Pentad Victor:
Win a Pentad or Septad match.

If you did a Pentad and got the badge, it follows that Septad would then give you nothing. There is only one badge for that.


On a side note, I think I do need Swiss Draw on one of mine on Freedom, so I'm in for a small group sometime, sure.

"You just stepped on a butterfly."

That's mean! lol

I'm not sure if that method is still in practice or not, but it says "from today onwards", and somebody else recently reported sending the email worked for them.

Thanks!

ooooh? Internets?!

Do I get anything extra for showing you this...?

Optimus Prime in CoV

Like I said above, I actually did have a waypoint, so I'm not sure if it's just the way the mission is done that causes it, or if it's just random, but hopefully it works for you when you try again tomorrow. If not, try using the coordinates instead.

Good Luck!

Indeed. I've made edits before, but I have forgotten my password there and too lazy to worry to about it. haha

I just found it odd that a couple obvious secrets that are on the site weren't linked on that page. That's all. It's NBD.

Edit:
Ok, I got off my lazy bum and reset my titan Key and added Spaulding to the list.

Hmm why aren't Charlie Newland's Island and the Matrix Room linked to from the Easter Egg page?

PS - Would the Egg Hunter exploration page count as an Easter Egg? lol

Also, the Contact featured in my February calendar below might qualify a well.

Here it is:

..and nice job getting some attention to this issue.

I agree. It sounds to me like they are saying..

Pick one:
30 days of game time
-or-
Early access to powers as they become available.

Question is.. which one is worth more to you? lol

Actually, it looks like there will be an item pack upgrade available as well to those who pre-purchased.

No, you wont have to by both for a total price of $70. You can buy the pre-order, then buy the upgrade when it becomes available... but you wont get any free game time (which you wouldn't get even if you waited and bought the standard retail anyway).

The standard retail does not come with any game time regardless if you buy it early or wait. Only the Complete edition retail comes with the extra game time, and wont be available through the item pack upgrade.

It's very possible to run it several times and not lag at all. There are several factors that can cause the server-side lag to happen, but it doesn't mean it happens EVERY time.

The specific lag we are talking about is server-side, and CAN NOT be fixed by your own personal system specs. That would be like saying if you had a faster processor, that you could read this message before I hit "submit reply". You can't. It's impossible.

I have to send the message before you can read it, just like the server has to finish processing the player AoEs, Cimeroran AoE buffs, multiple patrol and ambush pathing errors... before you can see it. The kind of lag we are talking about is when it happens to EVERYBODY at the SAME TIME, not randomly to each player who happens to get a lower framerate when something big happens.

Your own personal video lag might certainly be reduced, but you did not solve Server lag... unless you reprogrammed or upgraded the server. lol

I "never" lag on the ITF anymore either, but I'm wise enough to know it's largely because of how we run the mission. I'll admit some things are beyond my control and once in a while it's still going to happen. That's just common sense.

As for the OP.. why do we accept it? I dunno. I guess I don't see it as a large problem. I have fun during my countless hours of play, and a few moments of lag are not enough to turn it into a bad experience. I do still think the ITF should be fixed though. It's obviously broken, and has been since it was released.

I thought this was the case also. Either way, I'd also guess the item pack would be sold separately as well, so it's not like we'd lose out on anything.

On a side note, the item pack doesn't look too exciting anyway... unless the temp power gets modified before release. We'll see.

I'm glad you were able to set something up and have a good time. As for the server stability.. I also have not seen this type of thing in a long time, but the last couple of nights have been a little odd for me as well. I guess a few zones have crashed at various times and toons have been getting stuck "still logging out".

Like always, I'm sure it'll clear up again.

OMG you scared me!

I think it was in response to the fact that this thread was created 05-06-2009.. and suddenly it was brought to life 9 months later.

We can only assume the OP has fixed his issue by now, if he/she even still plays.

Yes, the game does support various aspect ratios, but it does so by trimming, not by adding. If you are at the same camera distance as you were before, you should certainly NOT see any improvement at all, as illustrated by my images above. Either your camera was zoomed out more, or you are factoring in the size of UI, which may or my not contribute to your perceived FoV when you pushed them to the side.

I agree that when I first went to widescreen, I also felt like I could see more, but I also moved/shrunk my UI and I regularly vary my camera distance to see things. It's not a huge deal when changing the aspect ratio so little, but it becomes a big problem when you stretch an image across 3 screens. With a limited camera distance, and limited camera movement inside missions, you really short-change yourself and only see 33% instead of the expected 300%.

On a side note, I spend my time in the reactor watching the clock and reporting to the team when the next spawn is coming. lol

There is supposed to be no way to toggle off that display, other than to be in Base edit mode, or to disable the entire UI. There is no default bind for it, and creating your own doesn't do anything either.

The OP is just victim of a bug that seems to happen to people from time to time.

Possible solutions:
/wdwload (if you did a wdwsave before)
/window_reset_all
/show health (show is the same as window_show)
/show menu
/show status
/show combatmonitor
/show combatnumbers

Sister Psyche is a Heroside TF, lvl 20-25+, and is usually done anywhere between 1½-3 hours.

Completing this TF awards the "Sister Psyche's Comrade Badge", which is required towards the "Task Force Commander Accolade" that grants a 5% hp bonus.

The wiki lists this TF as awarding 50 merits.

OP: I would join, but I am also not available at that day and time. Sorry

The problem is the game does not add width to the picture to make it widescreen ratio, it subtracts height. This means that if you can imagine your screen being 3 windows wide.. the same image we see is really just stretched across all 3, making the center one look zoomed. Because of that.. it loses MUCH more view on the top/bottom.

Example of a 1-screen view:


Rough edited example of the same picture as it would theoretically be viewed on 3 screens:


And that's with the camera zoomed all the way out (with the mouse).

Here's what it would look like under standard/default camera view..


Rough edited example of the same picture as it would theoretically be viewed on 3 screens:


It's missing so much of the picture. I can see how that would be annoying.

AFAIK, there isn't any way to get around it. Zooming out the camera with the mouse only goes as far as 80ft. You can also adjust further with a slash command or bind, but only up to 120ft (800ft in base edit mode).

/camdist 120

That might help a little, but if it were me, I'd probably just play windowed mode on the 1 screen... especially once you get inside missions where you are limited to what you can do with your camera distance.
