Haven't seen him since.

Nowhere does it state that the downtime is for I16, so maybe, just maybe, it's 5 hours downtime to fix a strange bug affecting forum rep...|

Quite why the game servers affect forum rep I don't know - but that's part of what's making this such a strange bug.
Just be thankful that the devs sort it out and can get back to getting I16 ready for an October launch.
By my mohawk shall ye know me!

Why? Firstly they started maintenance an hour early. Second, after I logged out, and ran the client; the client just downloaded and applied a brand new patch
and lastly, the voices in my head told me so. They are also telling me to eat the cookies...

8. Take your low level heroes and go to the Shard to buy a Jet Pack! Level restrictions are gone for hazard zones (but not for TFs, Midnighter Club, Cimerora, or Ourobors.) Organize level 1 footraces (no Peacebringers) from Back Alley Brawler to the Storm Palace (or any other type of exlporation badge quest).
Now that, is win.
Enjoy your day please.

BTW, with the Vanguard Member badge, anyone know if you have to do your own mission or like the Midnighter membership, can you tag along for arc completion with someone else?
If so, I may consider leading a few teams to permit early membership to Vanguard for folks wanting that. I know it would be a pain to get enough merits for your weapons as a lowbie, but might as well open the door for that as soon as reasonable, right?
Edit: Also, if you are going to park a lowbie (sub 20 for a while), I'd suggest doing it in the portal corp for the intern badge. I've done this myself pre-SSK and it wasn't a bad run. Anyways, the end of mission jumbo sized inspirations are VERY useful at low levels if you actually play through them as opposed to using the PL Skip Button.
Well the EU website says that the Defiant server is up, and the client is downloading something so I guess its done.
Edit: Now they're off again, lol.
Edit: Aaaand back up again.
Edit: But the log in server isn't working.
Edit: And now they're down again.
And when they were only half way up they were neither up nor down!

Part of the I16 patch is adding a level restriction of 35 to be able to receive Vanguard merits, so I don't think that would work.

Liberty Server (@enderbean)
Arcs on Live
#1460 Hometown Rivalry
It's Live
Liberty was giving me the can't login internal testing message a minute ago.
Sorry I've only Check EU servers so far
You left one out: If you have any published story arcs in Mission Architect, check to make sure they are still valid. Even if they are valid, play through them if you used custom enemies, to make sure that they are still giving XP.

Virtue up and running. Other US servers were green when I flew past them on the login screen. Assuming the patch started at 6 AM PDT, that's something under 4 hours.|

Kudos to the devs for a relatively fast patch.
Scrappers are just like chainsaws. Somewhat hard to handle, EXTREMELY dangerous, and by far the most fun when wielded by the slightly insane.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

IIRC, unfortunately power customization didn't make its way into the AE yet. Having customized powers in the mission files made them even more tight for space that you could probably only have a couple custom mobs. Sounds like a good reason to up the size from 100k in my opinion.

As soon as I can, I'll log in and jump to .. the MA. I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a story involving an evil gang that call themselves the Colour Corps. It's time to see what power customization can *really* do. |

EDIT: Was beaten to the punch. Curse you, time difference!
One I did yesterday was to run a lvl 9 Safeguard mish with my lvl 50 badger for the exploration badge along with a lvl 9 alt. That one would have been much slower today. (Since I had to run 3 radio mishes to get the bank...the badge part was easy)
