I hope I spelled everything right

When you get into CoV and you MasterMinds want your pets to do the emotes


/petsay text

is the command to make the targeted pet "say" something

/petsayname petname text

is used to make an individual pet "say" something

/petsayall text

will make all the pets "say" the samething
Replace "text" with whatever you want them to say

for emotes you must put the emote in <> with the word emote
for example

/petsayall <emote cower>

will make all the pets cower in fear
or if you make 2 pets face each other and type

/petsayname fred <emote batsmash$$petsayname
wilma <emote batsmashreact>

it will look like fred is beating wilma with a bat and the animations will be timed to react perfectly when used on the same sized pets.

Whew! I hope that all made sense... if not, I hope its in the CoV manual

Bump this is a good guide, and I want to keep it active.

Wow man great guide, but it means almost nothing now that ED is out.

Any chance of a respec to the guide?

Good guide.

I already knew this stuff, but I think for the casual viewer it will help a great deal. Good Job!

this is assuming your information on how long it takes to get the badge is correct. We don't know for certain and I think it's wrong.

I am 3/4 of the way to the 5th sk badge and it hasnt taken that long.

Ill keep you posted.

[ QUOTE ]
Please ensure that anyone who wishes to obtain a badge accrued by defeating a numerical amount of members to a villain group must /exemplify to a level where these villains are also worth experience.

Otherwise, we have hordes of high level characters swarming upon an area much to the chagrin of lower level characters of newer players.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes this does happen but it will only last a week tops, then everything will setle down, and often we help lowbies.

[ QUOTE ]
But more importantly than anything else, this does not explain why I have the Shard and Moonfire Badges on Test, and now they say it will not happen for Issue 5?

This is the burning question isn't it. I can't wait to hear what they say.

18 months to datamine? Wrong. I2 is where you start from. Thats what...10 months?

[/ QUOTE ]
Even if you very generously assume that the time taken would be halved if you start from I2, that's still going to take a full year to process.

It isn't worth it. Suck it up. Either do the TF again, or don't do it. Your choice. Not a forced decision.

[/ QUOTE ]


Uhm it is worth it. SO it takes a year? it will take at least that long to get the new Billion point badges anyway.

I say mine away!

[/ QUOTE ]

From your perspective perhaps. You're not the one devoting cycles to the useless project.

[/ QUOTE ]

True; I am the one paying them to do it. And just because you think it's useless doesn't mean it is.

[ QUOTE ]
I have looked up Accolades, and all of them combined will probably effect your gameplay slightly moreso than a badge. That is, not much at all. Unless you wanna tell me that having 15% more HP will let you survive that fight that you couldn't before. Or that extra 10 endurance will let you fire off one last attack that allows you to kill that AV that you never could before. Or those powers that you can use once every 25 minutes will let you bump your difficulty up to Invincible, which was heretofore impossible. Or that having all of them will let you do anything you couldn't do before with any sort of greater success. If you feel like telling me that, then you better have an actual example to back it up.

[/ QUOTE ]

All of that and you still don't know what Zookeeper is for.

It's arguably one of the best ways to keep yourself alive in the late game.

Once again, as before, I'm up against you and your monkeyboy Foo007.

All I ever see you two post is hate for people on the boards just to spite. I don't even know why you are interested in this game. All you ever do is [censored] on people and their feedback to the Development Team like you're god on high and the rest of us are beneath you.

Why don't you [censored] off already.

If nothing in this game is worth anything, why are you even here?

Why do you hang around this place?

Why are you such an arsewhole?

Why do you care that the rest of us like to collect badges and have a bone to pick about the way they're implmented with the Dev Team?

[/ QUOTE ]

/signed

[ QUOTE ]
Are the Task Force badges in question part of those Accolades?

Also, is another 10 endurance worth the time it takes to get it?

They can't do the badges due to it being unfeasible. Live with it. With all the crap that's flying around now due to I5 and CoV, I doubt this TF badge is even in the periphery of their concern. Pick your battles, people.

Just because YOU don't think something is important doesn't mean it isn't.
Get over yourself

These forums are here for feed back Mr. Dumass
They are here so that we the consumer can be satisfied. We are trying to get things changed by voicing our opinions and while it is good that we get some responses, those responses will inevitably breed new questions.

Being a fanboy and trying to scold everyone is what is not helping.

as for this: [ QUOTE ]
If you are the type of person to yell and scream and demand things all the time, expecting since you pay a measly 15 dollars a month that you can command things. You are very sadly mistaken.
I can tell you that no business will go beyond a certain limit to satisfy any single person who represents such a small amount of income to the company. If you have a 1000 accounts, then perhaps you would be worthy of their attention. But at anything less than that, your number value is too small for them to concern themselves with.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what shows us what kind of company they have. Does the little guy matter? do the people who have been here suporting and helping CoH grow matter? If not should we continue to suport them?
I have worked for many companies who do make the customer feel important and they do good business.

If it isn't okay for Statesman to tell us how to play the game, why is it okay for you?

[ QUOTE ]
Why didn't you tell us the TF's would probably not be datamineable?
A pre TF disclaimer would have been enough.

You have the Ability to award individual players badges. Don't lie to us. GM's CAN award badges.

Compensate me for my time. I demand satisfaction. Work with me until I am satisfied just as Any respectable business would. Start offering your unhappy customers something, this is your mistake not hours.

Give me the 4 new badges for all TF's until you have the ability to prove that I did NOT complete the TF's.

And don't tell me that this is "Just a badge" Items in other games that take similar amounts of time to acquire sell for hundreds on e bay or in game auctions. The badges are Very valuable to me.

I demand satisfaction, that is all.

I'll pop in here so you guys have a new target.

The original Task Force Datamine took 3 months to finish. That was to go over 2 months worth of data.

We now have 18 months worth of data. We looked for a more effecient solution, but our estimates still come out at 2 years to datamine and get you your badges.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why can't you award the badge to those who have the Souvenir?

It should be an auto award upon loading up I5.

So it will take years to get. So what? Do it anyway! Do you think my 1 billion points of healing will be comming around anytime soon? I can wait. DO it anyway.

I am have been told by others that it no longer does, though I have not tested it myself.

Hows so? I was satisfied after I got my zookeeper badge, now I am not because it's lost its worth. It used to be hard to get, now it's not so I think those that spent the extra effort should be rewarded.
ie: Greater work= Greater reward.

Nope I just saw a place to vent, and didnt look at the date, I am dumb.

Though my statement on the subject stands, since the amount of monkeys has been reduced in I5.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Yah, but... but...

How many do you need? Do you actually need 2500 monkeys, or will a couple hundred do?

[/ QUOTE ]

Gosh, that would be pathetic if really need to kill 1000+ monkeys, oh well, on the bright side, they are easy to kill...

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope thats sarcasm, 'cause I had to kill 10,000. and I did it before group kills counted. SO I killed 10,000 monkeys and have nothing to show for it except the same stupid badge evryone else will have after 2500.

Yeah for you guys, but that sux. They should have a special 2nd badge available only to those who already got 10,000.
But that won't happen cause it would be a reward for game loyalty, (ie: giving a break to those who have played pre new changes)and they don't do that with this game.....

Man what I would give for a chance at the Isolator badge.

[ QUOTE ]
I love the special sprint effects for CoH, great touch, but I hate the costume pieces thing. Any chance the big bad $90 Collector's Edition of CoV will unlock all four helmets? That would make me feel better, especially about paying $90.

[/ QUOTE ]


/signed

What I want to know is:

1. Will we be able to pre-order the dvd special edition?
2. Will there be anyway to get all the special helmets with out buying the game over and over?
3. Will we ever find out what the monthly fee will be in conjuction with the CoH fee?

Thank you.

[*]Badge Usefullness. Just something that I thought I'd throw out there. Maybe the more badges you get the more influence you could earn. Maybe a 0.1% increase per badge or so that way we have additional incentives for collecting. [/LIST]

[/ QUOTE ]

What would be really neat is if when you sported a badge for killing a certain group they suffered a 5%debuff to attacking you. Sort of the badguys are a little more intimidated by you because of how successful you have been at arresting them.

So having the kill skulz badge would give Skulls a -5% to hit, or something, when you wear that badge tittle.

Just a thought.

Lvl 28 Ice/Ice Blaster here.

Tried it on test, and came to the conclusion that the amount of time it takes to drop to 40% is great for me to stand there, but I use the little brown defiance bar to gauge where I am at for the extra damage.
Its just not worht the risk for me to wait around. The defence/resistance I have to the anmount of damage I am taking just isn't enough for me to get more than 1 shot off. So its either take that last shot and take down the one target (granted...I'm Ice) and get the debt, or run back, pop a heal, and I'm able to stand toe to toe again with the rest of the mob as well, negating the defiance. I just found myself not willing to take the risk.

It feels like this should be an "Oh crap" power, rather than a power to give blasters the "edge" they need. I rely on it too much.

I was always a big fan of "The closer the blaster is, the harder they hit". This just seems like playing Russian Roulette with my blaster.

This power is sposed to be the equivilant of a blaster reaching inward for inner strength to complete a task. It adds character and fun to the class. I dont think it was meant to make us more powerrful, just more interesting and Heroic. I love it!!
