As my Crab Spider is lvl 33 atm, and looking for lvling him up along the next Double XP weekend, I made a screenshot of another Crab lvl 38 who was lking me, and he had both Spiderlings and Disruptors...

We Veats are likely brutes in order to get patron powers, and this would mean that, if I chose Black Scorpion for patron, I should be able to pick Arachnobot Blaster at lvl 47... and this comes my question: it would be worth selecting Arachnobot Blaster from Black Scorpion, and playing Mastermind-like, or it would be better getting another kind of power?

I don't think it's so much to do with that any more. Yesterday I played for nearly seven hours straight with two crashes. I've now had eight crashes in the last half hour?

More or less the same here; I was used to 2-3 blue screen crashes every afternoon for the last couple of weeks with 175.16 drivers version, and lately 175.19, and after installing omegadrivers (and playing in safe mode) last Friday, only 1 blue screen along the whole weekend, playing lots of hours and running 2 Imperious and 1 Numina, that's so weird.

Weird indeed; I'm quoting myself because, despite the fact I've played the whole weekend without any problems, only 1 blue screen and nothing else, however I've had 4 in the last hour, same drivers than last weekend, playing either "normal" or "safe mode", nothing works.

I'll try your solution Tuarus (sigh).

er.... what about a scrapper??

Well, after a successful weekend, I've been awarded with "Roman" with 2 different characters, after re-running this tf again, which I was supposed not to do so because I had already completed it but I hadn't earned that badge, so I only miss it in 3 characters.

So... those of us who have toons not awarded with "Roman" MUST run this tf again if we want to earn it?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the easiest way, yes. Complete the TF and you'll get the badge.

Well, I though I had get rid of Cimerora until a future Issue could provide more content for that map, now I'll have to play ITF 5 times more, instead of playing other kind of toons, besides there's a Double XP weekend incoming, so I will have to plan what to play carefully.

nice, thx!

Unfortunately, due to a bug, completion of the requirements for the badge was not being recorded until recently. Unfortunately, those who completed the requirements before the bug was fixed will not be automatically awarded the badge as the game doesn't know you earned it.

Is this relative to our little random crash/freeze screen nv4_disp problem already posted in another thread? Btw, I also got GeForce 8800 GT.

Same here, upgraded drivers from 175.16 version to 175.19, and it took only 2 hours for nv4_disp blue screen to show up again.

As Liz said, I've been checking on the internet, there are lots of websites and forums, even the Nvidia ones, filled with people complaining about this bloody loop, but I haven't found any solution. I have been suggested trying a web called omegadrivers.net, but I'm at work atm so I can't tell you if there's anything interesting there.

I'll try the solutions you've been posting last couple of days this very afternoon guys, as this nv4_disp bloody file makes COX unplayable, only last evening 3 times blue screen detentions and 5 times freeze screen.

Just finished using all my characters that have already played Imperious TF, and the results are quite disappointing. Only 3 have earned "Roman" (1 CoH Defiant, 1 CoH Union and 1 CoV Defiant), and 5 haven't (3 CoH Defiant, 1 CoV Defiant and 1 CoH Union).

Already sent a bug report, when the 1st one didn't earn it, and I've updated it as soon as I've used the rest of them.

Anyone else is having the same bug?

Just a word about these rewards: disappointing.

I'll check my lvl 50 empath, who is my main badger, whether already got this badge or not, I'll update as soon as possible.

Sure thing, the problem is there can be people interested in this badge that can be playing heroside or even Union at that time, the solution is Defiant Events, just a quick shout and we all will be ready to destroy it lol.

Another question that comes to mind.... has anyone ever selected SO as an end mission reward? I certainly haven't

[/ QUOTE ]

I did, the second time I did the 2nd respec trial (long before Inventions). I didn't have a lot of choice, there.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did it once, also long before Inventions, in a Heroside respec, just simply didn't realize what I had selected until it was too late.

Well, it seems most of you agree with me, it'a a bit of nonsense having so many vet and Issue respecs available it's a pity not being awarded with the badge (no matter what's its name, but the fact getting it or not) even if you don't pick character respecification, but if this is how it works, now I know what to select the next time.

According to ParagonWiki, this is what it says about the one I ran last night (2nd Villain one):

"How to Get

To obtain the Thorn Thief accolade, you must complete the second Tree of Thorns Respecification Trial. "

If it's so, I should have been awarded with this Accolade, shouldn't I?

I know the way respec badges works is that you'll earn them if you select "Character Repecification", and it's already confirmed when you indeed reclaim that respec, but it's in my opinion unfair that you don't earn them in case you had picked "Rare Recipe", when, in fact, you have really completed that tf/sf. What do you think?

I got more 50s heroes than villains, but I've stopped anyway playing my VEAT because I've been soloing from lvl 29 to lvl 31 and it became boring and frustrating aswell; in fact, not only villains, but also heroes, most of my friends and usual teammates are now regularly playing in Union, so I have two options, playing alone or playing with them, so I think my VEAT will be stuck at 31.4 for quite some time.

I defeated Clockwork King in a solo mission with my ilu/kin controller; it's true he was an EB, not an AV, but it took just 3-4 minutes.

thx! I'll do this very afternoon! I always wanted to have not only screenshots in-game of events or characters, but also the main blue character selection screen.

I think the most popular ones must be the ones with Market/Auction House + Vault, because you can save some zone changes for crafting IO sets, so in my opinion Talos and Steel in Heroes side, and Cap au Diable in Villain side.

Print Screen then paste into an image program like MS Paint?

[/ QUOTE ]

Will that work for images like the one he posted at the start of this thread? I already got usual screenshots of my characters, but what I want is the same as he previously posted.

It's only 137 years, what's the problem?

[/ QUOTE ]

The lack of vet badges to show for it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not only badges, but special vet powers too!! Maybe he has the new animated hairstyle you've been looking for!

Another way to solve this bug is the usual "having a teammate with recall friend"; last evening it happened to 2 of my teammates, and besides suggesting them try the /sync command I used recall friend, they weren't able to tell me what had worked whether my tp or the /sync command, but it worked anyway.
