If we had Staff Fighting, you could bring a Festivus pole.

Yes, I was referring to the idea of it being a "save file", but that is from my perspective as a player. Why would you think otherwise?

For simplicity's sake, I was including BABs, Jack Wolfe, and whoever else might have been there under the umbrella term "contact".

As others have already pointed out, the contacts are missing, so this seems unlikely.

I suggest that it's not needed.

Seriously? I've neither said nor implied anything of the kind. Far from it.

I have nothing more to say to you. Feel free to misinterpret that, too.

Shadow Step for the win.

That was answered in the first reply. It's nothing. It exists outside of lore, like vanity items.

Or you could just add a reference to where Orion Beltway used to be.

Please quote me saying that. If you can't, stop telling me what I think.

So I can't build a statue to a hero from Paris anywhere but in Paris? Please.

Logic 101: if all badges are landmarks, are all landmarks necessarily badges?

This is getting ridiculous. There is apparently some fundamental problem that prevents you from understanding what I know to be reasonably standard English when I use it.

Nonsense. I specifically mentioned complaints about losing a popular roleplaying location.

So you don't think they could change the badge text, either?

Who said the complaints were about the badges?

Move or replace the statue. No problem.

Move or replace the statue. No problem.

Move or replace the statue. No problem.

Move the badge to the Perez side of the lock. No problem.

Only this one would be problematic. Four out of five isn't bad.

Not by me.

You asked if they could be moved. I didn't answer because I don't know for certain, but I expect there would be a way around it if not.

I don't know what you mean about a second time, though.

Who said it wasn't?

Why not? If the historic location no longer exists but you still want people to remember it, build a memorial somewhere else.

I don't know who you're trying to insult (or why), but I'm pretty sure Voodoo Girl and I were both in that Beta. Better luck next time.

So according to your "research", they had to set up the Echo because a badge or plaque could never be moved, right? Right?

Pretty much. Some said they met regularly to roleplay there, but somehow couldn't imagine incorporating its destruction into their stories. Of course I have yet to see another person in the Echo, but that may be a function of server.

I know. Whenever I have to sit through that, I just assume that he's an idiot, like I assume that the hoverboards are based on Rikti technology. When no other (adequate) explanation is available, one can always make up one's own. I'm still working on the Ouroboros tourism problem, though.

Then they should have made it a requirement that they be done in order, at least the first time through. Otherwise it's just sloppy.

Other than the Echo of Galaxy City, one example is that you can visit Ouroboros at level 14, although you can't earn your Portal or do the introductory missions yet. Do the Menders really not mind freeloaders now?

Maybe the badge should be renamed Entrusted with the Common Knowledge.

Another is that the cutscene for the Keyes Trial has him addressing the league about the other Incarnate trials they've done previously, whether or not they actually have. Is he just a big conclusion-jumper? (I decided to be kind.)

I think Lore has been less of a priority for things added since CoH:F began. <.<

Maybe you didn't make the problem clear to Customer Service. You certainly haven't detailed it well here.

Make it even easier on yourself and get that 3% PvP IO.

I made a perma-Light early in that Beta, but it just didn't feel right. I'm still playing my old build, softcapped to Ranged and Melee.

The scary thing is, I have a build in Mids' (an intellectual exercise only) that's currently a fraction of a second away from perma-Light (and Inner Light) with a side order of S/L Defense, a fraction of a point from softcapped. Oh, and I can possibly manage having Essence Boost all the time, too.

I'm not convinced that they had a bad ending, even if they don't come back to the group. We'll just have to wait and see.
