Thanks for mentioning it Ransim.
I think i'll stay clear of the League system for Hami on those I will lead. -
Just a bit of a warning and something we've learned on Virtue (though I haven't been able to test it recently) using a league for hami significantly increases zone lag and was even potentially the cause of a few zone crashes and rollbacks we saw on Virtue.
So we've just been doing them without a league. -
I happily picked up Dirty Deeds on Union.
Anyone from Union coming to Virtue who is also a Union Verse user is welcome to join the global channel for Virtue Verse (two words). -
Usually whatever is on my playlist of the week/month from the epic mp3 collection of doom.
Its a safe bet that the most commonly played stuff on my last.FM are the things I listen to. http://www.last.fm/user/ransim
Combichrist, Terrorfakt, Ruoska, Caravan Palace, even some Lady Gaga, and Muse. I'm pretty unapologetic about what I listen to because I just like music. And occasionally online radio, I'm a Grooveshark subscriber/addict. -
Welcome to the global server list merge!
I'm inviting all UnionVerse users to join us in the Virtue Verse global channel.
/chan_join "Virtue Verse" (yes two words I have no idea who has virtueverse which is private)
Look forward to talking to you guys there. -
Sorry to see you guys go, but definitely a classy way to do it.

The villains are now in Atlas, stirring up the emotions of the heroes of Paragon. Begging them to join the battle.
No one dares stand against us! -
I know blue Hamidon raids haven't been happening, but red Hamidon raids have!
Villainside Hamidon raiding is still on and still working as expected, the booting issues have not happened in the past two weekends we've run them. -
This is a perfectly acceptable solution to me.
Now... we just need to destroy Freedom. -
There are not nearly enough posts in this thread. I smell a lot of chickens.
I think the heroes are afraid. -
Quote:We have done the past couple villain raids with like 32-40 people.Originally Posted by Grae Knight
Now that we are waist deep in Incarnate power, does the same Hamidon strategy apply? Also, are Hami (Hero) Raids still occurring on a regular basis?
I have been running the villain raids but there are less people showing up and it takes longer to form. I don't know about the Hero Raids, I believe Robokitty was running them like she was for villains for a long long time (<3 kitty) but not sure if she still is.
Right after the last issue dropped the abyss and hive crashed hard at the end of the raids and rolled everyone in zone back (all rewards lost) so it turned a lot of people off. Its been hard going getting people back in.
BUT!
I've run three raids since then without any issue in the Abyss (which is laggier then the Hive). The rule of thumb is:
No league! - No idea why but using a league causes major zone lag and I suspect the zone crashing.
People also suspect the lack of a full zone is accounting for it not lagging/crashing, but honestly I doubt it. We had 40 people last Sunday without any lag at all.
But I guess if Kitty isn't running them and no one else steps up I can come run the Hero one tomorrow after I go get my free comics. -
Quote:So you're going to up the population cap to exceed the current active users in the game?Originally Posted by Zwillinger
We don't anticipate the queue being an issue as we will be cranking it way up for this event. That's the purpose of the event, and the entire reason we created this badge, is to get as many people as possible onto one server with the improvements as possible.
We'll have more updates later on today.
O_O
That's... an impressive amount of people. Though I guess we have no idea what the current sub numbers are but it has to be over 100K. Even if only a quarter of that shows up thats 25,000 people on a single server.
You guys buy some fancy load balancers or have a virtualization set up because, wow. -
Quote:Energy Morph and the Dimensional shift are probably my two favorite costume change emotes.Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
Let me tell you then, that my reaction upon seeing Ouroboros trashed was "OH HELL YEAH!", Energy Morph is my favorite transformation (tied with VanguardSigil), and my main uses the Atomic aura. So yeah, I'm a fan.
Are you also the one responsible for the neat gold shimmery effect in the Mender Ramiel arc conclusion? If so, I love that effect - now make it possible to duplicate in demoediting!

What is the Twitter account for Virtueverse?
I post announcements for both sites there and it auto posts whenever a new page goes up.
It uses two hash tags as well #virtueverse and #unionverse -

Quote:Sounds like me with VirtueVerse "Seriously guys I need some non-character features, how about groups and stories?"Originally Posted by Bunny
*Prods* Hey guys I would love to see some nominations for featured content as so far my nominees are down to someone nominating one of my pages (Which is a huge compliment but I'd love to see the love shared around!)
Otherwise I'm going to have to go ahunting myself!

Trioxin is looking for a couple more test subjects. She'll be there looking for some willing or unwilling voluteers. For SCIENCE!

Quick Fix: Subpages should now properly link back to their parent document.
So stories should now properly link back to your main page as long as its properly added as a subpage.
