Quote:pretty sure they only award extra astral merits upon re-achieving the badge requirements, my toons which have master of BAF even getting all the badges "again" only awards astral merits (if in that case i get 7 astral merits)Originally Posted by Arbegla
Strong and Pretty, the Baf badge, awards a Emp merits instead of an astral if you already have the badge. I know that for a fact. I think 'Gotta keep em Seperated' does the same.
I'm not sure if any of the Lambda badges also award emp merits (Antiacid, Lambda Looter, or Well Stocked) but as those are arguably much harder then the baf badges, i would think they award them as well. -
my main is now up to 1211 badges now after getting every new badge for i20 (as well as one respec badge i was missing)
still behind by like 8 vet badges which sucks -
Quote:the reports that i have seen of poeples petitions on this matterOriginally Posted by Lothic
With all due respect to the GMs/Devs it appears they are once again "confused" about how their own game works. How on Earth could a league earn Lambda Looter, Well-Stocked and Antacid all during one run if the badges actually worked as described? I was on a Lambda Trial just last night where I myself earned those 3 badges together in one run.
I really hate when the GMs respond to players in this vaguely condescending way when they are clearly wrong. Either their "understanding" of these badges is wrong or they aren't working the way they say they're supposed to. Either way the GMs/Devs are probably going to remain convinced they are right and we are wrong until we keep beating it over their stubborn heads long enough to admit it. *sigh*
according to them, to get antacid you have to get all 10 acids and 0 pacifications and use no acids but if you get or use a pacification then this badge fails
also according to them, to get well stocked (the badge for 10 pacifications and not using them only), they gave the same response as above
they did not mention that all 3 could be earned in one run and the only one that appears to be working properly is lambda looter (badge for 10 of both and not using either)
im in agreement with you that the GMs have no clue whats going on and they have their info wrong and antacid/well stocked are both bugged if you want to earn them on their own, but are possible to earn if you just go for lambda looter -
Quote:this is correctOriginally Posted by GuyPerfect
This is incorrect. My league achieved Master of Lambda Sector last night and, since I'd already done Lambda Sector in a 20-hour period, I did not receive an Empyrean Merit.
the side badges only award uncommon component and the MO badges award a rare component
i do not think there is any way to get more than 2 empyreans a day (which is ridiculous considering the costs in empyreans to get a very rare component, which is 30, at least you can get them faster than alignment merits for purple or pvp IOs lol) -
Quote:i would assume they could be used anywhere, however, if you read the info on the inspiration (type [ultimate] in game) it says you can only have 1 in use at a timeOriginally Posted by Roderick
Ultimate gives a Level Shift, not an Incarnate Shift. As such, they work anywhere. I'm not sure how they function while exemplared, nor how they stack. Someone with a lot of money to throw around is going to have to test that.
so the max you could do is +1 (in addition to what you already have if your 45+ with other lvl shifts) anywhere at any lvl for 3 minutes -
its possible there could have been an email rollback, if there was (very likely there could have been), if you remember all the items that you had sent to email before the downtime, you can petition and usually get those items back
-
Quote:might have either been changed or something, once tried doing that and a friend who tried doing that and had to redraw on EVERY attack since each attack had different spines graphicsOriginally Posted by Smersh
Not really. In many cases, it causes the spines effects to stack.
that was of course right around when the power customization came out, so very likely its changed since then (i very rarely change my toons costumes once i make them) -
Quote:this is a nice feature, but causes additional redraw, if you dont mind the redraw, then more power to you lolOriginally Posted by Smersh
For real fun -
Consider the fact that each spines power is individually customizable. -
for a large majority of my mm, i almost always have at least 1 personal attack, my main actually has 3 non incarnate attacks on his 2nd build (5 non incarnate attacks on his main build)
for my MM experience, i overall treat my pets as meatshields and aggro magnets, if they die, idc ill just resummon them, if they are dying a lot i dont even bother to train them and just keep sending more fodder into the cannon lol
mm class has always appealed to me because of the pets, i love pets, and i wish all my toons had pets like my mm -
what the GM says is actually true, there are plenty of recipe sets which have much lower lvl caps
for example the miracle set caps at lvl 40 -
Quote:i wish they had a shard component and thread component option for all 5 incarnate abilities, then they could have a 2 way conversion (thread -> shard, shard -> thread) and wouldn't force people to only do the trialsOriginally Posted by Clouded
Ugh, I'm so blind.
Thanks you two.
incarnate xp should be limited only to thread conversions and trials though, but it would be nice to have other options -
Quote:yeah since most of the incarnate powers can more or less perma, it would be much more useful if they were at least perma (since they can still die before the power recharges, thats more than enough downtime)Originally Posted by Noxilicious
I still wish the Lore pets had less downtime. Ten minutes seems pretty long to me for an Incarnate power.
i love my lore pets, but i hate the long downtime so i tend to wait to use it till they will be the most helpful (such as BAF escapee phase) -
Quote:check the scroll bar next to all of the alpha boosts, the first "recipe" uses shard components and the 2nd "recipe" uses thread componentsOriginally Posted by Clouded
I was just online a few minutes ago and did not locate an option to use Threads rather than shards for the Alpha. I'm not saying it's not there, but rather asking for you to point where the option for using Threads exists. Pllllllllease.
-
to make it easier they should just have the temp power drop on whoever got the killing blow on the cache/chamber lol
would solve some problems IMO lol -
Quote:from what zwillinger mentioned in another thread it sounds like they will be fixing the mapserver crashing issuesOriginally Posted by TsumijuZero
Maybe they are fixing the Lambda badges or adding new Incarnate trees? :P
One can only hope...
but other bug fixes would be nice too lol -
i used ie9 for a bit for forum browsing and didnt have issues with it, i didnt like it though cause trying to make a post in ie9 was awful cause all the text seemed to lag and wouldnt register all my keystrokes
i stopped using firefox 4 because it was eating my RAM (3 tabs open was using 190 MB RAM)
so lately ive been using google chrome with no issues -
Quote:you got it backwards, there is a shard to thread conversion (1:1 ratio once every 20 hours and 2:1 ratio with no limit, each costing 2.5 mil per conversion)Originally Posted by JAG-01
I believe you already can convert Threads into Shards, but at a pretty crappy exchange rate.
I could be wrong, though. There's no mention of such a system on ParagonWiki, but then again, it's a system that's only been in place for a week and a half.
I won't be able to verify until I check this ingame. -
Quote:im in US and the popup came about 7 minutes ago, its half past noon right now for the east coast USOriginally Posted by Kallandra
Has the time for this been changed? Because in game we've just had the
"[Admin] Attention! In 30 minutes, City of Heroes and City of Villains will go down for daily server maintenance. The "downtime" window is two hours long but maintenance may or may not take that entire time. We will have the game back up as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!"
If the Americans don't know, it's only HALF PAST FIVE, which means the downtime is from 6pm till ?
it actually would have been more convenient for me had it been at the scheduled time lol -
Quote:it might have been that, i think i might have seen one post about it on the forums but i honestly dont remember lolOriginally Posted by Vanden
You mean at PAX East? They didn't bring it up, I did. And they were like, "Uh... Erm..."
all i remember is reading something about it and they would bring it up when it was closer to the time they plan to do the list merge -
Quote:they vaguely mentioned this badge when they brought up the info about the EU/US server list combining a month or 2 ago, so i wouldnt discount getting this completely just yet till we see what they do with it for the server list combiningOriginally Posted by Nericus
Of course certain badges like Passport are written off as unattainable, but that's ok.
they did not give any details about it at the time, but it was mentioned several times -
Quote:ah didnt see that thread about it (might have forgotten about it or not seen it)Originally Posted by Microcosm
We know and are just as happy about it as you
prolly just got overexcited about it since i usually only play my WS like once every couple months like every other non lvl 50 toon i have lol -
so i was playing my WS on a mortimer kal sf, and i noticed i could USE mystic fortune on other while i was in forms AND secondary mutation stayed active when i changed forms and can even be used in forms now
good job devs!
edit: i have also noticed that [jump pack] beast and ninja runs also work with forms as well -

Quote:power and animators can create a new enemy group and/or add new enemies to old enemy groupsOriginally Posted by Foxy_Phoenix
Well, considering some of the things I suggest would be redoing old content (like Boomtown) I'm sure that takes care of the art team and story writers....powers designers and animators could do more Proliferation (which i guess would be new content...but that's being picky)
I'm sure what I'm suggesting could still use the entire dev team. -
Quote:the only poeple i usually see even go into the cutscene are Masque and Ele and maybe a few others whom i know will not mess things upOriginally Posted by Defenestrator
Seriously. Why even take the chance of bungling a trial at that stage?
If a trial fails because something goes hideously wrong...it happens.
If a trial fails because one person decides to be a complete tool...I have a problem with that.
in most of the pick ups i joined, a large majority of the poeple just dont do that from what ive seen
