Log in problems
Yes, sounds like the same trouble I'm having. I get that at the launcher, or if I bypass the launcher, I get the "unable to connect to login server" message when I try to log in with the game client.
It happened to me twice this morning while on an ITF... first time, I mapserved and couldn't get back in for almost 10 minutes (tried various things, just randomly let me back in)...then about 5 minutes later, mapserved a second time and have not been able to log in since about 6am Eastern.
Oh good. I really wish they'd put the login server status on the server status screen too, along with the game servers. When the login server goes down, it doesn't matter what the game server status is.
It's more than the login servers. I can get past everything, then I lose connection to server, then can't get past the login again or even the updater. Been like this for past 3 hrs. Please Fix =D
Hell having trouble even getting to the log in screen. Up to Connecting #35.
It took a while, but I managed to get in. At last look, it was "connecting.... #15", and I stopped watching. Eventually, I heard a click, and I was able to log in.
I was in for about 15 minutes, and I "Mapservered".
The same thing happened last night. I switched to join a Hami raid, and as I approached the Hive, I lost connection, and it took 20 minutes to be able to log back in. During those 20 minutes, the forums would not load, either. Then I got to play for 30 minutes, and lost connection again.
Edit: back in-game

Thank you, Champion.
Is anyone else not able to log into City of Heroes this morning, 3/1/2011 at 6:24 am Eastern? Just getting "Connecting" and no web page on the launcher or any progress at all, despite the servers being up?
