viscera

Over the past 3 days I have received 5 "need team?" tells from different people. Three times the senders meant, "I have a team, would you like to join it?". Twice the senders meant, "I see you're running solo, can I join so we can be a team?".

Just wondering whether the tell typically has one meaning or the other, or whether it is always ambiguous (in which case, isn't it kind of a worthless tell?).

Had the white space. Tried verifying files twice to no effect. Third time updater fixed three TexWorld pigg files: v1, v2 & SW. Works fine now.

Running Windows 7 on NA servers. Getting error message that rename failed to delete target c:\program files (x86)\city of heroes\CohUpdater_UI_Win.dll.

Noticed that my CohUpdater did not have .exe extension. When I renamed it to CohUpdater.exe I no longer got error message but instead keep getting endless attempts to connect.

Any ideas?

Father's day is only one day. Do you guys wake up your dads at 5 a.m. Sunday and follow him around until he goes to bed that night because it's Father's day? I mean, there's a difference between spending time with dear ol' dad and not leaving the poor bugger alone. :P

The event starts at 9 a.m. Friday morning (PDT) and runs through Sunday evening. There is plenty of time to get mad double XP even without ignoring your dad and convincing him your a heartless videogame-obsessed monster. Really!

I work on Friday. That means that there will be hours -- hours! -- when that double XP will just be wasting away while I earn my pay. Then the time I'll spend eating, sleeping, in the shower, out enjoying the sun...all that time wasted when I could be glued to my PC earning double XP!

Somehow I'll get through. I suspect those celebrating Father's day will manage as well.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. Even if some people do spend all day Sunday with their father, that still leaves half of Friday and all of Saturday.

Unless, of course, you're the dad like I am with several kids coming in on Friday and staying the weekend.

Now, I'm not about to miss a weekend with the kids to play a video game and I won't get my Depends in a knot about missing another 2XP weekend, but it is the kind of issue you'd hope someone might consider before scheduling an event.

Obviouisly they can't take into account everyone's schedule, but -- and this is just a wild guess -- I suspect a majority of people playing the game are fathers themselves and/or have fathers. So, taking Fathers Day into consideration before scheduling a 2XP weekend doesn't seem like an extraordinary expectation.

They did take Father's Day into account -- it's mentioned directly in Positron's announcement (Positron also happens to be a father himself).

Mentioning something and actually taking it into consideration are two very different things.

Now, maybe they did take it into consideration & I simply disagree with their conclusions (or possibly I'm not taking into consideration some unknown internal issues they also had to balance). However, overall it does seem like this particular weekend with a specific holiday that many people celebrate one way or another may not have been the best choice considering the many non-holiday weekends available.
