Snow Globe

Yes, exactly.

Black and white for the EU losing names to NA players: You were warned ahead of time, you were told ahead of time. They took the path that would affect the least amount of players. Sadly you were one of those players.

I can explain that one. Perhaps not explain, but give context to this.

A few years back there was a bug with the global name servers. It pretty much wiped the Global Chat Handle database. After that, the first character that entered the game set the Global Handle. Seeing this wasn't the fault of the players, a new Global Chat handle was issued to all players.

Now if the player wanted the original handle, it had to be unused. If another player took the chat handle before the original player took it, the original player was/is out of luck.

Apparently you might not have looked at the collection section.



It shows:

• The SSA arcs the account has purchased.
• The SSA information about what SSA a mission belongs to.
• The SSA sequential number each is story-wise.
• The SSA contact and location.

What it doesn't do:

• Show SSA level range.
• Show if you have completed it at least once.
• Show if you have completed the arc for the special reward that week.

If you want that info, submit feedback in the I21 Beta Feedback Threads.
No, I just didn't quote all the patch notes regarding the Signature Story Arcs. What I quoted addressed most of Steelclaw's post. However you are right in that I didn't fully quote all the patch notes.

To address the rest of Steelclaw's wishlist:

Wish Granted? Check this post asking for feedback on a Issue 21.5 Beta change:

Slight correction: You can't do another counting tip mission until the fame point expires (20 hours). You can continue to do tip missions, but they will not count toward the 10 alignment points needed to get the morality mission to change or affirm your morality.

The fame points are just a way to let you know when you can do another counting tip mission.

I think you are still confusing Fame points with the alignment meters. Fame points keep track of counting tip missions you have done. The alignment meters need to be filled to progress on the alignment system.

You don't lose Reward Merits for changing alignments.

Hero Merits or Villain Merits are the reward for staying a hero or villain. If you cease to be a hero or villain (by completing a vigilante or rogue morality mission and accepting the alignment change), you lose the Hero or Villain Merits. You don't lose what you bought with those merits though.

There are several types of merits in the game (by date):

• Vanguard Merits - Issue 10
• Reward Merits - Issue 13
• Alignment Merits (Hero Merits, Villain Merits) - Issue 18
• Incarnate Merits (Astral Merits, Empyrean Merits) - Issue 20

Yes, this is correct.

Morality missions can be soloed with the same ease as any other tip mission.

---------

The thread for my alignment guide has an example. I guess it is time to duplicate it here so that you can see what is happening. This would also highlight the quickest way to change alignments.

---------

Fame points start decaying as soon as you get them, the hint text is non-existent for the first hour, for 1 hour to 19 hours the hint text tells you that you have been famous for that deed from the time you've completed it, after 19 hours the hint text counts down the remaining hour. All the time the Fame Point icon is shrinking, on its journey into nothingness.

Here is an example:

Keep in mind that you can have either 5-Fame Points in tips or 3 tips at any one time, whichever is less. Also note that while I am calling the fame points 1-20, it is only for descriptive purposes as you can only have 5 Fame Points at a time.

1. You are a hero.
2. Get 3 tip mission drops.
3. Fame point 1: Complete tip mission 1, vigilante option.
   • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 1 vigilante points.
   • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
   • Fame slot 1 is filled.
4. Fame point 2: Complete tip mission 2, vigilante option.
   • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 2 vigilante points.
   • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours. Hopefully during this mission you'll get another tip drop.
   • Fame slot 2 is filled.
5. Fame point 3: Complete tip mission 3, vigilante option.
   • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 3 vigilante points.
   • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours. Hopefully during this mission you'll get another tip drop.
   • Fame slot 3 is filled.
6. Fame point 4: Complete tip mission 4, vigilante option.
   • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 4 vigilante points.
   • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
   • If you still have a tip, you'll not get any more tips at this point.
   • If you don't have a tip, you can get one more to do the next Fame Point.
   • Fame slot 4 is filled.
7. Fame point 5: Complete tip mission 5, vigilante option.
   • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 5 vigilante points.
   • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
   • At this point you'll have to wait for Fame Point 1 to be forgotten (20 hours after getting Fame Point 1) to get more tips.
   • Fame slot 5 is filled.
8. Wait up to 20 hours for the Fame Point 1 to expire, or even all of them (if you've done the 5 missions in under an hour). As the Fame points expire the used Fame Point slots move to the left. The right most slot is the slot that will decay the soonest. For the sake of argument, let's say that all the Fame Point slots are empty at this point.
9. Get however many tip mission drops you can at this point (5-Fame Points worth, to a max of 3).
10. Fame point 6: Complete tip mission 6, vigilante option.
    • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 6 vigilante points.
    • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
    • At this point you'll have to wait for Fame Point 1 to be forgotten (20 hours after getting Fame Point 1) to get another tip.
    • Fame slot 1 is filled.
11. Fame point 7: Complete tip mission 7, vigilante option.
    • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 7 vigilante points.
    • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
    • At this point you'll have to wait for Fame Point 2 to be forgotten (20 hours after getting Fame Point 2) to get another tip.
    • Fame slot 2 is filled.
12. Fame point 8: Complete tip mission 8, vigilante option.
    • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 8 vigilante points.
    • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
    • At this point you'll have to wait for Fame Point 3 to be forgotten (20 hours after getting Fame Point 3) to get another tip.
    • Fame slot 3 is filled.
13. Fame point 9: Complete tip mission 9, vigilante option.
    • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 9 vigilante points.
    • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
    • At this point you'll have to wait for Fame Point 4 to be forgotten (20 hours after getting Fame Point 4) to get another tip.
    • Fame slot 4 is filled.
14. Fame point 10: Complete tip mission 10, vigilante option.
    • This will get you 1 vigilante fame point, for a total of 10 vigilante points.
    • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
    • At this point you'll have to wait for Fame Point 5 to be forgotten (20 hours after getting Fame Point 5) to get another alignment tip.

15. Get a tip drop. This will be a morality mission as morality missions ignore the fame point timer.
16. Complete vigilante morality mission, accept warnings.
17. Congratulations, you are a vigilante. This can be done in around 22 hours (21 if you are really working on it). The Fame Point timers are still in effect for regular alignment missions.

To take it to the next alignment step (to villain) will require about 40 more hours. Head to the Rogue Isles for tips.

1. Wait up to 20 hours for Fame Point 6 to expire, or even all of them (if you've done the 5 missions in under an hour). For the sake of argument, let's say that all the Fame Point slots are empty at this point.
2. Get however many tip mission drops you can at this point (5-Fame Points worth, to a max of 3).
3. Fame point 11: Complete tip mission 11, villain option.
   • This will get you 1 villain fame point, for a total of 1 villain points.
   • This fame point will decay to nothing over the next 20 hours.
   • At this point you'll have to wait for Fame Point 7 to be forgotten (20 hours after getting Fame Point 7) to get another tip.

I'll leave it there for 2 reasons:

1. It lets VIPs show how players have it better now than before Issue 21.
2. I don't feel like updating it again.

On the other hand, I do have a version close to what you've asked for:

This second chart is clearly not serious.

I hope someone finds this useful.

I know it is an old post: If you had scrolled up a few posts, I clearly show that I did do that.

Yeah, the game will not give you tips after a while. I'm still not sure why though.

Must... resist... the urge... to say something... that will get me banned...

Seriously though, I hope you feel better soon.

Well, the last teleporter sends you to the tunnel just before the Hamidon Avatar. Don't go up the stairs, just go down the hall.

As to the other teleports, every time you see an arrow going to another section, the hospital teleporter sends you to just before or just after it.

I think what you are looking for is "beginchat", not "startchat"

/bind enter "beginchat (Mezze) "

If you went to the correct spot, it wasn't just the sky... all the green disappeared.



Special spot:

I'd really recommend my guide: Guide to Going Rogue's Morality System - In plain English.

It is long, but well worth the read to clear up confusion.

Dig around in the trashcan (not the NPC, but the trashcan beside him).

There is an option in the bottom right when you click on it to hide unavailable recipes. make sure that isn't filled. You should be able to see a lot of recipes, uncommon, rare, purple, and pvpios. You can change the slider on the top of the window to change the level of uncommon, rare, and pvpio recipes. Purples are, of course, limited to level 50.

If you fill up a bar, you get a tip for a morality mission. This mission will either change or affirm your alignment.

The first time you affirm yourself as a villain, you get 50 reward merits. If you continue to reaffirm your alignment (in your case, villain), you get 1 Alignment Merit. Also after the first time you have confirmed your villain (or hero) status, you can get an Alignment Merit from the Signature Story Arcs. You can earn 11 or 12 Alignment Merits per week.

You can increase both independently, but generally you want to stick with one type of missions.

The change is not automatic. The reason you lose them is that they are an incentive to stay either as a Villain or Hero. Rogues and Vigilantes can go to either the Rogue Isles or Paragon City. They can also do nearly every task and strike force in the game.

Read my guide.

Guide to Going Rogue's Morality System - In plain English.

Since Sunday morning, even locking all 9 cookies doesn't seem to change things. I think they've messed around with their servers. Also, VBulletin embeds the user's IP Address, username, and password into the session cookies.

But almost every case of vbulletin forgetting users is the direct result of modifying the VBulletin cookies with add-ons. You know like tying user accounts into the log in or making an add-on like the character copy tool.

There was a forum planning committee before Lighthouse and Ex Libris left to get feedback from players that spent a lot of time on the forums. When asked about new forum software, the nearly resounding response was "anything but VBulletin".

Then they should get WAMP, make a test bed copy of the forums, and fix it off-line.

And, of course, today I can't stay logged in if I close the browser.

I had to change both of these to 2079 to stay logged in now. The TS32e4e1 cookie is a non-standard cookie tied to the forums. It is likely needed to enable the Character Copy Tool.

Recommend: Killing vbulletin. Failing that, remove the Character Copy Tool from the forums to remove the need for the non-standard cookie.

Also, if someone told you that you had to take the forums down for four hours to fix the hero skin CSS, they are outright lying to you. A CSS file replacement can be done on a live site. Worse, seeing the villain skin's CSS is working, they only need to copy some of the villain skin's CSS to the hero skin CSS and re-upload the hero skin CSS file to the server.

Finally was logged out this morning, so 3 days instead of every time I start the browser.

I've got all the tokens I've been entitled to so far, but even I'm confused about when I'm supposed to be getting my monthly perks. I also don't know if I'm going to be getting my yearly token & badge "on time".

There are a variety of ways to hurt/kill Decoys, and every one I find is annoying.

Things that can hurt/kill decoys (not complete):

• Hamidon
• Police Drones.
• Arachnos Drones.
• Falling damage in the Ouroborus zone (yeah, they do take damage there).
• Incarnate Trial explosions (crates, containment chambers, demolition charges)

Well if you get a choice of the other 46-50 contacts, do a mission for them, you should be sent to another 46-50 contact after the first mission. Repeat as needed. There are only 4 contacts that get introduced in that range.

Yes, a hero turned villain can get the badge.

Close enough.

I'm using a combination of Chrome and an add-on called "Edit This Cookie"

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...fhccceomclgfbg

After changing it, you can protect the cookie from being changed (Set to read-only). I'll note that I've not been logged out yet.

That advice isn't to protect -you-. That advice is to protect the rest of the group from getting splash damage from you. Think Judgement Ion or Chain Lightning.

You could have been near someone else that was targeted (I think it targets up to 8 players), you might have dodged behind something a little bit too late (yay, lag), or you didn't activate an inspiration or destiny fast enough.

That was included. Highlighted line.

You only get 1 token for a retail account no matter how many retail codes are applied to that account.

You could have any or all these:

• City of Heroes basic
• City of Heroes Collectors Edition DVD
• City of Heroes Deluxe Edition (Europe only)
• City of Villains
• City of Villains Collectors Edition DVD
• Good Vs Evil Retail
• Architect Edition
• Mac/Valkyrie Edition
• Going Rogue on-line code
• Going Rogue: Complete Collection (either the retail or full complete edition code)

If you had any or all of the above, you get a maximum of one reward token for them.
