So this may be a dumb question, but, is there any benefit of going "tech" based for the stun gun to mix w another fortuna stun power for a "devices-esk" 1 - 2 punch like bean bag and stun gun?
Is this a horrible little "surprise combo" or worth a shot at trying? -
::sigh::
My playing time is limited, basically between 8Am and Noon yet Ive seen more Down Time than Game time...
Remind me what Im paying for again?!? -

How did I insult him? I advised him to use a spell checker.
You gain nothing and in most cases, loose more respect from others than the individual you were pointing out. -
Quote:Attempting to insult a person because of their spelling is no longer cool. I think that stopped being fun about the same time as the servers stopped having daily down time.Originally Posted by Frost Warden
Unless you were around a couple of years ago, when the servers were going down every weekday, you have no idea about how bad it could get.
Also, most browsers come with automatic spell checkers; maybe try using it in your next Doooooom™ post?

And unless you're putting in 60-80 hours a week, don't tell me about "limited downtime". Not griping about my job. I get paid RIDICULOUSLY well for it. But I put in a LOT of hours.
Again, I retort, stop trolling. -

But you're not going to let that stop you.
You mean like the fact that this hardware upgrade is supposed to solve the new load-spike issues they're seeing with i21? An issue that's ONLY a week old. An issue that didn't come up in i21 when they were planning the initial hardware upgrade. Even though i21 Beta was open for weeks and weeks prior to going live. Even though they built hardware meant to handle the loads that the original D.O.P.E. event on Freedom, a month or so ago, generated (with over 4000 people on the server simultaneously).
If your patience truly was that thin, you'd be unsubbed already. You're just "Internet Angry". This is sort of the flat bottle of caffeine free diet coke of anger. If you were REALLY upset, you wouldn't be in here on the boards talking about your feelings on the subject.
Good thing the downtime isn't continual.
Why exactly should they? There's no need for them to compensate people for planned downtimes.
What is this we're experiencing today?
A PLANNED DOWNTIME? I THINK SO!
Most of the new players haven't started yet. That comes next week. What they're doing is getting this in ahead of time to try and STOP that sort of thing from happening. As for aggravation. Don't you think they're a LITTLE peeved too? They just installed a bunch of new hardware that was supposed to handle much higher loads without issue. But the traffic patterns they've seen, plus the monstrous new patch with all its new systems has generated loads in excess of anything they've encountered before. Pretty much mandating MORE hardware upgrades before an expected influx of new players brings the system to its knees.
Dude. Try looking around at other games during new version releases. You'll also see multiple long downtimes, some last minute bug firefights, etc. And you'll see them in greater numbers and magnitude than ANYTHING you've seen here.
A little perspective goes a long way.
We have valid gripes and THIS is where we can post them.. Im sure for you, this is no big deal. Youll go play Gears 3, yell down stairs to mom when you want lunch and then play tonight only to rinse and repeat tomorrow. But the rest of us who work have limited playing time and have a right to be angry. -

Its not really the downtime that bugs me, it's the lack of proper planning and communication.
Multiple lengthy downtimes and failed efforts to remedy long term problems suggest that no-one is looking far enough ahead to create contingencies for the problems that they should see coming.
Someone at a mangement level has decided that it is better for the company to keep these details back until the last moment.
Oh, and by the way - this thread is a prefectly natural place for people to vent their feelings. If this annoys you and causes you to make snide or insulting remarks then perhaps you should go elsewhere?
Says it all.
Sure, we understand downtimes.. they happen and are needed. BUT, unless they woke up this morning at 1 AM and said "oh, I think moving the servers will help so ill go ahead and do it NOW" then they knew about this in advance. How about a little communication and advanced notice. I guarentee you, the majority of these posts would not be here if they would have just given us some advanced notice. Is it so hard to post "In 1 week, Sept 22, we will be taking the servers to a new location which will result in a 12 hour down time" ?!?!? -
MORE downtime?!? This is becoming unacceptable! A lot of us who work dont get to play every day and I had two chances this week, Tues and Today. Guess what... yep, doesnt look like ill be playing this week. Glad Im paying for a game I cant play.
-
Oh joy, MORE maintenance!! Guess Ill just go get Gears and forget about COX for a while.
-
Gee what a surprise.. The servers have been down more in the last two weeks than they have been up. Way to impress those of us youre trying to bring back to the game.
-
Had the same issue.. try this, open the launcher, click on the upside down triangle next to Cit of heroes. You should have a list that drops down. Click on repair. See if that works.

What level missions are you guys currently running?
-
Anyone interested in running some 30+ Redside missions with me tonight for a few hours? Ill be on around 11pm est and have my vent server up and running just incase. You can send me a /t at @lquidcourage if youre interested.
Its open to RPers and non Rpers alike, Im just looking to level a bit and have some fun. -
No DP guides?!? Wow... looks like the community is dwindling around here.
-
Anyone else not have access to the SoA sets when they should? I have 3 level 40s but I still can not access the SoAs sets...

It's a shame they don't have some kind of public, closed and/or open beta test, allowing users to test things out, and point out what's broken. Then they could listen to that feedback, and fix things, instead of having to run a QA during a live publish.

Quote:Ive seen the Wraith Spiders but again, see my previous post. As for your group, AE.. if the group is strickly Human Arachnos type chars, I might be interested.Originally Posted by Commander
See sig.
Also, there are groups such as Arachnos Elite Forces, the Wraith Spiders, and a few others I've seen that are still around.
(Note: The Arachnos Elite formed on day one of the 3 day CoV headstart. I closed its doors last year because of a direction I was planning on taking the group, that ended up becoming more of a hassle with running multiple groups, heroside as well as villainside. The scheduled return is for the release of Going Rogue.)
And JetBoy... the wait will definately be worth it

i've actually also been looking for a PURE Arachnos themed group.
i'd sign up. shoot me msg. i've got a 31 AR/Traps Corr and look forward to making a SoA soon. -
Quote:Not really... All of the ones Ive seen are a mix of SoAs, Demons, Vampires, Werewolves and god knows what else. This one will be a heavy Arachnos Lore Themed VG.Originally Posted by Jet_Boy
There's quite a few of those out there already.
-
So with i17 which allows accounts to have access to the SoA ATs, as long as you have a lvl 20 char, would anyone be interested in starting an Arachnos themed VG with me? It would mainly be open for those with SoA ATs but other ATs my be considered as long as you have the 30 month Vet reward (Arachnos helmet).
Right now Im thinking it would mainly consist of Human Chars and be based around the Game Lore of Arachnos Soldiers. If anyone would be interested let me know. -
Quote:I agree completly. They only thing I can say about those who HATE Mercs is that they are the type who want to blame everyone on In Game Stat Numbers. IMO In Game Stat numbers are worthless. My Merc / Dark MM is one of my best characters in terms of survivabilty and damage. Even with out blowing millions on IOs, My Mercs can hold their own just as well as any other MM. Heck, even in the broken PVP system and with out completly IOing them out, my Mercs are a pain to beat.Originally Posted by Lord_Azazel
ive been playing my Merc/DM master for 30 months now, after reading all these issues that the mercs are the weakest i have to admit not once have i had issues bar serum which i dont use cause its bloody useless and not worth a power slot, i have a 50 crab spider and a 40+ widow with random alts, the spider i actually retired and will be sendin everything to my mm come later today, ive tryed ninjas robots, thugs but i keep going back to mercs, weither its a personal preference or not even with the new demon sums, i will be making one but theres no AT in this game will make me pick a new main character to play as, its not been the best of times to get him to 50 but its been worth it and i still has as much fun as i did when i first picked the AT

I have a Merc/Dark since the day MMs were released and I still love and play him today.

Quote:No, the Devs said they would look into it though it only took them 3 years.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
That used to be their response to power customisation too.
Seriously, Weve asked for DPs for years and the original power set has been in the game since the release; ie, Malta and Skulls, which Id say 99% of us would have been happy with, but they had to go all "special" and make it pretty, which again, took 3 years.
Dont hold your breath for this. Those of us who have been here since day 1 have given up on it. -
Ill be the first to say it... Im rolling a Minion-less DS!!
Im joking... Im joking....
Or am I!?! -
Or just understand that since MMs have been introduced, weve asked for this and theyve said no.
This is not a new suggestion, heck, this is brought up at least 30 times in a 30 day span. The Devs have said no, and probably will keep saying no.
