    zomg, someone set the Rapture flag to ENABLED.

    (And yeah, MB pointed that out a few minutes ago, I hadn't noticed 'til now. Creepy.)

    Not really. It's only been this consistently bad on Freedom since 1.) GR went live, so that's new code and a lot more players; and 2.) since the server relocation from VA to TX in July, where we began to notice some niggling issues.

    Before July, we'd cruise at yellow, very occasionally dip into the red, and be slicker than snot than other servers like Virtue and Guardian, whose problems have been far worse than here.

    So, yeah, we got issues right now for instability. I don't think it's load related (because I've played her at full-on red, queues engaged, and have been pretty smooth), but rather corky code that got thru their QA team.

    I'm behind you that I want the instability fixed. But I'm against you when you think it can just be fixed with MOAR CPU.

    Cheers. Welcome to Freedom.

  6. E: I actually have to bow out of this... I have a sudden need to go to NYC this weekend, and I doubt I'll have reliable connectivity for the duration of the trip. Please take me off the list. GL to everyone on this run!

    Awesome. Thanks for opening this up, guys. I heard about your nine minute run. I'm mildly dazzled by how awful the redside runs tend to be in comparison. o.O

    I'll send a shout today. Cheers.

    Minimum to join is 45 on this, MJ. If you can level up before 1030 eastern, you'll be in good position.

    (Fixed, thanks. I'd combined Soviet and Legbah's two secondaries cuz those're the two I was considering for the run...)
  10. Doh, sorry for the delay on reporting my toon. I'll field King Legbah (thugs/poison MM) unless there's a need for another class.
  11. Good news at least: They're aware of it. Petition response stated (paraphrasing) that they're aware of the issue and are looking into it now. So keep this thread updated if you can as a common ground. I have to drive home now, so AFK for two hours. :P

    This is occurring across multiple servers (Freedom, Virtue and Triumph are affected so far). I have a thread in the Tech Issues forum where people are glomming common info.
  13. It's been happening for a few hours now. Main zones get it the worst, although I was in Dark Astoria and did not notice a lag/mapserve issue at all. Crey's has it, as does Talos, Founders and Grandville from what I've tested so far. Inside instanced missions, it seems fine.

    EDIT: Actually, at around 6:45pm Eastern, it seems to have followed us into the mission too...

    Okay, that's all kindsa brilliant. Nice one, Kheldarn.

    Now, back to the issue... DEVS, FIX DIS!
  15. All new kinds of awesome. What a terrific team. Six Blasters, one tank, one corruptor. We knew no fear. XD

    Thanks to Luna for setting this up, and thanks to everyone for being your typically superb selves!
  16. Law of the Bullet is parked to Praetor White's left, will see you all tonight.

    In my defense, Reichsman obviously thought _I_ was the biggest danger on the field, because after he stepped out of his machine after the third time, he passed the brute, two scrappers, and the rest of the team to gun for ME, standing in the back of the group.

    SO glad I bought tier 3 health/def insps... >.>

    But yeah, a LONG run, but a successful one! Kudos to everyone (even Tux, whom I managed to out-aggro) for a heck of a team, and grats to Max/MP's team later that night for also getting a successful Master run!
  18. I think it does. Thanks! Looking forward to working on my submission this weekend!

    Is this the condition where a vigilante on a SF can use Ouroboros to go to the hero side, and when they head back pets will attack them at random?

You allow people to "pick the rewards within their year" but either way they would pick the "best powers" in their opinions first and leave the "junk" for last, then complain about only having the junk left. I could be wrong, but that is the way I see it going down.

    To be honest, it is probably a moot argument though. I'm not sure how easy the coding for this type of arrangement would be and with Paragon Studios now charging for Emotes . . . well, let's just say this six year Veteran is not in the mood to pay for this kind of change and leave it at that.
    Honestly, I agree: I treat the Vet system as "working as designed" and don't see a fault with its implementation. Certain items are rewarded after X months of subscription - that's fairly cut and dry to me.

    The other side of the argument views the rewards as restrictions and wants the restrictions done away with wholesale. My "compromise" suggestion was meant to address their wanting choice in the matter while not breaking the veteran reward system entirely. However, if you ask what my first choice is, it'd be "status quo". Why? Because of exactly what you describe: The perceived "best rewards" would be picked first, and the complaints would continue about not having the ones they want later on. All that work would be for show, ultimately, and wouldn't have a real return on keeping subscribers (if they were only staying/quitting because vet rewards... I mean come on).
  21. *ears perk up*

    Interest piqued. Lovely contest idea, MP. Question: Are the prizes overall for all the servers, or are these prizes specific to individual servers? i.e., are competing against Freedom only, or everyone?

    Looking forward to this one. Thanks!
  22. Sign me up for this one. Toon TBA, but likely Law of the Bullet, traps/DP defender.
  23. Just buy this.

    Personal experience: It's terrific. Just add another 2GB of RAM and you've got a nice porta-kit for COH.
