  1. Thanks for all the work you've done and for being a great community rep., and best of luck in the future! And thanks also for all the enjoyable events you've hosted on the servers.
  2. Yup, I'm having the same problem too, and it's only getting worse.

    When it first started happening restarting the PC or flushing the DNS cache would fix it, but for the past few days that won't work either. It'll only connect once in a blue moon now.
  3. Already 17 hours and 31 minutes into 2011 here, but still ...

    Happy New Year to all you developers and players! And may it be a good one for all!

    Happy Holidays!

    Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to you all!
  5. Aww, sorry to see you leave, Castle.

    Thanks for all the work you've done over the years and good luck with whatever you're up to next!

    When I saw that the Halloween Event was being tested on the EU Training Room last Friday I logged in with one of my level 50 Villains to have a look at the special Halloween Event Tip Mission. However, after having received nothing but 57 regular Tip Missions I was about to make a reply here on the forums about it being bugged when I noticed the bolded part in the quote above.

    So, I logged back in and went Trick or Treating while using one of the Halloween Costume Temp Powers, and after knocking on a few doors the special Halloween Event Tip Mission finally dropped. (But as others already have pointed out it's presently bugged and won't give any badges upon completion.)

    The part about it only dropping while using a Costume Temp Power appears to be working as intended though.
  7. GM_Brandon spirited away before asking if it was safe to move near us again after that little mishap, but I believe he set himself as completely invisible before doing so. He was however kind enough to cunjure up the missing Ring Mistress for us so we could continue on with the Crystal Keeper Strike Force.

    Had me curled up on the floor that one ...
  8. Happy Birthday, Positron!

    And ... Doing something kinda fun? Hm ...

    Ooohh ... Stasis! Now there's a name from the past! Welcome back!
  10. Aw, sorry to see you go. But good luck with your new job!
  11. Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you all!

  13. I haven't had any problem with being logged in on both the EU live servers and the EU test server at the same time and on the same account, so yes, you can.
  14. Well, I'm sure that if those of us still playing on Defiant, Vigilance or Zukunft feel a bit lonely this Christmas they might give us another Union-Only Double XP Weekend to cheer us up.

    And that's quite honestly what I think about this.

    [Edited for clarity]
  15. Same thing here.

    Had just joined an Imperious TF/SF at 8 PM when I lost contact with the server in the first mission, and now I can't reconnect.
  16. Just thought I'd give a little feedback.

    I took part in eight attempts at defeating Lord Winter on Defiant this monday during the sneak preview, each time on a different character (seven villains and one hero) and all of them successful. Each character received the badge for defeating him.

    He didn't seem quite as tough as I'd expected after reading the feedback on the US test server forum, and those Northern Light-thingies wasn't really an issue so we tended to just ignore them. Time remaining on the counter after he'd been defeated ranged from ten to five minutes left.

    The only issue I noticed was when trying to target him using the Select Nearest Target key, which every now and then would select a mob behind him unless I zoomed out a bit.

    All in all a fun little addition to the Winter Event.

    Bah, missed out on all but the first of the 2009 Halloween Event test runs on the EU test server. Don't usually check the forums until after I've logged off the game for the night so was never aware of the other ones until after they'd already ended.

    The new walk animation looks absolutely beautiful!

    But if I may offer one little suggestion: Make it revert to the classic slide stance if on an angled and slippery surface, like the ski slopes in Pocket D. Otherwise it might look a bit hilarious.
  19. Aw, hope to see you again soon, Rabbit.

    *hands Rabbit a slightly chipped rock hard carrot* Here, I better give this back to you as you might need it. Thanks for letting me borrow it!
