  1. Same here.

    Error Code: 36 (PatchServerCommunicationError):

    Patch server communication error while performing operation:

    Getting Current Version - which is where it freezes

    Clicking the 'Force Launch' button does get me to the log in screen, where it then says

    Wrong game version, run patcher and reconnect, server 2060.201108130612.1, client 2060.201108050059.1
  2. Just letting you know all is still going to plan... PANIC!!!

    There might be a prize for the best name tags
  3. I've always loved the Gothic architecture of Mercy, it's twisting turning alleyways with hidden crumbling statues, old fountains and bandstands.

    I, for one, hope they don't change it too much. I love doing Doctor Creed's arc.
  4. Fantasticly amazing

    Thank you so much for putting in Nanny's recipe.

    As for a dark and gritty non-powered hero/vigilante there's always Dirk Knightly the monologuing private detective. He'd probably jump at the chance for an interview or just to have his business card featured somewhere in the magazine

    Thank you Zwillinger I know a few folks have sent a /bug in game about it, including me.
  6. That new patch broke the Tailor. Now not only can you not zoom in on the lower half of your character (it just zooms to your top half), you can no longer zoom in to your face or torso when browsing through the options!

I'm guessing the pub your on about is The Square Peg so I'd always come along for a bevvie or 2.
    I kind of know all the pubs in the city centre for some weird reason,probably because trying to find food for a coeliac is a pain. also the place in Digbeth maybe finished next year and also the USA team are training and staying here in Brum during the Olympics so could be interesting.
    You're more than welcome to pop along and say hi to everyone at Global Gaming over the weekend anyway

    Not sure when folks will be going for food/drinks (as in times etc) it was pretty staggered last year with people just going when they were hungry. A few of us did meet up on the Friday night, although having a couple of folks under 18 we ended up descending en-mass to the hotel a few of us were staying at and chatting till the wee hours of the morning, instead of going to the pub (I don't drink anyways ).

    Saturday evening a few of us did go to the Square Peg (Wetherspoons McPub) for a bite to eat. Best thing to do would be to pop down and see what's happening

    Global Gaming mentioned the possible move to Digbeth last year. If it's bigger and better premises with more computers then it might be a strong possibility for next year (If I'm still running these events and Paragon haven't taken over by then! Or unless there's suddenly a bigger better place elsewhere )

    So, if it were reversed and the game had been released in the EU first, and the game wasn't released in the US till a year later, would you be happy spending extra points/money to be on a level peg with people that had played the game from Beta? Even though you, yourself had played the game from the earliest opportunity in your country?
  9. A rather tatty and stained business card has been blue tacked to the notice board.

  10. I'll try and make this one!

    I meant to try and attend the last one with The Lollipop Snatcher, but real life got in the way. Hopefully this time he can attend and find a suitable employer maybe
  11. Just so long as there's still dialogue that can be read and it's not just a voice telling you what to do.

    Just a FYI in the small print:

    Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address or identity. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than one in-game facepalm emote by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, Facebook pages, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's plays or submissions (eg "a Like") and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, Internet service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

    still in two minds, i dont know many people attending and don't want to be an odd one out!
    Don't worry I don't know everyone that's coming along either and I'm running the thing The idea is just to meet fellow players and hopefully have a good time, make a few new friends and maybe win some shinies to take home.
  14. There's a fair few of us still around on Union Depends what time of day you're on though. We've also had quite a few overseas friends join us, although they tend to be online later than us EU folks.

We really don't know who Lady Gray is, or where she comes from, or the source of her powers, her motivations or agenda, etc. The new dialog for Prometheus just makes things worse, since it's made pretty clear that he isn't being straight with the PCs, either.
    Before she was The Lady Grey she was just plain old Lady Grey, an alien who crash landed in Paragon and is searching for her missing husband Lord Grey.

  16. In the UK city status was linked to having a cathedral. The only cathedral in game (if I recall) is Moth Cathedral, which would make Dark Astoria a city

    A Solo Way?

    I just want a way of being able to earn Astral Merits and Empyrean Merits without having to do an iTrial.

    At the moment I'm doing the WST (on one character only as it's the only one that the iAbilities would actually fit concept wise) and upgrading the Notice of the Well to 40 Threads, which I then use to either unlock iXP or make components to go in my unlocked Incarnate Abilities.

    The only thing that I can't currently do is purchase Auras or Emotes as I can't get Astral Merits or Empyrean Merits from anything other than iTrials, which I am not doing. I just want a way to change either Villain/Hero Merits, Merit Rewards (from completing story arcs etc) or something to get Astral Merits. Empyrean Merits could stay behind the iTrials to make the armour more special, but I don't see why auras and emotes have to be locked behind end-game content that I have no wish to do.

    A Solo Way?

    I've no idea if this has been suggested elsewhere, if it has I apologise.

    It's probably a crazy idea, but I'd love to be able to use my Hero/Villain Merits to obtain Astral Merits. Not sure how many H/V Merits it would take to hand in to get an Astral, but it would at least be a way for the solo and non-iTrial player to be able to eventually afford to get a new aura or emote.
  19. Every time I hear the name Marcus Cole I keep thinking of this guy
  20. Not sure what deals you can get over there, but my other half has just got one of these which he assures me is pretty good for gaming on as well as most other things.
  21. I use this handy guide so I don't out level any of the contacts in Praetoria. It's slow going, but I wanted to experience all of the arcs for a change.

    Your version is so creepy though
  23. I just went to the Tailor and Trench Coat's are still there for me. Are you sure you've not chosen wings or another back/chest detail that means Trench Coat has disappeared?
  24. It looks a little like he's thinking, "Gawd, how much longer do I have to wear this flying rig for, it's really beginning to pinch in in places it shouldn't. Can we hurry it up and just take the shot now?"

    Or he's just realised that he's about to get a metal knee to the face.
