Forum Lockout Bug Yesterday?

For about an hour or so yesterday, the Forums would not accept my password and locked me out for a 15 minute period. No matter how carefully I tried, it gave my password the buzzer. It also told me I had two more tries left, then locked me out after just one more (sort of like bypassing the Triple Dare and going right for the Triple Dog Dare. ) I got an email alert that someone had tried and failed after 5 tries.

And I returned about an hour later and got in first try.

Did that happen to anyone else yesterday?

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Yeah, the forums were out of order for 3-4 hours yesterday.

Thanks, folks.

The OCR team tried to post an announcement about it, but couldn't log in to post.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I lodged a complaint/bug on the official VIP hotline and was told that I'd just entered my login and password incorrectly. Which of course I needed to login for my master account. Pretty lulzy that I pay for that extra 'service'.

Please buff Ice Control.

That's happened a few times in the past. A good way to figure out if that's what's going on is to check a couple busier sections of the board and see when the last post was... if none of them have had any new posts in similar to the same amount of time, then it's a fairly safe bet it's not just you.

Thought it was just me so I reset my password to check, it still didn't let me in. But I was overdue for a PW update anyway so it all worked out.

Funny enough, they posted this on FB...which is funny in that they got locked out of THAT (and a few others) earlier this month didn't they?

This happens to me from time to time, though it's usually briefer than a few hours. Occasionally I'll get logged out and then it won't accept my password to log back in. Or else I won't get completely logged out, but it will tell me I don't have permission to post for a bit.

Let's face it, it's not as though the forum software isn't doing what they want to do and pushed to the limits of its endurance.

Eh?

We've not been locked out of our Social Media ever while I've been here.

I just check the New Posts link up above to see when the last post was. After a few minutes of no updates you get the idea of what's up.

Happened here too. So was it random or did it hit everyone?

Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Totally off subject, but awww... You changed your icon. I liked the hat kitty.

Anyway though, yeah, the lockout happened to me too, no one seemed spared.

I'm reasonably certain I know what post you were referring to, and I believe it was entirely in jest.

Yeah, obviously Tyrant was responsible.

EDIT: And what the heck, I'll go ahead and claim this entirely cheap FPARN.

It happened to me too, although I only tried to log in a few times and gave up. Given how weird these forums are about passwords (especially remembering them) in the first place, I just figured it was yet another bug and went back about my normal business.

NCSoft will be getting no more of my money and my GW2 purchase was halted the day of the announcement. I'm a loyal and very profitable customer. I hope to return to giving them all of my money, should CoH survive.

Love the new avatar.

@Liz did a bang-up job putting that together.

Here is her DA page with the image.

I think someone just made a typo.
