funny, i've had way too much luck finding a team, even when I want to run solo.
maybe cause I've been on my new tank mostly since i16 launch -

Thought I would chime in here and let you know what we've done to test this. The data has been checked, the code has been checked. There has been no change to either. That said, none of us would be satisfied until we tested this for ourselves. I knew this issue would haunt my dreams until I dedicated some time to testing. So, I went and did some pretty comprehensive testing today. Both internally and on the training room.
The results are pretty consistent and drop rates appear to be correct. The way I tested this is load up the first mission given out by Abyss (as a number of players mentioned this in their tests). I then set my difficulty to 8x and +0. I then went through this mission 5 times internally and 10 times on the training room and the results were very consistent:
-14 to 19 recipes per mission
-5 to 8 enhancements per mission
-30 to 51 salvage per mission
So, for the time being I am calling this a perception issue, that said I will keep an eye on this. If there is in fact a bug at work here then there will be reproducible steps one could take to get this bug to happen to anyone. If anyone does in fact nail down possible repro steps for this bug, please PM me or post them in the forums.
I know this isn't the answer many of you were hoping to hear, but I will keep an eye on the issue. Again, please contact me via PM if you have any possible reproducible steps. Lastly, I want to clear up any rumors of a "stealth nerf" or drops being different per map. Drop rates are on a per class basis. All minions, lieutenants and bosses have the same drop rates as all other minions, lieutenants and bosses regardless of what map they're on. The only difference is what items they drop (magic salvage vs. tech salvage, different origin enhancements and such)
Regards,
Synapse
While leveling from 1 to 20 I was almost 100% the time teamed. Durring that time I got exactly 3 recipie drops. salvage, enhancement and insperation drops seemed to be right on. It wasn't till I started to run more solo (doing cape mission, gaining access to the Midnight squad, and other things to earn more merrits) that I started to see an increse in recipie drops. and even still I'll run entire missions with a team and not get a single recipie. Had the same experiance runing a MoSTF on my main 50 on saturday, i'd guess I got maybe 5 recipes the whole TF
bassicly it seems that the drop rate for recipes are normal if your solo, even when set for a higher team multiplier. but when teamed the drop rate is almost divided by all memebers of the team. Example: A minnion would normaly have a 10% chance of dropping a recipie per person, observatinos indicate a minion has a 10% chance of dropping a recipie per team. efectivily give each person an 1/8th of a chance the normal drop rate per minnion or in my example 1.25%. (Note: i know 10% isn't the right percentage for a minnion recipie drop rate, just using it as an example) -

Go to the COH test folder then delete everything in the Piggs folder and rerun the test updater.
seems with the maintence to the live servers they patched to version 5T2 on both live and test.
My Test launcher fixed whatever issue it was and is able to load. -
tried again this morning to see if something was fixed overnight. and noticed that the updater is telling me the CoH Version is (null) instead of the same as the current live version which is 1600.20090902.4T2.
I needed to launch the live updater and now, it's updating a patch. To my knoledge there is no new patch. I checked to see if there as a new patch for the test server last night when I started getting this error and the last set of patch notes I could find are for 4T2 version. Patcher just finised, the new Live version is 1600.20090902.5T2 what the Huh? -
I attempted to load Test. Wanted to check slotting on my Elec/EM Tanks build. and I got the error
Code:after checking the space left on my drive I checked permissions for the COHTest folder, the Piggs folder, and the file with the issue. I've got more than enough room on my HDD, and the security settings match what's set on the live install.checksum failed on piggs/soundVMusic7.pigg Click ok to do a full checksum of all files. You may be out of disk space or you may be trying to install to a location where you have insufficient permissions
Also, I'm having this problem on both the desktop I use and my laptop. -
I'm in new mission overload...
So far I've managed to change all the power colors for each V-Tron to some shade of blue, Renamed V-Tron 21 to V-Tron Blade, and rolled the original V-Tron's alternate AT and gotten him to almost level 9. who's name is V-Tron 21.
don't look at me like that. there is only 9 different V-Tron's...10 if you count V-Tron and the new V-Tron 21 as different characters.
oh and I recolored X-Tron's Force Shields.
*edit: and rolled a Fire/Fire scrapper called Pyre'Fly -
To the OP, Your symtoms do sound like it would be a network issue. Two Completely different systems with the same issue, gonna be the common denominator.
You may also want to look at 3rd party programs that look at the data moving between your client and the game servers. I ran into an issue a while back with the predicesor to the Titan Network Tracker that caused what looked like sever lag in game. Turned out the devs changed something in the back end that cause the tracker to peak CPU usage at 99%
As far as the OS it's self is concerend I've had great sucess with it, even to the point of having it perform better than XP on systems that It really shouldn't run on.
And I've never my self had an issue with running the game from the Program Files or Program Files (x86) Directories, but I've heard of some horror stories about that with Vista, which turned out to be permissions errors with Vista pre SP1 -

Before anyone asks, no...we couldn't have it both ways.
I like the form change into a huge rock beast. It's part of my characters concept. and I like that I make the larger boom sound when I walk
Though I would Like to see the new version before I set my opinion in stone. (Oh look a pun) -

What's PvP?
ok, seriously though

I find that the our inability to reach 100% fury is purely a cosmetic one.
the update of the graphics and real numbers is a lot slower than what the server actually processes. Fury on the server may hit 100% but when it's time to send the data for real numbers and the flashy bar fury has allready dropped back down to 90%.
So the apperance of unobtainableality of 100% fury is just something we are going to have to live with -

I'm not sure if there is a way to fix this, but I have a character named Texas' Justice but it is showing on the Character Copy page as Texas\s Justice.
I've queued him up to copy over to Test just to see if it's working, but I'm curious how the Character Copy will handle non-alphanumeric characters in the names.
I'll report back once I see how, or if, he transfers over.
I'd say it's Working As Intendted, but deffinitly confusing -

Unfortunately the only way to access it is to log on to the forums with the corresponding CoH Game Account credentials.
*edit: but I do like the new copy tool, much easier to use. And i don't have to hit back 50 times when i want to copy more than one at a time -

The only downside is that I now have to make a seperate forum account for my other account.

So I can have my forum name match my Main's Name?

*holds up a Beer* -
After reading most of this thread I've come to the conclusion that Gauntlet as it is now should stay as it is. Not all comic book tanks are super INV/SS Tankers. (as his two examples is) but should be set as a power in either a secondary set or better an APP set. I personaly don't see tankers, especially in this game, as people that are "holding back"
But in either case this power should have a really long recharge, buffs the player slightly, debuffs a single target moderatly, and is either a long durration click or a high end cost toggle. basicly that is something that when used is thought twice about before being clicked. Making this power function thematicly for super strength charicters where they can say. "With you I don't have to hold back, cause you, you can take it."
Really I'd love to see Tanks get more APP sets to choose from. especially a set that will mesh well with their new coming power sets, Electric =P. oh, and scrappers too -
earth assault might be just what i need to make a toon with stone melee. I know they arn't the same thing, but I prefer not to make more than 2 toons with the same or similar power sets that arn't part of V-Tron's story....I need my spreadsheet >.>

I hate this bug. It's a minor issue ultimately since it isn't crashing servers or corrupting data, but it is highly visible, distracting and annoying.
What's broken and why is it taking so long to fix? The key problem here is way back when, someone decided it would be a good idea to have three separate keyboard input interpreters and any changes done have to play "house of cards" game with the three. The current set of bugs began appearing a while back when we started making changes to implement the mission editor, which morphed into the Mission Architect.
I've no doubt that it will be fixed at some point; I just wanted to basically point out that, yes, we're aware of it and yes, we are trying to fix it. It's just an enormously more complicated task that it "should" be.

It's pretty fun to wander over into programmer land and causally ask, "So what's up with the chat bug?"
They have said that not having reliable repro steps makes this particular bug nigh-impossible to track down, so if anyone can figure out a way of making this happen 100% of the time, I'm sure those guys would name children after you or something.
I'd even push for Posi to hand out the vaunted 'badge-which-must-not-be-named"

Every Time I'm at either the Auction house or Black market, buying or selling. When I click off the AH window to the main chat window then hit one of my binds that bring up /send "<Channel Name>" I get atleast the last value I tried to sell or bid for weither or not i hit the buy or sell button.
this is the bind i'm using /bind i beginchat /send "VU2009"
I'll see if i can get a frap of it. but when i do that 90% of the time i'm hit with the chat bug. -
hey atleast all you have cable...Me and my wife wish we could see the change. I only found out cause I was lookin into when i could expect to find more Eureka, and when exactly the new Stargate series will start airing.
but really the name change kind of fits. They've been airing more Science Fiction that doesn't nessecarily have to do with Science or Tech for quite some time.
and I've absolutly hated the fact that the male oriented soap opera they call "Wrestling" even started airing on the network. But aslong as they keep putting out new serieses and repeats of my Fav Sci-Fi shows i'll be happy. -
V-Tron == Power-Tron
Most of my other Characters wouldn't have a Preatoreon name just due to the fact that their creator is busy trying to upgrade him self than build more robots.
