If you are using BT beware of the Throttling for non-http traffic.

Check out the source below from "the register".

Early findings from a new hardware-based monitoring project by ISP analysis outfit Samknows show that even customers who use their connection lightly have non-port 80 traffic slowed to about 15 per cent of the normal speed in the evening, when load on BT's network is high.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone got a AMD Phenom x4 9950 and does it use all 4 cores when playing CoX?

My motherboard can take this CPU so am interested in upgrading my old 2 core to this bad boy.

Any comments?

What he means is a team comprised of a Blaster from Union, a Defender from Defiant, a 'troller from Zukunft etc... Which would be so awesome it's insane.

@Free_Radical

are you saying multi-server team? such as...mixed teams in RWZ or teams with people from grandville, grandville 2, grandville 3 with people coming from different servers?
would be nice!


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.. thats exactly what I am suggesting. It happens when the maps get too full so the technology is there, just needs improving.

I wouldnt expect villan teams with heroes in them (except the shared maps), but certainly heroes with heroes from other servers and villans with villans from other servers.

An example would be Hero Jim is on Union and Hero Bob is on Defaint. Hero Jim can invite Hero Bob to a team, when they enter the mission both are in the same mission and can see eachother etc. (basically do the mission as a normal team). I wouldnt expect Hero Jim and Hero Bob to see eachother in Atlas (for example) since you dont see eachother if there is atlas1 and atlas2 (when there are too many people on the map).

It would certainly help with the lack of teams that can sometimes happen.

EDIT for clarification.

Now, if it ever comes time that they upgrade the hardware here in the EU, it might be better that they merge the two EN servers and buy one uber box that cuts back on server lag... assuming that the hardware is responsible for any of the server lag we've been getting.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe the lag is the rubbish network/internet connection that the german datacenter has and not the server. It should be pretty simple to upgrade that but with all the people complaining about it and they still have not fixed it makes me think they either are not bothered about it or they cant do anything about it (either way they should tell us).

In regards to the server merge stuff, I would like access to the american servers or at least be able to build teams from any EU server (anyone on any EU server can join a team and do the same mission as you.. happens when you have more than one map).

Is it possible to merge the search and instanced missons accross the server? I know you can have more than map on the same server (e.g. grandville1 and grandville2), and a team can be spread out between the two maps and still be able to do the missions together.

Why not extend that to all EU servers so at least you can find more people to team with. So when you are looking for a team you can team with someone on any EU server.

I dunno if there would be a problem with people with the same name on the same team but i'm sure if there was it would be a way round it.

I don't know... Logic would dictate that datacentre bandwidth upgrades would help a lot, but there could also be problems in the netcode the game uses. There's a LOT more data being transfered down the line to every user now than there was a few issues ago, and this HAS been seen to cause extra lag...

[/ QUOTE ]

I would assume that its a bandwidth issue and not the netcode as the american servers have a lot more users on at the same time and (afaik) they dont get the same issues as we do.

Perhaps it's time to move the servers to america. Dont they do the software upgrades anyway? Support can be handled from anywhere, a lot of companies do have their servers a few hundred miles away and it's not that hard to manage.

[ QUOTE ]
Frustrating as it is, it's also TOTALLY normal on DXP weekends. It's ALWAYS like this, due mainly because of the rubbish internet infrastructure at the German datacentre.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've seriously have had enough. Give me the ability to move to CoX in america or fix the connection guys.

Hi,

Don't know if anyone has already posted this, but every team I go on in Villans Union server, constantly gets unplayable lag in the missions.

It's not just me but the whole team. This has happened from saturday night!

Not very nice to see during double xp!

Discuss, flame, or agree.. sorry just really annoyed atm.

SuggestUK-ML-1125151-ML-

I think the sound for repel or similar power should be changed. I suggest "Skidoosh!"

Discuss

I have to aggree that this power is really good. I will need to IO it out after when I get a chance but at the moment i'm very happy with the power.

I will probably use it mostly in teams where it is safe to do so. At the moment i am running hasten and firing it off as often as possible.

Hi,

I am pre-IO (not enough inf atm) so need to slot Drain Psyche with SO's.

Has anyone got any advice on what slotting I should use with SO's (with the aim later on slotting with IO's - probably be a while though).

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if powerboost boosts the effects of fulcrum shift? I am currently running an ill/kin controller and was wondering what powers powerboost erm.. boosts

ta

I have just tried out the psychic/mind blaster, and it seems pretty good. Also pretty good damage.

What does everyone else thing of it? Especially the damage, utility (holds and stuff), and the survivability of the set compared to other blaster sets.

Gah.. double post

I think energy/energy would be interesting

plscanihaveitnow kthnxbai

Pure speculation this one. Any ideas/thoughts/hopes that they will make an energy/energy scrapper?

Been waiting for ages for one and hopefully with this power prolifi-whatsit we might finally get one.

Anyone else think that one might be good?

How do you want to play? Do you want to see whole groups of evil doers beaten or a tough single evil doer?

Do you want to be able to stand face to face to them or bounce in and smash him to the ground before he smashes you?

face to face would be a scrapper, bounce in and smash him one before he smashes you would be a blaster.

Also, some powers in the blaster sets are actually punches and close up hits.

Does the fighting pool (tough and weave) stack with granite armour or do they get switched off if your in granite armour?

Thanks.

I will take another look. Btw.. whats the best slotting for triage beacon? I've noticed it takes ages to recharge, but does that usually matter?
