You do realize they have just thrown you to the wolves right? I got a ton of stuff for you then. But here is my number 1 issue. Fix the waypoint in the Seer Marino arc on villainside. Its been bugged since day one. The waypoint on one of the missions never points correctly to the mission. If you can get this one simple task fixed I will post my other bugs.
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
I made a new Fire/Earth Assault Dom. when i16 came out and have been playing him solo lately...sure enough I did that Seer Marino arc and yep....marker still messed up. /bug'ed it yet again...it's only been a bug for a good 3 (4?) years now.... heh -
Welcome

Agreed. (I teamed with 'ya this morning, by the way...)
Uh... don't mind me
Yeah I'd like to see a contact/NPC that is always in the game...and like you said if the event isn't going on, maybe have the info in "see what did happen last halloween" type of thing. I know they might change things here and there in events to come but....in general it's usually the same thing but with something new addedQuote:Originally Posted by AlienOne
I believe they've had a contact in AP before for the Valentine's event, but if they could have some sort of "Event" contact that would explain events while they are happening, and then switch dialogue to explain or "preview" upcoming events when there isn't an event currently going on, that would be wonderful for newer players.
"Alien"
Btw devs, I did enjoy the event. I like the spreading out of banners (a bit less lag than everyone at one spot).
Maybe have multiple Aspects (GMs) spawn would help the "rush to the Aspect to get the badge/temp powers" issue....*shrugs* -

Yes, an NPC that could give some backstory on the event would be superb. Don't just explain the RP side on a web page, include some in-game RP as well.
Oh and just a quick side-note, I'd like the NPC to not just be something for an 'event' like Halloween....have the NPC do info for all things like this (have info for Valentine's event, Halloween, Winter event, among other things...). -
Just finished the Sharkhead invasion/raid....the Aspect GM spawned and was found this time by the villains and we beat him/it down (I was late to the party though
).

For me, the banner icons on the MiniMap disappeared too quickly. I would fight at one banner, then go looking for the others and the colored dots would no longer be on the Minimap. I found the others through homing in on teammates and just flat remembering where they were the first time I looked.
I would really like at least a snippet of backstory connected to this new event. Aside from *what* I'm supposed to do in the new zone events, I have no idea *why* I'm supposed to do them. All of the enemies had their original Info biography. I checked info for the banners and it just said 'no one knows why these are here...' (paraphrasing).
The first year of the Halloween event was at least blamed on the Malleus Mundi and the arrival of Croatoa. These "disturbances" have occurred every year (save for '05) and gotten more intense each time. Has *no one* among the NPCs done any research into what's causing this? No premonitions or portents?
"Something" is trying to get in. What manner of creature/force/organization/whatsis is it and why is it trying to get-in/break-out? Why are all these monsters summoned-by/created-by the banners and why do they result in something called an "Aspect"?
I would suggest adding at least vague clues to the Banner Info text; a different one for each. Read all four and you get some hint to what might be going on and what it may/may not relate to in the larger CoX backstory (Malleus Mundi again? Rularuu? Croatoa? Banished Pantheon? Something new? Bueller?). Information like that would be better than "you don't know what it is, but you need to kill it in ten minutes".
It's great that there may be a guide on the forums/website but....I really never understood why "lore" like this wouldn't be in the game itself. Some what of a side-story here, but when I played Asheron's Call 2, they had tons of lore/what not on the site but no where to be found in the actual game.
How would anyone know where to go for the banners if they didn't look at their map (with "special" as an option on)?
Oh and maybe the badge text/info could be a bit more helpful....when I was on my hero I had 4 out of 5 badges needed for the Accolade badge....but had no idea which badge I needed....until I looked on the forums and found out which one I needed. -
Hero side seems to be working fine from what I've been a part of. I switched to red side a few minutes ago to be apart of the Cap raid. We took down the banners but no one found the GM.
Is it possible that the GM spawn location is near a drone by chance?
Just some possible things that might help with this event...
Is there a way that there could some type of highlight that would show where (in a general area type of thing) the Aspect GM spawned? Whether that be done through a 'comet-like' thing flying down from the sky, or a light just shining from the ground....something.
Also, can there be a timer that is shown so that the people will know when the GM will despawn? -
I should be there
-
Oooh....new shinies!

I remembered a post from Niviene ( http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=184083 ) about another double XP weekend....so did I miss any announcement about it or did they forget about it?
P.S. I did a search for this but couldn't find anyone else posting about it, so if they did then sorry! -
Quote:It was a mission from one of the contacts in Ouroboros (I think it was The Pilgrim).Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Yeah, that shouldn't be happening.
Was the mission your leader set a flashback mission or a mission from one of the Ouroboros contacts (Lazarus, Pilgrim, Silos, etc..)? -
Okay something else happened while I was teamed with my sgmate tonight. My lvl 43 sgmate (a Rad. Blast/Pain Dom. Corruptor) and I were teamed with another friend (a lvl 43 Brute) doing a few missions. One of those missions had all Rikti in it and while I had Enforced Morale on me I noticed I kept getting knocked down....no biggie since EM doesn't protect against that. Then I noticed I was being disoriented/stunned while EM was on me.
While the EM icon was still on me/in my status bar, I looked at the real numbers/combat attributes. I looked under Status Protection and there was no buffs to anything. I then thought, "maybe EM is like PVP mez protection...it's resistance and not actual protection." So I looked under Status Resistance....and nothing was there. Only thing/number that was buffed (from EM) that I could tell was my perception radius.
I /bug'ed this as well while in game; however, I had my friend give me EM again and then I noticed that it did give me +9 (or 9.5) for hold/stuns/etc under Status Protection like it should. Then within that same application of EM, I noticed the Status Protection buffs/numbers went away but the Perception buff/numbers were still buffed while the EM icon was still on my status tray.
Anyone else having oddities like this with EM or any power like it (Clear Mind maybe or ID?)? -
Okay so I'm on my lvl 19 Fire/Earth Assault Dominator just now and one of my sgmates is on his lvl 42 corruptor. He has a mission in Ouroboros and wanted to do it with me. Guessing that I couldn't use his Ouro portal but we verified to be sure. He summoned his ouro portal and I clicked on it, sure enough it says, "you have to be lvl 25 to use this."
So I have him set the mission and I use the mission teleporter power just to see if that works. He sets it and I use the power...sure enough I zone into Ouroboros. This kind of surprises me but I'm there....got the exploration badge and got the ouro. portal for myself....not sure if this is intended or not (and not sure if it has been reported or not)...but I /bug'ed it in game just in case and felt like posting it here to see any responses that I'd get. -
Not bad

For those of you with Stone Armor characters, how attached are you to the current appearance of "Granite Armor"? There are a number of issues with Granite Armor that could be elegantly solved by changing the VFX of the power into something more akin to the other armor toggles in the set. IE, your player model and costume wouldn't go away, there would just be a new set of 'Granite' armor pieces overlaid.
I haven't made any decision to do this, it's just one of the options for dealing with the multiple issues we have with Granite Armor and I wanted to get a sense of how many of you guys wouldn't be able to adapt to a change like this.
Before anyone asks, no...we couldn't have it both ways.
I like the way Granite Armor looks now currently; however, if there is a new option that would allow you (us as players) to have a 4 ft. tall Granite Armor toon or what have ya...then I'm more or less for it. -
Welcome back

Yeah...I've said it before but I'm really, really, really hoping for a whole lot of new mission maps/tilesets (as well as content) in GR. If there isn't a whole lot of new tilesets...they could have thousands of new missions but...they'd be done in the same ol' tilesets...so "everyone" would know where to go/etc...
For me, I just want new tilesets/maps/content and new powersets....
Oh and more free char. slots per server
-
SkyStrike....I haven't been in CoH for a few days () but if you are on and one of the LEGION members are on, they should be able to add you to the legion private global chat channel and/or invite to the SG.
Sorry didn't want to make it feel like I forgot ya...just been busy lately trying to find a job and doing stuff at my church.
Edit: Sky, I just found out that I could activate/approve people awaiting approval on our website/forums...I have approved ya

Hooray!
Although I still use the external website the one poster has put up...

From a Fire/Earth Assault Dom (lvl 50) it was fun. Hot Feet + Mud Pots combination for 2 sets of procs...was end. heavy but Seismic Smash is awesome. I took the Mu Mastery patron/APP for the end. drain/recovery power. I think I'll be making a Fire/EA Dom come live...

Hiya Sky
The Legion is always open for new people (or people returning)....with Issue 16 (power customization and other good stuff) coming out 'soon' (just entered open beta phase) I'm sure lots of stuff will catch your attention.
-
Hello and welcome!
-
I'll be checking!
-
Very good news!
No 'lackey leash' which I know quite a few of my sgmates have an issue with (myself included)...no 'mentor tetris'...always nice...and exemps still get xp (with the option to get more infl. if they want)?! nice!
-
I said this in the i16 beta thread (that's in the training room/test server forum) but...
Man that's a great change. I loved my elec/elec brute when I was lvl'ing him but man...he got hurt a lot...especially versus certain mob groups (Council Warwolves/Freakshows Tanks/etc)...with this heal/power, sounds really good
