I'm clowning around in it now on a new Silver (Freebie) account. I subscribed the first two months, and now can't get back in on my old account, ah well. The game is better since launch, but still too many buggy missions, especially post level 30, for a game that has been out 4? years. Lemuria and parts of Monster Isle still look like complete garbage, especially compared to Ultra Mode CoH. I see in zone chat and certain channels in CO people claiming how dated CoH looks now, and I wonder if they are looking at the same games.
Nearly level 40 now, and I'll give it another go with a different type of character. To be honest, I think the silver archetypes work, and are a good idea for new players. It's hard to mess up making a playable character this way, and when you're ready for something better, you can go freeform. Still way too much stuff that doesn't work very intuitively though. (How do I delete/sell salvage that can't be sold/deleted? It's going to stay on my guy forever?). The crafting tutorial really feels 1/2 done, especially compared to CoH's
Anyways, in CO @RolloTomassi -
Personally, I am subbed on 2 accounts for 6 months still after the Nov 30th deadline. Until I get my money back I will not give NcSoft another damn dime of my money. For anything. They are well within their right to close the game, however until I get my money refunded for time after Nov 30th, in my mind this is theft, nothing more, nothing less. I don't want credit for some other property, I want a refund. For this to go on for two weeks without a peep with regards to this issue shows a complete disdain for their customers.
If this game has any future past the drop dead date, it will certainly be with another company with a completely different billing system. This "No News" line we're getting from some otherwise well-meaning folks is utterly irrelevant. NcSoft isn't going to be handling the billing. -
Most of us are still around, more or less. You know where to find us

Not sure why so abrupt, but that's the way things go in the corporate world.
Thanks for coming out everyone. -
Happy birthday!

Wait wait wait after 8 years of playing and forum lurking, I make a BR/Dev and it's FOTM all of a sudden? Having a lot of fun with mine, btw.

btw Zwill, if your choice is between doing nothing or something, sometimes that something is not the wisest choice. -
Well Done!

Promo Codes or don't bother; Paragon Studios is professional enough to try to drive their social media, but then fumble the ball on the 3 yard line. This does nothing but upset the very people you're marketing to!

When he is defeated, he grants Nega-Pendragon and Chimera the ability to "Banish" players (which is effectively like the sequestering found in the BAF Trial).
On a serious note, I thought he summoned the Olympian Guards through the Light of the Wells, or it was just my imagination.
Awesome work on this, Trick. -
Happy Birthday!

hmm, I need to check the Protector forums more often

Over the weekend, I got a couple tells during iTrial runs regarding invites and it's occurred to me that there may be some misunderstanding about how the queue system works.
Once the league leader queues the event, there is nothing they can do. They can't invite people to league and they can't move people within teams. That's why when people arrive to see a league standing there, you'll often be told just to join the queue (to join the queue, go to the LFG tab → Incarnate Trial tab, select either First available Incarnate trial or the specific trial you want), because the league is already in the queue. Players not in the league can join the queue right up until the button pops.
Once the button pops, only the people eligible (i.e. already on the league and those already in the queue) can join the event until the league zones into the trial instance.
Once the event has started, joining the queue puts you in the queue for the NEXT trial you will NOT join the league in the trial that is currently in progress UNLESS the league drops below the minimum number of people for the event. I've never seen a person join an event like that on a live server, only on test, specifically trying that.
In practice, the only way to join an event in progress is to have the league leader invite you. ONLY the league leader can invite you to join a trial that is under way. Be aware, however, that different people zone in faster than others, and that often times league leadership is transferred to someone who was NOT the leader before the event started. Many times, the new leader has to be made aware that the have lead. Sometime they are unresponsive when told and do not pass the star back to the original trial leader. The League Leadership transfer problem has been going on since day 1, and it seems it will never get fixed. -
I have no idea why these stick out to me...

At the risk of necro'ing the thread, has anyone run into an upper limit on the size of the .mnu files?
I tried to put ALL my trial popmenus into one large file. (I've been working for a month or so on this, thanks everyone for your help). I just hit a wall where nothing past this point would work no matter what I tried.
I found a workaround, and things are going fine, I just found it interesting. -
Thanks to everyone for coming out, even if you didn't need/want the badge. Both runs were successful.
Little more involved than we usually do it, no? -
That's right, this Sunday, May 6th, at 3 P.M. Eastern/Noon Pacific I'll be running two TPN campus trials with an emphasis on getting the Fair & Balanced badge. Typically the method I use for TPN trials doesn't even allow an attempt at this badge. So odds are, if you run a lot of TPN's with me, this is the badge you are missing for the master badge.
Unfortunately, the method needed to get this badge makes this trial more difficult than the "Follow the herd" method we use now, so I'll have to use some level gating. I'll be asking that you bring a 50+1 minimum to this trial. (Doesn't have to be 50+3, just really need a level shift). I have to break the league into much more specific teams, with defined roles. There is even a chance of failure (egads!).
We'l be doing the trial so that we get the Fair & Balanced badge, and for that you need to kill the telepaths outside in the crowd (to prevent the telepaths from converting the crowd), and complete the trial. I won't be focusing on getting the other badges, but we routinely get the rest on a normal run.
Couple of conditions:
1) I reserve the right to discriminate based on level shifts
2) I will need some specific roles filled during this trial. I may ask people to switch characters to fill that specific role. If I do this for the first trial, your badging character will have top priority for the second trial -

Seeing it on UG trial as well, summon in the hallway outside the final room, they try to run in. It didn't seem to matter whether MM pets or Lore pets

No it hasn't been fixed yet, got hit with it Thursday night. First mass disconnect that I know of on my server.
