    Yeah.. I just added it in manually to help people find him if they wanted. Matter of fact, that entire map window was edited. I couldn't get the interface that small but still enlarge it to that scale to show enough detail, so I had to shrink the UI myself manually, and also edit out the toon's name above the arrow marker. Then I had to move the compass back into position as well. It was really quite a task.. cause I only use MSPaint. lol

    ..and Thanks! Glad you like them.

    PS - That Calendars by @Master-Blade link in my sig takes you to my calendar thread so we don't have to threadjack.

    Is buying a laptop via Money Order secure?
    NO!


    Is this seller trustworthy? I don't know, but the site makes him/her appear to be.

    Will you get a laptop if you send him/her money? Possible/Maybe/I don't know.

    Would I do it? Probably not.

    My suggestion, if you are THAT worried about it:
    See if the seller will consider a MoneyGram® or Western Union® instead, just to make it a little more secure and personal (and to have more info about your seller in case it goes sour).
    -or-
    Just don't bother. Buy your laptop somewhere else.

    I hear you there. I've got a Villain still doing the rare Outcast Boss mission over and over again. I could wait til GR.. but.. well.. you already know the rest. lol

    *fixed.

    The Infected and Contaminated are similar, yes... and the Infected can sometimes be found in areas of Atlas and Galaxy as well, but the Infected do not count toward this badge.

    As mentioned above, the best/easiest place to get this is from the Ouro mission. That same arc is also commonly used to get the Shivan's defeat badge as well.

    Additionally, there is a single Contaminated spawn in RV that does count toward this badge, but Villains are blocked from earning it. It's currently unknown what effect GR may have on this.


  5. Looks like I forgot to set the death challege on the Trial. My WS stealth was crap. I was able to TP everybody to their obelisks, but I ended up dying on my way to the final door. We didn't get in under 10 minutes cause Ginko's obelisk was covered in CoT and it was hard for him to target (next time I'm just going to suggest "/targetname obelisk"). lol

    Anyway, it was a fun arc! We just steamrolled through everything except for the Trial. For that, I just had everybody wait at the cave doors before starting it, then I used Mission TP and then Assemble the Team, and we all went into the mission. lol

    As for that CoT mission.. it sounded like you guys got hit with some pretty bad maps. I didn't have ANY big rooms, nor a prison area.
    Call me lucky?


    Great job everybody! See you all next week!

    It's not against the rules in AE either, as long as the mission isn't purposely exploiting some loop-hole to make the foes extraordinarily easy and/or to earn extraordinary amounts of rewards for little effort.
  7. They didn't happen to be near the Flyer, were they? That seems to spew off some extra buffs sometimes. I've also seen the MK power give off strange results, especially from AVs.

    On a side note, there were a couple STFs completed on Freedom just last night without much of an issue.

    I'm not saying nobody's ever had an issue on those bosses before, but there had to be a reason for it. It's certainly not typical behavior.

    I was going to comment on the same thing, but I deleted it. After re-reading, it sounds like Ms. Mesmer was just referring to doing that for badge credit on the other (non-timed) missions, since the post was started by saying Shadowhunter isn't needed for the badge.

    The OP can still let the mission time out though.

    It's public knowledge now.
  10. Badge credit is not from completing the missions Its for defeating the AV/EB.

    As long as you are in the mission to get credit while the AV/EB is killed, the status of the mission itself does not matter at all.

    In short, yes.

    More specifically, you'll have early access to the set, possibly before that weekend starts (unless that's when the patch is added), and you'll still be able to use it after it's over.

    I don't mind doing AVs twice. I'm game for anything of course. I just want to make sure you don't already have 2 other Major arcs open when we start, or else she'll never even give us the Arc we are trying to run. I've seen it happen far too many times, especially before we had the nice storybook icons to let us know what was going on. lol

    Edit:
    Talking to you in game just now, it seems you only have a couple Minor arcs open currently, so it should work out fine. Only time will tell how many AVs we'll go through before the arc starts. Hopefully she wont give out any of her hunts first. lol

    And don't start any other Major arcs in the meantime.

    See you there!
  13. It might be the one for defeating LR 5 times.. mine is bugged too.

    I have the other 2 already, and my progress bar says 92/100.

    However, mine does not say "?". The text for it clearly says "Unlock this by defeating Lord Recluse at the end of a Patron Arc."

    So maybe Lanaru's is bugged also but says "?" instead. Have you (or your group) done the Shadow Shard TFs in SG mode at all?

    Nice. Sorry for the confusion. I'll be on Star'goyle then, the lvl 37 Warshade. (still pending me being home on time)

    And to clarify, does she have a Storybook in the Contact window? If not, then you are not running her arc yet.

    She does start her missions with Infernal, and she does spew out a bunch of Stand-alone AV missions, but the actual "A Hero's Hero" Arc starts with "Find the dead scanner", containing Chimera instead.

    RedTomax.com - Maria Jenkins: A Hero's Hero

    ParagonWiki.com - Maria Jenkins: A Hero's Hero

    Make sure you don't have 2 Major Story Arc (blue books) already open. Otherwise, when she's done giving you her stand-alone missions, she wont you give you anything else and you might still be missing an AV or two (not including AntiMatter). All the AVs found in her stand-alone missions are also inside the actual arc.

    Just to clarify this further, the GvE Items can be bought as a stand-alone pack for 9.99, but since the GvE Retail version comes with 30 days of game time, that's actually the better bargain at 19.99

    Yes, 6 seconds (not enhanceable?)... but as long as you have Hasten active and a little extra recharge, you should be able to put a new one down before it expires. As long as you don't already have something attacking you at that point, you're fine.

    On a side note, it's fairly cheap and easy to make the Gun Drone "perma". While it doesn't solve the problem of getting agro while you re-drop it, you still have a chance to recover quickly.. unless of course it dies.. then you're on your own again. lol
  18. My method:

    - Level 21 Villain gets the mission (set to +4, x8), and enters the mission.
    - Invite people to the team.
    - As each person enters the mission, they quit the team and a lvl 50 inside the mission invites everybody (except the mission holder).
    - The mission holder leaves the mission and waits in Pocket D.
    - The foes will spawn at lvl 25, so there should be both Hellfrosts and Hordelings.
    - The lvl 50 team wipes through the map jumping through mobs killing only their desired targets, obviously avoiding the Boss spawn in the final room.
    - When the mission is "clear", invite the mission holder back to the team and everybody is instantly ejected from the mission, making it a quicker way out to reset.
    - Reset the mission.
    - Repeat as needed.

    - Because of the strange overlapping requirements for the 4 badges, you will ding 3 badges well before the final Hordeling Gladiator. Once you don't need the bosses anymore, the Mission holder changes the difficulty setting to (+0, x8) and continue the process above until you get the last badge.

    It's quick, and easy. No need to worry about actual boss spawns... you'll always be fighting grays anyway.

    If the folder wasn't automatically added when you re-installed Test, I think the folder is created automatically after the first screenshot you take.

    This, the arcs fall into the lvl range where their upper limit is. That particular arc is 25-50, so you'll find it in the last section. This also means that if you are not high enough to see that section, you can't do that arc again (yet), even though you may have already done it from the real contact already.

    +14 days for Trial: applied 6/13/2006 (+14 = 6/27/2006)
    +30 days for CoH Retail: applied 6/27/2006 (+30 = 7/27/2006)
    2 months of regular payment = 9/27/2006
    +30 Days for CoV Retail: applied 9/20/2006 (+30 = 10/27/2006)
    6 months of regular payment = 4/27/2007
    +30 Days for DVD Retail: applied 4/13/2007 (+30 = 5/27/2007)
    +60 Days for Game Card: applied 4/13/2007 (+60 = 7/26/2007)
    15 months of regular payment = 10/26/2008
    The Refer-a-friend code, good for "one month of free game time" = 11/26/2008
    12 Month Plan = 11/26/2009
    +30 Days for Mac Retail: applied 1/08/2009 (+30 = 12/26/2009)
    3 "Invite a Friend Back", good for "15 days of free game time" each (+45 = 2/9/2009)

    There's the correct date! We are billed monthly, for the MONTH, not for 30 days of game time.
    Once I'm finally billed for my 12+2 Plan, I expect I'll be playable until 4/9/2011.
    I just wanted to update that I was billed the other day, and the account status does indeed say "Playable Until: Apr 9, 2011" like I expected it to. 14 months were added to my account, not 14x30 days.

    But another strange thing is that my future Veteran rewards seem to have shifted a couple of weeks again.

    Here is my previous list from above...

    51 months - WE 9/22/10
    54 months - TU 12/21/10
    57 months - MO 3/21/11

    I don't see any logical reason why they would shift a whole week and a half past the previous dates. The "wonkiness" continues! lol
  23. Well, it's been a while! lol

    I went from being well ahead of schedule, to almost running out of time.. so here is March's calendar... finally!

    March 2010:

    March 2010 CoH Calendar


    March's Calendar features a Fake Nemesis. This specific shot was taken in the cave area of the Nemesis Base map, found in Part Three of The Dark Watcher's arc: The Horror of War (45-50 co-op in RWZ).

    Enjoy!

    PS - I'll try to stay ahead of schedule, and if anybody has any requests for Contacts or landmarks they would like to see featured in a future calendar, just send me a forum message. Your suggestions are always welcome.

    Thank you!

    I think that's just a side effect of a Copy/Paste. SK is automatic now, and there is no way to be "past the level range" or EX to lvl 50 for this particular arc. lol

    Anyway, he seems to have edited it from "task force" to "this is Contact Mission" but he still lists the lvl range as 45-50... but he also didn't list the Location as Ouroboros.. so who knows. He'll have to pop in and clear it up. Maybe ur right.

    On a side note, I just realized I forgot to sign up. I actually have dinner plans this night and don't know what time I'll be home. IF I make it in time, I'll just use MB or Tabby. But if it turns out to be non-Ouro, then I'll bring my WS. Thank you.

    I'm assuming he's running it through Ouro, which means you'll have to be lvl 45.
