Lady Arete

Bye Shades, you will be missed.
Wishing you the best in what now lies before you. Take care

You will excuse us if we say... Hope to see you again in a couple of issues or two

Judgement Dave
As said, people tent to use Oroboros for the accomplishment badges that are attainable.
On Sals Badgehunters there are more tf starting. However I too wish to see more announcement when one has a badge mission, then simply tfs there.
Apart from TF's the other "normal" badge type to announce are Safeguard/Mayham badges, or special hunt types (overseers, Fake Nemesis, cov outcats... etc) and the occational GM's.

I would not demand any influence (although I have been given tips in the past (pre-oro)) so demanding payment for it is just.. meh in my ears. And wonder what kind of people that would be

Little to no info is given about the origin packs. There is no concrete info about them, else that Jay (sexyjay and head of costume department) is long since finished with it and have begun making other costumes. Thus we just await more news.
The info im sad to say, can't remember the links atm. (comes from reading the devdigests too much)
Thus we simply await, screenies and such from the Rednames.

(but checking to see if i can find the links)
Edit:
That it will come at the same time as i-14

Yes, there are plans for Origin packs (so atleast 5 in total).
Next one, the Superbooster magic pack will be available when issue 14 goes live.
Atleast that was the info when I last checked.

Hmm I have lived under the assumption that I did post here, oh well time I did. (o.o).

Global name: @Lady Arete
Server: Union
Rp Characters: [Name links are to Union Handbook]
Heroes: [Lady Arete and Cyrene both got link to the Handbook]
Lady Arete - An apperantly young sorceress of 25 years. She came on the hero scene after the first Rikti war and the call for heroes by Statesman. Since then she has aided heroes with her magical powers.
She has recently joined the NHU and acts as one of their magical experts. She knows many forms of magic; wards, teleportation, a little alchemy. For now her speciality is Fire Magic. She hates the Circle of Thorn with a passion and seeks every possibilty to twart them.

Cyrene - A club singer who hides her club identity in plain sight. In the club environment she is known as "The Siren". So far it has worked cause no one has guessed that "The Siren" and "Cyrene" are the same woman. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful and her shows are great for buisness.
[The chars: Cyrene, Ms Cyrene or Gun Cyrene are all the same chars. Just had to add to her abilities ]

Triple Kick - (Amber Roberts) One of 3 triplets, who recently has come to the City. They call themselves "Triple Trouble". Being mutants, Ambers gift is that she can mimic moves, battle stances and yes martial art styles. She gets her inspiration from Hong Kong movies. Now if only she could stop being afraid of her own shadow (that winks at her).

Other Heroes, less played:
Swordmaiden - French melee expert. She came from France to Paragon City, because she wanted more control over her own life and not being controlled by the government. [The CoX Comics portray Paragon City as giving more freedom for Heroes]
Dr Voodoo - A mage who often is found in the shadows. He is old and comes from Jamaica and speaks with such an accent. His magic are more enclined to the dark side.

Villains [Consort has a link to the Handbook]

Consort - A beautiful and manipulative woman. She will listen and she will talk and before you know it, you will have confided in her and told her things you would not tell anyone else or just a few. And she has not even begun using her mutant powers on you.

Sound Mistress - An alternate version of Cyrene.

Those are the rp chars, more have a chance to come. We will but see.

Type of RP: Im more of a casual. Although I prefer being in-char. (Hard when your a badge-wh... affordable friend aswell)
Can be contacted: Global tells are great, also pm/email here on the forums
Online time: Afternoon most of the days. Servertimeish 6pm->
Timezone gmt+1

My Defenders:
Cyrene (Empath/Sonic) One of my favourite chars (And just had to make the Redsided equivalent (corr version)).

Less played
Dr Voodoo (Dark/Dark)
Stormcharge (Elec/storm)

Good luck in your endevour Col. Blitz. Hope to see you soon so may you get that new job quickly

Hmm "To all your chars"
I expect all Current chars, wonder if this will mean those you create after you get it.

But that post is a relief to read

Wishing you the best Static into the new world you are going to.
Not going to discount the possibility of you coming back (the lure of spandex is a strong one).
Myself I did quit AO 2 years ago (when i started playing CoX) and I dont look back (only regret i did not join CoX earlier ) The way the Devs over at AO screwed the faction i played it was just... not fun. (Neutral)

Heh, they might aswell.

But I did believe it did work with the new pages they copied/pasted in... But that is me believing it or hoping.

I do see that Union from time to time goes to Yellow mode though, so im starting to believe that Yellow is good (server is up!) and green is well... Unknown status.
Test well since its 3 servers now... I've dropped the belief there

Yes we are. New blood (more players to play with = wohoo )
I know its been said already, but welcome to the game and welcome to the forums.
If you have questions, dont be shy in asking them here or if you need some questions answered ingame...
Do give me a tell /t @lady arete,
and Im on Union.

Going to add:
Mission Architect Faq US forum

A Dev Pohsyb have given lots of answers in the above post further in the thread.
To get quick access to them, Use this Dev Tracker. and look at all the answers in "Mission Architect" -thread.

update.. just noticed that Union after atleast 30 min went from green to yellow.

... and we can enter... okaaaay...

/signed

Well it is just weird since they did remake the entire page, one should believe that they had gone through all the code and fixed what was problematic.
copy/paste from US server status, then rename?

http://eu.cityofheroes.com/en/news/server_status/

At the early morning I tried to log on the server and could not get in. I assume its maintenence. However the "Server Status" still shows all the gameservers except for test as Green.

Also: The errormessage explaination message after you have pressed your username, password and log in, directs you to the US server for serverstatus. Not the EU.

Yes it is Mother. 3 active (uploaded) story arcs at any one time.
And Countless more arcs that are under development (aka not uploaded to the game)

Very nice, Thank you Mumsie.
Looking forward to play around with the system and make a few storyarcs. (Since i will work on badges (day job badges while doing it ;D)

Just hope the badge system will be ok, and not with too many badges connected with the Devs choice. But lets see.
Anycase, looking forward to this and all the content that will come from creative minds

Welcome back Matakoshi.
Yes things have changed. If you have a badger on union, do drop us a call in "Sal's badgehunters"

Ah.. sort of phew here. (Save yourself another week by doing it each 21 days )

Larac... you mean every 21 day. The needed amount of days are 21 days

Not adverse in letting ghosting happen, truth be told it happens often. But only when the entire team agrees on it (or it is late and we must finish asap).
Cave of transcendence is mentioned (that is one where we ghost.. and ghost and ghost through tunnels and letting one ghost and tp us around on them pillars) and since we are on a timer on that one ghosting is your friend.
(Since im with the mindset "XP is easy... to easy to get" and "XP comes when it comes and soon the ding will arrive anyway")

Never ghost though on the first or second time I do a tf/story arc in team, Unless I'm soloing though.

As a badge-affordable friend I've gotten several of them.
Must admit i've not concentrated one one at the time (having progress bar on several now )

Dont want to let my main badger be offline too much, so I play when i play and im very certain to place all chars on dayjob locations.
(even though who are not badgechars.. *sigh* )

One thing i've noticed on the higher badges like 1000, 2000 and 3000 (etc)...
lets say i got the 2000 badge on a character, the next one will thus need only 1000 sales right?
True, cause it will not count the previous ones (thats why the badge-o-meter is a bit on the low side (should have shown over half right? Not with the new system)

hmm what i typed could be misinterpreted.
Instead of showing progress of previous sales it goes sort of with this formula "new total of sales for next badge" subtract the previous badge total = What is needed and shown at the badge-o-meter.
Thus I have the 2699 sales (only shows 699 on the badge-o-meter) what i need for the next badge is 301 sales. And that is what the badge-o-meter will show.

Is this the case with you MajorPain?

Not yet Larac, give it a few more months
But 500 is a good number
