I hadn't checked on live servers yet, but isn't there achievement badges for the "no inspirations allowed" on Flashback missions? On test I got "uninspired" for the 1-14 level range (if I remember correctly) for setting no inspirations in the flashback challenge settings

[/ QUOTE ]

You are correct. According to Badge-Hunter.com there are badges for the no ispiration setting for all lvl ranges. And I just completed Lt Wincott arc with that setting, and got the 'Cliche' badge.

Hmm, it seems strange that people had so much trouble with Nosferatu. At first, I thought the mention of the second mission being difficult was a typo: the last mission was much harder for me, and Nosferatu died in the final battle. I don't have anything special going, just a fairly standard MA/SR scrapper. I pumped a lot of reds and two purples pre-battle (kinda standard if i'm trying to solo an EB), but he wasn't at all remarkably hard. Heck, I even managed to finish the TF within the 30 min time limit.

EDIT: Clarified who "him" was.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I found the last mission a little more difficult myself as well. When I got to the end where I fought 3 EBs, Nosferatu and umm...Burkholder? (I forget already ) were basically my tanks while I killed them. If they weren't there, I woulda needed several inspis and some temps to survive the massive waves of 5th Column as well as the 3 EBs I was fighting.

I've had some questions about if a character that hasn't been active for a while but is still listed as in a supergroup, if they will count toward the 20,000 grant. The 20,000 is applied for each member in the supergroup, regardless of their activity or status. If they show on the roster, they will be included in the 20,000 per member grant on the 10th.

That damage aura of his was hitting me through six lucks, every tick. His melee attacks were hitting about 50% of the time through six lucks. And that's on a character with a native roughly 44% def(smash,lethal). I don't think you can +def your way out of this one. What finally did do it for me was using all three nukes plus a Shivan.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I have no idea what build you used, and I suck with numbers, but with my Claws/Regen I used i think 2 big and 1 med purp, and a big red. Also hit IH/DP, and took him with little to no trouble.

It's for each toon listed on the roster, whether active or inactive, whether 150 toons from 15 accounts, or 150 toon from 150 accounts. If they're on the roster, you get credit for them.

[ QUOTE ]

I'll be trying this arc very soon on my scrapper. Hopefully I'll be able to take Nosferatu solo, otherwise I have a few Shivans as a back up plan. I remember trying to solo him as an Elite Boss during some mission in normal game play and he kicked my butt.

[/ QUOTE ]

bring 3 lucks and maybe a couple reds for him and you should be fine. Though a backup shivan isn't a bad thing.

Have run "rumblings of the past" where you rescue Fusionette...I puporsefully got her killed first mish so i could stealth it, which in turn made me fail. I still got the badges. (incl 30 min one, gold medalist)

Thx a ton Brad! *adds to favorites list*

I think the unintended consequences are unpleasant and bad for NCSoft though.

[/ QUOTE ]
May I ask what "unintended consequences" you are referring to? And just exactly how you feel they are bad for NCSoft?

See if a ton of people make up a ton of characters to pad their SGs then in the next quarterly report NCSoft gets to say; "The month immediately following our take over the number of active characters rose by 789,472. That's a 17% rise in player participation than under the old management. This is proof that the players are happy that we're in charge now and not Cryptic. This looks great for PR, and will be a great selling point next time we talk to any investors, stockholders, or potential clients."

And frankly I'm just not sure how us making a ton of padding characters is going to be "bad" for NCSoft in anyway. They obviously don't care that we're going to 'exploit' this little item. In fact Lighthouse all but came out and suggested that we do so.

Personally I like it the way it is. You want the full 3 million? Ok, but you gotta work for it baby! Too lazy to do that? Well then you get a smaller gift.

[/ QUOTE ]


Not only that, but how many people do you think are going to choose now to finally open that second, third or even fourth (see above) account that they always wanted? I know I did.

Note: I'm too lazy to read the whole thread
Also, I have 2 Sgs, one is brand new, awaiting Prestige Bump

SG Name: The Crimson Heroes Society
SG Leaders: Topher Wade, Klafmhob, Justice Gauntlet
SG Website (if any):None
SG Recruiters:those listed above. Though if you see anyone in game, they can do so. @Bohmfalk would be the easiest way.
Teamspeak/Ventrillo Server:None (SG leading nub)
SG Peak Hours:Anywhere from noon to midnight (Est)
Other Info: Uh...hi!

SG Name: Combat Vets
SG Leaders: Empinephrine, Klafmhob
SG Website (if any):None
SG Recruiters: Above named, @Bohmfalk or @Klafmhob is easiest.
Teamspeak/Ventrillo Server:None as of yet
SG Peak Hours:Noon-midnight(Est)
Other Info:None

Collective Info: These are pretty much a one person SG-duo. I have a couple friends with alts in the SG, though its nothing to brag about. I plan on opening this SG up a bit in the near future, just not quite yet.

<Edit> Collective info added.

Have you been in Atlas lately? Its alrwady going on. One recruitment Broadcast and Request after another.

[/ QUOTE ]

For one, that always happens. Plus, do you really spend all that much time standing around in Atlas just reading what everyone else says? Most people by now have realized that Atlas is a go in, get it done, and keep going zone. A lot of people don't even go to Atlas at all, just start out in Galaxy and avoid it all together.

[/ QUOTE ] Atlas Park is the zone that has the SG Register desk.

The reason you would see alot of broadcasts to join SGs there is because a bunch of level 10 noobs are standing at the desk broadcasting the SG they just made not because of the Prestige grant.

[/ QUOTE ]

....that too...

This whole Debt Badge thing disturbs me. I try to avoid getting debt but some yahoos play all the time like debt doesnt matter. Why do you have to encourage this behavior?

[/ QUOTE ]

Why does it matter to you if I want to have debt to get a badge?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because it rewards Sloth, Stupidity and Poor Tactics. Nuff Said?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would also like to say that to some, finding new and interesting ways to get killed, or seeing just how large of a +5 mob one can take, can be a whole lotta fun. Let people have their fun!

Well, I have yet to see a single person spamming anymore than the usual for SG members. You know why? bc all the SG leaders are much smarter than you give them credit. It's called padding. There's even a huge post for it, people trading pads on one server for pads on another. So stop worrying about something that you're afraid you might see. Also, every chat channel isn't going to be effected. If you get a tell, respond saying no thx. They will leave you alone. If they spam over broadcast, /ignore. If they keep bothering you, which would be a rare occurance, report them.

So how does CoH rate against others? Is it number 2 against WoW for over all MMOs? But on a happy note grats on being number one in sci-fi games

[/ QUOTE ]

And who says WoW is any better? Just bc WoW has a larger player base doesn't make it better. Just more popular. Big difference there.

For nearly $10 (including shipping) one can get a CoV or a CoH game with one month free. Is 240,000 prestige (12 slots) worth $10 to you?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ooops. If it's just one side of the game, it's only 8 slots and 160,000 prestige.

[/ QUOTE ]

Umm....there is no more getting "one side of the game" anymore :-D

[/ QUOTE ]

To be clear, getting the other side of the game was a one time thing. If you make a new account with just CoH you will only have CoH (or vice versa for CoV).

[/ QUOTE ]

oops....never mind then.

Yeah, but if it was customizable powers coming out first, I bet you'd be singing a different toon.


[/ QUOTE ]

Nope! I stated "one big bundle would be worth waiting for".

I have toons with weapons and without. So I definately would have the same opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

So I stand corrected. :-D

"So will we be able to change blaster color powers? Such as, Energy can change from blue to green, Radiation from green to red, Fire from Orange to Blue, Electric from white blue to a gold."




Nope

[ QUOTE ]

I was just stating that one big bundle would be worth waiting for IMO. and if you noticed, I also took the opportunity to praise the devs .. so I am not screaming "Not Enough", I know that they will work on powers for the future, I just think one release for all would be great. *crawls back under rock*

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but if it was customizable powers coming out first, I bet you'd be singing a different toon.

Another point on why Altoholism will still be with us....they just came out with 2 new powersets for 4 different ATs. And they're not done yet. Imagine the possibilities!

In response to the many coomplaints about not being able to come out with customizable powers at the same time as customizable weapons, from Zombie_Man's post


[ QUOTE ]
Does this mean color customization for all powers?

No. Not for all *powers* but for certain *weapons*. Colorizing the texture on the hilt of a sword is very different from colorizing the thousands of particles in a power. When Back Alley Brawler described how difficult it would be to code customization into powers, his examples revolved around the powers with particle effects, not weapons with polygons. If customization is coming for powers (if!), it's still a ways off.
