I'm having simlar problems with a few characters. My level 46 Scrapper still has Jim Temblor (first Fauntline contact) in his active tab with the book icon. I didn't even run any missions from him. I "asked about available missions" when I first talked to him, decided I didn't want to do them, then left but got the book icon anyway.
Another higher level character had the same thing happen with Flux in the Hollows. -
Never been on a TF or SF. Ever. And I've been playing since the one year anniversary. Every time I get invited to run a TF, I'm about to log out.
Only trial I ever ran was TV, but we failed it.
Never got a hero to 50, though I'm very close (my Scrapper is level 46 right now).
Never been in any Shadow Shard Zone except Firebase Zulu. Also never been in Eden, The Hive, or the Abyss.
Never done any Hami or Ship raids.
Never finished the SoA arcs.
Never completed the Cimerora arcs.
Never done the redside Midnight Club arcs.
Never gotten any Ouroboros badges except for "Entrusted with the Secret"
Never beaten any of the following GMs: Babbage, Adamastor, Lusca, Jurassik, Kraken, Kronos Class Titan, Arachnos Flier, Caleb, U'Kon Gr'ai, Winter Lord, or Halloween Jack in Irons.
Never played an Arena match. However, I have been in every PVP Zone with my Ninjas/Dark MM and even scored a couple of PVP kills with him
Never farmed or PL'ed. -
I'd like to see:
The small ruined lab map from the Time After Time arc you can get from all four patrons. More info here.
More ship maps. I'm planning an arc with pirates, and could use some more ship maps. Some of the ship exterior to ship interior maps would be ideal.
More docks maps. Again, for my pirate arc. I want the last mission to be an epic clash on a beach or docks, but right now all I can really use is the Grandville Beach map. -
Last night my level 41 Scrapper ran into a level 42 Nosferatu while solo. His settings are at +0/+0, yes bosses, no AVs. What was weird is that the other guy that spawned with him was level 41.
I'm also having a simlar problem with Nemesis Lieutenants spawning two levels higher than me in missions. It stopped once I hit level 41 though. -

I'm going to get some levels on my Katana/SR Scrapper. He's 40 right now, so my goal is to hit 45 before DXP is over.

I did a Nemesis mission last night (first mission in the Eternal Nemesis arc) on my level 40 Katana/Super Reflexes Scrapper. I encountered a single level 42 Nemesis Lieutenant in the mission, which of course conned red. My settings were +0/+0, yes Bosses, no AVs. With my settings like that I shouldn't have run into a Lieutenant that was 2 levels higher than me.

I paricipated in two of these zone events, both with Shadowninja1, my 50 Ninjas/Dark MM.
The first was in Mercy. I arrived late (due to the crash I had when trying to access the Halloween 2009 channel) and the the banners were already vulnerable, but I still managed to help dish out damage to two banners and the GM. I was not teamed, and I did not receive any badges. I received merit rewards and a Temp Power upon GM defeat, but no badges.
The second one was in Cap. I was teamed for this one. I headed the Monster Mayhem Banner. I was unsure what we were supposed to do at first, but figured it out quickly. We took it to the mobs, and eventually defeated the banner and got the badge for it. Then he rest of my team headed for the Terror Banner and took it down. I received the Terror badge, despite not dealing any damage to it myself. Then the Apsect spawned and no one could find it. We found Eochai (not the Aspect, the normal one) but the Aspect was nowhere to be found. I had to log abruptly due to a small emergency, so I don't know if the Aspect was found or not. If any of the people I was teamed with reads this, sorry for leaving without saying anything.
Overall, the new event was great, but a little frustrating. I also noticed that while attacking the banners, characters seemed to aim to the left or right of the banner instead of at it.
In between events, I ToTed in Grandeville while solo for a bit. All ToT spawns seemed good, except for Werewolves which seemed very scarce (I only found 1 Werewolf yet I found 5 Vampires, 3 Vampire Lords, 4 Spirits, and bunch of everything else). I also noticed that Halloween Salvage is now awarded for defeating mobs instead of clicking on doors, which is a great idea. -
I tried to join the Halloween 2009 channel and my game crashed. I was in Cap as my 50 MM and it was running smoothly until I tried to join the channel.

Quote:Well, in my oppinion, intentional misspellings can add to the immersion. When I misspell a name because the original spelling was already taken, I try to come up with a reason for it in the characters back story.This is the perfect example of how people just see this problem differently. You see the naming examples above as the solution, and a good one. I see it as a symptom of the problem.
I really, really dislike deliberate misspellings, numbers substituting for letters, etc., and consider those names immersion-breaking.
As an example, take We R Legion. Currently, this is just a placeholder character (because I want this name for my Demon Mastermind). When I make the actual We R Legion, her back story will state that her real name is Wendy Rose Legion. When she became a villain, she simply shortened her real name to We R Legion. -
Quote:That's the thing about names though. Their beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The name "Robotic Pirate Ghost" means something to me, as it was an in-joke between me and my friends back in high school.I don't think many, and I mean no offense when I say this, would think those are good names.
The name "Red Ones Go Faster" is a reference to Warhammer 40K Orks, who believe that a vehicle that is painted red will move faster than a similar one that is painted a different color. -
Quote:I agree, thinking outside the box is a great way to get good names. I have "Robotic Pirate Ghost" and "Red Ones Go Faster" and had no problems getting either name.Some stuff I try when I make a new character is seventhsanctum.com's hero/villian name generator, thesaurus, or a translation website (lots of cool names in German from everyday words). Or, just try something that's a little odder than normal. I had no problem making my Feral Ballerina a few weeks ago...

When I have trouble getting a name I want, I usually just misspell it and it gets me the name.
Examples:
Desired name = Crimson Angel. Name I used = Krimzon Angel
Desired name = We Are Legion. Name I used = We R Legion
Desired name = Chaos Black. Name I used = Kaos Blak
I'm also opposed to the "Veteran Priority" idea for names. It should be first come, first served like it is now. -

I had a similar problem back when Wentworth's was introduced. I logged in with a character I hadn't played since CoV launched, and his marker pointed him to an empty space near the AP Wentworth's.

Quote:Actually, it says 9 AM, not pm:9pm PST (Midnight EST) - Midnight on Thursday, then all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
So no, you're not reading it right. It's 3 days, plus 3 hours.

What's the maximum length for a forum handle? I'd like to be "Robotic Pirate Ghost" but it's 20 characters if you count the spaces.

I'm always up for some new event stuff. It gives me a reason to dust off my 50 and actually play as him.

Pirates primary for Masterminds
Bird costume pieces
Ball And Chain powerset for Brutes and Tankers
Revamp of Hero content so that missions in Story Arcs don't deviate too far from the contact's zone. I get tired of running through 2 zones to get to a mission, just to have to run back through 2 zones to get back to my contact, then have to run through another zone to get to my next mission. -
I once had a mission that was missing most of the map. It was in early CoV on a Longbow mission in one of their tech bases. I turned a corner and fell into a black void. If I recall correctly, I /petitioned it, then logged out and it was fixed when I logged in a few days later.

Warden should be lowered to 100 or 200 Prisoners. 500 is a bit ridiculous. Sure, they're easy to find, but running around Brickstown killing them gets very boring.
Spider Smasher should count more Arachnos entities. Right now it ony counts Wolf Spiders which are only found in Fauntline and radio missions on the Blueside (at least in my experience). I think it should count Crab Spiders and Bane Spiders as well. -
Ninjas/Dark is my personal favorite. The Genin and Jounin provide great damage and the Oni along with the Dark Servant makes a great control combo. Dark is great because it has a lot of versitility with a heal, a rez, a stealth power, and several debuffs. I solo'ed one to 50 with very few problems.

Quote:OK, that makes sense. It would be boring if everything in Praetoria was a mirrored version of a current character. It doesn't really matter if Mako's evil or good to me, I'm just hoping he'll find a place in the Praetorian story.At the Comic-Con dev panel, they said that not everything is a mirror - some characters will always be evil, and some will always be good.
So someone like Mako might still be evil even in Praetoria - although, that doesn't mean he'd join the Praetorians - he might still be opposed to them for his own reasons, even though he was still evil.
We might even have to help him with his goals, if it'll help us against Tyrant, who's the main threat.
Another question: has it been confirmed that Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning will be coming in GR? Or is it a possibility we'll be seeing them before that?
