I think I figured you could get five badges simultaneously or something crazy like that...and deliberately set it up so I did.

It was Weed Whacker (+Hellfrost), Coldblooded, Demonic, Trailblazer. IIRC.

[/ QUOTE ]
You could have gotten one more if you'd managed to set it up so that you dinged a level with that kill.

[/ QUOTE ] IIRC, you don't get the lvl-badge until you actually see the Trainer and lvl-up... but I suppose if you are REALLY good, you could set up an influence badge and paying-off-debt badge at the same time also. Then take it a step further and make it the last enemy in a badge mission, or even an Ouro mission with challenges set.. Then you could probably get upwards of 10 badges at once.. That'd be impressive, and mostly insane.

[/ QUOTE ] When I first log in a new toon, I get 14 badges at once... Some people probably get close to 25 if they have all the Veterans on their account. haha

I've got a question. Does the badge you get for collecting 600 badges COUNT as a badge?

I'm asking because technically, it would be impossible to have exactly 600 badges if that were the case...

[/ QUOTE ]

There is no badge for collecting 600 badges.

[/ QUOTE ] THIS

But to expand on your question, YES the other 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 badges do count towards your badge-count, which means it really is impossible to have exactly that many badges, you'd end up with +1.

It certainly is! Gratz, and I'll be joining you shortly.

We would like to know if you stay out of sync for more than 10 seconds. The server should automatically try to /sync if you're out of sync for that long.

[/ QUOTE ] Would THIS explain some of the rubberbanding reports we've seen lately as well?

Heroes:
(50) * Master-Blade: Katana / Regen (Scrapper)
(50) * Teal Tabby: Invulnerability / Axe (Tank)
(50) Bonfires : Fire / Kinetics (Controller)
(50) * Nurse Smurfette: Empathy / Rad (Def)
(50) Midnight Meow : Energy / Energy (Blaster)
(50) PPD Hardsuit : Rifle / Devices (Blaster)

Villains:
(50) Master-Blades : DB / Willpower (Stalker)
(50) * Robin Rogue: Dark / Kinetics (Corruptor)


I really don't remember when each of them dinged anymore... but there you have it.
The ones I TF with on a regular bases are marked with a *. Call me anytime

*Wonders if anyone has noticed this*

There are 6 debt badges
There are 6 healing badges
There are 6 influence badges
There are 6 held time badges
There are OMGWTFBBQSAUCE 7 damage badges


>.>

[/ QUOTE ] In all fairness:

1st debt badge: 100k
1st healing badge: 250k
1st inf badge: 1,000,000 inf
1st held time badge 30m

and you forgot there are 6 Mentoring badges also.
1st one is 4 hours

1st damage badge: is a joke at only 100k.
IMO, it's the easiest, and the first one out all those sets that I naturally earn without trying.. sometimes even earning the 500k badge before getting any from the other sets.

Everyone here does realize that if you just have a little patience the running enemies will come back, right? Use the time to Rest or whatnot until they return. That's what I do. I'm not anxious to follow them to my imminent doom. I realize that I have more patience than most these days, but really, it doesn't take much.



[/ QUOTE ] I also find that the more you chase after then, the farther they will run. It seems they don't turn around and come back until they get a certain distance away from you first.. so go ahead and just wait and they will.. BRB

If you have a specific question, I'll try to help you.

Server: Protector transfer to Freedom
Character: TylerDur3n
VGestroyers of the Free World

I cant get on my toon at all this is so sad I need him up and running.

[/ QUOTE ] Keep in mind that when you transfer, you won't have a VG anymore.

They have to be specially marked to not get purged in maintainance, apparently.

[/ QUOTE ] You'd think a thumbtack would be enough to protect it. Well I used to have a playerslot.txt sticky and that was purged on the last reset as well.

oh well.

But didn't Zloth host the updated one? How do tacked posts still get purged? lol

[ QUOTE ]
Looks like I will be in meetings/training this entire week...

...so no new useless info posts for the time being.

[/ QUOTE ] except for this one. LOL j.k

You can still trigger a Zombie invasion by turning in Halloween Salvage to Annah in Croatoa. It only works at NIGHT, and does NOT work with Granny in Nerva.

Seconds after you turn in the salvage to Annah at night, a Zombie Invasion will occur in ONE Hero zone [u]and[u] ONE Villain zone.

Good workaround... *Wonders how your team mate didn't notice he had clicked the Pocket D power in the whole interruptible time period with the obvious glowing hands*....

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps he thought he was using the base teleporter vet power (which has the same animation, and I believe brings you back to the zone you came from when you exit the base.)

In that case, he could very well have not noticed the error until after finding himself in the Tiki Lounge.

[/ QUOTE ] but going to your base throws you off the team also IIRC

OK, this thread is now THREE years old! I could swear we had some updates between then and now, but I guess not. I'm going to try and get a new version written with all the latest info.

[/ QUOTE ] make sure to include your handy little tool too eh? :P

Is the quality of the video card the problem? What video card would I need to upgrade to to be able to handle the higher settings?

[/ QUOTE ] brand new system does not mean it was built for graphics. That card/chip is your problem for sure.

If you are going to upgrade video, you'd want the second digit of an Nvidia card to be at least a x4xx to be decently playable, and a x6xx to be good.

I suppose you can see for yourself what a x1xx would be..

The x4xx is ok for people who just happened to have that when they started, but for an upgrade.. do yourself a favor and go right to the x6xx or higher: 8600, 9600, 8800 or 9800. There is also the GTX 280 and GTX 260 if your system can take them.

but for now.. you need to have those graphics at lower quality to improve your performance unfortunately.

I tried using the settings from this post for my new laptop which has to be set to the lowest graphics quality in game settings for the game to run at normal speed and it did not help and slowed my game to the speed of a turtle. I doubled checked all the settings mentioned and tried lowering the ones indicated for slower systems, but it did not help. Here are my laptops specs:

Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv6700
AMD Turion Processor 64X2 2.0 GHz
3GB RAM
My video card is a GeForce 7150M
My drivers should all be up to date and I am not running anything else while playing.

Is there any other info I could provide to determine why the settings didn't help. I just purchased this laptop 6 months ago and I really would like to play the game at a decent graphics quality. Is my computer gimped? My previous computer was older than dirt so I am not that computer savvy and this is my first MMO game. Thanks

[/ QUOTE ] This thread tells us how to achieve the best Quality (for those systems that can handle it), not performance.

Obviously, if your system "has to be set to the lowest graphics quality.... to run at normal speed", then raising the quality is going to slow you down. You answered your own question.

You have a 7150M.. you better stick to the lowest settings. You wont get any better quality without interfering with your performance.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm now I've got an odd question.

The current driver for a geforce 8 series on windows xp 32bit on the Nvidia website is 175.19
Now the card is made by EVGA, on EVGA's website the current driver fot the geforce 8 series on Win XP 32bit is 177.79
Should I be downloading the EVGA driver since they made the card or play it safe and stick to Nvidia's?

[/ QUOTE ] I also tend to believe 177.79 are NVidia's, and people post issues with that particular driver all the time. If you are going to load beta drivers, go with the 177.83, or 177.92 shown in my signature instead.

wow i feel dumb
this sounds way more complicated than just clicking powers,following the orange circles...im not knocking it just sounds like alot more work

[/ QUOTE ] I agree. It's just as easy (or easier) to group the powers together on your toolbar. As soon as you click the first power, the orange circle highlights around the second power in the combo automatically. If you miss, it doesn't highlight the next one and there is nothing else to click to reset. Just click another power and move on. Binds are useful in some cases of course, but they already have a system in game to tell you what the next power is. You don't have to "remember" anything.

Again.. it just boils down to personal preference. Nice job providing the binds for those who wish to use them.
