  1. If the old updater is taking minutes/seconds, then what might be happening is you may be setting up the installer, versus the full game client install. That's a very small file and downloads/sets up fast.

    Even if you had the game fully installed and set up using the older updater, the smallest patch would still take at least several minutes to download and update.
  2. It sounds like it might be your firewall blocking access to a map server. Or it could be your hard drive is having read errors.

    That's why they're called Incarnate Shifts, not Level Shifts.
  4. Low level characters will still get bonus XP and merits.
  5. The number of MMO customers in the US is still small. The number of MMO customers that have Smartphones is even smaller. Then fragment that even more by pitting iPhone versus Android. You end up having a fairly small group, most of whom are already existing subscribers.

    In the end, I think such an app would be more of a marketing tool than a revenue generation idea.

    Now if this were Asia, I think we'd be telling a different story.

If future Incarnate abilities are only to be used in raids (as others have said, I havn't seen that myself) then there really isn't a point for a casual like me to have them.
    I think it's still far too early to being making assumptions without having experienced the content first-hand, or relying on second-hand information.

    For example - Incarnate abilities being limited to raids? You're right that it doesn't seem like there's a point to having these new powers if you can ONLY use them in raids. And from everything we've seen, that is not the case.

I have seen many come and go in my time playing, and there are not that many of us who have been here since year one. I feel a bit slighted because I am missing this reward by a few weeks. Sorry I live in a small town, where you don't always get new releases on day one. Well that is my grip.
    I don't think you read the announcement correctly. It's not for those who started in the first two and a half months of the game launch. It's for anyone who is subbed Feb/March of 2011.

    So you'll still get it.
  9. How are you able to access the forums? Is it through work?

    Can you access ncsoft.com from home?

    How about a WTF party? (x2 xp, all special events active on a Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday)
    January 27th is a Thursday.
  11. Could he be using a firewall? For example, Peer Guardian blocks a lot of the NCsoft IP's. That would prevent someone from zoning into certain instances.
  12. This sounds more like a routing issue than server issue. Have you tried running traceroutes during the slowdowns? It should tell you where the hiccup is.
  13. Usually if you buy things from BestBuy.com, you can select to pick it up at a local store, if you don't want to deal with getting it through the mail.
  14. Hi all, I'm looking to join a Super Group on Justice.

    I usually enjoy spending my time running Task Forces, and I'd like to find an active SG to run them with. I don't have a ton of time to play, so I usually only play one or two characters at the most for a couple of TF's each week. I do like to theorycraft a little, so being able to talk about builds, strats would be nice.

    I'm on the west coast, so a PST or CST SG would work best for my schedule. Logging on in the evenings or a weekend and seeing SG-mates running content would be awesome.

    I've looked through the list of SG's on the thread in this board, but it's hard to figure out the differences between most SG's just based on that thread.

    Any recommendations, suggestions would be very appreciated.

  16. Would one of you be kind enough to re-upload CoHLCD? The version I downloaded is corrupted, and the most recent link says that the maximum # of downloads has been reached.
  17. I'd rather trust my friends/family for personal advice vs total strangers on the Internet.

    Of course by that logic you shoul distrust what I just wrote and trust me. But then.....
  18. Hm. I have the same bug, but didn't realize it was related to the Crimson arc. Thank you OP, for figuring it out.
  19. I did the L45-50 Praetorian mission and beat Tyrant and got bupkiss.
