    Holes in game

    OH.. I dont' know how I forgot.. you can get under the Orenbega Cave maps also. There is a glitch in the sliding door.. the one that you usually have to open for the Boss room.

    According to the Wiki:
    * Heroes at Security Levels 5-15 will need to complete three (3) Police Scanner mission in order to get assigned to a Safeguard mission.
    * Heroes at Security Levels 16+ will need to complete five (5) Police Scanner mission in order to get assigned to a Safeguard mission.
  3. Good luck. Best Wishes, and Congratulations!

    See you soon.

    Yes, it's still there, and you don't even need to TP. You can just jump or fly through it.

    As far as Croatoa is concerned.. You are right, the instanced maps are usually pretty easy, but the actual Zone usually has a floor or wall blocking. The hole is located in the SE corner.

    Here is a sneak peek at all of Sally's glory from "under water". lol

    Sally has no feet or flippers of any kind?

    That's for active accounts... It the OP takes a break.. they can still lose their items.. hence the useful advice to clear the market.

    Sc00ped! That's what I get for watching YouTube! lol

    Seriously, it was Montague Castanella's "Investigate the Lost and Rikti's involvement" mission, the instance was one of those sandy caves that leads to a Rikti interior, and the random scattered Lost dudes in the tunnel were sitting around panhandling. Maybe they were just practicing, I dunno.
    I saw that too. I found it odd.

    Edited for spelling.

    haha thanks. I don't know how I find these things, but that was too good to resist posting. I even made it my avatar temporarily.

    I really have to say that I am glad KK found you all. You guys and gals make the game fun for me again.
    We're glad to have you both.

    I've already hosted MoITF successfully quite a few times, including test runs before the badge even went Live. You're right about learning a lesson. 99% of the time, I use Tabby (my Tanker) for the ITF. She's infamous there.. so we kinda get spoiled in that regard and take the TF for granted. It's usually such cake! I realize how important that aspect is now, and I'll make sure we have it on the team next time we run it... even if I have to switch back to that character to ensure a victory for us.

    See you then

  11. Use speed to your advantage and keep moving so you get there early.

    Kill the 5th so they can't kill the council.

    Use targeting binds if you have to.

    An easy way to find him is to look at the colored sections of your map. The crazy unorganized set of buildings in the water on the right side (called The Gaspee) has a RED boundary line. Simply go to the Northernmost point of that area and the contact is right in the middle. You can't miss him... especially once a bunch of us start gathering around.

    NP. I know it doesn't address the specific issue, but I wanted to make sure you were aware that you can still block that soft of behavior.. however inconvenient it might be.

    ... and I'm realizing that Balloon is also spelled wrong in the command line, but that seems to be the way the Dev's spelled it, so I guess that's something else to /bug? lol

    Really? if the game is that dead, why are you posting here?

    I dunno where you hang out, or what you are up to lately, but I was part of a 3 team MoITF event tonight, and it was really fun.

    The game is not dead... and since the AE nerfs, I've actually seen MORE new faces on our TF runs lately.

    WIN!
  15. You can already use multiple display if you have an extended desktop. Use windowed mode and just expand the coh window into the other displays... but ur right, it doesn't improve your field of view. That large and that high of a rez.. well.. that's just insanity! haha
  16. You can turn the chat bubbles off too.

    I know, I know, "WHAT IF I LIKE BUBBLES IN GENERAL?" Well, I'm sorry. It's your only other workaround until it's "fixed"... other than start hanging around a different group of people. lol

    Oro Portal bug

    We discussed it in another thread.. I'll look for it:

    Before I do, I'll note that I can indeed confirm what the OP is saying. During testing on Heroside, the Ouro portal would not summon while EX'd.. be it on a regular mission, TF, or flashback. If I left the team or TF, the portal appeared normally. I'll note that it hasn't broken 100% of the time though... Strangely enough, the only time I've had it work while EX'd was during my Numina TF the other night. haha(irony)

    Edit:
    Here it is: I16 Ouroboros portal bug

    Yeah. It was weird seeing them zip around so fast using that type of walk, but yet the ones moving slow were always just walking normal. It would have been better if the slow ones used the "sneaking" animation... and I hope it's brought back that way.

    And I think the new Frankenstein walk is cool too. You should check out DA some time.
  19. Sorry guys! I tried my best to lead us to victory, but it didn't make up for what the team was lacking.
    I don't even want to put my name on this one.. I have a reputation you know! haha j.k

    MB's MoITF Team:


    The Brute was a little squishy, so we had to take it slower and extra careful to watch each other's backs. We had several close calls in the first couple missions, but we got our act together for the third. I pulled the Gens down the hill with Robin (Eye of Magus FTW), and we defeated the robots as they became operational as well. I then pulled the AVs down and we took them each out.

    Last mission seemed OK at first. We defeated the initial ambush and we went to my usual hill mob and took them out. Then I popped a couple purple and orange Inspirations and "broke" Rom and pulled him back to the hill.. where the Brute finally and instantly died, followed by Myrdinn, ending our chances at "Master of.." Revenant went "lobster" and tanked Rom for the remainder and we took him out easy. Thinking back, that probably would have been a better idea to start with anyway. lol

    I believe the last 2 deaths came later when we were goofing off killing Cimerorans on the roofs. I believe Storm went down one more time, and then CP at one point as well.

    Even though we didn't get the badge, it was a fun and challenging night, so it wasn't a total loss. Great job everybody! I promise I'll bring Tabby next time.

    Then there were the Arachnos maps on release. ugh. Mobs falling down, me fallign through, what a pain. /petition and wait, since I think I was out of Recall Friend range (no "assemble the team" available,) or log out and back in.
    There are still holes in the many arachnos maps... in the ceiling of almost every elevator room. I've bugged it several times.

    And here is the "Matrix Room" you are referring to under the arena. I featured it in one of my calendars:

    June 2009 CoH Calendar


    And it IS still possible to get there. There are several methods of getting there. One of them isn't even by using the hole in the map, but exploiting a game mechanic with doors instead. I brought a "Tour" there just last night as a matter of fact.. as well as under Croatoa.

    (Don't worry, I don't leave anybody stranded. I let people know ahead of time that there is a possibility of getting stuck if they don't have Ouro portal, and I always offer to TP them out if they don't have one of their own.)

    I didn't mean to imply that Lusca's arms regenerate. That's clearly not true. Respawning arma was my idea to implement into the Starfish to make it slightly harder/different, since Starfish can regrow their arms when they break off, it'd make sense.

    And yes, I'm aware starfish can have several arms, but I'd guess the Dev's would keep it at 5 for simplification.

    Either way, it's all pure speculation and goofing around, so it doesn't really matter. lol

    Well, next time you are at the Supergroup Registrar, you can sort the Top 100 list by prestige and see my name listed in the Description of the group at the #1 spot.

    I have to admit though...
    I did not create the group.
    I did not cheat to get the prestige, but it's likely the previous owner used an exploit to earn that much. I believe there were certain items that sold for more than you could buy them for, and so it's just a matter of repeating it over and over until you have a nice large stash. A couple other groups on the list seem to have done the same thing before it was fixed. I'm surprised the prestige was never taken away though.

    I co-ran a successful Villain group and had my own successful Hero group for a long time and have about 30M to spare on each of those as well, so.. I had nothing to prove to myself by doing the same thing on Villainside, so I don't mind having the freebie base/group. I guess part of the reason i never actually built a huge base was in case the prestige was ever finally taken away. haha

    Joke

    OP: Just so you are aware, there is a similar location in the game called the Wolf's throat in Striga. You have to defeat a few foes there, and it's actually underground. It's kinda marked on the map, but the waypoint points to the middle of the place, instead of the entrance to it, and the fact that Striga is a hazard zone means the map is totally black, and you'd still have to hunt around a little bit to uncover the map.
