So it aint the team's who decide who'll be the champion, but the referee's. Alike the match of Argentina vs Mexico, same story where he didnt see the offside.
At 4pm its time for our folks, with a bad-reputation (i like to trow yellow cards around) referee.. aint looking good -

If im not mistaken, wasnt the latest change to fire tanks actualy a buff? (-slow resist on temp.protection).

Quote:If my timezone maths are right, it wouldnt be a problem if they still had the EU officeThis is probably also why the events won't run all day. It is also a huge reason why modern MMO companies hate running live events.
(or that would be 05:00, why cant they just stick with the GMT timezoning*?) -
Thats where i submitted my questions.
-
I wrote a few questions, but when i want to see the 'live answer', it asks me to create an account
Is there no other way to see the questions earlier then on the facebook site?

Quote:Eventualy, it is a matter of time. They cant keep it up forever, having US side getting more crowded and EU side going in his last breaths.ya i wish we could get on the US servers on an EU account but right now they won't merge the server list...but i hope they do before EU side goes dead
I wonder, on the meet&greed next week, how many will attend from the Zudunkft and villigance servers. -
First big kudo's for having a good timetable on the european players, 18:00 till 22:00 is great
Sadly thus i wont be able to be around on the NA servers, would love to get some badges and exp there also. -

Quote:I know all of em, but they were the US side, we had our own cute crew of EU peeps (brighton).I mean, there are people who probably wouldn't even remember who Lighthouse and Ex Libris were, let alone Aura or CuppaJo. Does anyone remember (gasp!) Statesman? Arctic_Sun and Gilgamesh? Crickette?
I still remember my first days, we spend the first 2 weeks just finding the perfect outfit before leveling. Then 3rd person in the group was faster, so she came to me some day ingame, she could fly.. i mean FREAKING FLY! I was only 8 and she was 14, like OMG! And that at a 800x600 resolution, my videocard couldnt handle 1024x768 properly.
Little i knew, the 36 lvls after 14 would take longer -

Quote:I met my matchAccording to my account:
72 months - Apr 4, 2010
Still awaiting the 72 month vet award as of yesterday.
But seems perfectly right, our registration date is 12 months in between. I should have stayed on the US side, i would have had the same 72 months(this is my EU account, made 1 year later).
-
I havent touched my EU accounts for a while already, dispite my subs are still running (i got 60 months, so i finaly got that travel-power at 6
).
I play MMORPG's for the first M in the name, massively. Aka, lotsa players to play with, great interaction, tons of fun, in short: enjoy gaming.
On defiant it feels like playing a MORPG, although multiplayer, there is no massively to be found anymore. Yesterday i hit my 60months, went ingame and only saw a mere 30 people online (i care little for those on /hide, since they dont like to party then anyway).
Why would i need to join a channel, to even find a party? Why the majority of people in grey in the /sea list never respond if i politly ask if they have a spot?
Apart from this whole story, my altoholism has been fooked serious by PlayNC, on the US you have a trashload more of characterslots to play around then on EU. Basicly i only can use Zudunkft and villigance for storage slots, having a client in thus language and everyone speaking it.. i never had any german or french at school (err gemuse? Fernseher? voule vou somethingsomething moi?).
And so my characters, some worth over a billion by now (lotg recharge, bigtime baby), are collecting dust, once in a while log in to hover around in Desert of Heroes or City of Solo.
And the excuse, then make a party.. See in MMO's u have groups, how they play, how they act, such as the roleplayers. Others dont like to linger around 20 minutes just to fill up a team with 4 people (and the other 20 not responding), they prefer the 'passive player' style. In a 'healthy' MMO, that never was/is a problem, in EU side you basicly forced to work this way.
Serious, you want to introduce someone to CoH, you really gonna put him in desert-Atlas? Wouldnt it be more of a 'city of' feeling if you toss him into Atlas of Freedom (ignore /b chat) and see how he fights along a dozen of other heroes? Isnt the solo part already been done in the tutorial? (where u even on the US see quite alot of people).
Sure, you have have your solid supergroup and coalition, but within the view of commercial succes? EU side been dead for a long time already (on several dutch forums i'm active within the CoH topics, i always advice them go US, both support-wise as player-wise). -
Today (april 12), according to my account management, 1 of my EU accounts reached 60 months
Sadly not many online on Defiant atm to celebrate it with (34 online), so i just make a post here
So for the developers, or accountmanagers, for my 5year birthday, can i get a EU->US transfer? -
Quote:From the missions i ran yesterday in a team, the 'not targetable' time is way longer then the rez-animation actualy is (Kzzzzt he stands up, goes combat stance, turns to you, if ranged he already starts an attack.. THEN he is targetable).Hmm. That does sound bad. However, I think the PCs are still having the rez bug where using certain rez/wakie/power combinations skips the rez animation entirely (toon on floor - rez - toon pops up instantly without "standing up"). Might be related to that since I don't think critter rez results in stunned status.
Come to think of it, this isn't so much of a change. CoT Hordelings did this already with their rez, they would be untargetable as well during their rez. Sounds like it's just an expansion on that idea. Still, if they are attacking before their rez animation is completed (or its coded time to animate is complete), then that sounds like a bug.
So those bosses when i was solo stood up, i was clicking/tabbing like a madman, whoomp, and there goes over 500HP of my health.
Teamfarming can be done pretty much with any setup, a tank, a healer and a trashload of DPS. Solo not every set or AT is as efficient, some also require some serious IO slotting before jumping into a group of 14 +2's (or higher). Worse, if you dont have such character, or in my case, they are on the EU side while im at the US servers. -
So i assume they changed this against the self-rezzing mobs in AE? Why just not remove the power from AE itself? Less impact then this 'fix'. (im running in Bricks atm, i see Freaks a bit too often atm).

Quote:I've /bugged this yesterday, Freakshow is abusing this feature. If they died on a ledge or halfway in a wall, they wont play the animation and (if u are melee) hit you before you can even hit them.
General
NPC critters that are resurrected will be unselectable while going through the resurrection animation.
I've already been killed twice by a freakshow boss, who rezzed and instantly wacked me. -
Windows 7 and the NCsoft launcher, sometimes certain things dont get very well along.
The NCsoft launcher does have a Program Files writing check (it even ask you to allow NCacces if u dont run as administrator), however CoH itself doesnt have. Offcourse this can be easily fixed by editing some registry entries and dont install it into Program Files, but its far from perfect.
Sidenote, Since pretty much the first updater.exe i've had, it always wants to add a '/City of Heroes' behind pretty much any location you give it to install (if u hit cancel at the confirmation window), by default in the Program Files.
So where it goes wrong? NCsoft launcher always tries to install CoH in the NCsoft folder in Program Files. Nothing wrong, as the Launcher has the Program Files write-permission check, however if you launch CoH not fromout the Launcher and there is a patch, it will eventualy gives an error that it cant write file temp (whatever that is). updater.exe doesnt even know that NCsoft folder, and the EU updater doesnt understand it has to install in 'City of Heroes (EU)' and not 'City of Heroes(EU)/City of Heroes' (see my sidenote).
This even gets worse if you have a user with limited right (aka no writing abilities in Program Files), it wont even launch CoH at all (error writing temp). If you then launch it from NC Launcher it will fix a few piggs and still ready to go.
Can it go worse? Yes, EU and US clients. NC Launcher is based on your Region settings wich version it will initialy install. The NC launcher does make a seperate (EU) folder (so u have 'City of Heroes' and 'City of Heroes(EU)'), but that is basicly having 2 2GB+ folders while you only need one, running updater.exe or updater.EU.exe from the same folder works. And then im not even talking about the EU and US test clients, wich it ALSO installs in seperate folders.
So now i'm stuck with nearly 10GB of data, entire seperated costume and AE files, again tweaking my registry to get everything working again. (now my US test is in Program Files/CoHtest, while my EU test is in Program Files/NCsoft/CoHTestEU, moving it and changing the command line in NC Launcher it goes back to the question where i want to install :S).
So my main question/advice, maybe you guys could check this out and perhaps take it into account on the road to Going Rogue/Ultra Mode? Currently my harddisk is nearly duplicated on NCsoft game data (Lineage, Aion, City of Heroes), just because u guys have EU and US different clients. -
Quote:Agreed, my first DP was a /Dev, first getting the Time Bomb, quite useless.. then the 'what is this? 6 sec cast??' gun drone. Good side was having 2 extra powerslots for something elseNo, Detonate is a fairly cool power. Time Bomb, on the other hand, is one of the few powers I can never see myself taking except as a set mule or on a second build just to goof around with.

Quote:Well the updater says its comming in April, so if u have the pre-order, wouldnt be that long for you test yourselfIf it's the MM equivalent to Dual Pistols, I'll be very upset. You are one of the few that believes Dual Pistols to be impressive. Visually it's impressive, although sometimes overdone. But as far as gameplay is concerned, it's rather weak and underwhelming.
I hope Demon Summoning is not just a shiny, pretty set that isn't going to have much substance when it comes to numbers and playability. -
Quote:Years ago, when i probably did my first server raid on Hami, i made a post on the old EU forums, asking if it was possible to make the rock-granite-looks based on your size. As DE has several 'stonish' mobs they had already quite a few models ingame to use.I'm all for changing it. Like others have said, not a big fan of how every person in Granite looks the same. Of course, if there was a way to choose whether to use the overlay or the model-swapping, that'd be ideal, but no idea how much extra work that'd be.
I would prefer a full redo of the lookings, but stay off the power itself.
I do remember having a very tiny huge male character, it looks plain awsome morphing into this huge pile of rocks. So do keep the original open, maybe swap it like the new ammo thing of dual guns? Or like the halloween outfits, the power gives you several powerbuttons, each giving a differnt look or model. -
Redname stated earlier, the 3 whip powers were that difficult to make, dont expect a full AT based on this whip at all in the near future.

The MM version of Time Bomb aint that bad (detonate), specialy for Necro its a free pet.
