Happy 07-08-09 everyone!
No useless info post (although I did look to see if there was some significance to the date and/or sequence of numbers)...

Jeez, Turg to the rescue.
Turgenev's semi-regular & mostly useless information post #175.5 - Happy 12:34:56 7/8/9 day!

Nice catch Turg...
Now if I could only go back in time so I can celebrate this monumental numerical sequence properly...

Set your clock to Pacific time.

Actually, I was thinking military time, so I would have to go back to the midnight hour.
12pm would be 13...but I guess we can fudge just a bit for this special occasion...
[/ QUOTE ] The midnight hour is 00:
13: is 1pm.
12:34pm would still be 12:34 in military time.
Personally, I can't wait until:
09:09:09 09/09/09
and then:
11:11:11 11/11/11
Ohhh. There are gonna be parties! lol
Honestly.. I forgot all about that.. and I was working at that time.
Well.. there's still 11:11:11 11/11/11.
Think we can remember? haha -
All very good points Luna. Thank you for posting this.
We've been running for about 7 months now.. (I know.. Can you believe it!? lol.).. and it's easy to loose sight of what the group is all about after all this time, especially with new members joining each week.
I can admit, I can be a pain in the rear myself. I have a sarcastic sense of humor, so I tend to accidentally offend people when somebody catches the tail end of a conversation or when somebody new doesn't understand what's actually going on. It's not intentional, and I'm sorry. Please don't take it personally. I've been trying to work on that, but if somebody does have a problem with something I said, I would hope they'd come to me personally so we can deal with it. All I want is for everybody to get along and have fun!
I also want to draw a little attention to the Freedom Horde Social Group!
Freedom Horde Social Group
This Social Group area on the forum is designed to be a place to archive our events. It makes it easy to quickly find out what events are upcoming, and to find previous event threads in case we want to look back on something that happened before or compare result times / team roster, etc.
Everybody is free to join the Social Group, even if they are not "regulars" on our weekly runs, and posting freely is enabled... but I'll turn it off if I have to! We're trying to limit the posting to only linking to our events' sign up threads. Use the linked threads to sign up for events and to let us know what's going on. PLEASE try NOT to use the Social Group for general chat. It'll push our current event posts off the main page, and defeat the purpose of having them there.
Joining a group will display that group at the top of the list each time you visit the Social Group area of the forums for easy access. If you want to direct a friend to the social group area, you can now use a short and easy to remember URL to post the link within the game chat: http://tinyurl.com/FreedomHorde
For general chat, please use our global channel: "Freedom TF Chat"
This channel was designed to help organize what's going on during events so we didn't have to use /local /broadcast or /tell. I know that many new people have stumbled upon it by accident, and use it for picking up random TFs, and that's fine. We encourage anybody to run their own groups, and many of us are usually up for anything at any given time. Our upcoming events are listed in the MOTD so they are easy to keep track of as well.
I hope everybody is having a great time with us so far! I love scheduled events, and am glad I can be a part of this. Special Thanks and credit always goes to Luna for her hard work organizing the large group each Monday! I don't know how she does it. I get myself turned around when my events get to 2 teams.. but she manages to deal with 3 to 4 groups each week now! I'm more than happy to be a permanent team leader and am always thankful we have her to manage the groups ahead of time. She does a wonderful job!
I also want to recognize and thank MrE-Man for organizing the "Master of" events (even before the "Horde" was born). He's never particular about who joins or what they bring. We find a way to make it work and we've had a blast earning the badges on several characters, even when we think the team had no chance from the beginning.. and even when we fail, we learn from our mistake, and try again the next time. It's always a pleasure to be part of his groups as well. It's always a success (whether we get a badge or not)! -

Quote:It doesn't do this on my Quad. Depending on what I am doing, I might have 2 cores at around 5-10% load, and the 2 cores the game is using are at around 85% for one, and 40% for the other.Doc is right, that *IS* the nature of this game. Its going to stand your CPU full bore open. Its going to do it whether you have a single core P4 or a high end dual core (maybe a quad too for all I know). Its not your pc, its the game, and its not particularly a problem assuming you have a pc with adaquate airflow and minimal dustbunnies.

I've seen a large number glitch every once in a while in the past. I don't know why. I would have liked being able to set it to the large number on purpose permanently... and now it has become the norm! The only problem I see is that the number isn't as large as the glitched one I used to see. lol

Quote:What it's saying is that you have paid for 4 years 11 months, and earned the rest of the Veterans time through free trial, and time added by Retail purchases or referring friends.Isn't that what it says?
i've paid for 4 years 11 months and played for 5 years and 1 month.
Like Roderick said, the account info shows you your current Veteran's Time EARNED. The date you actually get the reward in-game is listed below.
You wont have actually PLAYED for 5 years until Oct 12, 2009 and you wont get the rewards in-game until some time on that date.
As another example:
I'm on an annual+2 subscription and prepaid until March of 2010, which brings me to a Veteran Reward status of 45 months, but I am currently only up to 39 in-game. -
Quote:You could always pre-order when it becomes available, and you'll get in as well.I'm willing to put money down that the automated system that will grant closed beta access will NOT grant you beta status. However, we have AWESOME community service reps here. Do what Bill recommended, and they may be able to help you out.
Also remember that there are other ways to get into Betas, including being lucky enough to be randomly selected. Never despair!
I'd still /petition so you can try to get the Loyalty badges though. -
I left a toon in Midnighter's Club after running an ITF last night. He didn't get stuck in any way. I'll keep an eye out for it though.

Globals are down. They probably can't speak to you.
That sucks. I wouldn't be standing around though. I'd go to bed and reply to their e-mail tomorrow. -
Quote:Yep. I play on Freedom and Global has been crazy for me too. My channels are all named gibberish as well. I'll wait for the Global Server to straighten itself out before attempting to go back in and have conversation. lolOh gawd... I just made the mistake of trying to play on freedom, and it is just horrible.
First of all, global lists have vanished into *poof* thin air...
I either have no global friends list at all, or when it does re-appear, I am missing two-thirds of my friends.
I also have a lot of junk in my global list, like channels that I have never been a member of, and bizarre naming conventions for those channels.
It also went and renamed my global friends list to this:
Seriously now, GlobP'Oiend'PRGlobPRiend@NrTGlobalIgnoreTab. WTF?
The second issue, is the horrible amount of chat lag.
That is, you type into chat/tell/channel, 5-10 seconds later, what you typed finally appears. I am not the only player experiencing this, those on my global that I managed to talk to, were experiencing the exact same problem.
And final issue, is server lag. Check out my yellow bar of lag-doom.
Never seen that sort of craziness before.
How do we make support aware of such issues over the weekend?
Seriously this has made the game almost unplayable for me.
(I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Global rename after this)

Many peope are. Yes.
Global servers are screwing up, and mission load times are ridiculous.
It'll eventually load. You just have to have uber-patience. (Took me 13 minutes for one.)
If you are on a team, everybody on the team is affected as well. Your client didn't crash. You're just not getting the "green light" from the server. Doing control-alt-delete doesn't get you into the mission any faster. -
Quote:It's not ISP.. It's definitely server-side. Everybody on the team is affected by it at the same time and finally zones into the mission at the same moment as well.Haven't seen it personally, but that doesn't rule out it being server specific, or ISP specific - I'd take a peek up in tech issues/bugs to see if anyone else has mentioned it.
10 minutes seems excessive though. Especially with it being rather *random* sounding as you make it.
By the way.. 10 minutes is not an exaggeration. I just finished an ITF (on Freedom) where the last mission took about 13 minutes to load. Some people get impatient and restart their client, but it doesn't get you in the mission any faster. It eventually gives you the "green light" and everybody loads at once. -
Quote:That's what I was talking about. Global servers are screwed up again and loading into missions is taking forever.And I might be crashing out of CoH... the loading, its not going anywhere
There is no point rebooting. It's not going to get you in any faster. You just have to have uber-patience, and everybody will finally zone all at once.
Good luck to the group. -
well I started an ITF with some folks around 9pm, thinking there was plenty of time before our Ouro team tonight..

Quote:Ouroboros Portal has always showed up on the Pet Window on Villainside... at least for me.MasterMinds, Ouroboros Portal behaves as a pet when summoned, and shows up in the pet window which causes the activation bounding box to become smaller (you have to aim right for the bottom edge or you end up selecting the portal instead of using it)
Mender Lazarus TaskForce I am currently running it SOLO, diff settings are +0/4/No AV
Thought you needed at least 3 people on your team to run it. (Have pets up. will attempt to run it again without the pets summoned after I've completed it and will update this post with the data)
I've always wondered why it would show up on Villain, but not on Hero.. but I didn't let it worry me. I never had a probem accidentally selecting it though. As long as I was within range, I'd get the Hand cursor just fine. -
The Global servers are seriously messed up. Every time they are down it seems to be causing missions not to load either.
I don't remember this behavior when Globals were offline before... and it seems kinda silly for them to be linked together. -

Look in the Tunnels, or any cave map. They may have fixed Talos and other outdoor areas.. but now the Tunnels/caves are broken the same way. (It was briefly mentioned in your other thread).
