Quote:For the Complete Editionc click the "US Version Also Available" link, that's the one I bought.Originally Posted by Gaspard
Hello,
I finally got around purchasing the GR, but I have a small problem.
When I log on to NCsoft store, it only gives me Eu version of the game.
While I live in Finland and have one Eu version of the game already, I switched to NA servers 2 years ago, so buying European version is not an option.
This is the catalogue of items I get when trying to purchase.
What am I doing wrong?
If you mean the other versions then you're doing nothing at all wrong, the Web Team are.
If any US folks could go to their page and send you the direct links for the US versions of the Expansion and the Item pack that'd sort you. -

I do have Seeds, and I use it pretty much every time it's off cooldown. I'm of the opinion that it is the best power in my arsenal. But still, I'm working with DOs still (Lvl 25, for the record), and it's not the most accurate power. Plus the cooldown means I don't get to use it every spawn. Beyond that, I honestly tend to feel a little guilty because I'm cutting down overall XP, but nobody complains so I guess it isn't that bad.
And really, why skip Taunt? The more trying to kill you, the stronger you are, and the team loves you. What is there to lose?
My Dark/WP has it as he'd got no meaningful AOEs or Ranged attacks.
Quote:In my time I've encountered very few Brutes who took Taunt, and they were usually the bad players. Go Figure
Me am sad brute now.
Oh and slot Seeds with SOs (or Frankenslot it with cheap-as-chips Acc/Recharge/Confuse and Confuse/Range IOs) and use it all the time. It greatly boosts XP/Min. -

Just be careful when they challenge you to duels.
There are Chi Masters all over the place now, which is great. Means less Sorcerers about. -
My Fire/Rad controller was a leaky Steampunk bot. He wasn't allowed to use his combat powers in City zones except in extreme circumstances, so I levelled him pretty much exclusively in Hazard Zones up to level 30 (he's a Streetsweeper Extraordinare)
Then the second Rikti War kicked off and that was recinded due to it being an extreme need (as long as he wore a modifed Emergency Medical TP that would relocate him to the SG base if it was detected that he was "Going Critical").
I've never repeated a Powerset within an AT, although I have played Dark Miasma on a Mastermind and a Defender, and Claws on a Scrapper and a Brute.
Oh, and a strong aversion to "thematic" combos of sets for some reason. I'll tend to always try to avoid [Element]/[Element] like Fire/Fire and try and mix them up. As it turns out this tends to result in characters I find more interesting as well. The only exception I have is my Necro/Dark MM. It's not a rule, just something I've noticed when I look over all the characters I have -
Quote:This is how I see it, Brutes were normalized rather than nerfed, which needed to happen to slot them neatly where they belong between Scrappers and Tanks.Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
The Brute "nerf" is in many ways similar to the Dominator "nerf". Brutes have had their highest performance levels taken away for a greater average performance level overall. The biggest impact is to those who were already tweaked for the greatest possible Fury at all times. Similar to those who had double- or triple-Dom.
Meanwhile, this helps those Brutes with slow activating attacks and fewer foes to go up against. And even for a good build that fluctuated a lot between low Fury and the 90% mark, now it should average higher. -

Necromancy...well, the zombies can be forced to do good...but the liche is always evil so idk.
Zombies can also be explained by Reg Shoe, they weren't quite finished with whatever business they had so had to come back to finish it. -
Quote:Sleet whoops its *** in terms of basically everything.Originally Posted by Liliaceae
10 ft radius means you only hit a few of them, 200 second recharge means it's ages before you'll get to use it again. 11% debuff means you won't notice the difference anyway.
What versions of Sleet, Rain of Fire and Ice Storm do Domis get anyway? I'm guessing Corrupter/Controller, Blaster and Blaster? -
Quote:It's a comic book world, so that'd be neverOriginally Posted by Hazygreys
Any word on when the ghost characters will finally stop popping back up?
I missed out on completing the second Loyalist Praetorian mission by about 10 seconds before the servers shut down.
Damn hostages and their short little legs.
The server reset forced me to go to bed at 0:15 local time. Given that I was woken up at 6 by wailing baby and had to get up with him the server maintence was a blessing in disguise. -
Quote:Actually there's one humongous store related one that's affecting a lot of players.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
And complain that there are no big bugs?
But don't let that stop you making trite one-liners or anything, I wouldn't expect anything more of you -
Pretty sure it's the DNS thing from earlier in the week.
My Firefox gets it but my Opera doesn't.
So try as Zombie and I have suggested and try it in a different browser to see if that resolved your issue. -
Quote:Wait, where is this at? It sounds awesome!Originally Posted by Jophiel
I'm picking my retail box up today but I had fun last night soloing. Entered the new Jenkins Marauder mission with my AR/Dev blaster (+0/x6) and got rolled by the first spawn. It was pretty funny.
Also, Marauder got killed by his own minions while I was at the mission entry which I'm pretty sure was a bug
Marauder says "I won't go back to jail!"
Scryer defeats Marauder
Oh, and the giant war robots are awesome. Anything that warns me that it's warming up its orbital lance laser is okay in my book. -
Quote:As I said it works for me, I'm using Opera . Best thing to try on your end is see how it goes with another browser. No harm in giving it a try, it might even resolve your issue.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
I am on IE, I have always been. I have never used a different browser.
I am trying to buy GR for my husbands account...
I cant even get on to my account.
In fact trying it in Firefox highlights one potential issue, they switched domains without changing their SSL Certificate. This could be a tripping point in IE which is causing what you see (or it could merely be affecting just me because I'm EU side).
There was DNS issues earlier in the week for me too, so that could also be causing it for you.
Either way try it in a different browser and see what it tells you, it could help highlight any issues with their set-up or yours. -
Quote:I'm having no issues at all with the Master Account webpage, and haven't all day.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
If the store is up, why isnt the master account page?
What browser are you using and have you tried an alternative one? It could be something funky like a Cookie issue with the browser you normally use. -
Quote:Given the state of most 90s-style-anti-hero types running around Paragon City (see most of the Scrappers out there for details) Thugs will fit in just fine.Originally Posted by ChrisMoses
I just kind of realized this...
There is nothing like the Mastermind class in the City of Heroes game proper. Every other class has its similar heroic counterpart, but not the Mastermind.
Now that this is the first time that the MM will be going through typical Hero missions, task forces, etc with Going Rogue, what are the problems that have already arisen and been addressed? Any at all?
Also, thematically, how does a heroic Mastermind work?
Demons? No way. Well, maybe. Some sort of Dr. Strange-type summoner.
Robots? Maybe.
Thugs? No way. Unless you're organizing a work-program for youths seeking redemption.
Mercernaries? Sure. Agent of SHIELD and such.
Ninjas? Hmmm. I guess not. Daredevil isn't handling it too well as the leader of the HAND right now.
Thoughts?
Why are Bots just "maybe"? I don't understand. -
Quote:The Web Store is up and updated, but that doesn't help you at all slot-wise.Originally Posted by hazey
I am not sure what is worse to be honest, starting the 36th post on the same topic or necro posting the one on the same subject from 2009. (sure caught me out)
What it says to me though is a few things, we still have the same issue one year (and probably more) later, also fewer repeat posts would be made if the problem was addressed so people knew what was happening.
As of 10 seconds ago the online store is still unavailable on Union at least.
And now it gets silly because anyone new / returning logging into the game will get "Store Unavailable" as the first thing they see.
Excellent. -
Quote:My purchase just went through (and they remembered the correct link for US versions from the EU page). They even remembered to disable the purchase button once I'd clicked it once, after the disaster that was the last fiasco when people ordered multiple copies of the one booster. So they have made some small improvements on that end.Originally Posted by FloatingFatMan
Never, in all the foreign purchases I've made online, for game subscriptions and many other things, EVER, have I come across a payment system as stupidly restrictive as NC Softs. It's been complained about time and time again from the EU side for YEARS, and still they do nothing to even attempt to make it easier.
Never before have I seen any company anywhere make it so damned hard to to give them money.
I still have no idea what their "Fraud Protection" criteria is though, it just seems to be a Magic 8 Ball tied onto the server which decides at random who shall pass and who shall not. -

Quote:Should be back now, I've just bought the US Complete Collection and applied it. You may need to hard-refresh the page (shift+F5) to avoid loading older versions of the page.Originally Posted by Protonic_Flux
Exactly, any post from a red name as to when the store would be back up would be appreciated. And we're also suppose to be able to buy the support pack for the alpha and omega auras, as well as the stances today. I'm not seeing them in the playNC store either.

Quote:*sigh*Originally Posted by UnicyclePeon
The store is definitely down, or at least when I log into the game (Pinnacle) my client tells me so. Good thing I made a character last night in Praetoria last night before it went down. I took the day off and I cant make any characters. I got lucky, because I can still play with the one guy I wasn't indecisive about.

Does no-one around here read date posted any more?
-
Purchase of the US version worked flawlessly for me, they even remembered the "US Version Available" link.
Kudos from me! -
Ah, a hard-refresh of the page shows it (shift+F5)
And they actually put in the "US Version Also Available" link for the Complete Collection.
Woo! Go Web Munkies!!
Edit : Purchase and application complete. That was remarkably painless. Well done Web Team, everything worked flawlessly. -
Quote:Nope, these are a whole brand new raft of issues. Ones basically the same as those 11 months ago, which they haven't addressed since, but at least they aren't claiming we're mistaken and everything is fineOriginally Posted by hazey
I beg your pardon I had indeed missed the date of the post and thought it in response to today's issues.
Apparently the store has returned as well. -
Quote:Via the ingame store or the web store? I cannae see it web side.Originally Posted by Zortel
It's up. £4.99 EU side.

Quote:With respect try reading the date Ghost Falcon posted that on before jumping off on one...Originally Posted by hazey
Ghost Falcon, with respect how can you have not seen what must now be hundreds of forum posts regarding the fact the store is and has been down the entire day.
If the 'Ops Team' are telling you this is not the case then they need to either visit specsavers or put some different checks in place.
There are a huge number of players either unable to make a character at all because all their available slots are full or are unable to make a character on the server of their choice.
We have waited in excited anticipation for the launch of GR, please enable people to actually play it now.
Nephili necroposted this thread which is causing the confusion (hence why necroing is bad, mmmkay)
In this instance (ie not 11 months ago) it seems that the store is indeed offline. -
