    Not getting any patches when starting up my client.. nor after I close and exit from the game. I can log in to server select, after i try to select ANY server I get " No response from this server. Try a different server, or try playing this one later. "

    please advise.

    No response from this server. Try a different server, or try playing this one later.

    Anyone else getting this message right now? Server status shows they are all up and running.

  6. Not sure, it's been a while since I've been in-game. Generally it take 3-4 hours + for an event patch... which you'd think it would not be that bad by now.

Looks like the servers need to be reset or there was a botched maintenance.

    I would hope the devs rectify this... it's crappy that you can't log in and play when you have plans to do so.
    As an update... it would seem that they have resolved the RWZ issue at least. I can get in zone and log in the toons that i could not earlier who were in RWZ to begin with.

    Well, I am having the same issue THIS MORNING. However, I have the normal game client and i can get to my character selection screen and then it hangs up and tells me that I "lost connection to the DB Server." When attempting to retry.. I get "This account is currently logged in."

    Any ideas? Servers all look to be on the up and up except for training room.
  11. Holy ****... another useless pingu thread...

    And damn, ping.. where's my weekly newsletter!

    Also, it's not exactly "City of Farmers." And yes... there have been a lot of people who have left the game... mostly due to PvP/AT/Power nerfs. As for AE/MA it's there so people and make their own content, and so waht if double XP was applied to it... people would still find a way to ding 50 quickly.

    I'm guilty myself of playing in AE/MA, but after 11-12 level 50's... yeah i am kind of bored with the same old story arcs... oh well? As for the "reactivations"... they rarely do that anymore for special events... but that's the way the devs want to run things... their prerogative.

    Stayed away from the Atlas Park and the Powerlevellers wet dream. I was determined to get my 5'th influence badge and there was not much teaming going on.
    Who's (not) bright idea was it to give MA double XP?
    Since the MA already gives huge amount of xp... was this not overkill Devs? Next time I would advice you to NOT put double xp on the MA. I've heard now of players with no vet rewards having 2 or more lvl 50. They got No idea what the rest of the game is about, and no relation to their characters. (All thanks to the MA)

    Union server has, granted, less population then any of the US servers (I think), so I don't know what it was like over the channel. The last double xp was filled with requests to join teams vs AV's etc in Peregrine. There were lots of requests of joining team. This weekend... was slow. (looks up on the reason i've previously given.)

    Oh well atleast I reached the goal I had for this weekend (even though it was a lot of solo play): Fifth influence badge.
    Not to troll... but I see all the complaining and it's gotten old...

    Ok, so let's get a couple of things straight... logically. In 3 days of double XP it IS possible to get one to two level 50's... I've done it before PRE-MA/AE. And I can see that also being the case on people who have played less than 3 months for the first "vet reward." So, I personally see no need in wanting to nerf XP for MA... especially those who run the missions legit.

    Secondly, although I do not personally condone the PLing of total newbies through AE... it's up the the people running the team to dispense what they will. And yeah... we're going to get a lot of newbies with no clue how to actually play. The addition of MA/AE would not change the fact that people would still get PLed.. whether in PI or on teams where people would accept them as SKs... so I feel that the whining and ******** about MA/AE is moot.

    All in all... I just want to say.. play your game.. what's the point in complaining about how others play? If they're idiots... so be it.. it's not the first time. Eventually people will get bored and run more story arcs and game content.

    That is SS/Shield.

    Also your endurance bar crying

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've gotten to the point where my Shield/SS's end bar isn't that bad at all, especially if I don't run Tough.
    I would just like to add in my ten cents here... I have a decent softcapped SS/SD brute.. and I will say.. I run all toggles from /SD and in Fighting + Combat Jump. Endurance is usually not a problem as long as I pace myself at certain points. And I would like to also mention that Rage is a situational power for me, because it has a weakened defense component about it that will **** a /SD silly sometimes.
  15. Well, I don't think we all start at 0, not sure even if other power sets for tanks/brutes start at 0 either. However, I am sure that SD did not start out at 0. As for the IO sets... you may not even reach the 50's.. but i honestly doubt you will need to get them into that range with granite armor being your bread and butter "form." And in that case.. anything past 0 will help tremendously.

    You might even get away with some +spd so you don't have tto rely on SB to run around on teams
  16. PvP has been nerf batted so hard that it's almost one big LOL-fest. Granted we had a lot of FotM AT's and powersets, but the devs could have did a couple of simple things to keep it all fun before the massive nerfing.

    I'm under the impression that they could have reduced some damage for certain ATs/powers and perhaps even buffed damage and whatnot for certain ATs/powers. Also, maybe tossed in a a "totally random" modifier while PvPing so that each party involved has at least a 50/50% chance statically to win or eat dirt.

    Also all of the compression... to an extent it would work... but now for zones... it's just one huge joke... and of course for a SS/whatever brute to get owned by a rad/rad defender 10 out of 10 times?.. yeah.. totally fukT.
  17. To answer your question: You would benefit a lot by soft capping your defense based toon. You can obtain that by browsing around and looking at particular set bonuses. IMHO, it is worth it even on a stoner because you could be a great uber-tank. And the good news is... you really won't have to spend billions for a nice build!

    Server Status

    Correct. But the point was even if you refreshed it... it may not "take."

    Server Status

    Just want to point out that even refreshing that particular page may not do any good. I've been watching it the last 45 minutes.. and it keeps going up and down.
  20. Honestly, as far as I've had experiences with hasten on auto fire... it did not matter what you had targeted. Also even while zoning it should have never been an issue. I think this is a bug that may need to be /petitioned. Hasten is not an attack power FYI.

    Let us all hope they don't bring the crosses and crucify us retroactively. It's one thing to say stop it or "insert punishment here." But I believe a majority of the pbase is guilty as charged and some more than others. But I am also in favor of new baddies, more task forces, new areas, new power sets, and new archetypes. Please also try to not rush issues, and have a little more foresight about potential loopholes that you potentially may create. It's one thing to address the issues and then set the expectations... and THEN roll out the punishing. Otherwise... you just gave some of us a tool to have fun with.

    On the other hand, I see that it is bad to see total newB's go fro 1-50 in a matter of hours vs. them actually learning to play the game period. And in a sense that is bad for business. But some of us rather enjoy the game and the people we associate ourselves with, please do not be so quick and irrational , there are varying degrees and levels to any one angle.
