Snow Globe

After having my video card die today, I had a similar problem (and I too switched from a 8600 GTS). It is a KNOWN nVidia issue with motherboards with onboard audio:

Hope this helps. I also have a Pavillion, and setting the audio in the BIOS to "enabled" got my sound back.

Herostats/Titan Sentinel not correctly detecting a character change. Apparently there is a fix for this in the next Titan Sentinel, but expect another badge reset at CIT.

Yeah, that is a problem. Maybe it should be Katie Hannon then.

I take it that you actually mean this post (not your first in this thread):
If it is, then no, what I said wasn't the same. I made no mention of logging out of the "right" EU character. I'm taking the developers at their word that everyone is getting a global rename token so your 3rd point is accurate.

Your 4th point may not be accurate from what I understand. However if points 1 and 4 are accurate, then your EU account will have a rename token in reserve for future use. If not, then your EU account will have a global chat handle rename for you to use immediately.

To my knowledge, the global chat handles aren't reserved when they change.

Yes. On the other hand, you can use the free reactivation to change that old account's global chat handle.

It means that very few heroes will be doing the WST the week of May 17-23. However I'm placing my bets that it will be changed to Numina (35-40) because there isn't enough resources to fix Eden in time for it to be the WST.

May I give you some advice? Seeing you have both a NA and EU account:

• During the reactivation week, log into your NA account.
• Change the global name of that account.
• Log into your EU account.
• Change your EU in game global.
• Congratulations you've parked your global name.

You get a full week to do this.

Possibilities:

• Lady Grey
• Ms. Liberty
• Avatea (trying to get Neuron mod-smacked).
• Arcanaville (trying to find out where the statistical data on Neuron's calculations came from).
• Golden Girl (hoping to use her to baffle Cole and Neuron with smilies).
• Samuraiko (hoping for a publicity announcement).

I don't know, insulting me shouldn't be grounds for people not helping him. However he should have come out less sarcastic and hostile.

SnowflakeEmoteBadge and is ;snowflakes

Yes, it does.

I would suggest in the future that if you accuse someone of not answering your question that you might want to actually read the response you were given.

Well if you didn't bother to read the post I linked to, why should I give your response any consideration?

Well you obviously didn't read the FAQ section, you know the post I directly linked to. I never claimed it was a wiki or that it was "organic and 'living'". I did say that your answers to side specific badges were there. Badge information changes very infrequently. Even most of the information in the Badge FAQ from Issue 8 is still accurate. No, that isn't a living document, but I haven't found the time to deal with it either.

It isn't a wiki article, but it does have accurate information in that specific post. Admittedly with Issue 20 the six respec badges should be taken off that list. Otherwise it is accurate.

Up until the beginning of Issue 20, you couldn't get respecs from both sides. That doesn't invalidate the rest of the side specific badges.

Perhaps me giving you the link to the official list from Black Scorpion would help:
Concerning Hero and Villain-only Badges

As you can see, the official list is nearly identical to mine. Why don't you get mad at Black Scorpion for not keeping his list up to date?

You might have also did a forums search as the same question came up on April 11th:
Hero turned villain, what do I need to know, badge-wise?

Well throwing a fit over someone that gives you the answers you ask for will help immensely with that.

The side specific badge info hasn't changed (aside from the respec badges). It doesn't matter if the post is old or not.

Please follow your own advice.

I'd do the Apex & Tin Mage for the Praetorian Clockwork, Maria's new arc for Seers and Resistance, and the Praetorian Zone events for the rest of the Praetorian specific defeat badges:

Nova Praetoria zone event for Destroyers and Seers.
Imperial City zone event for Syndicate
Neutropolis zone event for Ghouls, Failed Experiments, Praetorian Police Department

Yes, because the change only happened when Issue 20 went live. That is, it went live April 5th, 2011. Badge information doesn't change often. However putting forth a tiny bit of effort on your part would have given you the information you were looking for.

From other posters, maybe. Whenever I provide a link, I always link to accurate information. Feel free to ask any long time reader of this section about me.

I've always found that if people actually have to put forth a bit of effort to get an answer that they remember it better than if they are just handed it. Perhaps you might want to think about that instead of getting sarcastic and rude next time.

I think it is "BaseBuildersInc."

Actually, assuming a full league of 24, there is a way to even that.

Instead of 3 teams of 8, change to 4 teams of 6. Top two in each team go after one target (Siege, Night Star, or the Ambushes), bottom two in each team go after a second target, while the remaining two go after the last target. All four teams will have equal participation with all 3 targets.

The other half of that is players, even after being told repeatedly over multiple channels that it is a master run immediately use molecular acids on the doors. My global ignore list has doubled the non-RMTs due to players causing grief on trials that were clearly communicated prior to the player joining the trial.

Yes, some players are less competent than others. I'll admit that most (not all) players seem to be handling the trials better than I expected. Unfortunately I still seem to run into the incompetent ones frequently. I'm not talking about new players or even players that are returning after a long break.

It is harder than Cassie suggested, but should still be possible.

The shortcut for league chat is /lc as /l is already taken by "local".

You can scroll to see the different recipes, but you need a second tier 3 cardiac to get to tier 4. You've already made your Favor of the Well, so you're good that way. I direct you to the very hard to see scroll bar in the top right of the window.

In this case scroll up to see the shard/alpha components cost. As of Issue 20 all Alpha Slot boosts have both thread and shard recipes. I direct you to the very hard to see scroll bar in the bottom right of the window.

Yes to needing to build another T1, T2, and T3 (of the cardiac tree in this case). No to the second question here.

The "____ Partial Radial Revamp" is a naming convention to describe what part of the tree you are on.

Seeing that you can't have multiple of the exact same item in the Alpha Slot, you'll need to make another tier 3.

Yes, but as I've said above, you can use the shards/shard components to build Alpha Slot powers. You just need to scroll to find the right recipe.

Having no pants is normal for Triumph. <shrug> You get used to it or you're scarred for life.

Pretty much this. I'm sorry if this hurts the developer team's feelings, but we wouldn't have this mess if they were forthright in their explanation. While the developers might have revealed some of the workings for the reward tables, it is obvious that everything isn't clear by the simple fact that even Arcana is asking for clarification on points.

Instead we have guesswork, rumors, and conspiracy theories at a time when simple clarity would allow players to tell the developers "this isn't working".

This is something that everyone should keep in mind when suggesting base building features at the moment.
