Base Goofiness

I neglected to send a bug report in last night for this, but I just noticed a thread over on the EU side that (if my limited French skill is still worth anything) appears that it may possibly be a related issue.

I thought I'd share and see if anyone else noticed anything odd last evening with bases.

In my case, I attempted to enter the base portal and got a 'map failed to load' message and dumped back to Talos Island. I tried again twice more, without succes. I told my team mate who happened to be in the base at the time. On the 4th try I zoned in, but it took a long time to load.

Then, while we were standing there managing an inf. transfer a character zoned in at the entrance. They were very confused, as they claimed to have clicked on a mission entrance but instead appeared in our base - and they weren't in our SG. They were very confused, "Where am I?" It was amusing, and odd.


City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Yeah there's been alot of this going on lately.

At least it's not doing the thing where it deletes bases at random when that happens anymore...

...we hope.

I had somewhat similar problem with entering my VG base on Sunday evening/Monday early morning. I was getting stuck at loading screen. Switching between different toons, restarting client, asking my friend to enter my base didn't help. I had no problem with entering my SG base though.

An interaction with tech support on this issue left me with bitter taste. It was irrelevant to the problem at hand

First, they asked me to run GameAdvisor and select "Aion" instead CoH to gather data about my system.

Second, they asked me to run CoX in "safe mode". After being stuck at loading screen again, I wasn't able to switch to task manager or login screen, and had to powercycle my computer.

Finally, they said that my system is below of minimum specification to run this game, specifically my GFX card "Nvidia Quadro FX1400".
I understand, that it isn't the best or even average GFX card, but I'm able to run CoX at 1600x1200 resolution with 15-25 fps on the most of maps.

The problem disappeared Monday morning. Perhaps, NCSoft restarted some DB servers (but that is just my speculation).
