Gaia

Found this out fairly early - you can easily pull the Cadavers and abominations but try to pull a Mortificator or Reaper and it is almost certain it will bring the rest of the group along.
Watch out for Eidolons though as their Dark powers will apply a nasty -ToHit debuff.
The actual damage from the Abominations doesn't really seem to be all that high but it is Toxic which is very poorly resisted and not defended against at that level, in addition it applies a long duration DoT (very easy to die to multiple hits from this) and I believe -Def.
Can't say I've ever had any trouble holding any of them or immobing them, admittedly most characters I have that use immob will stack it quickly.
Also worth remembering is that the Embalmed self destrust is readily interrupted - any damage will do so. It can also be used to take out the rest of the group even without confuse if you can run when it starts the animation.

I tend to prefer wormhole to TP foe for that but its much rarer to find someone with it - It doesn't need a target which is a big help with getting the mob out of the wall on those occassions where you cannot target it.

The extra Rommys were still appearing on Sunday night.

Reread it yourself.

Where does he mention anything about level shifts or zoning. The reason it is more prevalent on trials is because of the amount of objects and effects requiring to be rendered. The issues with league teams reforming on zoning while still a problem is an entirely different issue.

always been possible if the change is purely serverside

There are some issues with leages and zoning but that isn't anything to do with the OPs problem

Lots of conjecture with very little basis here being expressed as fact . The problems with the teams switching on zoning are because they get recreated as people zone in. I'd agree its not the best implementation but again irrelevant to the OPs issue.
Your comments about level shifts makes very little sense and is again irrelevant to the OPs issue.

Sort of!
If your network connection results in dropped packets you will get rubberbanding as the clients display is updated with the servers locations of all objects.
If there is an extended period where the client fails to receive response from the server you will get a Lost Connection to Map Server message - if that continues for more than a few seconds the client will disconnect you from the server and drop you back to the character selection screen. However it takes considerably longer for the server to recognise that the connection is lost and so when you log back in you get a message that you are still logged in.

I can't see NCSoft rewriting the code for the network nodes and I would predict even less chance that the internet backbone providers and ISPs would implement it even if they did.
They may be able to update the routing tables on their edge servers to avoid nodes with high packet loss but even then there is no guarantee that alternative routings are better or even possible.

That the OP is using a (semi) public WiFi connection will almost certainly mean a poorer connection than a wired connection due to lower connection speeds and higher contention. This may result in higher 'lag' and rubberbanding but shouldn't mean crashes.

The other thing woth checking is your graphics drivers

did you do any damage to anything in the mob including the possesssed (damage aggro) or did the posessed kill anything else in the mob (death aggro)?

Synthetic Hamidon Origin Enhancement

I think the only time I've seen it was when discussing what to call them

You might want to also look at some of the other servers as the previously West coast servers are primarily populated by US west coast players - so 3 hours behind and the previously EU servers by players in Europe - 4-6 hours ahead. As a result the peak populations on those will be at different times.

In particular some anti virus programs may came up with a false positive for a keylogger.
Whilst we are talking about AV programs - anything detected when you do a full scan?
Things that will survive a reboot - anything installed to run at startup or program launch, incorrect settings, missing components.
Also yes potentially the Chinese input method may be the problem - is this a third party software or is it part of a Chinese version of Windows? Are you able to disable it or uninstall it to test that hypothesis?

Sounds like the servers may have been taken down for emergency maintenance - maybe just a reboot if they have come back up quickly.

or ungenießbar

or something else is intercepting the keypresses before CoH can see them.

I've seen similar with Teamspeak or Vent in the past when using PTT - can't remember which where it gained focus and so all the keystrokes were sent there instead. Clicking the CoH window to regain focus allowed keybinds to be recognised again.
This would apply to other applications where the keyboard is intercepted and for some reason it is failing to forward the untrapped events.

Could also be keyboard or mouse drivers where keyboard macros are set up - wouldn't really expect that to affect every key though.

You will still need the .NET 2 framework as well if you have any applications which target it - iirc that includes the NCSoft launcher.
Again if you have any which target framework 1 or 4 you will also need those installed.

They are seperate frameworks and applications will generally target one specific one

No WINDOWS is using system resources in a way that you fail to understand

That would be because you ARE pushing the limits of the system
- just because your car still has lots of empty seats - a resource
and lots of free bootspace - another resource
don't expect to go very far when you run out of petrol - yet another resource
similarly with software if it runs out of any resource whether that is System memory, free handles, environment space, tesselation units,or any of several hundred other things then performance will be affected.

This is another example of you totally failing to understand how networks work.
Just because one node in the network gets swamped with network requests does not mean there is a problem with the game software at either NCSoft's or your end.
If you were to catch a train from Station A to Station B but someone chops a tree down and that blocks the line at bridge C does not mean the software issuing you with a ticket at Station A has anything to do with you being late for work.
If you are consistently seeing a problem then try reporting that to the correct people - in this case that would be the network teams responsible for the equipment at both ends of the link showing the problem.
Certainly the only links I see any packet loss on is Level 3s transatlantic cable and some again with Level 3 within Dallas. Neither of which has anything to do with NCSoft. Also given that there is no reference to any nodes for Alter.net on my connectiion it would definitely indicate that they are external to NCSoft's network.

Whichever one you enjoy playing.
Simple as that - for one player that will be a fully IOd out Sheep Melee build with all incarnate slots possible available and at tier 4 for someone else that could be a brand new level 1 which will eventually have all the prestige sprints 6 slotted for end red and the only attack powers being their tier 1 and brawl.

I'd be impressed if he managed to arrange for all the "Henchmen" to self destruct when he logged

You can spawn AVs solo depending on your settings.
