    Trailturtle, word on the street is that SG banks are showing up with NO TABS IN THEM past the original tab. Are the items within gone, or do they need to rebuy the additional tabs?

    I do not recommend acting. We are aware of this, we are investigating it, and we are very concerned about it. I will have an update shortly, I hope, but please do not re-buy those tabs.

    We are taking the server back down to resolve issues. I will let everyone know details on end time and what is affected shortly. Thanks for your patience, everyone.

    EDIT: Additional information -- when the servers come back, both the client and characters will be in a pre-maintenance state.

    Once they fix the rather catastrophic bug they had (SG banks were completely empty, including money), they'll no doubt work on the release notes.

    I really hope, Cryptic, you don't screw crap up like this yet again. How many times does the player base tell you they want a GOOD quality patch and not a hastily done PIECE OF CRAP. Oh and Throwing Blades is still VERY OVERPOWERED. Richochet Throw is also very strong, please check your numbers. Also we would REALLY like it if you made more powers interact with Sneak.

    I'll tell you a riddle. You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where the train will take you?

    A dream within a dream within a dream . . . A patch within a patch . . PATCHCEPTION. Coming later today to a server near you . . .

    Not multiple copies of Jesus, but more like Santa's elves . . . But based off of recent "work", it's like those elves have changed into bridge trolls. Give us the password (money), and you can pass (play). Then again, NO ONE PASSES. (Region bans, chat bans.) But here's some gold coins for your journey . . .(Z-Store/C-Store ((WHICH IS T?)) stuff . . .)

    Servers are open, Champions. Who knows what mysteries await your hero today?

    ... well, the patch notes know, I suppose. Expect those momentarily.

    I bet its region bans for all \o/

    they make these awesome games, but never fix the imporatant bugs and never even warn all the players that they will be dcd

    Im not sure exactly but most of us in MC got the warning,we just didnt get the WHEN part of it,the message was
    The Shard is going down for emergency maintenance

    After about a minute it went down,it was sort of obvious in MC according to zone chat that an emergency patch was inevitable,due to the whole SG bank crisis,and people saying that Nighthawk stole their SG bank stuff

    All I have to say is that through it all, Gravitar was fun as hell. I would say keep her that way, because I was grinning like a Cheshire at the fact she kept me on my toes in that fight, but I know it will be fixed. You need to have challenges exactly like that in the game. Manageable but requires thinking. She was ignoring the smoke nades which was very welcome, she was using her powers to their utmost, but not so much people couldn't handle it, and she was dangerous. A world class villain should be a very dangerous threat, not something you just sit there and trade blows with, like she has been since release.

    That one's easy. When the place you're leaving is worse than any other place you could possibly imagine. Kind of like when I jumped ship on WoW, looking for another game to play, because in the state of things post-Cataclysm, it couldn't get much worse somewhere else (and I was right, BTW - for all its faults, CO is still better, IMO).

    And for the rest of you - make up your minds.

    I was in Monster Island and got the message. It was probably global.
    People who are deeply focused in a fight tend to miss those things, but Im fairly sure everyone got the warning.

    Oh it was a lot more. She was using her yellow death blossom from full health and using her attacks more frequently. Think even faster cast times on some of them. It was glorious. It was a fight that needed attention. And as I said, I was grinning like a Cheshire the whole time, because I was having fun.

    so they not only made debuffs less effective on her,but amped her up also?

    alright it is a good thing I have both a toon that can take a yellow sphere at full health,and a toon that has sniper rifle
