    At first glance, it seems confusing, disorganized and ugly. I'll have to see if it grows on me.
    The good news is, you can now Subscribe to the Group and/or "Discussions" so they will show up in your CP and make it easier for you to see if there is a new post.

    The bad news is, the original list of posts is now consolidated into a single thread, so it'd have to be edited so the title makes more sense, instead of just being the name of the group. lol

    My bad.. All this time and I never noticed (or forgot) that they stack in there.
    I guess I rarely ever have more than 1 of the same one either.


    Oops. Sorry!

    In that case, how did you guys dream up the idea using those? Were so many of them really so available?

    This. Thanks for reminding me about that.

    The ones you might see in Mercy and rarely in other areas of Paragon City are actually in a group called "Infected", so they wont count.

    As mentioned, they have to specifically be in the group called "Contaminated", and IIRC, besides the Tutorial and the above arc.. there might still be 1 (ONE) that spawns rarely (very rare) in Recluse Victory as well, so that's certainly not an ideal place to hunt for them. lol
  4. Yeah, now it's like having our own mini-forums.. I'm not sure if I like it.... yet. lol

    Not for nothing, but why would you trade a single item, when you could be making much faster progress with items that stack in piles of 10? lol

    How do i craft??

    Go to a crafting table located in a University or SG base.

    If you go to the University in Steel Canyon (or Cap au Diable), there is a Tutorial contact available that walks you through how to craft items as well.

    Once a set of wings are crafted, it will show up at the Tailor as a "Back" option.
    You only have to craft it once. When "unlocked"(crafted), it will always be an option in the tailor screen, but only for the character you created it with.
  7. The Ouroboros Initiation (25-50), given by Pilgrim, has an instanced mission in Outbreak with plenty of Contaminated to get the badge in 1 run. You're EX'd to lvl 1 while you do it, but the good news is the new SSK feature lets you keep your first couple powers as well.
    (Plus, the Nemesis Staff or Sand of Mu takes them out in one shot!) lol
    Outbreak

    Not only that, but there is also a mission in the same arc to easily aquire the Shivan badge as well. Depending on what your current progress looks like and how well you can solo these foes, you may need to increase your mob spawn and/or reset the mission a couple of times to get enough for the badge though.
    Defeat source of Shivan attacks

    Enjoy!

    What about player_name or health bars? I usually have my options to "Always Show," so I'd probably still notice floating words coming nearby. lol

    On a side note, if you really think it's an exploit, you aren't suppose to advertise it here, but quietly bring it to a Dev's attention instead.

    If you get someone to farm with you, you can use just about any low-demand stuff to sell back and forth between yourselves for a higher than normal price.
    I think i used this as well, combined with a handful of Potion or something, depnding on what was available at the time.

    What I did:
    Stacked about 6 piles of 10 for sale, then put up 6 piles of 10 bids to buy them.
    Switched to my other screen and picked up the 6 stacks that were bought, then put them right back up for sale, then put up 6 more stacks of bids.
    Switched back to the first toon and... well you get the idea. lol

    Hitting print-screen will give you a UI-less screenshot, every time.
    Hitting shift+print-screen will give you a UI-full screenshot, every time.

    No goofy workarounds to deal with.
    Just for fun, I did this:
    /bind sysrq "screenshotui 0$$screenshot$$screenshotui 1$$screenshot"

    That takes 2 pictures every time, one with the ui, and one without.
  12. nope. I've been looing for a way myself. I even went as far as changing the cursor textures inside the game, and it ends up truncating my image to the smaller size anyway.

    As far as losing the cursor, some people suggest right-clicking so the menu pops up and shows you where your cursor is, or use the Windows hot-key thing that puts a recticle around the cursor at the press of a certain button.

    I can't remember specifically, but last time we ran it, there were some small numbers appearing once in a while as well as the constant for the particle canon. One person said he was using the Thermite Canon on it, a scrapper was attacking it with their Primary powers, and we had an Illusion Control on the team as well. As far as the Illusion goes, it's hard to say if the damage was "imaginary", or if it was from confusing the rikti an/or the tentacles.. or if it didn't have anything to do with that toon at all.

    I'd have to run again and do more testing to find out, but we were happy to take the head down in only 2 "waves", instead of getting stuck with only a little bit left and having to defeat the generators for a third time like usual. I usually grab a Particle cannon and focus my time on spamming that as much as possible, so I don't know how other powers might affect it.
  14. To expand on this thread, the character limit is from 3 to 20, including spaces and special symbols.
    The title "The" does not count toward this limit, and your name cannot start with the word "The" or it will automatically vanish and be replaced by the Title selection of the word "The" instead. lol
  15. I've never seen anything affect the amount of damage it deals on the head, but I've seen a couple other things besides that single power cause it damage, even though they aren't supposed to.
  16. Sounds like a memory error to me. I'd check your RAM. Make sure it's still seated correctly and run tests on it.

    Any QA Left?

    That depends what the initial purpose of the patch was for, and whether or not it was tested in-depth to see how it affected the other areas of the game and/or in other possible circumstances.

    It's obvious that thousands of players are going to find problems a lot easier than a couple dozen people on the test server. That, and sometimes thing happen to features once they go live as well.
  18. Well Base Raiding isn't dependent on the CoP, but you are still right.. both of them are inactive... and the latest base editing changes make most current bases un-raidable and would have to be re-edited to the previous rules anyway.

  20. You can watch objects and power effects disappear while looking through the portal symbol in PI as well.
  21. Well I've got next month's ready for you on schedule..

    Here is December 2009:

    December 2009 CoV Calendar


    December's Calendar features our old friend Hami, located in The Abyss.

    (IIRC, I took that picture during a LGTF though. lol)

    Enjoy!

    If I'm not mistaken, that arc is the only place they are found (besides the ITF).
  23. Is that the Arc with Requiem in it?

    If you mean they are not releasing pets.. it may be because those cysts are actually objects (like the ones in the ITF) and don't act the same way the random Kheld spawns do. Those are simply destructible objectives and wont spawn pets under any circumstances.
