Risk Taker is now being awarded to 39+ heroes ... where do you get the missions ? WARBURG !

The contact there will now offer missions to any character able to enter that zone.

It would say it would be possible ... the problem with that is the regeneration rate of the AVs/Hs in RV, the fact that you need 15-20 people plus heavies beating on them, all those heroes need to be confused constantly, and when confused your targetting reticle changes every power press (unless your target is the only 1 on the screen) ... that is ALOT of work just for 1 badge ... more work than any other badge a hero can get via confusion ... I am sure that someone is gonna try it, but to be honest, it won't happen any time soon ...

This kinda makes me sad ... I love toggle dropping ... It's what saves my blaster from the big bad brutes ...

My fire sword went from dropping at least 1 toggle 100% of the time (yes I did several tests on several different brutes, aswell as several different stalkers, this is of course IF my firesword hit) to a 5% chance to drop 1 toggle ? A 1 in 20 chance of dropping 1 toggle ...

I'll have a play and see how things go, but personally, I think it needs (all powers with the 5% to drop 1 toggle) to be upped to about 15% chance to drop 1 toggle at least, and those at 22% upped to about 35% ... I mean I have to contend with 2/3 of my attacks missing because of defense, now I have to contend with their defenses IF I hit aswell ?

OR! Give us a toggle drop enhancement to allow us to increase that percentage

Anyways, back to test to ... urrr ... well test ... :P

Question, Should the pillbox and heavies badges be under accomplishments or under achievements, as all other badges that have associated progress bars are in achievements ...

I'm not sure whether the badges for defeating the AVs/Hs in RV should remain in Accomplishments, probably so, as that is an accomplishment for your hero/villain, where as the pillbox/heavies badges are given by achieving a goal ...

Also, from what I have seen, contaminated appear regardless of which faction is winning in RV ... thats just waht I have seen, maybe he was a remnant of a previous hero win ...

Enhancement Test, and Enhancement Test 2 were the 2 things you could create in the invention tab at an empowerment station, I didn't test number 2 ... so I dont know if it will yield any different result in Enh

I remember reading somewhere, Masterminds were reporting this bug on Live (might have been on test) just before I7 hit test, so I would assume its to do with the mastermind controls, and not the dumb robot :P


I too could not find the mission contact ... I WANT MY RISK TAKER BADGE!

There is the problem at the moment with Heroes outnumbering Villains about 5-1, but think about it ... easier badges for your Ho .... urrr Hounds ... until they get upto scratch ...

No, they are not temporary powers .... they are Buffs ....

IE you have flight, so you can use an Increase Flight Speed Buff ...to do just that ....

I hope I can create my own level 50 HO's :P LOL!

The Invention Tab, and Enhancement Test(2) creates from 5 Abberant Tech, and 2 Amulet ...





wait for it





... a level 10 (well thats what it created for me) Damage/Accuracy Hamidion Origin Enhancement ...



I'm not sure whether its bugged ... because my character is level 50 ... or whether it was supposed to create it at that level ...

People whinge about this issue ... if it was implemented, it takes development time away from other things needed (ATs, powersets, bug fixes etc etc etc) ... blah blah blah ... And the halloween event ? and the winterlord event ? and '05 winter event ? and valentines day event ? I don't hear you complaining about those events, the fact they took valuable time away from development of other things ...

Not only that but a way to get Isolator for lvl 50 heros would = MORE CONTENT! Since when is that bad?! Even if it's one mission it's more content.

They've even admitted that they never datamined for this badge so if someone DID do the work they aren't getting their reward...I know I took out a good 50+ just from trying out different uses of my powers and teaming with friends that had just gotten the game.

Your mistook my statement ...

My meaning is that people are whinging that if a mission for Isolator was implemented, it would take development time away from other things, such as archtypes or powers, or bug fixes ... then made a sarcastic remark about them not complaining about other events which have done such a thing already ... translating sarcasm into words is often a problem ...

I would love an Isolator mission .. instanced, portal, go back in time ... I don't care, I just want another oppertunity to get Isolator

Your ignoring the part about the pre-I2 heroes that DID take out 100 contaminated ... how is it fair on those characters that put in the effort and have received no reward ? A redname (can't remember who ...) has said that it can't be datamined ... I would love for you to explain why these heroes should not get another oppertunity ...

And noone has said that ALL badges should be available ... One could say that Cold Warrior shouldn't have been given out during the '05 winter event because it was part of the Winterlord event ... it was a dev decision for that type of enemy to pop from presents ...

What about the people pre-I2, who DID take out 100 contaminated and received no badge ? There's no justice for those people ...

I don't have Isolator, I didn't even know it existed until a month after I left Outbreak, there was nothing in Outbreak to tell me about badges, and there might be one there for doing something extraodinary ... I would love to have it ... and I would love another oppertunity to get it ...

Lots of people have suggested many ways it could be implemented using everything that is already available in the game, things that won't require new zones, new contacts, new models or sounds ...

My suggestion ... ding 50, go see City Rep in Atlas, she sends you off to portal corp to cull the population of the contaminated world ... beef up the enemy, make'em 53 Bosses, no xp from them (to stop people attempting to PL on this mish), make it as difficult as possible to do this mission, but give us the oppertunity to get our Isolator badge ...

One suggestion I really liked was Beef_Cakes, making them a GM spawn ... Faultline would be a nice place ... seeing as you only go there for about 3-4 kill x missions ...

Those are my 2 cents worth ...

Ok so upgrading from CoH to CoH DVD will give my characters the ViP Accolade ? Excellent!

Regarding Isolator, I didnt know about the isolator badge until about 2 months after I started playing which was May last year, and had no idea to do searches on badges on the net before I left Outbreak, and I would love for my main to get it ... many people say its a reward for blah blah blah and shouldn't get it, others say we were here before badges blah blah blah and should get it ...

City Rep ...

Yes the City Rep ... Once you hit level 50, if you *DON'T* have isolator, she gives you a mission at portal corp, or an instanced mission, that is TIMED, so you can get there and defeat the contaminated and get your Isolator badge ... that is just a suggestion ...

Question for Positron: Do PVP encounters count towards badges ? IE Player X's dominator holds me for 20 minutes, until Stalker Y comes and assassinates me, does that 20 minutes of hold time and the damage from the AS count towards my Hold badge and Damage taken badge ...

Ok a little confused here ... your saying gladiator matches count towards your kill total for any given monster ?

Ie as if the villain has snakes, my team can kill them and eventually get the mongoose badge ? (or whatever else badge that requires kills)
