  • Thanks for your help!
  • "Connecting to account server..." "Connection to the account server timed out." Yay...
  • Given it's affecting STO and NW, it very well might be a ddos.
  • Great. And I had plans tonight too.
  • Patching is not working for me. Changing proxy has no effect; the patch hangs on 3%. I've been trying to patch the game for days now with no luck, no success. Is this Cryptic's way of reducing the playerbase enough to justify shutting down the servers? Edit: And it never fails, that once I post a complaint in the forums,…
  • Getting this again myself. Haven't logged in in three days, my password IS correct. Why is this happening?
  • They all have a 10 minute cooldown unaffected by CDR. Instead of bogging down our starter inventories with useless trash, just upgrade the thing.
  • The four armed golem has an activated ability that gives you energy, the level 3 version can store 4 charges of this.
  • THere's a depressing amount of truth here. A nemesis is, by implication, THAT ONE GUY(tm) who just keeps screwing up your day. The nemeses provided in game would be a lot more threatening if you could actually choose their powers. One idea I'd want for this is for the nemesis to have 2 passives, say one each of two…
  • The XP drop item isn't giving me XP even when I have no boosts of any kind up once a toon hits level 25.
  • Update: Apparently, it's happening in ALL alerts now. Not getting the XP award from the end of the alert.
  • I have a sinking feeling that this might be the time that the CO programming kludge catches up to us all...
  • Update: Maintenance for CO will be going until 4pm. Until the next pushback.
  • As a pet player, I can testify that the pet window for individual commands is BROKEN. It has been for several years, and has been completely ignored. The ability to give individual pets move, stay, or attack commands (Which makes a HUGE difference for RP) is non functional, and pets only (and only sometimes) respond to the…
  • One of the members of my supergroup died this week, and the rest of us are still getting answers from the person who is pretty much our only link in game. I hope that this issue is resolved soon.
  • Okay, so: Updated concept- a Powers purchase the increases the number of Advantage points for a specific pet summoning power by 4. This, coupled with new advantages (2-3 points: Summons 1 additional pet) could ALSO conceivably be a way to upgrade pet powers. The upgrade could be designed to require you to purchase the pet…
  • I'm not bothered by balloons and disco balls. Balloons are one use items, and I've sold them, because I'm making globals off them. Same with disco balls, I have 40 left in my bank and I sell one or two per week. I don't care about those. The ones that irritate me are the ones you use flying into the ground to force…
  • Personally, I'd be happy with a device that turns off collision. Then the travel power trolls that move you all over the floor as you try to type would really BE on ignore when you put them there after they wear out their welcome.
  • Constant SNR for the last few hours. Get a new Internet provider, the one you guys have right now is sixteen gallons of terrible slopping over the sides of a five gallon bucket.
  • As I mentioned in a battlestation thread, the foundry, or at least something that could be used to make your own storyline missions, could be made using off the shelf stuff already present in the battle station in the powerhouse. Add specific nodes you can have mooks spawn, add in a triggered dialogue section, and give the…
  • Constant SNR since today's patch. And when I say constant,this is not hyperbole. I mean, I log in, I try to move around, and I get an immediate message stating Server Not Responding. The disruption continues, cycling about every thirty seconds it takes an input from me, and while the chat client isn't affect the game…
  • It occurs to me, that the battlestation could be used as a foundation for a foundry type addition to the game. It can add groups of enemies of varying types and difficulties. If you changed the varying spawn points to independant nodes, give each one its own sliders, the option to change backgrounds, and the possibility of…
  • It seems to me that a lot of these problems could even be solved with a "flavor as needed" option- for instances, something that allows you to change the source of a power from hands to "guns" the way that you can change certain powers from palm to fist, forehead, or chest.
  • I hear constantly on forums and in game that the game has a critically low subscriber base. For once I want to see numbers that support this. PW doesn't keep the game open out of charity, it must be making money somehow.
  • Oh, don't get me wrong, I understand the need, especially if something bad comes up with a holiday interaction with content that came out since last year. I understand, not complaining, was just hoping the servers would come up before I had to leave today XD
  • Anybody have any idea when the servers will be back up?
  • I'll do you one better. All players get a free travel power, remove the second travel power point, add one additional power at 35, and make travel powers normal powers. Then, a character who is there mostly for RP purposes can have multiple (Or no) travel powers, more flexibility, etc.
  • Lazy? Maybe so. but their performance is adequate to the needs of that community. And it still doesn't invalidate the fact that by comparison, the per-dev workload here at CO is much higher, and the stability of the CO platform is much worse than that of LoL. This isn't really that unreasonable a request, and I was stating…
  • There'd be some difficulties with that, though, from a visual perspective. How do you re-skin and re-skeleton wolves to be angels? It'd be less work for the dev team to just allow multiple selections of a power. And the amount of work they have to put in is definitely a factor, given they have a smaller dev team than…
  • This is a cool idea too, but i'd like to be able to either a) summon 4, 5, or 6 muni bots in a single spell (Possibly at the cost of 3 or 4 powers points to do it) or else have 3 separate instances of muni bots that can be summoned. Thematically and RP wise this is not unreasonable. It wouldn't even necessarily be that…
  • No, that would start getting into polygon issues as there's going to be someone out there who decides to have all the pets with all the doubles, and trolls taking that into rencen to crash people's graphic cards or something. I'm not looking to cause trolls, I just want to have a pack of angels or a whole bunch of laser…
  • An update to the earlier issue: Resolved, apparently a sector went bad on my hard drive.
  • And again. Is this going to be a recurring problem? Are you guys just shutting down service to certain regions at certain times of the week to reduce server load or traffic? Cause a better solution would be to get better servers or better bandwidth.
  • Yep, same here. Update: Been an hour and a half. Have not successfully logged into the game yet. Getting ping ranging from 15k to no response, Half the time the launcher doesn't load, all other forms of internet are working, firewalls and router are correctly configured, and have sacrificed a chicken to the Goat with a…
  • It's a matter of using them as income. Or hell, just for kicks. If it has a health bar at all, you should be able to kill it. If you can kill it, especially as a tough fight, you should have rewards commensurate to the toughness. Because the mega destroids were something you had to work for to kill. Reducing all the…
  • Drop rate is still terrible. I've done each rampage 5-10 times on each of 3 toons per rotation, only seen 1 token from all of them, ever since the tokens were "introduced".
  • Okay. Given it a lot of thought, reading what people are adding, and I can see where everyone is coming from here. But players who've been playing a long time, in my opinion, deserve an incentive of some sort to KEEP playing. I'm not talking about a huge buff each time. (And silver champ recognition was what I was talking…
  • Mmm, the open endedness was kind of the point to it- It'd take a long time to rack up more than three or four powers, but being technically open ended would mean there's no literal limit to a heroes strength, but a fairly decent practical one.
  • Point taken. Could be the first time you do it, it allows you to spend Unity currency to buy new powers (plural) on a scaling level- each one you buy causes the next to cost cumulatively more. Maybe 75 unity for a new power, 25 for an additional advantage point, maybe other perks as well, like a 1% increase in health or a…
  • Wow. Got dumped. Fun stuff, yo. 60 seconds of SNR, followed by cannot contact account server on attempted relog. Anybody tell me how to resolve "proxy disabled" errors? Edit: Went away on its own. What's going on with this?
  • Log in timing out again. Why does this problem keep cropping up?
  • Connection timeout...
  • That's the precursor to about 2 weeks of dc troubles. Don't expect to be able to chat, fight, farm, fuse, pretty much anything until about mid january. It seems to be cyclical.
  • Huzzah! It worked! Thank you to both of you who responded, you guys are an example of awesome.
  • Really? How does that work?
  • Alright. I believe I am pinning down the culprit, and it is on Cryptic's end. Any time I enter a map where it stops responding, it's preceded by the in game download of multiple patches, none of which get the opportunity to complete. It seems to be trying to send too much information at once, and since there isn't any…
  • Searching forums has gotten me nothing useful. I have port forwarded, restarted modem and router multiple times, flushed dns, reinstalled a second time, and gotten no improvement. My internet is not suffering interruptions, my ping is good until the troubles hit, at which point it goes all wonky. Chat does not reliably…
  • Since I'm getting literally no response from in game help, nor here on the forums, I'm probably talking to myself. Which is disappointing, because I AM a paid member, but a quick perusal of the forums seems to indicate that Cryptic cares less about this factor than they do about the price of rice in Antarctica. None the…
  • Game now refuses to start.
