"BAF and ITF performance should be much improved" is a customer facing facing impact, imo.

I don't think so. I think map/powers optimizations mean graphic lag, not UI display issues. I do hope they fix the team display bug soon, it's really annoying. It should be a priority, imo.

Any chance the players could get an update what the status of the team display issue is? Still chasing it down? Fix on the way? No clue?

Edit:
This should be a high priority as well, forgot about this one. Same request for status here also.

You and Tom Petty.

Not so fast. We just started subscriber beta this week for all subcribers. Get the beta server download (not test server/training room) and hop on the beta server and check out all the changes.


Mostly this involves hanging out it RWZ broadcasting "lf Trial!" then running around in a panic because you have no idea what the mission involves, but it's all good. (Just let folks know you've been gone so they give you some hints.)

If you go to the Team window, there's a Search button on the bottom that lets you look for other players. You can look for folks who are in your level range, or in your zone, or any combination. You can send them tells directly, and you can see their "team status." The unfortunate thing is that their status is color coded and there's no logend. Go here:

Remember that when Freedom hits, you'll get rewards much faster -- one token per month. I'd suggest you remain subscribed for a short time until you get chat access, then go Premium if you desire. From another thread the rewards are:

At Tier 2: Access to Huge characters, supergroups, trading, gmail, AE play
At Tier 3: Access to chat channels

So you only need to subscribe for about 2-4 months before you have access to all the channels. I'm not sure if you can buy channel access directly.


As said previously 8 levels is not a big deal. You'll Sidekick up to his level and be able to traverse the zones and do his missions as easily as he does.

Remember Going Rogue has been out for a year. By now most folks have done all the content, and are just leveling for XP. If you want to run missions solo the first time through, by all means do. I did that myself too. One thing you might want to do is get an alternate character who doesn't need to experience the missions and just log them in when you get a team request (assuming you want to team).


Yes, because most of us have done the content at least 8 times before. Just explain you're new and running the content to read the mission descriptions and experience the content. You'll get a lot of sympathy from most of the players. Some might even offer to go down to your level and run the content slowly with you.

Just to be clear, this is "buy" with in game money, or Inf. Not a real money transaction. About half of the wings in game are available for free, just trade your shinies to another player for them.

I tend to agree with Arcanaville on her last point. One idea I've been messing with in my head is to allow Free players to reply to a tell, say, within 5 minutes of the last tell from a given person. Extra work and coding but would make the free guys a little less isolated.

Other ideas: allow /friends and /supergroup. That'll help with new folks who get invited to try the game out by someone already in. With out at least that then there's going to be difficulties getting some new folks in.

Red-side says "Wazzup?"

We're not that bad, really. We have hardly any tyranny at all. You'd hardly notice. We have lots of cake though. So delicious and moist! Yeah, that's the ticket. So you should stop by Rogues Isles and get your cake and have a little victory party with all the differently moral folk.


Seriously, you're here at a good time. Both Atlas Park (heroes) and Mercy (villains) just a huge overhaul to the starting zones, which is currently on the Beta server for testing. Check it out if you can. Or wait for the final version live. City of Heroes is going Free to Play soon so with your first month you'll be premium subscriber forever now and be able to play anytime you want, even if your subscription lapses.

Not much else to say. I get logged out of the forums at least once per day. And I lose my "last read" history every time it happens. Very annoying. This is the only forum I've been on that has this problem.

Please fix it!

You'll want both eventually but probably right now you want Beta, not Test/Training Room. Freedom is being beta tested on Beta right now.

They basically have two test servers right now. One for long term projects (Freedom) and the Training Room for short term projects like testing a patch before it's pushed out to Live. Follow the instructions for copying files, only the directory names are different (iirc).
