So I guess the answer that I'm looking for, is that you can get the badge if you are native to the same side as the mission holder, or you are the mission holder, or if you are on a team through flashback.
Snowglobe, I hope you feel better someday. -
Quote:Ok, so I guess it must be a blue side/red side thing then. When I did the hero arc, all blue side people got all the badges. [edit] I can personally attest to the fact that a fellow blue side player earned the badge for completing the blue arc when I called it in.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
No, they do not. I can personally attest to this. A friend that had a hero in level for the arc took a rogue stalker, a certain rogue Illusion/Empath (myself), and a third character through the arc. Everyone got the No One Left Behind badge, but only the mission holder got the Helping Hand badge.
Different badge requirements.
Yes, you have to be a villain/rogue and either own the mission or possibly do it via flashback. As I said above, it is NOT true on the hero side.
I thought they were trying to move past this kind of thing. Plus there seems to be some inconsistency because someone else got around this by using an oro portal in a base. -

For what it's worth, that badge is awarded after the 5th mission, a full mission before the end of the arc. Are you sure it's not in your "Most Recent" badge list?

There should be an "I wear makeup" badge for mistyping rouge 50 times.

I tried to earn the two badges for the new villain story arc. I am a Vigilante, so I asked a villain friend to run it with me. We both wound up with the connected badge, for doing a side contact. For some reason, when the story was over, he earned the keeper of coral lore badge while I did not. I sent a petition.
I got this response:
"It appears "SadysCHICK" was not introduced to Vincent Ross before the mission. The Keeper of Coral Lore badge is only available to characters that have the mission assigned by the contact, though it is possible to participate in the mission with another character that does have the mission assigned. This appears to be what happened in your character's case.
You can find more information on this topic on the City of Heroes and City of Villains message boards."
This seems like kind of a weird response. First of all, everyone on a team doing the equivalent hero arc gets the badge. Second, I think if this explanation held true, then why did I earn the "connected" badge?
Something else happened. When I spoke to the contact after the story was done, he gave me the greeting dialogue, and I could choose one line to respond with. (I chose the "make sure he isn't protean in disguise" one.) After that, he said "I have nothing for you!"
So, I'm confused. Clearly SOMETHING isn't working as intended. Do I have to be a villain/rogue and "own" the mission? Why isn't that true on hero side?

In my experience a lot of MM's don't use their buffs and debuffs all that much. They just let their pets do all the work.
If pet participation isn't tracked than that might be the cause of MM's not getting propper rewars. -
Quote:That is definitely worth looking into, I think. Sorry to hear that.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Well, I was just on another Tin Mage TF, and several times I wasn't given any warning at all the prox mines were going to go off.
Except any explosive near the exploding mine also goes off, so a good portion of the room becomes a damage zone. And in the time you peel yourself off the floor, another bomb is planted at your feet.
Oh, and during the rezzing process you get the -4 level shift, even if you have the alpha slotted. -

I'd like to see Director 11 confused and blown up by his own bomb-ghosts.

Happy birthday! Is the 'western' themed hami raid next week in honor of you or something? lol

Where would you suggest, exactly? The whole place is covered in bombs.

I think you missed my question, which was why don't you trigger the bombs and be somewhere else when they go off? I think that still works, doesn't it?

Quote:If you can dodge a blue field, you can dodge a trip mine. or run through them at superspeed, (or ninja run) setting them off without taking damage.Originally Posted by OneWhoBinds
...correct me if I'm wrong, but the bombs are all on the ground, right? Wouldn't you just need everyone to be flying (you know, with a purchasable jet pack, if nothing else), and then level him with ranged buffs, controls, and attacks?
Or can the mines actually trigger and damage a target 20 feet off the ground? Admittedly, this can make the Tanks/Scrappers/Brutes/Stalkers a bit useless in the fight, but hey... -
Quote:Source on this? [edit]I mean, I know for a fact that we set off bombs without taking damage and got the badge. There was nothing in today's patch notes that indicated you can't do that anymore, I think.Originally Posted by TrueMetal
That was before I knew you weren't allowed to trigger a single bomb in order to get the Mo badge though.

Quote:There is a LOT of notice when one is about to go off from floating text.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Given the overly large amount of proximity bombs, it is unlikely that anyone would be able to dodge the proximity bombs. If a single player takes any damage from them, no player on the team gets the badge.
He isn't the one throwing out the bombs. The 3 INVISIBLE critters that CANNOT be targeted are running around dropping bombs even IF the Director is immobilized or held.
Ok, are you absolutely sure the invisible critters are still mobile and actively planting more than one bomb even if Director 11 is held and or immobilized? Because we had absolutely zero trouble with him in that state. -
Quote:No, it really doesn't. First of all, you can trigger them and run away before you take damage.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
This means that unless players defeat the Director in under a minute they will never get the badge.
Secondly, it's really easy to immobilize him after you hit him with a power that reduces his protection from it. -
Quote:As one of the melee people, my take on it was we had enough for one melee team, one taunting team, and the rest were ranged. The yellows went down really fast since we focused on those.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
What did we have more of on Saturday? I can bring a Blaster next week, or my Earth/Storm Controller. Not sure which would be more help.

Happy BDAY!

Quote:Director 11 is supposedly THROWING the bombs everywhere. This is a power that does not exist in the game, so it is being simulated with sneaky methods. That's my take on it.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
By the time we finished fighting him in the Tin Mage TF I did, there were bombs EVERYWHERE. The floor was covered in them. Including places that Director 11 never even got close to. I was running around trying to set as many off as I could just so there was floor to stand on again.
In my opinion, the fight with Director 11 was worse than Battle Maiden at the end of the Apex TF. I haven't heard a single other person complain about it, so it's likely that something just went wonky in the run that I did... but it was definitely ridiculous beyond reason. -
Quote:Can they? Maybe they just spawn where he is, place the bomb and die? You're assuming an awful lot.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Invisible guys that can just run around willy-nilly and drop them wherever, even when Director 11 isn't even remotely close. Right.
-
Quote:He is supposed to be dropping them, the invisible guys are just how it is implemented.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
First post after redname!
Kinda sucks that the invisible minelayers can't be defeated any longer, but I can't say that I didn't expect it. (Still, is there a good reason for the dude to have invisible minelayers to begin with?) :/
[edit]Still no /facepalm, like the t-shirt from San Diego promised us? Any word on that thing? lol -
Regarding respecs, I found that inherent fitness makes it a lot easier to move slots from a lower power you don't want them in. If you usually 4 slot heath and stamina (I put the healing procs in), you can slot those right away and don't have to "waste" them on an early shield power or whatever.

Thanks for the advice guys, but I'm not okay with loading up a new program or fiddling with my system for such a small problem - in the tech problem section I was told that I could correct this by disabling something in Win 7, which I'm not comfortable with.
And yes, I've tried pasting the screenshot into Paint, Word and IrfanView.
