Hmmm, Poking through the links quickly, it seems they all point to issues with the client not the servers. I am sorry being in IT I know for a fact that servers have issues as well. Especially after updating when it seems most of the problems re-emerge.
Sorry not buying it.

[/ QUOTE ]

But being in IT you would also know that if 99% of your users are online without problems, then the 1% having problems will not be caused by server problems or misconfiguration on the server side.

[/ QUOTE ]
And it is entirely possible you are wrong. The patch yesterday changed some graphics code. This is affecting some but not others.You cannot assume it is on the users end.

Yeah I missed the 'in real time', I think ym briain is addled today.

EG:
Sorry the win goes on. Did you not get the memo that suckage is no longer part of CoX ?

(aside from MOG) *ducks and runs*

[/ QUOTE ]

MoG continuing to suck is the only thing that grounds me in reality.

You might want to avoid the Training Room in the near future, then.

This pretty much seems to clear the way for CoH on XBox 360.

[/ QUOTE ]
Fixed that for you. The Live Marketplace on the 360 offers the opportunity for people to (in theory) pay for their MMO subscriptions with Microsoft Points ... which means, they could buy prepaid cards at any video game or computer outlet ... no credit card required. Make it a 1200-point fee, that's $16 - enough that even after MicroSoft's inevitable cut, there's still probably a nearly-full, standard MMO fee left for NCSoft.

[/ QUOTE ]

If they play with a 360, how could they go to PI and type "PL MEH"?

[ QUOTE ]
Something that keeps getting brought up that I think should be pointed out...

For all the "I bought both, I should get compensated" folks:

Yes, everybody will get access to both sides. You (and I, since I bought both games seperately as well, twice, Collectors Editions even) got to play both early. We got 12 slots early. We got guarantees SG base stuff early.

Not good enough? Still want an extra month?

*We already got it.*

Remember when you added the game to your account? Remember that free month?

They're not giving *everyone* a free month with this. Just access.

So we've already been compensated. In fact, we're ahead of the game. People who started with GVE only got ONE month free. We've gotten two - one for COH and one for COV.

You're welcome.

The fact that he replied to every single gorram suggestion with "no" and did his best to be the first reply in there is proof in itself. He got more persistent at it the more people bugged him about it. How can you possibly believe that was anything BUT an active effort to get a rise out of people?

Yet if you're not breaking the rules, you've got nothing to worry about

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, tell that to jranger who didn't break any rules.
These new "/jranger is bannable" rules were invented to give them a reason to have him banned.

Search his posts. He doesn't insult, he doesn't flame he simply replies "no" to a lot of bad ideas. There was NOTHING in the rules stateing he couldn't do that.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, he replied "no" to ALL the ideas. I don't see how anyone can argue that he was being anything but a troll.

Seriously, when did half of this forum have lobotomies?

[/ QUOTE ]

Since when replying No to something meant anything else than disgreeing with the OP? What is wrong with that? And what is wrong with disagreeing with EVERY darn suggestions that were posted? I see no problem with that. He posted his own disagreement and never were any of you disallowed to simply overlook his reply and move along. How could he harm anyone?

[/ QUOTE ]
And it isnt as if there aren't a lot of pretty stupid suggestions lol.

[ QUOTE ]
Well, I don't know your case specifically... but it seems that because you're still here... your history wasn't enough to get you banned. If you got a stern warning this time around... then take it as just that... nothing more.

Maybe your name recently showed up in somebody's tattletale and that's why it seems that they're pulling this out of the blue; maybe they're running some kind of filter (which would make this impersonal) or maybe they're just going through their list/log of situations that they actually had to step in and do something (which would also make it impersonal)... I honestly don't know the exact method that's being used... but there has to be a reason for them pulling up something 2 years old... (even if it is something a Bot is sifting through)

in any event... I still don't see this as double jeapordy; the way you are explaining it to me is more akin to the 3-Strike laws... yes, you may have been convicted and served time for your felony but that felony can still be referenced in the process to determine whether or not you'd be considered a 'habitual offender' and punished as such

Edit: IMO, however, when I think of names that should be worried about this... yours doesn't come to mind... at least, not in my dealings

[/ QUOTE ]
It doesnt deal with those that post bland comments guaranteed to set off a fire storm. Such as those starting "all defenders are healorz" threads in the defender forums.(just an example) They intentionally start threads intended to forment trouble. Banning "nerf this" threads would be a good start.

I'm here for an argument

Sums up this discussion rather nicely, I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

The short answer to your humorous post is "no, it isn't".

The problem is that the weight of self & mod censorship falls entirely on negative responders to a post because the only time some one complains is when their idea receives disagreement, not agreement.

I read the entire thread that JRanger was in that resulted in his ban. He gave more than just "no" and "/unsigned" as answers. But it didn't matter to the person(s) that reported him and others to the mod. Neither did it matter that there were some that gave "/signed" as their sole response.

It came down to bad feelings, over-use of the notification button, and the extra time that mods & reps had to spend responding about him.

[/ QUOTE ]

What the mods are saying is "let your sister use your stuff! when you stop her, she complains and we dont want to hear it! We dont care whet she does as long as we dont get bothered!"

If we let the carebears have full control of all forums they wont complain and the mods can get to doing what they wanted without bothersome moderation duties.
Just agree..they wont complain if you just go along with whatever idiot idea they come up with.

Sometimes you just have to say no. Many of the people with a problem with a negative respose dont want reasoning, they want absolute agreement.

I do believe you have "killed off" every single CoH and CoV contact there. (edit: If not, very close to all of them.)

I guess it is your way of saying goodbye, huh?

Doom??? They are turning off the servers because the transfer did not work. It is the end of CoX. Doom!!!

For the dyslexics...Moooood!!! moooood

Another cool thing in Austin is the castle that richard Garriot(Lord British) built. You may remember him from Ultima. There is a not to scale reproduction of the globe theater on his land. The SCA holds events there every few months.

drinking on 6th street happens to be one of my areas of expertise.

Me recomendations would be:

For hangin out drinking- Dizzy rooster (kind of loud, but a damn good time, my favorite bar)

Blind Pig- sweet view of 6th from upstairs on the huge balcony, plenty of room for lots of people



I dont really do the dance clubs though, so maybe someone else can chime in there lol.

Cooper BBQ in LLano is 64 miles outa Austin, but has some of the best BBQ I have ever eaten. Different specialties on different days, but all are excellent. Long drive, but beautiful scenery.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you go that far just for the food?

I'd go as far as, umm, say, the Salt Lick (the old one, not the new fancy one on 360). Llano (to me anyway) seems bit of a ways off just for dinner...

[/ QUOTE ]
I ate there on my way to San Angelo, but yes, It is worth doing it at least once. Makes an awesome road trip, the hill country is beautiful out that way. Too far to do often, but worth doing at least once.

ok cool, rikti invasion, sounds fun, but still no villain epic archetypes. So lame....now I have to wait to issue 11 till we get em...and we probably STILL wont get em then...WHAT DO U GAME DEVELOPERS HAVE AGAINST THE VILLAINS!!!???

Rikti drop tech stuff right?

Please consider changing this to magical..

[/ QUOTE ]Something needs to be done, the last thing we need at this point is more worthless tech salvage, we can get this on any freak farm or tv farm. From here on out devs you need to make at least 1 magic faction for every tech you add in a level range or it is going to be some severe imbalances on the market.

going to be?

This excites me like I9 couldnt. Real contents this time.
Hopefully some of the costume goodness wont be stuck in a screwed up invention drop system.

So I get off work yesterday and have time to kill before a meeting later in the evening. I run some errands and then eat dinner at Freebird's, a local burrito joint. I'm trying to work on a story I'm writing while I eat, and these 3 guys sit down at the table next to me. And for the next hour, they engage in an extended conversation about a recent computer game campaign. I'm assuming it's World of Warcraft or something similar -- druids and healers and feral armor and tanks.

FOR AN HOUR!!!!

And when I left, they WERE STILL AT IT!!!!

Sigh. Please, if there is a higher power, don't let me ever turn into that..... Posting in the CoH forums while at work is bad enough...

Sadly, it still means that despite the high aggro risk, location requirement, and status as a primary power, you're still better off running Manuevers than Hurricane against a 40+ AV. And there is absolutely no warning about this.

[/ QUOTE ]
However, it does mean that my DM/SR Scrapper will now better contribute to AV teams through -To Hits, such as the oh-so-godly ToF...

and it means my rad/rad will contribute loads less.Thanks for nerfing the flagship of this defender set.

<2. Hamidon is manually spawnable.

<I kind of expect a somewhat sizable team size needed to take <him on still. Maybe 20-30 characters. So if "they" have 20-30 <characters already raiding and "we" have 20-30 characters <wanting to raid, we'll get our own instance and spawn our own <Hamidon. [ QUOTE ]

Or will the first 20 of the second team go to the first hami and the last 10 get stuck in the 2nd?
