Now if you are currently on the last bit of your "buy 12 get 2 free" from last year I'm not sure if you can get that deal but I hope so because both of my accounts are.

EDIT:
Oh look they posted it in the announcements thread now. Wow bit late there.

Really nice pair of successful CoP's AND a great Rikti Raid, Omega.

Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Glad you keep supporting and running the CoPs because you seem to have it down. Great to see you branching out to the Rikti Raids too. I know you said it was impromptu but it was pretty well organized from where I was!

Great job. Thanks to everyone who joined too.

Go to your Badges, choose Veteran, scroll down and you will see Bonus Power. Hit the claim button and pick Sands of Mu or the Ghostslaying Axe. Personally I always go Sands because it can be a little cone.

Profit.

Bear in mind that that is active time though. You won't get that if the account unless the account was active for 12 months so active 3 months, inactive for eight and active for three months won't get it.

I run a lot of successful Mo runs (see sig) and I always deal with the last part of the last mission the same way:
* everyone gets to the Reichsy room
* tank/brute goes off and finds the AVs solo, deals with the ambushes and brings the AV back to the room for the team to kill
* as GW goes down, grab temps and head towards the T at the bottom of the room - make sure temps are in tray
* either MM pets/brute/tank or the team will go smack Reichs to start the ambushes and when they start go back to the T and take the ambushes there
* if the ambushes stop, go hit Reichs again but keep in the T otherwise; do not chase anything and make sure the whole team sticks tight in that T
* when the ambushes have stopped, grab temp powers and take out Reichsy

My main is a stalker and the difficulty I feel with the rooms at the back is the stalker can get in but unless someone is taking the aggro from the doors they keep getting interrupted trying to hit the glowie. Also you want as many mobs as possible in the main room to destroy them and that isn't my style for Mo's.

For me the T strategy is very effective, just requires a bit of patience but as a reward you get a lot of chances for drops.

I have been on a team which have tanked Reichsy and the ambushes BUT it wasn't a Mo, it was only five players and two were perma doms; there were still deaths so I certainly wouldn't do it on a Mo run.

Well done Kay; congrats on getting the key to the sever. Please remember to feed the server hamster or we all lag.

PL my 19-to-be?

P'thaqein, a D3 who started life in a Defender superteam became my latest and 18th 50 last night on a MoCuda.

My thanks to Sirken for starting the superteam, everyone who has teamed with her along the way and the guys on the MoCuda last night especially those who didn't when I mentioned I was still running a few level 15 IOs.

Another "Thank you for the communication" from me.

I'm absolutely delighted you didn't release the issue with those bugs because I for one would have been screaming about them. (The dom bug basically ends my MoLR runs.)

Let's hope this is the start of resumption of good communication from Dev/NCSoft to the player base because it has been somewhat poor recently.

*steals kitten*

*runs*

Very said to read this. I love herostats but also want my badges tracked. Really don't want to use two programs to do that.

I've used TP foe and a friend uses it a lot on squishies. I wouldn't use it on a stalker though because I'd rather assassin strike.

Usually I'd run a stalker at +3 or +4 (level) x2 or x3 (number of players) rather than +0 x4 though. I'd rather take out a few big targets than a lot of little ones. YMMV. (My fire/spines scrapper does go the other way +1 x8).

We were all new once.

I remember asking support how I do I claim vet rewards. Worryingly the first person couldn't answer it and escalated it to a 'senior customer support' dude.

Yes but as you take 10% isn't that only 12% profit?

I run CoX on two machines. Both have been very stable until this pre-download.

Now I am getting crash after crash. Sometimes with a message "needs to close" other times right to desktop without a message. It's on both machines.

Yesterday I crashed about five times within one hour - both machines.

This is pretty shoddy and while it seems that each issue gets more buggy this is a new low.

Please take some Dev time and go and find the problem and fix it. I pay you to play not to spend my time hunting bugs; that's what you are paid for. Nothing on my end has changed except the pre download. Nothing. Therefore the problem is at your door.

Those are absolutely fantastic.

Thanks for sharing.*steels 1337 base building skillz*

As always I will support any run you do and I'm delighted you're expanding the runs.

Red side:
I already have the badge and will bring whatever you want from: Stalker; Crab VEAT; Rad/rad corr; perma mind dom; fire/kin corr; dark MM; fire/dark corr is about 45

I want to bring my stalker for the Rikti Raid. All my blue chars have heavies already.

Blue side:
I no longer need to badge blue side and again will bring whatever you want from: Inv/ss tank (have tanked this before); spines/fire scrapper; fire/elec blaster; mind/ff troller; ill/sonic troller; dark/dark def (48)

Great to see your continued support of these Trials. I know it's easier to keep going when you have succeeded in them but the effort you put in and the great communication you provide is appreciated.

I queried using the Gurdian CoP Trial for instructions because I'm at the max limit for channels and I wondered about having a slot taken up by something I use so infrequently when Request is there and doesn't count. I take your point about people on the way back from the hospital but as you said; wakie/rez is a better option than 3 zones.

Anyway I'll be there with the following caveat; if the blue run starts very late I may bow out because it's quite late for me. I'll let you know after the Rikti Raid though. If you'd rather just presume I won't be around for that, that is fine.

It's been a pleasure leading this Master runs and helping so many people (including you Sinner) get the badges.

Yet another successful MoLR this morning.

Me - Mind dom
Professor Malice - mind dom
Vivixen - thermal corr
Lady Willow - kinetic corr
Jaffah - brute
JayB - brute
Blood Beret - MM
Countess - blaster

Very smooth run and some fantastic players here.

Sorry E that you couldn't join us - we did try and get hold of you because you missed yesterdays runs.

Not done by Mids guys, no guarantee builds will be able to loaded into i19 mids so I suggest keeping them in a separate folder.

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...1&postcount=36

I've got 'current' mids and that install on my HD with a separate folder for builds from that and it works fine.

Someone on Guardian walked from Ms Liberty to PI. Yes WALKED (using the Walk power). He deserves a badge but I really don't want to have to spend 90 minutes doing it for my badger but ... he does deserve one!

This is not your usual VG/SG advert. Might just want to skim the green bits.


SG MEMBERS

Precise: Will offer SG/VG home to players without strings.

I have two SG's and two VG's on Guardian (and quite a few on other servers). I don't recruit for them, however, I will always give a home anyone who needs one without any qualification or commitment required from you.

There are a lot of SG/VGs out there of varying styles. If you want a home for TP/med/vault/crafting table use while you form your own opinion on whether you want to join a SG/VG with rules or start your own private SG for you and your friends only, give me a shout, I'm more than happy to help. There are pro's and con's to both ways so make up your own mind.

No unsubstantiated claims about my SG/VG or me and no strings and no need to play in SG mode either (Link: although there isn't a penalty for doing so until level 25). Quit whenever you want; I'm just offering temporary homes while you find your feet.

I don't run great raids like Twilight Avengers, (Link: although I do run very successful Master runs) or am RP-focused or will always be around every evening between x and y. If you're new I can point you in the directions of channels for teams and I will always try and answer a question if I can. But I make no promises other than that!


COALITIONS

Precise: Will offer Coalitions to people who are growing new SG/VGs

For over two years I've offered coalitions to people starting up new SG/VGs. You get to use my porters/vault/crafting table while you build prestige for your own SG/VG. I've grown over half a dozen SG/VGs from nothing and I know it's a lot easier if you take out the cost of porters etc.

Again no strings and please break the Coalition when you no longer need it so I can pick up another group.


SOLO SG INVITING

Precise: Will happily pop a char into your solo SG to invite your alts

The lack of off-line inviting can be a pain to the solo SG unless you run more than one account. If you need your alts invited to your SG give me a yell I'm more than happy to drop an alt in there to do the invites then quit your SG. I've been doing this for quite a while for people who have asked in channels and in broadcast so might as well add it to this post too.


ME

Not really relevant as it's not a formal SG/VG but:
Link: I run my own very successful Master teams (no deaths/no temp powers). Including people who have never run that TF/SF before
27 month vet but most people think I've been around longer; I hear "You don't have ATT?!" pretty frequently (that's a 42 month vet reward)
A dab hand at researching information. I Moderate another games forum so am used to finding info from various sources and turning it into an easy-to-read guide
I play on five severs and have severe altitus/costume and base ho-ness
Am completely incapable of typing anything less than a wall-o-text
Does charity work for a cat's rescue charity (I wanted six points and "I won't tolerate idiots" looked a bit harsh. Completely true though. )


Like I said; not a typical SG/VG advert. If no one is interested that's fine but if you need a temporary home/coalition, give me a yell. @Capa Devans and @Capa Devans2

I enjoy the Shard TFs but don't need the badges.

Depending on what time it starts I would be very interested.

It's ok Kay, thanks for letting me know in good time; I appreciate it. Did have a couple of others missing too.

First run we went with:
Capa - mind dom, Armeros & Sinnersaint on blasters, Anne on a Sonic kin corr, Busta on a tank, Botley on a brute, Willow emping and Amp on his sonic.

Not entirely sure what happened on mission three but one took a fatal hit. It was going great until then. Got the hero grouped well and I could sleep with one aoe.

Majority verdict was a restart which was a bit unfortunate because Amp couldn't join us. So Anne swapped to a thermal MM and Alu kindly joined us on a sonic/rad def.

It went pretty well apart from the TF Snail leader being pretty nervous of the team makeup. All great people but I know my trundling can drive people crazy. My nervous herding of others almost got me wiped out by Ms Liberty in mission 4. Never before have I gulped so many heals and large purples. I'd have felt completely dumb if I'd died.

Fair play to everyone; some great tanking by Botley and Busta, Sinner and Arm were uncharacteristically unblaster like and didn't even get close to being hurt. Willow is always an asset and I know she'd rather be on a different char but she owns that emp. Awesome. Not sure what hit Anne a few times on the last mission but good save and her thermal buffs were very helpful.

I normally take Statesman last and Posi just before that. Alu suggested States first. I admit I wasn't convinced but really my only reason is so I can say "stay off the platform and you should be out of AoE". Alu was right; he is a pain to sleep, he does wake up easiest so it does make sense to take him first.

We did and Posi got lose, then babs. So I called an exit. Much credit to everyone who did exactly that. When we went back in they weren't settled and I was having trouble sleeping them so we logged for a couple of mins.

On the reset we decided to do States first again. While the team was having fun with him Posi got lose. Very odd because I didn't miss him either time so not sure what happened. Got him with a single target sleep that time so I was swapping between the AoE for most of them, the ST for him and ice bolt at the mini gun that woke and shot at me. Cit woke up at one point but luckily got him again. It felt very frantic from my end but at least I got some of the same excitement which no doubt the team was having with States.

They grabbed posi and one by one the others went. Couple took a shot at me but the team itself were rock solid. Credit to them and the buffs they were getting.

Congratulations and my thanks to:
Armeros - blaster
Sinnersaint - blaster
Busta Move - tank
Botley - brute
Willow - emp
Alu - rad
Anne - thermal mm

It wasn't advertised on the forums, Arm I'm not running it and I only found out about it by accident.

At the moment everyone is good. Kay has agreed to swap to an Emp. Willow is bringing buffage. I can solo dom so I just need to sort a tank. If I can talk Jaffah into alting to a tank then Anne can come in and we're all fine. Tanks are generally ok to find.

Sorry about this I honestly had no idea I'd be this over subscribed lol!

See you all tomorrow.

It may not be quantifiable but I don't think it CAN be quantified by the nature of the badge without a huge amount of effort which I'd rather see directed elsewhere.

I do badge but unless you are a very very small minority there will always be badges which are extremely difficult if not impossible.

For example, I'm a 27 month vet. That's a lot of badges (vet/anniversary) which I cannot obtain. Does it bug me that I can never get 100%? A little yes but not enough to ask for them to removed from the count because they're impossible. And impossible is a whole lot worse than very difficult and hard to quantify.

The app written by TheUnamedOne is great.

Tad rude for the thread to be hijacked by someone else for their app, though, irrespective of that apps merits/drawbacks.
