    Costume Codes

    They're not even posting many now that's it's getting towards the end, which seems incredibly unfair to those of us who have missed out so far. I desperately want a Ring Mistress code for a Going Rogue character concept I have (missed last night's, sadly ).
  2. Known issue:

    Missions

    • The "Crown of Glory" story arc does not reward an XP bonus on completion.
    Presumably related to the spawning issues? I had the same problem a while back, I had a GM complete the arc for me and didn't get a bonus.

    TRT question

    The mission door has to be in your level range. If you're too high for the zone you can't ToT there.

    The mechanics for the other event you discovered are detailed here (site is slow at the moment though).
  4. I'm especially glad this is gone because I stopped receiving those messages a while back, so I never knew when my sidekick was out of range (of course, I usually realized when my mentor was out of range, but not always immediately). I never did get around to contacting support about it, and now I don't have to.
  5. They can't make the later Vet Rewards too good or people would be complaining that veteran players get an advantage over newer players. Which people do anyway.

    Be thankful you even get Veteran Rewards at all. They didn't even exist until Issue 8, 2 and a half years after release.

    Or you can Flashback.

    Hell, I could have told you that my ISP sucks yesterday.
  8. CIT is still forwarding to this thread.
  9. Well there's 4 Shadow Shard TFs, so that's at least 1 you haven't done. Occasionally there's speculation that the Shard will be made co-op, but nothing official.

    There'll be some new content coming up in the expansion Going Rogue though, so that'll be something for your 50 to do. In the meantime, roll a new toon, maybe an Archetype or powerset combo you've never tried before.
  10. If they've ever said anything, it was probably along the lines of "when it's fixed". I don't think they have any kind of timeline for fixing it, at least nothing they've made public.
  11. I wouldn't recommend holding your breath until it returns, that's for sure.

    This. Absolutely this.
  13. The intro to the blueside costume contest says the event begins at 9:30 PM, while the specifics give what I assume is the correct starting time of 8-8:15 PM.
  14. There actually are two children in the game -- Penny Preston and Penelope Yin (okay, she's a teenager).
  15. You know you've got insomnia when you've resorted to reading 3-month old threads.
  16. I will never forget the first time I experienced this. I was on my Blaster, and has just defeated a Council Vampyr boss when he suddenly transformed into a Warwolf. This was enough of a shock to me, and I had already been fading fast during the battle with the Vampyr. High-tailed it down the elevator and thought I was safe...until the Warwolf followed me down.

    I can't even remember the last time I experienced this after that, probably because I vator-retreat so infrequently, and because the first event was so indelibly burned into my brain.
  17. Based on when previous Halloween Events started, some time next week would be a good guess.

    Why not? First of there are the contacts you can ask for inspirations.
    It's a lot harder to find inspirations on a Task Force, though. In fact outside of the base stores you mentioned (and not everybody is on a Supergroup), I don't think there's anywhere you can get inspirations while on a Positron or Synapse TF, since you don't have access to Ouroboros (someone correct me if I'm wrong, because I feel like I am but I'm not sure why).
  19. What exactly are you looking for, eryg2?

    Pure titanium has a hardness comparable to low-grade iron and steel compounds. There are various steels out there that are far harder. Titanium and titanium alloys simply do it while reducing the overall weight.

    Upsides to using titanium alloys.

    • Lighter than straight steel
    • Stronger than aluminum
    • Corrosion Resistant
    • Non-magnetic (when not alloyed with a ferrous compound)
    • Non-conductive
    Emphasis mine on "non-magnetic" -- making him more than a match for a superpowered villain like, say, Magneto. (Although I suppose he could still use his powers to choke Luke Cage with his own tiara...)
  21. I've wasted too many Wentworths, Base and Mission TPs inside Pocket D. While the teleport itself is suppressed, the power isn't disabled, which means you go through the entire animation cycle, only to find yourself still in Pocket D, with one less WW TP charge, waiting out the extremely long recharge on any of these powers. ("But DarkGob, surely you're just an idiot who can't remember a simple detail about Pocket D!" Sure I am, but everybody has to discover this for a first time.)

    On a related note, if at all possible the WW TP should only subtract a charge if you actually use it to teleport. If, say, you begin the process to teleport, then remember that you're in Pocket D while you still have a chance to interrupt it, you shouldn't lose a charge for that.

    But the mission isn't always in the same zone as the contact. It's fine once you have the contact's phone, but what about before then?

    Answer - How can a with a guy with a sword? Besides Luke Cage learned to fight on the streets, and he does fine.
    Having skin as strong as titanium also helps.

    You press a button and you're just THERE man! Don't ask how you got there. It's not important. The fact is, you're there, and some butt is about to get whupped!
