Unlock the Lore Incarnate slot in I20 and a Mk-VI Victoria pet is yours.

Of course there's a point. You have to have one Hero badger, one Villain badger, one Rogue badger, and one Vigilante badger.
What a silly question.

People still pay for costume changes?
Anyway, seems like a pretty meaningless badge that could be obtained in about 5 minutes. /unsigned, give me something worth doing -

massive wall of text complaining about no temps and no deaths on Master runs
2. Yes, the "no deaths" stipulation does put an unwanted pressure on the whole thing, which I suspect is why the Master runs for Apex and Tin Mage have different requirements (that and because of how often people die on those TFs). The Master runs for the BAF and Lambda Sector trials next issue will work similarly to those, so I suspect old style Master Runs will remain a thing of the past as far as future badges goes. -

About 99% of the time, you won't get a reply from /bug. Very, very, very rarely, when you bug something QA finds incredibly interesting, you might get a response for clarification/further details/whatever.
If you want a reply, /petition.

Tossing in my vote for Grav/Kin. Grav slows down, Kin speeds up (and slows down).

Not gonna lie. I would actually rather like to see some new Freakshow group using Rikti weapons. That would just look awesome I think. Similar to the sonic Freakshow from the one TF (Sister Psyche I think?)

Everything is relative. One person's "completely reasonable amount of playtime" is another person's "grinding".
The idea that this could possibly happen seems to be eluding you, so I think I'll just leave it here and agree to disagree.

They also made it for release in Korea only. This could mean several things, but one of them is that the settlement language only restricted them in America, where the lawsuit was held, and could not touch their activities in Korea.

Haha wow, no wonder the guide looked so much like my Blaster's build.

Quote:Please go back and read my post. They released an actual standalone costume creator. Not hypothetically, it was an actual thing, and it happened after the lawsuit.Originally Posted by Shadow State
As I recall BAB once said that he was unsure if he would get in trouble for even saying he might get in trouble for talking about a stand alone costume creator. I could be wrong, but that seems to at least hint at a confidentiality clauses on a settlement.
I wish I could find some reference to this on the wiki but unsurprisingly I can't, probably due to how little interest there was in it. -
I knew there was something I was forgetting.

Quote:But they've been doing this since day 1. Heroes are registered with the FBSA and are forced to work with an origin-specific department. Villains are Destined Ones. There are countless examples of the game forcing you into its lore, I don't see why this is any different.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
I see the problem as the devs want to drive their own game's story forward by tying characters into the lore. They don't need to do that, they shouldn't do that, the lore should be there for our characters to tie themselves into however they see fit.
Presumably the Orestes Rifle only works on Incarnates who took the easy path to power, not True Incarnates like Tyrant.Quote:Originally Posted by VentureWho, as it happens, already has a weapon designed to disrupt powers taken from the Well. I'm guessing we'll never have a chance to fire an Orestes Rifle at Tyrant or his crew, though. -
In Praetoria it is very possible to miss some badges, since your contacts forget you once you leave. Specifically, the badges for choosing a Loyalist outcome in a Morality mission (Loyalist), Resistance outcome (Resistance Member), and completing 5 Moral Choice missions (Moral High Ground). The badge Avid Reader in the Praetorian tutorial can also be missed since there is presently no way to go back to the tutorial.
I don't believe there are currently any missable badges on Primal Earth (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Efficiency Expert can be failed (and it only gets awarded to the mission owner, so you can't team for it) and isn't available in Ouro, but since Pither is a 45-50 contact that's not a big deal. The hero and villain explore badges (as well as the blueside Isolator defeat badge) in the tutorial can be obtained during the Ouroboros intro arc from the Pilgrim, which can be flashbacked in the 45-50 range.
Of course, it goes without saying that the anniversary event badges can be missed, so make sure you grab the 7th one this May. Other event badges also used to be missable, but in recent years it has become possible to obtain the previous year's badges each year when the event rolls around (Winter Event, for instance, allows you to purchase previous badges with Candy Canes). -
Why would Ken Watanabe be in a flashback? is Bruce really going to be looking back on his defeat of Not Ra's al Ghul?

Quote:I doubt it, since Cryptic released one ages ago around the same time City of Hero was released in Korea. The available costume pieces were never updated as new ones were released and support was eventually dropped.Originally Posted by Shadow State
Would be great to have but, as I recall, there were some indications that a stand alone costume creator may have been prohibited in the Marvel settlement.

Saving a costume already saves proportions.
But yeah, actual numbers would be nice. "Just a skosh to the right" is not a height. 5'10" is a height. -
Quote:You learn abbreviations by asking what they mean when you don't know them. I can only imagine your shock when you discovered that Mo Kahn means "Master of Dr. Kahn's Task Force" which entails not dying once during the TF.Originally Posted by Breth
Insert someone who would speak in words instead of aaaaaaaaargh, i don't even know what you call those bloody things!
I don't know what SCR means or MB or Golden Gate, someone recently invited me for a Mo Khan and i blinked twice and thought OK, sounds South East Asian but i'll give it a whirl. Where do you people pick up these abbreviations and where do the uncool kids learn to be cool?
Most abbreviations (except perhaps some obscure ones) can also be found on the wiki. -

2. Sound. Voices.
"That other game" has voices for practically everything - npcs, mobs, dungeon bosses, etc. Whereas, in CoH, all we have is text. I'd love to hear Nemesis' aristocratic sneering voice, Dr. Aeon's mad scientist cackle, Vanessa Devore's sultry evil voice, etc. How about adding an optional downloadable "sound pack" that would at least add these things to TFs. At a minimum, the cut scenes could have voices. I realize that adding voices for regular mobs outside of TFs would make the client too fat , but for just TFs - it shouldnt be too bad.
No.
The last thing I want in this game is the atrocious voice acting of "the other game". -

That ^
Also, why tie it so explicitally to the well in the first place?
Mentioning Incarnate powers and then saying 'Such as the Well of Furies, etc etc' would have been just fine. It would also have let people determine their own source of power, wether it was indeed the Well or a deity, or spirits, or uber high-tech, or shear consumption of enough anti-freeze that they became more super and 100% more blue.
But, no, we instead get straight-jacketed with 'The Well is GOD! OBEY THE WELL MYTHOS!', which I still don't buy frankly, and nor do most of my characters, IC or OOC.
*shrug* -
Actually, yeah, Shocking Bolt combined with your other two holds will let you hold EBs with ease, especially with a Lockdown proc slotted into one of them. Makes Trapdoor the easiest fight ever.

Anyway, as it has been said, the Well has gone mad, perhaps corrupted by some outside force. Here's a theory...Rularuu, perhaps? The Coming Storm? Both? -
Quote:You wouldn't have nearly enough recipe inventory for this, however, not even if you stored some in e-mails. At most you can hold 54 between inventory and e-mails, however you would also need to hold the salvage for them. With a maximum salvage storage capacity of 85 (plus e-mail storage for extra salvage), the most you could hope to craft in battle would be 34.Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
If you have the portable workbench you can theoretically throw 90 envenomed daggers at a gm, one every ten seconds for fifteen minutes. I should think that this would be plenty to take out most GMs, provided you can also survive their attacks for the same period. Pretty pricey barrier for entry however.
But that would still be silly. -
Very thorough guide, as someone who has been playing an Elec^3 since just before Issue 5 I don't see a thing wrong with it. One minor note: you mention that Hasten provides +Def; it hasn't done this in ages.
