Quote:Kinda seems it wasn't just the UK players with issues, but a good portion of the rest of Europe too.Originally Posted by aleph_EU
I really hope that the servers weren't moved to appease the English players whose ISPs seem to have a notorious bad routing to German servers, while at the same time forgetting about all the real European players. -
It would be interesting to see if it's just the UK who have better service, or if the rest of the EU (barring the Germans clearly from Aleph's message) are also seeing improvement.
I think most of us who posted above are UK players. -
I had one Massive lag spike on.. um... thursday or friday night.. and got DC'd. Otherwise running better than ever.

Oh, so there are four videos out there that just emphasize why I'm no longer needed. That's reassuring to know. I feel more comfortable now leaving y'all to take up the slack.

Quote:My bad. I saw one recently, stuck in my head. So given the choice of potentially having to have EU attached to your global or not getting a server list merge you would...?Originally Posted by Blue Rabbit
Sugar buns, sweetie pie, sweet potato fry up... If you only have seen one people attached to their global, you're doing it wrong. There have been some players expressing their dislike towards this most vehemently, me being one of them. From the top of my head I think I recall FFM, Myopic Aardvark and some others express their opinion against it also.
So no, it's not just one person. It's several.
Edit: And I should have know that would happen as soon as I posted that. -
Quote:They'll be usefull, if you don't want to slot any of the fitness pools. If you do... you'll need to respec after it goes live anyway.Originally Posted by KILLA_G
Im just a tad confused, sorry. I have some freespecs right now that I can be using to remove fitness if this is the case.

Quote:If you read the EULA you aren't guarenteed access at all times. So you have paid for this month, not this day specifically. Jeez, lighten up.Originally Posted by fire_fire
Yes thank you for the link, i have seen it already though.
So i'll say it again, This is a bit much, i have paid for today and haven't been able to use it, i want compensation.
"This move does not impact your account, characters or game client. "
No, not at all.
Just can't play.
You'll note this is on an EU server board. Are there issues in the NA too?Quote:Originally Posted by GhoulSlayer
Two things: First of all, the above link is for EU servers it isn't supposed to affect NA servers. Secondly, i19 is supposed to come out on Tuesday so they're probably working on something related to that. Who knows? We might even get an early release. -
Quote:Ummm, whut? You've already added slots to Stamina and Health before it's live? There is NO way to respec before it goes live if you want to do this. Procrastination has NOTHING to do with it.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Simple. I already went thru all my characters (80+) and used the freespecs they gave us when I18 went live in August. So we've had more than enough time since we learned about Fitness becoming inherent to get all our characters ready before I19 goes live. Procrastination isn't a viable justification for not being ready.

Quote:Nope, warned about it yesterday. I'd imagine a server list merge would require more notice to nut out what happens with globals etc. Although I've only seen one person say they wouldn't want to change their global. I have no attachment to mine except thats what people know my by. I'd change in a hearbeat for a merge, as would most EU players I'd bet.Originally Posted by Hibernia
Saying that , did we see see the servers being moved as quick as they did or did i miss some news to that effect? , knowing how slow i am at the best of times it's probably been in the public knowledge for weeks

To watch the slow motion train wreck.

I think the Mids team work on whats live. They plan for the changes (so they are working on inherent fitness) but they won't release it untill I19 is live. I'm pretty sure I've seen this said somewhere a while ago.

Quote:It's a bit dearer to get to the states than $200 from the UK, or NZ, or pretty much anywhere really. Plus accomodation etc...Originally Posted by LISAR
If you can afford 200+ plus for the game code you think you could have gone to the convention.
This is a great idea!Quote:Originally Posted by Dollymistress
I still think my idea of placing a code in the ending text of an AE arc was the best way to give one away ever -
Quote:The WW is a server of it's own I believe, probably mounted in the US already so I doubt it.Originally Posted by zachary_EU
I hope that horrible WW lag ends now.
Although maybe with our servers there too it will help the connection between them. I have no idea how that works.

Naked, is he still effective?
Yes - Why?
- Born different : Mutation
- Training : Natural
- BioAlterations : Science
- Mechanical alterations : Tech
- Mystical knowledge : Magic
Of course, it's easy to have a mix, you need to just pick the main one (usually down to the primary powers, hence Batman being natural. He mostly uses his martial arts.)
No - Where do the powers come from?
- Normal weapons (sword etc) : Natural
- Advanced weapons : Tech
- Mystical artifact : Magic
- Temporary experiments : Science
- Born different : Mutation

Quote:Something to bear in mind, as you get a 3rd slot you could build that to take advantage of the incarnate ability freeing up slots you currently have recharge powers in (whether for sets or just recharge enhs) to use for something else. I feel it won't be untill we start building with the Alpha Slot in mid that we will really know which works best.Originally Posted by Dr_Mechano
Hmm nothing really there for the one I actually intend to take Incarnate, my Invuln/SS tanker.

Quote:Umm, IO's are optional, not enhancements in general. They have been in the game from the start and the game is balanced around you having them. Try it with fully slotted SO's and you'll be fine.Originally Posted by Psychic Guardian
People say the same thing about the enhancement system we have now, but how many times have you run a mission at lv50 (enemies being anything) with your enhancement screen 100% empty and landed a hit, had it do noticeable damage, or kept from endcrashing
lol?
I've seen a lot of people say this, but my old laptop worked better after UM came than it did before. Dunno why.Quote:Originally Posted by Psychic Guardian
They also said the same thing of Ultra Mode, saying everything was optional and could be turned off, but for non-supercomputers at the end of the day it still raised the requirements enough to be noticeable.
Most people were defending Posi, or making the standard jokes with him. Only 1 person was actually attacking him.Quote:Originally Posted by Psychic Guardian
The point being 5 pages of attacks over nothing is what pushes the devs into hiding, and then we are upset we don't hear from them enough -
Quote:It won't. From what I have read that Lag is nothing to do with the connections rather with the calculations due to one of the powers (phalanx fighting I think) that the cimeroian traitors have on Lag Hill. The people playing US side have the same issue.Originally Posted by preachmoore
first things first.... if this move will eliminate the terrible lag we experience in ITF.... then we have a win

Quote:Given last time it was checked we were already paying more than you for less (4 servers against 10) I don't think this'll be too big a problem. It's done on other games already, why should this be any different.Originally Posted by Guffy
With the expectation of a server list merge 'any day now' - I have always suspected that if all EU and US account holders could access all of the servers then at some point someone will say - "Hang on! Seth's US account cost's less than mine per month, bla bla bla" or, what would be even worse for NCSoft is if when the exchange rate changes, as it does daily, that there a myriad of US subscribers who refuse to pay anymore on the basis that the EU based accounts were getting a better deal.
I suspect if they do merge accounts NCSoft would have to take some kind of revenue 'hit' to be consistent in price, not easy to implement in a global economy. -
Quote:Lol, that was largly what I was thinking, except with a smattering of this:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
... right. Just like how everyone transfers to Freedumb every time free transfers have been offered now.
What would happen with a list merge followed by free transfers:- Some people would move lesser-played EU alts off onto another server.
- Some people would roll new characters - both ways, to and from EU.
- Some people would say "I'm not going over there."
- Some EU players in the NA would go "Hey, I know those servers!" and roll alts THERE.
- Some of my fellow Americans would roll on Zukunft and go "lol wut spk englesh nub wut u say?"
- Some would transfer to Freedom and go "Someone just said 'lol wut spk englesh nub wut u say?' to me. Defiant, take me back!"
- Sprinkle with /ragequit and doooooooooooooooooooom posts, serve warm, feeds 6.
- Some of your fellow Americans would roll on Union and go "lol lrn 2 spel nub wut u say?"
- Some of the English would roll on Freedom and go "laugh out loud Learn to spell noob. What did you say?"

Quote:OK, better question: Why would anyone want to team with people like that anyway?Originally Posted by BrandX
Sure.
they don't like teaming with a perticular AT.
I've seen people say no to Kheldians. I've seen people say no to Stalkers. I've seen people say no to all the Melee ATs except for 1 Tank (MoSTF people).
It happens, and because this is how I the star holder wants it, is a valid arguement.
That said, I just roll with whatever.

Quote:Given Zombie Man's normal sensible statements I agree. SS's comments threw me more than anything.Originally Posted by Dante
I think that what Zombie Man means is that we would have a merged server list which is desirable. However a week of free server transfers straight after such a list merge would kill the EU servers in a mass migration to NA servers.
Instead it would be better if no server transfers were offered, thereby encouraging NA players to roll up on the former EU servers and the EU players a chance to try out all of the NA servers. My altisis would certainly go into overdrive for a short period. But yeah, agree on the transfers although I wouldn't transfer any off as I have my friends and my SG there. I would hope we have some of the old EU players come home.
-
Quote:Are you implying we have a week of free transfers to move off our server to a NA one and then we lose them? Or that the EU servers are permanently added to the NA list?Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Rather than 'merge', they could just put them in the list of servers available to all and give everyone a week of free server transfers.
Cos the former is a terrible idea and the later is exactly what we want. -
Whoop whoop, good start. Lets hope it gets better with a list merge in the future.

Quote:Ahhh, your grasp of market mechanics is flawed... HIGHEST bid is fill first. If I bid at 1.1 Bill and someone else bids at 1.3 Bill their bid will fill first if someone lists at 1.1 Bill, 1.0 bill or any other amount below their bid.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
okay, for high priced / rare items you only need to bid a few times. a 100 billion war chest would easily accomplish this. a bid for 1 billion, 1.1 billion 1.2 billion,.... even some at half a bill, why not.
the theory is most people will price the one they get at 1.9 bill, or 1.5 bill for fast sells. You buy those (1st bid at any price is 1st filled) and relist it at 2 bill. Anybody trying to bid 1.5 bill, or 1.9 bill, has to wait for all of your 1.5 bill, or 1.9 bill bids to fill first. If they are building for a toon they will probably get impatient and bid the 2 bill. Kaching. (this kaching thing = the sound a cash register makes in old movies) So, you have effectively cornered the market and are making money off every one of these items that move. As far as where do I get a 100 billion, well, some of these crusty old marketeers have that and lots more. And once they have that much they corner market after market after market. Niches, that is what they are called in the marketeer parlance. (I included the selling information above as a bonus. Thanks for playing)
But nice try.
