Right? Or will they, within the next 3 weeks, give us another way to make Notice's?

    Is my math correct?
    You're correct.

    Thanks!
  3. Well, they're in the press release for today, so:
    (Also, the boards refuse to let me format this, so...)

    Hero Badge Villain Badge Description
    Assistant Accomplice You helped a team complete a Weekly Strike Target even though you already received the bonus for the week.
    Backup Confederate You helped 10 teams complete a Weekly Strike Target even though you already received the bonus for the week.
    Partner Conspirator You helped 50 teams complete a Weekly Strike Target even though you already received the bonus for the week.
  4. And they said they were done with grindy badges... Obviously, grindy is in the eye of the beholder.

    I'm reading reports (which, admittedly, I may be misunderstanding) that the WTF is only awarding the regular amount of merits, unless you pick the merit reward. So you only get a double reward if you pick merits, you don't get a double component, or a double SHO.

    I'm not suggesting that they should or shouldn't, just that I'll open a support ticket if my rewards deviate from the European press release that took eight minutes to load.

    Respectfully, you're wrong, and I think you don't know what you're talking about.

    You can also choose the Synthetic Hami Dumple.
    Thanks, just trying to wrap my head around this. I'm kind of dense on some things.

    So the ONLY variable is whether you pick the common incarnate salvage OR the normal merits?

    There aren't any yet, outside of the old Test notes. But Avatea still posted the WTF. I think it was to let people know what was going on, while they were still waiting on the officially sanitized Live notes.

    Choose SHOE. Receive SHOE, 25 merits, and Notice of the Well.

    From the phrasing of the patch note, it sounds like the Notice is automatically awarded to any Incarnate character.
    Can we have someone else diddle around and risk missing out on the NotW?
  10. Indeed. There are now level 51 heroes and villains traipsing around. Where you been, Bunny?

    I'm dumb, I looked at the wrong page. It's 25 merits. Still, half of what you should have gotten...

    ...if the above is correct. So our options are incarnate stuff OR merits, not incarnate stuff AND merits?

    Normally you would choose between merits or swag, right? So the 25 you're getting are the BONUS 25. If you picked the merit reward, you would get 25+25...but you didn't. Am I dissecting this correctly?

    Well congrats!
  12. Sure, the (two) next tiers for Incarnate Slot crafting and the three badges for rerunning WTF content after your first time.

    I think that covers it. Snow will likely have pictures up later today.

    We might be a little premature in awarding points to whoever wrote another deliberately vague set of patch notes...

    I'm hearing this, too.
  15. So we already broke it?
    Quote:
    Characters who successfully complete a Weekly Strike Target will receive a once-a-week gift of double merits for completion based upon the typical undiminished merit reward for the content, and a grant of up to a third, half, or two-thirds of their entire level of XP (based upon the relative length of the content). Characters who have unlocked their Alpha Slot will also receive a Rare “Notice of the Well” Incarnate Component.

    Edit : Compared some logs, the 34k inf actually is the inf bonus for that SF being the WST.
    According to the wiki, the merit reward is 26 merits. Shouldn't you have gotten 52?

    That said, WHAT HAPPENED? Is the WTF loot in addition to the regular reward at the end, or an alternative presented in the reward table? Since you're level 50, you didn't get the XP. Did you get a large amount of Inf?

    I supposed it's STF for heroes then.
    So how did things drop out for you? Are you level 51 now?

    Well, you're on track to be the first legitimate level 51 player of City of Heroes ever, so you've got that going for you, too.

  21. Hehe, I have one incarnate character.

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=251447]SEE!!!!

    I'm starting to find it funny that whenever a [insert thing here] is announced there are freak out threads that always say its coming out NAO! when it's not.

    Though it would be cool if the strike pack did that very thing tomorrow though.
    I'm starting to find it funny that whenever [insert people who have been here a long time and know an awful lot about the game] say something about the game, threads from people who clearly haven't and don't make fun of them. Well, actually it doesn't mean anything to me, I'm just poking fun. By the way, hope you're not too disappointed that I19.5 is live today.

    As far as I know, he shouldn't. The upper-tiers are being hand-waved. It'll be interesting to see how/when/if the non-forum playerbase learns of the mechanics and implementation.

    I was thinking it was some kind of separate script myself. IE, that they'll flip a toggle later today, when (or after) they officially announce 19.5.
