Happy Gorilla Free Birthday!

For anyone interested in seeing the original of this screenshot, I'll include the link here.

Hope you folks like it!

Hi Baba.

Be good.

And for the record, I can't have anyone publicly proclaiming they are in Closed Beta so as long as this thread is up...

In the proud tradition of Official Server Threads, I present you with the Official Champion Drama thread.

I understand you folks have a need to discuss certain very dramatic events and situations which have taken place on the Champion server. I completely sympathize, and think it's better to have an official thread rather than a collection of individual threads where the conversation gets lost.

Please note that once an official thread is created, it is the only suitable place for discussion of the topics mentioned as per the Message Forum Rules and Guidelines, so please confine your discussion on the following topics to this thread (and only this thread).

• Extremely efficient prestige earning super groups
• Global channel rivalry/drama
• The diabolical nature of evil penguin overlords
• Past behavior by certain Villains residing in the rogue isles
• The effectiveness of Yo-Yo's for a melee combatant
• The personal appearance or real life situation of other players
• Gas stations in Sacramento California
• Popcorn related delivery vehicles

This list isn't exhaustive, and we may add to it from time to time.

Thank you very much, we appreciate you co-operation.

Zombie!

So lets go over what can and cannot be said:

The video was posted to a location that was not properly private. (Can say)

The video is gone now and will be back in the future. (Can say)

The video has details. (Can't say)

I have had to moderate this thread. (Can't say)

Please folks, it's a holiday weekend. I already have to work all 3 days of it, I'd appreciate it if we can help me out a bit and let this one go.

Thanks,

This is all literally non constructive. Please follow a literal interpretation of the rules, and literally stop discussing this.

I'm literally smiling btw, so don't take life so seriously. Literally.

Please don't buy infamy, it makes me sad.

So here is the procedure:

1. Plan an event
2. Send a mail to myself (preferably on theOcho) or Avatea explaining the event and requesting titles to support the event quite a bit of time in advance. The more people you involve and the better an event, the easier it is to get the necessary approvals.
3. ????
4. Profit (Get gold titles at said event)

They do expire in time, but in between there is golden titley goodness!

Necroposting is a common tactic for trolling, I'd explain more but I prefer not to give trolling lessons to anyone who is interested. Let's just say that I am all for a software solution that auto locks threads after a certain length of time has passed without a reply. Until I get around to that, I just manually lock them.

Fred's steak is so addictive, I'm pretty sure any attempt to reverse engineer it should include nicotine.

All is well that ends well. This spirit is now at rest, and I will send it back to its grave.

Although I've been mildly following the back and forth in the recent election, I am not knowledgeable enough to truly follow your folks conversation.

It is definitely politics though.

Megumi is a cool guy. Petition threads however aren't cool. So if you appreciate someone don't be afraid to show it, but don't petition to show it.

Thanks,

Please send a /bug report in game if you haven't. I'll go ahead and mention this internally as well.

Having worked in desktop support for a number of companies, let me say that in my personal experience logic and computer problems are very rarely connected.

Given what I know of the situation, which is very little, I can understand the OP's frustration. However without seeing all the information available to both parties, and hearing recordings of the interactions between the two I can't comment too much. I'm sorry we didn't perform to your expectations in this instance, and hopefully we will do a better job in the future.

Let me share a little story from my own personal life that might shed some light on this process.

I used to, like most folks during that time, connect to the internet via dial up connection. Every day, my connection would be fine until roughly a certain time of night when on an internal hop in my isp (according to tracert) I would start experiencing 70-90% packet loss.

At the time I was working as a webmaster for a very large company whose websites received upwards of 1.5 million discrete visitors a day. I was pretty savvy about tech issues, and figured this had to be a problem internal to the ISP. I mean it didn't turn up on the first hop, happened regularly, and I got back consistent results that suggested to me it was a specific problem on their end.

Of course every time I talked to support, they couldn't find a trace of problem on their end. I knew it was them because it was always the same hop that had the problem, always at the same time, and I hadn't changed anything. I went through all the diagnostics on my end, used different machines, etc. and it kept happening.

After about a month I just stopped using the computer during those times, because I pretty much was only interested in online gaming at that period and it just wasn't viable.

Months later I decided to use my data line for a voice conversation for some reason or other, and it happened to be in the same time period in which I would experience the huge packet loss. Turns out I could hear my neighbor conversing with her elderly father on her phone clearly during this time frame (which she evidently did every day at the same time). It seems that her phone line and mine had become wrapped and there was some conductivity between the lines blending our signals.

I still don't know why this didn't cause other problems that I didn't experience, or why tracert always showed the packet loss as coming only during the 2nd hop. It doesn't make sense to me, probably never will. I called the phone company and got the problem addressed.

I'm not saying this was the OP's fault at all, what I am trying to suggest is with so many interacting parts, isolating the exact problem can be the most maddeningly frustrating experience both with for the user and the person trying to support them. I'm never satisfied that we did the best we could, but I do ask for patience because we are trying to do our best.

If folks ever have a problematic interaction, I always support users communicating that back to us. Without feedback we can't continue to improve our processes. The forums of the game probably aren't the best area to do so however, so I'll go ahead and lock this thread.

Thanks,

Very limited crossposting, with links can be allowed in cases where it makes sense. That is one cross post with a link back to the original thread where discussion takes place. This seems to fulfill that criteria.

There are no plans for retiring CoH. This game is still very robust and vibrant, and we're all very excited to be continuing its development.

As the Anniversary title stated, 6 years and going strong.

Sorry, but no zombie summoning on my watch. Start a new thread and link to this one please

Don't worry about it too much. If you report, the thread is read before any action is taken. Many reports come in about threads which aren't in violation. Other threads escape report even though they are in violation. When in doubt report and leave it to our discretion, it helps keep the forums a more productive venue for discussion.

Thanks,
