I'm not going to be able to play again after tonight until probably Sunday. Is anyone going to be up to a pre-Thanksgiving game?

Sure, i'm not cooking this year (okay, I'm making that up to myself by cooking a turkey on friday, I'm thinking I might need to talk to a therapist about this) so all I've got to make tonight is the cranberries... everything else can be made at a rather relaxed pace tomorrow.
So I've got time. I'm leaving the office early, too, tho I have to stop at the store to buy chestnuts.

Sigh, I wish I could play. The days leading up to olidays at the paper are always a trial, but this Thanksgiving seems particularly bad -- mostly because of the new computer system we're in the middle of switching over to -- so everything's all messed up.
It's 9:13, and I'm still here -- probably for another half hour or so. Yippee.

I STILL cannot keep a connection. And they continue to ignore my petition and bug reports. This is it. If it is not fixed by December 1 when my subscription expires I will not be renewing.

The paper?
Do you work at a newspaper, Seymour? *Is curious.*

Sorry, buddy. That sucks.
I wish you could use a phone for stuff like that to get a live person. Can you not log on at all still or do you just keep getting disconnected?

By the way, guys, I was reading the Test Server forum about the new Epic Powers. I know that none of us will have to wrry about those for a while as you don't get access to them until Level 41, but it sounds like the ones who came out really well are the Blasters ... they get access to some of the invulnerability powers, including Unstoppable!
(I've seen Unstoppable as Blue while teamed up with some level 40s. It's pretty much the equivalent of being the Incredible Hulk on one of his rage-induced highs ... you can kick butt on a massive scale ... but at the end of two minutes it runs out and drains all your endurance. It's the level 32 power for invulnerable tanks.)
Tanks STILL didn't get a damage improvement. *Sigh* Poor Andrew ... even the non-Tanks were complaining about that. Scrappers didn't get much love either ...Controllers fared a little better, and I think the Defenders got pretty much the same defense pool power options as the Blasters ....
Unfortunately for me, Blue already has four sets of Pool Powers, so I won't be able to take an Epic Set even if I get him up to 41 unless I do a respec and get rid of one of my pools. And to be honest, I really don't want to get rid of ANY of the pools I have now ... flight and stamina are must haves, and since I didn't take devices I need the defense bonus that Stealth gives him ... and I could probably get by without Recall Friend, but it's just too darn useful to give up.
So Blue isn't going to be Epic, I don't think ...

Yup, I'm a mild-mannered copy editor (proof reading, photo captions, page layout) for a major metropolitan newspaper (and temporary boss since mine quit a couple weeks ago, but I decided not to take the job full time). I work in the features department, which means I don't have to work those awful 10 p.m.-6 a.m. shifts, but with us being short staffed, holiday vacations, extra big sections because of extra holiday advertising and a new computer system that's turning into a living nightmare (which, of course, was predicted months ago, but nobody in power listened), I've had an insane amount of overtime, and this week has been 12-13-hour days (hi, Scott!). Luckily, another advantage of the features department is that I actually get the major holidays off since our stuff is done in advance, so I get to kick back with the turkey today -- and do another 12-hour day tomorrow.
But the plus side of all this OT is that the San Diego con is pretty much assured for next year. But I'd certainly give it up for a return to a normal life.
And, Scott, I'm really sorry to hear about your continued connection problems. Where will the Legion be without Garth? And I wonder why you're having so much more trouble than Caroline. Do what you must, but know you will be missed.

Scott, I'm really sorry to hear that. Hope you're able to get this sorted out because CoH won't feel the same without you. Besides, who's going to be Mysa's favorite patient, keeping her on her toes, if Garth's not around!
Seriously, that really sucks.

I can log in and it stays connected, the first time, for about 45 minutes to an hour. If I log in after it shuts me down then I can usually only stay on about 15 minutes.
My PC runs 24/7. I'm always downloading something (comic books, britcoms) unless I'm playing or programming. I never have connection problems especially ones that cause my PC to shut down with no warning. And I have no trouble playing on the test server. It works just fine. I wound up almost fully mapping Striga the other night as well as IP and Talos where I've only just begun to play.
What really ticks me off is their continued refusual to answer me. I've sent them my laptop settings, I've installed and reinstalled all the latest drivers. But they still don't acknowledge it. I think they'd rather spend their time trying to gimp the game than work on real issues.
