I would like to suggest a skin for 'spines' that is energy spikes, like the ones in the celestial aura. I have been somewhat obsessed with the idea lately because I think that would look awesome.

After several days, I finally googled the error message (why didn't I try that sooner?) and the top result was a post on the CoH subreddit, whose top answer was... restart the router. I'm annoyed that the answer was that simple and that it took me that long to find it, but it did indeed let me log into the game. Trouble is, it didn't actually eliminate the problem. It's kind of a band-aid solution, as I now have to restart my router literally every single day in order to play. Every day I still get the "can't connect to DBserver" error until I restart the router. At least I can get in, which is good, but it's kinda driving me bonkers. (I figured this out like 4 days before making this comment, I just procrastinated that long on coming back to the forum.)

I tried revalidating multiple times. I tried to uninstall tequila but it's not in my computer's list of programs when I'm in the "uninstall programs" window. I opened a folder and had it search the whole computer for tequila and deleted what I could, a lot of it said it couldn't be deleted but this did allow me to reinstall tequila and got it to reinstall the game, but still it had no effect. This has been ongoing for several days, although I have not yet tried today. Yesterday I was able to consistently get into the character select, but it would always give me "no mapserver connection" when I tried to get in, then I could only get to character select again if I exited the game and started over. Edit: I just tried. Couldn't reach character select, it's back to the DBserver error.

I haven't been able to play the game since the latest update. I log in, I get the terms of service thing and hit accept, I click on a server, and after a while of waiting, it says "can't connect to DBserver" and kicks me back to login. One time I got in long enough to make a new character and join a DFB, but when we tried to go, it did that thing where your view points up from the ground with no UI like it did that first weekend when the servers couldn't handle the number of players. I had to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to make it close. Since then, once or twice I got into the character select, but when I tried to log in it would say "no mapserver connection" and kick me back to login again. I'm on pc, I'm using tequila, the game is up to date, and it is set as an exception on my antivirus. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong or how I could fix it?
