  1. Worst case scenario, we don't finish, but we still get the rewards for an hour and a half of running missions on a full team. Heck, for some they'll be able to work on the Troll, CoT and Igneous boss badges, and that last one is pretty tough unless you're level 50 and dedicated.
  2. But I'm looking to run the Cavern of Transcendence. Not ghost it, I want to actually run it. Yes, I realize that the time limit will make it tricky at best, but it's just something that I've never done, and I'd like to at least say I've tried it.

    And as I type this, I realize that Badge already tried something similar with the Eden Trial.

    Whatever the case, I'll be gathering Heroes brave or foolish enough to join me in this attempt this Saturday, August 14th around 8PM Eastern. If we don't have enough folks to start, we may try to put together a Posi run instead.

    Any takers?

    I believe that's only an option for the 'shirt' category of tops for females.
  4. My personal pet peeve when it comes to 'gender specific' items. And this one really has no business being gender specific.

    The Decorated Military Formal jacket.

    It's the Military Formal jacket, with slightly different coloring (the second color affects pockets as well as the lapel) and a multi-color version of the awards chest detail. The jacket specific version looks far and away better than the chest detail version, and the jacket is available to male builds only. It's not even available for Huge, even though in every other circumstance they get the same costume options.

    Hey, at least this way I don't have to try to remember the old account if I want to get back into badge hunting.
  6. I wonder if Badgehunters ever clears out old info. Is M I still on the lists? Looks like he isn't.

    Oh no, I counted Ciara in the five. I was thinking Rose, because resolved or not, she's yet another woman who stood in the way of his power. It's more a question of if Conall's going to be entirely focused on those five specific women, or has he become a misogynist in general.
  8. Oh, no. I've already gotten in trouble with Sooner for revealing too much. The clues are all there, you just need to find them.

    I can remember that there's something about a 'thrice learned lesson' but I can't remember what that might be.

    EDIT: Oh dear. I just remembered the sixth woman that he's got a hate on for.

    Merits hero side

Plus as has been mentioned earlier, if teamed then not everyone gets those merits.
    Actually, this has been corrected as well. Now that we have concurrent missions, everyone on a team gets completion credit if they have the same mission as the active one. And since the contacts in the Hollows always give the same missions in the same order, all you have to do is catch up the slower teammates, and you can run the entire zone once, and every one gets the credit, and the merits.

    Not to mention that there's a trainer and a couple of shops (one at each door) in the zone as well. I'd like to say there's a hospital to boot, but even though I JUST ran that zone on a lowbie blaster solo, I can't really remember where I went the one time I died.
  11. While I'm looking forward to what Trix will say to Conall, I'm also wondering what will become of Na'rul. I'm glad Sooner seems to like writing, because there's a lot of story left to tell, and if it's only half as good as what has come before, it will still be awesome.

    Welcome back CoP

    If your group manages to stop Rularuu's insane scheme, your courage will be rewarded! You can earn Merit Rewards, or even earn a rare badge to celebrate this epic victory.
    Now the question is: Are we talking the old badge for completing a scheduled raid, or a new one all together?

    Well, we have mention now. Looks like you're right, the CoP has nothing more to do with Base Raids.

    I think this is my favorite line in this story.

    New GR Video

    There's something funny with the video in that every link seems to fluctuate between private and public. I was able to watch it on the NCSoft official YouTube channel.
  16. I guess this is not *quite* the right place for this, but I still hold out hope that someday the decorated formal military jacket currently available only to male Heroes will someday be granted to female and huge characters.
  17. It seems like we are closing in on the beginning.

    Incidentally, this is another good reason why people shouldn't feel like I have some sort of claim on themed TFs. As it stands, there's only one day I can regularly schedule something like this. If others jump in, then this kind of think can be held whenever.

    Incidentally, if you guys want a suggestion for which TF to run, may I suggest either one involving Faathim? Granted, the Shard TFs are on the long end, but the Chantry and the Storm Palace do seem to bear a resemblance to Sky High itself to me.

    Time to flip out

    In Hulkers defense, I did take the second shot before he had a chance to change back. I wasn't sure he had any intention to.

    Task Force Paradox



    And back to normal



    (Well, except for Hulkers, who said the change for his character may be permanent)

    Time to flip out

    Unless you live in one of those areas that doesn't do DST, it should still be the same.

    And remember, this is tomorrow.

    That was meant as a little joke about how usually when something becomes available online, usually immediately afterward there's a problem with the website, bringing it down for a couple hours. And it wasn't meant as a slam against NCSoft, in case you were wondering, it's just that the significantly higher traffic on release days tends to do damage.
  23. Given the history of similar purchases like this one, both from this company and others, I estimate that it will be available for sale roughly three hours before the servers are ready, and at least six hours after the purchasers are.
