    Well I wasn't a happy camper, that's for sure! I was throwing in the towel to go to bed when I thought of the idea of AS killing him instead of just slightly damaging him. I was yelling and angry, but I really wanted him to be a Hero lol!
  4. Neither

    Did you go to college? (or are going, depending on your age...)
  5. OK so on the Hero morality mission that has: "Rescue the hostages then deal with Blast Furnace" in the nav has a HUGE problem!

    I was converting my Rogue Stalker to full Hero last night when I got this last mission. I had already spent hours getting tips and finishing the missions when I finally walked into this mission and started prowling. The first thing I realized is that not all of the hostages are in order from front to back.

    The 1st hostage (out of the 6-8 times I ran this mission... I'll explain that farther down.) is almost always right after you walk in, in the main hall. The 2nd was in random spots, but almost always on the 2nd floor of the map and the 3rd was so random that he never appeared in the same spot twice and sometimes was down on the 1st floor. This on it's own was irritating, but I eventually figured it out.

    Ok now on to Blast Furnace. After rescuing all hostages and starting to feel heroic I walk into the last room, where Blast Furnace was standing. Like all Stalkers I've seen, I was in Hide. I walked right up to him used Build up then use Assassin Strike on him. He of course falls over and dies, but he now wants to talk. So we talk and some Soldiers come and try to stop us, but after they showed up Blast Furnace disappeared.

    At first I thought this was normal, so I went on and fought the tiny wave of soldiers. When I finished the wave I had nothing to do in my nav... I looked all over the map for Blast Furnace or something on the map and never found anything. I went out and did the mission five more times before I finally realized what was causing the problem. Blast Furnace was disappearing because I was killing him in one hit.

    This is something I strive for as a Stalker. I was to be able to walk up to anything and kill it in one hit... Now that being said I turned off Hide, the last time I ran this mission, and walked up to Blast Furnace and just whacked him with like three hits and he fell over. (With only 1/8 his HP gone...)

    Now I did all the waves of soldiers and each time had to talk to Blast Furnace... So this is why I couldn't finish the mission.

    Now I see this as a bug. Just about any Stalker at that level should be able to kill him in one hit... So this is a huge problem for all/most Stalkers that want to go full Hero and that get this mission while on the redeeming path.

    I must ask for Devs to fix this quickly so no one else goes through the hassle I did to finally finish this. After all the running around I did I could have finished an ITF by the time I finished this mission...


    Another thing too... I sent in two petitions about this and didn't receive a response until this morning... What's happening with in game support? We used to get responses in 20 mins or so, but now I don't get responses till a day or two later... It's just kind of disheartening...


    Edit: OK after talking with NCsoft support, I told them the whole story after they got my original petition last night and here is their response:

    Quote:
    I am escalating your petition to a Senior Customer Support Representative to further assist you. Please be aware, however, that there may be a delay in reviewing the issue, based on ticket volume at the time your ticket was submitted.

    Someone will be in contact with you as soon as possible.
    This is all fine and everything, but the issue was resolved. This leads me to think that no one is actually reading the updates... And if they are reading them, aren't comprehending the purpose behind them... The only thing they could follow up on would be telling me that they forwarded it to the bug team, or would be to explain what is happening with the in game GM responses, which from what I understand don't even exist right now... In my response I did mention it, but I figured it wouldn't much matter what I say about the subject...

    I hope they decide to turn their ideas around on how they handle support. They had always been more helpful before.
  6. Yes I like Husky dogs... Weird way to ask though.

    What is hard and soft at the same time?

    I wouldn't imagine it will last the rest of the day. You may only need to do this for a few more hours for all we know... I'm sure by tomorrow it will be fixed so there won't be that much time away from your friends... It they're you're true friends, they will understand.

    It's.. kind of ridiculous on launch day!
    I'll give you that, but out of all honesty, I expected the whole game to be broke till at least tomorrow or Thursday so... Higher than my original expectations! lol

    Well personally, I think that this was a good idea. First, it wouldn't make sense, story wise, for the Praetorians to be part of a Primal Earth SG or VG. Secondly, if there was a Praetorian SG equivalent then they would only have access to this SG until level 20. After that they would be either Heroes or Villains and would lose access to this group.

    Now, later on when they get 1-50 content introduced into Praetoria I could see it, but until then I think they made a wise choice. This of course is strictly my opinion though.

    So... Thanks Zander!!!
    A very FINE idea you have presented today!! I mean that in a very good way too!!
    Don't thank me Citizen! I merely introduced an idea someone else had posted in another thread. All in a days work!

    Ok totally kidding about the whole Citizen thing... I just like having fun hehe!

    Thanks for someone being positive about the idea finally though.

    It's weird how some people think that if you have to "work around" something that it isn't worth their time. Good for you for being positive though!

    How? As soon as servers are back up you can transfer them to the server you want... So ya it is.

    Keep in mind that yesterday was a gift. They didn't have to put it on the live servers yesterday, but they did. So I wouldn't count that since it wasn't supposed to be released till today... Some people need to spend sometime outside or something and calm down...

    Also, it wasn't down yesterday for me or most people. That was something that happened this morning. This is what the Devs came to work to this morning. In Central time, assuming they go to work at 8AM Pacific time, they got to work at 10AM my time. This means that they haven't been working on it that long at all.

    Sadly we live in a "fast food" society. We expect anything we want to only take a few minutes and if it doesn't its not worth the trouble and we want our money back, or just forget the item altogether. The weather here in the Midwest is the nicest it's been in awhile. Go outside and do something and come back later. No reason to get all bent out of shape people. SHEESH!!!

    This is true. If you deleted your name placeholder and someone that hasn't used the 12 slots on your server yet picks it... I guess that's tough luck. What are the odds someone will pick your name? Who knows, but lets just hope that it doesn't get taken. Most won't get taken (probably) but some might. Life "ain't" fair sometimes sadly...
  22. Wow you all need to calm down... GoldenGirl I believe was joking... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I found it funny when she said that... It won't be that long. And the advice of making a toon on a server that you don't have 12 toons on already is really good advice. Don't get on here and complain that you can't "play the new content" when you can.

    When the slots and server transfers are back up, all you have to do is transfer your toons to the server of choice... There is NOTHING keeping you from doing the new content [jk]so quit whining![/jk]
  23. Good job Devs! You really took COH "to the next level"! Take a little time off and enjoy yourselves!
