  1. I had this, you can't auto complete (at least it wasn't an option for me). I bugged then petitioned and a helpful GM completed it for me

    CoH Faces Dilema

    Added Damz. Can't have you feeling unloved
  3. It might be full I don't know. But why in all that's useful don't they give it an error message such as "copy tool full please try later" or could that message be just to helpful

    As it is "Character name you provided is invalid." seems to be as helpful as an error message on MircoSoft XP
  4. I'm hoping to get to the meet mid late Saturday morning.

    Didn't you get my payment??

    Damn you just can't trust the banks

    This was talked about before the forum merge by War Witch on the old EU forums. Don't know if it is still on the cards.

    Re: EU gets shafted - AGAIN!
    Hey everyone,

    Now that I have got some more “official” information from our publishing/marketing teams in Europe, I figured I’d give you a quick update. I'll paraphrase as best I can.

    This isn’t just from me (because you guys already know that I love you), but the EU community is very important to both Paragon Studios and NCsoft as a whole, and have always been passionate about making sure you have a great time in the game. Everyone involved is committed to making sure that you feel loved and appreciated, and I hope that starts to come across, especially as we ramp up marketing and PR for Going Rogue. In fact, I’ve been told that NCsoft is about to announce a number of distribution partners that will sell and promote Going Rogue in Europe, including offering the prepurchase program that kicked off earlier this month. You’re also about to start seeing a lot more coverage of Going Rogue on your favourite gaming websites, blogs, press outlets, and advertising as the expansion nears its launch date. (Ok, that sounded kind of marketing-ish, but it's pretty much verbatim what they said.)

    Next up: the box. This is a big issue and I know some of you are pretty cheesed about it. So here is the information I got (which shouldn’t come as a surprise, really): because the game is online, and our consumers are predominantly online, it makes business sense to distribute online. Most MMO gamers in the EU are very net savvy and comfortable purchasing/downloading online. So NCsoft sells online because that is how more and more people are buying games, and we do get most of our new players from online distribution. There are boxes on the shelves in the U.S. because, from a distribution perspective, there is more demand here—a much lower percentage of people in the US have broadband compared to the EU. (I didn't know that part.) Plus online distribution and production is much less complicated in the US, with only a single language version and a handful of major retailers and distributors, versus three languages and dozens of distributors in Europe. So there are no plans for a box on shelves in EU, but you will see Going Rogue available soon in a variety of digital stores across Europe.

    Before you scream at me, remember, this isn’t something I have any say in. I’m just the messenger, so don’t shoot me! (If it were up to me, however, I’d have a box. That’s just me. No I don’t have the pull to get one. No, I don’t understand all the financial/technical issues behind it. Yes I’m shooting my mouth off. But I did ask, and point out - several times - that it sure would be nice.) As someone who prefers a box, I get your frustration; although now that I think of it, I did just buy software digital-only, so I’m kind of a hypocrite.

    Last topic: servers. Yes, the EU servers feel underpopulated at times, and that makes it harder to group. Last year we merged the forums to bring the EU and US communities together. There are, however, no plans to merge the servers, but we are looking at designing an in-game system that will help solve the problem. One of my big personal goals is bringing people together, and this will help with that agenda. (How's that for vague? What can I tell you, it's "in development.")

    Anyway, I'm sure they're not all the answers you wanted to hear, but at least you have "an official word" now, which was the goal of the exercise. So that is progress.

    I seem to recall more but there is only so much searching I feel like doing
  9. Gamma Force from Defiant were there in force almost 2 full teams. We were in Steel and the lag was interesting I only had a level 5 (started the night as a lvl2 but we did some missions before the event) unslotted now that was "fun"

    I gave up at 12:40am BST. But I'm glad I was there.
  10. Yes the four ex EU Servers should be on the same list as the 11 ex NA servers. Just maybe then we in the EU will be able to see if the ex EU servers are up or down (This hasn't worked on EU side in all the time I've been playing)

    My word sir you are getting it

    I was one who wanted and campaigned for the list merge. I'm also lucky that my global wasn't effected.

    I have seen on Defiant (my home server) a lot of new to me alts.

    I am enjoying making alts on the ex NA servers. If you see a Mereman on a server near you it's me
  12. Where do I start

    I've also done the waiting for a train at the exit.

    6 slotted brawl. Well it had to be a good power as you were given it to start with

    My first alt a Fire/Fire blaster dinged lvl 6 went to get a pool power didn't notice the thumb to scroll for more choices. Took me months to figure that out All the time wondering how other players got the, for me hidden powers

    I came from another MMO (a clue there's 2 a Q and a E in the name) where there was one class which was a good healer and fighter. Well I thought as I'm dieing a lot on my blaster I'll roll something similar, so after looking at the options I rolled a Defender Emp/Rad but I then ignored the Emp side and put everything into Rad. Funny no team wanted me

    Even now 4 years on I still goof. The latest was on my first BAF. Joined a league entered the mission and I thought "why is everyone so quiet" not a word. Somehow finished it. A few days later was talking to some SG mates about the leagues and one mentioned league chat A very quiet Mereman crept off to hide his embarrassment

    This just a few of my many goofs.
  13. Hi and Welcome to Defiant
  14. Info for anyone going onto Defiant the main Global channel is Defiant Events EU

  21. My Global wasn't affected. But my wife's was.
  22. Looks like they were kind to an old man I'm still @mereman
