Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Ahhh ok. I got the NA code and was confused for a second. Was thinking maybe we got lucky and applied at the exact same time. |

. well i didnt notice NA or EU because i thought that when you buy a pack and u have your US account active u get it at US http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...5&postcount=32
Wonder if theres a chance of that code getting fixed.

-.- I'm gonna give up now. It's pointless. The costume packs will be gone before I get a chance to put their codes in.
I think this event was ruined, providing nothing but disappointment for people, by having only a single code per costume.
I've caught each code posting so far within an hour at least, I have the exceptional ability to perfectly read things that are backwards or upside down, I have a very fast internet connection, and I have a Firefox app that lets me zoom in on an image freely. I've yet to win a single code, and I've missed the only one I cared about today.
What kind of people actually win these. Are they just standing in front of their monitor for 12 hours straight constantly refreshing?
This was a terrible way to run it... random drawings would be better than this. Maybe they just had some motivation to artificially inflate activity on those pages?

I snipped everything except the reason you didn't get a code. Even with the "can hit any time" part of the codes dropping, anything over a minute or two is an eternity and over 10 minutes might as well be forever. Even if only one person sees the codes drop, in a under of 60 seconds they can translate and apply every code for a region (I know I can and I have a fairly slow connection, an older computer and my eyesight is slowly degrading).|

You either see it the moment it drops or you miss out. There is no middle ground. The EU folks have a slight advantage in that there is less competition than the NA codes, but it even applies there, just with a slightly longer timeframe.

That's exactly the problem. The only people getting these are those with no concept of priorities or with anything better to do, just standing in front of their computer refreshing those pages non-stop for several straight hours. Or any of thousands of people who might stumble upon it by coincidence the very minute it's posted.|

And then there's the fact that you lose nothing by putting in as many as you can, so everyone just grabs whatever they can whether they actually want it or not. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if NAs are taking EUs and vice versa.
If it were even just a cheap random drawing, at least then people wouldn't have to waste their time checking in on those pages and putting in the codes only to find out you didn't get it fast enough.
Ya win some, ya lose some. Oh well.
You could always subscribe to the Twitter account and get a mobile page when the code is posted.
