Quote:Or you could look at this like a Master badge, where you have to count on your friends to get it for/with you. And by that, I mean I will be happy to log your account in while you're at work.Originally Posted by Roderick
I dislike when I'm forced to rely on other people for my badges. I'm not talking about team-related stuff, like a Master Badge, I mean that it will be impossible for me to log in during that window, so the only way for me to get that badge is for 2500 other people to earn it for me.
It'll be a shame for you to miss the event, but I'm not gonna let one of my buddies go badgeless!
Hopefully we'll both be available for the Victory server raid, yeah?

Quote:Placate does not put you in Hide.Originally Posted by JD_Gumby
Placate sends you into Hide, so it should suppress the aura.
For one, you don't get the defensive bonus that Hide provides by using Placate. And, as others have pointed out, any offensive toggles will still hit through Placate when they won't through Hide.

More like "/energy = reroll", am I right? Huh? Huh?
Pretty much this. It works okay as an "oh <bleep!>" button to get you away from a fight that's going south early in the game, before your defenses can be enhanced to the point where they actually mitigate damage properly... but it's very expensive for the benefits it provides compared to what you'll have available later in the game.Quote:Originally Posted by Jibikao
Repulse sucks. <snip> I never understand the design behind a pbaoe repel on a melee toon. It may have some use in PvP.
That, and teams will hate you if you use it regularly in combat (unless you're REALLY good at corralling enemies). -
Wow, I missed the train for that drama storm. I can see why the badge community was so P.O.ed...
Here's hoping the solution they come up with is better for those of us who don't have (and don't want) any characters on Freedom. -
Achievement: Got the "Partner" badge on Sunday night after 41 runs of the 24-33 Treespec in 4 nights.
Disachievement: Temporarily burned out on the game...
Disachievement #2: Out of badges to earn until i20.5.

Both Tier 3s need to be from the same Incarnate tree, though. (So you can't build a T4 Musculature out of a T3 Musculature and a T3 Cardiac, for example.)
They also can't both be the same T3. -

I wonder if any of those six have been able to unlock all five Incarnate Slots? It would technically be possible with the LFG option. You would have to purchase all your enhancements through the market (or make them through the market.)
As for enhancements and what-not, you could always email them to yourself from a Primal character who's been running content. -
Looks like it's about time to go video card shopping, Masque.

... I don't even know what you were complaining about, Quil. All I know is that you didn't get what you want, but have no clue what that ungotten thing was.

Quote:$9.99 is the 50% discount. A 5-pack of character slots usually goes for $19.99.Originally Posted by Draeth Darkstar
The price on the in-game store (9.99) is what is showing up as the debit pre-authorization on my online bank account page. I'm going to be a little miffed if I end up spending $60 on this instead of the $30 I anticipated because of this announcement.
(If you already knew that, then I apologize, but it wasn't clear from your message above.) -
I've got a few Brutes I've been working on. Since the Inherent Fitness buff in Issue 19, I've been digging my Dark/Dark Brute.
Historically, I also really enjoyed my EM/EA Brute, despite everyone's deep dislike of Energy Aura. I find it much more survivable than Super Reflexes in most situations, since it allows you to slot a bit for resistance as well as defense (but I also refuse to min/max with IOs to softcap). And the addition of the heal to the set a year or so ago, combined with how often you can fire it off, really make a difference.
I also really enjoy my Elec/Elec Brute.
I'm not too keen on the SS/Invuln or SS/SR Brutes I made; I could probably respec the SS/Invuln into something pretty decent now, but SS/SR probably needs to be re-rolled as SS/WP... (Have I mentioned that I really hate SR?) -
Quote:They got $40 from me over that. I moved both my Victory hero and villain badgers over to another server (Freedom, maybe? It's been a while...) and back in order to get Power Liberator.Originally Posted by Lothic
I know there were people several years ago who temporarily transferred characters to other servers just to take advantage of leftover IoPs to get the Power Liberator badge.
I never really regretted it, but I probably wouldn't do it again. It was, after all, literally a waste of money.
For some reason, I had it in my head that CoV launched on Halloween 2006. My bad.Quote:Originally Posted by OV_ohms
CoV went live in 2005 -
Woot, I can make even more characters on Victory!

Quote:Do not want. I get annoyed with people talking in my RPGs, so I stick mostly to classic-style and text-based RPGs. And from what I've seen in MMOs lately, they don't exactly shell out the big bucks for quality voice work.Originally Posted by LISAR
Voice actors for all NPCs.
A list of things I'd like to see added/changed for CoH2:- Assymetrical costume options
- Customizable character voices (kid, teen, adult, robot, beast, etc.) and posture/movement
- Personal apartments/lairs (small, low-functionality bases for one)
- Morality choices for most missions that affect how the community perceives you--do you arrest the bank robber, kill him, beat him up and steal the money for yourself, or join him?
- Every class needs one decent ranged attack and one decent melee attack available early-on (not just the goofy starter temp powers).
Things I DON'T want to see changed:- Endurance as fuel for powers (I HATE the way Champs handles their power fuel)
- Combat based on power recharge (though this could continue to be eased in the lower levels)
- Enhancements and enhancement slots (I'd agree with earlier posts that IOs should not be available at launch)
- Class-based character creation (though I wouldn't mind some more blending between ATs... I'd love to play an Assault/Defense character, even at reduced damage/defense)

Quote:I thought they closed down the NA->EU server transfers very shortly after City of Villains launched, making the transfer of SG bases and prestige pretty much useless (since that's when bases and prestige first came into play)? It was definitely shut down by March 2007. And didn't they just transfer your characters over as-is, with your inventory completely intact?Originally Posted by OV_ohms
The passport badge (along with a couple of free character slots) were given to us as incentive/compensation for losing all our inf (except what we could carry in SOs), prestige and SG bases when we made the move from US to EU. Of course, Issue 9 combined with reactivation weekends let us recover most of the inf, less a 10% fee
They also didn't have the ability to get more than 8 (or 12, for a CoH/CoV combo account) character slots until May 2008, so they couldn't possibly have given you free character slots for an NA->EU server transfer. -
Quote:Blocking the Ouroboros Portal is intentional. People were exploiting it by dropping O-portals on glowies so people would accidentally click on them and leave the PVP zones.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master

Quote:Didn't have to be you specifically... I'd have the same reaction to anyone who claims to be a badger and treats other badgers that way.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
I don't know, insulting me shouldn't be grounds for people not helping him. However he should have come out less sarcastic and hostile.
My favorite part about City of Heroes' badge community is how willing everyone is to help everybody else, and it burns me up when someone drops in and starts rudely demanding things and generally acts the way the OP has been acting. -
I heard someone say that discounted character slots were mentioned in tonight's podcast...

Quote:So what, EVERY TIME someone asks this question, someone is expected to type out the full description? Get over yourself.Originally Posted by Tamerlayne
Ty Frosty, don't mean to sound Snippish but 'providing links' not actual answers just pisses one off...
We're lucky that we have someone like Snow Globe that goes through the effort to catalog these badges and the conditions under which you can and can't get them in a user-friendly way.
Since that link DID answer your questions, I believe it's your ability to read that "FAILed."Quote:Especially when said links have FAILed so many times before.
Don't be surprised when you find that the badge community doesn't jump to arms to help you collect any badges you might need a team to help with. And don't worry about getting another response like this from me, because with the attitude you've shown, you're going straight to my ignore list. -

So, when will it be "flipped"

I'll definitely agree that the Hero respec trials are slow-paced, but I like the premise. As other people have said, it'd be nice if the end spawns were sped up considerably.
The only "upgrade" I want to see made to the trials is that they should use some of the new UI developed for the i19/20 TFs and Trials; timers counting down to the next ambush and the reactor's health for Heroes, and vine counters and AV health for Villains.
(Speaking of which, has anybody else noticed how borked the vine counters are for the Villain respecs? Usually less than half the team can see them.) -
