Good news for the UK players, I guess.

I hope the connection from continental europe to the US has improved in the last few years, because the game was nearly unplayable for me on NA Trial accounts due to heavy lag back in '07.

Ireland and the UK are not part of the Shengen Area, therefore passports are needed for travel between the islands and continental europe.

The servers are fine where they are.

We have a few overzealous politicians and district attorneys who love to rage against video games, but a lot of the foreign news coverage is blown out of proportions or is simply a rumour (like the "the 5th Column was removed from CoH because of german laws" legend)

What concerned me this year after the Winnenden school shooting was a bill to ban paintball. Thankfully the politicians reconsidered it after massive protests.

Thanks for the welcome, Turgenev.

We're looking forward to finally have direct communication with the american playerbase and the devs.

You're right, the german forums aren't very busy.
Zukunft is a very low pop server and a lot of us are more active on the gamergy.de forums (multi-gaming fan forums started by some EU-Beta players).

Der Rekord liegt glaub ich bei 3 Stunden von 1 - 50.

Das gegen so etwas vorgegangen wird, sollte eigentlich jedem klar sein.

farming isnt a bad thing. Everyone makes it seem as if someone farms they are not playing the game properly. well infact they are. its just a faster way of leveling and getting good influence/infamy seeing as a good build costs a lot. Also it takes for ever to get to level 50 too long i think, so farming is just a way speedingup this process. I know people complain about the spamming, and i agree it is annoying expecially when a level 1 is spamming it and basically looking for PL, but seriously deleting their PL'ed toons / banning account, do you not think that is a little far for some farming? i certainly do.

Well, 3 hours to lvl 50 is not "speeding it up", it's an utterly ridiculous shortcut.

If you think that that is okay, then you probably are in favour of "free 50's on demand", too?

Time to reach level 50 has sunken drastically over the years, more than 100 hours and you are "slow" (as am I - I'm not in a hurry to get yet another char to 50).

I don't think that 100 hours is too long, but ymmw.

Die Wartung des Accountsystems wurde einen Tag vorher auf der Webseite bekanntgegeben.
Da die Accountverwaltung sämtliche NCSoft-Spiele umfasst (und z.B. Guild Wars kein offizielles Forum hat) halte ich das für ausreichend.
Zusätzliche Mitteilungen in den Foren der Spiele, die ein solches haben, wären sicher nett gewesen, aber keinesfalls zwingend notwendig.

2. Da du dich bisher noch nicht mit Defense beschäftigt hast, sollte ich vielleicht darauf hinweisen, dass sich Positions-Defense (Melee/Ranged/AoE) und Schadensart-Defense aufaddieren, wobei bei Angriffen mit mehr als einer Schadensart der höhere Defense-Wert zählt. Das heißt, der Defense-Wert zum Beispiel gegen einen Fernangriff mit Energy/Smashing-Schaden berechnet sich aus Fernkampf-Defense und dem höheren von Energy- und Smashing-Defense.
Wenn dieser addierte Wert bei 45% ist, spricht man vom Soft Cap, weil dann viele Gegner nur noch eine 5%ige Chance (weniger geht nicht) haben, dich zu treffen. Und damit zu...

Positions- und Schadensart-Defense addieren sich nicht auf, auch hier wird nur der jeweils höhere Wert genommen.

Sorry, just came home now and I'm dog-tired.

See you all next week and congrats to all new 50's.

I'll be an hour late tonight.

Thanks for sharing that part of the devchat, Maxxie .

It said the temp accounts are not included in these figures.

I thought GR said they were, i could be wrong.

For clarity:

Monthly Access refers to the number of unique accounts that logged in during a monthly period. It does not include subscribers who did not login during that month, and does include any trial accounts that logged in.

Concurrency refers to the number of unique accounts logged in simultaneously, at a global scale. Highest (or peak) concurrency is the maximum such figure achieved during a given period.

Post by GR.

Which makes it worse in my opinion. Also the fact that those numbers dont include accounts that did'nt log in dont make them any better (apart from a money coming in point of view)when you are talking about low server populations.

It just means there are accounts still being paid for and not played.

I'm pretty sure that's a typo and GR left out a "not" - or NCSoft changed what the numbers represent.
It was previously explained on the US boards, that trial accounts are not counted for monthly access numbers.

I'll try to find a quote.

Per Castle:
The damage numbers you are seeing in the Real numbers tool are not accurate and in no way final.

In die Kraft-Info fließt Mental Trainig nicht ein - dort wird nur der Effekt durch Verbesserungen angezeigt.

Als das erste Mal Namen freigegeben wurden, war es unter Level 35.

Später wurde das auf Level 6 geändert.

Klick mich

Bis jetzt wurden meines Wissens noch nie Charaktere gelöscht.

Lediglich Namen von Charakteren unter Level 6 auf Accounts, die länger als 90 Tage inaktiv sind, werden freigegeben (d.h. es kann passieren, dass der Charakter plötzlich "GenericHero0815" heißt)

Just tested it - no screenshot in the screenshots folder for me.
Strange...

And I apologize to the_rent for my remark.

That doesn't work in the character creation and AT selection screens.

Please try to refrain from giving incorrect information as it causes confusion.
