    Pretty sure...
    And of course, a much bigger surprise when a team wipes BUT the stalker, who goes on to finish the mobs off.. Been there, done that :P

    Probably not, but does it make me feel better that I am disgruntled client? Just a little.

    Does expressing our concerns/complaints help making NCSoft realize that they must improve on their service?

    I can only hope.
    So many issues, all in one post.. Tell me, do you rest well at night? Are your dreams dark, and haunted by things that dance just beyond your control? *Arches a brow, and smiles darkly*

    Thanks.. so much for getting off work early. Now I'll have to do things around the house.. grrr!
  7. Is there an actual post somewhere saying how long todays downtime is going to last, when things will be back up etc? If so, I can't find it.. But then, I'm lazy and probably haven't checked -everywhere-..

    I'd do anything for a Klondike.. Except a Cat-Girl. Probably.

    Also.. we have a lot of Brit's. And when the time is right, we shall rise up on our Corgi steeds, and take over the server completely.


    That said, there are a lot of fun people there, and as there are also quite a few around when you will be, you won't have to worry too much about getting things done.

    Everyone has made some good points, but really, it's the people. The vast majority are down to earth, good people and Rp'ers, as well as just regular players. Yeah, you can find those on other servers, Virt just has the best

    Whatever you do, I hope you continue to enjoy and have fun. That's what it's about, right?



    Now get to Virt, before I have to stalk you, and kill you. *smiles sweetly*

    Cool! By the time I get that DL'd, I'd hope the normal servers would be up. >.>

    Oh wait.. I used British Telecom.. you could do another server upgrade right after and I still wouldn't of finished dl'ing..

    Someone should get a Downtime Server built, that has only one large Zone, so quick to DL, and can be added to the normal server list. So that when this happens, we can all have one big Pocket D to go and stand about complaining at each other in.

    Oh wait.. that's Virtue... O.o

    Between this and not being able to get many Trials in during our 'peak' times, I'm beginning to wonder why we let them have their own country over there in the first place..

We'll give you a call personally, as soon as the Servers are back up and running. Thank you for being a dedicated and loyal customer.


    Sounds about right...

  16. Grr.. okay..

    So now I see the servers are up, but get this report:

    -Unable to contact game patch server.-

    I suppose I find that odd too. By rights, your 'official' page should be given updates first, then subsiduary pages/sites. It takes hardly any time at all to make a post.. and would expect to only have to come here first for my news. IMHO, anyway.
  18. Well I do agree that some idea of what is going on would be nice. I'd also like to know if it is doing the same tomorrow..

Basically a raid has to happen to get this badge, period.

    Apparently (due to time zone considerations) the OP is having trouble even finding active raids in the first place. *shrugs*
    That was basically it, that and that I do a lot solo, or only in small groups, so don't /like/ having to rely on 30 other people being about to get something I need.. as it' not even like a single full team could manage it.

    And yeah... I /can/ find one.. and no, don;t expect it to be 'high' on teh dev's list.. I'd rather have the base building mem leak issue fixed XD.. but, just wondered if I was alone in thinking this wouldn't be a bad idea.

    The shields need to be down.

    What server are you after it on?
    I know on Virtue and Justice I see frequent Rikti raids all week long.
    I'm on Virt.. but it's a time of day thing. I'm currently stuck in the UK, so timing can be off quite a bit. I /can/ find them. And I know it is raid only.. currently. I'm kinda asking that maybe it can also be gotten anotehr way, for solo or small team players who don't /like/ raids or whatever.

  24. I'm not 100% sure, so if I'm wrong, please ignore this or post where I get it etc.. but there isn't a way, without a ship raid, to get the Rikti Ship badge, is there?

    I ask because most the the times I am on, there isn't enough people about, or interested enough to do a Ship Raid. So rather than just moaning about it, is it possible to suggest that maybe an inlfiltration mission be made, where a solo player or small team can actually get the badge? Maybe make it a mini-TF like the Rikti Ouroborous TF..


    Just a thought..
  25. Seems it is still going on.. I can log in to most servers but Virtue.. which, of course is where I have anything I want to play, so am basically screwed. Not sure why was even brought back up from maintenance if it still has issues.. *sighs*
