I have to disagree, here--while the scanner missions often count towards your SGM total, they don't always. It seems kind of random, to me.

Most of you all have covered my points. Hrm. An empathy defender (solo, heroic, etc.) vs. nearly a dozen villains in the bank? Mobs disappearing off maps. Malta seeing across the map? An empathy defender vs. a Dark Ring Mistress?

These could be really fun...but they aren't, yet.

Oh yes, and plug for team credit--so you don't have to solo them all if you want any badge credit.

Was this really a pressing issue, nearly ten months later?

Well, I just tried my first SGM a few minutes ago, and I had some questions. I got into the mission, flew straight to the bank, and saw the "The Bank is Being Robbed" text. I ate a bunch of defense and resists, then charged in and defeated *everyone.* Immediately kicked to a big "mission failed." I thought that saving the bank started the clock? And...assuming that someone somehow escaped--don't they show up on the map or something? Running to a car? There was nothing. Just...save bank, fail mission.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

Not to cramp on folks...but if they added a "Heroes trash lower-class third-world neighborhood mission!"...most of my heroes wouldn't be able to participate on moral grounds.

There's a reason why Mayhem's and Safeguard's feel differently.

But that goes beyond the scope of this thread I guess.

[/ QUOTE ] It might--but I don't think you'll get any arguments about it. Yes, as noted--multiple waypoints on the map, despite the side missions being completed, are pretty confusing.

Just a general complaint that the side missions do not give credit to the entire team, just the one who does them. Similar to Pillboxes in RV, etc.--it kind of discourages teaming, at least from my present perspective. And in RV, I can get a heavy to help from time-to-time. I may be SOL on my empath when it comes to all these. Keeping an open mind, though. And woo for more content for higher levels--thanks!

Not touching this one...but a lot of folks will be disappointed when the Reichsman returns with a vengeance, and only slightly freezer-burned. But not me.

Matt, you're awesome. Thanks!!!

Birthday wishes from Senor Foot-in-Mouth.

Wishing you nothing but the best, Shane. Especially if it involves you coming back, and soon.

JE slowly...restoring...my interest...in bases...

((Yay for Heroid, and nice bitz, Morv and Venka. ))

So cool! Thanks, Pos!!

Wait...so...there's NO Legends content in Issue 8?
:?

Thanks Pos. The bug fixes are mighty appreciated, and we can't wait (yes, I'll go ahead and speak for people) for I8. Keep on doing what you do.

Just do it faster.

*holy water*

Depart, undead thing!

So far as I know, trenchcoats are the only confirmed vet. reward. There's been talk of the Nemesis staff, but nothing concrete.

Woo for me. Woo for us!

*bronzes thread*

*again*

Consider the amount of mostly intelligent discussion this has generated...I wouldn't say I was entirely batty.

I mean, there's enough of us out there that there's been quite a number of discrepencies noted. When should we worry about this. When Vet rewards are going live? Again, I'm not trolling or anything--but the issue is definitely worth thinking about.

Wow. I could do without the angry bits, but I'm really flattered that y'all discussed my little quandry! Thanks, Cuppa, for clarifying things, too. *goes off to get thread bronzed* I made the Dev's Digest! And Cuppa posted! Twice! *swoons*

Oh, not agonizing. Just theorizing.

That would stink for the really loyal customers who bought both CoH, CoV and a hero kit.

That was my reasoning for opening discussion. We know so little about it, it's almost pointless to discuss...but I'm still wigged out over it. If someone just starts playing, they're going to have a three month head-start on me...but only if Veteran's Rewards are based on "billing time."

Hey Xandra. I did re-re-re-peruse the Dev digest, but to little avail. So then, how DO they know? If I had quit playing, and come back--would my account be updated to say something like...

Hm. Hey, it's me, you know? I'll happily be wrong.
