Sorry you couldn't make it Radio 
I hope your problem fixes itself real soon!
Last night was amusing, but took a lot longer than was expected (due to the mobs being +3 to half of us for much of the SF). Very sorry about the overrun, if I'd considered the time we should have split the SF over two weeks. I hope you guys still enjoyed it regardless (and I hope the final 2 missions more than make up for the amount of travelling in that SF!).
The next week or two, as requested, will be a chillaxing week. Nothing but regular, paper and mayhem missions.

...But don't hold your breath.
When I was getting constant packetloss, it took about 6 months before the issue went away all on its own, and that includes having been through the whole netinfotool -> Hijackthis -> Everest -> etc. etc. chore with support. (at one point, I was losing about one incoming packet every second, if not more often)
It's likely to be a router issue somewhere between you and the game servers, and so unlikely to be easily fixable by NCSoft or you.
Good luck, but don't necessarily hold your breath, or play any AT's requiring twitch reflexes 
(I was tanking for a big chunk of my high packetloss period last year, which was easier, as I was concentrating on defensive tanking, but is still got unpleasant.)

Hopefully see you guys tonight for a relaxing evening of gunfire and explosions!
Would appear my lag probs are gone so should be there tonight
Reality is keeping me busy...I've made time to help finish the Dom Respec trial, but this week I need to keep my CoV addiction in check. See you guys next week. (Or tomorrow, with the Domination)

I would be on mondays for trappings but I keep forgetting. Also I'm currently grinding my ar/dev blaster for Issue 10 (and I want a 50).
However now we have the RWZ, maybe we can do a trapper/devices team as well?
It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!

Not a bad idea that! I've got an AR/Dev Blaster at 41 as well (though he doesn't have Trip Mine right now, but that can easily be respecced).
Cool, mines 40 and does have trip mines... no timed mine though but Auto Turrets!
It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!
My AR/Dev only has 3 Dev powers right now... Webnade, Caltrops and Cloaking Device! Skipped TD because it's good but very annoying, and tried and then dumped all the other Devices.
Part of the reason I started the Trappers theme night was to experiment with loads of Trip Mines, something I had no patience for solo with my Blaster.
Trip mines are very tricky to do. I once laid about 6 and a single enemy set them all of and most of them missed. Ironically very funny.
Another time I laid about 9 and red caps would not stop running into them before flying of in every direction.
It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!
See you all tonight! The plan is nothing more complex than paper missions, and hopefully another mayhem or two.
And stomping Barracuda and Calystix of course .
Oh yes, forgot about them!
Last night was a lot of fun. A few of us have hit 30 now too.
Fraser Phipps has remodelled the base soemwhat, as we found we'd collected 800k of Prestieg we weren't using.
Next week we'll start Doc Buzzsaw's story arcs (had a few Bling dings last night too!), then once everyone's up to level 30 we'll do the aura and 3rd cossie missions together.

You guys seem to be leveling a lot faster than the Dom team. What's your secret?
I'd like to say it's because we all have traps means we're stacking a lot of Def (FFGs) and -Def and -Res (Acid Mortars) in every fight. I'd like to say that, but honestly it doesn't feel (to me) like I'm playing faster with Mea Culpa than with Footloose...
EDIT: Ah! Less debt. I think that's the ticket. We do have a lot less playerdeath than in the Dom team because our protection's so high. I mean, ludicrously high. 6+ FFGs, and now someboy's taken Vengeance as well... 
It could also be that we set out knowing exactly what we needed to do, this time around. Really we're trying to get to 35 and Trip Maines as fast as we can. I bet we've missed loads of badges left and right.
I'm sure things will slow down a bit in the 30s, as they tend to do.

Um ... Scourge and Thugs I reckon 
Oh and a shed load of FFG's!
*sings* Trap trap trappity trap traps...
Looking forward to tonight. After my moaning last week I'm sooo glad we're getting a freespec along with I10 too
Doc Buzzsaw and cossie/aura missions tonight, I hope!
I seem to recall we took down Ghost of Scrapyard a few weeks ago, right? We can go get Crimson Revenant as a contact in Nerva after the Doc if so.
I can't wait for next week! We're too young to get the Vanguard merits unfortunately, but it will be interesting to see how the Trappers fight Rikti.
Aside from that, I think we've got the end of Doc Buzzsaw's arc to do, then we can do our aura/costume missions before we go pester Crimson Revenant in Nerva.
Oh, and I got my new cossie all ready to go too.
Eyes ready to look at your bunny tail
I better remember to pickup both missions before Monday

I'd suggest huddled together under all your FFG's personally. There is a metric truckload of AoE mez flying around now. Oh, and carry BF's to deal with the sleeps.
And I reckon that Trappers are going to become damn useful in Mothership raids. Hold/Stun/Immob protection that doesn't drop when the character gets mezzed? Hell yes.
I was on a raid last night that just couldn't get rolling. At one point the U'Kon had spawned and was stood on a carpet of orange names. I got passed a wakey, and a BF, popped them, and a purple or two, hit Howling twilight, and everyone came back up. For 5 or 6 seconds.... Then they all fell over again as all the Rikti that were stood around (including 5 or 6 Magus') unloaded everything they had in their direction. That was worrying

Your story is quie worrying, hehe...
I've not had a chance to try the raid yet, but it sounds a lot more fun than Hamidon does. And yeah, all those FFGs will be extremely handy in such a situation.
I was thinking of wheeling Motor Mouth out to see how he does against those invasions. I could see traps being really useful since the rikti will just spawn right on top of them once they get going.

Good luck tonight folks, I won't be there as for whatever reason I'm still getting massive amounts of packetloss which makes it unplayable.
Currently running a prog NC Soft have for this so I can submit a petition later tonight.
Don't expect me for Dom night tomorrow either because of this.
