 I dont expect any kind of reparations. I would just like Cryptic to not down the website when the server crashes. This way they can keep us informed as to whats going on. I dont think the fact that when the server crashes, they bring the website down, is any kind of coincedince

 

I was wondering about that too. When the forums have been available they've been really slow but I've seen the website go down at about the same time as the game enough times to make me think they may have all their eggs in one pretty flakey basket at the moment.


 

It seems that the site and forums are somehow linked to the game servers in such a way that they suffer along with server issues.  As you noted, when I can't log into the game (which really is not often, today being the worst) the site seems to go down as well.

 

 

This is not that unusual.  Same thing is true for EVE, when the game servers go down, frequently the website goes down with it. 

So unlike what one poster said, sometimes this site is the only place I can find out the latest status. (because the Dev's seem to host an IRC channel during down times and while I don't monitor it, many others do and share the updates here on MMORPG.com

Patience folks, new game, always going to be some growing pains.  Look how rough WOW's start was for some folks and yet it certainly didn't hinder their long term success.

I was looking to play some champions before work, but oh well. It's not like my life revolves around CO. I have other things to do if the server happens to be down. Maybe other people should have back-up games/activities.

I just picked up the game from GameStop today.  Actually paid money for it.

I sit down to play this brand new game, and...

I was about to buy the game on steam, good thing I came here before doing it. By the way, anyone got any news? That seems like a serious issue, even the official web site is not working half of the time I try to check the official forum.

My patcher started, but it still says Server Down. Also, no files are transferring from the patcher.

Of course they posted saying it would be up by noon, its 3:48 here and it still shows that the server is down. Funny enough, the website is down also...

Forget Champs, I'd like to see the build for your drake.

Forget Champs, I'd like to see the build for your drake.

 

 I have two drakes. One is the stock mission runner, with passive shields shit. The other I solo with,

7x heavy launcher II

2x invuln II, warp disruptor, web, 2x large extender II

co-proc, 3x bcu II

3x field extender

5x hornet II

Sometimes I drop a large extender and replace it with an ab/mwd  when I want to go after small targets. This build puts me around 80k effective hp and cap stable at 65% with around 550 dps. Thats pretty damn good dps for a drake.

If you want to bait or just run missions....

7x heavy launcher II

2x invuln II, 3x shield recharger II, 1x extender II

3x shield power relay II, 1x bcu II

3x field purger

5x hornet II

 Now your talking like 170 hp per second with resists, 60 em, 69 therm, 75 ken, 80 exp. Resists are the same on ther dps build. This would be a great bait build but, sadly no one is dumb enough to attack a solo drake, most of the time. The first build is my favorite due to surprising the fuck out of people with your dps and no one ever attacks a drake first anyway. In mass combat, you will be the last target most of the time...

Your not meant to patch anything just now, according to twitter. They dont post this on their on boards but use twitter, this is becoming laughable.
