Mine is this "-ps 64.25.34.140" but It might be the same for you. Waiting awhile might, eventually, pass the stuck phase starting at bytes and rises the speed slowly.

    Method 2 (on other PC): I'm not sure how it happened but it didn't get stuck even for a second. The only thing I did different, on my laptop, is install it without the discs but the "slow updating" guide mentioned in method 1 with "-ps 64.25.34.140" also.


    I really hope this helps. If you are an expert in programming then you can ask me a few questions about other possibilities why my PC in method 2 passed without getting stuck and can share it here
    If you had read the thread Dew, you would know that this issue was from back in April before I17.

    Quick Question

    Actually, once Fury is build up, ALL damage is increased. My question isn't about building up fury. My question is do you think if I build up fury then rush from mob to mob before it goes back down dramatically, would it be a good build.

    BTW, dispite what you read on paragon wiki, I have tested this out myself. I do more damage with lightening rod and sheild charge when by fury bar is up than when it's down.

    Cant connect

    I am trying to get on test server, but the client won't connect. I just get "Connecting.. #1", then "Connecting.. #2", and so on...I've gotten up to #9. Whats going on?

    Hey, Coming Storm....yea you right above this post. If you ever read through the replies, especially in a thread this short, your would see that what you said was ALREADY stated and replied to.

    For such a small patch, there must not be too many problems.... Maybe another 2 weeks and we all can see it in OB.

    I17 has been in closed beta for alittle over a week now (1 week 1 day to be exact) and there hasn't been any new patches being applied to the test server. I may not be in closed beta, but I can still receive the patches when they update i17 CB or fix problems with a patch. Maybe if there are no problems, or this continues, it will go into OB sooner than the average 28 days an issue is typically in CB.
  8. Just what the title says, I'm just curios as to how long an issue is in closed beta typically or on average?
  9. no excuse to ignore the community. I mean come on...if you make a thread called "Ask a Dev", you should take a minute to check in on it and answer even a few questions.

    With as many people working on this game, there is time to answer some questions.
  10. I was looking at the dev digest and I noticed, it's been months since a dev or moderator has posted anything in the other forums. Especially the training room, or player questions. Only the devs truly can answer player questions since the players don't know what this game can and cant do due to engine and software limitations. One dev actually posted an Ask a Dev thread, and got 3 pages of questions with not one answer. Why ask a dev if there will be no answer.

    Look through the other sections of this forum, go to the development section, answer the questions in ask a dev. That was just a slap in the face to tell us to ask you a question and never answer any of them.

    Time is fixed on Thursday, 4 March 2010 at 8:59 a.m. San Francisco time, DBL XP wont start for another 6 hours

    I'm gonna put my money on it wont start for another 6 hours
    oh, come on. He said 8:59 PST. That is not GMT. He said PST. That means for me atleast here is CST, that it won't start for another hour from this moment in time.
  12. This thread is about Double XP and account re-activation.. Not about the preorder. There is a seperate thread for that. Stick to the topic.
  13. I've been playing this game since Dec 26, 2004....I'm a veteran player who does still love this game... What I wanna know is...if Veteran players who know this game inside and out and knows how things should work and how things don't work can't get into any closed betas, how do they pick who gets in and who doesn't?
  14. Thats why I missed it. It should be in the Development section.
  15. Why not give us a Suggestions category in the forums. where we can suggest things on different aspects of the game, like gameplay and graphics, base, etc....

    There is no place to put any ideas or suggestions right now b/c it would be out of place. All the current forums can do now is let us ask questions. And if we make a thread about an idea we have and want to give the devs, we get flamed for being off topic and not asking a question.

    Like, here are some of my suggestions:__________________________________________________ ____

    How about the ability to swim underwater. That would open up some new missions and mission styles along with a new water powerset. And I don't mean zoning underwater, just go in the water, and look down, and press w...and poof, your underwater.

    How about (and I've mentioned this for years), make it where you can fly up, and when you hit the top of the map, your in a new zone.....SPACE!!!! make a zone a space station. for the non flyers, make a rocketship station, like a train station in 1 zone. Or teleporter somewhere in Atlas.

    How about more 3 dimensional trees that the leaves actually move seperate from the trunk....and make the truck bend with the wind.

    With the water, make waves happen instead of a particle splash. Make the water actually react to you, along with grass and bushes.

    Weather. In the whole time this game has been up and running, there hasn't be any rain, thunderstorms, overcast without zombies or ritki showing up, snow falling. Throw some weather out there.

    Moving hair is a good idea, Tired of my guys using millions of influence on extra firm hold hair gel. It's hair, not stone. It should move.

    As far as costumes, I would like to address the costume creator. How about giving us more options. how about giving us more choices for the head...of course. As for the body, Can you make it more customizable. Add upper left arm, upper right are, lower left arm, lower right arm. Chest is good, but add costume selection for abdomen. Lower body, how about as for as legging, do upper left and a seperate upper right, then lower left and lower right. It will open up more costume options, and make for some interesting costumes.

    Redesign the base so we can make actual mission style rooms without having to exploit stacking. And let us place rooms right next to each other....and let us have normal sized doorways.
  16. In which case they mislabel it due to the knowledge that most people don't care about the extra 24 megs, so they don't advertise the extra 24....but it's there no matter what they market. All computer computation for memory, storage, etc... is in bits....

    Computer talks in 8s, 8 bits make a byte, 1024 bytes make a kb, and so on and so forth. Just b/c HDD manufacturer says 1000megs for 1 gig, doesn't mean ****.

    It's just easier advertising to say 1000megs is a GB. Whos gonna miss 24 megs.

    And I got this from Seagate. I have a friend who works for them.

    Actually, in ALL computer terms, including HDD, 1GB equals 1024 megs, 1Meg is 1024KB, 1kb is 1024 bytes. Wiki it.

    It's not all new graphics, everything will be the same, just new shadows and water reflections. It would be nice if they updated the textures and models along with the shadows/lighting and refections. It would be a nice upgrade. I know this is a comic style game, but I'd like to see it become more lifelike graphically.

    Test Server Down

    Why is the TEST server down for so long. It just says connecting.... like it freezes up. Whats going on? I know i17 is supposed to start, but it never freezes up the launcher before.
  21. Yea, I've been with the game every since December of the year this game was released. And I haven't been in 1 closed beta. So it doesn't matter how loyal you are to the game....or how long you've been playing it. It's just a matter of being lucky enough to be in closed, or having the ability to drop your life and risk your job by taking off work to go to a comicon or a PAX and sign up for CB.
  22. DP went live today, but when I go to make a new toon, it's greyed out and can't select it. Why is that?
  23. MEdelen

    Closed beta

    ok, I can still log into test...and I17 isn't there. I hope my account is invited. I've been with the game since within the first year the game was released. I wanna help debug whatever problems arise. When is CB gonna start today?
