Bandeeto

I just wanted to check something which seemed a bit... off.

Day 1 - did 1 tip mission, gained 1/10 in the vill bar and 1/5 in the fame bar
Day 2 - fame bar empty, did 5 tips, now at 6/10 villain and 5/5 fame
Day 3 - fame bar empty, did 4 tips, now at 10/10 villain and 4/5 fame... no morality mission available, but had another standard tip mission drop.

Did the last tip mission, now 10/10 villain and 5/5 fame. Morality mission then appeared in contact tip list as now available. This makes it appear as if you need a full fame bar as well as a full villain bar to get your morality mission. Bugged or WAI?

Also, maybe to add to the guide...what's the recharge for the Frenzy power (and related powers) or is it a one shot power?

Thanks, folks! I post, leave for vacation, and come back to this happy news. Wheeee! Good fun!

PM sent to Avatea.

If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.

I've encountered this a number of times, and it's most annoying.

I order the bots to Def/Attack my target, but then it becomes clear that the aggro is a bit too heavy and I'm likely to take serious injury, so I switch mid-combat to Def/Follow and they switch to inert piles of metal, taking damage all the while.

There seems to be a several second lag while the AI gets used to the fact that we're still under attack and they need to respond. Happens a lot. Luckily the BG part of the command seems to kick in immediately.

Also, I can't help but notice that once in combat the pets have a TERRIBLE time responding to Goto. Def/follow, combat in progress, bad guy runs, bots run after him.

"STOP I say, STOP! Def/Goto next to me!" Bots still running away. Hit the command 10 more times. Bots repeatedly do the hokey pokey, taking a few steps towards me and then trying to run after the bad guy again. Takes a severe effort and much mouse clicking to get them to relent and by then it's usually too late.

This sort of behavior makes it nearly impossible to avoid aggro-ing other mobs. Goto seems to be largely over-ridden by the AI's desire to KILL/CHASE!

Seems poor coding to me. There should be nothing short of the apocalypse that should over-ride a goto command. The whole point is to keep them at range!

Howdy fellow MM fans. This question is really basic.

I'm looking for the real numbers on all the Bots' abilities, shields, attacks, missile patches, all that great stuff and especially stuff they get with Equip and Upgrade. Normally I would get this info from Red Tomax's CoD, but over the last few months large sections of CoD seem to give errors with no data, such as:

"Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/local/share/www/cox/includes/coh/effect.class.php on line 248
0 Smashing damage"

Does anyone have stashed away the real numbers for all the Bots' powers, especially the ones obtained from Upgrade and Equip, that they could post?

Thanks in advance!

While folks have keyed in on the Cairns of the DE as a pain in the neck, and they are, I tend to find the DE Guardians and their Quartz eminators most annoying. Unless your survival is purely resist-based, ONE single Quartz sitting anywhere in the area and the team gets shredded like tissue paper. :P

It is notable that CoT start off horrible from the get-go, transition through semi-horrible, and end up relatively trivial in the end-game. Once you get past the spawn levels for spectrals and earth thorns things mellow out quite a bit.

I concur with most of the things mentioned thus far as being very ebil, and also with the assessment that it's ALL about the AT.

Ranged or melee, lockdown or stealth, defense or resist, there's something out there that has your number...big time.

However there are some mobs that honestly it doesn't matter what you are. They are either annoying or deadly or both...plain and simple.

In this category I put KoA. 'Trops/stun/webnades and +Perception along with a tendency to launch ambushes from half-way across the map... if I see a mission with Knives, I look for the fastest way to finish it. Some troller/dom types get off easier, but not always. Also Vanguard, for the reasons mentioned previously.

Are there any plans in the works to allow precise customization for ambush makeup? Said customization would also let us adjust the ambush for party size and difficulty ratings.

For example, I'd really prefer not to get 4 EBs in the ambush when what I wanted was 1 specific EB and a supporting cast.

Resurrecting this thread to ask a question.

Is the presence of Offer the Soul of Akarist in the Wiseguy range in Oro not a bug? Given that the contact is only available in the 25-29 range, shouldn't the badge mission for him be in the same range rather than 30-34?

Point being, at lvl 32 I can't do the mission, since I've outleveled Tarixus but am not high enough to run it in Oro.

Most annoying. Unless I hear otherwise from you folks I'll bug it directly to a dev and in-game. Shouldn't have to wait 3 more levels to 35 or hunt up someone with mission just to get Demonic.

Interesting...while SS/SJ/CJ and Ninja Run are mutually exclusive, when I tested it turns out Hover and Ninja Run are fine together, with both remaining toggled on.

Doing a running jump, flipping, and then hanging in mid-air - very cool. Detoggle Hover and keep on trucking.

Want to comment again on the effects that accompany running and jumping backwards...just too cool. The full-layout backflip alone is amazing.

Someone mentioned that bow + NR is cool, and so it is, but I am getting some substantial clipping with the bow. Mostly with the cape, but some with the side/back.

Among the awesome things about Ninja Run on a Katana/SR:

1) Running with the katana out is supremely cool. Point down at the side in the classic pose when running, sword-arm wraps around body with jump/flip. Just great.

2) When you run backwards you turn towards the camera and run while peeking over your shoulder.

3) Jumping backwards leads to a FULL LAYOUT BACKFLIP! *squeeeeee!*

Also, with Quickness(1 IO)+Hurdle(1 IO)+Sprint(1 IO)+NR my lvl 39 has Run Speed 50 mph and Jump 57 mph. Not quite up to the capped 86 mph I get with SS, but darn good!

Last night, running solo on my lvl 45 corruptor, mission settings: +2/2/no bosses/no AVs.

Everything I see is a lvl 47 minion or Lt., so not bugged in that direction.

A minion drops a Hecatomb proc. Happy day, song and dance, lalalalala etc.

Is that supposed to happen? (The drop, not the happy. :P )

I was under the impression that this shouldn't be technically possible.

Note that none of the other IOs that fell during the mission, common IO nor set IOs, dropped rated at lvl 50.

Glad they are fast-tracking the Demonic Accolade fix. Was annoying.

On the plus-side, two of my alts now have High Pain Threshold as that was the only way to get Demonic to award. Of course, I'm now cross-eyed and dizzy from circling The Flop in St. M for an hour or so to get enough Consiglieres. :P

Saw this one last night, and it seems to be new, but may have been reported elsewhere. Curiously it wasn't there when I16 first dropped, so something has changed in the last few days.

While running a street sweeping team we found that the animation for Stimulant was messed up. Specifically, the "tricorder" appears, and lets out a beam, but it's suspended off to the side. Instead of holding the tricorder, the character does a brief version one of the bent over animations (like the one that preceeds Council bosses converting to Warwolf when their HP are low).

There were 3 people on the team with Simulant, and all 3 had the same issue. Two males, 1 female. It occurred in Skyway as well as Faultline, remaining a problem between zones. Lvls were 17-20.

Fascinating. Well I suppose I could always go get Gangbuster. Probably could manage that long before they'll manage to fix the bug. :P
