You're suppsed to escort the villain to the map exit? =0_o= Geez, and I thought the reward was having an NPC helping you out in the fights. <_<

No, you're supposed to take a kidnapping villain to the exit of the map, not the NPC villian.

The NPC villain is there to help you blow stuff up.

If you ever get a mystery Key or don't know exactly what the side mission is supposed to do, check your CLUES tab. A short briefing of the side mission should appear.

Also, if you get a key with no waypoint, you can always check your mini-map for the non-bank, non-police station waypoint (its usually near the spawn you defeated).

Positron,

Not sure if this has anything to do with the removal of the patch, but when doing a mayhem mission yesterday I found the in-game mini-map ('M') un-reliable. Inside buildings, it only partially worked or displayed random areas, but not a cohesive map.

Same thing outside. Map seemed to have a life of its own.

Lastly, as a MasterMind, I found when I entered or left a building (either a side mission or bank) that some of my pets status bars disapeared. If I had 3 soliders and a merc following me....when I entered the back, only the status bar of one pet and the merc showed up. This seemed to fluctuate everytime I entered or exited a building.

I was hoping someone could help me with the correct syntax for a teleport bind I'd like to create:

/bind z "Teleporting to coordinates$$powerexec_name ?????"

Where ???? would be self-teleport, just like 'Recall Friend'. Is it just teleport?

Can anyone out there recommend a updated web-site for badge information?

It appears the 'badge' section on Vidiotmaps is no longer available, and Vidiotmaps in and of itself seems to be in a stage of transition as the original owner recently announced he would be unabel to keep updating it

So just wondering if anyone has begun to collect and play the new AEG CCG game based on CoH.

I saw that you can but starter and booster packs from their website.

Looking for an honest impression and user friendliness of game.

1) SS/SM both deal smashing damage compared to Energy Melee's Energy/Smashing Damage. Smashing/Lethal damage becomes VERY resisted in the end game. Thus, SS/SM will lose out on DPS as levels progress.

2) Stone Melee/Super Strength both have knockback and Energy has disorient. All the level 8 (Knockoutblow) and 18 (Total Focus/Seismac Smash) have holds. I'd say this evens out. (Although Disorient is sometimes considered "weaker" since enemies behave oddly at times)

3) The Brawl Indexes are almost identical:

Finally, the endurance costs are the same across the board assuming the brawl index is equal. That means if a power has a brawl index of say 5, the endurance cost is the same as the power with a brawl index of 5 in another set. (NOTE: Only applies to these sets with a few minor exceptions)

Ultimately, I am wanting to know why would anyone choose Super Strength or Stone Melee over Energy Melee? (Concept builds NOT included)

I know SS gets Rage which is a nice power but is it really worth it to sacrifice everything energy gets?

I am really hoping for a response because I cannot see why would anyone choose these two sets.

I been fooling around creating rooms.

This is what our VG meeting room looks like at the moment.

Walking in.

Flying in.


Enjoy!



[/ QUOTE ]

Well done! That's one of the better rooms I've seen. Plus, thank you for not going with the tired "tech" format.

[/ QUOTE ]

I concur. Nice entrance. Want to almost make me join your VG!

Who exactly ARE the surviving eight, and why are they CALLED the surviving eight?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, after 45 days in the house, the other house guests vote to evict one of the other's, assuming that they don't use the Golden Power of Veto.

I believe the 8 are now: Beau, Ivette, April, Maggie, James, Howie, Janelle and Rachel.
