It just seems like forever ago when we got the pre-download, or it could just be my anticipation of I19.

Same here. Wonder if the pre-download had the AE patch in it already?

It's a definite maybe.

They haven't announced it is definitely I19, but it does seem very likely. The only other thing that it could possibly be is a fix for an AE exploit that is currently being, well, exploited.

I just did this map a week or so ago, and it was not on Unai's arc. As it is not a badge mission either, I don't think it is in OB.

Of course, I may be totally wrong on this. I just remember checking on whether it was on the arc, and being surprised when Unai did not have the book symbol by his bar.

I'd love this. My main is an Ice/Ice Blaster who uses SS and the Prestige Slide to best emulate my thoughts, where she is gliding over a thin sheet of ice to travel fast. I'd love skating!

Unfortunately, it doesn't always fix it. While waiting for a zombie invasion to occur, I was badging in different zones. At one point they got stuck, and I tried zoning to three different zones. I even logged out for 2-3 minutes to try to get them released. When I logged back in, they were still there, stuck.

I eventually just switched to another character for the night. 10-15 minutes of trying to get your minions to move or release was just too frustrating.

It's been going on longer than the Halloween event for sure; it's been a PITA trying to move my MM around to respond to zone events.

Good to know about the macro, will have to get that in my tray. Thanks, Late!

True, they do it on occasion, where the greater need is met. However, they don't kill everyone they fight, as GMan3 is suggesting is happening in-game.

LOL. I wasn't ignoring it, just pointing out the fallacy of your argument.

Fine, to put it succinctly:

1. You compare this to a police officer. Fine, I can accept that. However, police officers do not have access to the skills and technology that the game grants us. WE HAVE OPTIONS THAT THE POLICE DO NOT HAVE.

2. Yes, in my original post, I noted that Vigilantes, Villains, and Rogues may kill their foes. But Heroes do not. Even if you point out people like the Punisher, Ghost Rider, etc., note that they are always referenced as a Anti-hero. So, while the "gangbangers" and the like may kill normal beings, we as Heroes would be more survivable.

3. The fact that the Hospital technology can find us no matter where we are, means that the city keeps tabs on all super powered beings. As such, we can infer that they keep an eye on vitals and teleport you away before the killing blow can be dealt. My guess has always been that a tag is in our body that will teleport us away when we are defeated. As for ingame examples, there are several examples where the boss will teleport away when they reach a certain health level, such as Antimatter.

Now, I'm not sure why you are taking this personally and attacking people over it, but really, it's just a game. I see it in the way I want to; why do you consider it important enough to call me (and others) out on it?

Granted, but they would be both be in poor taste.

And those women killed weren't witches.

I really don't consider myself to be a warm and fuzzy person, but thanks for thinking of me as such.

As for reality? It's a game with super powered beings, with powers that could be described as god-like. Pretty far from reality IMO.

A better example is this: what if you were awarded a badge named Auschwitz for defeating 5th Column? Would that be considered acceptable? You would be defeating Nazis, and you would be rewarded a badge named for something that the Nazis used to persecute and kill people.

I honestly don't care if the badge is changed or not; just wanted to provide a proper analogy to the question.

I can verify it; put a 4th toon through it and selected the Trusting award while in non-SG, and I got the 100k. No biggie either way; just kind of odd.

Unfortunately, it's the first time. I'm running these missions 5 times on several of my toons, just clicking each option once to get the badge, and then moving on to next until I get the accolade. So far, on 3 different toons that were in SG mode, I only received 50k when selecting the option that includes the Trusting badge, instead of 100k mentioned in the text box.

Anybody else notice this? On my next toon, I'll try it out of SG mode.

True enough, but I'm not sure that there is a subsection of people devoted as purple suppliers. Besides hero merits, is there any way to obtain a purple IO except random? Or can you even get them with hero merits? (Can't honestly remember right now.)

Yes, playing the game more often will get you more chances to obtain a purple, but being a farmer does not necessarily equate that you get more purples. But, I don't want to get into a debate on what random really means; there's already been a lot of threads on this anyway.

Another example is this: right now, there is a real low supply of Regenerating Flesh on the market; less than 100 for sale right now, which is unusual for a high level common salvage. Less 50s are playing right now, which means less Flesh getting to market. (That just sounds naughty. )

My thoughts? Just that we have less 50s playing right now, so we have a lower supply. Players are levelling their Praetorians/lower levels or just not playing until I19 or some other reason; I'm not sure. I'm no expert by any means; just trying to explain things by what I see.
