    Wow, SO not even in the ballpark.

    I think you're thinking of Peter Tork, but Michael Nesmith was the Monkee whose mother invented Liquid Paper.

    Auto switch?

    At least three of us have tested this, and no, it does NOT auto-switch. The badge offered to Villains (and Rogues) is Arriviste, and the badge offered to Heroes (and Vigilantes) is Trusting.

    If you switch alignments (all the way over) and do another Halloween Tip mission, you are then offered the appropriate badge as per the above -- but (as it clearly states in the reward text) it REPLACES the other badge.

    So currently at least there is no way to have both Arriviste and Trusting on the same toon.

    Friend then copies what you sent, and pasting it into notepad, and saving it using the same naming convention as all other saved costumes.

    That's how I've done it.
    That seems more complicated than it has to be -- why not just attach the text file to an e-mail, and the recipient simply downloads the text file to the appropriate 'costumes' folder?

    Same here, I've clicked on Beef's link several times over the last couple of days, and haven't had any issues whatsoever.

    Were you SK'd at the time? I believe there's a bug currently that is barring the awarding of the actual costume temp power, but still assigns the credit for the "phantom" drop to the toon.

    It's causing people to have to solo (at least for a short while) on their toon before teaming and having a chance to be costumed (and thus have a chance to receive the Halloween Tip as a drop) while ToTing.

    4 of them, actually.

    Correct -- it MUST be completed the old-fashioned way.

    And my vote is for GW just based on a combination of playability and storyline. If you are picky about the badge title, though, give some thought there.

    Small nitpick, it's a 20-hour period, not 24. Which is actually very nice.

    It's not that big an issue but I just wanna know why it's doing that. =/
    Because the badge art is just borked. I'm sure they'll patch it when they can get around to it.

    On the servers where they are run with regularity, that's exactly what they are.

    Anyone becoming a full villain can get any of the red-side Day Job badges (you can also get progress toward them as a tourist, but you just won't receive the badge until/unless you change over completely). Same for the opposite case (villain going blue-side).
  15. Also note that one Gladiator badge (5th Columnist) is not available to a newer toon, because it is gained by having CoH Anniversary badges...

    Why they decided to make this sort of thing with GR in place is beyond me. I thought we were past "static" badges by now...
    Okay, gotcha BR, just wanted to make sure you weren't expecting both badges. Can completely understand preferring the title.

    I ran the Halloween Tip again, as a Hero, and I had the option to get the Trusting badge, and another 100,000 Inf. I took it, and Trusting replaced Arriviste.

    So, it's not an automatic change. You have to manually decide to change the badge, and run the appropriate side Hallween Tip Mission. Otherwise, the name stays as-is, regardless of side-switching. Once the Halloween Event ends, you'll be locked into that badge until the next years Halloween Event.
    Confirmed with my Rogue-to-Hero Brute as well. So the option seems to be tied to alignment and "resets" with it if changed.

    Are you sure you read Kheldarn's post closely? You can't have both badges, one replaces the other -- so unless you prefer the other side's title, switching does not net you anything (other than another 100K inf).

    I'm testing exactly that, but it takes 2+ days to move a toon from side to side. When I have an answer I will post it (and update my comments on the wiki page).

    Congrats -- but -.1 for lack of top hat and monocle!

    I could of course be mistaken, but I definitely was left with a "that's not worth it" impression. *shrugs*
    Correct, Lothic, it's 5K, not 50K.
  21. I had 14 purples drop while I read this thread -- true story!!!!

    ...but only if you are wearing some type of costume at the time you 'knock' on the door for your Treat (convention costumes will work as well as the ones received from ToTing).

    Exactly. At this point, if you've chosen three total respec rewards, you are out of luck on any further (and thus, 1 or more of the other respec badges).

    Whether it is ever altered is anyone's guess (and at this point only the devs potentially know for sure, and I doubt it's even on their radar).

    Oh, how true that is! I HATE that warning -- being able to disable it only temporarily is not sufficient, it needs to have a permanent disable option.
  25. Wow, you guys need to keep up with patch notes, a lot of QoL fixes went into the markets with I18.
