Justice Blues

While this is technically true, on the iTrial sections that keep leagues grouped together for major fights, my Inv typically hits the Incarnate softcap. Since he isn't even close to softcap for regular content, it tells me the buffing that occurs in those fights is enough to make hitting that cap pretty irrelevant for any reasonably built defensive AT. (My Inv tank is not reasonably built for trials or TFs. He will be eventually, but not at present.)

And a week later I finally get back to the forums to see this bit of bad news. One more thing to edge me to switching sides.

That is a result of the upgrade they made in the PhysX engine. You need to go to your NVidia control software while the game is not running and there will be a checkbox there to turn it off. It is an Nvidia thing, not a COH thing.

And I guess I will see what happens in a bit when I try to log on, since I am in NW Ohio on Time Warner.

Unless their name happens to be Arcanaville. Seriously, the irony in the juxtaposition of this statement (Which I realize does happen to be true) being made by this particular poster is way too high to ignore.

Crap! Does that mean we will have to use the wikia site? I may have to quit playing!

But then I wouldn't have them! I might need them someday!

Sacrilege!



A Kender will steal anything that is not nailed down. And the ones with claw hammers will that that stuff too. Mine carried 2 claw hammers. And all the maps. always all the maps. That way when I got petrified, they had to change me back to get the maps to where we were going. (It took them almost 20 minutes to realize that me being quiet was nice, but getting to the required location was more important.)

I have seen reports and talked to people much lower than Tier 9 that have kept access to their EATs, both red and blue sides. But according to the information put out about the system, that is not WAI and I would not expect it to continue indefinitely.

Maurice was actually moved over to AP with the other contacts, but for some reason Ouroboros is still looking for him in Galaxy. The effect is the same, you can't do the mission successfully.

My question about the Efficiency Expert badge is can a level 50 Hero switch to red side and get it? I have almost convinced myself to switch my Hero badger over for the red side badges, but if he can't get that one, I will not bother.

As already noted in this thread, with an Annual sub (or even better a 14 month sub) plus the Tier 8 150 bonus Points, there are already people paying the equivalent of around $6 a month. And that doesn't take into account the free Server Transfer also included.

The Rule of 5 is for set bonuses. Nothing else in the game uses it.

And I have had not problem getting Morality mission tips to drop after filling all 5 alignment missions in a day. Or when I only had 1 or 2 missions to fill the bar and still had 3 alignment mission tips I didn't do. And I frequently have the second Morality Mission Tip drop during my run of the first Morality mission that dropped. IOW, random is random.

A listing is being kept up here. The Devs have said they are working on an out of game version of the Market, I am sure it will be here Soon.®

That is really just another way of saying the same thing, the only difference is players have to keep track of the components, rather than the game automatically putting the different xp types in the right place. The reason for having Shards and Threads is so the players can get exactly what they need, rather than waiting and waiting for what they want to drop. Before they put in the ability to change the various components, there were lots of complaints about having to wait forever to get the threads and the right drop to complete a power.

They are trying to balance it between being interesting and engaging, but not going too fast, without being too grindy, and limiting the ability of min/max munchkins to game it. No matter what, they are guaranteed to tick off someone.

This got me when I was doing an attempt. I keep Ninja Run on and even using short animation attacks, and taking off for the edge of the circle as soon as I saw it, I was caught at the edge.

Already a precedent. Now they need to follow it. Which I am guessing they will do slowly, since they want to give us something every week. Putting in these unlocks at various times can help fill out slow weeks.

Which is different from spending hours hunting them down only in that you don't have to hunt them. The hours are still there.

Even easier, hard reset on Tuesdays like the WST.

I know for a fact they don't. I have petitioned some people for blatant infringements of well known characters and they were not genericed.

Well, let's see. Both have white hair, white goatee, white top hat with stars on the hat band, and a white shirt. The only visible differences are one has a blue coat and a red bow tie, the other a blue vest with white stars and no tie. And they both have the same name. Just for the record, the DC hero usually wears a blue coat and red bow tie. So the only difference would be the vest.

The fact that DC has not trademarked the image or character, because it is in the public domain as you say, is an argument in your favor. You should point it out to the GM when you appeal, since it would be hard to get sued for trademark infringement when there is no trademark registered.

But hard is not the same as impossible. And while Uncle Sam as the spirit or personification of the USA is not new, Uncle Sam as a super-hero is. You are using Uncle Sam as a super-hero, and Quality Comics, and now DC Comics beat you to it. The GMs may allow your character based on the public domain status, or disallow it to avoid a lawsuit over the concept being stolen.

I think you are correct about being able to use it, but I am not a lawyer, and I am not the one that would have to spend the money to defend myself in a lawsuit. Since even a successful defense is very expensive, companies tend to err on the side of caution.

Now you have me curious. Could you PM me the name?

If you aren't in a rush, the repetition isn't bad. I don't team very much, so most nights I don't do Trials, other nights I will do 4 or 5, usually different ones. My Alpha is T4 (With another T4 and T1 of different kinds being put together from random drops) and I am working on the second T3 for the other slots. One way I have found to keep from getting burnt out is to try for the various badges when attempts are made for them. Last night I joined a MoLambda, which ended up with 4 runs of the trial. (And no Master badge for me because I crashed from the memory leak right at the end of the Well-Stocked run. ) But it really didn't bother me to do it over and over because we were working toward a specific goal.

Same thing when making a try for Avoid the Green Stuff badge on Keyes. 3 runs, none successful for that badge unfortunately, but working on that goal and practicing for it made the runs different enough to avoid burn out. And in the meantime, picking up lots of Astrals, threads, and components.

As for why there are different kinds of components for the Incarnate abilities, it is because the different slots were added at different times. Shards were put into the game with random drops possible in all content, when the Alpha slot was added. But at the time, there were no Trials and no way to get components beyond TFs and Shard drops. But people went all out getting them, building the powers, and stockpiling the drops for the next Incarnate abilities.

The Devs knew this would happen, and planned on the Threads being the major building block for the other powers, but it was only available in Incarnate Trials. If they had not changed the building method for the second 4 Incarnate ability, there would have been people with T4s in all of the powers as soon as they could get the IXP to unlock the slot. On the first day. Probably without having to even run the trials.

The really bad news is, right now we have a long time between releases of new Incarnate slots. And people are still grinding out trials, building up stockpiles of components and threads. So Posi has already said don't be surprised if there is a new level of components and building blocks for the next wave of Incarnate powers. Which to me is a good reason not to grind out the trials like mad right now. Run them enough to keep my enjoyment and get the stuff I need and/or want, then do other stuff.

As he said, they did not delete any characters just freed up the names. GlacialDrift should still have his characters somewhere on a server.

You aren't the first. I forgot to change the account name when logging in and went to a server to find no characters whatsoever. Realized what I had done when I checked a different server and found the wrong characters. Now the 2 accounts have different passwords.
