Okay. Thank you.

I've been playing CoH as a paying subscriber for roughly two years in all. Ever since the game has gone F2P they've been making great progress with putting out new power sets for the ATs.

Unfortunately as a paying subscriber, I can only get one power set every 2 months of gameplay. If they keep putting them out at this rate, I won't be able to catch up. I'll never own all the power sets unless I throw more money into the game, and even then I'll wind up lagging behind again due to the fact that the stipend doesn't give VIP access to a single powerset until two straight months of play.

Are there plans for a VIP power set in the up and coming future, or are they all going to cost two months of gameplay or extra?

That's all I'm asking. An occasional VIP power set would be nice every once in a while.

I've encountered the same problem. I wish I had the technical proficiency of those posting before me, but I can say with all honesty that CoH functioned perfectly well before i17, and i17 made it mostly unplayable.

I'm looking at the same scenario with frequent mapserves. I can rotate my camera while lagging, and I rubberband. It is not my ISP as all the other things I do, gaming or web surfing, function just fine. Also it is not my system because I turned graphics down entirely and still have the same problem. The game works smoothly graphically but I see 'connection based' lag.

I find that if I'm soloing or in very small groups (1-2 other people) I do okay, but I still lag a bit. The larger the group, the more frequently I mapserve. It doesn't make the game entirely unplayable to me as I can (for the most part) do okay in small groups, but it's irritating to miss a heal or get stomped because I have a lag spike.

If I solo with my Brute against x8 content I lag quite a bit, but I can finish it. If I group with a couple of MMs or with a large group, I am pretty much useless to my group.

This is game breaking for me because I love large groups, and I would like to see some form of fix up ahead for this. I know I have little information to offer otherwise, but this is simply a testament of 'Me too' to the OP.
