The down time comes at 1 a.m. here in Hawaii, how about taking the servers down at 1 a.m. EASTERN time zone for a change. That would put our servers down at 5 or 6 p.m., depending on Daylight Savings Time on the East Coast.... perfect! We get to eat dinner and the game will be up when we are done! Feel that East coast love for a while.

I'm a 5+ yr vet, started in June after the game launched. I have every release of the game, including the CoH DVD, CoV DVD, every upgrade, addition, bonus, etc. I've never let my account faulter, paying over $900, over 5 years, to enjoy the game and its rewards. When you have done the same, you will have all the treasures in your posession, too.

I recently began a second account, and just received the 3-month vet reward on it. I've already purchased all the bonus packs, and even bought unused CoH and CoV DVD editions and added them to that account (Prestige Power Slide, and other benefits). Only difference I've noticed is not having Sands of Mu and Nemesis readily available, but I'll have them in the near future.

If the devs would match primary account vet rewards to secondary and following accounts, I'd be more sympathetic to agreeing to making vet costume pieces available to all new players. I wouldn't agree to letting new players have the vet power rewards (Sands of Mu, Nemesis Staff, etc.)

Meh, toss 'em the wings, that'll quiet 'em for a while.

Just leave it alone, it works fine.
If the devs start tinkering with it, something somewhere else will go wrong... it never fails.

I've remade plenty of toons over the past 5 years. If I really like a look, and not sure if I'd remember every detail on a redo, I take the toon to costume shop, go through every click and wirte them down. Most pieces have two bubbles to fill with color, so I use a simple column/row set for colors on all the parts. For example, (7,2)(6,5), means I look at color chart, count over to the 7th Column, then go down to Row 2, and that is Bright Red for my first color. Over to 6th Column, and down to Row 5 for my second color which is Bright Yellow. Then I click the sliders, and draw similar slider charts for the face and body details (if I had adjusted them originally).

I have posted similar reply in the other Oceanic Lounge maintenance thread. Here in Hawaii, the servers go down at 1:00 a.m. We aren't afforded the late-/over- night games sessions that the mainland U.S.A. enjoys. Previously, and until just recently, the servers went down at 3:00 a.m., which was appreciated by most of us.

I used to live on the East coast of the U.S. and the servers went down at 9:00 a.m.!!! They now go down at 7:00 a.m., and I hope East coasters respect the priviledge of having awesome all-night game time.

It would be nice to have the 3:00 a.m. shut down return.

As I stated in the other post, the devs hate City of Villains, but hate the Pacific region even more.

The devs hate City of Villains, but they hate the Pacific region even more.

The new maintenance schedule is ridiculous. In Hawaii, we are shut down at 1:00 a.m. The schedule totally eliminates any overnight gaming sessions, and will be extremely irritating if it continues through the Halloween and other events.

All the mainland U.S.A. time zones get to enjoy their late night game sessions, and we should be allowed the same. Previously, the schedule shut East coast down at 9:00 a.m., which would be 3 a.m. in Hawaii, which was an easier time to accept than the 1:00 a.m. cut-off we have now.

It is hard enough putting teams together at our odd game time, just to have the game shut down when we start having fun.

How much of an outcry do you think there would be should the devs regularly lock down the game at 1:00 a.m. in any of the mainland U.S.A. time zones? Scary to even imagine.

Be fair, and let us have our late night game time back.

I have 3 toons that have their entire Inspiration box filled with Winter event Presents, and most of my toons have 3 to 100 candy canes in their possession. Don't know why I kept them, maybe I'll sell them just before the event this year when prices go crazy.

Crippling Axe Kick and Air Superiority are both useful in knocking down flying targets, so you could use one or the other if you need an extra slot.

I enjoy both Short Circuit and Lightning Field. One use that hasn't been mentioned here for Lightning Field is it is useful in badge hunting. Keeping it on while chasing lower level numbers of spawn is awesome...they melt like butter before your eyes and you dont have to break a sweat taking them down.

Drats... just finished fiddling with Mid's to work with the 5yr vet reward for travel powers... pick just the travel power itself at level 6, without having to also pick the preliminary power in the set. I'm pausing before making all these I16 changes. Any update on when Mid's predicts their own I16 changes will show up?

You can't 6 slot Hurdle and Swift without 6 slotting Brawl. THAT is an abomination.

I don't mind the swelling, but I hate the

Just an addendum: You cannot apply a serial code to an account that already has that edition applied to it. So if your primary account already has CoH CE and CoV CE on it (and it sounds like it does), it won't let you use those codes on your main account. So you should have no worries about adding your new codes to the old account.

Just make sure that, when applying the second code, you upgrade the new account, rather than creating two new accounts!

My primary account DOES have all the updates, add-ons, special releases, etc. So, it looks like I have to create a whole new account to use these Collector Editions, correct?

Hmm... I clicked Use a Serial Code, and entered code. Now it wants me to create a new Account Name and Password. There is no option to ADD.
When I entered my current account name and password, it comes back saying it's already in use.

I did get to Game Account Details which shows I have 3 game accounts:
CoH
Dungeon Runners (mine---used for about 1 minute)
Dungeon Runners (kids---used for about the same)

There is a selection to UPGRADE Account and Download PC Client, but there is no ADD Account.

I can't seem to locate the Add Acount.

A little more help, please!

Thanks for the great assistance and advice!

I use Input Director to operate both games with one keyboard.

The second account will be primarily for my kids to share, so I'll have two keyboards. But, that is a good suggestion for someone else reading this post wanting 2 accounts/one keyboard.

Again, THANKS!

I've just purchased a second pc, and I want to create a second account installing an extra copy I have of the CoH Collector's DVD edition, and the CoV Collector's edition.

How do I go about creating the second account? I do not see any selections on my Account Mangagement for second accounts, and don't want any complications from the NEW CoH game codes going into my current CoH game.

My current account has every CoH/CoV release, update, etc. code since CoH went live.

I am using the game packs listed above for my second account to get the bonuses (costume pieces, badges, powers, etc.) for the second account, otherwise I'd just download the current release.

So, what is the process to create a second account, without messing up the current one, as far as game codes, billing, etc.?

Thanks for any help you may provide!!!

I live in Hawaii, I need not go anywhere else for vacation.
See ya in the water, Aloha!

Then, thank goodness voters elected a media puppet, because the alternative would have been another 4 year nightmare.

How come there are no cool republicans?

I prefer going to either Steak 'n Shake or Backyard Burgers to any of the other fastfood joints. And even better than those two restaurants, are my own grilled burgers on my Big Green Eggs.
Next time you are on Oahu let me know, and I'll fire up the smokers.
