i dont know why, but your link works while Lighthouse's link does not, thank you
Well I cannot get onto the game. I get an error message after login
I get the error about either the server being down or my firewall being the problem.
50% of the time this is Comcast.

Could all this bad connection stuff be related to the Twitter and Facebook Denial of Service attacks? I'd suggest everyone who plays does a clean sweep of all the computers in the home - looking for bugs and the like.

I have been having all kinds of trouble in game with rubberbanding in the last two weeks. Its like everything except my movememnt is rubberbanding. Teammates and opponents movements rubberband. Keystrokes getting missed animations not playing or the wrong animations like watching a friend running in place for 5 minutes but everyone else in the team says the person in question is not moving or running in place only i see that.
So I think its at my end and I go through the works updating my drivers, Swapping video, netcards and eventually a new cable modem.
I read the beginning of this thread and used the netgraph tools. It turns out 6 of the servers show packet loss including my main server.
I have no idea how to cure packet loss especially when its not at my end.

I'm seeing the same thing today, haven't played in at least a week until now. Animations not firing, secondary effects of powers going off before damage happens, power icons not showing that they have fired even though they have. Enemies twitching all over the place, especially when under the effects of ragdoll physics. I'm not having trouble in any other games or anything.

I've been having the same problem ever since they did the server maintenence on 8/10 and 8/11. I thought it was just me until a couple of rl friends I play with who don't normally have problems started mentioning seeing the same thing.

I'm not the most computer savvy person around... *I know some... just not a lot* So, I'm not getting why I can't log in to City of Heroes... I just downloaded the free trial... I get through the updater okay... but then, when I try to login, it tells me that either the servers are down (which according to the site, they are not) or that I'm having some kind of network problem... I've lowered the settings on my firewall, it still doesn't work...
I live on a college campus... and I've seen that it says something about not having the right ports or whatever... I'm not sure I really understand that... I've been able to play other MMO's just fine... so, why wouldn't this one work? I mean... Don't they all kind of operate the same???
I guess if its not going to work, its not going to work... Nothing I can do about it... but it's a real shame... Is there anything else I can try? And if not... I don't suppose anyone would be able to recommend (if that's allowed) an MMO that's kind of like this with lots of customization and such?
I ran the traceroute program from off ftp.cityofheroes.com and have found the reason why I can't seem to connect to CoX..

This corroborates multiple reports I've had from friends in Britain and on the East Coast who're having trouble connecting to/losing packets in droves while in City of Heroes. Something very bad is going on with this exchange.
It's working for me.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
