    It's irresponsible to force players to sit at a computer for 3 to 5 hours a time and not be able to log off if they need to. It's beyond ridiculous and the aspect of this game I hate the most. I forgo all my accolades because I refuse to put myself in that situation... but finding out now that all the new expansion stuff is going to be a task force grind just makes me angry.

    I play this game because I do not want to grind to advance my character, I don't play wow, I chose this and you continue through the past 2 years to rip the heart of this game out and turn it into a massive warcraft style grind.

    I resent you for that, deeply... and have only stayed around because I have so much invested in bases and vet badges.

    Just stop with the force taskforce crap, 1k+ hours for hero merits and a purple set is already beyond evil.
    It's called finding a decent supergroup, Candy. You do NOT have to do a task force all in one log in. My SG mates and I have, on more than one occasion, started a TF and then, when people got tired, or had things to do, stopped and then finished it the next day, or whatever. You can't just have everything handed to you.

    To my knowledge, the mapserving is only in Sharkhead. I was in 3 other zones red side and didn't have that problem and now that I am on hero side, not having it either, but global everything is down.

    And now, everything I had stored on the black market is gone. Luckily, nothing important, just some basic salvage, and I assume it will be fixed soon, just frustrating.

    Virtue issues?

    Yup, had the same issue. Took me forever to get to the ferry from the black market, just to zone to Cap. Hell, I was rubberbanding to spots I hadn't even been in.

    Were you guys in Sharkhead, by chance? I was mapserving in Shark, went into my base, was fine the whole time there, came back out, started mapserving again. Went to Cap and have been fine the whole time so far. So seems to be a Sharkhead Virtue issue maybe?

    I was base editing when it crashed me. Came out of edit to a message that said I was mapserving.

    Nope, not system wide. I'm currently standing in my base on Freedom talking to an SG mate.
  9. Last week or so, I have been crashing extremely frequently. It always occurs either while zoning or in zone maps, never while actually loaded into a mission. If I am zoning and crash, I get the CoH error report window asking what I was doing at the time. If it is in zone, I freeze up and either get nothing and have to close through the task manager or I get a message talking about .pigg files being corrupted, usually some world texture files. I deleted all the .pigg files and ran the patcher twice, and am still having the issue.

  10. Pssssst, a little word of advice. Although your offer is nice, you might want to make sure that you yourself do not make text errors when offering to fix others.

    Q: Tell us about the new powersets and changes to the existing sets? Will Issue 13 offer something for everyone?

    ...

    FG: Issue 13 offers two new powersets for players to use: Shields, a defensive powerset for Brutes, Scrappers and Tankers, and Pain Domination, a buff/debuff powerset available to Corruptors and Masterminds. The Shields set is being made primarily in response to hero player requests to fulfill a character theme, while Pain Domination is being made in response to villain player requests for a “villainous version of the Empathy” powerset.

    [/ QUOTE ]A simple 'no, but there is this stuff' would have sufficed in answer to that question.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    He never states that it is for everyone. Furthermore, unless they are implementing some kind of restrictions that everyone is unaware of, like you have to have a lvl 50 corr to play pain dom (which I seriously doubt would ever happen, lol), then yes, those power sets are indeed for everyone, as are all of the others, minus the epics. Whether you choose to play them is entirely up to you, but they are there for your use.
  12. Where are you guys getting that we are being given a token for EACH costume slot?

    " During this maintenance all characters will be granted one tailor token."
  13. Agreed on the stilettos and butt-capes issue.

    My widow's costume is extremely reflective. I think maybe that some colors just show it more than others.
