Paradox555

Well, I'm not sure if it's because anyone saw this thread or not, but I was able to get five quick Magi farm runs together last night to finally unlock my Hybrid!

Thanks to everyone who ran with me last night, and thanks one last time to Virtue for being Virtue!

Hey all... count me among the many slackers trying to come back at the last minute to experience as much as possible before the end...

I joined at launch and played heavily for the first two years, but lost interest when I hit max level. I was around for the first Hamidon kill and enhancement diversification, and I used to run around Paragon with the original Elude (I may have been the only one).

I mostly lost interest though when my favorite character hit max level and there wasn't much left to do, but kept tabs on CoH and had always meant to return at some point and see all the content I'd missed. I've always remembered my Claws/SR scrapper, Naomi Lynx, as the most fun-to-play MMO character I've ever had, and when I heard CoH was shutting down, I scrambled back immediately to bounce around Paragon a few more times and try to see as much as I could.

In true old-school Scrapper style I did most of it solo . A good friend help me understand these newfangled "IO's" you kids have these days, and I finished out a new build. He showed me how to become an Incarnate and I unlocked the first five slots.

Now I'm stuck with a Hybrid slot I can't progress on my own, and still haven't had the chance to see any of the Incarnate Trials (I usually only have a little bit of time to play in the early morning). I'd like to get it unlocked before CoH closes...

Would anyone be willing to set their torches down long enough to help me with some Magisterium runs tonight? I'll be on by about 5PM EST and can stay as long as it takes!

I noticed the exact same thing when I fought Chimera (although I fought him before the EB oatch, so he was an archvillain). His bow would *ALWAYS* hit, right through my toggles stacked with perma-elude. The katana didn't give me much trouble. I suspect the bow is auto-hit, or it ignores defense at the very least.

I'd just like to know what calendar you're using. There is no Feb 30th, even during a Leap Year. I know that G_Tanker was kidding about the day..and I know that Fleo_DP knew he was kidding...but..still...Feb. 30th?

That was, of course, the whole joke =P. Go back and reread my post, there isn't a November 31st either. November only has 30 days.

You're both wrong, it's coming out November 31st.

Thank YOU States. And everyone involved. I had a blast.

The same thing happened to me. I spent weeks avoiding my missions or helping my lower level SG mates because I didn't want to level to 39. I was waiting for Issue 2 to hit so I could do the Numina TF before outleveling it. I did the TF the day after Issue 2 went live and the same thing happened to me and my group. We all beat Jurassik together and got the badge, we got the "Task Force Complete" message while still inside the mission and picked out SOs. No badge. Exited the mission and phoned it in. TF broke up, still no badge. I dinged 39 while on that TF, so I can't go back for it now. I bugged it when it happened as well.

This is going to be a problem with certain regions no matter what you do. Perez for example is just gonna be hell until all the Highbies get their badges out of the way. In Perez you can find Danmed, Bone Daddies, Gears, CoT Mages, Embalmed Cadavers/Abominations, Lost Bosses, and of course Kraken if you're lucky. All of those are pretty common within a certain area of the part too...it's hard to beat that kind of convenience.

While I like the exemplaring idea, people just flat out won't do it unless they're forced too. These badges already take a long time to get. I don't really think players should be forced to exemplar to get them either. They've been through those levels, and most have probably killed enough of each enemy type to have the badges already if they were retroactive. While I agree with the OP's concerns, I don't think there's really anything to be done about it that wouldn't piss off all the higher level players or disrupt the lowbie zones even more. Portal missions could be a very good solution, but are only available to 40+'s anyway. I think we'll just have to ride it out and try to be as nice to the lowbie fauna as possible.

I have bugged it in game, but that's exactly what I'm taking about. I did the Numina TF Friday and the Terra Volta Trial today. I didn't get the accomplishment badges for either, still have a blank spot for "Complete Numina's Taskforce" and "Complete the Terra Volta Trial." No one in my groups for either TF got those badges either. Has anyone done a taskforce or trial SINCE the patch and gotten an accomplishment badge for it?

Are badges for TFs done now (post Issue 2) in the same boat? I ran through the Numina TF last night with two others (other guy quit) and we didn't get a badge upon completing it.
