I don't know about this....
More New Lore Pets
Choose from more Lore pets! We've expanded the Lore Incarnate Slot to provide additional suites of summonable pets to choose from. Summoning these new pets requires crafting new Incarnate abilities. (You can only have one type of Incarnate pets out at a time, and Incarnate Shifts from crafting multiple Lore abilities don't stack with each other.)
The new pet choices are Arachnos, Carnival of Shadows, Cimeroran, , Longbow, Nemesis, Phantoms, Polar Lights, Robotic Drones, Rularuu, Rikti, Storm Elementals, and Vanguard.
Where are the special pets for existing MMs? Why do we need 12 more lore pets when they only last for 5 minutes and you can't change team for 15 minutes(if no one else has changed their slots due to a cooldown timer bug). Allow MMs to expand their exisiting minions! -

Quote:It's probably both of these, I think we get more code tomorrow and you always want to be able to pack more players on to existing servers. Know the limits allow for capacity planning.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
1. You want to hammer new code with as much load as possible to try to break it, regardless of whether you think you'll actually have that much load normally.
2. You expect the server load on Freedom itself to increase over time for some reason: either more players, more player activity, or more CPU intensive activity per player in the future (i.e. more high density events). -
My section is ready for review now.

2. Once the tool starts, it looks like this, http://jumbofiles.com/gohi12eumtnr/Hero1.png.html
This tool right now can track what we need it to do but I will post the options windows for those of you who are interested in greater depth. But right now the tool will work, all you have to do is start the game and it will start to track statistics. See here for what it looks like when you activate your character, http://jumbofiles.com/a8uce1i996i3/Hero2.png.html. This picture shows stats in the main box. The game will name the file after your character logged in and add a date. All you have to do is hit the save key after the game or session.

Well, *I* don't know what that collects. Maybe you do; maybe it is enough. I am neither a user of Herostats nor a statistician by trade.
However, the biggest burden on both your volunteers and your reading public will be if you forget some obvious-to-others criterion that renders the whole exercise a waste of time or, worse, results in misinformation.
It seems self-evident to me that ironing out the specifics in advance, especially by enlisting the brainpower of other knowledgeable players who might think of things you do not, would not only give you more useful data, but also help persuade doubters (by getting them to buy into to the terms of the experiment before data collection begins). But your mileage may vary.
All valid concerns. I'll go and put a basic setup profile and post the images or links to the images. I had a guy on the other post put together a specific spreadsheet but we can't implement fully his solution at this time but he gave a good model. Also, I'm talking with the herostats folks about some of our issues.
I'll post the pictures for the herostat setup shortly...My goal right now is to collect to the limits of Herostat and sort it out later. I have an HPC 2008 cluster so I can clean up the data pretty quick. -

"We have a goal of exceeding our highest ever peak concurrent users on a single server, which is 3500 players. But we might not be able to make that, so we will at least settle for 2500. If we get 2500 concurrent players on the Freedom server on May 27th between the hours of 4PM and 7PM Pacific, we will leave the badge on for the rest of the holiday weekend (May 27th through May 30th) on *ALL* European and North American servers.
We timed this event to coincide with the greatest typical number of concurrent players worldwide to give the most people possible the chance to get the badge. If you don't have a character on Freedom, you can simply create one and log in to get the badge.
If you can't make it on the 27th or over the Memorial weekend, we will absolutely give you another opportunity to get the badge in a few months. If you DO get the badge this weekend, youll have some measure of exclusivity for a few months, maybe enough exclusivity to get you to log in real quick before you hit the hay or hit the clubs. And we want to ensure that this badge is prestigious, so the next opportunity will be a limited-time window as well, though longer than three hours to be sure.
When we run this event, we will be able to open the server queue wider than we have ever been able in the past (maybe even turn it off) and we think we can get a ridiculous number of you on Freedom all at the same time, more than we have ever been able to support. We've made some server optimizations that will make it possible to run our servers more efficiently for the future and hold *way* more players on any piece of hardware; this improvement will help us continue to support City of Heroes efficiently for the future. One of the smartest guys I've ever had the pleasure to know has been working insanely hard on this for months, and we want to ensure that he can go back to actually getting sleep at night, comfortable that his hard work has paid off.
You don't even have to stick around and fight off the Praetorian invasion: logging in during the window will grant the badge, and you can log out and go back to your home server. But maybe if you stick around and get into a group, you'll help reach the goal and have some fun at the same time. Imagine seeing more versions of Atlas Park than you have ever been seen before!"

70+ instances of the game? I hope I get into Cap Au Diable 20 or St. Martial 15? -

Without time elapsed info, number of shards info is useless.

You tell me the shards you got and we can start to build some models. -
I want to state my reasons again for starting this thread:
1. A place to start collecting statistical information.
2. See what others are doing in the game/tfs.
3. Try to address some concerns in my other thread:

Bearing that in mind, it might behoove you to first have a thread discussing what data fields you should be capturing to return statistically useful results.

My VGs, Knights of Arachnos, Champions of Arachnos and Legion of Arachnos, as well as fellow coalition VG mates are forming a coalition league and are brazenly jumping right into the Praetorian Surge, lag or no lag!
We will not shirk from our opportunity to not only participate in the lag, but to aid in its creation!
Our goal: the crashing of the Freedom Server!
Long live Arachnos!
MUWHAHAHAHAAHAHA!
I had to relisten to Recluse's agenda after hearing your comments, http://jumbofiles.com/rbvkkpsc0apn/G...cluse.wav.html
Don't try anything!! I'll be watching you...Terrorists

What's the plan? I've participated in the one on Union and it was a lagfest. I read the others were much the same. If things continue as such, I expect that we will crash the Freedom servers. I heard a rumor that we might get a patch fix for lag on Thursday.
I plan to do the following late Friday.
1. I plan to turn my video card to the lowest settings.
2. Stay in one zone for the duration of the raid
3. Most likely run on the Villain side because I know the Hero side will be oversubscribed.
Anyone want to post their plans? I'm curious to hear what others plan to do. -
We have an ongoing thread about which tf gives the most shards. I do not play this game enough to collect the amount of statistics needed.
If any of you play these TFs with teams of 8 could you post your herostat file please? We trying to build a database of results.
Herostats can be downloaded here: http://www.herostats.org/
Also, post this information:
1. Team Makeup:

You need to reinstall it. I just downloaded it and it's pretty quick for me.

What I wish right now is that we stop running respec WSTfs. I hate it and nobody runs 'em during the week.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
The word socialist does not mean someone who socializes with others.
It means a member of the Socialist Party or someone who supports or advocates socialism.
Socialism - a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
I laughed when I read this. Thanks for making my day. I said it this way on purpose. The socialist system is based on what you said in theory but it's a lie. The system failed because the people it claimed to represent just couldn't get be efficient enough under it...just like a large non-optimized SG. -

It always amazes me how many people seem to forget that Lynda Carter (who played the role on TV for years) was hardly the "athletic" type either. The people who want a Wonder Woman who looks like she could -actually- handle herself in a real world fight will likely always be disappointed.
Let's face it: if another live action Wonder Woman ever gets made the actress playing her is far more likely going to look like Lynda or Adrianne than not. And why not really - the character's power comes from being associated with the magic of the gods. She doesn't need to look "big and beefy" to be believable. Look at Supergirl. Without her powers she's just a wisp of a girl who'd probably "fall down and cry" if she were punched in the face too. Same deal with Wonder Woman.
If you didn't like Adrianne for the role that's fine. But please don't fool yourself into thinking the next one is going to be much different from her. *shrugs*
You've made some valid points here. Adrianne could of been a "Hard" WW but the show would have to be nonstop combat. If she was going to run a corporation, we need one that looked more like Lynda Carter. They botched this... -
Tonight's run. Only 4.7 MB. I have a few on the team that killed the hostages and tried to stealth everything despite me telling them it wasn't a speed run but I still got 10 shard drops. This run was only a 1.5 hours and then I got disconnected after we reached the mission objectives on the last mish.

Quote:Developers won't go for this on an existing game. I hate to say this but who would knowingly enter a game with so many restrictions?Originally Posted by VoodooGirl
- 15-30 contacts (The issue with restricting contacts is then you just leave free accounts to "street sweep" to level - and when you get that timed mission where you have to defeat 30 Carnies in 15 minutes?)
- 30-40 contacts (see above.)
- 40-50 contacts (see above.)
- Incarnate (As stated earlier (albeit after this was originally posted,) I could see this being a subscriber-only feature.)
- Radio/Newspaper also for sale in level tiers (You have to leave the free players something to grind!)
- Tip missions as well (Along the lines of side-switching, AE, Blackmarket, etc. I can agree with this being subscriber only content and/or limited purchase-ables.)
- Access to TF individually for sale (Some of these TF's are "core content" about the main storyline of CoH/CoV and I'm a bit iffy with the idea of making them purchase-ables.)
- Limited market slots (can buy more) (Agreed.)
- Limited costume slots (can buy more) (Agreed.)
- Limited character slots (can buy more) (Agreed.)
- Low influence cap, you can buy bigger wallets. (2 millon cap?)
