Were you providing your pet teammate with any defensive buff or debuffing the ACC of your foes?
I tested this a couple of times too, they were all longbow I tested it on. Unless I got some random hot streak. I also noticed this in PVP too trying to kill a player's veteran pet but in that instance I wasn't sure if it had buffs. -
If anyone is interested its up for sale.

I am using the Resist damage one and I notice something interesting. He is VERY hard to hit at times. Not sure if it is gaining my set bonuses or something or what but I've noticed +2 minions missing him like 6-7 times in a row.
Were they buffed? -
Quote:Man and it is bad tonight, just soloing and I am having so much lag. I wonder when this will get fixed. I also wonder if Issue 16 will come first. The sad thing is the test server is on the West Coast so it would be impossible to test in open beta.Originally Posted by Oyasumi_Nasai
Oh good gosh, Ultimus lives in the same small town that I do.
At least I know what the issue is now. -
Update:
Quote:the problem here seems to be related to a routing issue on the return path from our east coast datacenter. As such, only the east coast servers are affected by this.
Our network engineering team has been investigating this in an effort to get it resolved as quickly as possible. By this point, we've gathered enough information from you to include in a compiled report (of other affected customers) as part of their investigation. We currently have no update on this yet but we're working to get this cleared up so that our customers can continue to play on the east coast servers without this problem.

Everyone else in the zone is doing it to. I have done that tutorial 75+ times. I am honestly so sick of it it really isnt funny.
That tutorial wasnt even there until a few months ago.
It is just like the rest of the game... You are doing the same things everyone else is doing. You dont even need to be there. Because everyone else is doing the same linear content you would be doing if you were there.
I am happy you like the game as you have said in so many other threads, but TBH I dont feel like a super hero when I am always being a government lacky. That tutorial has like nothing to do with the rest of the game... Get out of the City and go to the middle of nowhere and collect wolf pelts.
One thing that does piss me off and I have been in contact with Cryptic reps and a GM now and they are reviewing it is the name filter. Ultimus is not allowed over there yet my account name is Ultimus. Oh that makes me angry enough not to play it.
Edit: I heard the same thing for a few other players. With names they use here, I think one person had "Wind Dancer" as their main and its restricted there. -
This lag is definitely still going on. Its so bad I would take a free transfer off Freedom at this point. NOTE: Its ANY East Coast server I just happen to play on Freedom but I tested it.

Quote:So how does CO do it from your perspective? In the introduction you save an entire city from aliens and you saving citizens trapped under rubble that are going to die unless you pick it up and save them.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
Well, my other thread that he was referring to was me... Trying to explain again! Again! Why CoX makes you feel like a SUPER HERO instead of a Government lacky.
I think/though CO failed at making me feel Super. Where this game succeeds.
In this game there are pedestrians fighting with gang bangers on the street. pedestrians you need to save from drunk drivers. Thats what super heroes do when there isnt anything super major going on. IMO. In this game there drug dealers that need to be taken out. We dont want the kids of paragon getting hooked on Superdine. This is what makes a low time hero into a big time hero. Doing heroic deeds for the city.
I was TRYING and trying and TRYING to explain that on the CO boards. -
I noticed in the detailed information on some of the stalker attacks it says "Special Lethal" -- What does this mean? Its less resisted?

I just found this by BABs:

None of the other old developers aren't banned (Like Geko). I also notice Cricket is banned too.
Seems kind of funny but not really sure why that was done. I wonder what he thinks when he visits the forums? -
Quote:What is your location? What state? Thing is its effecting a lot of players (Even if you check Technical support there are threads about it). Traceroute says its their service and I do not get lag on any West Coast servers. I also do not get lag playing other games (Like WOW)Originally Posted by Blood_Spectre
Infinity's been just fine for me of late. I think it's your ISP.

Hey guys I made a thread about this in this forum, maybe we can determine if it is effecting people in a certain area. Please check it out

EDIT: Possibly acknowledged by a Developer...

* Freedom

I have noticed the past two weeks a LOT of lag on these servers for the past 3 weeks or so. The West coast servers run smooth as silk. The netgraph (/netgraph 1) reports a lot of red spikes. Thing is, at first I thought it was my ISP, but my other games did not suffer this problem and logging onto a West Coast server like Virtue and playing reported no problems.
I then began to search around and found other players with this exact problem. Upon contacting support, I am blamed it is my ISP. So has anyone else noticed this problem? It seems like NCSoft is unaware of this and I'd rather not have to pay 150-200 dollars to move ALL my characters off of an East Coast server to a West Coast server.
Edit: Can I ask anyone that reads this and plays on one of these servers to please reply with:
LOCATION -- Phoenix, AZ (In my case)
ISP -- Cox Cable Internet
LAG -- (Yes or no) Yes
EDIT: UPDATE!!!!!!

So its come to my attention a lot of people are getting lag on the East Coast servers:
* Freedom
* Infinity
* Liberty
* Pinnacle
* Victory
* Triumph
If you notice lag, you can type /netgraph 1 and it will display the netgraph. If it has a lot of red spikes, there is a problem. So here's the format and maybe we can determine what is going on, support blames the ISPs as a problem... yet my other games run just fine and the west coast servers do too.
LOCATION: Phoenix, Arizona
ISP Provider: Cox Cable Internet
Problem: Lots of red spikes, delays in animations, etc. -
By the way, are we all random ISPs?
-
Wow, I just came here to post the EXACT same thing thinking "What is wrong with my connection" and I find this post. Yes I play on Freedom too (East Coast server) and I login to Virtue and its smooth as silk.
This is HIGHLY annoying. -
"... **** you."
Yep someone negged me with that. Not sure how to report it since there is no name. -
Quote:The exact same reason you enjoy to farm for a virtual currency and drops that sell for it. Its like a mini-game in itself. It also has the added bonus of when I neg someone I can send them down into near perma-redOriginally Posted by Perfect_Pain
Why?
What do you get out of it?
I understand when people farm BM they get drops that can be sold for virtual currency...
But when you farm Rep? Its farming a false sentiment that people like what you say?
Plz Esplayne

you play that raise your rep game...
and so you felt the need to not atleast crop that picture? -
Not sure how long it will last but I just took a screenshot
-
Is it just me? It is taking like 2 minutes to load a page or a post. Other websites seem to load fine, is there a way to fix it if it is on my end?
-
Please give me one Ghost Falcon As having the 2nd most rep on the entire board I think I should get one

When I had this problem, it was my power supply dying. That might be something to check.

Super Sidekicking, just one example of what having Champions Online will do. Direct competition is good, this idea is directly taken from their system. (Not saying that is bad)
