As Donna mentioned.
Sals Badgehunters has sort of this function as well as being the new badgehunter channel.
It began as being a substitute channel for Union Badgehunters, and when a rogue operative took control over UBH... Well we moved over to Sals Badgehunters.

Know the feeling Gravitation. I remember when I was new to this game and entered Founders falls a few times. Then I saw many lvl 50 rushing to the zone i could not enter (eden).
I heard about hami raid!!
and longed to be part of it too.
My first Hami was right after issue 9 was launched (the new and improved Hami). We spent 7 hours, getting debt galore.. but i still look at it as a fond memory

However it became too hard and not worth the effort. So until the Devs makes some changes to the zone, hamidon itself or so.. I doubt I will see another hamidon try for some time.
Unless villain side want to give it a try.

Yea.. only pay when the lights go out (and get a timer on it)

Oh yes..
Mother's Love : Sadly I have not played much with her, but because who she is and being a heck of a pvp empath

Salacious : The Union Badger GOD.

Hana Li : An awesome Tanker and leader of NHU. She and lucy has both contributed to keep the nhu strong and active in rp.

Lucy Shine : For making the New Heroes Union Base (and second floor).(both are worth watching)

Pious : Big contributor to the RP community

Globey: Although i have a feeling Globey dont like rp (and i do).. he is good at what he does in PvP.

FFM (Floating Fat Man): Not played much with you (i think), but you have contributed with so much fact here on the forums (and when i look at rp).

Lost Samurai has been mentioned allready. I will not forget the first Hami raid after issue 9

Hehe Guffy.. Prestigewise its the same with us
Personally i love the "look in peoples eyes" well their comments when we give them a little tour around the base. As they become members.
and more over (due to my evil streak).. love hearing about people getting lost in the base ;D

Well it seems the work around (if your also interested in XP and getting levels at the same time) for this is....

Team up with 7 other players. This means more spawns, more people that can stand next to the same doors (preferably four) and continue tricking and treating. Through a 2-4 hours you will have gotten enough Spirits for the "Buster" badge and can then solo for Treats.
Perhaps the spirits are set now for fixed spawn, perhaps a 1-5% (if not just 1%). In any event a big team will get more spawns and they all go towards everyones badges.
Did this on a 3 characters of mine. But as I said getting a level or two just for wanting "Buster" is kinda overboard.

The Spirit itself cant have been set as a boss creature (as it do not appear as a boss and can be spawned solo).

Well that is a few thoughts and conclusions from me. If this is not intended I hope the Devs fix it (so do petition it) or we will have a badge here that few will search for.

There is a few reasons NOT to raise the level cap.
1. The sheer amount of new content that the Devs have to make. If they do this, then dont expect any issues for several months. New villains, new zones, new storyarcs. It would be akin to a new expansion of work.
This is what i've read on boards where this same question has come up.

2. 50 has been set as the max level and people are maxing as much as they can on their builds. With lvl 50 purples and other recipes. If the cap was raised it would make all the work in perfecting your character worth nill. And you would have to start again.

What the future holds, I have no idea, but we get hints as mentioned in this thread.

Too many for me.
Gotten them on 3 of my chars now... now for the rest. But my main badger got them. That was four quick badges.. sniff (happy)..

Yes the ghosts have a rediculus spawn rate. If you dont care about xp, i would suggest you enter a Trick and treat team (the more the better). This increases the odds of getting one. As more players = more spawns (ok less treats for you but meh)
I've given up getting "Buster" badge solo. I fear how many levels I will need to do Trick or treating (on lower level chars) just to get ghosts.

Been doing some Trick and treat in a team of 8.. it goes slowly. Problem is... it gets to be too much xp, too quick.
I had all the other badges, just the "Buster" left (still working on it) and I want to do other content (story arcs too). But with the Spirits this rare... I have gotten 1 level in the mids... just for the hunt of spirits.

Devs, pretty please with sugar on top. Make the Spirits a bit more common. (that is the only scar of the joy of Halloween)

Have you checked that the zone event (hero or villain) is on, so you get a message that your invaded?

spawn around the GM.. that is the unseelie.

Did alot of the hunting solo and in teams of 4 or 5. And even in the teams I saw them perhaps once per hour, this goes also for the soloing.
Can't remember them being this hard getting last year... so something is not as it should be.

Dear Devs.
Noticed that the "spirits" have a very very very low spawn rate. Would it be possible to give them the same ratio as the rest of the halloween trick and treat spawns?
I sort of dont mind as it will give more treats, but it sort of gets boring jumping and (farming) doors for "Buster" badge.

So dear Devs... will we get it early too? pretty please with sugar on top?

/signed Not done it yet, but fear of doing it is overwhelming. Specially when all your doing is look at the team window and make certain the health bars are full.

Our SG has a huge base, a few months ago, after i12 broke the maze, I spent a couple of weeks totally rebuilding it.


[/ QUOTE ]

Know the feeling. We have a huge base too (and that a base can hold infinite amount of items is not advisable to try ) last halloween we tried to upgrade our base (again) and our Architect made some pretty nifty rooms. The entire base (we have also dubbed it "The Maze") went poof 5 times.

Oh well guess our architects wont mind that refund thing and let the base stand.
Our wish though is more choice of items we can place. So unless the Devs gives us more items I doubt "the maze" will get a revamp due to the refund.

Weirdest.. hmm
Well.. Whenever there is a new issue with new npc's.. the Radiomission that I have not completed on my main char gets a funny change.
I sometimes use radiomissions to get damaged taken (badge), this one had arachnos as villains. Then issue 11 comes. And it changed every arachnos troops into Civilians (the one you find in Mender Tessaracs arc.

Another radiomission I still have, with again Arachnos troops... I can just say I dont need to use the midnighter club to beat down on them roman traitors

As mentioned yes, I miss the generic numbers on the soldiers in the shadow shard.

The marked is thus. People bid, highest gets the item. So if some puts offer of 100 mill and it is the highest. They win.

Now.. here is the important part. The lowest offered item, this case the Lotg recharge, will go first. If you priced it too 100 mill it will take a long time (to the point where it is no other offered) before that one gets sold.
Now if you had put it too .. say 95 or 96 mill it would sell before all the other lotg recharge that has been put up on price for 97-100 mill.
As it is now, your lotg recharge is last in line to be sold.

Gratulations to the winners. Would love to see pictures as I did a little miscalculation... And joined Atlas park after one hour had passed. Oh well another time.
But Pictures please

Well regarding to the future issues.
Issue 13 we know and is just around the corner.. Issue 14 we know as the Architect
Issue 15 will be according to Positron... A big storywise Issue. Little is known other then that it deals with loose ends... or is deep Plotwise.
Guess the coming storm?

If there is any invention badges you should make.. it is the 25/30 ones... Reason. TWO, 2.. I say again TWO extra salvage slots on your character for EACH badge!

At level 40 check out Shadowshards and use the local travel. Its a great change to your normal travel ;D

For information and whats needed for Accolade badges. head to http://coh.redtomax.com/badges/
That place is a great place to check up on what requirements are for those nice extra powers. And every accolade power is well an extra power in your arsenal as you progress (why wait until you reach 50).

If your on union and you get more bitten by the badge collecting. Do join us at the channel "Sals Badgehunters"
Its an public channel where badges have priority (but some non-badge chat happens... as is usual.) If you have need for a special TF.. well tf's are organized regulary.

Other things to do. Be ingame during Halloween and winterevent for a different hunt.

Well just a few thoughts from me

Not encountered any lag this weekend.
Earlier I had some lag spikes but they are very rare.
Sometimes it helps to Defrag your harddisk(s) (several times). Running a virus search or spyware search. Cleaning up you know on your harddrive.
If you run many programs turn them off (specially if you use download stuff).

Sometimes however you can have done all above or more and still it is lag.. ok.. then its the server. But how long is it until last defrag?

yess. more badges. Love them shiny things.
Yes im a Badge-affordable friend.

Also new badges in SG mode. For new items in the bases.
Like 10000 family perhaps (or less) for pool table.

Dont have the linky too other badge suggestions sadly.

Well about the Theft.
It all comes down to who do you allow to get permissions in doing things. The rank system in the sg.
One way would be to perhaps get various types of ranks and classifications on that.
Besides that.. it runs down to trust amongst players.
But yes, going to miss the base salvage.

oh yes.. forgot that detail.
Scotlands_Bru

Yes Base salvage will be removed and we can create base stuffs with invention salvage. (hope we can store it too)
And base items will be cheaper prestige wise...

Well just hope salvage will be easy to come by.. cause i have a feeling with base salvage gone.. it will be more expensive...
