We're seeing a number of player disconnects in Millennium City right now -- this was an issue earlier, but it lapsed, and now it seems to be back in full force. The dev team is looking into it right now.
-Mentella's unadulterated rage at these new powers which lack Control has caused mass unconsciousness (lagging) and has made some players comatose (repeated disconnects) through sheer exposure to her psychic rage. We are working tirelessly to appease her with cups of peppermint herbal tea. We are even considering offering up Medusa to direct her rage at.
NOT JUST THAT but I was silenced for 24 hours apparently 2 hours ago... the thing was I wasn't playing till 5 minutes ago AT ALL like not even logged on, cause I was sleep from getting back from an appointment, Trailturtle since your clearly in this thread can you fix this?
so your stating you can be muted without even playing the game for a day while offline ? how is that a possible thing
no, I don't associate myself with anything other than champions online... I'd write a ticket but my "sixth sense" tells me even though I dump a lot of cash into this game I won't receive customer service
look, I know my chances are low, but I'm not going to stop until I at least get trail turtles conformation that nothing can be done. I'm sick of this stupid chat system, and if anything were to make me stop playing this game that I really enjoy it would be said system. not being able to talk for 24 hours and being stuck at the same time for what is now an unknown time due it constantly restarting is beyond maddening...
Have you sent in a ticket to Customer Support? It's possible they'll get back to you over the course of the work day.
Believe it or not, but this does actually work. I have tried it myself when I was being harassed by another player and his SG. Within 10 hrs of filing the ticket I got a response.
Millennium City instances (the main city) is currently bugged or corrupted. If you are there you will get disconnected. To avoid getting disconnects every few seconds do not zone into Millennium City, stay in Canada, Desert, Monster Island or any instanced zone you're currently in.
If you are already inside MC with your character or just coming out from an Alert going into MC, get to your Hideout as fast as possible and don't move around a lot. From there you can switch over to MC take a few steps and then switch back to your hideout. As long as you dont travel too far in MC or stay too long you should slowly, step by step get to the Jet or some other place to zone out of MC completely.
To resolve these disconnects, we've temporarily disabled all emotes -- using emotes was the cause of the zone crashes.
I know that the emotes are a fun part of Champions, so we're working to get them fixed and reactivated as soon as possible. I don't have a timeline on that, but it might be a few days or a week. It's unfortunate, but having the game be stable has to be our first priority.
Thanks everyone for your help identifying possible causes, I really appreciate it.
So basically you're saying we danced the game server to death?
That's pretty badass, actually.
It wasn't everyone combined, it was one person who knew a stupid exploit. This is what I mean by there being many more exploits than throwing blades out there. People don't see it though so they don't really know anything of it.

Don't say things like this - if this were the Neverwinter boards, this thread would get locked down immediately.
Yes, I'm serious.

The last time this happened it was due to the MC not being able to make a clone area of the zone. We ended with transfer screens that looked like:
MC #1 99 people
MC #3 76 people
MC #4 0 people
That last one is a "ghost" town if that makes sense. If you toon tries to log into it, it's a slow load screen and almost instant disconnect.

People just put you in ignore. Nothing more, nothing less.

You can put people on your ignore list when they are offline. Only thing you need is to know their handle.

Thanks to Ophan for the hideout trick
I think I laughed a little harder than I should have.
Maybe we should upgrade the hamsters to a better wheel and offer better food for them >_>
