Y'know, that Widow looking chick...thanks for the hard time Mateo

I have two toons planned out for PvE & PvP thru Mids and those Patrons worked out better for whatever bonus' I had planned.

[/ QUOTE ] My point is: You can select any patron pool once you unlock them. You don't have to run that patron just because you want those powers. There is no benefit from running any particular arc besides a slightly different story, and a different badge at the end.

And the "Widow looking chick" is named is Ghost Widow. lol
You combined her with Black Scorpion I think.

And I have to give you a hard time about it. That's what I do... just a long as you know I'm only kidding around. lol

Arguing is against the rules.

[/ QUOTE ]
Where does it say that?

[/ QUOTE ] OK, you can, but be sure to "be courteous when disagreeing with others." lol

And keep in mind: "Debating the opinion is appropriate, however criticism against the originator of the opinion is not allowed."

[/ QUOTE ]

I can argue without insulting people. I promise.

[/ QUOTE ] But arguing that somebody is not a genius could be considered an insult. lol

I'll keep an eye out for you Patron Arc thread. I could use Black Widow as well and Scirocco.

[/ QUOTE ] Use them for what? Are they selling candy? lol

(There are no badges involved except for the person holding the mission)

[/ QUOTE ]

He might be talking about different characters...

[/ QUOTE ]

You sir, are a sharp guy. Always all over things like a bum on a bologna sandwich.

[/ QUOTE ] Well.. OK, that being the case.. why can't you use Mako?

And who is Black Widow anyway? lol

Another tip for the Shivans.

Always save the last charge to take down the turrets to get the next batch of 5. Makes things less of a pain in the [censored].

[/ QUOTE ]

You're a genius.

[/ QUOTE ]
I cannot argue this.

[/ QUOTE ]
I love arguing, can I argue with it?

[/ QUOTE ] no

[/ QUOTE ]
Why not?

[/ QUOTE ] Arguing is against the rules.

[ QUOTE ]
Okay, in that case, let me pose a second question.

Should custom MA critters give more xp/tickets if their difficulty is set higher? The idea seems to fit in well with the dev's idea of risk vs. reward. More powers to use means more risk to the player, so a larger reward seems logical.

[/ QUOTE ] But I think the Devs have made it quite clear that AE is not intended to be a place to earn rewards, but a place to tell stories.

I'm sorry I don't know much about it, but the people over at Player Help >> Mac Users might know.

Gratz! and hopefully losing the 89+ MA badges won't set you back too far on getting back into the 600 club when i15 launches

[/ QUOTE ]

The I15 changes pulls me back 20 badges, so that's not too bad. Post I15, I should be back in the 600 Club soon. One badge title I'll miss is "Do Gooder".

[/ QUOTE ] Set your badge title now, and you might still have it after the wipe. (as long as you don't ever change it) lol

[/ QUOTE ]

Up until someone asks how you got that title, you tell them, and they report it to the devs as "unfair"

[/ QUOTE ]

Let 'em.

[/ QUOTE ] The Chosen One has spoken! lol

Well hold on a second. I just noticed something funny after testing that for you..

When you change the capitalization of your name, the client doesn't load your custom playerslot.txt file.

So I guess in that regard, it DOES matter. If you want to write it a different way, you'd have to rename that folder to reflect the same capitalization.

Capitalization of the username doesn't matter, but it does for the password.

[ QUOTE ]
the only other way is to run the arc with somebody ese who is running theirs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or you can do this:

Right before you do your patron arc use the character copy tool to copy that character to test. Then copy him again (creating a yourname1 version) and again until you have a version of him for each patron. Now you can experience all of the patron arcs with the same character.

If you already started the arc you're out of luck. Sorry.



[/ QUOTE ] You've been sc00ped. lol

[ QUOTE ]
Also, you could be a villain, in which case, it's REALLY hard to get.

[/ QUOTE ] ROFL tru dat!

[ QUOTE ]
I've never been on a Hamidon raid, but isn't there an exploration badge under him too?

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, but Hami doesn't have to even be spawned for you to go get it. It's always there.

Everyone appreciates a TP from a teammate.

[/ QUOTE ].. especially when you run out when you are camping.. lol

Because there have been many similar within the past year about this very topic that came to these conclusions:

- CoX does support PhysX.. to an extent. The CoX program only recognizes the Aegia PhysX hardware. NVidia's software emulation of PhysX will not work correctly for CoX. (Yes, it's emulation. Many of the video cards were designed and released far before the PhysX was enabled on them. Regardless if you dedicate a card to PhysX or not, it's still not an actual PhysX processor, and CoX doesn't recognize it and wont let you enable it in the options.)

- People with actual Aegia cards have said there isn't much of a difference, and even those who said there was a slight difference stated it wasn't worth the cost of the extra card, especially with today's fast multi-core processors able to pick up the slack with ease.

Like I said, it might be worth it for other applications that will make better use of it, but not for CoH.

If I'm wrong, I'm sorry... So far I don't see anybody speaking up to correct me though, and it's rare on these boards for incorrect information to last very long without criticism, so I'm assuming I understood and explained the situation in a decent way.

If your character is currently doing another animation or in a combat stance, the animation wont play. This is true for any emotes, not just the costume ones. The costume change seems to take forever because it's on a timer that waits for when the animation would have finished.

[ QUOTE ]
I know there are groups with specific mobs that use fire, but if I put Outcasts in an MA story, I'm going to get as many Volts, Bricks and Chillers as I am Torches. Same with CoT. What I'm looking for is a fire using faction, like Hellions or Igneous.

[/ QUOTE ] Use the type of character you want in a CustomVillainGroup, then you wont get the ones you don't want.

Or you can create your own Fire foes and be able to use them at any level.

First, CoX doesn't benefit from NVidia's emulated PhysX.

Second, I heard it's not worth the trouble (for CoX) even if you did get it operational.

Third, I don't know how to get it to work for other applications either, but you might want to check the same place where you heard it from to begin with. I'm sure it is "a pretty good difference" for some games that are designed to use it, but not for CoX.

If you can get XP, you can get drops.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm lvl 50 and I still get Merits..

LoL just kidding. I just couldn't resist. haha

Yes, but you have to have 3 other people to start it and go through the hunt mission first. The one on the mother ship can be suicided during a ship raid - no need to participate at all.

[/ QUOTE ] But it may be easier to get the 3 people together to start the Trial than it does to get a bunch of people together to take the pylons down.

Very simplified:

/macro TP "powexecname Recall Friend$$say Come to me"

[ QUOTE ]
I always thought it was hit it once = 1 merit.

I'm really glad someone put this up.

EDIT: I'm referring to ship raids. I did notice on missions they drop less often. Are... Are ship raids the same? Hmm I Dunno. I'll scroll up to see if someone already answered that question.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, "hit it once = 1 merit" (for ship raids), but don't misunderstand.. hitting it twice is NOT 2 merits. lol

Ship Raids and Invasions are completely separate things.

And yes.. the answers are above. Happy Shopping!

[ QUOTE ]
You had it correct before, it's for each foe damaged

[/ QUOTE ] LoL thanks. I thought so, but I figured I'd disclaimer it just in case.

It's still right though (because -1 is enough for credit). lol

An Aside: Caltrops, Ignite and DoT FTW! lol

[ QUOTE ]
As far as I know the event Rikti are just like any non-mothership raid Rikti and have a 10% chance to drop a number of merits based on Rank ; minions drop one, lieutenants drop two, and bosses and higher drop three; and when they drop they go to a random member of the team.

[/ QUOTE ] This.

The rikti invasion event has the same chance as any other rikti.

It's the foes during player-events like a Mothership Raid in RWZ that will give you 1 merit for each foe your team gets credit for.
