  1. Oh, I16 Closed Beta dropped today.

    According to Posi's tweet anyway.

    Howdy all. *sigh* It has been an absolutely miserable last couple days. My best friend in the world dumped me, and now I feel like this completely unpurposeful...thing. I mean, this was a person I talked to all day everyday, and now I can't. A person I spilled my guts to, and loved dearly, even if it was stupid to.

    *scuffs her toe on the floor of the Rookery to distract from wiping her eyes*

    I told someone on here that I couldn't have a super serious friendship because I didn't know if I had room in my heart for it, but now there's this gaping, bleeding, torn space, and I'm having an incredibly hard time dealing with it.

    *takes a hanky out of her pocket and blots the tears with with*

    Well, I've got more anger and spite, but I've been there. Recently too. Rather than get sad (though I still get pretty melancholy at times), I've decided to be angry and bitter instead. Resolutely awaiting their comeuppance whereupon I shall possibly turn away and let them fall. Maybe not. We'll see.

    Wall-E was a cast-off mute for a loooong time. You sure you want to be in that crowd? Still a thing btw.
  8. Sacks are things, sack stuffing is things, people are things... Yup. You're a thing Fed, but in good company. Mazinger was a thing. Johnny 5 was a thing. R2D2 was a thing. Things are awesome. Everyone wants more things.
  9. Holy crap! THIS is awesome. The guy only uses ballpoint pens. SRSLY!?
  10. Noticed during a Manticore last night that it was going down... partially to fix the Manticore TF bug. Oi.

    On the upside, we had 3 GM's on retainer to help if we encountered any level 40 PPE's.

    On a related note I WANT LT SELU WHATISNAMES AT!

    Bubbles and blasts and he was putting my bots down with single shots? MAN he was tough.

    With the powersets I'd think defender but his blasts were way to strong for a defender.
    He's a Ballista. They're Bubbles + Energy + EM + 50%ish resists.

As of now he has a LONG way to go.
    But what about all your I16 toons? The next 2x weekend is right after I16 drops after all.

    Anyway, I got 2 levels on my first successful blaster and made 50, then got 2 levels on my highest non-50 brute. I want to get her to 50 so I don't have 4 sub-50 active brutes when I16 drops and I roll The Talsorian.
  13. So how did everyone enjoy the dubble expees? Good? Bad? Too busy and didn't get any of it?

    Has AE KOed CoX?

    Thank god no! Listened to enough of them on vent though. Seems pretty straightforward. Sit by door with a 46, other 6 people beat the everlovin crap out of the map. I hit 50 before dinner. Lookit all that risk I had to deal with. Whew. Glad I was up to all the alt+tabbing and watching YouTube I had to do so I could be 50. I'm sure I'll be a valuable asset to a team now. So... where's this ITF Mothership thingy I heard about? What do I put in those holes under my powers? What's endurance?

    The point is that the reward is so vastly skewed compared to the risk that it's a broken system.

    Ah. So of course they actually meant challenge themselves and receive rewards far outweighing any risk. How silly of me to not realize that "challenging" themselves meant 1-50 in a few hours of Lt farming.

    How would removing rewards prevent them from challenging themselves?

    EDIT: Farming is farming. Meh. Take it or leave it. I'll leave it as I can maybe manage one run before being bored to tears anyway. AE levelling (especially via (broken) farms) is my gripe.

    As you can see this last hub is very high comparing to the rest.

    Now, all of these, "Because it is DXP weekend" nonsense should not matter being I did this after Mondays Maintenance. COH has a problem on their hands at the moment. I just wish I does not drive away paying costumers like myself. Sat watching my "Red Grass" via /netgraph sitting in Atlas Park while everyone else was gaming DXP weekend.

    That is all
    As I can see from you chart... It's not NCS/PS's problem at all. Please use the myriad of tools available on the web and contact the tech support section of the company that owns that node and inform them of their issue.

    Again, your evidence indicates that it is NOT Paragon Studios/NC Soft's problem.

    EDIT: There is a config tool that was provided to us by NCS that actually tries connections to the various login servers and DBServers. Poke around a little and do some research.
