he can never get any xp and he will be annoyed as all hell. Well unless you have better things to do than revenge of course. :D

4> If you see the punk is following your team around causing trouble,.. run up to him and have your toon "follow" him. I was on a team the other night. This punk kept aggroing The Lost bosses over to us. These bosses were 4 lvls higher than anyone on the team. We survived it. But I announced, "Lets all Follow this guy". So the whole team (about 5-6 of us at the time) went to him and selected to "follow" him. So you got this whole team swarming around this guy following him. He had nowhere to go, and could not escape and finally just gave up. He did manage to escape after about 20 minutes of this, but he did not mess with us again after that. It was funny,... he would aggro, then hide behind a tree. So while we are reaching near death, I could see that peice of crap hiding behind a tree in the distance. I soooo wanted to enable a P2P combat function so I could just obliterate him. Oh well. :D

It asks you when you join a team if you want confirm rez and confirm tp enabled for that team.

I was on as MD this morning for 15 minutes and 2 of the red tatoo men were unable to hold me (only tried 2 times). Maybe the patch to the patch is working.

I was able to solo small mobs of same or +1 levels (3 guy mobs) but one mob with 4 guys (with sorc) overcame me in 2 seconds (I escaped).

I still have yet to see a damned thing come out of the portal in Talos near the train and even at lvl 22 I have problems taking out a mob of lvl 16 ruruuuuuualllrauuuuuuu (whatever the hell they are called) which makes me think twice about taking on a lot of them at my own level should I actually see any in Talos or IP.

I have a theory there. I'm convinced that the devs want large groups or multiple teams working together to close the portals. Kind of a 'we're all in this together' type of situation.

The levels may be mismatched in Talos for the portal-spewed mobs.

Soloing with Stalemate I was walking (OK, superjumping) through Steel Canyon the other day and came across a portal with close to 25 brutes and assorted eyeballs which conned at level 16.

I spent about 30 minutes hunting most of them down and taking out the portal (only one person responded to my bradcasts and requests, but took a look and fled). Damage taken was under 10 points from their attacks at any given time.

Yeah... it pays to read the small print in this case also. :cool:


I like WebHead's proposal of filing complaints to Support about this guy from multiple players.

I'll file mine tonight.



..after I add his name to my other lists so an SK him to Stalemate later on.

BTW, I got a reply from COH Support about getting bumped off the servers during the Sky Raiders indoor mission.

Not surprinsingly, they were unable to bump me off to the next level or give me some XP for my trouble. No biggy though.

I figure the number of such requests coming in these days is simply gigantic and there is no way to adequately cope/verify/approve them all.

Oh well.


At least, the fixes appear to be much more interesting towards gameply and stability appears improved a bit.

Latest updates rundown:

09.18.04

City Zones

• The Hollows – The contact, Lt. Wincott, has fallen back closer to the Atlas Park entrance and his position has been fortified by several Police drones.

Server Stability:

• Fixed various server stability problems.

9.19.04

Server Stability:

• Fixed various server stability problems.

Seems server stability is a priority.

Good.

this is my impression also. kinda adds to the whole experience..."yeah, like, we were 50 supers taking this mob of invaders down...it was amazing...but then we had to get capes, so we just let the portals be https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif"


heard a good comment the other day: this guy was saying that probably a lot of the lag was due to the fact that people were not taking these Ruuuuuuullaarruuuuuuuu (as iltu well oput it) and the sheer number of them was overloading the servers. take note this is a theory, but sounds good to me. the heroes of Paragon city should unite their forces to take this threat down, before the real baddies come walking throughhttps://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/02/1.gif
