Anyone know?

In the MA system if you chose Standard Reward it says it is suppose to give an arc bonus at the end. This doesn't seem to happen. Am I doing something wrong or is it bugged?

After a year I noticed a few changes:

1) Yellow pieces of salvage can go upward to one million infamy (Villain side). As of one year ago, they were worthless.

2) A lot of common salvage goes for 500k+. Ironically, the things that used to be expensive a year ago (Which only fell between 20-50k for common salvage), such as Ancient Bones, are now fairly cheap.

So what change was made that suddenly yellow salvage became valuable? Its a good one but I was curious what happend.

Some arcs give an unusually large completion bonus. Also, were you playing a hero or a villain? Some villain arcs are considered "mini-arcs" despite their length, and give a smaller, if any, completion bonus.

[/ QUOTE ] I had not thought about the difference between mini-arcs and Major-Arcs. That could indeed be the difference right there.

OP: Do you remember the exact arcs you ran so we can check?

I thought you meant was I outside the mission when I spoke to the contact.

As for what missions it was the contact was Timothy Raymond, the Lost guy in Nerva. His first arc gave that HUGE bonus and his second one the tiny one.

Were you Solo both times?

If not, were you inside the mission when the last one was completed?

Were you on the same difficulty scale for both of them? (Heroic.. Invincible)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I solo both times, difficulty was the same, and I was not inside the mission.

Here's a scenario:

I am level 31, I complete two different story arcs of approximately the same length:

Story arc 1) Grants 60,000 EXP upon being completed.

Story Arc 2, and I still the same level) Grants 11,200 exp upon completion.

Is there like a hidden bonus or something? Or what determines whether an arc gives a huge bonus like that?

No I am not on wireless but thanks.


Actually I just saw a post a couple posts down talking about lag on Triumph. The reply that someone gave the poster is that there is an issue effecting all East Coast servers. (Which is what I happen to play on)

Thing is that post was made about 6 hours ago. Is anyone still having this or is it possibly me?

I swear I've never had this problem before and I disabled my router but still getting it. Is it perhaps Windows Vista Firewall? I keep getting these mini lag spikes which is fairly annoying. They are very minute but you can feel them. When I play World of Warcraft I don't have this problem.

Here is a screenshot of my net graph:

Click here please

Is this a typical netgraph or is something up? I am seeing a lot of little red bars.

Can anyone give advice?

These are perfect so far thanks guys. I had to update all my brawl indexes.

Not familiar can you elaborate?

Just wanted to quote myself again, look at the date I posted this "rumor" and now look at what is coming in Issue 16... guys this is coming.

Can anyone provide a list of changes to powersets for Brutes in the past year? (Excluding Shields) If anyone can expand off my list:

1) Energy Melee, ET Animation time increased.

2) Energy Melee, Total Focus change to Mag 3 (When was this done again?)

3) Energy Aura: The siphon endurance power now heals you. (When was this done? And what is the percentage)

A question off the top of my head too, was Electrical Armor ever changed at all? (Like numbers tweaked?)

I swear I am getting a delay in the game but perhaps it is my imagination. I wanted to see what my latency/ping was in the game. In other MMORPGs I get around 60 MS. Is there a way to see what it is in COH?

Actually wouldn't Castle = Fortress?

[/ QUOTE ]

Castle is a reference to the chess maneuver of Castling, rather than to the architectural structure called a Castle. Hence my forum Avatar.

I was actually looking for a term synonymous with "Discovered Attack" for the Praetorian name, but settled on "Checkmate" when I couldn't find anything suitable in the 2 minutes I allowed myself to look.

EDIT: To add clarification:
[ QUOTE ]
In chess, a discovered attack is an attack revealed when one piece moves out of the way of another. Discovered attacks can be extremely powerful, as the piece moved can make a threat independently of the piece it reveals. Like many chess tactics, they succeed because the opponent is unable to meet two threats at once. While typically the consequence of a discovered attack is the gain of material, they do not have to do this to be effective; the tactic can be used merely to gain a tempo.

Actually I would of thought:

En passant

When a pawn advances two squares, if there is an opponent's pawn on an adjacent file next to its destination square, then the opponent's pawn can capture it and move to the square the pawn passed over, but only on the next move.

So while Castle is a defensive move, En Passant is an offensive one.

All of my costumes on one of my characters use Gladiator costume piece. However, now when I enter the tailor it automatically removes them and it says it is going to charge me. Hitting the reset button puts them back on yet it still shows its going to charge me. Is something bugged? I am afraid to hit accept because I don't want it to mess my costume up.

Additionally, if I enter the tailor and hit cancel, the shoulders are gone from my character until I change costumes and back...

Any ideas?

Thank you

I am trying to figure out how to macro the costume changes to my keyboard. Basically I want:

H = Costume 1, use Lightning change
J = Costume 2, Spin
K = Costume 3, use Presto change

Has there been any announcement about new veteran awards (Post 60 months) being implemented? I assume Issue 15 does not contain them correct?

I own this and I wasn't sure what exactly the male costume pieces were besides the REALLY nice cape. Here's what I found:

Cape
Hood
Skull Mask

What else is there for males? The description said a jacket and boots but what jacket and boots did it add? I do not see them. Can anyone point them out?

I am still waiting but it was only escalated Sunday. Anyone else waiting on this issue too? Really annoying.

Ultimus- did you go read the Global Message of the Day last week that I suggested (and copied into your last thread on this topic)?

You aren't the only one with this problem - so much so that they posted it so that everyone could read it when logging in.

There's probably a line in front of you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats why I was hoping someone that had the problem could rely how long it took. IE, a week, 2 weeks?

[ QUOTE ]
It depends greatly on the issue at hand.

They may have had a LOT of higher-priority tasks to take care of first.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well any ideas on the average? My account is bugged and my veteran awards aren't awarding and it screwed them up and pushed them all back a couple of months. My account has never lapsed and the billing records showed I paid for each month.

Really annoying I want my 60 month badge

Typically how long does it take for a reply? I made a petition Sat and on Sun it got escalated. How long does it take for a reply?

Anyone else have this happend? My account has never lapsed and received my last veteran reward on 3/18 yet I didn't get my 60 month badge on 6/18. Now my account is showing I won't get it until July yet the billing history shows I've paid for every month this year.

Rumor on the mill is that this is going to appear in the NEW EXPANSION COMING OUT!
