-MechaNation is light-medium RP VG, and we have a spot for any part that shows potential. Whether you're Magi-Tech, an Upgraded Mutant or Natural, a Science experiment who looks to cybernetics, or robot or robot user who wants to work with and help improve a well-oiled machine, MechaNation can use your talent for villainy. A brief look into the founding and growth of our group can be found here. Our primary contact database ((with both OC and IC sections)) can be found here. IRL, we are just a bunch of players who have formed friendships and a fun-loving play style that holds regular events, will be raid capable when I7 hits, and are seeking to expand both our group, and our collective fun. We have also remained active when other tech groups (many of whom are Coalition members) have declined into little. To the Rogue Isles and Paragon City, we are a reserved and focused group of deadly technology users (specifically, robtics users and robots) whose motives are unknown and orginization unclassified. A group that uses tech of any type, you simply need an in-story reason for your conversion...and we also accept nano-tech-zombies, android/mindcontrolled/behaviormodified Thugs/Soldiers/Ninjas for you MM types who might worry (although we DO have a noted preference for Robots, and a similar preferance for Force Fields). When I7 hits, we plan to expand and obtain Items of Power...and whether you're an Electric/Electric robot, a Thugs/Dark Mastermind, or a Plant/Plant Dominator, we may just have a place for you in our grand scheme. Come check out our boards, and see if the Nation is right for you. (Please note that we accept characters that have already been made, but characters that will be made fresh in I7 will want to look at our story and standardization procedures). Introduce yourself to us, and come have fun terrorizing the Isles!

Mentoring badges, do you have to be earning XP to get them? Can you sit in a mission with your Lackey next to you for extended periods of time and still earn the badge's?

Thank you for your answer.

[/ QUOTE ]

You have to be earning xp it seems. I had a lackey with me to auto heal us as we took damage overnight. All we obtained was healing and damage, I didn't get my lackey badges.

[/ QUOTE ]

See I have folks telling me that, and I have folks saying that they stood at the door for an entire night, night after night and have 5 Mentoring badges.

I just want a definitive answer from a Redname Thank you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well if you get a redname answering you in a PM let them know to post here. Because after 15 hrs in the mission taking damage and being healed not a single thing killed my lackey bar never moved and at the time I was still on the 1st lackey badge which is only 30 mins.

I did most in PO, but then got the rest in Sharkshead when I went to Potters for Hellfrost, and tankbuster. Don't recall the level on them but want to say 27ish.

I had the opportunity to look through that shiny new binder for cov, the strategy guide... I couldn't find badges in it?? It says complete guide, so I guess I just missed them? I don't know why badges would be left out of a guide.... could you clear this up for me? Thank you! XD

[/ QUOTE ]

Quite simple as why Badges aren't there. Prima can't put out a good Guide. You want a good guide view websites that are put up by the players. I have 2 guides made so far 1 for CoH 1 for CoV Cohs is for the story arc missions, CoV is for all Missions. Getting ready to make my Powers Guide, and a badges guide. I don't tend to share them mainly because I create them in a way for my use, and many may not lke the layout I choose and then start gettig the I want this and that complaints. I would suggest finding some good sites that offer the info that you want and creating your own guides to the info. There are many sites up that have the info.

The link in my sig is good for Missions from 1-40 for villains, only a couple things are missing which I hope to have filled in this weekend. There are a couple sites out there that have the badges up (Mine is from back in Beta days and very incomplete, as is the salvage area).

Good to see this change being done. I have been able to tank Ghost of scrapyard (ss/inv) at 40 with just 3 other people helping out to take him down, no deaths. Total of 4 people to take down a GM is a bit weak. I look forward to Ghost come I7. I just hope its not where they just raise his damage capability. Therefore killing us faster.

At some point, I would wager that you will have to accept the fact that the Developers decided to add the Gladator attached to Toy Collector after the fact. Bottom line, things will be added to this game always and forever going forward, and this fits quite well in line with the vision (TM) that no single toon can experience all the content there is in the game.

Additionally, Gladiators are being added all the time as a newer feature so some retrospective attachment and awarding is to be expected.

Tell me BL, what would you have the developers do for those of you who skipped the 3+ hours of Toy Collecting because you didn't know there would be a Gladiator attached?

[/ QUOTE ]

Tie it to Cold Warrior which makes more sense.

I'm not asking for Toy Maker. I opted to get that (as I've said) it's just ONE BADGE. I chose not to get it based on the belief it was ONE badge. I would have gotten it on my main had I know it was a twofer deal.

However they should tie it to cold warrior. Makes more sense. ::shrug:: That's just answering your question so please guys don't jump all over me... just answering a question.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, you want the Developers to attach the Snow Beast Gladiator to Cold Warrior, a Badge you earned from defeating 100 Snow Beasts?

I can see the logic behind that as many Gladiators are awarded along with Defeat 100 Badges yet there are a number of them that are connected to other Badges now as well.

You can try and petition it that way. Best of luck to you.

[/ QUOTE ]

And what about those that 'chose' not to fight the 100 beasts for that badge, because they didn't feel it was worth the time since they didn't know that a gladiator be associated with it. But if they had known they would have taken the time and effort to do it.

Only 2 options really.

1. They can take it out and wait til next christmas to put it in and let people know it is there. And listen to people whine because they have to now wait.
2. Leave it in game offer it up next year with some other cold badge and listen to people whine until then.

Safest spot to take out sanppy, is near that airstrip. If you have TP foe. when he is an LT. get your self up on the tower with the radar. Then TP Snappy up there with you, you can then take out the lt, boss, and EB without interfeence from the rascals. To high to jump, and to far for range weapons.

Ah thanks, reading not my forte` I read that but thought it said on live before the end of the day. not event ok reading comprehension=F for me. (punctuation is horrid to I see.)

Perhaps I missed it but just when are the gladiators to be awarded, even on test I haven't gotten either. And I have both ToyCollector and Toothbreaker.

Yes AS does drop 2. I was in Warburg and got smacked by a stalker and lost 2 toggles.

Whether it is a 100% on 1 and a possible 2, or not I dont know. I tpd away really fast.

So I'm wondering, to get a Beacon badge, would you have to avoid getting Explore badges until you are a part of an SG with an active base to earn those badges (or find some new guy or gal to join up with the SG and drag them around to the different Explore badge sites)?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, that's how it works. You have to be in supergroup mode when you are awarded the badges.

On another note, beacon badges are only available for hazard/trial zones.

[/ QUOTE ]

you do NOT have to avoid them. If you get the badge while not in SG mode, you can then turn sg mode on and revisit the area. To get credit. I have done this with 2 vgs I started.

I noticed a few mentioning they bind their upgrade/equips I did this aswell. The six keys above the arrow keys are great. Top row are my henchman (insert, home, pageup), the bottom row are my 2 protectors, and assault bot. With the ctrl held down and any of the 6 keys, I equip, with the alt key and any of the 6 I do upgrade. the keys alone I have set up for repair. So with a single key stroke I get the pet selected and repaired. It has helped immensely in upgrading as I go, and repairing during battle (As long as I hit the right key).

I actually had someone send me a tell when I grouped up asking do I use Khaiba binds. I replied back, I use a modified form of his and MZ's binds with abit of my own. After the mission she sent me tell saying *hug* finally an MM that knows what he is doing. (I just hope that she in charcter was a she in RL ) hehe.

[ QUOTE ]
Why is mine saying this error when I enter the bind in my combat log:

"Usage: bind_load_file takes 1 arg, you gave 2.
Reads a list of keybinds from a file.
bind_load_file <string>"

I am following the directions of the program.

I even clear previous keybinds and I have no clue now.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am guessing the <string> that you are entering has a space. Be sure to include the string in " quotes " so it is treated as 1 arguement.

Ok I realize its not ingame (yet). But there are many threads about it, and I am just curious as to what I may not have read. Questions may not be answerable at the moment. They may be answerable based off other situations. Or my questions may give the devs something to think about. Anyways here are my questions.

Lets start with Being in an SG:

1. I go from villain to hero. I am guessing that would mean I am dropped from my VG?

2. That means my prestige is gone? (since I am not in a vg/sg anymore not really a q but leads to others.

3. I am the VG salavge maker/dump. I leave VG (temporarily of course.) I come back the items I have made already still have? gone?

4. The items placed in the base gone? or still there?

5. The prestige I earned while in the VG. Does the VG lose that prestige if I leave? Putting them n negative numbers?

ok that is the SG stuff. Now reasons to switch sides. outside of story concept.

BADGES! for those of us that just want them.

I swtich to hero side. Do I lose all my villain badges? Keep just the ones that are on both sides? (I want to farm Perez to get the skull helion kill badges).

Exploration badges, and most importantly, the accolades.Can I get them then go back to evil and still have the accolades?

If In sg mode get the beacons, then switch sides do I still have the beacons to put in the opposite sides base? (I am guessing no, but am thinking this may be something that slips by.)

There are some other questions but I dont' recall them all at the moment. But mainly they dealt with sg/prestige and badges.

I am guessing that my Main who is a leader in Mechanations will not beable to change sides to get all the other stuff. But I do have an alt that I would like to take over so he can pound on the Trolls and be the new leader. Since they have a lack of trolls on RI.

Oh remembered another Question.

If I cross over, where would I go to get contacts if I can get them?

And is there a level you have to be. Can I be level 1 switch sides. or Will I have to wait til level 30 or something like that?

Ok thats all for my q's now. Any answers to any of these outside of some of the more obvious (like losing prestige).

Taking down ghost unlocks Crimson Revenant. Check my sig for link to the contact location and missions.

The hammerhead is 100 fo the followers of Ghost. not the regular ones that just lolly gag around.

SOme how this sounds wrong. What I mean by that. Is they didn't datamine for the SFs because they said it would take to long. But it be real easy to figure out. If they killed X name at the end. Such as the Leviathon. You would have a count of 1. Then why can't they give the badge for it, instead of making everyone redo the tf.

Sweet thanks for the info will get that popped up on the site tonight along with any other updates I forgot to put up.

Kristof Jaeger. Apparently at 33 I've outleveled him, so he must be a 25-30. For some reason I thought he was 30-35.

[/ QUOTE ]

He's 25-29, at least according to CuppaJo in another post (and my 29.3 Brute having been able to do his missions).

I posted the story arc name and souvie in the other thread after doing his missions tonight.

[/ QUOTE ]

OMG NO. I had my alt sitting waiting for kristof because I thought he was 30-35. Dange nabit and to think I spent 28-30 street grinding grrr. Well time for another alt to get up to that level.

Trekin follow the link in my sig, I have all the 30-40 stuff up I think I may be missing 1 story arc though. I dont recall right now if I uploaded all the 20-30 stuff as I had to take an alt up through because I lost the sheets I wrote my notes on for that range. I used your site to fill in some of the blanks until I got the new stuff. The only contact I am missing missions for is Kristof Yeager, and that is because his badge is now just fixed and so will be running my villain that was waiting for him to get the latest missions.

What about people who have just CoV? Can they do the same?

[/ QUOTE ]


If all you have is CoV then CoV will load up not CoH. if you want CoH to come up then you have to have CoH to get the screens.

I wiped out my system a few weeks back and reinstalled with CoV so I didnt have to do all that funky property changing stuff.

For those that played WoW you know who Leeroy Jenkins is. Guess who he works for. yep Arachnos. 2nd the guy is an idiot, about as much an idiot as that woman whos name escapes me that works in Atlas MAGI that lost every single magic item to the CoT, and the hero had to go retrieve it. Sometimes just 2 missions later.

For those that don't know Leeroy Jenkins, well do a search on WoW Leeroy and you will find a nice little movie about idiots in MMO games.

[/ QUOTE ]

Acctualy, he isn't the famous Leeroy Jenkins. He's acctualy just Jenkins and was spawned from a thread where someone wished you could work your way up the Crimal ladder by working for each gang and it turned into a thread of jokes where a criminal, a first called you and was later named Jenkins. He worked for every gang and inevitably quit them or gave his two weak notice. In a patch the Devs renamed the Wolf Spider at the end of Breakout Jenkins as a response to that thread, alot like the Kill Skuls badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I created Jenkins before that thread started (I always assumed that the Jenkins in that thread was referring to the one in the tutorial mission).

Well, I shouldn't say "I created"... he was definitely inspired by a certain internet movie.

[/ QUOTE ]

a certain movie? is it the one I am refering too from wow? or a different one? The fans want to know. If leeroy it would definately explain his behavior.

Actually when CoH came out I had a chick night elf, htough looked more from EQ than WOW ears just weren't long enough. Haven't played heros lately and saw something about the pointy ears gone, so not sure if you can still do it on the hero side.
