As mereman said, heavies drop rate seems improved, with just 2 teams next to Miss Liberty they showed up more often than I remembered.
As for you PP, these aliens are called "Rikti"... once upon a time, like 2 years or so ago, there was an Issue called "Invasion", which was focused on them... from then on, green skies and dropships can be triggered by completing Lady Grey task force, which takes place in Rikti War Zone. There are 4 different badges: 1 for defeating a certain number of invader riktis, 1 for defeating a certain number of bombs before they explode, 1 for defeating a certain number of heavies, and an accolade for getting them all, which also grants you a temp power.
Next time just check your chat window (in case you upgrade your trial account and keep playing), you'll see a message saying that Rikti ships have been detected towards a map, then you go there, ready to fight them. -
Same here, I should have earned Allegiant (57 months) around December 18th, but it didn't happen... I waited 2 weeks thinking they could be busy uploading the Winter Event, and watching that there were no news, I finally sent a petition ingame and the following day I got a response saying that there was a technican problem and they gave me my vet. reward.
-
Same as Sarg and uther, although I do play in both EU English speaking servers, in the sense that I still play with all my 50s (currently 15, but 2 moar incoming), so moving them to make free spots or deleting them is just a BAD idea.
/signed the idea regarding giving more free slots when GR is realeased, either increasing the max. purchasable or included in the actually available ones. -

There are a few people in the group that are in your future time

Besides, not all sessions are related to Strike Forces, you can show up anytime for normal runs (I mean for "normal" playing contact missions and mayhems)... for example tomorrow evening. -

Quote:Yep, nice one, 2 hours 55 minutes, 1 tanker, 2 blasters, 4 defenders (rad, cold - MEEE!, empath and ff) and 1 troller kin, so balanced team, we did have a couple of hiccups because of the sudden dc's but as Shock has pointed out, all of them happened between mob and mob, so we had no problem. Hell, even Flier did its job properly and flew in circles instead of coming back, so we followed it defeating the mobs below, and it didn't respawn til Recluse was almost defeated.Originally Posted by Shock
Nice run guys, smooth and straight forward, plus dc'd seemed to be between mobs for once.
Gratz all round for the Mo achievement
Thx to Sarg for telling me about this run, as I hadn't checked the forums for the last week and I had no idea you were arranging it.
At work atm, I'll try to post a screenie this afternoon. -

As already posted, Fuerza Celtica, number 72, is a Spanish SG.

My full 8-people team was about to start a Tarikoss SF in Cap au Diable Defiant when we read that there was a big pressie there, we touched it and were sent to the LW Realm, where there were more people gathering for fighting him. He went down in just a few minutes, and we get both merits and canes, BUT no badge at all. It was pretty weird, as NONE of the team got it, but we thought that it was related to the fact that it was a "teaser" of the real Event, but some friends of mine did earn the badge in Union, that's when I petitioned.

Quote:Completely signed. I'm one of the people who's been lucky enough to get this badge and I'll probably be in GR beta, BUT a friend of mine had his credit card expired when the payment period arrived on a Saturday, and while he couldn't do anything along the weekend, he restablished his credit card on time next Monday and was able to pay, nevertheless he's been told via PM that no badge is awarded to him, because of just 2 days and the payment arriving on a Saturday. He's been on the game longer than me, from the very Euro release, and hasn't failed a single payment apart from this, when it was more important, his loyalty and devotion to this game is not worth after all these years for just a matter of 2-3 days. How unfair!Originally Posted by GibberingLunatic

Updating list... Fuerza Celtica is a Spanish SG.
Pity none of my SGs is on the list, tho... Massive teammates migration to Onion a couple of years ago (me too, btw, but Defiant is still my "alma mater", that's why my 2 last 50s are here), later on some of them left the game, and more recently CO, I guess these are the reasons. -
Quote:Quoted and completely signed! I must be one of so many players that, starving for any news about future Issues and GR, and bored for playing the same tfs all the time, bought a lifetime sub on CO, but admittedly, I think it was a total waste of time and money, because I just logged in there twice in the last 3 months... event after event after issue after event after issue after event here in CoX! And more things to come (Christmas event, probable Issue, GR Closed Beta, etc.)! I'm stickied to you since June 2005 and will be completely hooked til Hell freezes over!Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Thank you for making a game that inspires loyalty

Quote:Asuming my calculations are correct, 34 new characters were invited to the VG, considering some people created more than 1 toon... we were able to form 3 teams, 2 full and 1 with 5 people, that makes 21 people playing at the same time rushing through Kalinda's and Burke's arcs... besides the people that sent me tells apologizing for not being able to come but saying that they would come in future sessions. Evil side rocks! muahaha! (twisted laughOriginally Posted by mereman
We had our first red side night last night
I'm not certain how many people turned up but we were running many teams

I don't think it was bad luck, not after 15 times spawning AVs and not watching him at all. Some people petitioned, others like me sent bug report.
-
Weird... I was thinking on arranging a Citadel in a near future EU side of the ocean, but I guess it will happen the same, so I'll postpone it just in case.
-
Well done mereman, I was about to copy-paste the thread of Sargatanas explaining the main goals of the VG and powersets allowed, now everybody interested can read our forums and think about joining us!
-
I was wondering whether he had gone for holiday or what, as 2 full teams tried to get all AVs badges blueside both Tuesday and Thursday in Defiant server and after resetting the map several times and spending about 6 hours in total, Sci didn't show up at all, neither alone or with Recluse/Scorpion or Mako/GW.
-
As I wanted to get as many "useful" accolades with my lvl 43 domi, I've been running some Accomplishment missions through Ouroboros... last night it was weird, as I picked the ones that award "Exterminator" (Threat lvl 25-29), "Bad Luck" (30-34) or "Soul Taker" (25-29) and, even being done at "-1" rep, my enemies weren't exactly a challenge, all of them grey so I just kept playing... til the moment, at the 3rd or 4th Ouro mission, when I then clicked in one of them... and he was just lvl 1! and the other! and the one next to them! all of them were! Then I understood why it had been so easy to earn these badges, as that was my main goal, otherwise I didn't get any xp at all.

Quote:Thx for your explanation, and thx for your appretiation for our website. As I couldn't find any info about this matter, I thought the best idea would be spreading the question I've received about trades (not only inspirations, but also recipes, salvages... maybe the tricky part can be the infamy/influence IMO) between Rogues-Heroes and Vigilantes-Villains... after all, there are no current trades allowed between heroes and villains even in co-op zones (Cimerora, RWZ, Pocket D).Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
GREAT website.
So far we have heard Inspirations, yes; anything else, no. But things are too far away to be certain about. And yes, word right now is that Inspiration trading will extend to villains and heroes as well.
Further item trading is speculative, at best.
EDIT: And near-villains with villains, near-heroes with heroes. Sorry, didn't follow your post. -
Sorry I don't know if this has already been pointed out, haven't read the whole 8 pages of posts... I've posted most part of the info related to GR from the Hero Con threads in a Spanish Community forum http://auraycapa.superforo.net/the-p...t1124.htm#6709
and I've been asked regarding Trades... will Rogues be able to trade with Heroes, and vice versa? and Vigilantes with Villains and vice versa? -
Great job on this new event WW. Apart from uber lag, which I think is totally normal, specially the 1st week after an event or Issue is released (although a MASSIVE mapserver and having a character locked for 20 or so minutes is not exactly my cup of tea), the idea of having a damage thresold and people spreaded between the 4 banners is quite interesting, besides the Spirits (ToT) rate has been improved in comparison to last year, so that badge is affordable again.

I agree that would be nice, but the EU server needs abit more of a fixup before we get lots of open missions where 50-100 people participate.
You may know that we on Union during the Halloween event suddenly found ourselves in a crashed zone. We where around those numbers fighting the 3'd banner. We all went mapservered and could not log in to our character while the timer was going (but we could log in to another alt).
With that many people in all the 4 events i participated on we had not only to beat the banner and the timer, but we had to face the lagmonster, mr Map Servered and Ms Rubberbanding.
Now please more minigames like the Halloween event (but please continue on the job for better stability on the EU servers) It happened in Croatoa, 2 banners down and everybody moved to the 3rd one, then a sudden and massive mapserver... well, no problem, I'm in the server selection screen, I pick Union again, then my toon... and guess what, a message popped up saying more or less "be patient, this character is still logging out, try it again later" and so I did... for more than 10 minutes!!!! and my character was still "logging out"!!.
As I had agreed to join my SG mates in Defiant blueside, I changed server and picked another toon; about 5-10 minutes after that (it means nearly 20 minutes after the mapserver) I read through sals badgehunters chat channel that those characters locked in Croatoa were able to log in once again.
I know that it's usual, specially at the beginning of any Event or Issue, that more players than usual log in in order to get the new badges / whatever as soon as possible, and that lag is everywhere, but last night was utterly madness, both zombies and Apocalypse spreading everywhere and anywhere at the same time, with almost no time to read the Events channel, and making people to flee like headless chickens. -
I think it IS debatable, everything that gives your team +Defense to most attacks is cool, specially Dispersion Bubble, which is great in RWZ raids... ahem... k, after derailing a bit the subject of this thread... I was sooo happy with my 1st toon when I got Hover... yay, I could fly! then hovering over Hollows, I noticed other more veteran players of my SG zooming past me aud making jokes about me being a turtle in comparison to them, that was the moment I was told that the REAL flying power was Fly.
-
Admittedly, it's been funnier having a regular group of people to play with, specially people who know the basics
-
Hehe, as I play in both servers, it would be unfair posting this in one and not in the other, and fairly redundant post this twice, so posting here seemed to be a great idea... Along last September I reached lvl 50 with 2 more toons, one in Defiant and the other in Union, and that makes my total account 14! None of the AE, btw! (well, nox exactly, one of the newcomers got into AE at lvl 5 and left it at lvl 23, but the important thing is that I played him hard more than 25 lvls).
SO leadies and gentlemen, please welcome Criogenia (ice/cold defender) and Radioterapia (empath/radiation blast)!! (/em wave, /em military salute, /em cheer).
Furthermore, I currently have a couple of toons at 39-41, and another one at 29 that I'm getting along this DXP looong weekend and I want him to reach lvl 40-41 at least, so there should be more 50s in a near future.
