... I rebooted, and 50 minutes later the game says that my account is still logged in?! Something is seriously wrong here...
Anyway, here is my CoH Helper readout. Exact same setup that I've been using for the past month with no issues until the patch this past Tuesday.

I figured I'd give the game a go tonight. Logged into a toon in the Rikti War Zone. Used the Pocket D teleport power...
Loading screen got to 5%.
A minute later, I'm back in the Rikti War Zone, with a "Mapserver disconnected" displaying on the screen, and "No mapServer connection. Try again."
I'm beginning to wonder if it's the zone teleportation powers, like the base teleport power, mission teleport power, and Pocket D teleport power that are severely borked. That's what seems to start it up for me...
Again, same set up on my end, nothing has changed. This started with the Tuesday patch.
If I go to "Menu" then "Quit" and select either "Quit to Login Screen" or "Quit to Character Select", all I get is a blue screen with clouds on top... -
I don't know whether I should feel happy that this event no longer conflicts with my event, or sad that it is now on Virtue.

Quote:Exalted server for me. First time it occured to me, I used the base teleport power while in the chalet area of Pocket D. Second time it occured to me, I used the mision teleport power while in Crey's Folly to access a mission in Atlas Park. Third, fourth, and fifth times it occured to me were while I was trying to access said mission in Atlas Park, which was the final mission of the Manticore Task Force.Originally Posted by Tex
We are looking in to the map server disconnect issue.
We'd like to know what server you were logged in to and zones you were leaving/going to.
I managed to enter the mission after rebooting my computer. -
Quote:I've been experiencing this exact same issue since Wednesday, even after yesterday's patch. I've pretty much given up on the game until the next patch.Originally Posted by Derangedpolygot
As OF this patch. I wasn't having them before. Now, I get lots of "Mapserver Disconnected", and a blank light blue screen instead of the login screen.
EDIT: Also, often a pop-up "MapserverdisconnectedTryAgain" [OK]
Quitting out crashed the game, but keeps my account logged in (Reloading and relogging informs me "Your account is already online"). My character, however is now in the zone I was attempting to travel to when the Mapserver Disconnets.

Quote:Unless the revamped Dark Astoria becomes a co-op zone, not going to happen.Originally Posted by Asgardian_Blade
Also, I've seen people not be able to get into the zone for a MSR because of trials/TFs attempting to form.
I'm suspecting or hoping that all of this is a moot point once I22 is released with the newly revamped DA incarnate zone (hopefully the new gathering place for all incarnate trial goodness and hopefully with all the amenities provided in RWZ). -
This is tonight, y'all, at 8 P.M. ET / 5 P.M. PT! Hope to see y'all in the War Zone.

... Erm... I already planned and announced my A Very Rikti Christmas event for that eaxct day and time. :\
Good to know that either Paragon Studios doesn't check the Exalted server forum nor the Exalted Events calendar before scheduling things, or doesn't care... -
Okie, it appears others on Exalted are also having issues with the game locking up while trying to zone into their SG bases.

I played City of Heroes for nearly twelve hours yesterday with no issues, obtaining all of the Winter event badges on my new main character. Late last night when I decided to log for the night, I used the base teleport power while in Pocket D. I clicked on "Your SG base," waited a few minutes for it to load... and then I was booted from the game. I relogged, and when I selected the character I was just on, he only half appeared on the character selection screen. You could make out his general shape and costume, but not all of the details were there, and he looked blocky. I decided to call it a night since I was going to bed anyway.
I go to log back on about 14 hours later. First time I booted up City of Heroes for the day. I enter my password... and the game says that my account is already on. Wha?! I log on again, and get to the character selection screen... the character I was on all day yesterday appears just fine. I select him. Enter the game... and I'm back in Pocket D. All appears well.
I used the base teleport power again... "Select "Your SG base"... and about three minutes later, get the message, "Mapserver disconnected."
Except the game didn't boot me. I'm in Pocket D, with the message "Mapserver disconnected" over the screen, but all appears normal, except I can't move, talk, interact with anything. And something just appeared in the chat window... "Unknown command: afk."
What is going on?
Edit: I gave up, went to menu, and selected "Log on another character." Now I just have a black screen in front of me with clouds... no characters listed. Going to close the game, run a repair check, and try to get back on... -
Quote:Personally, I agree with you. I find it inconsiderate to form Incarnate trials in the Rikti War Zone. It makes it more difficult for people to form or find teams for the other tasks that the Rikti War Zone was actually designed for, such as the Lady Grey Task Force and Rikti mothership raids.Originally Posted by Obsidian_Light
I understand that because RWZ is a co-op zone, a lot of other servers use it as their itrial location.
But, with the presence of a weekly run (if not impromptu) Mothership Raids, the fact that the LGTF is formed up in the same area, why haven't we taken an area that is a ghost town (Pocket D) and used that (almost) exclusively for itrial formations?
The last iTrial I was on, there was some serious anger being flung around because a MSR was close to being formed up, and there was going to be the problem of one RWZ being full and a second being opened, so forth and so on.
Pocket D is dead on Exalted.
If iTrial formations were moved to that zone, no one would have to worry about the 'omgbbqsuace' problem of one event getting in the way of another.
Thoughts?
When I first began forming Incarnate trials on Exalted, I formed them in Pocket D, for the exact same reasons you mentioned. However, they took over a half hour to form on average because people had to be coaxed to leave the Rikti War Zone and go to Pocket D, and half the league would ***** and moan about my forming the trial in Pocket D instead of in the Rikti War Zone, because they couldn't sell stuff. After a couple of weeks of this, I gave up. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
What it comes down to is that people are lazy. Rikti War Zone has stores where you can sell stuff, Pocket D does not. So even though it is inconsiderate of other players and makes it more difficult for people to form or find teams for the other asks that the Rikti War Zone was actually designed for, that's where people want to form Incarnate trials.
So, now people just have to put up with trying to find or form trials around Lady Grey Task Forces and Rikti mothership raids, while Matt and I just have to put up with trying to form Rikti mothership raids around trials. As frustrating as it is for trial leagues when there's a Rikti mothership raid going on, it's as frustrating for me leading a Rikti mothership raid. For instance, someone joined a Rikti mothership raid I lead on Saturday, thinking it was a new Incarnate trial. :\ It took about five minutes for people to make him realize that it was not an Incarnate trial, then he promptly quit. Then there were people trying to form an Incarnate trial in the zone during the mothership raid, only there were about 40 people on the raid, and not enough room in zone to form an Incarnate trial there, so people had to direct them to try to form it in Rikti War Zone 2.
It's aggravating, and inconsiderate, but like I said, people are lazy. You can't beat that. I've tried, and lost. -
IIRC, something similar happened when issue 20 launched. People would queue up for BAFs and Lambdas, only to find themselves in someone else's mission.
Just another instance of the LFG queue being screwy. -
I updated the Exalted Event Calendar to reflect the change in Rikti mothership raid times, changed the weekly CoP trials to monthly, and added Operation ROUNDUP, Operation SATURday, and A Very Rikti Christmas. I also removed the nightly Keyes trial starting this week, as I have it on good authority that James Donner will be otherwise occupied in a galaxy far, far away.

Sunday Raids are at 8:30pm to match Thursday Raids so people can just stick to 1 time slot for it.

Unfortunately, tomorrow's Rikti mother ship raid is canceled. Hope to see y'all in the War Zone next Thursday at 8 P.M. ET.

Quote:You want to make Gravity destructive and fun? It already is!Originally Posted by Son of Amber
Hello! I am wanting to make a Gravity Toon that can seriously contribute to a team or at least hold his own. Gravity, from my attempts anyway, seems a bit light on damage and particularly on AOEs. I don't care if it's aoe or strong single target attacks. So what secondaries would pickup the slack damage wise and why?
1. Dimension Shift every other mob.
2. Slot Wormhole for range. Run two mobs ahead of your team. Wormhole that mob into the middle of the mob your team has already engaged. Your team will love having extra playmates. -
I still always say "Congrats," when I notice someone has leveled, outside of the Death from Below Trial. Like everyone else has said, leveling in that is far too quick to bother.
-
I am suffering from ranged toon block. I want to make a new ranged toon, but am coming up blank on ideas. My two main toons are a level 50 Force Field / Fire Blast Defender and a level 50 Super Strength / Electric Armor Brute. I bring out a level 50 Dual Pistols / Dark Miasma Corruptor whenever debuffs are needed. However, I'm starting to get bored of them, since they are all I've played for months.
Honestly, I want to make a couple of new Brutes. But my home server is Exalted, where 80% of all level 50 toons are melee. No joke. So many PuG trials have failed because nearly all of the toons on it were melee. We even had to improvise our Hamidon raid strategy on Saturday 'cause we had three full melee teams and like one blaster and two Corruptors. So if I'm going to make a new toon, it must be ranged as I don't want to add to that.
The problem is that in my six years of playing the game, I could never get a Blaster above level 20. Just far too squishy, and I never liked any of the secondaries.
Someone recommended that I try a human-only Peacebringer. Any other suggestions? -
FWIW, I've found over the past couple of months that I get the most bang for the buck with:
1. Two slotting Fly with a Blessing of the Zephyr: Speed IO and a Blessing of the Zephyr: Knockback Protection IO
and
2. Three slotting Afterburner with two level 50 Flight IOs and a Luck of the Gambler 7.5% Recharge IO.
Combined, this gets you to 84 MPH fly speed. If you're crazy like me and boost the Blessing of the Zephyr: Speed IO in Fly and the two level 50 Flight IOs in Afternburner with five enhancement boosters each, you'll get to approximately 86.5 MPH, iirc. Not much of a difference, but for a flight junkie like me, it matters. -
Quote:Worth a shot. Although I do not believe I have any toon that'd be valuable for such an attempt, so I'll just wish y'all good luck.Originally Posted by Cherry Cupcakes

Also, just fyi, the time for the Rikti mothership raids will move up a half hour beginning next week to 8 P.M. ET / 5 P.M. PT.

I hope to see y'all in the Rikti War Zone tonight!
