Hmm, apparently being third to reply and saying "definitely" wasn't the right way to get on the team. Oh well?
Next time I'll say "definitely" and then reply again with "definitely definitely" so I'm not left out. -
Elf I'm joining your SG if you run a CoP. However I'll probably end up running it blueside since that's where my main will be after the first day of GR.
-
Um, guys?
Unless something drastic happened since the badges appeared, you only need 2 people to run the Pentad match and get that badge.
All you need are 2 peeps of the same AT. As soon as the second peep enters the match they get stuck on Team 2, and the Start Match button is enabled. Simple enuff!
I didn't know the Swiss event was broken. Who broke it? That sucks. I formed a quick team when Issue 15(?) arrived and we got all those Arena badges in an hour or so... -
Definitely. Still one of the few badges I need on main Dollmistress (Mind/Psi Dom).
Hmm, helpfully also one of the few I can still get when switched to blueside -
So tactic is get Numina to pwn all the other FP then Kahlan take her out when she's the only one left? That's awesome - I guess double or triple-stacking Domination?
Does this mean Kahlan can take down Miss Liberty, solo?
I like Kahlan's ITF's best. The ones where it feels like Romulus is conning grey to the team. -
Today I can copy from any server except Champion. Which is hilarious, since all my characters are on Champion...
******* hilarious. -
Play the game with infra-red goggles on and call it Pre-Da-Tor-ia.
I swear if someone PMs me saying "but it's a virtual world so in infra-red the heat would be evenly-distributed across the screen" I will smack them. -
NoooooOOooooo not the Drama Cannons!
My sig is now meaningless I say, meaningless!
Oh well. Hmm guess I can go back to my Tiger Woods Going Rogue sig, eh? -

"Would you like to follow me to the mission exit? I can check your pathing."
"Physically impressive? Let's just say there are parts of me that clip against other parts that really shouldn't."
"It's fate. I checked with Ouroboros."
"You're so hot I'm taking 1 damage every two seconds just standing here."
"Let's cut the chat and just autocomplete this mission."
"If you quit now you won't be able to rejoin later." -
I know there's a similar thread to this but it's not quite the same.
I'm wondering if a bunch of vills would like to join me after GR launches for a grand blueside badge tour, collecting exploration and history badges? Would be a fun way to learn the zones for anyone who doesn't frequent Paragon City much.
I've thought up a route and everything! -
Hmmmmm.
35k per second...only 30 hours to go...
Yikes. I seriously hope the real download/update isn't so slow. Mh, if it is I will just got out and buy a disk version -
The way he guided people to write the articles about his activities (emphasising how awesomely he played and how totally innocent he was of doing anything more than "following the rules") convinced me that his actual purpose was simply to stick it to the community who fought against him.
People posted lots of the things he actually said in RV over the two years he terrorized it - a lot of it was abuse and baiting that went way beyond just playing the zone.
The most odd thing about this episode was when players confronted him directly on comments pages relating to his articles. He had no workable defence against the specific points raised against him and strangely reverted straight back into the monosyllabic, obtuse and bizarre Twixt that inhabited RV. It was like the Professor was the character and Twixt was the real guy. -
I defeated a Hero in RV then mocked him evilly. I ran away backwards as he rezzed and was promptly trampled to death by a running group of Longbow.
In my defence, I am responsible for the most embarassing moment of several hundred other players on Champion. Every Christmas I summon a Ouroboros portal on top of the burning log fire and spam a selection of lines in local chat, such as:
"Wow...you mean this year clicking the fireplace awards an uncommon recipe?"
"I only got an inspiration. How come you got an IO when you clicked the fireplace?"
"The fireplace is clickable again this year? I thought that got fixed."
"Why would they make the fireplace clickable to award rare salvage?"
I stopped counting the number of people who have fallen for this prank, after the first couple of hundred. Thankfully, almost everyone finds it funny and I was once told I had found the only way to be truly villainous in the game -
There are still holes in the Grandville Hospital and several Arachnos base maps that allow you to climb out of the map geometry and explore outside in the black box that the map exists in. If you play around with the Grandville Hospital enough I think you can get back on to the flipside of the main map, but haven't tried it in a while.
The Grandville tunnels conceal a secret Dev Art Department office. Originally this office featured a full list of art dev names and each of their distinctive desks. However, by about Issue 9 some Arachnoids found the easter egg location and trashed it, so the desks are now a mess. Standing next to the toilet door in the office causes a silly song to play.
The Monkey Fight club in Pocket D is a revamp of the original club in Sharkhead, which still exists.
It is possible to get inside the red forcefield in the Arachnos tower in Grandville. You need to be flying or running up against it when the Arachnos Flyer spawns, which is the only time that the force field drops.
Characters should put 4 slots into Health and slot it with two regular Heal IOs then the Heal and special IO from the Numina set.
The base teleporter to Nerva will transport you directly to the witch (Granny Bedlam?) who you exchange halloween salvage with to get your fifth costume slot.
Non-combat NPCs will scream in terror and run away if you show them your veteran reward combat buff pet. I'm not sure if it works in all zones but it's particularly effective in Cimerora.
During several Betas, zone maps have developed holes that allowed you to explore outside the blue zone limits. I spent most of one beta exploring the distinctive Cap Au Diable mountains IN PORT OAKES, flying to the horned peaks that exist in the far distance in that zone. It was also possible to travel to and explore the entry point of the ITF (small island off the main coast of the zone).
The Ouroboros pool of time is now back to being deep, as it was originally.
Flying to the top of the Storm Palace and putting on some headphones while playing is the most awesome auditary experience in the game.
There are still a limited number of level 52 Hami enhancements in the game, earned from when both red and blueside suffered a glitch allowing players to collect them. On blueside, the Hami raid could be exploited and on redside if you claimed your Hami-O while in Warburg it would be level 52. Combining a 52 with a 50 gave you the max-level 52+.
Flying straight to the bank in a mayhem mission will spawn the Longbow EAGLES OF DOOM. I don't think the Devs have ever officially acknowledged the existence of these evil eagles. They seem designed to prevent you skipping the map and flying high in a mayhem mission. The more that you fly around the bank building at various heights, the more will appear. The size of the ambush is huge, with roughly 12 eagles spawning for each team member. They will follow you into the bank and sometimes not bother to enter via the door, instead appearing from walls and the ceiling.
The final boss of the Crey mission within the Silver Mantis Strike Force exclaims: "I wasn't even supposed to be here today!" - a quote from the movie Clerks.
The cute "Loch Ness Monster" named Sally, in Croatoa, can be teleported on to land using TP Foe.
It is still possible for a villain to enter the hero base in Recluse's Victory without being vaporised.
Before the Inventions system was released, several of the maps for universities were implemented in various zones. It was possible to find these university areas under zone maps and explore them. It was even possible to complete the inventions tutorial and earn the first inventions badge, plus an IO and/or some invention salvage.
Clicing an NPC with a name beginning with M will tell you how many hours you have logged on your character (different letters do different things). -
Oh, talk about miss the obvious. What about all those parts that the NPC Cimmerora women are using? We had them briefly then they were taken away. Also I think there were a few male pieces that were accidentally added but them pulled.
Oh and don't forget about the Malaise pants. Those are proper old school and have been lost in the mists of time as far as I recall. -
The original version of the bobcut hairdo for females. I've always hated the current one. There were lots of complaints when it was replaced because someone thought it was too high.
Not a lost item, but the panels skin has never been fixed since it was broken - the back and front don't meet properly.
Also, the Arachnos logo on the full widow catsuit costume still doesn't meet properly. There's a large part of the logo missing on the inside leg. -
Quote:I now have an image of a giggling Castle and BaB "training" new staff by tasking them with ridiculous powerset assignments.Sunstorm worked on Electric Control as a training exercise when he first started working for us. The set is currently sitting in the spreadsheet I have set aside for such things. It was a good effort, but by no means ready for release, and there hasn't been any announcement of us working on the set at all.
I'm not ruling out Electrical Control as a set, but it is only one of several sets that are in the wings waiting for the thumbs up to proceed with.
Castle: "Okay chum, to learn the ropes you're going to make...let's see now...(giggle)...a Clouds/Coffee Machine Defender! Now get to work!"
BaB: "No no, he should make a plastic cup/Imagination Tanker!"
Castle: "You there! Make me a Harley Quinn/Philosophy Mastermind! And make it snappy or you're FIRED!"
"Telephone answering machine/Department Store Corruptor!"
"Decimal Point/Burglary Blaster!"
"Disappointment/Gazelle Dominator!"
"Narcolepsy/Ethanol Warshade!"
etc etc...

Quote:If you are the first to do something special after an issue update you usually find a gold title appear above your head. I know I was the first L50 Villain Epic on Champion and the first on Champion to get the Inventions Accolade.I've always wondered about people claiming to have the "first such-n-such" in this game. I'm not trying to dispute anyone's claim to anything like that (honestly, I'm not) but I'd like to know how those people really -know- beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are in fact the first to do something. Do the GMs PM you and tell you that you're the first or are you just making a relatively reasonable assumption about it?
Frankly I doubt I'd ever claim anything like that unless I had confirmation about it from the Devs or GMs first. *shrugs*
Since AE arrived, trying to be the first to 50 on some new powerset is just silly. People can level from 1-50 in two hours, there's no fun in that.
Collecting all your Accolade powers is the new primary grind -
Hey peeps I really wanna prepurchase Going Rogue!
But once again, same as always...I can't get into the USA version of the NCSoft store because I am in the UK, even though I have a USA game account.
Can I have a USA link please? I need to buy the expansion nao nao nao
Any GMs/Devs around? Can you please fix the store so people like me can buy the right version of the game? -
I received this today. Ha ha.

So weird. I have an incredibly dim memory of when I first tried the game out and some max level Hero tped me to this room. I recall thinking "wowww this place is cool" but then I must have forgotten about it pretty soon after.
