I never understood the use of 'mob' for a single foe.

Main Entry: mob
Pronunciation: \mäb\
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin mobile vulgus vacillating crowd
Date: 1688

1: A large or disorderly crowd ; especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action.
2: The lower classes of a community : masses, rabble.
3: Chiefly Australian : a flock, drove, or herd of animals.
4: A criminal set : gang ; especially often capitalized : mafia.
5: Chiefly British : a group of people : crowd.

More than one mob gets you mobs.

Thanks for the link Z_Man!

What TJ said, start a ticket with CS, have it escalated if need be. I've heard of issues in the past when free months were awarded, pushing the payment dates back and also pushing your Vet award dates back. (Which shouldn't happen, but does on occasion.)

Escalating through CS is your only real recourse. Have a little patience, and don't rage on Customer Support, they're there to help resolve any issues, they don't cause them. If anything, your badge will be a couple of days late, just make sure that your award dates are still accurate by checking you account.

Not sure where this goes so I'm posting it here.

On test server, When I try to respec, it allows me to do so as normal but when I exit out it gives me a mapserver lost connection then DCs me. When I log the character back in,the respec reverts back to the old design and nothing happens.

Any status on this bug would be appreciated.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this just on one character? Or does it happen to all of you characters?
Is it a /respec? Freespec? Vetspec?

The more information you can include, the easier it will be for the Dev's to track it down. The /bug dialog boxes allow for very limited space to enter information. When you get a ticket from NCsoft about the bug, reply with more detail. (And don't forget to put your reply comments between the two rows of green text in their email.)

Found out mine is bugged not banned............. looks for can of raid to fix

[/ QUOTE ]

You should recheck you MArc's after each update Warface, it's farely common for something to break. As for the banning process, if a MArcs get locked for potentially a farm, and the CS review deems that it is indeed not a farm, then it cannot be banned again. Editing the MArc again after that, will remove it's 'un-banable' tag.

I had an almost identical problem, ended up being the motherboard. HP replace that, plus the video card, and the screen along with it.

I love my DB/WP Brute. On the team that I dinged 50 with, prior to that we were in a CoT maze with so many Mages and Behemoths cramming the hallway that I could not see a darn thing, so I just kept swinging until their health bar went away then tabbed to the next one. Meanwhile the rest of the team (all except 1 I think) were inspecting tile grout shouting "Go Ivory, GO!"

Once you build up Fury, and nail the attack Combo's, it's quite amusing to see a wall of Mage's and Behemoth's go '<censored> over tea kettle.'

perhaps its time for a translator that acts as a filter to change idiot text to readable text.

[/ QUOTE ]

Too simple. I'd rather that it highlighted the misspelled words in big, red text, that required them to change it themselves before they could actually send it.

[ QUOTE ]
I support this idea. Anything that helps identify Farm Missions is a good thing.

LOL

The question about the map has come up before, and I'm pretty sure the consensus was that, the map from the AE Edition and the GvsE Edition are different.

I'm currently at work and can't check.

EDIT: Thanks IronYeti

[ QUOTE ]
I hate to say it, but it might be nice if they expanded that to not only include inactive accounts, but also inactive characters (with a significantly higher time limit, of course).

There's bound to be many of us (myself included) that have lost and forgotten characters on random servers that we haven't touched in years, even though our accounts have never gone inactive for an excess of 90 days.

(Or, you know, that one name I keep trying to get back that hasn't been logged in since before globals went in, but is apparently protected by the 90-day account limit.. *grump*)

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be a big no from me. Perhaps I came up with a name a year ago, but none of the current powerset combination's available at the moment work for my concept to go with that name? I'd be peeved if, one day I logged in and saw Generic XXX XXX XXX.

Thanks GF!

And a big thanks to CuppaManga for working with us on this and fielding it to the appropriate Red Name.

I vote for new content and bug fix's.

When I started CoH... almost 2 years ago now (wow)... I began with the free trial (which I think was longer than 14 days), I tried WoW as a free trial at the same time. Guess which won out!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, it was 14 days, but there wasn't the level cap in place. I tried the EQ2 trial prior to this, it looked better than EQ (which I got bored with after 3 weeks,) but it just felt like the same old grind as before. Have some friends that played WoW, the looks alone had nothing to draw my in so I never wasted my time.

I tried the CoH trial, to the full 14 days, really enjoyed it. Went out and bought the HvsV box. I'll get my 21 Badge next month and last month I did the 1yr sub.

EDIT: Oh, and I've purchased, every, single, edition/booster available. Just got my grubby, little hands on the CoV DVD Collectors Edition }:> (Got two of those actually, the first was the EU version. So be wary of any you find being sold on the web.)

So what you're saying is that, my Main is not using the proper stance for drawing her bow?

Didn't someone do a video of the Fall of Atles on Valor Bridge in IP? I remember seeing it during the lead-up to the 5th Anniversary Homage video contest.

[/ QUOTE ]

Samuraiko's 5th Anniversary Commemorative Video.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, that was me and my 5th anniversary video. And it didn't qualify for the Video Homage contest because a) I released it a day early, b) it's too long, and c) it's demorecorded instead of live action.

It is entirely possible to build a character that large in the game - *I* did it using democode, not any trick in Sony Vegas or somesuch. No reason why THEY can't do it.

So yeah, devs, build an official Atlas and let's see a TF/SF of Atlas vs the 5th Column, circa 1941.

Samuraiko, I watched that again today and I've got to say, that's the coolest video I've seen so far. From you, or anyone else.

Well, all of my Alt's on Justice are already in an SG, but I might have one or two on Infinity I can throw your way, just to pad you roster.

Absolute riot, Steel!

Wishing you well, Warface!

Ultimo, why not just use functional rooms, and decorate those?

As for the simplest 'functional' base, if it's just you, you can get away with one teleport pad. Just swap out the beacons for the location you wish to go. That and a work room is all I have in my VG.

I might have missed it, what server are you on?

Nope, that wouldn't be me.

But,

Happy Birthdy!

5. If it were my machine, I would do it. (If there's no/little thread in messing up the machine here at work, I might. But you'd have to walk me through it.)

EDIT: CuppaManga, I noticed that there are four attempts there at the beginning. That was where the "Connecting #1..." CoHUpdater would appear, showing 1.2G/0.0G. It would stay there for about 3 seconds, close, then the CoHUpdater would come back with the "cider-COHD-Updater-002591.tgz" constantly looping.

The first 'connect #1" updater [u]did not[u] repeat 4 times. Could it be that somewhere, something is not freeing up, and it's still seeing those 3 previous attempts?
