Positron, these sound simply awsome. But one thing about the new things coming thru for the in system email. Put in a feature that allows comments from people who run your AE programs to bypass the filter.

Setting it so that you get emails blocked from spammers and inf sellers is awsome, but just make sure it doesnt also block the person who's trying to give you a nice pat on the back for a well written story.

Also, to add to the list here. Also unable to keep connected to my global chat.

Yep, that's right. The losing global chat bug appears to be back. I thought that one was fixed....

Might want to put what server you were on at least, so that the techs can at least document where the complaint is coming from.

Tech issue & bugs forum, not rant forum.

Plus, there's a ton of other threads already on this subject. Yeah, yeah. I started a post up too without looking to see if there were others.

Ok, I hate to do this but I have to complain about the connection issues this weekend. All weekend long Protector server has had bad issues with lag, Sunday alone I failed not one, but two timed missions because of getting disconnected from the server. A Mayhem mission and a timed mission from the Efficentcy (sp, I know.) Expert.

Now our server was no where near full, so there shouldnt be these issues. Now I know I've had problems in the past on my end, but on our fairly full global chat room I heard more then 1 person complaining about the same thing.

I sure hope that the tech's for CoH will look into what's going on with these servers before our next double XP weekend.

I would say not at the launch of I16. But at this point saying that the devs wont do something is a risky proposition. I never would have expected them to even consider starting down the road of alternate animations for certin powers.

So that this point I've gotta say, who the heck knows.

Semi-related: Castle, can you at least confirm or deny that the list shown on the site (Rad Blast for Blasters, etc) is comprehensive? Is it just a 'these are some of' list, or is that all the ones being ported? Just to direct the speculation from here, so we don't get several months of "But there could be more!" if there isn't going to be.

[/ QUOTE ]

If it is the same list I saw last week, and I am 99% certain it is, then it contains everything being proliferated in I16.

[/ QUOTE ]

You guys can probably blame me for these sets. I specifically asked them to proliferate sets that wouldn't require new animations or VFX, as we're already swamped with supporting power customization. We had to make one new animation for Broadsword Stalkers, but other than that they were able to directly port everything over or at least pull powers and visuals from existing powersets.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont see why we have to blame you for anything. Looking at all the wonderful stuff listed as coming with I16 and people are complaining already? Why didnt villains get illusions, why didnt blah blah blah.

Need I remind everyone here that with MOST other MMO's you have to pay seperately for these expansions. If you dont see something yet that you want, be sure it's more then likely coming down the pipe at a later time. After all, it isnt like they're almost done with issues. The game has a long long way to go.

So, after 19 pages, I think we all have learned that

It still hasn't been denied that I16 is the synchronization patch for Going Rogue.

It hasn't?

Not when BAB says it.

He may be a good Dev (in fact I know he is) but basically nothing he says in this forum about things happening in the future can ever be completely trusted 100%. He has a bad habit of having "limited" credibility in that area whether on purpose or not. Ironically if he's telling the truth here he's "embellished" other statements so much it's hard to take him at face value anymore. *shrugs*

[/ QUOTE ]

And it's people like this clown that create the atmosphere that makes the devs not want to tell us anything.

Bravo, keep up the good work. Soon the devs will be like in most other MMO's and never talk to the playerbase.

I dunno Bill, lately a lot of the things that no one thought would come to the game are either here or on the way.

Flashbacks, side switching, body changing and power customization are a few that jump right out at me. Personally, I hope total respecs never see the light of day. But these guys have surprised me latley.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bill's copy pasta pretty much covers the reasons not to allow this functionality. As far as I am concerned, we'll never allow this...but, of course, I've been wrong before.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have to say, I hope this option never sees the light of day too. We have enough character slots, why do we need AT respecs? And that in a nutshell is why I think we'll never see it. I dont think the playerbase wants it. At least most of it anyways, judging by what I read here.

Could be. First things first though. We have to survive issue 15.

Ugh. First David Carradine, then Ed Mcman, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. And now Billy Mays?

That's 5. So we have 1 more to go? I know that sound kinda morbid. But these things happen in 3's right?

And on a unrelated note. Who keeps running thru the forums 1 starring everything. UGH!

Sure, if my internet connection doesnt crap out on the first mission and I spend the next 4 hours trying to get back in the game.

The trial I mean.

If you need someone I'd be more then willing to help with the respec trial. I'll bring PF. I've done it 1000s of times.

It's safe now children. You can all come out now.

Ya know, I think I've seen you post this in several places around the forums here. I do think we've beaten the joke to death enough. Haven't we?

Bah, if your more hated then me. Good for you. Stick around, I need someone to draw the heat off of me from time to time.

Jesus War. I live in horror that one of those things will bite me.

Dont even take any chances with it. Keep in touch with a doc until he files a restraining order on you.

Here's a question I've always wanted to ask:

By the 45-50 level range, the Nemesis has obviously gained the ability to spread his mind across multiple bodies, but how does that work? Is it one conscience controlling multiple suits of armour like he had a hundred hands, or is it multiple "people" all existing as copies of the same mind? At one point, the former appears to be the case, where two Fake Nemesis will finish each other's sentences. At another point, the latter seems true, as "Nemesis?" asks "Have we met? Or was this another Nemesis?" suggesting that the one I'm fighting now may not be the same despite sharing the same mind.

How does that work?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it's both. The Fake Nemesis' can either be autonomous robots, or Lord Nemesis can directly involve himself in that one (or two) remotely. When dealing with a Fake Nemesis, you don't know if you're dealing with a robotic automaton acting on it's own, or Lord Nemesis' mind in control of that robotic automaton.

[/ QUOTE ]

The thing that stands out to me though, is the "Have we met?" line. This makes me think that all the Fakes are connected to one brain... but that brain isn't always in the same time-line. The "Nemesis?" that we face is likely a version of Nemesis from the past who had come forward to the future, being our present, for some reason. I think any disparity between any of the Fakes is likely caused by them either being part of a Nemesis from a different time period or part of a Nemesis from a different dimension, and every dimension's Nemesis is plotting in every other dimension and plotting behind every other Nemesis's back. Or, it's just a Nemesis plot to confuse us and make us wonder about the true nature of the Fakes.

[/ QUOTE ]

First of all, reading and trying to understand that gave me a nosebleed.

But secondly, has anyone considered the possibility that Nemesis is just plain bat crap nuts? Or has dementia?

And to expand on that just a little bit. Alot of the greatest minds have little quirks about them. It's also been true that some of the most dangerous people in history have not be mentally sound. So it is at least a little possible that Nemesis is crazy?

[ QUOTE ]
If you watch carefully, when they are defeated, you can see their souls departing. I believe this is Vanessa DeVore eating their souls. The punishment for failure.

[/ QUOTE ]

I always thought it was 1 of 2 things. Either that....

1 The Carnies are all possessed. When defeated the possessed soul leaves the body along with all the power that the mask gives

Or...

2. It's the control that Vanessa has directly over the Carnie itself that is fleeing the bodfy upon defeat. Either way I always kinda figured that the Carnie that you fight really have little control of what's being done to them.

Gotta say that worked. But why. What the heck is wrong with the updater that it's doing that. And is this going live?!

Ok, been trying for the last couple of days to figure this out and I'm at a loss.

I run the updater and when I click next it just does nothing. Sends me right back to windows, the updater closes out and CoH test doesnt start up. Any idea what gives?

this game should lower its monthly fee to $9.99 instead of 14.99 imo. its getting old. its 5yrs old now. any game this old should not be going for 14.99/month still. if the rate wasn't so high i would keep my subscription going for a longer time. since its so high i will only subscribe for one more month before quiting.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it shouldnt. We get FREE updates to the game. With the exception of the occasional expansion. You think they're getting free updates over on WoW?

As far as you saying your going to pay for one more month then leave. If money is getting tight and times are hard. Then if you have to take a short break then so be it. It happens to the best of us (me included several months ago) But lowering the price would give them less month to put into the R&D for our new issues and the money to pay the people who design it all.

Thanks Mirai, funny that I didnt see that when I searched thru community/devs digest and didnt see that.

We were on Protector. You know, I wonder if all the servers are down, one second while I check......

Well, according to everything on the server status page. Everything is up already.

No notice, no nothing. Bad form Paragon Studios!
