Well, this is a request that I've seen with some regularity ever since issue 9 and the new Hamidon gave us the 50 man zone cap on the Hive. It's something that's needed, but since it hasn't been implemented in all the time since issue 9 (7 issues!) I wouldn't hold my breath on it ever happening.|

The question is, is there anything that will be implimented such as a 10-15 minute timer garounteeing your postion in the zone, so that your efforts are not wasted and you have only worked up a bit of debit (I know for 50s this doesn't matter but for some players they start going at level 45). This has reciently happened to myself and thus I am frustrated and I would like to see a solution for this irritating issue (Please excuse my spelling and grammar :P ) Starfold |
Sorry you got bit by the zone cap, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any interest on the Dev's part in putting in a fix.
COH has just been murdered by NCSoft. http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes
I've had discussions with BaB about this kind of system back when he was in charge of revamping Hami.
Basically as long as there's only 1 (at the time, now a few) raid(s), engineering a [insert your solution of choice here] isn't practical. Everyone agrees it's a total bummer.
All that being said, in the more recent past, the devs have said that more zone events and big participation type things are in the works. Here's hoping that means more raid type things, and that they will look again at the system and implement a zone queue/raid grouping/disconnect buffer system.

It happens damn near every time I play, I am constantly having to re-join teams, I don't know whats wrong but CoH crashes every couple of hours, I am sure I am not the only one that has issues with staying connected to an MMO

Disconnecting that often is a completely separate issue. I recommend heading to the Tech Issues section. Your first steps are going to involve diagnosing your own machine and home network and internet service, because chances are it's not simply a problem with the game.

Sorry that happened to you. Sometimes you just get screwed by lady luck. Over the weekend I dced out of an itf with 3 traitors left to kill, by the time i got back in 60 seconds later it was done. No merits. C'est la vie

This small 'issue' could make a big difference to us players especially if it was addressed.
