Clave Dark 5 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Yup - and in a supreme bit of irony, it broke apart a Katie Hannon PUG we had just started after some, well, let's say "ignorance of the mechanics" and leave it at that.

I see that posting I have been very polite not to crap on it as you recruit. You do you. Stay away from me lol Today I am continuing on with the toon I started 12/27. New toon (dark dark corr) for 2023 to solo all Redside contacts. Have done all 1-14, working at a steady pace on 15-20 today. Also starting the 4 DiBs I need to keep those tasty buffs until level 30. Have badged all winter except lady winter and still need 60 winter horde. Not sure what level lady winter event is. It may open this afternoon when i roll 20-24 content. Or it may be a next winter badge. But I roll easy mode. Well, soloing Redside on a Corruptor is not super difficult, but it is a walk in the park compared to what some of you maniacs do 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironblade Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have two comments: 1. On the iTrial my girlfriend was running last night, three people mapserved - all playing dark armor. Knowing your affinity for dark armor, I wonder if that's what you were playing? 2. A number of people have speculated that the increased player levels during the holidays, combined with the lack of a maintenance shutdown last Tuesday, is having a negative effect. If so, the restart this morning should clear it up. Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

It mapserved three times, and each time took forever to sync back up. No problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorDitko Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Is anyone else having these mini-mapservers that interrupt what you're doing, but don't throw you out of the game? Before the leaves fell off the trees, I was getting those several times a night. 1 Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor. Do not take medical advice from Doctor Ditko. Also, not a physicist.

ZemX Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 And again last night a couple times. Excel was north of 800 logged in. Dropped in the middle of a +4 fight with an Aspect of Rularuu (or something) at the end of WWD pt5 just as we had him down to 10% or so health too. Team came back as two teams on the same map, which was very strange. But still was able to finish. Another mapserv on a PI AV team a little later that dropped most of the team. I blame Statesman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
