He probably just typed the command without following it with a name (or $target) after it.

Without a target, it would have given him an error saying the command is not recognized.

"/get_local_name" and other commands will give you an error saying it's incorrect usage, but that one doesn't for some reason.

If you wanted to shorten it even further, you could bind/macro only 1 command instead.

/macro XP optiontoggle noxp

Pressing the same key/macro will turn it off and on, depending on your current status. It should notify you in your System chat what the current status is after you press the key.


I use the same type of thing for locking the icons in my powertray so I can keep them locked, but then also quickly and easily unlock them to add/move temp powers when I get them, or new powers when I level up, or any other time I might need to move something quickly:

/bind KEY optiontoggle disabledrag

...which is another reason why we need the ability to make TFs harder back again.

I loved running the Freakshow Respec Trial on Invincible, but the current level it runs at is so easy that you end up standing around waiting for every wave to come. I spend the time setting my timer for the next spawn and going to get a drink or take a bio break inbetween each one. haha

I'm not sure what the OP's personal best time is, or what the best time on the server is, but when I was running these several times a night last year.. we'd regularly get under 30 minutes. With a shaky team it'd be closer to 40, and with a streamlined team of regulars, we'd get closer to 20. I think my best personal time was actually 19:54... the only time I got sub20, and I started doing other things in the game after that. lol

Which would suck if you were a Villain on a team of Hero friends wanting to go PvP.. cause you wouldn't be on the right side...

Actually I think I just solved it in my head...
They could easily(?) just decide which side you are on depending on which side you entered the zone from.

For example:
If you enter RV from Atlas, you'd be put on the Hero's side, but if you enter RV from Grandville, you'd be a Villain, regardless of your AT or current alignment status.

That could work.

Well.. if you don't fully switch, then you'll have access to both sides.. which is probably what most people are going to do so as new stuff is released, they can access it and get the badge.

The only exception is if there are specific badges for completely switching, or staying completely switched, or what those rewards will be.. then maybe we'll fully switch, and then switch halfway back to have access to both sides again. lol

On a side note.. I just thought of this...
What would happen if somebody who has access to both sides enters a PvP zone?

More than likely they are still there.. maybe even still tracked.. but probably just hidden.. so maybe they can remove the block and people will suddenly get a few of them on the day of release, and we'll keep them when we switch sides.

*crosses fingers.

In the HeroCon video, and on forums, (and players already know) that badges have both a Hero and Villain name for them.. which will change when you switch sides.

The video also said that will only be able to have 1 set of accolades... but did not specify whether or not it meant the power itself would change when we did, or if the badges required toward the accolades is dependent upon your original or current side.. or if you can earn both accolade badges but only be given the power from the first one.. or how else it might work.

You have obviously been on my team before.. oh.. wait.

lol

I thought that was "fixed"?

Edit:

Hmm.. That's commonly due to some sort of a firewall.
If that doesn't work.. try the following page to find out about downloading and using CoH's Network Tool:
I am able to log in to the game, but I cannot connect to the server.

I think the maintenance period is long over with today. I've been on for a couple hours already.. If the OP can't get in right now, the OP might be having a different issue?

I'm on Freedom, which is the most populated East Coast server by the way.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you can. You can still get Strength of Will and Iron Will as well.

I'm sure that would be the case. If the auto-kill earns credit, logic tells you that the counter value would eventually be reached. WL spawned toward the end of my stay there, but I was only there long enough to grab my 100 gifts, and leave. I never claimed to have accumulated the whole zone's counter by myself. I was just saying that the auto-kill probably counts, and you might not have to go out of your way to purposely defeat them.

Regardless if other people had contributed to the zone's counter earlier in the night (by killing them or not), I was still solo/alone when it happened.. and if the auto-kill does give credit, then anybody trying hard enough could possibly stay in a zone long enough (hours or not) to exceed the value without help from anybody, and without ever having to kill anything.

On a side note, without being able to personally keep track of it reliably, and without knowing exactly what the zone's counter is on at any given time... I suppose there is still some matter of personal chance as far as being in the right zone and clicking a present at the right time when the counter has reached the right value.
