  1. I am currently getting horrible lag in game when it comes to moving, and typing. There is about a 10-15 second delay from when I cease pressing 'w' to go forward to when I actually stop moving, and my chat box is so lagged behind when I type that I am finishing sentences, and starting new ones before the text even appears on my screen, let alone in the chat channel.

    I know someone else on Protector is having this problem, is anyone else dealing with this too? And how to stop it?

    I hated that.

    It's up

    The servers are now up, but when I try to log in I get a message that my account is restricted while NCSoft employees verify the patch has gone through, or something like that.

    Just as an aside, when you enter your password into the login screen, is anyone else experiencing lag doing that?
  5. Just out of curiosity, how would one KNOW that they've downloaded a virus from that?

    Heh I remember that... Don't forget a costume without a cape!

    I wonder though how much, if any, lag power customization brought on.

    Btw, that specialized form of aggro can be negated with a jewelry debuff. Usually a necklace, or bracelet with some form of stone found on the Moh's scale.

    I was over on Liberty earlier for the event - here's what I saw around AP...

    2 Eochais
    2 Jacks
    Ghost Widow
    Winter Lord
    Sirocco
    Lord Recluse
    a couple of Babbages

    And a whole lot of lag. Lots of lag. Mass confusion, chaos and debt. It's almost like Badge set it up!

    Prob cos most people will be playing new content, or leveling Demon Masterminds, or maybe even enjoying the new Posi TF and have no time for a raid.

    That absolutely sucks, Yeti. There are people on Protector that I don't like either, and sometimes, I end up on teams with them. It's a TF though, so it's not like it's a lifetime commitment we're talking about. When it happens, I just grin and bear it for 2 hours or so, then walk away. I can't imagine getting painted guilty by association though. That just sucks.

    Either that, or Grey has Celiac's disease.

    I mean, posting on the boards, spamming 4 global channels, broadcast and tells? Clearly, you need to do MORE. If only you had someone to hack into all the SG's MoTDs as well as the global chat channels, that might help. As well, you need to start going to people's homes and forcing them to play redside. [/sarcasm]

    I said it to you earlier today Kid, and I meant it: I may not be able to attend Hami Raids, but I for one appreciate the HELL out of what you guys do each week. It's hard, unpaid, often thankless work; coordinating teams, not to mention getting the word out and making sure people know there's a raid. Even making sure that people have EoEs is a chore, as it's not something that a regular team can accomplish; a Hami Raid is serious business on either side.

    Once the red side numbers are there, I'm positive the Hami Raids will fall into place. Until then, thank you for the Blue Side raids!

    That's a lot of players on the server who aren't getting the message.
    There's a post made every week, well in advance of the raid, which points players to references to learn how to do a Hami Raid, and the pros/cons, and rewards thereof. It's announced on Jello Shooters periodically. And Kid actually sends tells to people to let them know about the upcoming raid.

    The board is the one constant that everyone has access to, so at what point do you assign some personal responsibility to the regular player to find out what's going on on their server?

    I am pretty sure that most of the people that usually lead the Hami Raids said on Jello Shooters the other night that they weren't doing red side anymore because of the lack of interest/attendance.

    It is cool to see that someone else may be trying it though. I wish them luck.
  22. I would like a City of Heroes brand spork for my lunchbox, please.

    Or an all 'T' Hami raid next weekend?

    Here's a link to the Brute Guides Page. It may not have your exact powerset, but it will give you some ideas and slotting suggestions for your powers.

    As well the Archetype and Powers forums are invaluable in getting information and asking questions about your favourite powersets!
