What exactly is this ncsoft launcher? Today I was able to get a game login prompt through the firewall. This is very bad, very bad!! :-) I'll probably start losing weight now because I'll be playing on my lunches.
Edit: I can get to the login and I can select a server but I get a "cannot connect to DBserver" -

So what are your plans now for your other alts?
Do you want help with those other characters to unlock the alphas too? I have two with alpha slots and that's about all I can bear. I did all 12 alpha slots on Diva Attitude(Villain) over the Christmas/New Years break. Lady Attitude(Hero) has only a few alpha slots enabled. I do not look forward to doing the 32 new slots on the Tier II level.
Also, you need to join this team weekly, http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=254738
This will help with notice & favor of the well stuff. This cannot be brute forced...you have to show up once a week.
Think about what you want to do thursday night and give your start times.
Finally, I used to play only during holidays and weekends but I'm compelled now to play more often. Shards are everything in this game. You can never have enough.
See ya later,
P.S. The cohtitan.com stuff, I don't care about the facebook stuff. I like it for the City Tracker(using sentinel) it collects my stats so I don't to remember everything. Also, it lets me post pictures of my characters. Diva is the Queen of my alts. She's the Alpha of my Alphas. Her moneyshaker outshakes all the rest combined!

http://cit.cohtitan.com/character/95136 - Lady Attitude(she was my first CoH Character)
http://cit.cohtitan.com/character/95138 - Heartless Attitude is my Goth :-)
I'm in the process of improving Lady Attitude. I hate controllers now so instead of deleting her, I'm remaking her into an Earth/Earth Dominator. She is total fun and I have high expectations for Lady Attitude 2.0(Hero Dominator)

Don't pay too much attention to the sides, Sentinel can't track side switching yet. -
Your welcome, I'm sorry I was late yesterday. I did want to help you again late last night but I was just tired. I head over to EU servers today. I'll see you next weekend if your online.

How many were there last year? It just seems like a cybercafe is too small for such an event...

Quote:I encourage you to go to a different computer and authorize. You don't need the game client installed to do this. Maybe the questions will be differnt. log in here, www.ncsoft.com.I tried what you said and it doesn't work. I've left the box blank.
No I didn't setup that as a password/challenge. Why? Because the word is clearly the hint for my password. And the only correct response to the word is my password. I am fairly certain that 7 years ago when I setup my account I did have an option to set a password hint. The problem is that the new system appears to not be handling it correctly. This is I am fairly certain a bug in the way their system is working. Probably because each of the games and game systems used different criteria for setting them up over the years.
Then go reboot your other computer and try again. Try a different browser if you insist on staying on the same computer. I have to use firefox on cohtitan for things to work correctly. -
Quote:Coh through steam is painful. I'm just telling you that now.Though it detected and runs the copy of CoH that's in my Steam folders, it doesn't show up that I'm playing in Steam, nor does any of the other integration via Steam work.
Can we get a version of the launcher released through Steam? Or at least push off mandatory use of the launcher until after SW:tOR launches? -
Quote:Are you using the GR complete disc or the original original City of heroes?Update:
ok, its definetly something with my laptop. running a dell Vostro 1500, winXP home OS, and loaded the game off the original discs after uninstalling every prior aspect of the game and new launcher. made shortcuts for test and beta servers and let all three run updates to get up to speed. opened all the game versions to make sure the system was stable and without flaws running with the new launcher. closed everything down. went and dled the launcher.
nope. same problems as always. launching the launcher cause it to see the nclauncher.exe as locked. from there, everything goes right into the toilet. so, im back to square 1 with this. not sure why the launcher works on my HP desktop but not my Dell laptop. did the exact same method with the laptop today that i did with the desktop yesterday to get it to work. so... i dont even know. what could the problem be? any ideas? -
Quote:I just told you what I did yesterday to successfully be authorized. Key in your birthdate and the captca and hit verify/enter. Is NCSOFT paying you to be a bug tester? You set up the password challenge answer/box, if you can't remember it...then you don't get authorized.What part of there is no valid question don't you get?
The stupid thing is asking me A WORD. The only valid answer to the thing is my password. What part of it being A SINGLE WORD are you not understanding?
It is not asking me a question. I'm fairly certain this is a bug because what it is displaying as a question is clearly my password hint from 7 years ago. -
Quote:I state my prior reply, Answer the question(s) in front of you if you want to play the game, Girl Genius...No as noted I have one more line than you do.
I have the line with A WORD and A BOX above the birthdate line.
The problem is that the word is obviously my password hint. It is not a question. So far leaving the box blank and putting the word in it haven't worked. I wonder if maybe I should just type Password Hint in the box? Anyway it clearly is my password hint and not a security question.
The problem I think is that the hint is stored with my security info and the script they are using to generate the check is grabbing it out of the file and then getting confused by it. I.E. this is a bug with their new system not meshing with something they did 7 years ago.
Note:
Just to be clear when I say it is my hint I mean like this. If the word was Tree, and it isn't my password might be something like Silmarillion. which is a tree. And for the record my password isn't that simple but the word still works as a mnemonic to determine what it is. And the word isn't tree. -
Quote:I did this yesterday and it worked. This is what you got right?You are not understanding me. There is no security question. I am serious about this essentially I have this.
Tree - Box to type answer into. [and no tree isn't the word]
Birthdate - Boxes to answer in.
Captcha.
It isn't asking me a question. The "Tree" question above would be the correct word to be my password hint. The problem is that the only correct response to "Tree" is my password. Not anything else. Thus the part above where I mention that they must have once had it setup to prompt for a real Password Hint and not one of the fake security questions.

Hit verify (below) after you key in the answer -
Quote:The logic failure is that you didn't authorize before you did the reset. You have to contact NCSOFT now.I was curious and I tried this (I to recieved the one-time link to reset my account after being locked out) and also on my laptop (diff location) and in both instances it worked without a hitch. Not sure why this is working for some and not others but I've had my indifferences with support but with this (account security) it seems spot on.

Quote:Read the question and answer the security question in front of you if you want to play the game, youngling. Your making this way too hard. Select the corrrect date from the dropdown menus and hit "enter." Can you remember your birthday? If not, go ask the cardholder.I've spotted a different problem with all of this. In addition to the really bad security change.
It appears that 7 years ago you could enter a Password Hint that I suppose would be sent to you or prompt you for use or something. It wasn't the list of standard questions but just a hint.
I know this because just now when I tried to login the thing gave me a Password hint, my birthdate, and a captcha.
The problem is that the Hint is on the left side and is clearly just that the mnemonic hint to trigger memory of my password. I.E. THERE IS NO CORRECT RESPONSE TO IT BECAUSE THE STUPID THING ISN'T ASKING ME A QUESTION!
Grrrr.
I could probably guess the answer to most things except maybe pet, 7 years ago I can't remember what I might have used, I've changed my standard answer to that question since. What you answer those questions truthfully? What is wrong with you? I have a standard list of false answers I use for those stupid false security questions.
So anyway if your account is old enough you could be screwed on this. -
This is more like an SG meet not a EU Players Meet. You should rename this the local UK Players meet.
Honestly, you might be better off meeting in a Marriott or something. This event will blow that poor local cybercafe out of the water. -
Quote:You dynamic address is not so dynamic. Carriers assign "blocks" to each region so they can track better. NCSOFT filters on blocks not specific IP addresses. The security will become valuable when someone hacks your accounts and tries be you/or the card owner.This is pointless, in no way "secure", and simply stupid. It doesn't increase the security, it's simply a huge pain in the rear everytime I want to log into my master account. I made this account over 5 years ago, and I've no idea what information is entered in there or what security answers are there. I had to bat with the support back and forth for 5 days to finally get my account unlocked.
Their requests to unlock your account for you are simply ridiculous. They're assuming that in all these years I"m still using the same e-mail and the same credit card. Even if I still am using the same e-mail, I'm not going to be keeping e-mails from all that long ago....Just, lol.
Plus, I'm on a DSL connection that provides a Dynamic IP address. Which means everytime I connect I get a different IP address. Which means...everytime I want to log in my master account I have to re-verify myself because I'm using a different IP address. Which makes this whole thing even more ridiculous.
No, just no. Take this back, I was happy that way it was. "More security" yeah...right. This is just "more pain in the butt".
I hate to say this but make your challenge questions something you can answer. I put mine in all lower case so I'm not having to be "perfect" 10 years later. I feel bad for people who have someone else paying for their accounts but I don't have a solution....maybe go talk to "Big Papa?" I'd rather this than to have to buy a stupid sync token. -
Reading about your problems with the new security is interesting without a doubt! Some of you guys are in some tough situations. My challenge questions were my birthday on both my EU and NA accounts. Are you getting questions other than that?
I have to agree that they should have announced this in advance. This game is rate T for Teen, how many of the userbase are using someone else's credit cards? The long term ramifications for this are horrible. Basically if you started an account in your early youth and then and you "grow up, " you'll have to start another account from scratch again. This blows.
I guess if they roll it back, then too many are using someone else's :-) Let's cross our fingers! -
I'm sorry you guys are having problems but the launcher worked straight out of the gate for me. I'm getting download speeds for updates that I haven't seen since I first joined the game. I'm so happy.

My work has stepped up noticeably this week too. I'll be there but this may be the only time I play this weekend. Diva Attitude

questions are good. I'm looking forward to your results. I really appreciate you doing this. What's your handle. I'll email you some of things before I go, ok for doing this?
-
What type am I? Could you elaborate on this? If the forums felt I was a real problem I would not be posting now. Get that clear, ok?
