somebody goofed on 2X exp weekend of all weekends to goof and cause major server lag and long load times plus mapservers and drops

my example
reg time to do --- today time to do
load 1 min 5 min
load mission map or other 15 sec 5-6 min or get dropped
no lag at all
lag to the point it took 12 min to get to the far island in nerva



so can we get a fix and a reset of double exp weekend?

same here for protector

well i guess with the forum migration real maintenance was ---clears throat--humm forgotten!! this seem to happen everytime we have 2X exp weekends thank god this game does not have a high pop or regular days you could not even log in then too!

Face it, the end goal of this game is to keep as many of us paying $15/month as they can. If they give us a "You Win" button, then there's nothing left to do, people quit, and the game dies.

but if you get sick of grinding as i do and feel that by lvl 50 at least one power should be uber and your influence bank and merit bank empty the day you slot all that up in 1 power is fine

what i expect from a good game is not what is being played out now --grind --grind --no real end game or chance to earn uber rares but grind --GRIND!! that kinda play makes me think of--say other games that reward my long play

merits should have been
save all of them during toons life and get one set uber rare at the least!!
quote from memory for other topic on merits --you can play all the tf's in game once and do most of all the story arc's in game and all you will have the ability to get after that with merits is 1!! set!! of regular named IO's

that is where i see a fix is needed --not in real world drop rate

just fix merits to --"ohh I play this TF and that stuff for this long or so I CAN get what i want
not GRIND -- GRIND maybe!!!!

Use the market, then.

I play it for about 25-30 minutes a day, tops. and I have almost an entire purple set bought now. plus 70 mil stil I'm using to start building my fortunes again.

Not that I think you'll listen, as you're probably one of those types who wants "everything right nao because I need it"

"Not that I think you'll listen, as you're probably one of those types who wants "everything right nao because I need it"

did i "even "say or imply that i want everything "right now" humm no what i said is --that even getting one set now for a casual player who does not grind or have tons of time and note paper to 'play"the market is impossible

all i have said is that there may need to be a new way or an adjusted way to guarantee certain rewards for time played instead of maybe soon you might kinda someday sorta get a chance to find some we have now

this you'll get it soon if you play and wait reminds me of statesman's enhancement diversification speech 4 years back or so SOON! from him meant 3 years of crap gimped toons

well, maybe if everyone did regular missions instead of AE all the time then there would be a steady flow of purples again. and with the bug going on with PvP drops right now, there are none to be put up in the market. they are both suppossed to be ULTRA rare. i drop ataleast 1 purple a day running regular missions. and 1 PvP recipe about evey 1-3 days depending on how much PvP i do.

[/ QUOTE ]

say what!!! 1 purple per day i've done 4 toons too lvl 50 the hard way with little teaming or 2-3 on team and that said toon is avile to get purp's for 4 lvl's and all i ever see is 1 MAYBE!!!! so do ya play for like 14 hrs a day or what???

and the drop lvl for all stuff needs fixing its way too low when what was at auction was going for 250 now nets 100k

hey if more tuned in I'd still be working on it from time to time but with all of ya''ll watching American idol and Survivor --reality crud I gets to stay home ----

yes I'm whining !!!!

there are some things still being tackled, but being a CoH player myself, I can tell you that there have been a lot of improvements over time

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm curious as to these improvements you speak of. While there may have been performance ups and downs over time, I've come across no functional changes that have resolved any of the known issues nor have I ever seen any of them listed in the patch notes for the new Catalyst packages over the past near four years.

[/ QUOTE ]
Believe me, I'm not saying things are perfect. But I've been playing the game since it launched too, and I know a long time ago we had some issues with shadows that have since been corrected, as an example. But as you can see from some of my posts, we do have some improvements to make and are trying to tackle this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Were you an ATI employee prior to the AMD buyout?

I must admit some level of curiosity at the fact that you've been playing since launch but seem unaware of the extent and depth of the ATI issues that have plagued this game since launch.

In any case, thanks for punching that thread through the channels.

Back when I was more interested in the fight, I sent those same findings through the feedback channels at ATI, then again after the AMD merger, and constantly pushed the info here for the Cryptic team prior to the NCNC conversion.

I believe I gave up some time before Cryptic left the picture.

It will be nice to see if any of this leads to better days for ATI users. It wasn't until the somewhat recent purchase of an Nvidia G92-8800GTS that I had used anything except ATI video cards since 3DFX went under way back when.

Hi BillZBubba - not to get into the whole "history of me" but yes, I am a former ATI person. However, during my ATI days I actually worked in a completely different group that had nothing to do with gaming or drivers. Please don't think I'm here to "convert" you - not my intention. If you like our products, great; if not, that's okay too. I'm not one of those people who believes that we always have the best solution and are infallible - we can always do better. That's one of the reasons we wanted to do this thread - to get some real feedback from CoX players, whether good or bad, and when it's feedback that isn't positive, see if we can correct things.

good to see ya talking to bill the ATI GOD!! of the forums here he is our ati card go to guy and tests all the new stuff out for us and really does care for us non-tech types with ATI cards that need help to get the thing to work even half well with this game --on other notes he has been hanging out here for 4 years on the ATI issues banging his head on hard rock for us to the dev's and somewhat being ignored a bit sometimes --so if you need feed back for new drivers for us go to him as we here have found out time and time again "use the latest drivers you can " really means use the one that work. As some of ATi's drivers have really crashed this game "hard" in the recent past (read our ati forum for this )

but most of all send some cool cards bills way for free (to test vs coh/cov--wink nudge wink)as he has carried more water up hill for ya unrewarded in the last years and deserves it bad!!!

someone plz
/e slap bob from accounting as he is stuck on the idea of everything in game is 9.99$$$$ for 1 use or 1 slot or 1 whatever tell him maybe 3 fer 10 or what ever but 10 for 1 never

and if your going to sell something 10$ for 1 make it 10$ for 1 billion influence (says that while pointing little finger at lip doc evil style ) or something

lived in LA all my life and in pasadena home of the quake gods who tell us "how big " it was --till it hits a 6.0 you should be fine

till then just go with it or runn in shear terror back to
( tornados--hurricans--blizzards-- floods or what ever) you had back home before you hit CALI --Ill take shakers any time at least all i own is "still" in the same pile not blown all over the county --lol

Is any COX dev's going to show at the "E for all" show in los angeles in OCT ?

having major probs with your binds --
tried cut and paste 5 times it dont work .but found that if you drop all the caps to lower case it will work. all but the "numpad1 " bind can you fix this as I dont even get how this works at all.

and due note have tried other binds from other forums with no issues at all with cut and paste

would really like to see this work for me

thanks

edit did get them to work --but same on the need to drop all caps in the command is needed
