Hey guys,

I just wrote a new guide with my *choke* EXCELLENT *choke english.

here the link

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=200232

Figured ill write a guide on how to get the code on LRSF mission 4 w/out getting spotted and w/out any agroo at all.

First thing you need to achieve is to get in the Code room or the room right next to it w/out getting spotted.
What you need is 60 ish pve stealth. You can achieve that in many ways. I often go for SuperSpeed+IO stealth that give me 65 pve stealth. But could be Shadowfall/Myst/fog/Stealth/IO stealth/SS etc.. combine 2 and you have 60ish something.

On some setup you will be confronted to some spline warden that have quill on. if that AoE dam toggle hit you, you can say bye bye to your stealth. To prevent this, I normaly just eat a few luck insp, b4 i rush in. I do it each time, even doh ive no idea ill ran in those spline Warden or not.

At some point you will get into a cross path, where a tiny little popup hide. if you do stop there, it will show up and attack you. those turrets have crazy perception, they see through 65 feet pve stealth. I normaly dont stress too much about it, since i just run by, and it have no time to deploy. But is interesting to know and undeerstand that turret, if it does hit you, will blow your stealth.

Have your pve feet stealth number showing in your quick Real number window, and monitor it as you go. if you get hit or think you got, just watch that number to see if you are good or not.

Alternativly you can phase even i often tell ppl to use Etheral shift temp power (temp phase) if they have no stealth at all. You can buy that for cheap on the BM. phasing also solve the quill and turret issues.

How to get there is pretty hard to describe, You can try to mount an AE mission with that map on it, or do the vindication arc, and take your time to figure that maze.

Once you there....




For reference :

• Code room
• Room next to it

Basicly there is 2 different configuration where LB's will guard the code.
- Configuration A : they are outside of the room.
- Configuration B : they are in the room.

Note: on the following prinn screens im both on config A. Just imagine the LB's are in the room for config B and there is nothing beside the turret on that Config , on the room next to the Glowie room.


Configuration A is real easy, go in the room, hug the wall like showed on this picture , rotate camera in the way you can click the glowie and click it

Configuration B, is tricky, and its here the real trick some ppl still dont know about.

First you need to worry about the tiny little pop up. There is 2 thing i do about that.
1. i make sure no LB's see me, i attack the turret, kill it, then wait my stealth come back on. If you do that, make sure that no LB see you when you kill the turret, and make sure your stealth is back on, b4 moving to position.
2. i ignore the turret, eat few luck insp, to make sure it wont interrupt me when ill Click.

Here the trick, Position yourself similar to this picture, (imagine the lb's are on the other side of the wall) but hug the wall even more. Then click the glowie from that position. you should be close enough.

This trick work 99% of the time. sometime 1 LB will actualy walk in the code room in a way it can see you, but that is pretty rare. IF you hug the wall, none of em will be able to see you.

if only 1 lb see you, they will all agroo. You can click demonic and/or eat luck and sturdy insp, there is noway to avoid the hit damage those guys will do, even if they dont low your hp at all, you get interupted, you cant click. if anything append, at this point you need to kill em all.

You can easily avoid the hit dam from the turret, but not from the wardens+lt+minions, Warden having the higher Acc.

What to do after ?

- Have someone teleport you away
- If noone can... wait your stealth go back on, eat insp, and run back to your team. If you do that, do know that you have an ambush who see you regardless of your stealth running toward you (or your team). you still have the popup turret and quill issue. I stronlgy recommand you eat insp b4 running out or have some ready.

Note about [breakfree]... IT IS USEFUL... if you have no mez prot, always have 5+ BF on ur tray, You are indead trying to solo something that could get yourself into fighting 1 to 3 LB mob. you aim for no agroo at all, but we all know that stuff append.


This trick is pretty useful and i can say ive managed to do the code on a lvl45 corr (pre-i16 and supersidekick).

I first noticed it when i wanted to do Diviner Maros Arc in Shark head. I havent done that arc in ages. So went on +2 settings to at least have some challenge with the mobs (+2 sound low for a lvl50 but we not 50 yet on that arc). Barracuda spawned at +4, we had to reset to -1 then she actualy spawnede at -1. Then back to +1 Calistix the Shaper spawned at a wacky level as well (dont recall but he was hard).

That arc is lvl25-29, At those lvl, with a team SSK with ppl as low as lvl20, a +4 AV is kinda impossible.

Then Dark Watcher Arc, Later on an arc on a lvl50 in RWZ similar bug...

Tina mission cap at 45 if i believe, and i was already lvl47, so i set to +2 to have at least white and yellow mob... AV spawned at lvl51.

Later that night Maria Arc, set at +1, (was still lvl47) spawned lvl50 (+3lvl).

Basicly, until they fix this, i will run at +1 max, if i know there is an AV in the mission.

It went pretty smooth.

Great Stuff everyone.

Hola!!!, ill be there.

Make sense, thx all

Yeah i got that part, havent heard from those since the old WB tricks...

But some lvl52 synt Nucleosus got sold this month....

so unless an old player who was innactive had those in reserve and just sold them....
then... someone found a way...

Ok so how to have that from hamid or lrsf or stf ???

Im looking at the BM atm, and i see some were sold this month.

Last time i checked , doing LRSF on Relen gave me lvl50 HO, not 52.


Any pointers ?

New i16 diff settings ?!?!

well im clueless and need cofee

Thx for the fast reply, maybe i should have specified im looking for DR, as in i13 pvp DR.

Is there a way to calculate the DR ratio applied on Acc, tohit and Def (only care for those 3 atm)?

Thx

Step 1 : Delete a toon to make room
Step 2 : ... stuck at step 1 ...

Supersidekick ftw,
<--have high expectation, it will shift the game, ... for the better I hope!

Speed Posi -1lvl, with lvl20 powers
Speed Ice mistral (now for 41 merits), -1lvl, with lvl30 powers.
You get the idea...


oh and stare,wonder, and totaly be confused at the 5th column spawn in Steel Canion

Cool bean, thx

So we get salv and recipe in Dev choice hey

Right now im in a semi coma of playing too much, and cant remind if i read somewhere that you can get recipe but not purple, or i dreamed, of it.

since im lazy i figured ill ask here

Its true , that channel can be quiet... but still i see some SF's post in it, as I also use it to post for my SF's runs.

As for LRSF itself, the ppl I know that run it (outside my own runs) will form with there regulars then will try to get few more to start it, using diff channels. Iv'e no idea how often they run doh.

For myself, I run it each time i feel like it. That is many times a week, unless im tried of it, which also append a lot. But since HO prices are sky rocking, my interest is back, :P

what do you mean !??!!?, RL does Exist?

Here what i see as a VG leader

- New members, most of em are N00bs, ive nothing agains N00bs but when they only ask for AE and Farming and PL'ing its kinda lame. Vet players or N00bs that really try the game ive no issue helping. But obviously, i need to see how the new guy behave, before i get interest in helping.

- Old members, lvl so fast they just start new alts, and they try to park them in other VG's/SG's (for our group its not an issue we have many divisions).

- For all members: They have hard time to run reg teaming in reg zones. And that is what really hurts. I have high expectation that supersidekick will help a lot. There is a lot of ppl tired of farming AE but they have few other options ATM.

Util i16, the only thing for me to do, is run SF's/TF'S all nights, sg/coal wise.

I have no appeal on PL'ing new members for prestige.
I have no appeal in farming for tickets/xp/inf.

It's true there is sg/vg that will recruit then wont do anything to help you, and only ask for you to run in sgmode.

It's also true that some of us are tired of helping new members that act like they are 5 year old.

As for i16, i expect more ppl will move to reg zones. I know ill be back in leading teams for regular content. One of the thing im tired of, is actualy constantly balancing my team, and have ppl trying to convince me, that we will be "ok" fighting +3... when actualy more then half the team will be -5 (mission holder on relen, rest of the team 2 lvl lower then mission holder, etc..), first thing you know you go fight LB's instead of council/freaks, and the team go kaput. Unless you plan on farming Paper/radio which get boring on the long run.

It's why i like leading SF's/TF's since pretty much all the time, all at same level.

Oh and btw, it's also true there is active SG/VG that dont ask for sgmode, and still do team sg/coal wise. Just that for the moment there is few teams in reg zones period.

I have a few toons, that for some odd reason autofire wont stay on hasten. It work for a while then i notice the small green circle is not there anymore.

- its not a gfx glitch when sometime its still on autofire but you dont see the green circle. Its really not on auto fire.
- I dont press Z to cancel all action. It occure randomly.

I don't play those alts often enought to bother me doh. But played em enought, even after lvl50 to try a lot of things to fix it. but in the end, that glich is stil there.

I (on Mad-Doth) joined 30 min in advance, was leading a team of 8 all from VG. For the first round everything went well, we had 2 speedy with fly tracking Miss Honey Dew for us the slow's with jet packs. When grouped we had a kin boosting our speed (until he Dc'ed).

From coalition ive seen another team was forming and leaded by Rhea Flame.

Once in the bombers path it was easy to know where to go, and target the next. seems we were moving faster then what I remember from last year event.

And then... GV ... half my team was not able to zone to GV1, some were stuck in ouro, some in GV2, and some in cap. At that moment rikti were invading cap and those in cap were trying to shoot at the bombers in cap w/out result (there were like 2 agains 1 bomber). Someone suggested we move to cap, but I told them the event leaders were in still in GV. Was tempted to pass the suggestion to you guys/gals but i knew you were already struglling with many issues, and that suggesting a move might not be welcome at that moment.

I was not able to catch up with Miss Honey Dew Fly speed with my slow jet pack, i knew were she was, cause 1 of my guys was tracking her the whole time. I was happy to rez some here and there when i had the opportunity, well at least i was doing something to help.

And in the middle of that choas I did a search... 74 ppl not on hide showing in GV1 and GV2 ... O.o!!!!! So here a question...
Is GV max capacity lower then other zone ? Maybe its locked at 50 ppl ?!?! That would explain a lot ot me.

Anyways, we moved to Mercy island, since my team was reduced to a few I recrtuited some more here and there. In Mercy I Saw my trackng guy moving/crossing the whole map a few times, lol. not able to catch up I was just waiting for something to append. Then we moved to PO, we finnaly be able to shoot a few more, before it was it.

Thanks @Ara and your crew for leading this again. Much appreciated.

I will try to be there tonight for hero version, but you know RL...

Better late then never, was not sure to make it, so i was quiet about this....

Anyways, Got a VG team with me.
