Heh. I'm still expecting this to get changed soon enough.

The badge text is incorrect.

Then perhaps we get a very long list of names?

Online petitions do not work.

Inferno: Think of this power as Rain of Fire on Speed. Not to mention being buffable when I7 hits, there will be nothing left standing (again, if properly used).

[/ QUOTE ]

Inferno is a PBAoE, and as such, is already quite buffable.

I'm guessing you thought it was like Ice's Blizzard?

I use cityofheroesonline for my badge collecting and found these accolades:

Super Patriot - As a Super Patriot, you have been granted a permanent increase to your Max Endurance by 5.

Task Force Commander - As a Task Force Commander, you have been granted a permanent increase to your Max Hit Points by 5%.

There are more accolades there, but they have no names. Can you get this accolades yet, are there plans of them going live or what?

[/ QUOTE ]

Do not use CityOfHeroesOnline for badge collecting! It's very very out of date!!

Anyway, those accolades are unreleased/abandoned. They're not available.

[ QUOTE ]
Therefore I'm inclined to believe that there are no indicator's for giant monsters. I've now hunted down the Kraken, The Zeus Hercules, Adamastor, Paladin, and Lusca (and have seen several others at various points). Thier apperances are 100% random, period. No timelines, no amount of interraction with NPC's, no triggers, nothing. They spawn when the game feels like making them spawn. That's it. You are either lucky or unlucky with finding these things. That's about all there is to it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, if you mean the Kronos Titan, that is triggered. It's an ambush from a story arc.

[ QUOTE ]
Statesman is, yeah, an Invuln/SS tanker, at least according to what he uses in the Tyrant mission, and the CoV End-of-Beta event. As for Incarnates, being an Incarnate seems more like an Origin, not an Archetype, and as near as I can tell they're just supercharged versions of the existing ATs. Statesman is an Incarnate Tanker - still a Tanker, but better than any non-Incarnate Tanker. Recluse, also an Incarnate, has been said a few times to be a Mastermind, not tank-ish.

[/ QUOTE ]

We truly don't know what Incarnates are. Most people have been assuming they're special +ATs, just because Statesman is/was a Tanker and Recluse is/was a Mastermind.

Frankly, I could see both States and Recluse being anomalies to the whole thing, getting swept under the rug due to "signature powers".


And Airman, I call shenanigans, no offense.

Hey Posi -

I seem to recall somewhere that you were going to look into the Shadowshard Taskforces, about cutting them down from Ungodly Long to something more reasonable - and that you had an issue 7-8ish time frame for this.

Since these are the last TF badges I need still (and dont relish a 12 hour juant - I like the game, but not THAT much), I was wondering if there had been any foward progress on this? Since I havent heard anything, I'll guess that it's more Issue 8 than 7, right? Or has it fallen off the radar all together?

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither of my regular CoH sessions (Saturday night friends, Sunday morning family) have trouble with Task Forces. We start the task force, do two to three missions, log off, meet again next week, do two to three missions, log off, rinse, repeat as needed until the TF is done.

To make a TF reasonable, you just have to find a group of friends that you can reliably trust to meet every week at the same time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but the Shadow Shard TFs need a minimum of 8 people. That's a lot. And they're longer than most other TFs.

And at least one of them needs a minimum of 4, for simultaneous glowie clicking.

[ QUOTE ]
The ingame construction company, CAGE, uses the Cryptic Sutdios logo, which is a factory, not a castle. Still works, kind of, though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not that one. It was around during construction of either the Arenas or the Universities, I forget.

It's the same one used by the Gamester, which caused a fair bit of speculation on the forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

DevCon, a Red Rook encircled twice. DevCon built the Arenas, and their logo was then used by the Gamester during the Winter 05 event. They currently have an office or complex in Cap au Diable.

[ QUOTE ]
I've gotten this badge on a couple of different toons now. Once by the way described here,
preventing Paladin's construction. But I've also gotten it when a team I was on ran across
him AFTER construction. He was jogging through KR with a bunch of various Clocks with him
so we took him out, and voila! Badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounds like a bug...

Though it could be some obscure change that was never patch noted. *shrug*

[ QUOTE ]
Heroes created in April/May 2004 as well as being around last anniversary and this one should get something extra extra special too!

[/ QUOTE ]

I think efor those of us who have all the Halloween badges from 04. We should get an Accolade that lets us finally use those rubber-bats that never got used but are still implimented (along with the fake vomit)

That special enough for ya?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hahahahahaha no.

Can't let you do that, Starfox!

I seem to recall somebody saying that Valdermic also left. He was NCSoft, IIRC.

[ QUOTE ]
I wonder is you could get a badge from killing the roaming Arachnos Flyer? And who was that guy that tossed a grenade into that hole?

[/ QUOTE ]

1) Probably. Sounds like the Giant Monster for the zone.

2) That was a high-ranked Arachnos agent bombing the crap out of an Arachnoid nest.

[ QUOTE ]
Hey posi. On Badge-[censored].com there is a badge there that says Bug Finder(or something like that). The description is do an urgent bug report.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bug Hunter.

Right now it can only be awarded by Cryptic and/or the GMs, and only if you find a significant bug. It's been awarded a single time for a prestige exploit.

Posi has talked about possibly giving this out if you had previously been in beta for either game, so that may change.

Next time please do a search. I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before, and in this topic to boot.

I'm laughing at this thread necromancy.

The OP. I3 worst issue ever? Bwahahahahaha!

Wow. Considering I3 has been the best issue yet, IMO...

I think 199 was removed. And I know what 207 is, but I'm not allowed to say.

Otherwise I think it's right. Don't have the time to go and confirm every single questionable one though.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure how that happens. If you have Statesman's Pal and the story arc souvenier, then the only one you could possibly be missing is Anti-Matter, unless you did something dumb like go to the hospital right before your team took down the AV. You can't do Maria's story arc and miss any of the Praetorians. If you've double checked by trashing Anti-Matter again, might be time for a petition.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's my point. There's a lot of chances to screw up even outside of actual bugs. Not being in the mission at the right time, for whatever reason, is one such problem.

Though, maybe there is an issue with Bobcat and other AVs with crash powers.

[ QUOTE ]
As for Anti-Matter not counting... I thought the second time you face him he didn't self-destruct. So he'd be a reliable kill, you just need the proper mission. Maybe I'm wrong about that and always got lucky. (I'll add this to the issue list next update. He should either count all the time, or should have the "turn tail and run" code instead of "Anti-Matter has defeated Anti-Matter" destruct.)

[/ QUOTE ]

In the old days, I think he just exploded and disappeared. Now he does the special teleport animation (looks like a rez).

Of course, it would be best of it showed a message in the server log that said "Anti-Matter teleported away before you could get the killing blow. Looks like you'll have to wait for next time."

[/ QUOTE ]
I thought it was a fake Anti-Matter at least one of the times you fought him?

And silly me for suggesting people attempt to get Dimensional Warder at the proper level range. The story arc souveniers are a foolproof means of making sure you've trashed all the Praetorians, is all I'm sayin'...

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think it's a fake.

And frankly, I've heard lots of stories of people not getting DW even after going through both arcs.

There's a lot of variables involved. You can very easily not get DW and still complete the story arcs, you know.

Rocketman is occasionally not awarded after 10 launches. This is compounded by a lot of existing debate over its requirements. Possible causes would include if it's actually for 10 of one type of rocket (a simple confusion in requirements) or that the count resets if you zone. It's also possible there was a problem with the count resetting back when the 5-hour badges used to reset and people are trying to include old, forgotten launches in their current totals. In any case it would be useful to get a Dev's assurance that it's working OK from this point forward, and perhaps clarification on its requirements.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just picked up Rocketman the other day after launching 5 rockets (2 one week, 3 about a week and a half later). The badge was not awarded right away but I petitioned after launching the 5th and had a GM award it to me as I was leaving the zone.

San

[/ QUOTE ]

Woah. You got a GM to award a badge you rightfully earned?

I hate to sound so cynical and sarcastic, but it really is an achievement after the glut of "It's a bug, wait for it to be fixed and do it again"s.

Hmmm. I don't know about you, but from what I've heard (back when CoH had just been released) was that "Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls" was actually a part of a mission description back in the CoH Beta?

Don't think so.
