After checking my firewall for the third time, I've decided to ask about here. My updater was working fine just lastnight. This evening however, it stays stuck on "Connecting.. #1". I know it sometimes lasts a short while, so I leave. I return to see it on "Connecting.. #8" and realise something's up.
Anyone had this before? I'm sure it's something REALLY obvious that I've missed.
Thanks in advance.

(QR) I'd double all those that people have said that're active on Sals; Mumsy, Sal himself and such, but I'd also like to add Forseti. Only Dusti's likely to recognise the name, but he's done a great deal to keep me playing. I'd also like to add Tiger Cub for the same reason, and Luke for making me giggle a little too often.

This really is bad, and I mean bad as in i've seen people saying they are not playing till this is sorted.

I'm afraid I'm one of those people. Not the bad servers, but just how they've been this evening. I'm hoping it won't take long to fix. Particularly with the Winter Event going live tomorrow.

Anyone know how long these things take to fix usually? I'd love to get a few more bars before the winter event.

It also appears to be a simultaneous DC. Me and the rest of my sg would all DC at the same time, then log in seconds after eachother. Shame.

I'm a tad frustrated about this meself.
When I heard that i13 may be released on the 2nd, I got all excited cause I had a half-day.
Now I spend the other half waiting.

Looking at your forum registration date, you've been around for past issues before, so you really should know by now they they're ALWAYS done in the afternoons.

You are neglecting the amazing power of people to develope massive amounts of hope against all odds, Floaty.

M'afraid that's right. Hope's what I got plenty of. Got a new computer arriving today, and I'm hoping that's soon too, despite the estimated arrival time of around six.

This must be the first time Jay has ever made a sensable coherent post!!!

Hooray for fixing! My Bane looks underchunky.
I miss Jay's ridiculous posts.

I want them to open up the temple and fort areas in Cimerora - it seems a pity to have such big, unique maps just for the one TF

The 12 task (forces) of hercules ?

Wouldn't that be the coolest thing evar?
Well, it'd be pretty cool anyways.

Yup, Ghostie's posted the enlgish version up. Almost identical to Shadowe's translation.

Only difference is amount of training, wich equates to level, Warriors cap at 30.

They do have caves though.

[/ QUOTE ]
I didn't understand, yet I laughed. Quite hard.
Just imagined a warrior like "Look 'a me! I gots a cave!"

[ QUOTE ]
I mean, heck, even the devs say we "defeat" not kill, which is kind of hard when ive just dual sliced someone.

It's a well known fact that everybody in Paragon City or the Rogue Isles is made of rubber. They just get tired and sleep at zero health.

Brawl just doesn't cut it for me.

Aww... I love finishing off a boss with a good ol' fist to the face, or kick to the chest.

Shields shields shiieeeelds. Cetratus is finally happy.

[/ QUOTE ]
Aha! Were you one of those planning a shield-wielder along with Seti? Don't think I didn't hear you all.
Since the announcement, I'm quite tempted, meself. I guess I'll decide once I learn a little more. Wanna see those designs!

No way! Coh says nothing about my drivers. You're downloading the latest ones, you say? Hmm...
I'll try downloading the latest ones myself this evening, and see what CoH says to me, if anything.

If it'll be about grinding the most boring TF available a couple of times to get one decent recipe then it's a meh

[/ QUOTE ]
Methinks I'll just play the TFs I enjoy, and hopefully I'll get me a lil' stockpile.

Today I learnt that:

* Many people don't seem to understand that information can be realised in several small segments rather than as a complete, exhaustive package.

* The (game) world ends when players get things that they want, get things that they don't want or get things that they aren't sure about - something to do with branching missions?

* I'd been mistyping Chimchimineechimchimineechimchimcheroo as Cimerora for ages.

* No-one is ever happy unless they are moaning... so obviously more brits here than I realised

Thank you forums.

[/ QUOTE ]
I happen to love this post.

* I certainly agree. However, maybe it's just my optimism.

* Also agree. - Branching missions!?

* I've seen some terrible ones. Someone in my supergroup was saying chimmerorara. They also insist that we're being invaded by the ritiki.

* I'm only ever unhappy if I'm [u]not[u] moaning. Maybe I'm not supposed to be british.

Aww...
Thanks anyways, Ghostie!

I imagine it would.
If this merit system is applied to Hami, I genuinely think that raids could start happening again.
I mean, wouldn't it be the equivalent of the Mothership raid? We all know how those went at first.

I think this set would make me a very happy boy.
I don't think I'd ever log off of my Puppets/Pain MM.
-Drool-

I'm afraid I don't know. As since I joined four years ago, I've not known of one to occur. Just visited him by myself, and dropped in from above. Terribly fun, you know.

[ QUOTE ]
Well thanks for all your comments guys...

I got my MM to level 27, and I respecced Thugs out of the build...
It worked perfectly and just as I planned, but for some reason I still hate playing MMs...

Ah well I guess not all ATs are for everyone, so MMs go
down the same path as Stalkers did for me; no more MMs...

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh damn. That's a shame.
I only started disliking masterminds when I finally got to fifty with one, and that's because levels forty to fifty were played on a very laggy laptop, and the zoning time, plus summoning time, plus upgrading time drove me mad.
Ah well, best of luck with whichever archtype you decide to play next.

Also, your avatar made me giggle.

Fix for hami = shedload of merits

[/ QUOTE ]
I think if that were to happen, then a Hami raid might even occur.
Madness!

I've always had the same thing on my laptop, and it's caused me to play on the PC much more often.
I'm afraid I've never found a solution, myself. But maybe someone can.

Specs:
OS Windows XP
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.40GHz
512MB RAM (I know, it's old. Bless it.)
Intel(R) 82852/82852 GM/GME Graphics Controller

I don't know what half of it means, but I'm sure some of you do. >_>

I'm also wondering if some aren't jumping the gun with disappointments. After all not all facts are known about Issue 13, don't forget the "More" part in the announcement.

[/ QUOTE ]

If the "More" was that good why didn't they mention what it was? Guessing its going to be something small, hence why its added as an endnote!

[/ QUOTE ]
Because this isn't a fully-blown announcement, like this.
This is merely a letter to us, the players, telling us about some things Positron wanted to unveil.
