    Don't think for a moment that you deserve the time it took to create that. You are not unique. You are not clever. You have not given the subject any thought.
    This level of hostility is really uncalled for. Elitist *** hattery never helps anyone.

    If you want to kit out all your characters they're hard to get, yes, if just a few it's quite manageble. I got the resources to equip 1 or 2 chars with purples without even trying but personally I don't bother with either, not worth the cost imo.

    Yes.

    if they could do a merge properly, it would be awesome, otherwise too much wasted effort to feel happy about starting afresh
    Yes.

    as it is the option is that, or stay in the ghost town. both make a sucky game so no reason to subscribe.
    Yes. The difference being that to me the EU servers haven't reached the 'ghost town' status yet. Still plenty to do. Although there's no denying the decay.

    The point of your post somehow escaped me ...

    I was referring to a server list merge. Nobody loses anything except a Global Name if it happened to exist across the pond. Something I would be all in favor for to be clear.

    It made me smile when I read it, if that helps any.

    Nope, that's all I got.

    I got the same gut feeling. If GR comes out i'll never roll a defender again. And I only have one not deleted defender left at the moment I'll take the higher base damage, over superior (de)buff values anytime.
    The 2 AT's are really well balanced against each other imo. It all comes down to personal preference.
  8. Nope, no official word.

    My best guess is that they'll bring it back up again when they release the current test patch to live, which will hopefully be tomorrow.

    4. Stop the Atlas Park heist.
    5. Enjoy your new low-level travel power for the next 13 levels.


    Alternative steps if you don't actually like playing the game:

    1. Create new character and choose Atlas Park as your starting zone.
    2. Go to Rikti War Zone, available through Atlas Park.
    3. Go back through the portal you just came out of, heading to Perigrine Island.
    4. Swim around Perigrine Island to Portal Corps. Sneak around until you get inside the middle building (or ask a friendly hero in zone to TP you).
    5. Go to Firebase Zulu.
    6. Log off for 21 days.
    7. Log back on. You have a badge and about 25 in-game minutes of flight. Get more minutes by logging off in Firebase Zulu.
    Or

    5. Go to Firebase Zulu.
    6. ask someone to email you 10k inf, or mail it to yourself from another character.
    7. Buy raptorpack.

    You're overreacting a wee bit. You make it sound like there's absolutly nothing to do or noone to play with. I still run PuG SF's and teams every week, and sometimes everyday. Are there fewer people on the EU servers? Definatly. But it's not exactly a ghost town either. Not yet anyway.
  12. Yea, I realize this. I wasn't being entirely serious.
  13. I mule them over to characters I'm not playing atm. Or I craft them if I have the salvage handy and stick it in my SG base.

    Figures that on the one weekend I have loads of game time the market goes off line
  14. All European residents playing an the NA servers should be forced back to the EU servers by NCSoft. That'd solve our population problems.

    No? Bad idea?
    *sigh* I can dream right?

    Anyway, I'm not leaving the Eu servers. I still have friends here and a semi-active SG I can run SF's with. I'm not starting all my 30+ characters again, nor the several billions of inf I've amassed over the years or my SG base.

    If it comes to the point that they close the Eu servers due to underpopulation or whatever and I'm not getting a full account transfer to the US servers (I'm willing to compromise on the SG base, a prestige grant for a new one would be nice though), I'm simply gone. That's not to mention that I have a much worse connection to the US servers than I have to the Eu ones.
  15. Meh, boring Italian style anti-football.

    Now I have to support for a German team of all things ...
  16. No word as far as I know. Make sure to /bug it in game though.
  17. TrueMetal

    Boss_displayname

    Yea, this happens. I personally /bug it everytime I encounter it, but it's obviously way down on the priority list.
  18. This thread demonstrates why I could never do a job that involves me interacting with 'customers' in any way shape or form. I'd end up in jail.

    What's with all the Mo-badge hate? Don't like it, don't do it. Simple no?
  20. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post these transscripts, TonyV! It's appreciated.

    Sets that got 'nerfed' that I can remember since I9:
    Energy melee
    Psionic shockwave from dominators psi assault, the rest of the set got buffed, still an overall aoe dps loss.
    The 'nerf' to the to good to be true BotZ IO set. That isn't relevant to 90% of the playerbase because they didn't use it anyway.

    Sets that got buffed:
    Archery
    Martial arts
    mace
    invulnerability
    dark melee
    Energy Aura
    Electric Armor
    katana
    all dominator secondaries except psi
    The complete blaster AT
    The complete stalker AT
    The complete dominator AT
    Defender inherent
    Heck ,even Rage got a functionality 'buff' when they removed the 'cannot affect others' effect from the crash.

    I'm sure I'm forgetting some from both lists, since I'm going from memory, but I'm starting to see a trend here.
    I don't count tweaks and rebalances on new powersets in the first few patches after their release. I also don't count bug and exploit fixes.
    I'm really not seeing all the countless nerves done to this game in last few years, but that might be just me.

    sure gr is coming out. but i think its alittle too late to be the "saving grace" if you will..

    frankly just finally merging servers would be a better start to helping this game and i know alot of you wont like that but lifes tough and so is a game not making as much money anymore.it is after all a buisness first ,game 2nd
    Too many nerfs to count? You should go play more games. How many did we have this issue? 1 overpowered enhancement set got tweaked, any others I missed?

    Issue 17 lagfest

    we are all playing the waiting game for fixes at this point...your gonna have to be one of them waiting as well.
    If they had waited till Ultra Mode ran smooth on every possible configuration before releasing I17, we'd have to wait for months, if not years.

    That being said, CoH does have some optimisation issues, it always had them though, they weren't introduced with UM.

    This. And it is not just limited to this game, the same goes for every update for everyone MMO or online game I've ever played ... So, meh.

    UM is causing some problems for some configurations (got some minor glitches myself), but overall this Issue is hardly that buggy imo.
