Having ONE character at 9999 tickets, and then earning more tickets on that character will flag those badges to award to ALL characters on that account.

Like you said, those badges are account-wide. If you had to have 9999 on every character, that wouldn't be account-wide and would defeat the purpose of saying it.

No problem. One good thing about that though is with VEATs you get a 6th costume slot at level 10 as part of the VEAT arcs if you're looking for that new slot still. Part of Brick Johnson's arc (i'm pretty sure, might have the name wrong) unlocks a costume slot. You can access his missions starting level 10 if you follow the VEAT arcs.

Note: If you unlock this extra one, plus the other 4 slots (3 tailor missions, and the halloween salvage slot), you'll still only have 5 slots showing up on the UI and you won't be able to edit the 6th slot, but you can select it using binds.

[/ QUOTE ] That's true, but why do you have to go confusing new people? lol

QR: Go in game, and type [Reveal]. The icon image is on ParagonWiki, but doesn't really 'reveal' anything. Har har. Bear in mind that there have/are/and will always be powers and art that are added that don't ever make it into the live game.

[/ QUOTE ] Do you think that would work on mission maps?

[ QUOTE ]
D'OH!!!!!!!

File this one solved under stupid user error. I TOTALLY forgot about clicking on the train. I was thinking you ran on, then the selection screen appeared. That's what no playing for 2 years will do to you.

Thanks for fixing my ignorance.

[/ QUOTE ] Your ID-10-T form is in the mail. lol j.k

[ QUOTE ]
I would agree this should be a high priority fix. However, since it only happens intermittently, I suspect it's difficult to track down the cause.

[/ QUOTE ] Well it more than likely has to do with the "startchat bind bug" that they supposedly fixed, but still pops up now and then. whatever fix they did to try to fix it is still archiving the characters in the background and instead of appearing when the chat is started, they appear after chat is "sent". In this case, you don't know if you've been affected until you send your password and see more *s appear and get an incorrect password error. lol

Thanks for the reall quick replies, Iam loving the community already . Well I seen a koo looking cape robe that is from the new costum pack. Seen many male heroes use them but havent seen any female yet. So... both female and male can use the high collar robes and the new hoods from the new costume pack? if your correct :P I guess iam going to be buying that pack in the days to come.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, the High Collar is available to all 3 body types, but I warn you, it looks quite strange on "Huge" characters, lol.

[ QUOTE ]
Is it just my imagination or are more players expert on the fashioning of costumes in this game, than any other aspect of play?

[/ QUOTE ] It's the easiest thing to look up and/or manually verify without the politics of "my tactic is better than yours". lol

Yes, lvl 20 can unlock a cape costume option.

Hoods are available to anybody, right from lvl 1.
Male, Female, and Huge all have Hoods as a "Head" option.

There are only a few options though:
Hood
Lower Hood
Thief Hood
Arcane Hood (for those with Magic Booster Pack)

As for "High Collar", that is a type of cape that falls under the "Back Detail" category and CAN be combined with any of the hoods. I warn you, it looks quite strange on "Huge" characters though, lol.

Late to show, and late to post.. lol I have had a long crazy day.. kinda rough. Sorry about the late arrival. I knew it would happen eventually, especially after jynxing myself a couple weeks ago (5/9/09):[ QUOTE ]
I'm waiting for the day something happens to me on Monday night and I miss the Horde action. It's bad enough I work late and barely get home on time as it is. As a permanent team leader, that wouldn't look good for me either. I also don't even have open internet access from work, so there is no way to even let somebody know "I'm late, but on my way". lol

[/ QUOTE ]
Kinda crazy, huh? lol
I wish I really could have sent that last highlighted part to somebody. Maybe I'll have to make some arrangements somehow in the rare chance that it might happen again. lol


Anyway, I finally did make it online and we quickly started the TF. We weren't looking to break any records, and with a few sk's.. a speed-run probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway.

Overall, things went smooth.. other than my fire alarm going off and having to go afk for half the second mission, lol. (Oh I'm just glad Monday is over. rofl)

Rom was just as easy to "break", even with Phanta too far away from mentor at only lvl 41.. the only downfall was dying afterward. Certainly not the same results Tabby has.. but it got the job done. We pulled Rom away from his Nictus and took him down. We then went to my favorite multi-ambush location on the top of the hill and by the time that was over, we only had to hit 1 more roof to finish the mission.


Nice job everybody! The next couple weeks in the shard are on SUNDAY, so make sure to plan accordingly. I plan on doing the TFs in one night. Luna (and maybe a 3rd team) will be splitting it to Sunday/Monday.

I don't have to work next weekend, and the following weekend I get out at 6pm.. so you wont have to worry about me being late. haha. See you then!

July 18th. It says so in their calendar. If you guys would actually go back about a year, they marked it in their Calendar for July 18th this year.

[/ QUOTE ] July 18, 2008 does NOT mean July 18, 2009. Rofl

There is no calendar this year.. other than the ones I have made...
(and they don't include any official events):
May 2009 CoX Calendar
June 2009 CoX Calendar

I've had that happen as well. I had to highlight and delete the "asterisk". Pressing backspace or delete alone didn't get rid of it.

Luna I may change toons and bring my Empath (The1and1) instread of Tallil Mok, the Brutie. I need to practice some more with the Emp so I don't let TT die again.

There were 2 emps on the team...

...when 2 emps can't keep a tank alive, that usually means it is time to blame the tank...

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok.. so I forgot to use [Elusive Mind]. I used it the second time.. lol

In all fairness.. Marvel did admit they weren't even targeting me for a heal. I don't like blaming emps either, but when they admit they didn't even try to heal me.. how they not share the credit? haha

But seriously, it's no big deal either way. We had fun, and we'll do it again in a few weeks. I didn't die on the second TF, and I don't expect to die on the next one either. I might even do another practice run or two before our next attempt. The only hard part is going to be once I get the badge on Tabby, I plan on bringing my Emp to the table. Then I'll be in Marvel's shoes. You bet I'll be practicing beforehand. lol

[/ QUOTE ]

You know I am just joking right?

I just find it very, very, very funny that you died exactly where I said you would die...

...maybe I am a little bit psychic...

...anyone want their fortunes read?

[/ QUOTE ] Lol yes. That was kinda funny.

I still could have made it out of there ok if my Dull Pain wasn't in queue waiting for my taunt animation to finish... but nothign we can do about that now.

As for being psychic.. It's Korol that was psychic.. That was the problem. haha

But it's true I didn't take all proper precautions by failing to use [Elusive Mind] and/or a purple.. and we paid for it. We started the TF over and I didn't make that mistake the second time.

And now that I know you want me in melee range of GW, I wont keep walking away from you either.. rofl
Then again, there was a foul stench in that corner... that might have just been the scrapper though (totally kidding). haha

[ QUOTE ]
this game isnt hard to play lol
People dont wanna waste their life away grinding.
99% of the people who play this game PL & its been like that since I started this game yrs ago.

GL to them trying to nerf PL.

[/ QUOTE ] Many of the people I play with.. DON'T PL. I never have, and likely never will. Personally, I like to experience each character as they level up and see how the new powers fit in and it gives me a better idea where the strong points and weaknesses are so I can plan accordingly for future powers and/or IO sets to fill in the gaps.

Sure, there may be the occasional farm when we find a good mission to get a few extra runs out of, but that's not the same thing as Doorsitting on a lowbie and letting other people do the work for you.

I'd like to point out that I'm not against people PL'ing or farming. I don't care how other people want to play their toons. I'm just stating that it's not for me. It probably never will be. That's my personal choice, and there are many others that share it.

I'd say most of the population will farm something at some point, but saying that 99% PL is just plain false.

As for tonight.. It's going to be weird not using tabby tonight. I expect myself to die many times by forgetting who I am and/or trying to pull off some of the same tricks with Phanta. haha

For the record, I'm not going for a sub30 tonight. If we catch a groove and happen to manage it, that's cool.. but I'll settle for about an hour. lol

There are several conflicts with the R-click info buttons. It seems many of those are generic icons that show you the same thing [Resistance] would, which often shows incorrect information based on your AT, regardless if that power is even available to your AT.


IIRC, the stats inside the summon power should be the correct values for your pets. (unless they nerfed them and forgot to edit both info locations. lol)

I can alt-tab, but the game is always visible in the background.

This has been the case for me on my last two PCs.

[/ QUOTE ] Well of course. If you are using any fullscreen application, you are going to see it in the background at all times, unless you click "show desktop". But then you will see all open windows pop up again once you run an application or choose a window. That's just the nature of the beast.

[ QUOTE ]
hmmm so Speed Fan is just overeacting.

Alright, thanks Hug.

[/ QUOTE ] You can adjust the "warning" temperatures on that program by clicking "Configure", then clicking the temperature you want to change. The "Desired" and "Warning" options will appear at the bottom.

play on the same resolution as your desktop. It helps reduce stress on older systems while trying to alt-tab out to different rez.

I prefer using the wiki's guide ot the exploration badges because they add a picture of the location.

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/CoH_Exploration_Badges

[/ QUOTE ] Vidiotmaps also has Screenshots for each badge location. When viewing the Exploration Badge listing and clicking on a badge, the coordinates and a link to the screenshot is provided.

I was supposed to get mine two days ago. This is based on my NCSoft account showing that it was created on May 15, 2004, and my recollection that I played CoH for the first time on a Saturday (which May 15th was in 2004.)

[/ QUOTE ] On the same page that shows your account creation date, there is also a Veteran Reward detail section toward the bottom. That should tell you the date you are due to get the badge and rewards that go along with it. You shouldn't have to "recall" on your own.

If that date is not 3 months after your most previous one, or there is something else strange about it, send a ticket to support. It seems other people have recently had issues as well.

There hasn't been an official announcement of one yet - we can speculate, but it's just that - speculation. Smart money says there'll be one sometime in the summer.

I agree on this, but sure I have seen a list of events for the year and it was stated there, for it to take place! But can't remember where to find the list...

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure you're not thinking of the old calendars for *last* year?

[/ QUOTE ] Just taking this opportunity to plug my calendars:

May 2009 CoH Calendar

June 2009 CoH Calendar

No, there is no official event data listed, but too many people ave been asking for calendars, so I made them. I realize nobody in this thread directly asked for a new one, and they don't include any info on 2xXP, but there they are anyway. lol

Unless you can "swim" a few feet up and "float" in the water, then there is nothing new about it, and nothing to test.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's been a while since I've been in there...but...if I recall correctly, that's exactly what we're talking about here.

[/ QUOTE ] Last time I tried it.. you still sink to the bottom as if it's a normal floor. Except for the fact that you are doing a different animation, it's no different. Jumping results in a normal jump, not "swimming higher", and I don't remember being able to sustain a float at the surface. I could be wrong though. Either way, my point is that could have been how water was originally coded to begin with, but we never saw it because of the shallow "ocean floor".

[ QUOTE ]
I should be able to do the ITF with yall. Okay here is the deal. I have 1 ss/stone brute, 1 fort/widow, 1 ill/rad, 1 fire/kin, 1 ele/ele blaster, and a necro/TA MM.

What ya want? I like using my fort the most, but I work with anything

[/ QUOTE ] It's easier if you just pick the one you feel like using. We aren't here to dictate how anybody should play. This is about fun. Bring the one you have the most fun using.

Besides.. once we all get together and see who shows and see what we have to work with, we can still make any necessary substitutions at that point.

[ QUOTE ]
Yep, it's intentional. I believe it's there simply as a way to test the tech. That leads me to the belief that they're eventually going to offer underwater content, otherwise why would they put it in at all?

[/ QUOTE ] Honestly, i don't think there is any new "tech" about it at all.

Most likely, there is script that changes you to the "swimming" animation whenever you break the plane of the water. Sometimes, you can even TP somebody out of the water and they will still be in that "wading" pose (until they move).

Anyway, the water we are used to just sits a few feet above a huge "floor". I don't see the Cimeroran cave map as any different, other than the floor is much lower.

Unless you can "swim" a few feet up and "float" in the water, then there is nothing new about it, and nothing to test.

I wouldn't bother support for an early badge tho

[/ QUOTE ]
Right because no one wants the Vet System to actually work as advertised. If it's OK for random people to get Vet awards literally months early now it should be OK for the system to give everyone all the Vet awards right now instantly regardless of how long anyone has played. Yep, seems reasonable to me.

Sorry that it makes me weird that I'd actually like the system to apply the rules fairly to everyone. *shrugs*

[/ QUOTE ] This.. not to mention it could be your information that leads them to fix a bug that makes them award LATE for some people as well.
