As I was collecting exploration badges today, I grabbed "Broken Mind" which said I was underneath MoM, but trying to fit the underground map to the topside one didn't really help in tracking it down.

Where exactly is MoM? The closest thing I could find was a particularly tall and prominent building in Four Gables, but that didn't seem right. Is it even on a map somewhere?

Edit: Context clues indicate that it's not on the map. Strange though that the badge pegs it as somewhere around Tiberian Bluff or the Four Gables.

There's a highway leading out of Imperial City at the south end of the zone that got me the badge. Though I may have been helped by lag.

Any slotting tips then? I was planning on some combination of accuracy, end mod, and healing, but I'm not sure how much I'd get out of upping the regen in particular.

I'm cool with this idea, though I'm also one of the folks who feels that the storage banks are a pointless timesink to begin with.

Professor is available for logging out in the CDEC in Imperial City.

Does anyone know if they play nice together, or will the proc stun me as well as/instead of enemies?

Thanks!

My general guideline is that the character should usually be the opposite faction-wise than they are in Earth Prime (so villains become Resistance, heroes to Loyalists), but everything else is open-ended.

In short, Praetoria is not "opposite world" it's "what if the heroes were villains and vice versa?" world. It's rather fun seeing exactly how you can twist your characters towards the other side.

Plus, if you want to really strive for authenticity, you have to keep in mind that Praetoria's backstory is massively different from Earth Prime's. Lots of things that happened in Paragon didn't in Praetoria, as well as the reverse. This could lead a character to being incredibly different or incredibly similar.

I think the real revolution here is that you don't need to unlock said NPC costume parts via a badge, or a TF, or a broken merit system.

Quick update. Tonight I turned off dynamic shadows, going back to normal stencil ones. Played a good number of hours with no lock-ups.

Whether they're the direct cause, or if they just help memory usage to balloon out quicker I don't know.

GTX 260 w/ latest drivers.

Same exact symptoms. Flickering graphics, lots of crashes. Best I can tell on the crash front, it's a memory leak, and once you try and do something that draws a new screen (entering missions, entering or exiting buildings, enhancements, training up) it'll crash.

I mitigated the leak by turning dynamic shadows all the way down to lowest quality, but it'll still eventually happen. Kind of annoying when Virtue constantly has a queue..

Is anyone else getting constant crash issues with the game post-GR?

Seems like if I try to do anything related to the screen blanking and redrawing (entering missions, entering or exiting buildings like the CTA, entering the ID screen, or entering the powers screen from a trainer) it has a decent chance of locking up the game. Worse, while I could occasionally get the crash prompt before, now the game won't even give me that so I can't directly report it.

For the record, this is happening even outside of Praetoria. And I'm running the latest nvidia drivers.

Edit: Best I can tell, it's a memory leak. Just had to force close the process again and it was using over 1,000,000 K memory.

Hopefully they show up once the online store comes back online. But yeah, throwing in another "free slots never appeared".

When I wasn't crashing for no reason, it worked fine.

Except most of the problems with the older TFs is that their mission structure is lame. Making the Clockwork King more interesting to fight will not entice me to put up with the tedium of Synapse's TF.
