Before I log on,.currently 8:30PM PST, just want to get a confirm on this. I know its been down so not sure when it will be back up. So, anyone out there who was just on can give an update?

I just logged off and it wasn't up yet. I wouldn't expect it to be up until Monday at the earliest.

Servers have been almost grinding to a halt which is strange with a new issue, but no one can realistically missions since their personal storage is getting all clogged up since no one can sell.

Brilliant!


Boycott Ncsoft if they close down Coh.

The more people I meet, the more I'm beginning to root for the zombies.

Give it all to alts, then wait a couple days and sell. I doubt the games gonna fail without WW for a weekend. Can always vendor it, too.

I bet the Vaults are getting much more use than normal this weekend =)

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

I know someone who's farming all weekend. He's deleting junk, vendoring commons and storing good stuff on alts. I doubt regular players are getting stuff at anything like the rates he is, and he's doing fine.

It'll be interesting when the markets start up. Demand and supply are both going to be ridiculous. I predict chaos, profiteering, joy and tears.

delete the junk (or vendor it if you're into that sort of thing), email the good stuff to yourself using the exciting new email system, bob's yer uncle.

it ain't rocket science.

What do you do when your alts fill up.

Vendoring for almost nothing... yup again

Actually, it's not. It's global chat that's down. E-mail is working just fine, as long as you send e-mail to a character name instead of a global (of course, for our purposes here that's effectively the same thing since you can only send attachments to a global name).

Yeah thats what I meant.

This has been a bit of a buggy mess of an issue

Fanboys say "every Issue is buggy". I've been here for quite a few issues (came to the game in Issue 6), and I have to say this is by far the most Inf'-draining, show-stopping set of bugs I've ever seen in an Issue. This thing was pushed live way before it should have just so it could be released on the 6-year anniversary. Not a good plan, in retrospect.

Yeah I haven't been able to play any of my characters except my PvP toon due to most of them having about 75% of their enhancement slots empty due to respecing lol.

just delete it.

the inf generated by commons is too minor to lose any sleep over.

(shrug) If you've been here that long, then your memory is poor. There have been WAY worse issue releases.

(So far - the servers could all go kerflooey tomorrow.)

That said, his point about releasing it just to meet an anniversary is a good one.

I personally wouldn't have released a date for when the issue was coming out in the first place.

/shrug

EDIT: Also someone else in another thread pointed out that there really should have been in a bit more focused market testing in beta.

The market's just not the market one test because it's not the 'real' market.

I dont think i touched the market in Test. why would I? Even if I did, it takes a whole bunch of people to make a market meaningful to use

Just send it to yourself via email and let it linger in the void. If I can come back after a year and still have 300 "CHEAP INFAMY!!! 100$ = 1 BILION" messages sitting in my inbox, I'd expect my own emails to stick around for longer.

This is the only time since Issue 6 I've curtailed my gameplay specifically due to the particular array of bugs in an Issue. I've never curtailed or outright stopped playing an Issue due to bugs before. I'm not the only one. That says something.

At the very least, this set of bugs has gobbled up more Inf than any other Issue (not counting the old 60 day market delete as that was a "feature" not a bug ). The addition of loot like ultra-rares to the game is part of what makes this true of this Issue, but not of earlier ones (since earlier ones had no real loot to gobble up like this one has).

But hey, if fanboys say there's no problem, then no need for any fixes, right? All's quiet on the Paragonian front? If it ain't broke don't fix it? Still workin' on that novel after five years? The one with the protagonist? And the antagonist? Where events happen? /stewie OK, now I'm just funin'.

You'd think that, huh? Guess what? I put a Purple in an Email attachment to clear some inventory room. I thought I was being so clever. Little did I know the globals would hiccup just as I sent it and it would disappear forever. You did know about that bug, right? I call it the Purple Email Eater.

But no, the fanboys are right. Nothing wrong with the game. Nothing at all. Nothing to see here. Yep.

P.S. I should emphasize that, after the bugs are quashed, Issue 17 will be one of the strongest in the game's 6 years. It's great. It was just released too soon.

Which is why they should fill it up with items to get a real test going, the next time they do want to test the market.

They've done it before in a past closed betas.
