Couple of clarifying questions:
1) Has this been a long-standing issue with this character, or just tonight?
2) What type of mission is it? General content? Newspaper? Mayhem? Tip or Morality?
3) On the off chance that it's an issue with the mission itself, have you tried auto-completing it, or doing other missions?
4) I respect your desire to avoid saddling a team with your issue, but if you let them know "Hey, I've got this issue and might disconnect unexpectedly, can you help me try to finish this darn thing?" you might be pleasantly surprised at others' willingness to help. This game is generally cool that way.
1) This has been a long standing issue with every character, all the time, anytime.
2) This seems to happen in any mission. Im running a loyalist and a resistance member. I do all sorts of missions for my arcs and other peoples, but the mapserver disconnect does not seem to care. It just does it.
3) I plan on attempting to Autocomplete the mission, however this is a really fun mission and it's a shame to auto-complete it. I mean, when Im doing it it's a blast. I love it until I disconnect.
4) actually...I have only ever played on Virtue, but if I take that experience and stick it to the other servers, then I can completely say that I know they would understand. This community is really good...and coming from AOC (Well returning to this game after a long break) I can see that it is prolly one of the best communities.
Im still trouble shooting though. Making sure things are all up to date. If push comes to shove Ill contact support. They have been good in the past for helping me. -
Well. I thought I would post.
Im not sure what else to do. So I thought you fab people might help me out.
I am on Virtue and I am map servering like crazy.
I have been farming a mission (Im not really a farmer, just a forced one)
for a good 2 hours because I get near the end and I get map server connection lost and poof, Im back to the login screen.
I have called my ISP, and they say nothing is wrong. The router is up to date and so are all my drivers. I have changed the virtual memory as per instructions on the NCsoft support page and even lowered my settings to ensure that the game is running for quality.
My router might be the issue, but I have never had an issue with it for any other game or anything at all really.
Is this a common thing. Are others out there having issues with it.
I dont want to team with people with my Rad/Dark Corr because sometimes I am the only healer and I feel like I let them down because I disconnect and they dont have a healer.
So I have been soloing most of the content. Im not 100% complaining because now my illusionist is decked out with some great equipment and inventions. Im just concerned that she will never finish this mission and Ill be doing it for eternity!
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you can, try setting your DNS server to be "8.8.8.8" (this is Google's free DNS service, and a pretty good backup for when your ISP's DNS servers are sucking like a forty grand hoover.)
Second, try downloading TweakCOH. It has a tab that pings all the relevant servers and tells you which ones you're having problems with.
Thanks a ton!
Customer service just got back to me as well. So Ill try all of my options out when I get home from work.
Maybe...just maybe there is hope -
Ok. Im getting a touch frustrated here. Im still having the same issues and no customer service response at all.
Cityofheroes.com shows a google dead link due to dns and it cant find the server.
The same with the forums (except now Im at work do it works)
Anything that is associated with city of heroes other than NCsofts home page gives me the DNS server error.
I have done the ipconfig /flushdns but until they fix their servers it will always cache to this.
I have checked my router, and have diretly connected to my internet, and even turned off my firewall. I turned it back on of course. I lowered my security settings and nothing works
Im 5 days into my 30 day freeness, and I did put 6 months down, but unless I can get some help, Im at a loss, and I really want to come back to the game.
Thanks in advance

Past few weeks it been a mess with the DNS and security certificate on the Ncsoft pages.
Ok. so this is just not me then. Others are having similar issues. Im just eager to play, a few of my friends returned and I really want to be in game -

Also try Start>run command then type ipconfig /flushdns
P.S. maybe the stuff I posted earlier too?
Apparently placeing good luck charms and treasure trolls around the computer with sprigs of lavender in their hair is not a repair procedure.
Who knew! -

What side of the pond are you on, US or EU?
Their DNS has been flakey recently, without any acknowledgement of the issue from anyone at NCSoft here (which is pretty chronic).
Im actually in Canada. Funny though all and every other page I ever use is fine. -

When i try to connect to city of heroes, it starts at connecting #1 and keeps counting up, after three hours it was at connecting #261 and was still counting up, what is the problem?
Thats sounds exactly whats happening to me. are the graphics also showing that the webpage cannot be viewed. I have been getting DNS errors on all the pages save for the NCsoft home page.
Maybe we are having the same issue. Mu Launcher is doing the same thing -
Hi everyone. I am a new player...well not new exactly, but I just bought the architect edition because I lost my old disks.
But that being set aside, I am having a serious tech issue.
If I go to cityofheroes.com google tells me that the link I clicked is dead and that there are DNS issues. The same thing when I tried going to the forums. (Im at work right now so it works)
The update/launcher loads up, but does not download patches and the graphics that are in the box come up as Windows cannnot show webpage again from the DNS.
Im completely lost as to what to do. I do use a router, so maybe it needs to be rebooted? Im not sure, and Im not techy really.
NCsoft pages opened just fine for me to make my account and buy a 6 month package. but even it's slow.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ps. I did open a ticket to customer service already but have yet to hear back
