[quote name='Muhir' timestamp='1345355276' post='61927'] Unable to log in "Connection to the Global Server Failed" at Ms. Megan. [/quote] Unfortunatly I am also getting this message when Megan appears during the login part of the game.

[quote name='Kyp' timestamp='1345066377' post='61820'] ^ See above. I've been trying to figure out exactly what is causing it but something is killing all of our sites in IIS and therefore DNS. This is why you can't find it. A temporary workaround for you would be to use this in place of the existing server address in the launcher: 74.208.192.215 [/quote] I tried this but I still am unable to log. When I press "Play" the launcher vanishes as usual but the client does not start nor does the proxy-icon appear. I am open to suggestions. Update: Edited the host file to see if that would help. No luck. Started the launcher in debug mode. Again no luck The launcher also fails to resolve patch.net-7.org. Is this patch.net-7.org somehow needed to get the game started?

I noticed HTTPS for a while now is not part of this forum nor that of the Net-7 Portal. I was wondering if this will be implemented one of these days. As it stands now I believe the logins are sent cleartext over the internet and I am not a fan of that from a security piont of view. Ofcourse this is up to the devolpers when it comes to the implementation and most likely it comes at a cost (certificate's needed I am guessing). Personally for the forum itself it could stay as is. But for the Net-7 Portal I am more for an SSL/HTTPS implementation as this 1 covers all accounts linked to the masterlogin making "abuse" more likely. I wonder how you think/feel about it. Discuss

On live I made alot of kills with my JE of 50+ mobs solo. I used L8 projectiels to kite them without these mobs ever firing a single shot at me. I have no idea how it it now at those levels. After I stopped back in closed beta Net-7 Earth & Beyond style (when we still had to figure out which animation was to go with what skill or how to get this game workable on a x64 Windows machine) I never got 1 character up to L150.

It has been awhile since I last messed around with a Terran Scout (TS) but I like to suggest an alternate L30 bonus quest for this class. At this time the TS is getting the same L30 bonus as the Terran Trader (TT) or Terran Enforcer (TE). While this might be inline with the terrans backround one can not get around the oddity of the TS not being able to make the needed quest items by oneselves. In this case the mining lasers are the needed items and for both the TT en TE this is not an issue simple as both these characters have the required build-skill as part of their skill-trees. Now it has been made clear the TS is not to have the weapon build skill and frankly I am fine with that as the Progen Sentinal lacks that very skill too. My suggestion would be to alter the TS bonus quest in a manor that the required quest-item(s) are more inline with the skill-tree made available for the TS. In this case why not make the altered bonus quest ask for a stack of alloys as the TS has the prospect skill. Or devices as this again is part of the TS's skill tree. This way the TS can make the bonus quest without any dependence upon the other races/characters. If this dependency is not seen as an issue I would suggest making the quest-items for all other classes require a component unavailable from vendors or drops to create an overall equilibrium of class-dependancies between all characters from the 3 races. I look forward to meaningfull discussion.

Use setting Local Cert but make sure to NOT use "Clients Detour". Your local.net-7.org cert should be valid till 2016. Your net-7.org is valid till 2010 You can check this in your trusted cert folder within Internet Explorer. Aka Properties -> Content -> Certificates -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Hope that helps Managed to get 3 different clients to run like this (got 3 computers I can test it on). Nvm I cant get past the login screen now...

Well, Matsu I am with you on area PvP only. But let us just sit back for now and see what comes next, hehehe

I think that PvP is something that needs to be addressed last. Much like it was added to EA-live back in the day. You want to PvP? Then get yourself a copy of a first person shooter with multi-play funtion till that time.

Whatever the reason was for the roll-back, I just hope they did find the issue(s) that was/were plaguing the server. So those that lost stuff/levels etc stop your QQing and start again. This is a stress test and not live keep that in mind. During the early stages of closed beta we had wipes. No biggie.

Intel i7 965 EE Intel DX58SO MoBo Kingston Value 6GB RAM 4x Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB ATI HD4870 1GB VRam Dual boot setup: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Vista Ultimate x64 Got 2 Blu-Ray rewritable drives in it too but for the live of me I cant remember why I have 2 of them.

I wonder why people macro stuff anyway.... Really I do. Is it because you lack the patience to hit the buttons yourself? Is it because of "The One" syndrone? (The One being a movie with Yet Lee.) aka e-peen issue's? Is it to be able to say "I beat the MAN... lookie me I am l33t" ? Is it you are unable to play for yourself so you make a program to do it for you? Guess I will never know....

I am very disappointing about the fact a dev would not be against botting in general. I see it as lack of vision and an easy way out not having to worry about tracking down bots. I am part of or have been part of p2p/f2p MMO's over the years and botting will undercut every game no matter how you look at it. If botting is allowed you might as well give the player GM permissions to up the level of his/her character or grant them access to all items in the game. 1) If you bot you will get more XP over time especially if you have bots going 24/7. (No way a normal player can compete with that.) 2) If you allow bots you undercut the economy as you allow those that have bots to avoid issue's as getting resources like ores. (You just keep a JE slave-bot going for you needs. Don't even get me started on gold-issue's.) 3) If you allow bots you deprive real players from logging on when every-one is botting. (Any server only will allow so many connections.) 4) If you allow bots you deprive players interaction between various levels in the long run. (Those that do bot will level up equally I guess. The player that does not becomes more or less isolated because that player is behind the curve with peers within weeks maybe even days.) 5) if you allow bots you will loose people willing to sign on at all down the route who like the game for content. (High level players will eventually demand all the developers time for new content which is then quickly review/played and then dis-guarded leaving them nothing then the grind or botting even more.) 6) if you allow bots the reward system is basically nullified. (Even rare items become less rare as those that bot will obtain them faster making then available to the general player. If the rare item is non-trade they become the exclusive domain open to those that bot as they have the level and resources to get them is they see it fit. The real player get deprived of the rare items making it futile to even try to get them.)

Macro use in games was allowed in EA-Live using the macro-system they (EA) added ae the end before final sunset. Please note that these in-game macro's could be broken during gameplay (say you being hit by a mob etc etc.). I am not aware of a macro system in this version of E&B so that means you cant use it. Using an external macro system is by that logic NOT allowed if you would ask me. Even if you are behind your PC watching the screen from time to time. That's my take on this macro thing.
