    How's Red Side?

    What is a good global channel for badges and strike / task forces on Triumph? I did a quick global channel search and came up with both Triumph Watch 2.0 and Triumph Watch 2.1, but couldn't discern any difference besides population.
  2. You and me both. I take a half dozen medications every day, and half of them have nice big labels on them that read, "Do not take with alcohol." Bah.
  3. You've got to be kidding me. Server queues? Sorry, the moment I see that I'm queued to log on to a server for a game that I pay $30 a month for (two accounts), I'm gone. I have never played a MMOG with queued log ons, and I'm not about to start. And no, I don't play on Freedom, nor Virtue.
  4. Yep, I ran two raids tonight, back-to-back, and they were both mostly lag free. A little lag here and there, but nothing like the prior two weeks. Good to see.

    Thanks to everyone that came out for either raid tonight!

    That could have a lot to do with it. I believe the weekly raids have at least 5 teams going by the time we land on the mothership. In any case, we'll see tonight.
  6. Tonight will be the tenth weekly Rikti mothership raid. My, how time flies. See y'all at the same bat-time, same bat-Pylon.

    Hrm. Do you know approximately how many y'all had for the raid last night?

    WHY do you want negative reputation? :P

    *btw I added negative rep for youz*
    I like the color red. I even use the red theme for the forums. :P
  9. From what I've been told, the other servers experience lag during Rikti mothership raids, but nowhere to the degree we have been. At least the east coast servers, anyway.
  10. I've inexplicably been receiving positive reputation lately. No matter what I do to try to bring my reputation back down, I keep getting more positive reputation. What am I doing wrong?

    How's Red Side?

    I'm looking for an East coast server to alt on, and prefer playing villains. How is the red side here?
  12. Anyone remember what playing on the Champion server was like the last double XP weekend? Yeah. Something tells me it will be the same or worse this time around, especially considering we've been having a similar experience during the Rikti mothership raids since Issue 16 went live. Champion's server hardware seems to be Commodore 128s, since we're the only server that experienced the lag during the last double XP weekend, and now we're the only server experiencing major lag during Rikti mothership raids.
  13. I have a feeling a fire extinguisher would see use in the California data center if I attempted to lead a Rikti mothership raid next weekend.
  14. Sure, but all of my characters are on Champion.

    What ever happened with having in-game voice chat? Did that go bye bye?
    Why do in-game voice chat when there are solutions available that would do it so much better anyway? I.e., Ventrilo.
  16. Build me a Thugs / Force Field Mastermind, strictly for PvE. The budget is four billion infamy. Go.
  17. What is the best melee AoE power set, either hero or villain? I'd imagine Electric?
  18. I've officially confirmed with Back Alley Brawler that the lag we've been experiencing with the Rikti mothership raids the past couple of weeks have absolutely nothing to do with costumes, so feel free to wear whatever y'all want to wear this week.

    a new record?

    It's a bug due to the new difficulty setting coding. Paragon Studio's stopgap measure is in the next patch, which is currently on the test server. You will be forced to run all TFs / SFs at +0 level, and the AVs at the end of the STF / LRSF will be hardcoded to level 54. No more running TFs / SFs at +1 level or +2 level.
  20. Well, as everyone knows that showed up last night, the lag was no different last night than it was the week prior. It was still atrocious.

    I don't know what the future holds for Rikti mothership raids. I suppose we'll just have to keep on sludging our way through the lag every Thursday night until the people at Paragon Studios come up with a solution. Yurgh.
  21. Just a reminder that the Rikti mothership raid is tonight. Also a reminder that the following is in effect for tonight: No capes, no auras, and no customized powers. Preferably, a Riktikini should be worn, but as long as you don't have a cape, an aura, and no customized powers, you're good. :P

    Yes, I know that the capes and auras likely had nothing to do with the major lag during last week's raid. But I figure, might as well through in the whole kit and kaboodle while we're at it, and see how it works.

    It's okay, not everyone can look as good as I do in a speedo. It's a burden, sometimes.
  23. I lead a Rikti mothership raid last night on the Champion server, and the lag was ridiculous. There normally is lag at a raid, but last night's was over the top. It took me a full three minutes just to bubble my team. The only thing I can think of is that the game is choking on all the new perty colors. Any other server run a raid since Issue 16, and if so, what was your experience?

    Good raid though other than that
    I know that the color change is just that, but that was the main difference between last week's raid and this week's, so I figured it's worth a shot at eliminating that difference and see what happens. It's a process of elimination. If it works, great. If it doesn't, oh well. But something has to give, 'cause the lag last night was ridiculous.
