Still if the Devs decide to go back and review criteria for all the non AE badges, I would hope that the epics are included, along with Illusionst badge and a few others.

[/ QUOTE ]
Illusionist used to be 200. The last time they 'reviewed' it, they raised it to 500.

[ QUOTE ]
Aku - one exception to that is I know various people who use the Taser (as well as the magic origin power) to light their oil slicks.

[/ QUOTE ]
I have a second reason to use it. Or, rather, I USED to. Before I got the vet reward (Blackwand/Nemesis Staff), I had some characters with no ranged attacks if they exemped and lost their epic pool. I would use the origin power for pulling.

A store nearby is selling new boxes of apparently older releases of the game - Good vs. Evil edition, even the original box. I realize that these boxes won't contain the latest update like the Architect edition, but they are pretty cheap ($10 or so).

[/ QUOTE ]
BUY! BUY! BUY!
The Good vs Evil box set gives you:
1) The Good vs Evil 'goodies' (powers and costumes) - normally costing $10.
2) One free month - normally costing $15.
SUPER BARGAIN!


[ QUOTE ]
Does the included game time in these old boxes still work for the game? Once you subscribe, can you use the codes from the old boxes to get additional months of game time, or are they limited to new accounts?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, the free month from the older sets still works.
Yes, you can use the codes from older box sets on an existing account to get the free month, *BUT* only once for each version. So you could buy Good vs Evil box ONCE and get the free month. You could also buy the Architect box ONCE and get a second free month.

They used to work just fine, and I used them.
They were broken in November.

[ QUOTE ]
As you continue to ignore that the difficulty will remain the same (minimum 7 team members means all spawns stay set for 7 members even if you're solo) you will continue to lack any punch with the statement "the task will be degraded."

[/ QUOTE ]
um, are you aware that they do NOT work this way now?
If you start a task force with a minimum of 7, and then 5 quit the TF, it will spawn for two.

[ QUOTE ]
Could somebody please tell me if the endurance [censored] that is this set combo worth it? My character is 14, and I just can't do ANYTHING due to lack of end. Of course I'll pick up stamina at 20, but I don't know if I can make it there.

[/ QUOTE ]
1. Lots of AT's suck before you get Stamina.
2. Most of them suck before you get SO's or better.
3. My shield/axe tank (lvl 45) runs 7 toggles now and kicks major butt.

P.S. Even at low levels, I don't recall this guy being worse than any other tanks I've had.

[ QUOTE ]
My SG mate is telling me when they click my name, they get the message that I'm hidden, when I have no hide options checked.

This happens occasionally. The easiest solution is to type /unhideall in your chat window.

Of course, 384 MB Ram doesn't go as far these days as it use to....

[/ QUOTE ]

Not trying to hijack the thread but you play with 384MB of memory?

[/ QUOTE ]
No. He says in the OP he has 2GB. Not sure what that 384 was in reference to.


To the OP: Have you actually opened Task Manager to see *WHAT* is eating your RAM? It might not be CoH.

[ QUOTE ]
More people play on freedom that aren't farming than actually play on the other servers total. Freedom badge and freedom tf global channels as well as the right supergroup can find people that play the game.



[/ QUOTE ]

Hyperbole much?

Freedom has a lot of players, but more than the total of all other servers? I think not.

[/ QUOTE ]
To be fair, what I THINK the above phrasing intended to say is:
Freedom has more non-farmers that any other single server has total players.
I can't say if this is true, but it does at least seem possible.

[ QUOTE ]
I have this power "taser dart" which is listed as a Temporary Power in my Power window. It doesn't show up in my Manage Enhancements window and I don't seem to be able to add enhancements. This taser dart is often wildly inaccurate so I'd like to be able to give it some accuracy. What is a temporary power? Is it going to go away? And is there no way to improve it?

[/ QUOTE ]
That particular 'temporary' power will never go away. There are a great many temporary powers that really are temporary. None of them, nor the veteran attack powers, can be enhanced.

*HOWEVER*
There are two ways to make them more accurate.
1) IO set bonuses which give increased accuracy. These bonuses are on *YOU* and apply to all attacks.
2) Powers like Tactics, Focused Accuracy, Build Up, etc.

My level 50 scrapper has the Ghost Slaying Axe as part of his regular attack chain against various enemies since he hardly ever misses with it (Tactics and Kismet +accuracy unique IO).

My emp took dark blast. Firstly, there's the whole light/dark, life/death duality. Then you have all those accuracy debuffs so you don't need to do so much healing - plus an AoE stun.

The theory is about unconscious primate ques

[/ QUOTE ]
What do you think those unconscious queues would lead to in human behavior?

[/ QUOTE ]
Guys, the word is "cue".
Que is not a word (in English).
A queue is a line.
A cue is a signal.

[ QUOTE ]

"Worthwhile" is purely subjective. I've found your arguments to not be "worthwhile". There's a ton of content in the game that you can partake in solo, just because you want to do something doesn't make it a good reason to be implemented.

[/ QUOTE ]

and vice versa.

Bill makes a much better case for opening up TFs than others do for keeping them gated.

[/ QUOTE ]
I disagree. I think some content should keep minimum team requirements just to be different. I would agree that many of the minimums should be lower, and some should be eliminated completely. But *SOME* should keep a high minimum size.

Without thinking about every TF/trial, I'd say it's probably a third of each for:
- eliminate the restriction
- reduce the minimum
- keep it exactly the way it is

Greater flexibility is good. Homogeneity is not.

From ParagonWiki.com about the Multidimensional badge:

"Multidimensional is awarded for completing either of two missions to the Hydra dimension given out by Tina Macintyre or a similar mission given out by Unai Kemen. "

"The easiest way to get this badge is by way of Flashback Arc but you need to be level 46-50. Go to any Flashback Crystal either in Ouroboros or your Super Group base, select the Category "Hero of the City (Level 46 - 50)", then select the Arc named "To Save a Thousand Worlds". The Multidimensional Badge can be obtained from the first mission in this Arc called '5.1 Find the missing scientists'. You do not get the badge just from entering the mission, you must complete the objective then upon exit you will receive the badge."

[ QUOTE ]
You have to "claim" the item under Vet badges. The power's data:

Activation: 1.5s
Recharge: 5m0s
Accuracy: 1.00x (It'd be funny if a map could have a DEF against this)

[/ QUOTE ]
Five month recharge???
Oh, 5 minutes, 0 seconds. Carry on.

(Yes, I really did read it as 5 months initially.)

Or if you have another application that is on top of the CoH window (like my mp3 player), you can click on that, then alt-tab to whatever app you want.

[ QUOTE ]
So, that's the player trigger for that event?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, but it's not just 'trade in salvage' --> 'zombie attack'. There's a bit of randomness to it. The current consensus seems to be that each trade-in has about a 15% chance of calling zombies.

[ QUOTE ]
It's to the point where I am forced to either solo or team in AE farm missions to level up.

[/ QUOTE ]
We hear this "I can't find a team." a lot. The real question is, exactly what are you doing to find a team? I have zero problem finding teams. I do AE arcs with my SG about twice a month and don't set foot in there the rest of the time.

People are still doing regular missions an *ALL* of the servers. I can't imagine why you would be having problems on Justice. Justice and Infinity battle it out for 3rd busiest server. I'm on Infinity and have no problems finding teams.

1. Get out of Atlas Park.
2. Loiter in level-appropriate zones.
3. Join some of your server badge/task force/raid channels.
4. Join an active SG that doesn't live in AE.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm pretty safe in saying that'd account for about 99.9% of the playerbase at this point. Let's just say no one's talking about setting up AFK farms in the badging channels I'm involved with right now. *shrugs*

Any SG badge goofiness like you described is therefore your own problem.

[/ QUOTE ]
eh, I think more than .1% of the playerbase has altruistic tendencies. Look at PCSAR and the Taxibots.

[ QUOTE ]
So I have to buy the game - AGAIN, just for one little thing? Lame.

[/ QUOTE ]
Is it? The GvsE pack normally goes for $10. If you buy the boxed version you also get a free month ($15). If you can find it for under $25 (which is EASY), it's a bargain.

If you still think it's lame, don't buy it. Problem solved.

Can we start with the wisecracks about being only half a character now, or do we have to wait until Saturday?

Well, visually, the shields look exactly the same whether you have one or three on you. It seems to only actually draw ONE and the new system could work the same way.

With all the hoopla about the cool stuff coming in i16, I have to note that it says nothing whatsoever about anything in the way of new story.
