    I have had these issues as well...tried lots of things but nothing really seemed to work well.

    Although with the latest patch (the one from 1-2 weeks ago not the 19.5 patch) seemed to help me....looks like it passed on to others though

    Not bad...finally caught up with the last 3 shows (DVR didn't record 'em for some reason :/)....

    I'll agree that it needs some more fight and a bit less drama but...overall it's still 'okay/good enough'

    If you're talking about the first Aeon cutscene (where he runs into the portal) then yes you're right.

    However the 2nd Aeon cutscene is definitely long enough to do something else. I know because I've done it before.

    Currently my PC is on the 2nd floor so I've gone downstairs, grabbed a few snacks (or eaten a few triscuits/chips/etc), got a quick drink, went to the bathroom and came back before it was done...worked for me



    Oh and while it may be nice to skip the cutscenes (or have options for players to skip them) I don't think that'd work. If 1 out of 8 people on the team had the cutscenes skipped, he'd be waiting for the other 7....or vice-versa.

    I still giggle when he says, "AAAHHH!! Shut it off! SHUT IT OFF!!!" And yes I've done the STF plenty of times.

    I'm seeing more packet loss and latency on the "internetpulse.net" than I've seen in two years of checking that site.

    No clue exactly where our servers are located, but with so much rerouting going on at the backbone level, I wouldn't be surprised that people are losing connection left and right.

    All CoH servers are located in Dallas, Texas according to the paragonwiki (all servers moved there in July 2009 (or 2010?)).

    Edit:

    Oh and I finished an STF and I know I crafted my Rare ability and so did a few other teammates. I killed a few mobs in the last mission we were in (that we didn't kill originally) and never had issues. Then I exited the mission and just logged (had to go to work).

    Hehe, I'll agree with you to a point.

    Here in VA is somewhat chaotic....one week it will be freezing cold/snowing and then the next will be in the 50s/sunny.

    The one or two months I usually 'hate' in VA is July and August because of all the humidity....ugh, some times it feels like your swimming in your own sweat just standing outside and/or in your car.

    If this is true, I just have to come on for 4 hours a week for each of my two alpha slotted characters. We'll still get shard drops too, right? They don't go away with the notices, right?

    Also, the week runs from Tuesday to Tuesday, right?

    From what I understand, yes you can only get 1 Notice of the Well once a week...no matter if you do both the STF and LRSF (in this week's case).

    Also it seems that the week goes from Tuesday to the following Monday...since the next Tuesday starts a new weekly strike target.


    Edit:

    Meaning it will take at least 4 weeks to get a very rare alpha slot. 2 for the 2 rare slots you need and then you'll need 2 Notice of the Wells to make a Favor of the Well to make the Very Rare ability.

    ^^ This.


    And this weeks Strike Target is the STF and/or the LRSF in case Dead West hasn't seen it yet.

    Next week is the all-too-popular ITF

    I'm sure it's been mentioned before in this thread (haven't read it yet) but...


    Is there any way for you guys/gals to say which TF/SF is the "Weekly Strike Target" IN the game itself?

    Again, don't know if it's been done already but....doesn't make sense why there isn't the GMOTD saying, "this weeks Strike Target is the STF or LRSF!"

    If I can get just get the MoLRSF badge I'd be happy....first have to have people wanting to do it; second, need actually debuffers and not just a team of scrappers/brutes

    Although with the lvl shifts now...it may be easier

  13. Energizing_Ion
    So...any update on that quick LGTF?

    Edit: nm haha


    2nd Edit:


    Someone should try the STF/LRSF...since I heard that was the 'strike target' on test...

    Hooollllyy coww....

    Another person from Erie, PA!

    I'm originally from Erie, PA (now in VA)....*waves to fellow PA'er*


    Edit: In fact there are only 2 others that I know that live in PA...2 are in the SG I'm in (granted I don't team/talk w/ them much because of my work schedule but....)...just interesting to see that 'co-incidence'

    I haven't had many network (according to netgraph) issues but I have had frame rate issues.

    Although lately there are two missions in the Kahn TF where everyone in the team was having major lag (like ITF "lag hill" lag).

    The latest patch actually seemed to help me a little bit on the frame rate issue(s). I've been going back and forth with NCsoft support for about a good three-four weeks trying different things

    So I was playing a little bit today on my lvl 35 (now 36) Stalker and duo'ing villain tip missions with a lvl 49 Brute. We did one mission and all was fine...he set the next mission which was the "Annihilate Portal Corp Lab" mission.

    First attempt to go into the mission and I get a mapserver disconnect message (well technically I didn't get that...just saw CoH was 'not responding' and killed it). Now this happens like once or twice a month where I'm solo'ing or whatever and try to load a mission but CoH stops responding (mapserver disconnect)...I usually kill the process, re-login and all is fine.

    So I log back in and jump back into the mission; again, CoH stops responding and I kill CoH again.

    I log back in (none of these did any 'verifying files' when logging back in) and told the teammate that if it happens again I wouldn't come back....so I click on the mission door (the door was the helicopter door in the north part of Grandville by the ocean/water.)....sure enough CoH stops responding again....this time I just ctrl+alt+delete and just surf the internet while waiting to see if waiting helps anything.

    It doesn't of course and I go back to CoH and now I see the "Mapserver disconnected" message.

    Anyone else get this type of issue/bug 1-2x a month like I do? It's usually so random I can't/haven't really /bug'ed it but today was the exception obviously since it happened 3x in a row.

    Oh and yes, my teammate was able to go into the mission just fine.


    Edit: On the Liberty server.

    I can totally picture those characters fighting off an evil robot dinosaur overlord while saying things like 'Radical' and 'Gnarly'.

    Now all they need is a catchphrase.

    Oh no....no...noooooo...now I have that darn "DIINNOO-SAAAUCERRSS!" theme song stuck in my head

    Oh, and the last time I did the arc, I made sure to Ninja Run off and leave my "helpers" behind. It's just easier that way.
    ^^ This.

    Yeah I was on my DA/DM tanker in a team doing this arc last night and got the one mission with Positron in it...yeah...he lasted 1 room I think...was aggro'ing EVERYTHING! Sheesh.

    Manticore wasn't too bad actually.

    I don't have the same bug but I have something that is somewhat similar.

    On only some of my characters I have an extra power tray (a horizontal one) that is a duplicate of tray # 1 and that extra tray is usually in the top left/top middle area....really annoying.

    It used to be on almost all of my toons but then I guess the server 'saved' me actually having that tray closed....*shrugs*

    I can offer up the Legion SG base...it has all teleporters/etc....I just couldn't participate in them unless, again, they're on Sat. nights.
