  1. Okay, time for the tedious task force! Yes! Multiple 'defeat all' missions in a row - and on the same map! Woo hoo! Still, the badge is needed for the Task Force Commander accolade so let's have at it. At least there's tons of XP (or shard drops if you're an incarnate).

    Saturday, December 31 at 1PM Eastern

    Citadel's Children (AKA Citadel TF)
    Level 25+
    Requires 6 or more to start.
    Contact is in Talos Island.

    1. Ironblade - Capt Tom Tachyon (time/rad defender)
    2. Errant - something or other
    3. Elllls - a toon
    4. Angelica Venger - Shadow-Ripper (some kind of claws toon)
    5. Asgardian Blade - Saroyan (WS)
    6. Saint Jon - Energy Core (blaster)
    7.
    8.
  2. Do *ALL* the opinion point challenges in under 8 minutes each. It doesn't really matter if there are two or three challenges. Do them fast!
  3. Ironblade

    Where is Caleb?

    Spawning Caleb has worked fine every time I've been involved with a team doing it. I guess he might get bugged sometimes but, more likely, anyone who says otherwise just failed to find him.

    The spectral demons already spawned DO NOT fly to join him. He appears with additional demons who follow him around. He appears way up in the air, they starts wandering in random directions. Unlike, say, Adamastor who just stands in one spot, this guy can end up practically anywhere in the zone. And, the part that messes people up and makes me wonder why the devs did this - HE HAS STEALTH! You either need to get really close to him or have enhanced perception to find him.

    so either a dveloper read this and fixed it or zoning fixed it....

    If the zoning fixed it though....this means this game has a database issue...
    Actually, that's pretty common. Lots of things won't get updated correctly while in use, and I'm not just talking about CoH. If it doesn't update immediately, just log out and back in. Don't expect whatever you bought to be available instantly. It usually is, but having it fail is not at all surprising.

    And if you do get banned or moderated, are you going to start yelling about freedom of speech? This forum is a privately owned venue. Those things are irrelevant here.

    Wide open. Two comments, though:
    1) Different servers have different preferred gathering points. Some use Pocket D, some use the Rikti War Zone, some use the Midnighter Club.
    2) Raids are often announced on multiple global channels - but not always, so see item 1.

    18 enhancement tables * 100 enhancements each and you don't save anything worth less than 100 million inf since it's just taking up space.

    Yeah, I posted something along these lines. I was less diplomatic about it and used words like "stupid".

    You can't downgrade an elite boss. In most content, what will be an AV for a team will be an elite boss for a solo or small group.

    Sometimes, when playing a tank, I'll walk up *near* a group of enemies and type /e taunt.
    Gee, it sure LOOKS like I just taunted them.....

    SPOILER ALERT (MAYBE)

    umm.... I guess it's to rescue Penelope Yin and Aurora. To weaken Praetor Tilman? I'm not sure. I guess it could be the same reason as BAF and Lambda - to interfere with Cole's control of his nation.


    Quote:
    Is Calvin Scott really Aurora's hubbie?
    I would have to say we're not sure. According to Calvin, yes and Tilman messed with her mind. According to Aurora, Calvin was one of her patients, is schizophrenic and imagined the whole marriage. In either case, we only have the word of a single person - with every reason to think that they're not completely right in the head.

    BTW, in OUR universe, her full name is Aurora Scott. Here, they were definitely married.


    Quote:
    Why is Penelope Yin there?
    She was part of the Seer Network. That's why she's dressed like that. We were rescuing her.


    Quote:
    Is Malaise really dead?
    According to the Phalanx, yes. Considering how much 'mind riding' we've seen happen, there may be 'part' of him still around.


    Quote:
    Wasnt it supposed to be Statesman?
    It WILL be. That's still in the future. January.


    Quote:
    Is that left over part of Aurora that was locked in Sister P. just Mother Mayhem?
    No. They are two completely different people. The personality fragment in Sister Psyche's head is from a native of THIS Earth. Mother Mayhem is from PRAETORIAN Earth. Aside from being from different planets, Aurora Borealis is Aurora Scott. Mother Mayhem is Shalice Tilman. Mother Mayhem and Sister Psyche are alternate universe versions of each other - not Aurora and Mother Mayhem.


    Quote:
    Was the praetorian Shalice always evil or did she just turn that way after the personalities got merged?
    She's just misunderstood.

    Happy Solstice!

    When did the Solstice become the "deepest part of the winter"?
    I mean, I'm in New York City, it's 10:15 at night and it's 61 degrees out.
    Global warming???
  19. I learned everything I need to know about posting on the internet from Dogbert in the Dilbert comic strip. He was prepping Ratbert for appearing on a TV show.

    Everyone else has read the same books and seen the same shows that you have. Therefore, if they disagree with you, it must be because they are stupid.

    Timed in-game items don't work that way. The holiday debt protection, for example, lasts two days of in-game time - i.e. 48 hours of you actually logged in to that character.

    Snow beast pet?

    Only you can answer that. The pet does absolutely nothing useful. All it does is look cool. This is like seeing a gold chain in a jewelry store and asking us if you should buy it. I don't know. Should you?

    As for me, I have multiple characters with various ice powers and many characters with Winter costumes. So I'm thinking about it. Haven't bought it yet, but thinking about it.

    Nah, at most I'll experience mild contempt at your rudeness.
    You've already been modsmacked at least once in this thread that I've noticed.

    That might be too easy now. I got it while it was bugged but that was before they nerfed Marauder. It was HARD to take him down fast enough, even with a full league of skilled players.

    Annoyingly, no.

    You never used Placate on a Stalker? Anyone you placate will immediately completely ignore you. If there is anyone else around, they will go attack someone else. If you are alone, they just stand around, or walk back to their spawn point.
