City Of Heroes: Issue #4 Is Now Live!

[ShotgunSteven]

Get the scoop here!

 

[Modeps]

looks like all the servers are still down though

Quite an update. Lots of improvements to powers and only a rare minor nerf.

Issue #5 will be another huge one with new powers and archetypes.

Quote:

Supergroup Rumbles are set up between the leaders of two Supergroups, and limit combatants to belonging to one or the other Supergroup in order to participate. This means that the largest possible battle is 65 people versus 65 people. Once we fix a technical problem, we want to increase this to 75 vs 75 to match the maximum supergroup size.

My buddy is so hooked that he's angry the servers have been down so long.

They should have been back up a couple of hours ago, by their own schedule. :disgust:

EDIT: Champion has gone from DOWN to UNKNOWN status, which is usually the first step to going back up.

Virtue and Justice also now listed as UNKNOWN.

I searched and couldn't find any info, but I was wondering if there is a free COH trial or demo available? It looks like fun, but I'd like to try it before I commit to it. I don't really care much for WoW...

Actually, I had a code in my e-mail that was good for a free fourteen day trial. I might still have it.

Bah, downtime has now been extended to 3:00 P.M. CDT.

Servers are now up!

 

[Modeps]

downloading patch now

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Figures, the Arenas are not working right now. My cape also disappeared when I entered Steel Canyon via train, and reappeared when I left.

 

[Modeps]

Just wondering if anyone noticed any weird happenings, like click boxes not in the right spot around the baddies or cars not swerving anymore to miss you (now they just hit and push you)

I've noticed increased lag.

Animations don't go off, and sometimes the damage doesn't show until late, but the attack goes off and begins to recharge without anything being shown visually. Some of the baddies don't fall down when they die either, they stay stuck standing until they fade out. It's annoying, especially the attack lag.

I haven't tried on other servers though, only on Guardian (on which I sometimes suffer slight lag).

However, I made a new toon, because I wanted to play with the new costume options.

Yep, I've noticed all of the above as well... Maybe it's just from everyone updating or whatever. I bet they have seperate update servers though.

 

[Modeps]

looks like the screenshot button stopped working for me, anyone else?

 

[Tremulant]

I haven't tried taking any screenshots since the update.

And yeah, I kinda figured it was laggy because of the updates. Hopefully it'll be resolved today. *only 10.5 hours until I'm home and can play*

I have experienced both lag and the missing animations on Liberty, but only within the last couple of weeks. The animations mainly seem to go walkabout when I am chaining actions together in a hurry. The lag is relatively new, I have NEVER suffered from lag on Liberty until lately.

Yesterday after the servers went back up I took the train to Steel Canyon and my cape disappeared, and I could not make it reappear by changing to any of my other costumes with a cape, changing and then changing back, et cetera. It finally reappeared when I took the train out of Steel Canyon to Brickstown.

Not as annoying as the incident in Star Wars Galaxies where I crossed a server boundary and the servers were out of synch so the pants I had just bought from a tailor disappeared, and I had to run all the way back across the desert to her shop to reacquire them, all sans pants.

This is kind of stupid. I died 3 times tonight in the hollows, thanks to gigantic groups appearing literally right next to me and immediately attacking me, or me backing up into them, an area I just walked through, when fighting another group. Ugh.
