slave teri

i would definitely have reported the first (with copies of my logs, if possible), 1 starred him, added "pedophile" to his player note, put him on gignore, and then left team. i definitely wouldn't have validated him by staying and having a discussion with him. You fed the troll, there.

The second group, i would have gignored, maybe added a note about why, and left.

Life is too short to feed trolls.

Actually, the question was answered. Repeatedly. What he was missing was that he's not the only person that thinks teams have to be built a specific way.

i've seen someone else mention that they had to use their forumname and then their gamepassword. You might try that, as well. i've only seen one person mention that being the way they had to go, so YMMV.

Maybe putting a bug in Ocho's ear helped? (Not sure if anyone else thought to actually SAY anything to the powers that be, so i finally did.)

Just disable rep. i did that before i ever even posted on the boards here. i hate rep based systems.

ETA: i used to run a busy forum that defaulted to "rep on" and i quickly found that trolls LOVE rep as a way of getting attention. Negative attention being better than no attention. They would go out of their way to stir the pot just to get ppl to give them more negative rep.

One thing to note: Your mobs will respawn after 15min or so of being outside of the mission. So, if you're thinking you can keep it up and go back to it in an hour and pick up where you left of, you'll be a bit surprised when you find everything respawned.

Still having lagfests inside missions, occasionally. my entire 8man team was fighting it earlier and finally just ended the mission prematurely (skipped optional objectives) to get out of it. i turned on my netgraph and wasn't see much of anything in the way of spikes, despite what we were going through. Slow motion power activation, NPCs who were also experiencing the lag times, etc. Honestly, it felt like an old-style hami raid, from before then 50 person zone limit and hami changes.

Since it wasn't just me or even just a couple of us, but was the entire time, it does appear to be server related.

It was kinda interesting for us to have a nice conversation via lag-speak while we'd wait for the current freeze frame to pass. Well, i found it humorous, anyway.

Usually, the last notes for test become the patch notes for Live when the build is published.

Since it's going to happen and there are going to be people that come to the forums just to complain about the server status page not working...

Yes, it's broken.

Yes, it's stuck on June 24th.

No, refreshing doesn't fix it anymore. It used to, but that hasn't helped since the forum migration happened.

We know it says the servers are up even though they aren't up yet.

me either. It always seemed a bit of a shock when people said they were having problems. They worked great for me.

i did poke Moderator_08 so that he's aware of the problem and can point it out to whoever is in charge of such webpages. i'm not sure if this has ever OFFICIALLY been brought to the attention of the website developer(s).

But, you have to be at least 25 to use Oro. So, you can't just pop in there at one to get to Bricks.

Still, all you need it a SG with a base teleporter to there. Not hard to find.

i did. Even though i ALSO did some AE farming, my Husband and i also got some nice PuGs (not always a contradiction in terms) together to do some story arcs. We leveled up just as fast and managed to get some of the various badges for that, such as the one for Loa Bone. Of course, we also managed to outlevel just as much content, because an 8man team levels psychotically fast no matter where you're playing on Double XP weekend.

Yes, it doesn't change now to the correct date. It's always set to June 24. So, basically it's totally useless now. Needs to be fixed.

i'm assuming the servers are up now that it's 1.5hrs past the usual downtime window, but i can't be sure without logging in to check, because the page is still stuck on June 24. i've refreshed it manually repeatedly with no change.

my suggestion, then, would be to post what will fit, then reply to your post with the rest of the post...

It's like that on all the servers. Even Guardian is laggy today.

The servers are just having trouble handling the load, due to players coming out of the woodwork for double xp weekend. It'll get better come Monday.

No troubles here.

There was a announcement stating that Freedom will be down today for maintenance. Unfortunately, the Dev Digest is borked, so i can't find that info to link it for you.

See ya there!
