Sounds like a network issue to me; are we just talking RV or other zones as well? Unless it just happens that that mapserver is having issues it all points to high latency or high packet loss between you and the CoH servers.

I've noticed this in the last couple of weeks every time I use my WS self-rez everyone just stands there doing nothing for 15 seconds unless I attack them.

Playing as a bubbler is fun to me, I just want to know why I dont see many bubbler "Defenders" anymore, I usually see more bubblers as a secondary on controllers or MM's it seems, but not as a defender. Didn't know if anything changed over the years when I was out. Didn't know if bubbles got nerfed or something.
What would blend well with a secondary to bubbles? -
Massive thanks to Kallandra for arranging everything this weekend, was great fun, met some lovely people and it's the first time I've won a competition by defecating in public.
Eagerly awaiting next years...
Edit: And apologies to Dante for the fashion faux pas

The issue appears to lie here:
2011-09-04 07:34:13.8655 : 7 : Info : Unrar: Extracting C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSoft\City Of Heroes (EU)\~PS\P\CityOfHeroes_Main_0.0.0.0To2050.2011071 31807.1.0\ProductFiles\piggs\texVEnemies.pigg
2011-09-04 07:34:19.0915 : 7 : Info : Unrar (stderr): CityOfHeroes_Main_0.0.0.0To2050.201107131807.1.0\P roductFiles\piggs\texVEnemies.pigg - CRC failed
Which suggests that the downloaded copy of that file has a mismatch with the checksum it's expecting. I would have assumed that it would then try and redownload it automatically, is that what happens?
If not, then try deleting that file from the path above and then re-running the launcher. If so, then it looks like something (maybe anti-virus or some other scanning/filtering software between you and the patch server) is corrupting the download. -

And the SSTF1 completed.

Would not do again. Still a good laugh. -
Ugh, I seem to have all the symptoms of a hangover this morning without having actually drunk anything last night, this is deeply upsetting.

I've always felt that something like this: http://cdn1.gamepro.com/blogfaction/...img_100935.jpg would be a good way to "open" the game as a login screen backdrop.

A lot of them are pre-launch character that either don't exist or were modified to become existing characters.

Hey, you just have to be there...
Think about Kallandra!

I'm so glad that next week is my last week of work and thus people won't be expecting too much of me, because I imagine I'm going to be utterly wrecked by Monday morning.

Quote:Yes, all shield buff sets got the AoE casting goodness.Originally Posted by Breth
Oooop, did i miss something here? Please tell me Thermal was one of these sets that can apply it's shields with an AoE. I'd given up on my Thugs/ Thermal MM because i got so bored of casting all the time, if it's doable with an aura i might take him up again.

Quote:Then I shall bring my pickaxe.Originally Posted by Gangrel_EU
Pfft, the more the merrier i say. Only used the term "unofficial" because its happening before the player meet, and so is more of an ice breaker event...
I don't actually have a pickaxe -
Quote:Despite the disconcerting connotations of "unofficial stuff", I will be around Friday afternoon/evening, but if you'd rather be left in the pub on your own then that's fine...Originally Posted by Gangrel_EU
Just as a small update...
Kall and I should be in Birmingham from *around* 2/3pm... that gives us enough time to wander around and double check stuff.
Which leaves the early evening free for "unofficial stuff" to happen.
If you are getting there friday afternoon/evening time and fancy meeting up at all, drop me a PM with a contact number (that you will have access to on friday), and something will be arranged as a meet up.
If no-one replies, i shall just be located in a random pub drowning my sorrows.... -
Depending on your powersets I would recommend waiting a few weeks until i21 goes live.
Of course, it's very likely we'll all get freespecs with i21 and only a few powersets are getting major changes, so if you've got outstanding freespecs you might want to make use of them straight away so as to get another one with i21. -
Hmmm, effectively no significant packet loss and latency is pretty normal. Have you noticed issues with anything else internet-related during the same time period as the CoX issues? Also, have you noticed it happening at specific times or is it 24/7?

For some reason, over the last two days, the slash command /netgraph 1 has shown a lot of red bars. Usually it's just a green trickle.
What are the usual things that cause this? It's making the game hard to play.
A pathping as per the bottom half of this post will give some indication as to whether or not this is the issue and if so where the problem lies. -
I suspect it would require a dramatic reworking of the existing power and movement animations.

.Just because there is a perl script that does the functions of the launcher does not mean that I'm going to stop reminding Paragon Studios / NCSoft just how castrophically bad an idea it is to use .NET for any kind of production product.
Don't get me wrong, the choice of .NET here is *stupid* given that they have official support for OSX and a known Linux userbase, but the choice of .NET is not globally a bad idea if your application is purely targeted at the Windows desktop platform and you want to make use of its functionality.
Not a .NET developer, though I am a heavy Powershell user, I just don't have an inherent problem with Microsoft's products just because they're from Microsoft. -

The problem is, when I do that, I get only one server to select, "UNNAMED".
Edit: Obviously replace euCOH with COH if you haven't got the EU flavour installed. -

It's OK to be new and totally OK to ask questions. If you don't know or understand something, ask for clarification. We don't berate players for being new; everyone was new at some point!
Note that the above is in no way an attempt to excuse my own asking of stupid questions having played for 7 years... -

Once you level up to 20 you'll get a New Contact alert pop up; speaking to that contact starts the arc that allows you to leave Praetoria.

Bottomline instead of getting a tight 6 or 8 episode miniseries we got 17 semi-sloppy episodes where only maybe half of them were worthwhile. Hopefully the next BSG spin-off series won't suffer the same fate.
