Almost put this in your other thread but it doesn't suit that

Sticking with the idea of an airport - a terrorist group has grabbed a load of hostages including a couple family members of high profile redside bosses. Your job is to get them out safe and well - raid on Entebe comes to mind at this point. Even better if there could be different ways to progress - the Diplomacy Route or the Military Strike would involve a lot more work in designing an arc/TF around this but woud brim more immersion to the plot and the idea that actions may have repercussions.

Yes I was thinking it might suit a higher level as well but am dfinitely of the opinion that we need more from GMs than just - its a big monster - lets gather a lot of people together and beat it up.

Spectral Pirates appear in Bloody Bay
Spetznaz are extremely rare either side and are the one I believe probably best fits the OPs questions - that is if you don't consider them to be Malta faction. Don't they appear rarely on some of the PI mishes.
Wyvern appear in RWZ mishes

How about Contaminated or Infected and for something slightly different
GM is dying - fast - and the players need to save him - rationalle for Heroes is straightforward but would need some good reason for Villains.
Need to get him up to full health before his Infection can be cured. A bit like a reverse Paladin Construction Site. Healing powers are the obvious way but buffs could slow the degen and other ATs could apply bandages, salves etc given out from a nearby ambulance - a bit like the Fire Chief in Steel, could also have other mobs that need to be kept back - Vahzilok, Infected, Contaminated would be the obvious choices here.

Definitely like the idea of a low level coop zone or a competitive non pvp zone where heroes and villains have different agendas - possibly both sides need to gain control of the zone but cannot risk chasing off the source of income from the civilians in it.
I'm not convinced over your choice of location - there are already 2 main airports in PC - Baumton Airport - just to the east of boomtown so not really much incentive to build another one a mile or so away. With a name like Rabonowitz I could see it being more appropriate being a renamed Skyway International - which is located between Skyway and Talos. In both cases the existing airports are closer to the coast and so more accessible to villains

Yes you're right I had the Infected and Contaminated reversed and was forgetting about the one in RV.
Lanaru - I can only recall seeing redside. - Ah no was forgetting about Storm Palace
tbh I couldn't remember if Shadow Freaks were their own or part of Void Hunters faction - I don't believe they came under freakshow but may be wrong.
I also realised after posting it Eohai spawns redside during the last two Hallowe'en events so maybe we should remove Fir Bolg from it as well - so did Werewolves ftm.
Outcasts are a story arc rather than a newspaper.

I was sure I had run across Axis America in one of the alternate universes but its the best part of 3 years since I did much of those mishes. 5th column had already disappeared.

Forgot about Hydra as well

There used to be a lot more enemy groups which were CoV specific but most have now made it blueside in zones It would be nice to see the reverse happening

Red Caps appear villain side during events. But not normally.

[/ QUOTE ]

They stay available after the event has ended once you unlock DJ Zero

TDD are also event based but they are only available during it

Also don't forget if you want a GM to get in touch then use /petition if you want to report a bug use /bug if you want both use both.

(are there any Hero only groups that don't appear in villains?)

[/ QUOTE ]

Infected, Shadow Freaks - more a merger of two groups really, Prisoners - those in the zig belong to their various factions, Cabal, Axis America, Empire Earth, Croatoa Ghosts, Fir Bolg - I'm sure I've missed a few

When you level up suffiently to be able to enter a PVP zone you will be sent to the liason by the first contact you talk to (except if you are in the middle of a mini arc in which case you will be sent after you complete it). You can talk to the liason without being sent to him and do not need to take his mishes.
The same applies in the case of hazard zones where you will be sent to the Security Guard for it but you will need to do his mish.
If you are getting old arcs you need to complete the arc so you can open up ones suited to your level. You should still be able to get non arc mishes from the other contacts though.
Check back through your old contacts and see if any of them will give you an introduction - you may need to work through a chain of them if the contact is very old though.

That link is a player written guide from two years ago - i.e. from before Castle admitted the Devs had misunderstood how taunt actually worked and so isn't totally accurate.
Try searching for Castle's description of how it works

Basically it amounts to Threat=Threat Rating*Taunt Duration Remaining*Damage done. (somewhat simplified)
Taunt itself (and Confront iirc) multiplies this by 1000
All tank and brute primary and secondary attacks have a taunt effect but duration varies.
This is also the reason it is possible under certain circumstances for another character (probably a blaster) to pull aggro off of a tank. - good luck doing this if the mob is actively taunted as opposed to being hit by taunt efeects form auras or attack powers.
Also threat is recalculated for every attack - it does not stack

The default bind to the Printscreen button will save them as jpgs. There is another command to save them as tgas but I cannot remember what it is.

Lost Ninja had posted a link to a list of all the slash commands but its currently broken unfortunately.

Oh and 'Scrapperlock' applies to anyone, not just scrappers. I've done it before and seen it before on defenders, controllers, stalkers, dominators...


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes except that if anything Doms are even more prone to it - domination up tends to make you think you are invulnerable

Or you could go villainside for the easiest 2 zeros going. Sigil and Kadabra Kill. I'm sure them being labelled as Hero must be a bug. Should be very easy on any build - they are very definitely the exception though.

[/ QUOTE ]Why would you be charged a selling fee, if the item doesn't sell!

Which is why its only charged if it does

So basically you want to lock a zone out to anyone that's not a Scrapper or Brute, two ATs that are very capable of taking part in pvp to start with. I know there's plenty say that they are at a disadvantage in pvp but sorry thats not my experience. They can close from outside most sqishies targetting range with SS/Quickness and two shot you before you can get a power to activate in response.
I'm sorry but this gets a very big thumbs down from me - if you want a scrapper/brute pvp match try the arena

Had this happen in the past.
There's a checksum file - can't remember exactly what its called - sorry. If it gets corrupted the installer will compare the files against it and find they don't match and download again. If you delete it the game should check all files when you ask it to and then fix any that are wrong.
If you uninstall and reinstall to the same folder it may not delete this. If no-one can tell you the name of the file a reinstall to a new folder should resolve it but much quicker to delete the file and then only need to download the corruped files.

are you out of range of it or stealthed as both will stop it accepting new orders

I had similar but I suspect its actually correct now.
Close to the closing date for US to EU transfer I had a few characters transferred and got the very pleasant surprise that all my US time was added to my EU time so I got 30 month vet award immediately, I also got my 33 month on its then due date (probably because it was paid for before transfer) but it took over a year more for my 36 month to arrive - about 38 months after starting on EU with no breaks). I'm guessing that it should be awarding them from the earlier of the two starting dates (assuming no breaks) which would be about correct for me and the adding of the full US time rather than the non overlapping time was an error made during the manual transfer.

Also if all you want is the badge then the exemp isn't necessary but if you are too high others won't get xp - often not a concern for badge mishes.

The ability to set mob loyalty depending on who gets attacked.

If you have two villain groups fighting each other and the PCs attack one but not the other then the 'rescued' group keeps fighting the other mob and not the pcs. i.e you get one group or the other as a temporary pet depending on your actions.

And that proves what? That's one raid/LGTF completion. ONE. And at just before 3 in the morning as well, so it doesn't even matter what server it's on by this point.

There's calls for this frequently on the badge channels and probably about 6-10 run every day on Union and a few on Defiant - more over the weekend as well.
Several times I've been at Lady Grey and there have been 2 or 3 teams forming sometimes more.

Yes I can remember getting a tell to help out a lvl 11 with their Lanaru mish full of lvl 40s and also when Consigliatories were dropping lvl 49-53 sings - this being before the level cap was raised from 40. But then again I did also get ambushed in IP with a load of lvl 1 family - I was somewhere in the 30s at the time and it was a new mish.

2) Petrifying Gaze: Range Hold
I do not think the corruptor version does damage, so some minor tweaking would be needed.

It does - just not a lot.
