    I can explain why there's no Vanguard hammer. The Vanguard weapons and shield use a force field effect. They are basically very thin and pretty much weightless. Makes sense for blades and shields, but not for a heavy, bludgeoning weapon.
    (That was the response a redname gave once upon a time.)

    We know they change the tf per week but I don't think your count resets...
    It does not 'reset'. However, what some people mean by resetting is the following:
    Week 1 is the STF. You run it 10 times. NINE of those count for the badge.
    Week 2 is the ITF. You run it 4 times. Only THREE of those count for the badge.

    Each week, the first run of the Weekly Strike Target grants you the Notice of the Well but does NOT count for the count badges.

    Mentor Project

    Go to the first post in this thread and it gives all sorts of information about The Mentor Project. Stalemate has a direct link to the post in his signature and so do I.

    My main character has a handful of level 53 or 52+ Nucleolus Exposures. Offhand, I know he has one in Brawl.

    Sadly, I think he's working as intended. But yes, he's way harder to kill than the red one.

    Some people don't pay attention to this kind of stuff, but know that there are players out there who pounce on every scrap of information.

    hmm.....

    Positron begins to shake wildly, staggering backwards. After a few moments, he becomes still, breathing lightly.

    "Positron?"

    "No, not Positron. You may know me as the Well of the Furies."
  8. I've never deleted a 50 and I have 21 of them. I actually play most of them once in a blue moon. I took the time to respec all but a few for Inherent Fitness. I've run all but one through Ramiel's arc to unlock the Alpha Slot. At least one of them doesn't even have IOs - just SOs and HOs.

    The highest character I ever deleted was level 16. He was a claws/SR scrapper named Unarmed Wombat. It was pointed out to me that having claws meant he wasn't unarmed, so I deleted and re-rolled as MA/SR.
  9. It affects only your powers, whether they target yourself or other people.
  10. Well, I'm done. Fifteen task forces since Thursday evening.

    I know what people mean when they say that but in this game, soloing with inspirations isn't really soloing.
    Well, then we can just disagree on that. Inspirations just shower down upon us and they are meant to be used. I considering using them as still 'soloing'.

    Now, when someone says they soloed an AV with just a shivan and an HVAS, THEN I don't call it soloing any more.

    Some people have gotten the download, others have not. I have two accounts and haven't gotten the download on either of them. The speculation is that, in order to spread the load over time, the auto-download is either being activated randomly or based on some account information that we're not privy to.

    Expect it to happen some time within the next two weeks.
  14. The first 'glitch' is intentional. The 'captives' are Nemesis Automatons. That's why they had a question mark after 'Crey Captive'.

    As for the second glitch, that's probably a momentary issue with communication between your client and the game server. I've seen that, or similar glitches, every so often.
  15. I'll be there. Not sure who I'll bring, but Vandal's pretty much of a scrub. Eight tanks could beat him down.
  16. Making progress. I got my PB into Posi range (level 11) before double XP. Currently sitting at level 37 with a total of 29 hours played on that character. It would have been higher, but I also took a controller from 37 to 40.

    And after it updates, when you have the chance, you should defrag your drive. It's going to have to update probably all of the CoH files and that will affect game loading with all the files being fragmented.

    Lag Issues

    I haven't been seeing any lag and I've done 13 task forces since Thursday evening. It may be restricted to a particular server.
  19. So, you went in, ate 400 hot dogs and got so fat you couldn't get out? Is that what really happened?

    It's either perception or it's only affecting you (or a very small number of people, at most). There was no widespread change.

    I've gotten 3 tips in ONE FIGHT. It's hardly inconceivable that you might go a dozen missions or more with zero tips.

    Simples!

    I think that's the wrong question. If you can do all that, who cares where the weapon is. Why are *YOU* out there, instead of in a recliner at home doing the targeting remotely?

    Ice Armor

    Didn't someone do a quantitative analysis of tank armors and conclude that ice armor was 'middle of the pack'?

    Anyway, I think it's a fine set. I've taken ice armor to level 50 and it's one of the few tanks where I didn't bother with the Fighting pool because he didn't seem to need it.

    If there is a cabal and I frequently drive prices higher why wasn't I invited ?

    Does this cabal argue about who gets to wear the fez as well ?

    Kidding aside, we have a market that is pitifully easy to manipulate. People come along, look, say hey I can do that and then they do it.
    As an aside, you completely ignored the question. The question was, do you contend that most market prices are the result of manipulation or simply that it is possible to manipulate the prices? I don't think most people would disagree with the second part.
  24. Isn't it the same as for the zones? It's 5 minutes in the zones.

    You can't conclude that. You can conclude the following:
    1) In this example, the seller was not setting the prices.
    2) Many, perhaps most, buyers throw money away.

    Sellers *CAN* affect prices. They can affect them dramatically.

    Clearly, though, when someone comes in here screaming about price fixing and conspiracies they are often completely wrong. Maybe it's most of the time; maybe it's just occasionally. I don't see any way we can ever be sure. But it is certain - SOME of the time it's just stupid buyers and there is no manipulation.
