  1. Based on procs on my earth/ troller (wich have similar effect as caltrops), it has a continues tick. Basicly each 'tick' (be it damage, or chance to) the proc can trigger again. I have the -res from defense debuff in my quicksand, wich seems to continues work on mobs inside or getting inside the quicksand.

    Although i wonder how psuedo pets work with procs such as the knockdown +100% recharge bonus on earthquake, since it is the pet that cast the knockdown, i gues i wont be getting that 100% recharge bonus.
  2. Well based on the huge lag yesterday, i highly doubt this will be the last 'non regular' downtime. Or today's downtime will perform miracles, i dont wanna see the faces of new peeps hopping in Atlas and rubberbanding all over the place.
  3. Today AMD released special beta drivers for BF3, the 11.10 beta, they also are still crashing the client. As Ati/catalyst has a inbuild updater, i doubt anyone using the update is still running 11.4 and will cause quite some issues when more free players join.

    Still no news about this?

    Well Microsoft may think of Linux as a boot virus.
    MS already stated, you can dual boot to Linux.
  5. For what its worth, my few cents:

    Get rid of WAY too much stickies. Announcements are serious hard to read, sometimes its a stick, second time its a nonsticky, discussion forum is same story. Old news? Remove stick and let it move to other pages.

    Leave the AT forums intact, i use them very frequent and people with specific AT questions (and like recent /time, their sync with primairy/secondairy sets), AT's are not hard to understand but are unique enough to have their own place and questions.

    That is indeed a very interesting question. In the old days i did quite a lot of events for the new players, from basic stuff as 'find me at the metro' or 'get me a lvl5 accuracy enhancement', to specific tutorials on AT's and specific sets (as i have tons of characters) and give them a reward for such.

    I wanted to bring back my 'my question your reward' back, i ask a random question about CoX, correct and they get money, or they can 'double it' by asking for a harder question (wich goes up to gamemechanics and combatsystems).

    The help channel is getting flood already by massive discussions about basicly anything (people that lost their IO usage, WoW is better etc etc), i believe the 'helper' and 'i need help' titles are not really working ingame.

    Demon question

    I believe the only MM pet that can fly is the Necro extract essense pet, the rest cant fly without groupfly.
  8. I believe Mid's has a new version now, though few bits not working, its an official one
  9. Only 1 simple thing:

    Feel free to ask.

    I spent already several hours in Atlas and help channel to answer people's questions, there is no 'answer to all and everything that can be questioned'.

    This.

    My toon is running close perma-hasten, the recharge of Spring Attack really aint that bad and Fury boost the damage pretty sweet. Its a pool power, not a 'core' power, it should be somewhat gimped compared to the primairy/secondairy powers.
  11. Now for the weird part, i wasnt paying attention to my other computer, but that one i just still standing idle in Cap the whole time. Could move, can talk, as if nothing happened.
  12. I just got a whisper from Zypher regarding my ticket, only 10 seconds later i get a mapserver and at the login i keep getting the 'cant connect to login server' error.
  13. Is there currently something wrong with the reactivation of a sub to VIP again?

    I reactivated 1 account earlier, it expired this morning, but when i login all my characters are locked and i get the f2p message. But if i either go NCsoft account or ingame store account, both say 'VIP status'.



    Ok, it just got more weird, all my characters on Union and Freedom are locked, but Defiant are all unlocked. Lemme gues, support tickets wont be done untill monday?

    I know that they do them when they do them for a reason...

    If the servers kept on falling over repeatedly in spite of that (once the typical post Issue launch bugs are resolved) then yes, i do get annoyed with it, but i do have other games to complete as well before their sequals get released, so it gives me the chance to play them
    I see a difference between weekly maintenance, emergency fix and these so called 'scheduled downtimes'. Weekly maintenance is mentioned already on the site and are that commonly done i never seen anyone really have issues with those, emergency fixes announced ingame and last quite short to not bother about.

    As for the 'scheduled' downtime, a day prior the downtime (or in several cases a few hours if you take 'sleep' in consideration) doesnt really feel like a 'scheduled' but more like a waking up and thinking about things u gonna do this day. If my timezone is set correctly on this board, the downtime of today was posted 22.00 lastnight, a noticed that in 14,5 hours later the game will go down for a considerable long time. The 22nd downtime was done about 17 hours prior the shutdown. Add up the 'nighttime' of EU (wich is kinda playtime on NA/US), thats not really a 'in advance' notice.

    You cant really tell me that they didnt know that today downtime wasnt know prior today, or even bother to write down a 'possible' downtime for continues serverupgrade and movement. I gues if they should have told us 2 weeks ago there will be alot of downtime due transfer and upgrades, people would have been pissed and mad, but it would made each 'daily downtime' a bit easier to cope with. Specialy if they already said these downtimes will cover EU primetime/daytime mostly.

    And thats exactly what the mods/devs/whatever's are hoping for.

    People express their thoughts/complaints/feelings, eventualy the server goes back up and nobody even cares anymore, since majority of US people sleeping anyway during the time we are very unhappy, 'nobody cares'.

    That is, untill the next downtime.

    However, Freedom of Speech does not apply to this forum, which is a private venue. Freedom of Speech only applies to public venues and forums. Proof of this? Moderators can and will enforce rules of conduct, either by modifying and/or deleting a post/thread.

    Not trying to be condescending, just wanting to inform.
    And Rules of Conduct follow the same rules that 'counter' freedom of speech.

    As long i stay within the rules of the forum, i am free to say whatever i want. I was not refering to the 'US law' (EU version is somewhat different though), but the generic freedom of speech on this forum, within the rules of the forum.

    Perspective, does that include comparing your life with perhaps 3rd world people or homeless people? So rich people should never complain about poor service they get at their regular 5 star hotel, nor can factoryworkers for being underpaid because there are people that dont even have a job?

    So if your new mobile phone reboots every day, you never go back to the shop, because you feel you have the privilege of actualy having a mobile phone thus you shouldnt complain about this?

    Freedom of speech, enough for you?

    All of you Shutup and count your blessings.
    No legs is good!

    Sorry but the leg has been very annoying the past few weeks, mapserver and rubberbanding, leg got worse. Even after several downtimes, leg still was around, even on empty servers like Defiant.

    So i want no more legs!
  20. Apart from the stickies in the announcements, did any redname ever replied on these ongoing downtimes?

    Because i just found this on the german side, wich isnt stated on the english part:
    Quote:
    Wir verstehen, dass für unsere europäischen Spieler diese Wartungsarbeiten sehr frustrierend sind, da sie durch der Zeitverschiebung mitten am Abend stattfinden. Wir bemühen uns immer die Wartungsarbeiten so früh wie möglich zu veranstalten, damit die geringste Anzahl an Spielern durch Wartungsarbeiten betroffen werden. Unsere Ingenieure fangen oft früh morgens (manchmal sogar um 01:30 Uhr) mit den Wartungsarbeiten an, und wir geben uns Mühe so oft wie möglich die Wartungsarbeiten früh abzuschliessen, damit unsere Spieler wieder ins Spiel kommen können. Mit großen Veränderungen im Spiel kommen immer Probleme, und wir versuchen so viele wie möglich frühzeitig zu beheben, aber besonders jetzt müssen Fehler aufgelöst werden.

    Nochmals Entschuldigung. Wir sind wahrhaftig dankbar für eure Geduld und Unterstützung. Danke schön!

    We understand that our European players for this maintenance is very frustrating because they take place by the middle of the night time shift. We always try to organize the maintenance work as early as possible so that the least number of players are affected by maintenance work. Our engineers often start early in the morning (sometimes at 01:30 clock) with the maintenance work, and we do our best as often as possible to complete the maintenance work early so that our players can come into play. With major changes in the game are always problems, and we try as much as possible to fix an early stage, but especially now must be resolved error.

    Sorry again. We are truly grateful for your patience and support. Thank you
    I pretty amazes me that the German side is actualy getting slight bit more attention, but it remains silent on the (majority) english side.

    (havent checked french part).

Because it seems other than venting (which can be very healthy) this thread is getting you no where, CS may be your only chance for action.
    Or you read my reply earlier in this topic, with a quote from the support.

    Based on the 'expired' email, we already should be able to play F2P:

    Only you can answer that question, it is worth the 1,5billion inf to have 50% defense?

    Personaly, not in a freaking livetime i would ever buy that IO, i rather grab 37.5% recharge and pop a purple once in a while.

    The major difference, EU is part of the 'officialy supported' regions, where Oceania is still 'you got acces', alike the Asian people that moved from CoH Asia (who share mostly Australian timezone). Thats quite a difference.

    Never the less, its hitting basicly everyone outside US timezones.
  25. Wasnt Poison Trap set equal to /trap poison trap? Thats still a very solid and strong power.
