7 months... and all we get for a lvl 50 pvp zone is a rehash of Atlas Park? What a joke. I'm glad I didn't renew my account.

Can I have your........Aw nuts, I can't do it, joke is so stale.......

But I can offer a parting prayer for our disillusioned game mate, "Fare thee well on thine departure from CoX, and let not the door hitheth thee where the Good Lord hath spliteth thee. We look upon this not as the loss of a comrade, but rather as the gain of bandwith, and we shall not cry, but shall rejoice in this. All those present say Amen, and CYA!"

AMEN!!! and CYA!!!

I have an idea I would like to try out, but have to wait to get home to do it (I actually have a RL job I must attend to everyday) I'll experiment and get back to you if someone else doesn't answer it by then.

WEll on the first, you can have the command followed by a petsay command.

petcom_pow a follow def$$petsay_pow a Command Confirmed

as for the latter...I took algebra last about 3 years ago, so al the multiply stuff you mentioned flew right over me. I'm good with binds and such, but your question needs to be a tad bit clearer to properly address

[ QUOTE ]
What Cryptic/NC is concerned with are generally:

1) Image of character -- if you build it in the character generator. I'm not trying to say "we" own blue half capes, and I'm not trying to say we don't. If you build a character in the generator, and then have it drawn, if it's 100% the same character and you are profitting from it, then you might have a problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok...how about someone else profitting from my image? I have seen sites that, for a fee/price, they will draw your character "comic book" style. Is this ok? So I can pay someone for my image as long as I don't profit from it?

WOO HOO!!!! I was told by an sg mate I was in it but I wasn't sure...thx for the spoiler.

Well using this guide eliminates setting up a mountain of binds. I have expanded on it and am creating a guide for it as well. But esentially you want to consentrate your pet commands to the number pad. You create, for example, 3 txt files. 1st file is for general use (meaning petcom_all commands) the 2nd file will be for tier use and the 3rd file for individual commands. This way you only swintch between numpad formats to control your pets.

That is what makes this guide invaluable to masterminds. You can switch at least 9 binds in one keystroke (even in battle) to command your pets in an array of ways.

I haven't tried the $target use for a pet command, will have to try that. Glad to see you were able to solve the problem.

I want to command the targeted pet to goto.

"/petcom_name $target Goto"

[/ QUOTE ]

Now you're on the right track and by this I am understanding that you want each individual pet to attack or goto a specific target/location. Hopefully you mean tiers and not indiviual pets, as that would be one frustrating form of micro managing. But in any case here are the available commands for what I believe you want to do (and I will use necro commands as that is my main MM's primary):

(1) If you want you send your zombies to one location and your grave knights to another then you would use:

"petcom_pow zom goto agg" - for aggresive tier one goto
"petcom_pow grave goto agg" - for aggresive tier two goto
"petcom_pow zom attack agg" - for aggresive tier one attack
"petcom_pow grave attack agg" - for aggresive tier two attack

(2) Individual pets would be commanded depending on the name:

"petcom_name zombie1 goto agg"
"petcom_name zombie2 goto agg"
"petcom_name zombie1 attack agg"
"petcom_name zombie2 attack agg"


if you renamed each pet then substitute 'zombie1' with the new name.

I personally do not use the latter as, like I said, is tedious. Also, in order to use the attack command, you need to have a foe targeted. Try these binds and reply if they work (I am not sure I have the syntax correct for the single pet command)

I would also suggest to place this in a text file and then use the /bindloadfile command to load them. Any questions, reply here, PM me, or look for me in-game @Kenja

I made a version that toggles between all pets and $target, but it doesn't work. Does anybody know how to target a pet in keybinds?

[/ QUOTE ]

How do you mean? Please explain what you want to do, or rather what you want your pets to do.

[ QUOTE ]
If it spawns on exitting the mission, how do you control what zone he spawns in (for instance, how did you expect to spawn him in SC when I'm certain that the mission isn't located there).

[/ QUOTE ]

My point exactly! Everyone is talking about "making Kronos Spawn in zone X" and then I get 2 replies saying he is an ambush after a certain mish from Crimson in a certain story arc. To my knowledge, missions are given a specific location, thus you cannot control where the mission that spawns the ambush will show up.

Secondly, I saw the screenies of the 3 Kronos in one zone. That slightly disproves the ambush theory as it substantiates the "making it spawn" statement. However, game mechanics only allows one or the other to be true.

So again the question, HOW did you make the Kronos spawn? or more specifically, how did you organize yourselves to create multiple simultaneous spawns in one zone? (namely the one poster who claimed to making it spawn in X zone "just because")

OK...but noone yet has answered the question .... HOW DO YOU SPAWN KRONOS???!!

Try GameAmp They're pretty good

Keep in mind also that if you're running your son's missions in warbug (door missions) and you lk him thus greying out the enemies, you may not be helping the badge as you won't be gaining XP even though you're fighting through the mission. Like the last poster said, PvP may have a coding issue with awarding.tracking mentoring time. Try to run regular missions in regular zones. I am almost on my third badge, so I know it is not bugged and I do lackey within missions etc. no standing watching the perverbial paint dry. Also I reluctantly suggest to PM Posi and Cuppa, someone will get back to you. Explain the situtation (not grief that the system is bugged or something) and they should help you...after all Posi would never had known about the PvP time badges being buggy if players didn't come forth with their concerns/issues (well maybe not never...but you get the point)

If you have a lackey, you mean you would actually waste 10 hours of game time just to get the Boss/Mentor badge? Run missions! I have 2 of the Boss/Mentoring badges and I can tell you I rarely lakey anyone (not because I don't want to but because I usually have even level teams and it's usually a friend or SVG mate who wants in on the action). I don't think it's bugged and should be working as intended (i.e. time is calculated by gaining XP) I mean seriuosly, what kind of boss are you if all you're doing is teaching your lacky how to be lazy? (In the RW you'd be fired, right!?!)

OK I am missing something. Please clarify any points in the creation process:

1. Create a folder where you want the random text to be saved: C:\coxbinds\random

2. Download sleep.exe file and save it to C:\coxbinds\random

3. Create a txt file and name it <filename>.bat

4. In the *.bat insert this:
[ QUOTE ]
@echo off
:TOP
for /f "delims=~~~" %%i in (phrases.txt) do (echo <key> %%i>filename.txt)&&sleep 1&&echo %%i
GOTO TOP

[/ QUOTE ]
5. Create another text file in C:\coxbinds\random and name it <phrasefile>.txt

6. In this phrase file insert any number of phrases (once I get the basics I'll experiment with powers and emotes):[ QUOTE ]
z “local Is that all you got?!$$bindloadfile <directory>\*.txt"
z “local You’ll need to better than that!$$bindloadfile <directory>\*.txt"
z “local I am $name hear me….um speak!$$bindloadfile <directory>\*.txt"

[/ QUOTE ]


I only got it up to there. If the command is correct, what do I do next to make it work in game? Do I log on and execute a command (a /bindloadfile command)?

Thx for responding...I was going batty trying to get this to work!

Nope still not working...I know I am doing something wrong...and I bet it's so obvious I am going to feel stupid when it's pointed out . Any help on this would be great!

How do you alter the .bat file to execute a power as well as a random phrase?

Thanks...since I rarely do PvP, I tend to skip over PvP issues. However, I am becoming more of a fan as the time passes so I will be paying more attention to those.

BTW, FYI (for those like me who did not know) there are no beacons for PvP zones.

Is the 50 PvP mission badge bugged? I received it this past saturday, but I can tell you that I did not run 50 missions.

oh and they don't reward vendetta either. Meaning you can't kill the same player too consecutively or you'll get "You recently defeated this player so you don't get any reputation for the defeat" or something along those lines. Let someone else irk you for a bit before turning your sights to the main person hindering your villainy (or heroism as the case may be)

Does anyone know if the player to player healing affects the Base healing badge? or only infirmary healing counts for the base badge?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I posted this on the player's questions forum, but figured i'd get a faster more accurate answer here.

For the SG healing badges, does a player that already has max health get credit towards a healing badge for healing himself? Or for that matter does he get credit for healing himself at all?

[/ QUOTE ]

Healing badges have always been "heal another person for damage they actually needed healed". So healing yourself wouldn't work, nor would healing anyone who is full health.

[/ QUOTE ]
I thought the SG healing badge was for base healing not player healing, meaning that it's for the amount of healing made by the infirmary not the players. I already have my first healing badge and close to the second one and not even halfway on the SG badge (unles the heal number is ridiculously high )

No..Babbage spawns in Boomtown. But doing Synapse is easier. That is a guaranteed badge! among others you get on that TF.

Alexa! NOOO! Not you too! My villainous heart is feeling something strange (it is beating with some kind of emotion I read is called "loss" or "sadness" maybe both)

Look if it's about Statesman new baby, he won't level for another couple of years. your safe really! (I and my Circus will protect you)

** Secretly throws down Tar Patch **

"that should slow down your departure"

...you know Cuppa goes on vacation and the forums, the game, the devs, everything goes haywire...

** runs out to find Cuppa's vacation thread **

Arctic, as a writer, editor, and creative analyst, (among a plethora of other titles) I always looked up to you. It is a sad day to see you leave, but I will do my best to keep all your work in backgrounds and zones alive in my fiction (to appear in my website currently under construction).

My sincerest thanks for all you have done for the game and the community. You will be missed!

Good Journey...

I am putting the requirements for Contacts - and their location - in the Prima Guide...

but here was our intent with these Contacts - reward Exploration. Reward people who poke around to find new things. Now, the down side is that once found, these Contacts don't inform the player about what it takes to unlock them.

[/ QUOTE ]


Don't get me wrong, rewards are good. But, would you consider some type of hints in-game for the non-forum, non-guide reading folks?

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree, something in game would be nice. I started a similar discussion last month about the contact hierarchy but also touches upon those hidden contacts.
