    Did this happen to anyone else? I can not seem to find where to contact Customer service as well. When I tried to log in it failed each and every time.

    Who would correct this error?
    First off, make sure that you didn't have any account lapses during that time.

    If not, contact support@ncsoft.com, and they should be able to help you out.

Sure I get influence, sidekick a new player, or redo other missions but even that gets tiresome after awhile. I feel a sense of foreboding when my toon hits 40 because I know I won't be able to enjoy them anymore once they get 50 (really 49 IMO). I didn't realize that that I was the minority in this opinion. If most of the players like it at 50, then it should stay that way.
    The problem with this is, that if you were to increase the level cap to 60, you'd feel the exact same way, except 10 levels later. It doesn't fix the problem, it only postpones it.

    There has got to be other ways of getting you what you want, without the need to create new content that would pretty easily trivialize the current content for high-level players.

    Riiiight.
    This right here shows me that you have very little knowledge of the complexity of the issue.

    Is it necessarily hard to find a bug like this? No. Can it be? Yes. Very yes.

    There's an estimated million lines of code in this game. Probably much, much more nowadays. Trying to find a bug in all of that code can be a pain in the *** to find. And that's assuming that the buggy code is where you might expect it to be. What if it's due to something seemingly unrelated? What if it's a stray bit of code that got misplaced somewhere else? What if the code seems fine, but the bug keeps appearing anyways. What do you do then?

    Just assuming that because they know what the symptom is that they can diagnose the problem easily is folly.
  7. Not specific to Invuln/SS, but here was one found in the Tanker guides section:

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=126983
  8. Did you do a search at all on vehicles? There are a number of problems that come up with them, and not just the issue of them being used in missions or not.

    How would you handle any other powers with them? Attacks? Defenses? Other travel powers? Strafing? Clipping with buildings? Going off road? Up smaller spaces than the vehicle appears, such as staircases and fire escapes?
  9. It looks like the graphics guys have been doing a LOT of work, and the new graphics look fantastic. Certainly enough that people who can run the increased graphics will see a great impact from them, and it should be competitive with at least CO (I think our graphics already look better than CO's cartoony feel), but maybe not DCUO, which does use a much more up-to-date engine, and can probably do a bit more.

    But I'd say that the graphic update coming down the pipes definitely puts us in a much more competitive place against the other superhero MMOs.

    Don't forget, you can always just make a new character with the sets that you want. We certainly don't frown on that here. If you want to get rid of the old character, but keep any money that you had on it, I'm sure that one of us could help transfer the influence!

    Glad we could help! ;-)
  13. It will be done. It's just a matter of when the Devs will get time to do it.
  14. First off, welcome back!

    Now, to answer your questions:

    1) Freedom and Virtue have the most players. As such, they tend to have more villains, although, on almost every server, heroes outnumber villains.

    2) Virtue is the unofficial RP server. Combined with Question #1, that may be a good server for you.

    You have given us, the other players, no idea what you're even talking about. As such, we really can't help you. That is what I was trying to point out. Does Paragon Studios have a QA department? Sure, they probably do. That doesn't mean that bugs won't make it to live, though.
  16. I once was on a team with a stormie that had hurricane on, and me on follow.

    Then he complained that I kept getting the team killed, and that I needed to learn to Tank better. I really wanted to reach through the computer and punch him. Luckily, the team leader saw what he was doing, and eventually kicked him.

    Sometimes, people are just dumb.

    But you sort of answered my question anyway. Thanks for the quick response.
    Just note, they might not be able to get the U.S. version of the game over there that easily. You might need to get it for them.

    Yeah...either your game crashed, or something happened on your end and a file got corrupted. It'll fix itself, then let you back into the game.

    Are you sure that you are redownloading the game, and not just verifying the files? If you shut your computer off with the game still running, it will check to make sure that the game files are okay before it lets you login.

    Help with login

    First off, welcome back!

    Secondly, no need to put up when you are posting from, the date and time will automatically come up for people to see.

    Now, on to your problem: make sure that you are using the correct account name and password. If you are really, really sure that you are using the correct account name and password, then contact support at support@ncsoft.com. They should be able to help you.

    Also, when you did you resubscribe? It sometimes takes a little bit for the account to come back online. If you re-subbed, then immediately tried to login, it might not have updated yet.

    Also, are you sure that you re-subscribed your old account? Or did you create a new one?

    Ice Manipulation

    Frozen Aura was the bane of my Tank's life for a long time. I was very, very surprised that they didn't change the Blaster version of the power when they gave Tankers damage in it. It's mostly just a waste of a power except to look cool.
  24. I'm betting that it'll be the conflict between the Hellions and Skulls that does it.

    What? Nobody would see that one coming.

    No link between rep and level of worth of a poster!

    Now give me some -rep, I want the cool looking red bubs. I think the status description for them is kinda cool too.

    Ummm...how does that prove BillZ wrong? He was expressing his opinion of how he viewed the system, not how others had to. No, there is no official correlation between the two. That doesn't preclude an unofficial one.
